Chapter 136: Autumn Hunting
Li Mi was quite interested in Yu Lang's Chang'an Times, and read it with relish for a long time with a few sample magazines, especially liking the serialized martial arts stories in the newspaper.
Yu Lang didn't hide his selfishness, and took out the entire copy of the martial arts "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that had already been transcribed and handed it to Li Mi.
Li Mi looked at it for a while and was fascinated, and asked, "You wrote this book?" ”
Yu Lang shook his head: "It was written by a Tang man who lived in seclusion in the desert, his name is Zha Liangyong, he was indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and entrusted me to pass it on his behalf." ”
"The author of this book has a block in his chest, a sword in his pen, and a strange person, I really want to meet him." Li Mi felt quite regretful.
"When you have a good egg, why bother to see the hen that lays it?" Yu Lang quoted Mr. Qian Zhongshu's original words here.
Li Mi felt very fresh: "It is indeed a wonderful answer." ”
"Okay, I'm quite tired all the way from Vientiane Mountain, you are such a big Hou Mansion, you won't have a guest room for me, right?" Li Mi yawned, and when he thought about it, he hadn't slept for almost half a month. For Apocalypse Realm cultivators, the recovery of sleep to the body is minimal, but the spirit of sleepless for a long time will always be tired.
Yu Lang was a little surprised: "Naturally, there are guest rooms, but you want to live with me?" ”
Li Mi patted Yu Lang's shoulder: "Didn't you listen to Fat Man?" In three days, you will take the Long Wujun to hunt with Your Majesty, and at that time, Fat Man An is very likely to be unfavorable to you, and I have to protect you. ”
Yu Lang was moved in his heart: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao." ”
Li Mi was stunned: "You still remember this relationship." ”

Back in the bedroom, Yu Lang took out the five-element bow and wiped it carefully. Since you want to hunt, you naturally need a good bow, and the Five Elements Bow is an artifact whose grade is not below the Fantian Seal, and now Yu Lang's understanding of it is far from enough.
In the sea of qi, the three forces of the Singularity Dao Seal, the Vermilion Bird Dao Seal, and the Power of the Northern Underworld each have a corner, and now there is an extra round Five Elements Ball, and the power residual waves in the Five Elements Ball cannot be directly driven, and can only be slowly consumed with the Five Elements Bow as the lead. Yu Lang didn't try to comprehend the power of the five elements and establish a fourth force in the sea of qi, and most of the five-colored stones in the treasury of Quy Nhon also fell into Yu Lang's hands. He has the material conditions to comprehend the power of the five elements, but after several attempts to comprehend, he was not allowed to enter the door, and Yu Lang was also quite distressed.
The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and the most taboo thing in practice is to be anxious for quick success, Yu Lang suppressed the restlessness in his heart, hung up the five elements bow, and fell asleep peacefully.
……
……
This time the autumn hunt Xuanzong only brought the crown prince Li Shao, the longevity king Li Mao two sons and a number of ministers, and the civil officials were led by Li Jingtang - Li Linfu was old after all, and was not invited to participate in the autumn hunt, in fact, there were very few civil officials present, mostly young people; The military attache was led by An Lushan, all of whom were full of energy, trying to show their faces in front of the saint in this autumn hunt. In charge of guarding the heavy duty was the Long Wu Army under the command of Yu Lang, the Marquis of Quy Nhhon, and Yu Lang himself also participated in this hunt.
Xuanzong relied on the good horse under his crotch and rode the horse wildly. The ministers have a very good scale, try to catch up with the pace of Xuanzong, and fall behind half a position, so as not to dominate the guests.
Shouwang Li Mao is a depressed man, who did not fire an arrow during the autumn hunt, and often looked at the dead branches and red leaves in a daze. He fell at the back of the line with Yu Lang. Li Mao actually took the initiative to talk to Yu Lang: "The jade bow behind the back of the Hou of Guiren is really good-looking, but is such a delicate jade bow really useful?" ”
Although Li Mao was down, after all, he was a prince, Yu Lang did not dare to slack off, and replied: "This bow is not made of jade, the bow body is extremely tough, and it needs a specific internal breath to drive, and it is extremely powerful." ”
"Can the Marquis of Quy Nhon take a look at this king?" Li Mao's attitude is extremely humble, and he has no intention of suppressing people with power.
Yu Lang immediately took off the Five Elements Bow and handed it to Li Mao, this bow is just a plaything in the hands of ordinary people, and there is no bowstring, and there is no need to worry about King Shou cutting his fingers.
