Chapter 111: Hunting

Wugong County was still quiet and peaceful yesterday, but it was the middle of the night, it had become a hell on earth, the corpses on the ground were intertwined, the wounds of all sizes seemed to be cracked fish mouths, constantly bubbling with blood-red bubbles, and everyone's blood accumulated together, seeping into the dry ground like a stream. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the county office, it is not much better, the woman's body is hanging on the beam of the house like bacon, the strong wind blows, and it is still shaking, and the man ended his life with the long knife in his hand, and fell in the courtyard with a soft step.

In the living room of the back house, Li Ming knelt on the edge of the desk with his son who only had half of his head left, his eyes glazed and did not move at all, if he looked carefully, he could still see the blood that had been pushed into a puddle under his feet.

The noisy town had now returned to the peace of the previous night, so peaceful that even the barking of the dogs could no longer be heard, and the breeze blew, bringing with it a burst of fishy smell, and also bringing up a pinch of dust covering the dark red blood, and it was gone in an instant.

"Whew~~"

The 50,000 Turks shouted and shouted, excited, they raised their bloody scimitars high, and then swirled around the capital, patted the grain on the horse's back, and a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths, it was a happy smile, because with them, they would not be worried about being hungry this winter, Xu felt that the blood on his chest was a little wet and sticky, and he sneezed irritably, muttering that the blood of the Han people wet his clothes.

How many Han Chinese did you kill last night? Ten more, thinking of the way those Han people were constantly struggling under their own knives, the smile on the corner of their mouth became more and more conspicuous.

"Khan ~ Our men have always been brave! I'll bring you back the grain and grass of the entire Jingzhou~haha~"

King Zuo Xian opened the curtain while stepping into the big tent towards the big foot, there was no joy and encouragement from the imaginary crowd, and there was no warm welcome, when the two scimitars were on his neck, King Zuo Xian was angry!

"What are you doing here! I'm your uncle! The first time you rode a horse, I stroked it, and I don't accept it! I'm not convinced! ”

Jieli looked at the old face of King Zuo Xian coldly, he couldn't see joy and sorrow, he just waved his hand at him, military discipline needs to be strict, otherwise those tribes will rebel, although Jieli doesn't know what it means to kill chickens and monkeys, but he knows that if he doesn't kill King Zuoxian, things will be difficult to do in the future, if he takes Chang'an this time, his status will definitely rise to a level, but if he can't take it, he will become the target of the public, and it will be difficult to do it in the future.

The deterrent effect has been played, and seeing everyone sitting honestly in their positions without speaking, Jieli breathed a sigh of relief.

"Early tomorrow morning, attack Chang'an!"

"Yes!"

*************************************

The scenery of Qinling always makes Li Chengqian a little lingering, standing on the hill, blowing a slightly cool mountain breeze, and the depression in his heart finally has an outlet for catharsis.

His father wants to be honest and honest, Li Chengqian knows that Li Er is telling himself that the matter of the academy is halfway, don't think about it now, don't mention it in the future, it was originally a very simple thing, but Li Er thought too much, and even thought about the threat to the imperial power, in his heart, the five surnames and seven families were still like a flood of beasts, untouchable, untouchable.

Since people want to let themselves rest, fortunately they let go of those things, without their own Zhenguan is still Zhenguan Shengshi, without their own Datang is still the majestic and magnificent Datang, riding horses and hunting, drunk and baqiao, living up to this freshly dressed and angry horse boyhood.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with me today, why did you suddenly remember to hunt."

Li Chengqian was followed by more than a dozen young men who were also freshly dressed and angry, and when they got closer, it was the eldest grandson who rushed to them, several of them were carrying small bows on their backs, mountain eagles on their arms, and several waxy yellow hunting dogs behind them, looking indescribable.

"Yesterday, my father scolded when he went back, saying that it was not fair, and people were wronged, I wanted to ask, but I was kicked, and in the morning I was sent to the East Palace to hunt with His Royal Highness, maybe I was wronged."

"Hey~ Xiao Chong, aren't you Cheng Qian's companion, I haven't told you about this?"

Eldest Sun Chong pursed his lips, tilted his head and glanced at Cheng Chumo, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness hasn't been to the bachelor's place for more than half a year, and I usually can't see it. ”

Xu is voice was a little louder, Li Chengqian glanced back at a few people, grinned and said: "What are you talking about behind my back, the brothers haven't seen each other for a few months, I'm afraid that they are all divided, and they don't dare to say it in front of them?" ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and then smiled at the same time: "How can it be~ Big brother is too hearty~ But I just see that my eldest brother is in a bad mood, and I want to ask what is going on." ”

As soon as Yu Chi Linjia said this, he was kicked by the eldest grandson on the side, and immediately reacted that he was not adding fuel to the fire, and smiled at Li Chengqian, and quickly changed the topic: "The prey has almost been driven over, let's prepare earlier, if anyone wins today, how about a treat in the sky?" ”

"What is the heavenly dwelling, if we win, please go to Yicui Building~"

"Haha~ You're not afraid of being knocked off by Grandpa Cheng~"

There was a burst of laughter, but Li Chengqian's mood was much better, regardless of anything else, he drew his bow on horseback and said to everyone: "Okay, let the guards follow, don't get hurt." ”

"I know~"

As he spoke, everyone rode their horses and scattered into the distance, and every thirty paces, one person stopped, until a dozen people stopped, and then everyone greeted each other and walked slowly towards the mountain forest.

