Chapter 146: Competing for Prey
As night fell, the noise rang out beyond the trees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCountless torches illuminate this place as if it were daylight.
A thin young man patted a fat young man, and he couldn't hide the snort on his face: "Dead fat man, guess how many prey you have shot for your brother today."
"Still a brother? I'm obviously older than you, so be careful that I tell your dad to go." The chubby youth glanced at the thin young man with disdain.
The thin young man completely ignored him: "Just you? I think it's okay."
"Why do you dare to look down on people? I tell you, I'm not afraid of your father." The fat young man jumped straight to his feet.
The thin young man completely ignored: "Tell me how much prey you have hit today, dead fat man".
"Three hares, three ......". When the chubby young man said the three hares, he showed an embarrassed expression.
The thin young man covered his forehead exaggeratedly, only feeling that the sky was dark: "Don't tell me, you only hit three hares today." My God, you've got forty private soldiers with you."
"Three ......". As soon as the fat young man spoke, he felt that he couldn't lose the battle, so he cheered himself up: "Three is already good, I think you may not be able to beat three."
"Phew". The thin young man felt underestimated, spat out a mouthful of spit to express his contempt, and waved his hand behind him: "Lift it up and show this dead fat man."
Dozens of private soldiers, carrying eight hares and a deer, came over.
The thin young man triumphantly pointed to the corpse of a deer and looked at the fat young man: "How about you take it this time."
"You're just lucky." The fat young man replied stiffly.
The scene of such a discussion is everywhere, Zhao Yu looked at the crowd in front of him, listened to their words of discussion, and looked at Xue Qian: "Why did you say that the fourth brother hasn't come back yet, should it be to return to Xindu?"
"No, we didn't negotiate in the woods in the afternoon. Since the fourth prince wants to compare well, he must still be hunting in the forest at this time." Xue Qian shook his head slightly, thinking of the scene when he was separated from Zhao Wuming in the forest for an hour and a half, and expressed his opposition without thinking.
Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo, who were playing with the tiger cubs on the side, and sighed with some emotion in his heart: "If it weren't for the fourth brother's insistence on refusing to use the corpses of those two fierce tigers as his prey, why would he go hunting in such a tight time, if it is too late today to distinguish the direction, there are many wild beasts inside, I am afraid that there will be danger."
"Prince, don't forget the guards around him, with the guards around the fourth prince, it should be fine." Xue Qian thought of the look of surprise he had when he saw nearly four hundred guards in light armor when he left. When he came, there were only a hundred around the four princes, but there were nearly four hundred people in the forest, and the speed of the four princes' mansions to deploy troops was amazing.
When Zhao Yu heard Xue Qian's words, he cast a shadow in his heart. As soon as this thought appeared, it was immediately dispelled, and the fourth brother said that an elite of more than 10,000 people was secretly stationed outside the city, maybe this elite was not far from here, so those guards would come so quickly. Thinking of this, he replied to Xue Qian with a pun: "Maybe it's lonely and worried."
"Prince, did you say that the guards around the fourth prince were selected from the elite of the princess army, otherwise why are they all wearing light armor." Xue Qian seemed to think of something and asked Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu shook his head slightly, not wanting to say anything more on this topic. At this time, the strength in Zhao Wuming's hand is one point greater, and the chances of his side are one point greater. So at this time, I can't let myself think too much, and I can't think too much.
Xue Qian saw that Zhao Yu was silent and didn't ask much, and the footsteps interrupted the silence here, and Zhao Jia walked over and looked around: "Why didn't you see the fourth son."
"What are you looking for the fourth brother?" Zhao Yu listened to Zhao Jia's inquiry, and his heart suddenly became firm, the 10,000 soldiers and horses that Zhao Wuming said must have come from the Gong family. Since the 10,000 soldiers and horses came to the Gong clan, then among the 300,000 Gong army that Handan and Wei were fighting against. How did my father find out which soldiers and horses were promised to the fourth brother by the Gong clan? . This explanation can also be explained, it must be that the fourth brother and the older generation of the Gong clan have negotiated, and those people gave him an army of 10,000 people in order to repay the favor. Thinking of this, the doubts in his heart disappeared, and he felt a sense of guilt for Zhao Wuming. Make up your mind that you can't have doubts about the treatment of the fourth brother in the future.
Zhao Jia heard the inquiry and showed a smile: "I have always heard my grandfather say that the fourth son hunts tigers and kills bears, and since he is trying to hunt today, he naturally wants to take a look."
"I want to see it, it's simple." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he shouted to Zhao Yong not far away: "Yong'er, you and Zimo bring the tiger cub together."
"Here it is". Zhao Yong agreed casually and looked at Xue Zimo: "Let's report these two little tigers over."
"Yes". Xue Zimo nodded, and happily walked in the direction of Zhao Yu with Zhao Yong holding a tiger cub.
Zhao Jia looked at the two tiger cubs and was slightly stunned: "This, where did the tiger cubs come from."
"My uncle gave it, how can you look good?". Zhao Yong is like getting a beloved toy, and he can't wait to spread it all over the world.
Xue Zimo was not to be outdone: "This is given by the fourth son, and I and Wang Sun have one each."
"The tiger cub that the fourth prince gave you?". Zhao Jia was shocked, and his eyes looked everywhere as if he was looking for something: "What about the adult tiger?" If there is a tiger cub, he must have hunted the adult tiger."