Li Mao played with it for a while, and then handed back the Five Elements Bow: "The Marquis of Guiren is really good at creation, although this bow King can't fully grasp the mysteries, he also faintly feels that this is a rare artifact." ”
Yu Lang said tentatively: "If King Shou likes it, he will stay." ”
Li Mao smiled faintly: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others, besides, a good horse with a good saddle, this bow is just an ornament in my hands, and it can be used to the best in the hands of a famous general like Quy Nhon Hou." ”
"What are you two hiding behind and muttering?" Xuanzong turned around and shouted, "Gui Renhou, you come with me and shoot that blue wolf for me." This beast is such a great creation, and it will not die after being hit by two arrows. ”
Yu Lang drove the good horse under his crotch to the forefront of the team, drew the five-element bow and suddenly released the arrow, and the air arrow instantly pierced the left eye of the blue wolf. The wolf lost his life, but his body did not seem to be completely dead, and his two strong front hooves pounced twice in the air and fell to the ground with a bang.
There was silence all around, and no one spoke out in admiration, but many people had gloating expressions on their faces.
An Lushan said in a strange manner: "Quy Nhon Marquis is so majestic, this blue wolf has the imperial spirit, we waited for all the arrows to miss, only His Majesty, who is the Son of Heaven, shot two arrows, but Quy Nhon Marquis ......"
Several Long Wujun, who had a good relationship with Yu Lang, were shocked into a cold sweat, An Lushan was heartbroken by this, this was slandering Yu Lang for having a heart of disobedience and committing a big taboo of His Majesty.
Yu Lang reacted very quickly, and immediately responded unhurriedly: "Although this blue wolf has the aura of an emperor, only His Majesty can shoot two arrows at it and point out the way for our courtiers. However, the Divine Son of Heaven also needs the assistance of good ministers, how can he do everything himself? The last general is just to share the worries of the Son of Heaven and kill the blue wolf shot by the Son of Heaven. ”
Xuanzong Longyan Dayue: "Well said, although I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, how can I bow to everything?" Only a good minister like Quy Nhon Hou can share my worries! This blue wolf was given to the Marquis of Quy Nhon with another thousand taels of gold and a gold medal for avoiding death! ”
The gold medal for exemption from death is not exempt from death many times, but it only represents the favor of His Majesty, and the sins that should be exempted can be exempted without a gold medal, and the gold medals for the sins that should not be exempted cannot bring back the sacred heart.
Yu Lang immediately thanked him.
An Lushan's face was gloomy, he originally intended to take advantage of this to make trouble, but he didn't expect to let Yu Lang be a blessing in disguise.
Li Jingtang, the left minister, just smiled and took his hand, as if he had already expected that An Lushan's move would not threaten Yu Lang. If he did it, Yu Lang would naturally not be the opponent of this Fan Yang Jiedu, but if he said that he was playing with these careful eyes, An Lushan was still five hundred years away. Otherwise, An Lushan would not have been played by Li Linfu, who was powerless, and even these twelve wolf guards were subordinate to Li Linfu. These secrets were also learned by Li Jingtang after he became Li Linfu's confidant, it turned out that An Lushan, who was invincible outside, belonged to Li Linfu in Chang'an City, how dare he walk on thin ice? Even his every move in Fan Yang was monitored by the Li family's intelligence system.
And Li Linfu looks beautiful, and his every move is actually under the control of Xuanzong. Xuanzong is by no means as easy to fool as he seems, he has gone through countless storms in his life, and has already pondered the emperor's mental skills to the extreme, favoring An Lushan alone to control the rest of the festivals, and then using Li Linfu to balance An Lushan, and after suppressing the forces of the East Palace, he vigorously promoted Yu Lang, a lonely minister, to fight against Li Linfu, and every move is the result of his careful consideration.
If there is any flaw in Xuanzong, it is that he is too conceited, he never believes that he will grow old, and he overestimates the wisdom and loyalty of some chess pieces. He let An Lushan command 150,000 troops, which is exactly a critical value, with these 150,000 An Lushan is enough to deter the rest of those who have a grudge against him, but it is not enough to rebel, he thinks he is right, but he overestimates An Lushan's reason, this is an outlaw, he has nothing, why is he afraid of desperate? He also overestimated the loyalty of Yu Lang, a young man, who did not know that he had already vigorously developed in Quy Nhon and actively built his own base camp.
