Yang Guang mistakenly thought that he had shot the red fox with an arrow, and he was proud in his heart, so he galloped to the edge of the grass, stretched out the longbow in his hand and pulled out the artemisia grass, wanting to see if the red fox was shot down in the grass.

Unexpectedly, a big snake suddenly sprang out of the grass, rose up, and pounced on Yang Guang. The "iron hoof dragon" under Yang Guang's crotch wanted to protect his master from harm, and the two front hooves were raised high, trying to block the big snake from pounced on Yang Guang, but threw the unguarded Yang Guang off the horse. The red fox in the grass took the opportunity to slip out of the grass and galloped into the field ahead.

Yang Guang was unexpectedly thrown off the horse, and he didn't care about the pain of falling on his body, he turned over and was about to jump up, when the big snake that came out of the grass had already pounced on him, and a pair of small eyes like mung beans on his triangular head were shining, spitting out blood-red tongues, and they were about to bite him on the neck.

Yang Guang closed his eyes in fright, and said in his heart: It's over.

However, what followed was a long neighing sound of horses in his ears. Yang Guang quickly opened his eyes, only to find that just as the big snake was about to bite him, the "Iron Hoof Dragon" stepped on the tail of the big snake with its two front hooves. The big snake left Yang Guang in pain, turned around and pounced on the "Iron Hoof Dragon".

It was too late, it was too fast, Yang Guang quickly picked up the longbow that fell beside him, swung it towards the big snake with all his strength, and worked with the "Iron Hoof Dragon" to deal with the attack of the big snake.

"Whoosh."

A feathered arrow flew from behind Yang Guang, impartial, nailed to the high head of the big snake. The serpent collapsed to the ground like a muddy mud and died.

"Lord Wang, you're not hurt, are you?" Zhang Xutuo held a longbow in his hand, rode his horse to Yang Guang first, looked at the dead snake on the ground, and asked Yang Guang with concern.

Yang Guang saw that it was Zhang Xutuo who shot the big snake with an arrow, but he refused to accept his love at all, turned over from the ground with a black face, stepped on the "iron hoof dragon" without saying a word, and was about to gallop away in the field in front of him.

"Lord, don't go into the field and trample on the crops carefully." Later, Li Che, who came on horseback, saw this situation and hurriedly dissuaded Yang Guangdao loudly.

Yang Guang strangled the "Iron Hoof Dragon" on the edge of the field, turned around and shouted at Li Che angrily: "Look, how can there be crops in this field? I'm going to hunt the red fox today and skin it with my own hands. ”

"Don't do it, my lord." The local guide trotted to Yang Guangma, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and neighed to persuade Yang Guangdao, "The red fox is a sacred object, and the prince can't hurt him thousands of times." ”

"A red fox, what kind of fetish?" Yang Guang, a traverser who had been deeply educated in atheism since childhood, replied disdainfully, and then shouted to the hussar battalion sergeants who rushed to the front, "Fence this field for this king, and if I don't hunt this red fox today, I won't go back to the city." ”

"Slow down." An Ruoxi listened to the guide's solemn words, and knew that there must be a story in it, so he walked to Yang Guang's horse, and while checking whether Yang Guang was injured, he persuaded him, "What Qi Angong said is very true, even if the prince wants to hunt, he must not ride into the field and trample on the crops in the field. This little brother is a local of Bingzhou, and also called the red fox a sacred object, so he must not hurt it, so the prince might as well listen to the reason, so as not to accidentally injure the divine object and cause trouble. ”

Yang Guang looked back at the field, and the red fox had long since disappeared, so he angrily stretched out his hand to the field, and said to An Ruoxi: "You can see clearly, how can there be a crop in this field?" ”

Li Che also rode his horse to the front at this time, helping An Ruoxi persuade Yang Guangdao: "The fox is cunning by nature, and the prince doesn't have to hold too much grudge against this red fox." Let's go to the wilderness ahead and look for other prey, so as not to spoil the prince's interest in going out of the city to hunt today. He turned to the guide kneeling in front of Yang Guangma, and asked with interest: "I just heard you say to the prince that the red fox is a sacred object, and you can't hurt it. ”

The guide was encouraged by Li Che, glanced at Yang Guang with timid eyes, and seeing that he was speechless, Fang arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, ranking general, I also heard from the elders in the family, thinking that back then, the former Emperor Qi took his favorite concubine Feng to shoot a red fox in the hunting ground outside Bingzhou City, and peeled off its skin to make a shawl for Feng Shufei, which annoyed the heavens, so that the Qi Dynasty destroyed the country. The elders also said that the appearance of the red fox was a good omen, and as long as it was let go of life, the heavens would reward the people who released it. Speaking of which, the little one has to say hello to the prince. ”

Yang Guang listened to the female yellow in the guide's letter, and patted his ass in public, but he still felt that he couldn't swallow before he couldn't hunt, but he almost lost his life, and replied to him angrily: "Come on, anyway, the red fox has escaped without a trace, let you arrange it." So saying, he set off on his horse and went on to hunt in the wilderness.

"Lord Wang, do you think it's strange?" An Ruoxi stared at the field for a long time, and asked Yang Guang thoughtfully.

"What's weird?" Yang Guang followed her gaze and looked at the empty field again, and asked her puzzledly, "Isn't it strange that there are no crops growing in the field?" ”

"Exactly." An Ruoxi raised his head and glanced at the sky, and replied, "Lord Wang, please think about it, it is the busy season of spring ploughing and farming, and it is already three poles at this moment, but there is no figure in the field, and no crops have been planted in the field, is this normal?" ”

Li Che said this through An Ruoxi, and also echoed: "Yes, Lord Wang, let's go out of the city all the way, I vaguely feel that there is something wrong, after Miss An reminded me, I suddenly remembered that what I saw along the way was indeed suspected of abandonment." ”

"Qi Angong, Ruoxi, why did there be abandonment?" Whether before or after the crossing, Yang Guang grew up in the city and lacked experience in rural life, so he didn't know much about what Li Che and An Ruoxi said.

Li Che wanted to speak and stopped, but An Ruoxi and Yang Guang had a special relationship, and he had less scruples in his heart, and replied: "There are no more than two reasons for abandonment: one is natural disasters and the other is man-made disasters. Either way, if you don't get a good harvest or don't have enough to feed your family, you will have to abandon your farm and have no way to make a living. ”

"If the farmers refuse to grow crops, what will these many people in and out of the city depend on to feed?" Yang Guang didn't hear any more meaning from An Ruoxi's somewhat general answer, so he asked straightforwardly.

"So my lord, this is by no means a trivial matter. If there is a large-scale abandonment of the nineteen state capitals under the rule of Hebei Province, the consequences are unimaginable, and the prince can take it lightly. An Ruoxi replied earnestly.

Yang Guang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly blew a long whistle from his lips to recall the "Black General", and ordered Li Che and the others: "Go back to the city." ”
