Chapter 171: Xiangrui White Deer

The weeds around him were in turmoil, and I saw Liu Yao riding a horse out of the dense forest, holding a ring-headed knife and slashing at the back of the black bear, and the sharp blade slashed through the thick skin of the black bear, bringing up a piece of scarlet.

"Woohoo!"

The black bear roared angrily, finally let go of Wei Shuo, and turned around to chase the guy who sneaked up on his back, the bushes in the jungle hindered the speed of the horse's running, and Liu Yao was gradually shortened by the black bear behind him.

At this moment, only two arrows were heard, and two feathered arrows were shot from a distance, hitting the black bear's eyes impartially. The blind black bear scurried around like a headless fly, and the thick branches of the tree like a calf could not stop the impact of the black bear, and there were broken tree trunks everywhere.

Just out of danger, seeing the black bear blind, Liu Yao took the opportunity to turn around and slash at the black bear's neck, with the help of horsepower this knife deep into the flesh, the black bear screamed and the huge body fell to the ground, convulsed a few times and then remained silent.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that the black bear was completely dead that Liu Yao and Speedu came to Wei Shuo's side, and when they saw Wei Shuo's disheveled and embarrassed appearance, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Lord, are you okay?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's just a little bit of skin! We didn't expect our luck to meet such a big guy! ”

Wei Shuo was just a false alarm, and he didn't suffer any harm at all. After controlling the situation, he became excited again, pointing to the black bear lying on the ground and was very happy.

"The black bear was slain by two of them, but I only have a short sword on me, and I really don't know which one of you should give it."

As he spoke, Wei Shuo pulled out a dagger-like short sword from his waist and played with it in his hand, which was given to him by the master craftsman when he inspected the steelmaking workshop, which was not only extremely sharp but also decorated with inscriptions, which looked beautiful.

"Lord, it was Lord Liu who took the lead in attracting the black bear just now. Saved the lord from the bear's paws. I thought that Lord Liu should be the first merit, and this short sword should also be given to Lord Liu. ”

As soon as Speedu finished speaking, Liu Yao then expressed his reluctance to take the credit alone, believing that he was able to kill the black bear in the end thanks to Speedu's blindness.

Seeing that the two subordinates were unwilling to accept his reward, Wei Shuo was not annoyed, and only said softly: "Both of them are bright and upright. I don't want to take advantage of others, I think so. Even if the two of them tie this time, in a few more days, another batch of the same short swords will be crafted in the steelmaking workshop, and I will give each of you a copy at that time! ”

"Thank you, lord!"

……

The autumn is high and cool, the sun is shining, the whole hunting ground is waving flags, the war horses are neighing, and it is very lively. Most of the civil officials were not involved in the hunt. They just drank and chatted inside the station. At this moment, Wei Shuo returned to the station with the captured black bear, causing a burst of cheers from the onlookers.

"Lord, did you capture this?" Everyone was stunned when they saw the sturdy black bear.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuo waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, I don't have this ability, it's all the credit of Shomaru and Shocho." Thanks to the presence of the two of them today, otherwise it would have been dangerous. ”

Later, Wei Shuo told Pei Wei, Yu Shi Xiake, Yang Tan, Liu Zan and others about the distress. Anyway, I can't hide it. However, it frightened several subordinates, but fortunately, Wei Shuo was not in any danger. They didn't blame the guards much, but repeatedly told Wei Shuo not to take any more risks in the future.

It was at this time that the grand hunt came to its climax. Four teams, 1,200 warriors, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, galloped across the field on tall horses. Keep driving away the fleeing beasts. The light and brave cavalry galloped like lightning, and the excellent archers bent their bows and shot arrows, and the birds and beasts did not have time to escape, and they were hit by arrows one after another.

In a short time, the wagon for the detachment was filled with mountains of prey. Wei Shuo, who has never experienced this scene personally. It was a boiling of blood to watch, and the people around him cheered for the wonderful performance of the warriors.

