After burying the corpse, Liu Wei and the others were still wandering around the mountains and forests, but their goal had shifted from hunting to finding clues about the corpse.

"Your Highness, look!" Just when Liu Wei was leading everyone to find clues, Wang Zhen suddenly shouted.

Hearing Wang Zhen's shout, Liu Wei ran towards her quickly.

Wang Zhen, who was squatting on the ground, pointed to a row of fine small footprints, looked up at Liu Wei and said to him: "Your Highness, look at these. ”

Looking down at those footprints, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "Jackal? ”

"Hmm!" Wang Zhen nodded, looked at Liu Wei who was standing behind him and said, "There are jackals in the mountains, I'm afraid the origin of the corpse is even more difficult to say." ”

"yes!" Nodding, Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen and the guards who followed him: "When I found the corpse, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, if it was a jackal......

"Jackals are not picky eaters." Liu Wei only said half of his words before he stopped talking, and Wang Zhen hurriedly continued: "If it was really a jackal, that corpse might have been dragged under the tree by the jackal, and it just so happened that I arrived and they didn't have time to eat it yet." ”

"Go back and see!" Looking at the row of small footprints, Liu Wei beckoned to Wang Zhen and the others, turned around and ran back towards the place where the body was buried.

Back at the place where the body was buried, Liu Wei, Wang Zhen and others were all stunned.

The corpse that had just been buried was gone, and the dirt mixed with the snowflakes had been turned aside, and the ground was littered with small footprints and a long drag mark.

"Let's go!" Seeing this scene, Liu Wei beckoned to everyone again, and led everyone to chase forward along the trails.

Following the trails, chasing for two or three miles in the snow, Liu Wei stopped, squatted on the ground and raised an arm to stop everyone from moving forward.

Squatting down behind Liu Wei, everyone looked forward and saw dozens of jackals eating corpses.

But the jackals didn't eat just one corpse, they ate four!

Seeing this scene, Liu Wei turned his head and looked at each other with Wang Zhen, who was stunned.

It was not just one person who came to Luoyang, but four or more people.

Jackals are different from tigers and leopards, tigers and leopards generally like to prey and bite the prey to death, while jackals are not picky eaters, as long as it is meat, they will eat, even some rotten meat, the stomach of the jackal will never refuse.

"Do you want to disperse the jackals?" Looking at the group of jackals in front of him who were gnawing on the corpses, Wang Zhen whispered a question to Liu.

Liu Wei shook his head, his brows were tightly twisted, he waved his hand to everyone and lowered his voice to greet, "Go!" ”

After Liu Wei's order, everyone hurriedly stepped back lightly.

It's not that Liu Wei is reluctant to bury those corpses, if there were fewer jackals, perhaps he would have ordered the corpses to be taken from their mouths and buried.

But there are too many jackals!

This kind of beast that lives in groups and hunts is quite strong in combat when it is in a group.

Although he was followed by Wang Zhen and nearly twenty guards, it was categorically not cost-effective to fight a group of jackals for a few corpses.

When fighting wild beasts, there is a great chance of injury, and it is not a good deal to be accidentally bitten or killed by a jackal during the fight.

It would be better to simply throw the four corpses to the jackals, who will have enough to eat and less to mess with the living.

The jackals that were gnawing on the corpses had actually discovered Liu Wei and the others, and several jackals had already put on an attack posture.

It wasn't until Liu Wei and the others retreated that the jackals returned to the corpse and gnawed on the remaining meat of their companions.

"Return to Luoyang and let the government investigate the origin of these people!" Away from the group of jackals, Liu Wei gave an order to Wang Zhen, who was following behind.

"No!" While following Liu Wei forward in the snow, Wang Zhen responded with a fist, and then asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness, should I return to Luoyang or ......?" ”

"Hunting, of course hunting!" Turning his head to look at Wang Zhen, Liu Wei grinned and said to her: "This king is hunting in winter, how can he return empty-handed?" ”

didn't expect Liu Wei to be interested in hunting, Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then echoed.

The reason why he continued to hunt was because Liu Wei knew that several corpses dragged away by jackals were found, and Wang Zhen and the guards were already in a very bad mood.

Although they had all killed people on the battlefield, killing people and watching people being eaten by wild beasts were not the same thing at all.

Liu Wei was still interested in hunting, and Wang Zhen and others had to accompany him.

It wasn't until it was dark that the crowd carried their prey down the mountain.

After a hunt, Wang Zhen and the others were really in a much better mood than when they first saw the corpse being eaten by jackals.

When they went down the mountain, the guards were still talking to each other, and from time to time someone would come up with a sentence or two praising Liu's accurate archery skills.

Although Liu Wei knew that the guards were patting him on the back, the words of praise still felt very useful when he listened to it.

led the guards down the mountain, and joined Wang Liu and others who were looking after the horses at the bottom of the mountain, and Liu Wei led everyone to get on the war horses and run all the way towards Luoyang City.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Luoyang City, Liu Wei suddenly reined in his horse.