"Uncle ordered his guards to bring the tiger's body back to the house." Zhao Yong saw Zhao Jia's shocked appearance and hurriedly explained to him.
Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Yong in disbelief: "What did you say?" The fourth prince returned to the house like the corpse of the tiger? This safari is based on the game to determine the ranking. Could it be that the fourth prince carried the body of the tiger back to the mansion because he didn't want to compete with us for these rankings."
"Uncle said that these two tigers were not his work alone, so he couldn't use those two tigers to participate in the ranking." Zhao Yong thought of the words that Zhao Wuming said when he left, and relayed Zhao Jia.
Two-headed tigers? Zhao Jia suddenly felt that he couldn't react, and his brain fell into a blank for a while: "You said that the fourth prince hunted two tigers?"
Because Zhao Jia was too excited, his voice was a little too loud. The crowd who was still talking about it was silent for a moment. After a while, he reacted, looked at Zhao Jia with his eyes, and the sound of discussion rose sharply
"Two tigers?".
"The fourth prince hunted two tigers again? How is this possible".
"Again? How do you call it? “。
"Last year, the four sons of the safari hunted two tigers and a giant bear, and this time they can still hunt tigers, which is really unbelievable."
"Hey, I thought I was competing for the first place this time, but I didn't expect the fourth son to be so fierce."
"If there are still four sons on safari in the future, I won't fight, and I'm willing to bow down."
"No, what about the corpse of the tiger? Where is the body of the tiger".
As soon as this statement came out, everyone reacted, and their eyes searched everywhere. I didn't see the corpse of the tiger for a long time, and I didn't even see Zhao Wuming's figure.
"Scare me? Where are the tigers here".
"Don't talk about the tiger, I didn't even see the figure of the fourth son."
"Why didn't you see the figure of the fourth son."
"Why did you say it again".
"Didn't the fourth prince say goodbye without saying goodbye?"
"Last time, it was okay, at least I saw the corpse of the tiger and the corpse of the giant bear, but this time I didn't see a shadow."
At this moment, the two tiger cubs inadvertently walked under the firelight, and everyone was shocked.
"Tigercub, where did the tiger cub come from?".
"How can there be two ends?".
"Isn't tiger cub hard to get?".
"Who the hell is there here".
As the exclamations and inquiries spread, everyone's eyes brushed over to the two tiger cubs, trying to understand what was going on.
The sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, and Zhao Wuming galloped over with Sun Buer and more than 400 guards on war horses.
When everyone heard the voice, they hurriedly looked over and saw that it was Zhao Wuming who all bowed and saluted: "I've seen the fourth prince later."
"I'm really sorry for making you wait for a long time." After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he threw down a deer on horseback: "Wait for a bonfire to be lit and barbecue venison, even if it is a little bit of the son's heart."
"The deer of the fourth son is not enough for everyone." Zhao Jia walked towards Zhao Wuming and joked with a smile when he saw the deer.
Zhao Wuming took Sun Buer and more than 400 guards to turn over and dismount: "Are you sure it's not enough?"
"Could it be that the fourth prince has more prey?" Zhao Jia seemed to hear the meaning of the words, and asked Zhao Wuming rhetorically.
Everyone's eyes brushed towards the road, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and start talking.
"It's also a good idea to start a campfire in the evening to grill your prey."
"It's just that this one deer is too few."
"It's okay, let's take out all the prey I have caught today, and let everyone enjoy it together."
"How can you let the elder brother specialize in beauty, although the younger brother is not talented, he is willing to take it out and share it with the general."
Zhao Wuming watched as these people all showed their actions of sharing prey, and a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth. Looking around, everyone was silent, and seeing that the place was quiet, Zhao Wuming turned to look at the more than four hundred guards behind him: "All of them are brought up."
"No". More than 400 guards responded with a bang, and wild animals were carried up one by one, pheasants, wild sheep, wild boars, hares, deer, and all kinds of birds, and there were hundreds of them.
Zhao Wuming looked around at everyone again, saw Zhao Yu and Xue Qian coming over, and asked them, "Everyone, these wild things are enough."
"Enough is enough, but it always feels like something is missing." Zhao Jia woke up from his stunned eyes, and saw that everyone present did not react, and asked Zhao Wuming subconsciously.
Zhao Wuming didn't answer, and looked at the guards behind: "Bring those two big guys up."
"No". Several guards carried two giant bears that had been dead for a long time.
Everyone was in an uproar, and Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, why did you shoot so many prey in such a short time."
After separating from the eldest brother and Xue Duwei, the younger brother played a small trick. Let the guards separate and go on a safari, which is why they have hunted so much prey in a short period of time." Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu heard Zhao Wuming's explanation, showed a worried look, and admonished him: "Fourth brother's move is too dangerous, I hope you will think twice about everything in the future."
"The words of the eldest brother and the younger brother should be kept in mind". After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, his eyes turned to everyone: "I don't know if these prey are enough."
"Enough, enough......". The crowd answered.
Zhao Wuming continued to propose to them: "Since it is enough, this son proposes." This safari is not ranked, each other takes out their prey, and sets up a bonfire to share with everyone. The guards have also contributed to the safari here, and we can celebrate together."
"Obey the orders of the son". The crowd bowed down to receive the order, and then the prey was taken out. Bonfires were lit everywhere, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
