Just when Zhou Zhong was struggling with whether to go to the capital, Zhengde in Beijing was having a lot of fun, only to see that in the hunting ground of Xiyuan, dozens of war horses were flying vertically and horizontally, and the people on the horses were all dressed in full strength, holding knives and arrows in their hands, and the prey in the hunting ground was also frightened by these people and fled indiscriminately, but they could not escape the encirclement.

Zhengde was wearing a light leather armor, running back and forth on the hunting ground with a bow and arrow in hand, shooting an arrow from time to time, and the prey that was driven together fell to the ground with arrows.

"I've exhausted my strength, and then I'll watch the performances of the children!" finally waited for Zhengde to finish shooting the arrows in the quiver, and at this time he almost ran out of strength, and stopped at the moment to point at Jiang Bin and Qian Ning and others. Zhengde has accepted Jiang Bin and others as their righteous sons, and gave them the surname Zhu, although Jiang Bin and others are not younger than Zhengde, and some are even older than Zhengde, but everyone is proud of it.

Hearing Zhengde's order, Jiang Bin and the others were also happy to accept the order, after all, this is their best opportunity to perform in front of Zhengde, as long as they can beat everyone in the hunt, then they will be appreciated by Zhengde, and even if they meet Zhengde's good mood, it is not impossible to raise their official position by one or two levels.

Most of Zhengde's righteous sons were recommended by Jiang Bin from the border army, and a small number were recommended by Qian Ning, all of them are brave and martial arts, and their archery and riding skills are all top-notch, otherwise they would not have entered Zhengde's eyes. Now these people are working together, and as a result, the prey that has been driven together has also suffered, and in the blink of an eye, they have been shot down, and some of them are even about to be shot like hedgehogs.

Looking at the prey that fell to the ground, Zhengde laughed, he didn't have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, he only used this way of hunting to experience the atmosphere in the army, every time he hunted. It can be said that these are his happiest moments.

Under the ravages of Jiang Bin's group of marksmen, those prey were quickly slaughtered, and finally after counting, Jiang Bin still won the first place. Another border army general who was recommended by Jiang Bin won the second place, as for Qian Ning, a sharpshooter who was born in Jinyiwei, he was not conspicuous at all in this group of border troops, his grades were not up or down, and there was nothing brilliant at all, which made Qian Ning also angry in his heart, and glared at Jiang Bin with bright eyes viciously, he used to be the most showy person in hunting every time, but since this Jiang Bin appeared, he has become a dispensable figure in the hunting ground.

Hostility towards Channing. Jiang Bin had already noticed it, and even every time he met Qian Ning outside, the other party never gave him a good look, but Jiang Bin was not afraid of Qian Ning at all, don't look at Qian Ning now in charge of Jinyiwei. And Jiang Bin only controls the border army in the Beijing camp, but in Zhengde's heart, Jiang Bin's status is not below Qian Ning, so as long as Jiang Bin does not take the initiative to provoke Qian Ning, then Qian Ning has no way to take him.

Zhengde didn't seem to have any awareness of the dirtiness between Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, when he saw that Jiang Bin still won the first place this time. Laughing and clapping, and then rewarded Jiang Bin with a manor outside the city, and now Jiang Bin has become the commander of the border army in the Beijing camp, although his power is not as good as Qian Ning, but he can no longer promote his official position, after all, there is no position suitable for Jiang Bin above. Unless it is to take down Qian Ning's Jinyi Guard's commander and hand it over to Jiang Bin, after all, the power of Jinyiwei's commander is much stronger than that of Jingying's commander, which is one of the reasons why Qian Ning is so hostile to Jiang Bin, after all, Jiang Bin's rise has posed a huge threat to his position.

After hunting, Zhengde did not leave the hunting ground immediately. Instead, Jiang Bin and the others immediately took the prey to an artificial stream in Xiyuan and began to deal with the prey, even Zhengde did it himself, and seemed to have a lot of fun.

After the prey was cleaned up, some of the little eunuchs had already set up a fire, and then Zhengde lit the fire with his own hands, and began to play barbecue with Jiang Bin and them, and at the same time the little eunuchs also sent a jar of spirits, Zhengde and Jiang Bin and others did not use a wine bowl, directly after opening the wine seal, they drank wine while eating meat on the wine altar, just like the soldiers who returned from the victory were celebrating, although Zhengde knew that these were fake, but he was still intoxicated.

By the second half of this picnic, it was already in the afternoon, and Zhengde and Jiang Bin and others were a little drunk, but this drunkenness also made people ignore the gap in identity, and they were foaming at the mouth, and even a few stupid and bold dared to call Zhengde a brother and sister through alcohol, and Zhengde didn't care at all, because he felt that this was the life he wanted.