Xuanzong was in a very good mood at this time, and said to King Shou: "Li Mao, as my Li family's son, it's not like to go on the horse and not shoot arrows, you shoot that young wolf for me." ”
The crown prince Li Shao has already laid down a lot of prey, King Shou is still empty-handed, Xuanzong does not want the courtiers to feel that they are favoritism, and deliberately gave Li Mao a chance to show his face.
Li Mao smiled bitterly: "Father, the son just wanted to come out to see the scenery, and he didn't carry a bow and arrow. ”
"It's an order." Xuanzong added.
Li Mao had no choice but to agree: "Erchen likes the bow in the hand of the Marquis of Quy Nhon quite a lot, can you borrow his bow to use it?" ”
Without waiting for Xuanzong to express his position, Yu Lang gave the Five Elements Bow to Li Mao, but he didn't know what medicine was sold in the Shouwang gourd, he knew that the Five Elements Bow in Yu Lang's hand had no bowstring and could only be driven by a specific internal breath.
Li Mao took the Five Elements Bow, and actually raised his hand and released an arrow at random, and the air arrow that shot quickly was the same as Yu Lang, but the power was much weaker. The air arrow also pierced the young wolf's eye, killing him with one blow.
This time, there was a cheer around, Li Mao was low-key, he had no friends or enemies in the court, and his own status was prominent, and the attitude of the ministers was very different from when Yu Lang shot arrows before.
Yu Lang's heart shook violently, he never thought that Li Mao, the king of longevity, was also the power of the five elements of cultivation.
Xuanzong didn't look surprised at all, and suddenly said lightly to Yu Lang: "The power of the five elements, accompanied by the Vermilion Bird Dao Seal, can only be practiced by the emperor's descendants in the Tang Dynasty, and this bow can only be driven by the power of the five elements, I don't know where the mechanics of the five elements come from?" ”
In the last few words, Xuanzong's voice suddenly turned higher, and it could even be said to be a little stern. He saw the clue before but didn't attack, and deliberately took Li Mao as a guide, just to ask Yu Lang this question.
Li Mao had a bitter face, he liked Quy Nhon Hou a lot, and he felt quite sorry that he didn't have time to remind Yu Lang before.
Yu Lang gritted his teeth and told the truth: "When the last general attacked Xiao Bolu in the west, he had a fierce battle with the lord of the old country, Hongye, and the singularity Dao practiced by the last general has the ability to absorb the cultivation of others, in order to defeat that person and reduce the casualties of the Western Expeditionary Army, the last general absorbed most of the power of the five elements of Hongye, so there is some retention in the sea of qi." Later, when I checked the treasury, I found this bow, and I played with it out of curiosity, and found that the power of the five elements condensed in the sea of qi could be consumed by this bow......"
Xuanzong nodded: "Your kid is quite honest, and it is basically consistent with my understanding, just like you said before, maybe you are really a good minister sent to me by God, not a child of the royal family but obtained the power of the five elements by coincidence." Li Jingtang, you go back and tell your father-in-law, don't use this matter to impeach Gui Renhou, I know it in my heart. ”
Li Jingtang nodded hurriedly, it turned out that Xuanzong deliberately mentioned this matter to protect Yu Lang.
Xuanzong said again: "Since you have the power of the five elements in your body that needs to be resolved, then I hereby allow you to come to the palace to learn the power of the five elements, condense the Vermilion Bird Dao Seal, and accept you as a righteous son." ”
Not only Yu Lang, but even the surrounding ministers were stunned, this is a great gift.
Everyone's reaction was expected by Xuanzong, and he liked to see the surprised expressions on their faces: "There is another thing, you need to promise me." ”
"The last general, never give up."
Xuanzong smiled and said: "You have been accepted as my righteous son, and you will be called my father emperor in the future." I want to give you a marriage, and I order you to marry the Tibetan princess Zhuoma as the Marquis of Quy Nhin, so that I can completely defend the territory of Quy Nhon Kingdom. ”
Yu Lang felt as if he had suddenly been pressed on his shoulders, and he hugged his fists and said: "It will be difficult for the end to obey his fate!" ”
Is Quy Nhon Hou crazy? How dare you openly resist the decree? The ministers talked a lot.
Even Li Yu, who was mixed in the Longwu Army, pinched a cold sweat for Yu Lang, Xuanzong had the best face, so that even if he was favored in public, there would be no good fruit to eat.
