Chapter 41: The First Encounter in the Hunting Tournament
After the performance, there was a lot of applause, and it took a while to subside.
Gu Feng was also faintly excited in his heart, "Okay, good!" The good idea that the squire of the military department came up with, come to the people, reward the performers with one tael of gold each, and reward the squire of the military department with one hundred taels of gold! ”
"Today, is it the first day of the hunting conference, or should it be mainly hunting, what is the next program?" Gu Feng was already looking forward to it.
"If you go back to the emperor, the next thing is the hunting competition, which is mainly hunting. Wechen thought that in order to make the hunting meeting go on better, the royal people should take the lead. The look of confidence on the face of the soldier was even more serious, and he said with some spirit.
Gu Feng also nodded approvingly, "But, since that's the case, it's ...... Let's Pingwang! ”
Gu Ye's body was just about to stand up, but he suddenly stiffened, and the expression on his face became stiff.
Sure enough, Mu Chuan got up, arched his hand at Gu Feng and said, "Erchen obeys the order, I don't know if there is another person, can Erchen choose?" ”
Gu Feng's gaze glanced slightly at Mo Xuanyin, who was comfortably drinking tea from time to time, Mu Chuan nodded slightly, as if he said yes, and directly blurted out the candidate who had already been decided.
"Wang Shizi of Yunnan, I don't know if I can give advice?"
Since the fire has burned on him, and he can't refuse, let alone he won't refuse.
"If you can't give advice, you will teach each other with King Ping." Mo Xuanyin also took it.
So the prince went down with King Ping to prepare, and after a quarter of an hour, he set out from here and went into the forest to hunt, and the time limit was one stick of incense, and the one who caught the most of the prey was the winner. If there is no objection, go down and prepare! Gu Feng said this, and the smugness in his eyes seemed to have seen victory.
Mo Xuanyin laughed secretly in his heart, could he be so proud too early? Or does he look useless, or is this King Ping very powerful?
Which is right and which is wrong, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is!
Mo Xuanyin's blood also burned, this was the first time he felt so excited since he left Yunnan, the blood all over his body was boiling, and he couldn't wait to see their frustrated expressions after being defeated by him.
Gu Xiwu looked at Mo Xuanyin's back, but unexpectedly, this person suddenly turned around and looked straight in her direction.
Although it was far away, she could see the meaning in his eyes.
He said, I'm going to win!
Slowly lowering his eyes, the corners of Gu Xiwu's mouth curled slightly, and he could only hide his uncontrollable smile by drinking tea.
Gu Che and Gu Ronghe happened to witness all this, including Mo Xuanyin's sudden turn of head to find Gu Xiwu's location accurately, including the unstoppable smile on the corner of her mouth, all of them looked thoughtful.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the two men rode into the field, carrying the same bow on their backs, and the same number of arrows in their quivers.
"The hunting tournament has officially begun!" At Gu Feng's suggestion, the soldier stepped forward and lit the incense that was prepared in case of an adult's knuckle, and gave orders at the moment of ignition.
I saw that the two figures rushed towards the forest in an instant, and almost in the blink of an eye, there were only two points left, so you can imagine how fast this speed is.
Gu Xiwu looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, and inexplicably believed that Mo Xuanyin would win, and he would win very beautifully!
On the other hand, Gu Miaoxuan was nervous, her eyes pulled in the direction of their distance without blinking, and she kept praying in her heart, you Muchuan must win.
Gu Feng suddenly waved his hand, called the soldier to his side, and after giving a few orders, he proposed to everyone on the seat: "Everyone Aiqing thinks that whoever will win this hunting contest will go to the soldier to place a bet, and he is happy today, and he is not so particular." I will lead by example first and give King Ping a thousand taels of silver! ”
There was an uproar!
Everyone speculated about the emperor's move, and some of them reacted quickly, and they had already hurriedly ordered their subordinates to take the silver ticket and go to the military department to occupy a place.
There is no doubt that on Makikawa's side, the stakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the multiples are also rising.
And Mo Xuanyin is very pitiful, no one dares to vote for him at all, and some people would rather give up than participate in it.
Gu Feng's temperament is elusive, even if someone is secretly optimistic about Mo Xuanyin, he has to weigh his family and the family.
Who knows if the top one will be remembered in his heart and settle accounts after the autumn?
But Gu Xiwu has no such concerns, first, her identity, as the future princess, it is normal to support the future princess.
Second, she is a woman, although she doesn't want to admit it, but it is precisely because she is a woman that she can do this, and I will not cause others to think about it.
Although she also has a monthly case, it is only twenty taels, but her usual expenses are not large, and more of them are paid by the public, so her monthly case is almost useless, and she has more or less saved nearly fifty taels of silver.
It's going to be handed over to Caiyin and let her go to the field.
