Chapter 231: Complete Victory

There is a West Mountain in the west of the capital, which is the mass grave of the imperial court, and last year there was a mutiny, and the bones of the West Mountain were piled up. There is a palace in the east of the capital, which is the place of pleasure of the royal family, the curved water surrounds the wild goose word, and the green mountains and forests fly birds and animals.

Today, the emperor and queen came in person, and the forbidden army and brocade guards guarding the palace surrounded the regiments in the east of the capital, and the people who would stop in the future were blocked.

This forest has grown for hundreds of years, the ancient trees and shrubs cover the road, and the forbidden army who have watched the hunting grounds for many years have put rabbits and deer and other birds into it every year to let it multiply, and from a distance, there is no difference from a naturally formed deep mountain old forest, but the emperor's greatest interest today is not in the forest, but in the enclosure where rabbits are kept in captivity.

The heroic generals have been shuttling in the forest for a long time, and their clothes have long been dyed with green grass and green leaves and flowers, some of them are more careless, and they are also marked with red marks on their faces and necks by the branches of towering ancient trees, but what a beautiful thing it is to follow the emperor to hunt, and in this place in the capital, they can enjoy the fun of hunting so wantonly, and they can't ask for it. The generals who hung up the colors got off their horses happily, and went to this paddock with the emperor, listening to the emperor formulate the next hunting rules.

Today, there are 20 military generals hunting with the emperor, both old and young, in the military is not with the general respect for the old, advocating the strength of the military promotion is measured by military merits, in the now control of the Dahe military power has the ability to give orders to thousands of troops and horses among the twenty people, there is no doubt that Fan Dongliang, Xiong Huaiyuan, Shen Kening, Chaoge, these are the commanders of the envoy status is the highest, although the Marquis of Changsheng Zhenguo has military merits in the body and returned from a great victory in Suzhou, but can only stand behind Zhao Jingzhi, the squire of the military department.

The emperor at the front of the team announced the yellow dragon robe, and the dragon crown on his head had been replaced with a bright yellow silk with a hosta.

There are more than 100 rabbits in the paddock, they all live in that forest, last year's snowstorm covered the knees, these rabbits ran out of captivity only to be kept here, the emperor's sharp arrow pointed out, it was the rabbits who held the grass and gnawed on the rabbits on a commotion dispersed.

The emperor squinted his left eye slightly, and aimed the arrow at a thin white rabbit who was running, only to hear a sound, the bow and arrow left the string and sank into the white rabbit's body, and the white rabbit that was jumping off the ground fell to the grass, and the blood was wet and the grass was dyed red and white.

"The emperor has good archery skills!" The crowd cheered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who will shoot this second arrow?" The emperor turned his head and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Zhu Ge behind him.

Shen Ke concurrently serves as the commander of the two armies, and has the highest status among the five commanders, while Chao Wang Ning Chaoge is the most popular candidate for the crown prince at the moment, and he may be the king of a country in the future, and his identity cannot be measured by a commander, and the crowd looked at these two people.

"General~"

After the crowd, Li's mother walked over quickly.

The generals present are all people with status, and they can see at a glance whose slave this middle-aged old woman should be, because today's hunting ground is a man's territory, and everyone tacitly does not carry slaves, and all people can only think of the female dependents on the side of Yanliu Lake in the north.

Shen Ke, who was standing beside Ning Chaoge after the emperor, turned his head when he heard the call, and saw that it was Mother Li who came with the housekeeper, so he hugged his fist with the emperor and saluted and withdrew from the crowd.

"General, Doctor Song of the Song Clan Medical Hall was arrested by Jinyi Guard, his wife was crying outside the Shen Mansion, and the slave didn't know what to do, so he could only come and ask for instructions!"

The butler bowed in a low voice.

Doctor Song of the Song Medical Center, Jin Yiwei, and Shen Ke twitched their eyebrows, like the freezing point of icicles hanging upside down on the eaves.

"But what is the reason?"

Doctor Song is the doctor of Shen Mansion, and at the beginning, Doctor Song tried his best to treat Du Yiyi and Shen Ke also thanked him for his affection, and it was obviously not a trivial matter to be able to alarm Jinyiwei.

"There is no explanation, the person has been taken away by the Jinyi Guard." The housekeeper looked forward to the left and right, took a step forward and whispered: "General, the little nephew of the farmer surnamed Li in the suburbs came early this morning, saying that Li Lao Wu and his wife were taken away by a group of black-clothed people last night!" ”

It was Shen Ke, who was playing with the bowstring, who tightened his hands and turned his head to look at Zhu Ge not far away, not far away, Zhu Ge was also looking at this side.

"Calm down Mrs. Song, I'll talk about other things when I go back."

Turning around, Shen Ke strode back to the crowd, Ning Chaoge, who was coaxed by the crowd, had already taken away his bow, and several white rabbits had fallen on the field.

