Chapter 208: Hunting
On the evening of the third day of departure, the team arrived at the North River paddock.
After a night of repair, the people who were going to participate in the hunt early the next morning gathered together with longbows and quivers, and went to the hunting garden with the emperor in circles.
Luo Sheng, who had changed into a cyan riding uniform, was also in the team.
As far as the eye can see, there are endless grasslands and dense forests, the wind blows the grass low, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
Not far away are one tent after another.
Those who do not participate in the hunt can play in the tent or take a walk in the vicinity to enjoy the scenery.
Such a vast world is something that cannot be seen in the back house of the capital, so naturally you can't waste a good time in another courtyard.
Luo Sheng looked at the tent next to the most gorgeous golden tent.
It was the prince's golden horde, and the morning flower should be in it.
It's just that as the prince's chosen attendant, it is inconvenient for her to come out and walk around casually, and even if she comes out, she has to hug her.
You still can't rush it.
Luo Sheng grabbed the reins and sighed lightly in his heart.
"Cousin, I'll shoot you a deer later." Sheng Saburo's black horse and Luo Sheng's jujube red horse stood side by side, compared to the owner's excitement, the big black horse was much calmer.
Hongdou pouted: "Our girl even beat a little leopard last year." β
Sheng Saburo was taken aback: "Cousin, did you really hit a leopard?" β
Luo Sheng was noncommittal and tugged at the corners of his lips.
How does she know if Miss Luo hit a leopard last year, Hongdou said yes, that is.
Sheng Saburo was obviously shocked: "My cousin is too powerful...... Is leopard meat better than venison? β
Hongdou: "......" She thought that her cousin was shocked by the girl's great achievements, but she didn't expect it to eat.
The horn sounded, and several groups of cavalry rushed in all directions.
Deep in the forest, whistles come and go.
Herds of deer run through the forest and grassland, attracting more wild beasts.
As the encirclement narrowed, the deer began to run in panic, and jackals, tigers and leopards gave fierce chase.
Looking at such a scene from afar, everyone's mood became agitated and excited.
The annual autumn hunt has just begun.
"Please ask the emperor to shoot first."
As the minister played, Emperor Yong'an took the bow and arrow handed over by the chamberlain and rode forward.
An arrow flew out like a meteor and hit a stag.
The crowd erupted in applause and flattery.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited to shoot with you."
Wei Qiang held the reins in his hand and looked at Emperor Yong'an.
"Go ahead." Emperor Yong'an bowed slightly.
Wei Qiang rode out of the horse, raised his eyes and looked around, bent his bow and shot an arrow.
Feathered arrows flew out and hit a white rabbit.
The crowd cheered again.
Although shooting the stag and the white rabbit is not as good as shooting the beast, the first arrow is not very majestic.
The arrow does not miss, and the picture is a good color.
Next it was Wei Han's turn.
In previous years, there was King Pingnan, and King Pingnan was the elder brother, and he shot in front of King Kaiyang. And this year, King Pingnan had an accident, and no one came to the entire Pingnan Palace.
In the team of Qiu Hunt, in addition to the emperor and the crown prince, the most noble is the king of Kaiyang.
A scarlet robe, a white horse.
The handsome and serious young man ran towards the running beast with a longbow in hand, and his momentum was amazing.
Everyone can hardly think of the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, only the vigorous and heroic posture of Jin Ge Iron Horse.
Someone couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't King Kaiyang going to hunt a tiger and leopard?" β
"Of course, it's okay to hunt a tiger and leopard with the skills of King Kaiyang, but it's just a little inappropriate......"
Just now, the emperor and the prince hunted a stag and a rabbit on the other, if the king of Kaiyang shot the tiger and leopard, wouldn't he have crushed the emperor and the prince.
The follow-up shooting is not as good as the next large-scale encirclement, which is considered a part of the autumn ceremony, and it should be converged.
Looking at the tall and scarlet figure, many people secretly shook their heads in their hearts: Kaiyang Wang Gang and the weak crown are a little young and vigorous.
Wei Han naturally didn't care what everyone thought, he drew the longbow, and a feathered arrow flew out quickly.
Everyone's eyes chased after the feather arrow that flew out, but before they could see it clearly, the feather arrow had already nailed the prey in the distance to the ground.
The speed was a little fast, the distance was a little far, and everyone stretched out their necks to poke their heads, but they didn't see what beast King Kaiyang had hunted.
At this time, the cavalry in charge of driving away the beast shouted: "The prince hunts a wild boarβ"
The wind blows, and the horses flick their tails.
The people present were as if they were petrified, and their expressions were dull.
Did you hear it wrong?
Looking at the heroic posture of King Kaiyang just now, even if you don't shoot jackals, tigers and leopards, at least you have to shoot a fox.
Hunted a wild boar......
A special guard stepped forward to drag the wild boar away and keep it as the spoils of King Kaiyang.
Everyone silently watched the dead boar being dragged away, and their mood was delicate.
In the eyes of the Northern Qi people, the Kaiyang King of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a god-like existence, so you can't fight for them a little bit, how can you shoot a stupid wild boar!
The quiet scene was filled with invisible resentment for a while.
Emperor Yong'an cleared his throat and opened his mouth: "Eleventh brother is good at archery. β
If the wild boar is very fierce when it is launched, it can be killed with an arrow at such a long distance, which shows that it is shooting at the vital point.
Not only must it be accurate, but it must also be strong.
King Kaiyang's archery skills are unparalleled, which is a fact that no matter how vulgar the wild boar is, it can't hide it.
Hearing the emperor's praise, everyone packed up their mood and followed the praise.
The sound of the horn sounded, kicking off the hunt of the princes and ministers.
"Watch me hunt a deer!" Sheng Saburo held his bow and rushed over excitedly.
Hongdou was eager to try: "Girl, why don't you go?" β
"Go, you can move freely, and if you get good prey, go back to barbecue and eat it."
Before Luo Sheng's words fell, he saw two teenagers rushing out on horseback.
One is Luo Chen, and the other is Xiao Qi.
Red Beans also cheered and rushed out.
Luo Sheng shook the reins, the speed was not fast, it was not so much hunting as loitering.
The jujube red horse under him seemed to hurt his self-esteem a little, and he flicked his tail in dissatisfaction.
A large white horse approached.
"Miss Luo doesn't have a prey for you?"
Luo Sheng looked sideways at the owner of the white horse, and said lightly: "There is nothing in the eye for the time being." β
The two horses ran forward side by side, and the voice of the man Qingyue sounded again: "What does Miss Luo think of the wild boar I hunted?" β
Luo Sheng felt that this question was not easy to answer, and thought for a while and said, "Mighty and majestic? β
The crimson figure flickered slightly, and almost fell off the white horse.
After a pause, Wei Han asked tentatively: "How do you think Miss Luo thinks it can be used to make flower elbows?" β
He still remembers meeting Miss Luo by chance on the way back to Beijing, and he bumped into her doing flower elbows.
The scent of the elbow not only made him stop, but also hooked a group of mountain bandits to endure until the elbow was ready before jumping out.
Well, the black-faced kid in the mountain bandits is now hunting with Miss Luo.
"The prince wants to eat flower elbows?"
Looking at the girl with a cold expression, Wei Han coughed lightly and said, "It's just a proposal." I eat whatever Miss Luo does. β
