The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars change, and more than three months have passed unconsciously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ying Ping and Princess Han Joo live a happy newlywed life in Changmingwon, just like the end of countless novels and plays: from then on, the prince and princess lived happily ever after.
Ying Ping is indeed very moisturized, and he sings with Princess Zhu every day, like glue. Read and practice in your spare time. After three months of precipitation, Yingping has a deeper understanding of the essence of Guiguzi. Three months ago, he was just forcibly infused with his knowledge by Guiguzi, just like a person who has eaten a stomach full of food, and now it is time to digest and absorb it. When you have nothing to do, you meditate cross-legged and carefully understand what is in your head. The more I experience it, the more I feel that Guiguzi is powerful, and it can only be described as "pedantic and unfathomable".
There are four main things that Ying Ping learned from Guiguzi. One is theology, which can divinate gossip, watch people's faces, and determine the life and death of good fortune. The second is the study of military science, marching formation, and endless changes. The three are eloquent, the export is a chapter, and the tongue is like a spring. Fourth, it is said that the skills are strong, the martial arts are strong, and there is the courage of ten thousand people. There are only 14 chapters in the book "Guiguzi" that has been circulated in later generations, and most of the essence has been lost, but what Ying Ping has learned is the complete book. Originally, Guiguzi also attached great importance to this technique. Because there must be weapons in literary affairs, the world of great controversy must first be physically strong, and then the spirit can be strong, if there is no power to restrain the chicken, there is no dragon slaying technique, and it may also be subject to one or two reckless men. In the six arts of Confucius, there are still "shooting" and "royal". It is the art of striking with skills, the major events of life, the place of death and life, which must not be overlooked.
Yingping is very diligent, meditates and practices every day, and realizes the essence of Guiguzi's knowledge. Especially in the technique of technical attack, he is even more attentive, practicing muscles and bones on the outside, and practicing a breath on the inside, and consciously making rapid progress. He knows very well that the technique is not only an oral teaching, but also a knife and a gun in actual combat, just like a TV series "Dragon Babu" he watched in his previous life, in which the heroine Wang Yuyan can identify the tricks of the world's martial arts, but it is not enough, and it is still not used on the spot. Before it was crossed, Yingping's martial arts foundation was ordinary and unremarkable. Under the teaching of the famous teachers in the palace, at the age of sixteen, he could not defeat the Qin army and even an ordinary soldier, his brother Fusu, who was only one year older than him, could already defeat five people, so the king of Qin preferred Fusu, and Fusu was also a natural prince in the eyes of everyone.
But the last time they were discussing in the Qinzheng Palace, the amazing performance of winning the flat still surprised the King of Qin and the ministers, they didn't know when, this second prince, who had never been thrown in the crowd and couldn't be found, actually talked at length, in comparison, which made them very embarrassed. So later, there were several more deliberations, and Ying Ping was also allowed to sit on the table and consult the national government. But it's just a matter of participation, trivial and detailed, specific implementation, all the ministers of their own ranks, regardless of winning and ping, and they are happy to be free.
Life is never peaceful, and on this day, news suddenly came out of the palace that the king was going to hunt in the northern suburbs in three days!
Autumn is high and cool, autumn is slaughtering, it is a good time to hunt, win Ping for a long time, and have long gone out to move and move. As for why hunting, what is the motive and meaning of hunting, the Ying Ping conjecture is probably similar to the military exercises of later generations, which are intended to deter the enemy and demonstrate the power of the king.
"Zhu'er, Zhu'er, in three days, I will go hunting in the northern suburbs with my father, and I will definitely come back with a lot of prey for you when the time comes." After all, Ying Ping is a young man, and as soon as he returned to Changming Courtyard, he said to Princess Zhu excitedly.
"That's good." Zhu'er seemed to have known the news, and she was not surprised at all, and her reaction was faint.
"Zhu'er, why don't you go with me, I'll protect you when you get there, and I want you to see me hunt a wolf for you!" Ying Ping's eyes sparkled. In those days, hunting was a man's business, and women were rarely taken with them. But Ying Ping saw that her response was not enthusiastic, so he invited her to go with her, hoping that she would be happier.
Zhu'er frowned slightly, as if she was thoughtful, and suddenly stared at Yingping, looked at it seriously, and said: Husband, the hunting ground is windy, and the beasts are fierce, I won't go. You'd better not go, stay home and play with me, okay?"
Ying Ping didn't expect Princess Zhu to be so disappointed, but she couldn't force it, so she muttered: "If Zhu'er doesn't go, don't go, I'm definitely going to go." After saying that, he went to sleep.
Princess Zhu turned her face away, sighed softly, and closed her beautiful eyes, but two lines of tears quietly slipped down her cheeks.
The hunting ground in the northern suburbs is the largest hunting ground around Xianyang City, the mountains here are high and dense, the vegetation is rich, there are many wild animals, since the Qin Mugong period was specially approved as the hunting ground of the royal family, for the children of the royal family to enjoy, at this time it is autumn, the grass is yellow and the horse is fat, the birds and beasts in the hunting ground are also in the autumn glance, it is a good time to hunt.