"General Shen!" Zhu Ge, who was holding a bow and a quiver for the emperor, saw Shen Ke return, and moved two steps to his side.

"Commander Zhu!" Shen Ke bowed his head and looked at the paddock.

"General Shen, today my people took Doctor Song from the Song Clan's Medical Hall, and I heard that he is the doctor of your Shen Mansion, don't you mind?" Zhu Ge held a curved bow decorated with jade, and looked at the white rabbits in the enclosure who fell under the bow and arrows together with Shen Ke.

"Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervising the inspection of cases by hundreds of officials, how can Shen mind!" Everyone's bow and arrow are their own, Shen Ke's bow is an ebony bow that has accompanied him in Jingcheng for many years, naturally carved and decorated, only the place where he shook hands and opened the bow was tied with a piece of cowhide, he smiled and hooked his right index finger and pulled the bowstring, and the buzzing bowstring was like a piano.

"Then I will rest assured, if it is found that Song Er is not guilty, Jinyiwei will be released, if he is guilty, Jinyiwei will not be spared." Zhu Ge didn't have the courage to pull the emperor's bowstring, he looked at the curved bow in Shen Ke's hand from time to time and Shen Ke's side face staring at the paddock, and his heart was like this black hair that was entangled by the branches of the forest.

Indeed, he has no evidence, although many people are now striving to collect evidence like him, but no one can prove that Shen Ke really has a rebellious heart.

The emperor is really old, and the more people he needs to trust, the more he can't trust them, thinking about what he and some loyal old men have done for the emperor's suspicions in recent days, Zhu Ge's heart is a little bitter, in fact, the most important thing is military power!

"Commander Zhu enforces the law impartially, and Shen admires it." Shen Ke bowed slightly, then turned his head to look at the paddock again, most of the white rabbits in the paddock had died under Ning Chaoge's arrows, it seemed that their group of people had no chance to open the bow.

"General Shen is also well-known for his righteousness and integrity in the army, it should be Zhu Ge who admires General Shen, and it is good that Dahe can really have a few more handsome talents like General Shen! It's a pity to be like Qin Guogong!"

The sharp arrow strong wind, pierced into the body of a fat white rabbit who was gnawing on the grass and was unaware of the danger, the white rabbit immediately died, writhing and struggling on the ground for a long time before slowly dying, the grass in the piece where it struggled had been crushed and broken, and the blood dripped on the grass, turning the green grass into black jade.

Zhu Ge stroked the black jade plate on the belt representing the rank of the Jinyi Guard on his waist, and walked behind the emperor.

Shen Ke stared at the blood rabbit that was already covered in blood, the indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth became a little heavy, this blood rabbit reminded him of some past events that he shouldn't think about, and Zhu Ge's words reminded him of the lives that were wiped away because of him.

Could it be that the emperor has already realized his identity? It shouldn't be, the emperor created the bloodshed of eleven years ago and the blood of last year, if he was aware of his identity, he would definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how could he only order this brocade guard to investigate himself?

What exactly does Jinyiwei's action stand for?

Looking at the father and son who were shooting arrows with a bow, a picture flashed in Shen Ke's mind, this is the emperor's move to help Ning Chaoge fight for power? Or has the emperor begun to abandon himself, the person who helped him to reduce his meritorious military power?

Even the meritorious deeds of the founding of the country have only become a handful of loess on the West Mountain, his chess piece, will eventually be abandoned, the emperor is unkind, the most capable is the meritorious loyal minister, he used to be his father, and now it will be his turn?

"Shen Ke! Here you go! ”

Shooting twenty white rabbits in one go, the emperor, who was too addicted, thought of Shen Ke, who had just left the group, and motioned for him to step forward.

Shen Ke saluted respectfully and stood side by side with Ning Chaoge.

"General Shen, I have finished shooting these three arrows, a total of sixty, and the rest is up to you!" Ning Chaoge untied the quiver on his back, and the forbidden army hurriedly replaced him with a quiver full of feather arrows.

"King Chao's arrows are not missing, good archery!"

Shen Ke politely bowed his head and opened his bow with an arrow.

Shout..................

Shen Ke's first sword was shot at the blood rabbit who had been sticking a bow and arrow but was still struggling.

"General Shen, this doesn't count!" Fan Dongli on the side reminded.

"Although they are beasts, they always have a life, and they must die a happy death!" Shen Ke opened his bow, and then the arrow went off the string, and he sank into the body of the struggling blood rabbit.

It was the blood rabbit who was struggling with four legs, and his legs were weak, and there was no movement, and two feathered arrows, one white and one blue, were inserted upside down in the belly of the blood rabbit.

One another, and another, and another.

Shen Ke used a barrel of twenty arrows to let these undead blood rabbits walk onto the Huangquan Road.