At this time, Fang suddenly handed a purse to her, and Gu Xiwu looked at it suspiciously.
"This is what your father gave you, knowing that you will bet on the prince, knowing that you usually don't have much money on hand, you also add this money to it, you want to do it, just do it with your heart." Fang said with a gentle smile.
Gu Ronghe on the side also coaxed: "Sister, this is my brother's share, you can also take it together, and give me some points according to this amount if you earn it, if you don't make it, it doesn't matter, just have fun!" ”
Gu Xiwu didn't want to take it, but Gu Ronghe's attitude was tough, and with Gu Che's acquiescence, she had to take it all, write down the number, and then hand it over to Cai Yin together, and instructed her to just say her name.
Gu Rongzhi, who had been trying to reduce his sense of existence, pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't see his father give him some money to join in the fun, he saw it, the stack of silver coins, to say the least, there were a few hundred taels, if it was all pressed on King Ping, according to this multiple that has been rising, it will definitely be able to multiply several times!
Gu Miaoxuan was thinking about Mu Chuan in her heart, and at the same time, she was also paying attention to Gu Xiwu's every move not far away, she didn't notice the scene where Gu Che gave her money through the Fang clan, but she saw Cai Yin holding a bulging purse in her hand and walking towards the middle of the field.
Moreover, he went straight to Mo Xuanyin's side.
This Gu Xiwu actually naively thought that the prince of Yunnan would really be able to win?
Gu Miaoxuan didn't say a word, so she asked Qinghe to take the thousand taels she was carrying, and went down, but she hated why she didn't bring more when she came out!
This thousand taels is not a small amount, because Gu Feng is in front, when everyone is betting, the amount is small, and they are not embarrassed at all.
Therefore, when Mo Xuanyin was the first time someone bet, and Gu Miaoxuan's number was exposed, it also caused a heated discussion.
But the hot talk is hot, and no one has said anything about it.
One is Princess Ping, and the other is the future princess of Yunnan, it is normal to contribute to her husband or her future husband.
Even Gu Feng just glanced at Gu Che's direction without a trace, and then glanced at Gu Xiwu, who had a calm expression, and then withdrew his gaze, looking very disapproving.
The time of a pillar of incense gradually arrived, and finally when there was only a small section left, suddenly the son of the family pointed in the direction of the forest and shouted: "It's back, someone is back!" ”
This voice attracted everyone's attention, and they were all guessing who would be the first to come back?
Gu Feng also stood up excitedly, looking at the galloping figure with an expectant expression.
Gu Ye on the side also clenched his palms at the same time, although it was not appropriate to say this, but he was really thinking in his heart, how good this person was Mo Xuanyin.
As the distance got closer and closer, the figure of the person on the horse gradually became clear, but what made everyone's jaws drop was that the person who came turned out to be the prince of Yunnan who everyone expected, Mo Xuanyin!
The curvature of the corners of Gu Feng's mouth slowly flattened as Mo Xuanyin's figure got closer and closer, but at the moment when he was about to stop, another figure rushed out of the forest at great speed.
At this time, the incense was almost burned out, and everyone was worried, and they were always on the incense that was about to burn out, and Mu Chuan's figure, back and forth.
Mu Chuan didn't expect this kind of mistake to happen in the end, and he was even more ruthless, and whipped the horse's buttocks, clamping the horse's belly hard, and finally arrived before the last bit of incense was completely burned out.
Gu Feng, who was seated, and the official family who bought Muchuan Win, Gu Miaoxuan and Gu Ye were all looking forward to it, but the latter was completely opposite to the previous two things.
A gallop made Mu Chuan a little embarrassed, panting fiercely, and waited until his breath finally smoothed out a little, then he turned over and dismounted, and saluted Gu Feng at the top, "Erchen lived up to his trust and came back!" ”
"Okay, just come back on time!" Gu Feng said.
Mo Xuanyin didn't think that there was something wrong with this script, and he was just about to remind these two fathers and sons that the results of the game had not yet come out, but they had already stopped themselves faster than him.
"Now that both of them are back, then the next step is to count the prey. The squire of the military department, in front of everyone, count it well! Gu Feng still looked like he already knew the result.
The squire of the military department responded, and then came to Mo Xuanyin's side first, and began to inspect the prey under his gaze.
Two roe deer, three rabbits, two pheasants,...... In the end, it was calculated that there were fifteen large and small.
Next, the soldier squire went to Makikawa's prey, although he didn't like Makakikawa very much.
Still, one, two, three...... Nine, ten, eleven.
Well?
The soldier couldn't believe his eyes, and began to count them one by one again, but no matter how he counted, it was still eleven.
You must know that there are fifteen of them on Mo Xuanyin's side, not to mention the difference of four prey, even the size of the prey is far less than that of the world.
What should I do now? The sweat of the soldiers is dripping, and when it's over, how can I explain to the emperor now?