When I first arrived, I saw that there were already people outside the hunting ground, and the carriages and horses were noisy. King Yingzheng of Qin brought the children of the royal family, the military generals of Wenchen, and the three thousand royal forest troops, and came with great momentum. The 1,000 Imperial Forest Army, led by the King of Qin, entered the mountain from the south slope, and 1,000 on the east and west sides were outflanked from the two wings, leaving only the north side of the mountain unsurrounded. At that time, people had already understood the truth of fishing with all their might, and although it was hunting, it was not killing them all. Circumference on three sides, leaving one side, is not a rule when hunting.
King Qin walked at the front of the team, riding a Yinshan war horse under his crotch, wearing armor, carrying a long sword at his waist, and carrying dozens of golden feather arrows. Immediately behind him is the prince Fusu, this prince has just returned from Guanzhong, although he is dusty, but he can't hide his heroic nature, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, nose and mouth square, born calm and generous, and the instrument is lofty. Yingping is a horse's head slower than Fusu, and behind him are Li Si, Wang Qian, Meng Tian, Li Xin and others.
More than 3,000 people entered the mountain, and the movement was naturally not small, and there were already birds and beasts frightened away, but King Qin had not yet started to do it, and he did not dare to be the first person to eat crabs. Everyone was in a hurry, only to see an elk running out, and the speed was so fast that it crashed straight into the large group of people and horses in front of King Qin. Apparently the elk was frightened and couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south.
When King Qin saw it, he immediately laughed, took off the bow from his body, loaded it with golden feather arrows, the bow opened like a full moon, the arrows shot like meteors, and when an arrow was shot, the elk fell to the ground. When the three thousand royal forest soldiers saw that the king was so brave, they all shouted, "Long live the king of Qin, long live the great Qin." "King Qin has already made a good start, and everyone is not welcome. Everyone crossed the sea to show their magical powers, chasing and killing prey, and the entire hunting ground was full of people.
"Fusu, win Ping, there are many people here, I think the prey has already been scared away, and the two of you go to the depths of the mountains and forests with the widow to look for prey." King Qin was obviously in high spirits.
"Father, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the deep forest, it is too dangerous, it is better not to go." Fusu has a weight that his peers don't have.
"What poisonous insects and beasts are you afraid of, the Qin people are proud of their bravery, they are ashamed of their cowardice, and the widow has his own destiny, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." So saying, he had driven his horse forward.
Fusu is not good at persuading anything, and if he persuades again, he really seems to be timid, and he hurriedly rode his horse to keep up.
The three of them rushed forward, gradually breaking away from the main group. Talking and laughing all the way, just talking about the joy of family, suddenly, another elk came out of the woods, King Qin hurriedly took a bow and shot arrows, but he didn't expect this deer to be extremely flexible, flashing in the middle of the dense leaves, and he didn't shoot. The deer turned its head and ran into the depths of the jungle, and when the king of Qin saw it, he immediately aroused his competitive spirit, and chased after him. Seeing this, Fusu and Ying also chased after him.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, King Qin was about to shoot another arrow, when suddenly the woods in front of him sounded, and he saw more than ten masked people coming out of the dense woods. These masked people with long swords in black clothes, dressed up vigorously, saw Yingzheng, and immediately outflanked them. Without saying a word, raise your sword and stab!
Ying Zheng was shocked, and in an instant, the swords of three assassins were already one step away from the horse, and he didn't have time to think about it in a hurry, and the sword that was about to shoot at the elk was shot at the nearest assassin in front of him, but the assassin did not panic, and with a light flash, the arrow did not hit, and fell lightly into the woods.
Ying Zheng shot an arrow into the air, but the opponent's three long swords had already arrived in front of him, and when he couldn't dodge, he saw a long sword stretched out obliquely from the side, and with a slight jump, he picked the three assassins' swords away. It turned out that it was Fusu Yingping and the two of them, who had been following King Qin, and when they saw King Qin in distress, they hurried to help. The one who picked out the three assassin's swords just now was a draw. He has recently practiced Guiguzi's technique of attacking, and he feels that he has improved rapidly, not only with great strength, but also with faster on-the-spot response. With a random sword, he blocked the killing momentum of the three assassins, but he was also shocked.
The three of them gathered, and their morale was immediately boosted, but the assassin was obviously determined to win, and if he missed the blow, he launched a fierce attack, and more than ten long swords greeted Yingzheng in unison, because they knew that there were still 3,000 royal forest troops on this mountain, and if they did not fight quickly, they would definitely suffer endlessly.
Ying Zheng has always been self-respecting, and he has not been forced to this part, but at this moment, he only felt shocked and angry, and shouted: The rats are rampant! Leave and right, take the assassin with me! “
But at this moment, there are only two princes on the left and right, and the three thousand royal forest soldiers are busy hunting, and no one knows that such a big thing is happening in the depths of the woods.
The long swords of the assassins have formed a sword net, stabbing at the King of Qin from the top, middle and bottom, they don't seem to be interested in Fusu and Yingping, and they only hit Yingzheng as a killer, and they will want to get rid of them as soon as possible.
