Beilin City, the City Lord's Mansion, Huatangzhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Yu is dressed in a purple crown, wearing a crane, and his feet are on cloud boots, sitting on the main seat of the main hall.

Nakajo Tuo, dressed in a dark mink winter coat and holding a purple bamboo slip in his hand, was reporting on the winter hunting performance of the lords of the Northern Forest City.

"After the heavy snowfall, it has been four days now, and it is believed that more than ten lords have successfully hunted strange beasts, eight of which are lord lords, and the hunted are all low-level beasts of the ninth grade, so you don't need to pay attention.

The remaining two families are the Ye family and the Fei family, each of whom hunted an eight-rank exotic beast, but the eight-rank lower-rank bear hunted by the soldiers led by Dr. Ye's retainer Yang Hu was seriously damaged in the battle, and I am afraid that he would have to hunt again, but the Fei family hunted an eight-rank upper-rank green rhino. ”

"It's been four days after the snow, and the Jiashi in the family hasn't caught any of them, but Fei Zhong's retainers have already hunted an eight-rank beast!" Cheng Yu interrupted, and asked Zhongcheng Tuo with a calm face, "Did the Fei clan really hunt the eighth-rank lower-rank green rhino?" ”

Although the bear and the green rhino are both eight-rank lower-level beasts, the green rhino is huge, three zhang long, and has always been the most favorite armor raw material for the elite of the three divisions of Xing Guo's left, middle and right.

Zhongcheng Tuo said: "The lord is clear, this matter is what I have seen with my own eyes, as far as I know, the eight-grade green rhinoceros is in excellent condition, and the soldiers of the Fei clan all claim that it was hunted by Fei Hua, the superior soldier of the Fei clan, and the Fei clan is still not satisfied, and also declares in the city that anyone who can find any trace of the seven-grade beast will have a heavy reward!" ”

"Hmph, Fei Zhong has a heart!"

Cheng Yu said with a cold face, "Under the doctor's house, it is enough to hunt and sacrifice an eight-grade beast in winter, and now he has hunted an eight-grade green rhinoceros and is not satisfied, so he wants to enter the sacrifice of a seven-grade beast?" This is to crush my Cheng family! ”

Zhongcheng Tuo put away the purple bamboo slip and said loudly: "My lord, Fei Shi has always been ambitious, not just for one day. The minister knew that Fei Hua was at the root, and as a sixth-grade Shangjia soldier, he was promoted by elixir and spar, and it would be difficult to win in the face of seventh-grade beasts.

Now that Fei Dafu is leading the army to conquer the northern frontier, Fei has even claimed that he wants to hunt seven kinds of strange beasts, I am afraid that Fei has a lot of background, and there are very likely other masters besides Fei Hua. ”

Cheng Tong said with a cold face: "After all, the Fei family is also a century-old doctor's family, and Fei Zhong is a scheming person, so he must have a hidden future, and the Fei family and the Qi family are distant relatives, and it is also possible to spend money to hire a few masters to temporarily assist in hunting!" ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Tong instructed: "The three doctors in Beilin City, the Ye family has a shallow foundation, and there is only one seventh-grade subordinate soldier in Yanghu, so it is not a matter of concern.

But the Fei clan has always coveted the position of the city lord, and the whereabouts of the seven-grade beast must not be known by him alone, Tuo, you always pay attention to this matter, and you must let my Cheng clan take the lead in this year's winter hunting! ”

"Whoa!"

Takushi Nakashiro agreed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Cheng Yu stopped again, thought for a while, and asked, "How is the Qing clan hunting now?" ”

Nakashiro Tuo's face was slightly embarrassed, and finally said: "Lord, the Qing clan doesn't know why, it has been four days since the heavy snowfall, and he hasn't walked out of the Qing clan's fiefdom, and he is close to the lord of the Ji clan, and now he has hunted hundreds of bison, sheep, and deer. ”

"Alas, after all, I don't know the weight of winter hunting when I am young, and winter hunting is an important way for the king to evaluate the lord of the lord. Maybe you have time to remind him as soon as possible, which can be regarded as repaying him for the little things he did some time ago! ”

Cheng Tong couldn't help but shake his head, it seemed that the head of the Qing family was still too young, and he obviously thought too highly of him before.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about Qingyang's affairs, he has been busy lately.

The heavy snow came suddenly, and the baggage transportation from Beilin City to the northern Xinjiang was forced to stop for four days, and Yun Shuyu, who was preparing for a decisive battle with Xianyu's army on the front line, kept urging three waves of messengers a day.