For the subjects of Liaodong, this year's autumn hunt can be called the grandest celebration in Liaodong in recent years, and countless young men have picked up bows and arrows to join the hunt in order to show their bravery in front of Wei Shuo.

In the ensuing time, the entire hunting ground could be seen everywhere with freshly dressed angry horses and heroic Liaodong disciples galloping on the prancing horses, dancing with various swords, guns and short bows in their hands, chasing any visible prey.

Thanks to the blessing of God, during the entire hunting stage, it was clear and cloudless for two consecutive days, and the sky was like a piece of clear and flawless blue crystal, and a few floating clouds floated far away at the end of the field of vision, which made people feel comfortable.

The triumphant songs played by the military horn came and went, and each sound meant the harvest of a big game, especially the horn representing the cavalry division, which sounded the most often and lasted for the longest time. This almost heralded the final victory of the Cavalry Division, and it was only then that Shomaru, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he learned that Liaodong was going to hold an autumn hunting competition, Shomaru and the entire cavalry division were facing tremendous pressure. For the cavalry who is good at riding and archery, if they can't get the first place, it will be a failure for the entire cavalry division. Fortunately, the team that participated in this competition did not disappoint Speedu, and it can be seen from the previous performance that the Cavalry Division is far ahead of several other teams.

Several teams such as the Infantry Military Division and the Government Military Division were naturally unwilling to give up the first place, and they increased their hunting efforts, and for a time the entire hunting ground was full of animal screams......

With less and less time left, several other teams still showed no signs of catching up with the Cavalry Division. Wei Shuo had already expected this result, most of the cavalry divisions were soldiers from the Hu clan, and they were born to be good hunters. In this regard, the Mounted Division has a lot of advantages over the other teams.

"It seems that this one is none other than the Cavalry Division!"

Just when Wei Shuo and everyone thought that the final winner would be the cavalry division, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Wei Shuo frowned and looked into the distance.

As the sound of horses' hooves sounded, the black dots in the distance changed from small to large, and a group of riders was rapidly approaching from a distance. Many people couldn't help but turn their heads to see who had returned from the hunt first.

The knight who galloped with a big flag in his hand, came to Wei Shuo and turned over and dismounted, the knight with an excited face spoke a little unpleasantly, but what he said surprised the people present.

"Good omen, good omen! Report to the lord, the subordinates found a white elk in the deep mountains, and there was no trace of variegated white elk on the whole body! ”

"What! White elk! Liu Zan and Kong Su shouted in horror.

The white elk is a symbol of auspiciousness in ancient times, but now it appears in Liaodong without warning, in the eyes of most people, this indicates that the Liaodong power represented by Wei Shuo will be prosperous, and many people look at Wei Shuo with a look of awe.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Suddenly, the civil and military people of Liaodong led by Pei Wei knelt on the ground one after another, and their slogans shook the sky.

Wei Shuo is not an ancient person, and he does not believe in this so-called auspiciousness. He just regarded the white elk as an animal, far from having the same deep respect for it as the ancients.

He went up and picked everyone up, and then pointed to the white deer that was presented by the team of the infantry division, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the white deer may be a symbol of auspiciousness in the minds of you, but in the eyes of a certain person, it is just a pet. What kind of auspicious time is this? Yes? If it is said to be auspicious, it is better to regard several crops with high yields such as sweet potatoes and corn as auspicious! ”

In all fairness, Wei Shuo's words still touched the hearts of Pei Wei, Lu Chang and others, and a resourceful person like them naturally knew that the strength of a force was not obtained by various auspiciousness, but more by appeasing the people and training soldiers. They were both happy about the appearance of Bailu Xiangrui, but they were worried that Wei Shuo would be immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

And now Wei Shuo's words have completely dispelled the doubts in everyone's hearts, his own lord has not relaxed his requirements for himself because of obtaining the white deer, and only with such a lord can he be expected to remain in history and succeed. (To be continued.) )