"Hey~, I didn't meet big prey like tigers or black bears in hunting today, all of them were rabbits and deer, which was really a bit unsatisfying!" A strong, shirtless general, his face flushed from drinking, and shouted with the strength of his wine.

"This is, I think when I was in Liaodong, I once encountered a black bear in winter, more than one zhang high, and as a result, more than a dozen of our brothers shot arrows together, and finally injured seven people, before the black bear was killed, and the bear meat alone let us eat half a winter, it was really enjoyable!" A tall general also echoed loudly, but his words were a bit of a show-off, after all, the big prey of the black bear is not something that ordinary people can hit.

"Hehe, what is a black bear, when Lao Tzu was a small soldier in Ningxia, he went out on patrol and met two tigers, a male and a female, and at this time it was the estrus period of the tiger, and the temperament was extremely violent, as a result, ten of us faced two tigers, six of the recruits were all scared away, and two of the remaining four of us fought hand-to-hand with the tiger, and the other two were out with arrows, and finally the two tigers were finally ground to death, but Lao Tzu also broke a trick!" One of the one-eyed generals also spoke at this time, and there was a scar left by a sharp claw on the right side of his face, which slashed through his forehead, making this eye blind as well, but it also showed that the man was not lying.

Most of these people recommended by Jiang Bin and Qian Ning were rough men in the army, and it was just other places, but now they heard others boasting about the prey they had hit before, which made everyone else not to be outdone, and they took out the fierce prey they had hit before and bragged about it, and the result was chaos on the field, but Zhengde listened with relish.

By the time this picnic was over, most of Zhengde's righteous sons were already drunk, only Zhengde, Jiang Bin, and Qian Ning were still sober, only then Zhengde suddenly smiled and said: "I didn't get the big prey today, I also feel a little regretful, but there are a lot of fierce beasts in this West Garden, and I will fight with those fierce beasts in my spare time. ”

In addition to leopards, there are also many other beasts in the West Garden, such as tigers, lions, bears, etc., some of these beasts are sent to Zhengde to relieve boredom, and they have been trained to do some tricks such as drilling fire rings and stepping on wooden balls.

However, more beasts are the beasts that Zhengde let people catch from the mountains, in order to show their bravery, Zhengde often fights with these beasts for fun, to put it bluntly, it is full of food and support, many martial nobles in history have this habit, the most famous is a son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named Liu Xu, who likes to fight with beasts the most, and even built a bear garden, when he has time, he likes to pull out a bear from it to compete with himself, claiming to be invincible to fight the bear clan, Zhengde's status is higher than Liu Xu, But there is also this problem of being full and holding out.

Hearing Zhengde's proposal to fight the beast, if Li Dongyang and the others were to oppose it vigorously, but Jiang Bin and Qian Ning didn't think about it so much, and in order to show their bravery, maybe they would end up in person. At that moment, the three of them staggered to their feet, and walked towards the northeast corner of the West Garden with the help of several little eunuchs. Speaking of which, although the three of them were not drunk, they also drank a lot, and if they were not supported by the little eunuch at this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to walk.

The three of them stumbled all the way to the northeast corner of the West Garden, which is the place where the beasts in captivity in the palace are raised, only to see that large pits have been dug out of the ground, and the beasts are placed in deep pits, and there are fences around them, so they don't have to worry about these beasts escaping.

Zhengde's amount of alcohol was originally excellent, but he drank a jar of spirits just now, and now he has come all the way, and he was blown by the wind, and the whole person became a little dizzy, and his brain was a little less sober, plus he was heard before the boasting of the righteous sons, which made Zhengde's blood boil at this time, when he came to a deep pit with a tiger, he immediately asked people to prepare a ladder, and he wanted to go down to fight with the tiger.

The beast slaves who are responsible for training and raising fierce beasts have long been accustomed to Zhengde's requirements, after all, this is not the first time, and Zhengde is not fighting with fierce beasts with bare hands like Liu Xu in history, but wearing armor and holding sharp weapons in his hands, coupled with Zhengde's superb martial arts, even if he can't win against a tiger, there is no problem with self-preservation.

It is precisely because of this that the beast slaves quickly put down the ladder, and then Zhengde went down the ladder to the deep pit, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin were not the first time to watch Zhengde fight with the beast, so they were very relaxed, but in order to ensure the safety of Zhengde, they also went down to the pit together, and pressed the formation for Zhengde in the back, in case of any danger, they could also come to the rescue. It's a pity that none of the three of Zhengde expected that their boring actions this time would put themselves in a kind of danger.
