About 20 miles southwest of Quanshang City, is the Tuxilu South Garden Enclosure.

Today is a rare sunny and warm weather, Cheng Ye is wearing a light and soft leather armor inlaid with wrought iron, and he follows Ah Xiao and Xiao Yuyi on the left and right respectively, riding horses.

From afar, I saw the banner hunting in the hunting ground, and the gold-topped dakuro inlaid with sapphires on animal skins was not majestic.

He knew that this time, about the entire royal family of Tuxilu had arrived.

Before he reached the Golden Dome, he found that in addition to the fact that the Khan of Modo had not personally visited, the kings of Lamulun, Tiele, and Ule were all on the scene.

There are two men and two women in the big banner with colorful flags flying.

After being recommended by King Tiele, Cheng Ye knew that the beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and the charm was like a little charming, but it was the daughter of Lamulun and the current concubine of Moduo who also added it.

The bearded man with a strong physique and a proud expression was the only son of Lamulun and the son of the world.

The young man of Tulun, who has been following King Lamulun and has a humble demeanor, is the second son of Ebony Nanjiang, Ebony Fulei.

And dressed in a well-tailored riding suit, following King Tiele with low eyebrows and smooth eyes was his most favored concubine, Qu Yiren.

Cheng Ye took the time to bow his hands one by one, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, what a big show, today is really a big drama to be performed.

The sequelae of not sleeping all night is that his temples are beating suddenly at the moment, and the almost temperatureless sunlight in winter is also very dazzling, which makes him a little dizzy.

I received two bad news at the same time this morning.

First, Ah Xiao came back and said that when he rushed to the tent of Mama Liu's house in the west of the city, the righteous son had already died in the room. It was as if he had eaten too much wine and his head was not in the bucket, but he was drowned.

After that, when he gathered people and went to Bole Fang last night, there were people who went to the empty building, and there were only a few thieves who were looking for valuable objects in the house.

Xiao Yuyi also brought the news of Princess Yicheng's mansion, and Mama Liu committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the mansion.

Feng Sidao is indeed the handiwork of a first-class strategist.

Cheng Ye silently cheered himself up in his heart, and today he must persuade King Tiele to join forces with him, and success or failure will be in this move.

At noon, the soldier in charge of the guard of honor blew the birch bark horn, and a group of elk, roe deer, and even fat hares were surrounded and chased by the soldiers under the tent of King Tiele to a flat depression facing the king of the grass slope above the king's tent.

I only heard King Lamulun laugh loudly at Ebony Fulei and Chengye:

"The dog in the family loves to hunt very much, begging me to hunt deer with him, now it's okay, the three of you will try your skills and see who will kill the deer?"

Ebony Fulei was very respectful, and shook the leather bag in his hand:

"Xiao Wang has always been a lazy mediocre talent, since he was a child, he has loved the wine in his bag more than everything, this deer hunting, naturally it can't compare to the world."

Cheng Ye forced himself to laugh, and said with a meaning in his mouth:

"My Dachen has never been good at hunting, but only good at riding and archery - Ah Xiao, you let go of the hunt and show it to the old prince."

Ah Xiao and Xiao Yuyi sat on the back of the horse, solemnly arching their hands.

In the diplomatic relations between the two countries, deer hunting has a profound meaning.

The mission of their envoy this time is to rebuild the mutual market, not to declare the prestige of the country, not to mention that they are really here this time, they really have a request for others, and naturally they cannot show their edge.

How can you not compete with Tu Xilu and the Tulun royal family for deer hunting, so as not to fall into the prestige of Dachen? This is the harder thing to do.

He also whistled proudly, and swooped down to the depression where the beasts were.

"He likes to hunt deer, doesn't he want to rebel?"

Ah Xiaoleng snorted and whispered beside Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye stiffened his hand and slowed down his horse, looking around alertly, judging the most likely place to have a secret conversation with King Tieler.

At this time, the weather is at its warmest during the day, and the soil under the feet is covered with light yellow pine needles and deep red leaves.

On the dry trunks, the overnight hoarfrost was evaporated by the sunlight and a faint mist, and there were still scattered leaves sparsely dotted on the branches.

When you get closer, you can see crystal round water droplets hanging from the tips of the leaves, mixed with the smell of wet rotting earth, and cool towards the tip of your nose.

"Young Master, look!"

Ah Xiao's voice was excited, pointing to a lump of blue-black mud next to the tree trunk, and added with a smile:

"It's a grizzly bear!"

Ah Xiao grew up in northern Xinjiang since he was a child, and often followed the village hunters to hunt in the mountains in winter, so he was also quite familiar with the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

After a year of growth, the beast is fat and strong in winter, and it is a good time to hunt and often come out to forage for food before the heavy snow comes.

Cheng Ye's heart moved, he couldn't hunt deer, but he could show his skills by hunting a big beast, so as not to lose Dachen's face.

Ah Xiao pointed forward at the right time, and following the direction of his finger, there was an exceptionally clear white scratch on the black trunk of a dead elm tree.

Cheng Ye instantly understood that this was the trace left by the big beast when it passed by.

Deliberately looking on the ground, you can see that there are not clear footprints of large beasts in the soil covered with rotting leaves not far away, extending deep into the dense forest.

An exclamation came from the other side of the woods.

Looking around, a black horse was galloping towards a young man from a distance, followed by a young man, shouting loudly.

Cheng Ye and Ah Xiao glanced at each other:

"The horse was shocked."

Cheng Ye threw a look at Ah Xiao and Xiao Yuyi, and turned the horse's head to the galloping black horse.

When he was ten steps away from the black horse, Cheng Ye dodged to the side to dodge, and jumped on the horse's back when he saw the right time to pass sideways with the black horse.

Horses were his main job as a teenager, and it was certainly not a problem to subdue a mad horse.

While he tried his best to hold the young man on horseback and comfort him, he kept their bodies tightly on the horse's back.

Pulling out a hand and lifting the reins to the side, who knew that the black horse was extremely mad, and ran straight out for about five or six miles before slowly slowing down.

Cheng Ye picked up the thin boy on horseback, patted him on the shoulder and reassured:

"It's okay, it's okay, little brother."

Ben wanted to fly off his horse, but when he saw the young man's dark eyes looking at him thoughtfully, he remembered that this person seemed to be the attendant of Ebony Fulei.

There was a sense of arrogance in his heart, and he joked:

"You Turks can't even control horses at this age?"

Seeing that the young man was still staring at him motionlessly, Cheng Ye realized that this Turk didn't know Chinese, so he shook his head and smiled and jumped off the horse.

The smile was still on his lips, but he was instantly startled by the sight in front of him, looking around at the grassy slopes and dense forests, under the sun, there were no buildings or markers, and he could not find the way back.

There was a long laugh of crisp banter from behind, and the boy leaned back and fell back laughing on horseback.

Cheng Ye rubbed his swollen temples, and felt that the smile lasted for a long time before stopping.

At least twice, he used all his reason to press the fist he wanted to raise into the boy's mouth.

I saw the young man leaning down from the horse, his dark eyes were shining with some blue light, Cheng Ye looked straight into those eyes, and his heartbeat couldn't help but miss half a beat.
