Chapter 898: Arrogant Rumors on the Hunting Ground
Guo Ye regained his grip on the reins and sat down on his horse, glared fiercely at Chai Hehe, who was a little frightened and a little out of shape, and reprimanded: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that the emperor and Concubine Yang were here?" ”
That's right, it was His Majesty Li Er and the mother concubine of Li Ke, the king of Shu, Concubine Yang, who was born as a former Sui princess, who came to the hunting ground.
Guo Ye was really shocked by these two heavyweight guests, but he didn't expect a small competition to alarm these two.
Under the scolding, Chai Hehe pouted and felt a little more aggrieved on his face, and muttered: "It wasn't invited by others, it was invited by His Royal Highness the King of Shu himself." ”
Li Ke, the king of Shu, invited His Majesty Li Er and Concubine Yang to come to the hunting ground to watch the battle?
Li Ke invited Concubine Yang to come over to cheer, Guo Ye could understand, but even His Majesty Li Er was alarmed, and he also invited him to come over to watch the battle, which is intriguing. Could it be that this kid feels that he has won and wants to show his face in front of the emperor and pick up His Majesty Li Er's favor and appreciation for him again?
Strange!
Guo Ye's brain was a little unturned, because he knew this kid's riding and archery skills, and he was a level player with himself at all.
Could it be that Li Ke's brain is funny? Let his father, His Majesty Li Er, come over to see his ugly state of losing under his own hands? Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation and ruining his own image in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er? This kid doesn't think he's tragic enough?
Obviously, Guo Ye knows that although Li Ke is a kid who is eager for quick success, he hasn't made two mistakes to this extent.
For a moment, Guo Ye was stunned and couldn't figure out the joints.
Later, Chai Hehe saw that his brother-in-law was stunned and did not move forward, so he hurriedly urged a few times, Guo Ye shook his head, time was pressing, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to.
"He He, sit tight!"
Guo Ye shook the reins suddenly, shouted loudly, and the mount under his crotch galloped forward, and a flat mountain road went straight towards the hunting ground.
Slowly approaching the hunting ground, Guo Ye sat on the horse and could see the dragon flag fluttering from a distance, and the flag was flying, which was very spectacular. Riding his horse closer, he saw the Foresters with white feathers in their helmets, guarding the hunting grounds around them.
At the gate of the fence of the hunting ground, Guo Ye also saw the bright yellow cover on the top of the step, there were many eunuchs resting around, His Majesty Li Er really came, and only he was qualified to ride this dragon in this world.
There are many people in the Imperial Forest Army who know Guo Ye, and the captain of the Royal Forest Military Academy who guards the gate of the hunting ground knows Chai Hehe, and everyone sees the two riding together, although the face is strange, but they still let it in generously, and led Guo Ye and Chai Hehe to ride a horse to a hillside with green grass in the hunting ground.
I saw that the hillside was slightly sloping, and along the slope there were already craftsmen who had already set up a huge tent, and the tent was surrounded by a circle of wooden stakes, and a towering flagpole was erected outside the tent, and the golden dragon flag on the flagpole fluttered in the wind, and the hunting sounded.
Guo Ye and Chai Hehe got off their horses, and under the leadership of the Imperial Forest Army, they entered the tent surrounded by wooden stakes, and after a sound, His Majesty Li Er's familiar voice came out: "Haha, it's long overdue, I actually let me wait." It seems that your aunt of Huo Guo's Mansion has quite a big shelf, haha...... Guo Qing, fast forward, fast forward, just waiting for you. ”
The laughter was hearty and cheerful, Guo Ye secretly pondered, it seems that His Majesty Li Er is in a good mood today, and he obviously forgot the unhappiness of meddling with himself in the palace a few days ago.
It's good to forget, Lao Tzu was still scared just now.
Immediately, Guo Ye opened the curtain and brought Chai Hehe into the tent, and respectfully greeted His Majesty Li Er.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet His Majesty Li Er, he peeked into the tent, good guy, the huge tent was overcrowded.
The first seat in the center is naturally His Majesty Li Er, and to his right sits a young woman in a palace dress in a phoenix robe, with fair skin and full of charm between the waves of her eyes, no need to guess, this woman must be Li Ke's mother concubine - Concubine Yang.
As for the two sides of the tent, on the left sat his father-in-law Chai Shao, and his brother-in-law Chai Lingwen and his wife Chai Xiuxiu were also looking at him with a smile and affection.
On the right, the first person is Princess Wencheng, who is dressed in a palace skirt, graceful and dignified, followed by Li Ke, the king of Shu who is a young man in armor and a heroic warrior.
Under Li Ke, the king of Shu, is a delicate Fang Yizhi, this guy is Fang Yi's beloved brother, Fang Xuanling's eldest son, but how do you look like an embroidered pillow, wearing armor, it is a Xiucai brother carrying a pig-killing knife, nondescript.
As for the two young people below who are about the same age as themselves, they all have a tiger-like appearance, looking at themselves with a bit of viciousness, it is obvious that Helan Chushi and Hou Yutong are full of hostility towards themselves.