Everyone who followed him didn't expect him to suddenly stop the warhorse, and they all stopped the horse, and they all looked at him intently.

"You wait until you get back to the city and find some tents." Looking at Luoyang City, which was already close at hand, Liu Wei instructed a few guards behind him: "Bring more covers, and I will roast meat and sleep in this field tonight." ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Liu Wei's words fell, and Wang Liu reminded him: "It's freezing right now, stay in the wilderness......

"Ugh!" After being reminded by Wang Liuyi, Liu Wei remembered that her body was not very good, so he said to her: "General Wang Liu still returns to Luoyang at night and rests in the city." ”

"The last general is not ......" Knowing that Liu Wei remembered that her health was not good, Wang Liu hurriedly said: "The last general just feels that it is not suitable for His Highness to stay in the snow. ”

"It's been a long time since I've gone on an expedition, and this king also misses the days of the expedition!" Smiling at Wang Liu, Liu Wei waved his hand and said to her: "Needless to say, General Wang Liu will return to the city tonight, and the others will camp here with this king!" ”

"The last will not go!" To Liu Wei's surprise, he asked Wang Liu to return to the city to rest, but Wang Liu stubbornly shook his head and said to him: "Your Highness is camped outside the city, and the last general will accompany Your Highness outside the city." ”

didn't expect Wang Liu to be so stubborn, Liu Wei was stunned.

Normally, the generals did not dare to disobey Liu Wei's intentions, but Wang Liu and Wang Zhen had followed him for a long time, and they sometimes dared to put forward some different opinions in front of him.

Camping outside the city was originally a trivial matter, and Liu Wei was unwilling to force her to return to Luoyang, so he had to say to her: "This king will definitely not return to the city tonight, if you want to stay here, cover two more futons tonight, and don't freeze." ”

"No!" Knowing that he couldn't persuade Liu Wei, Wang Liu had no choice but to respond.

Turning over and jumping off the horse, Liu Wei said to the other guards: "Go find some firewood, peel the deer and rabbits we hunted today, and we will roast the meat immediately!" ”

Knowing that Liu Wei was going to take them to barbecue, the guards cheered in unison and jumped off their horses.

The guards of the palace were all selected soldiers from the Luoyang army, and they had heard that the barbecue grilled by Liu Wei was particularly delicious, but they had never tasted it in person.

If it weren't for the fact that the heavy snow had just stopped, and Liu Wei suddenly wanted to go out of the city to hunt on a whim, I am afraid that they would not have a chance to eat in their lives.

When they learned that Liu Wei was going to camp in the field and take them to barbecue, the guards were already inexplicably excited.

Now that Liu Wei asked them to pick up dead branches, peel deer skins, and rabbit skins, the guards knew that Liu Wei was going to show his hand in front of them, and where there would be a little delay, so they immediately got busy.

Two guards ran to the deer they had hunted and skinned them, and one of the guards lifted up the rabbits and skinned them one by one.

It wasn't easy to find dead branches in the snow, so more guards ran to find dead branches that could be burned.

After waiting in the snow for about two pillars of incense, the guards brought back a large pile of dead branches and lit a bonfire on the snow.

When the bonfire was lit, Liu Wei rolled up his sleeves and skewered a rabbit that had been stripped of the guards and scrubbed with snow with a relatively thick wooden stick, and handcuffed it on the campfire.

Although they had heard that Liu Bian's barbecued meat was very delicious in the past, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen sisters still didn't believe it, and seeing that he really started automatically, Wang Zhen asked in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness is a royal noble, how can you work in the countryside?" ”

"If the nobles' work had been used in marching and fighting, I am afraid that this king would have died no longer knowing how many times." Squatting in the snow, looking up at Wang Zhen and smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to her: "Do you know what this king has for the dragoons?" ”

After the Dragoons returned to Luoyang, their training was completely hidden, and no one knew what kind of training courses they had been exposed to all day.

Liu Wei suddenly asked such a thing, Wang Zhen first glanced back at Wang Liu, and when she saw Wang Liu shaking her head, she shook her head and said to Liu Wei: "The last general doesn't know." ”

"All dragoon guards must know how to barbecue meat, and they must know how to get food in the field." While roasting the rabbit, Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen: "Sometimes they even have to eat raw meat and sneak behind enemy lines to fight, and they don't always have the opportunity to roast meat!" ”

"Huh?" I heard that the dragoon guards sometimes even had to eat raw meat, not only Wang Zhen, but even Wang Liu and the guards on the side were all stunned.

Everyone was stunned, and Liu Wei didn't explain too much to them, just squatting in the snow and roasting the meat picked on the wooden stick.

It didn't take long for the roasted rabbit to burst out of its nose.