However, the road for 2,000 miles was covered with heavy snow, and even if there were three feet of snow at the thinnest point, the closer it was to the northern frontier, the thicker the snow became, and the thickest part was four or five feet deep, and it was impossible to drive at all.

Fortunately, some time ago, Cheng Yu used a large number of ox carts to transport a lot of materials and grain to the north, so that Yun Shuyu had more reserves for nearly a month, otherwise he would definitely be urged to death by Yun Shuyu's messenger now, which is also one of the reasons why Cheng Tong didn't care about Su Kuo's affairs and was grateful to Qingyang.

Although Mrs. Cheng Yu is Yun Shuyu's cousin and the niece of the previous Yun family's Shangqing, but military affairs are by no means something that can be fooled by relatives, and today Yun Shuyu's tone is becoming more and more severe, and today he is even more forced to deliver a batch of military rations to the border city within ten days.

······

Except for Cheng Yu who was observing the other feudal lords, especially the winter hunting of the Ye clan and the Fei clan, almost all the other lords were paying attention to their competitors.

In Ye's Xicheng, Yang Hu looked ashamed, but Ye Mengqiu was full of helplessness, and she said in a crisp voice: "Uncle Yang Hu, you are strong in martial arts, but you can't cut the bear to the ground, how can this be a dedication to the king?" ”

Yang Hu was speechless, he was a seventh-rank lower armor warrior, and he had a slight upper hand over the ordinary beasts of the eighth-rank lower rank.

In particular, the bear is strong and thick and difficult to deal with, and it can't control its strength in the face of life and death fighting, and finally it is not the same as cutting down a prey, this bear is not so much hacked to death, but rather to be killed by pain or bleeding.

Yang Hu blamed himself: "Miss, I can't help it, after all, the eight-rank beast is not weaker than the seventh-grade lower armor, once the excitement of killing is excited, I can't control the sword in my hand at all!" ”

Ye Mengqiu was helpless, pondered for a long time, she reached out and took out a leaf, or a piece of green jade that was crystal like a leaf, and there was a dense inscription engraved on it, showing that this was a precious talisman.

She said solemnly: "Uncle Yanghu, you must take this talisman well, next time you encounter an evenly matched beast, this talisman can help you delay the opponent's five breaths, but once the strength exceeds the seventh grade, it cannot be effectively used!" ”

Yang Hu was overjoyed, took the green jade-like leaf talisman, put it away and solemnly promised: "Miss, if you can't hunt satisfactory prey this time, I will apologize for my guilt!" ”

Ye Mengqiu was speechless: "Why should Uncle Yanghu be like this!" By the way, has the Qing clan started winter hunting? ”

"That kid has been ignoring the eldest lady for so long, and I'm angry just thinking about it! Could it be that if he was told that someone in Beilin City was making trouble for him, he would be afraid that he would not come? ”

Yang Hu muttered in his mouth, and when he saw that Ye Mengqiu's face was not good, he immediately said in a soft tone, "Okay, I know that the eldest lady cherishes this kid's life, but he doesn't know why he hasn't started winter hunting for a few days!" ”

"It's not winter hunting yet?" Ye Mengqiu couldn't help frowning.

······

Fei's East City.

A huge green rhino fell in the courtyard, and Fei Hua, the sixth-rank Shangjia Shi, respectfully faced an eighteen-year-old young man, this was Fei Boxiang, the eldest son of Doctor Fei.

Fei Boxiang held a letter in his hand, frowned, and said: "Father wrote a letter asking us to exterminate the Qing clan within a month, I thought that winter hunting was a good opportunity to do it, why hasn't the Qing clan hunted yet?" Could it be that Jidan blocked the way out of the Qing family? ”

Fei Hua, who had a bearded face, was worried in his heart, on the surface, Fei Boxiang was presiding over this matter, but whether it was Dr. Fei's letter or actual operation, he was presiding over the task of destroying the Qing family.

Hurriedly spoke: "The prince atoned for his sins, the Ji brothers did not complete the lord's entrustment before, and after being severely reprimanded by the minister, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Ji Sheng wrote today that the Qing clan has not yet hunted for some reason, but he has already made arrangements, and the Red Ghost Department is angry that the Qing clan has killed its people, and as long as he provides a thousand stone corn, he can destroy the Qing clan's fiefdom within ten days! ”

Fei Boxiang nodded slightly after hearing this, and said with satisfaction: "It turned out that the Red Ghost Department made a move, it was a vassal of the Ghost and Witch Department, there were nearly two thousand wild people, five or six hundred strong, there were three intermediate totem warriors alone, and the Qing clan who destroyed more than 100 people couldn't help it!" ”