The so-called hunting, the focus is on the enclosure, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, not to mention the danger of hunting on horseback, the sound of horses' hooves will definitely disturb those prey, so dismounting and hunting is a serious hunting method, everyone holds a bow and arrow to surround a long strip of the city, each guarding a piece, on the other side of the forest, someone chases and shouts, the frightened prey will run towards Li Chengqian's side, and hunting has become much easier.

Li Chengqian is no stranger to bow hunting, in his previous life, when he was free, he and his brothers drove pickup trucks all over the Gobi to chase antelopes and release arrows, that kind of chaotic place, human life is not valuable, not to mention those so-called protected animals, but what is different from before is that the eighty-pound compound bow in his hand has been replaced by a soft bow that is now only more than twenty pounds.

When it comes to bows and arrows, it is associated with the ancient bow-making process, the Han palace is a kind of recurve bow, this kind of bow production time is very long, and it is also very elegant. “

Analyze the bow trunk in winter, treat the horns in the spring, treat the tendons in the summer, close the materials in the autumn, put the bow arm in the bow box in the cold winter, and repair the appearance in the severe winter. In winter, the dry wood of the bow is naturally smooth and fine; In spring, it is naturally moist and soft; In summer, you will not be entangled; In autumn, all the materials are closed, and the white is tight; If the bow body is fixed in winter, the bow will not be deformed; In the severe winter and extreme cold, the glue and paint are completely dry and solid, so the appearance can be repaired. Attach the bowstring in the spring and store it for another year before using it.

The above-mentioned complex process takes two to three years. In the bow-making workshop, because the work can be staggered and flowing, there will be batches of finished products every year, but in the case of a bow, its man-hours cannot be shortened.

Therefore, no matter which dynasty it is, the control of bows and arrows is extremely strict, and civilians are not allowed to use hard bows of more than two stones, even if they are rich and noble, a good bow and arrow is also a luxury.

Li Chengqian's bow was given by Li Er, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, wrapped in yellow silk, and even the arrow feathers were carefully carved.

Several people put the arrow feather on the bow Xuan, if you look closely, Li Chengqian's method of pinching the Xuan is also different from everyone else, Li Chengqian's thumb is suspended, the remaining four fingers are on the bow Xuan, and the index finger and middle finger are clamped between the arrow. For the rest of the people, the second joint of the thumb is hooked, and the first joint of the thumb is pressed with the index and middle fingers of the fist to make sure that the bowstring is pulled apart. Use your fists to clamp the end of the arrow to control the arrow.

Qinling, which has not been developed by humans, is definitely a paradise for animals, red deer, yellow sheep, otters, stone martens, raccoon dogs, leopard cats, weasels, badgers, except for a few animals that cannot be eaten, the rest are rare game.

After about half a cup of tea, Li Chengqian had already seen an earthy yellow roe deer looking up in the forest, the two were only twenty steps apart, Li Chengqian hid behind the tree, looked at the location of the roe deer, pursed the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the eldest grandson on the side.

I saw that the two of them did not answer, and at the same time pulled up the soft bow in their hands, and the squeak of Gong Xuan being pulled closer may have made the roe deer sense the danger, and the two ears kept moving back and forth, and the dark eyes looked around vigilantly.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

Almost at the same time, the two arrow feathers galloped towards the roe deer in no particular order, like meteors, as fast as thunder.

Li Chengqian's arrow was only tightly inserted into the front chest of the roe deer, the arrow entered three feet, and the arrow was suddenly inserted with a bright red blood pop out, the roe deer was suddenly frightened, and the long legs fled towards the distant hillside, Li Chengqian did not chase, just watched from behind, until a moment later, the roe deer suddenly stopped all movements, and his body stood up, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Your Highness is so handsome in archery."

Li Chengqian got off to a good start, everyone praised in unison, a few hunting dogs Xu asked about the smell of blood, and couldn't help but want to break free from the master's pull, Xiaobai didn't care much, the first time he entered the forest, Xu felt very excited, saw the roe deer to the end, and swished towards the roe deer.

Li Chengqian laughed, looked at everyone and raised the bow and arrow in his hand proudly.

"Continue~"