After looking at these people, His Majesty Li Er also waved his hand at Guo Ye and said: "Guo Qing doesn't need to be polite, I didn't come to talk about state affairs today, it was purely out of interest, and I was pulled by Ke'er to be a notary public for you this time, haha." ”
Guo Yegang wanted to say something, but his father-in-law Chai Shao was one step ahead of him, Huo Ran got up and said: "The emperor can condescend to his dignity and choose a son-in-law to be a notary public for this competition of the little daughter, it is really the glory of the Chai Mansion." ”
This compliment naturally caused His Majesty Li Er to laugh out loud.
Guo Ye secretly depreciated, my father-in-law is usually lukewarm and calm, lying on the, and he is really unwilling to be a queen.
At this time, a palace man outside the tent lifted the curtain and entered, saying that the time had come and it was time to compete.
Immediately, His Majesty Li Er took the lead in standing up and saying hello, then came down to the stage and walked out of the tent, and then, everyone on the left and right sides stood up one after another, and walked out of the tent with His Majesty Li Er.
When they came to the outside of the tent, Li Ke, Helan Chushi and others took the horses from the hands of their subordinates, rechecked the arrows in the quiver, tightened the longbow on their backs, and turned over on the horses, which immediately attracted a burst of horses' chirping and roaring hooves.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, with silver armor and bright armor, got on the horse;
Helan Chushi, dressed in black, got on the horse;
Hou Yutong, prepare the bow and arrows, and get on the horse;
The room is straight, swaying and cautious, and getting on the horse.
Guo Ye naturally flicked the bowstring a few times, tidied up the white robe on his body, and got up and down.
Five people and five horsemen grabbed the reins one after another, aimed their horses' heads at His Majesty Li Er, and waited for His Majesty Li Er's order to whip away.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the five people sitting on the horses, including his sons and his courtiers, all of whom looked heroic, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and secretly appreciated it.
In a trance, he seemed to see the scene when he and his eldest brother Li Jiancheng and his fourth brother Li Yuanji were riding horses and pastures together, holding bows and arrows, chasing me, and brothers, friends and brothers working together to round up and hunt.
I couldn't help but feel a little moist at the corners of my eyes.
The past is unbearable, and it has been a hundred years since I looked back.
He adjusted his mood slightly, waved his hand proudly, and shouted, "I wish you a triumphant hunt and a full return. You have to remember that the hunting ground is like a battlefield, and today the four of you can only return from hunting some more prey than Guo Ye to hold the beauty. ”
Helan Chushi took the lead in clasping his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, Helan Chushi is behind the door, and he will be able to rush first and return victorious." ”
His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Okay, Jiangmen Huzi, I am optimistic about you." ”
Chai Hehe hid in the crowd and snorted softly, full of disdain.
But Guo Ye is secretly funny, this kid is quite fond of showing and beating.
Hou Yutong was unwilling, and he also hugged his fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, today's hunting ground, tomorrow's battlefield, the Hou family will always be for the Tang Emperor to go on an expedition of thousands of miles and open up territory." ”
His Majesty Li Er praised again.
Fang Yi sat straight on the horse, tightened the reins and clamped his legs, for fear of falling, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, Fang... Fang Yi will definitely try to shoot as much prey as possible. ”
day, the lack of confidence immediately attracted the applause of the royal forest army next to him.
His Majesty Li Er also shook his head with a smile, and sighed secretly in his heart, the Fang family is a scholarly family, and it really can't be a strong general.
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er found that Li Ke, the king of Shu, did not speak, and couldn't help but ask, "Ke'er, what don't you want to say?" ”
Li Ke smiled kindly: "Father, competition first, friendship second, although the son attaches great importance to this hunting competition, but cherishes the opportunity to fight side by side with your colleagues this time." Erchen believes that he will learn a lot through this hunting competition. ”
"Okay, good," His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but stroke his hands and praise, "Ke'er, you have grown up and become a general, and my father is very pleased." ”
Even Guo Ye glanced at Li Ke in surprise when he heard Li Ke's answer, these words could actually come out of Li Ke's mouth, and he was really impressed when he hadn't seen him for three days.
Obviously, among the four players present, Li Ke's answer was the most satisfactory to His Majesty Li Er.
Just when Guo Ye was surprised, His Majesty Li Er suddenly explained to Guo Ye: "Guo Qing, the four of them have never been on the battlefield and have no actual combat experience, but I hope that you must do your best, and don't let them get away with it." Got it? ”
Guo Ye nodded and obeyed, and secretly said in his heart, I won't release the water, no matter who wins the release of the water, my sister-in-law will jump into the fire pit.
Then, he set his eyes on Chai Xiuxiu's side, and when he looked at each other, he found that Chai Hehe, who was hiding behind Chai Xiuxiu and Chai Shao, actually held his small fist and waved at him, as if to say, brother-in-law, come on, don't bury the happiness of the second half of your life.
At this time, a eunuch whispered a few words in front of His Majesty Li Er, it should be that the time has come and you can set off.
Sure enough, I saw His Majesty Li Er wave his hand and shout: "Warriors, let's go, use your own strength, with the bows and arrows in your hands, to hunt wild animals and hold the beauty, I am here in the tent, waiting for your triumphant return." ”
As soon as the words fell, the five people immediately clasped their hands and fists in unison to claim yes, and then quickly turned the horse's head, scrambled to raise the horsewhip in their hands and whipped the horse's buttocks, urging the horse to go.
"Driving ......"
"Driving ......"
Five men and five horses, whipped their hooves, galloped all the way, and under the cover of the thick dust splashed, they swept away.