Some people in the crowd secretly ridiculed Shen Ke's arrogance, some people felt Shen Ke's leniency, and looked at the paddock with a more serious look, more and more rabbits were put into the paddock, according to the regulations, Ning Chaoge set up three barrels of arrows, and Shen Ke could also set up three cylinders, and finally counted the number of white rabbits shot by the two, and the most one won.

Shen Ke wasted twenty arrows, obviously it was impossible to catch up with the number of Ning Chaoge shots.

But the facts? There are also people who doubt the outcome of this should be no longer suspenseful, and have confidence in the invincible Shen Ke.

Who said you can only shoot a rabbit with an arrow? Jingcheng, where Shen Ke is located, is known as the most bitter border of Dahe like Suzhou, Jingcheng located in the northwest of Dahe has been fighting with the grassland barbarians who are considered the most fierce by the people of Dahe, the grassland people are natural warriors, whether it is a close-quarters war horse station archery and scimitar are good hands, Shen Ke, who was just a small soldier in the cavalry, learned a stunt in order to survive on the grassland, his arrow, in his combat record killed the most is three people, a small white rabbit, can he still kill or not?

Two eagles with one stone, two birds with one stone, the remaining forty arrows of Shen Ke are comparable to eighty arrows of ordinary people.

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows............

When Shen Ke's room ran through the three white rabbits, the crowd erupted in exclamations, and Shen Ke added another arrow to the third rabbit that was still kicking its four legs.

The life of an animal cannot be compared to that of a human, but he maintains respect for all lives.

Ning Chaoge, who was happily tightening the bowstring at school, listened to this cheer, his expression became more and more serious, and the emperor saw such a grimness, and his mood was even heavier.

As everyone said and saw, he had already regarded Ning Chaoge as the first person in the military to be in charge of the military in the future to cultivate, in terms of Shen Ke's generosity and mastery of all arts, Ning Chaoge was still too far behind, in the military where strength was important, with the gap between the two, it was impossible for Ning Chaoge to replace Shen Ke.

The generals cheered, looking at Shen Ke's eyes with even more envy and reverence, such a miraculous skill, not to mention the top ten founding feats, even the Holy Ancestor did not have such archery skills, not to mention that Shen Ke's earliest fame was not a bow and arrow, but his superb swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship is unparalleled, the archery is amazing, the riding skills are comparable to the grassland barbarians, and the soldiers are invincible like gods. What's more, this handsome talent, who is rare to see in a century, has a benevolent heart.

If Ning Chaoge won the admiration of the generals with his arrows, then Shen Ke won the love of the generals with his benevolence and two rabbits with one stone, the veteran was very pleased, and the young general was very envious.

The rabbits shot by Ning Chaoge and Shen Ke were counted and finally counted, sixty to seventy-nine, and Shen Ke won completely.

Seeing such a wonderful archery, the generals were enthusiastic and shook their arms to participate in the later competition, and there were still people unfinished at sunset and dusk.

The people on the queen's side have all gotten into the carriage, and Aunt Liu was ordered by the queen to pass the queen's message to the emperor to return to the palace.

The emperor and the queen returned to the city together, the mighty carriage and the forbidden army escorting the carriage occupied the wide official road, the rolling yellow dust was raised under the wheel, and the pedestrians got off the official road and stood on the ridge, for fear of provoking this lineup.

Every time the queen is summoned, it is equivalent to sitting on a cold bench, after entering the city, Du Yiyi said goodbye to the queen and others and went alone, Liudong Street, for this day's spring trip, she did not step out of the queen and others in such a good mood.

Ning Zhiyuan said that he was sick today and did not walk with the emperor, this day was just playing chess and reading books and drinking tea with Changliu in the house, what is it like to not see it every other day, this day Ning Zhiyuan, who was restless and anxious and difficult to concentrate, finally knew what the grievances of his predecessors were for.

"Don't look at it, didn't you let Qin Huai stay at the door for a day, if the princess came back, Qin Huai would have come in and would have forsythia!"

Forsythia, who was standing aside to serve tea, stomped his feet with a shy face, and twisted the teapot in his hand.

Du Yiyi specially left Forsythia in the Rui Wang's Mansion to get along with Qin Huai, who was rarely idle, but Ning Zhiyuan, who was helpless and lovesick, did not have the heart of adult beauty, and at noon saw Qin Huai and Forsythia two tenderness and sweetness, you and me, my heart was very sad, and I immediately sent Qin Huai to the gate of the house to wait for Forsythia to stay by his side and bring tea and water.

Chang Liu had already laughed for a day, Ning Zhiyuan broke up the mandarin duck's stinginess, and even won a few chess games against Ning Zhiyuan when he was uncertain.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't go out today, not because of illness, but because now his people and Jinyiwei have come to the final step of hide and seek.

Jin Yiwei knew Ziyue's whereabouts because of Ning Chaoge's news, Yaozhou's Jinyiwei had already started yesterday, he had already concentrated people from several points near Yaozhou to Yaozhou, and Jinyiwei who dealt with Yaozhou would not be defeated with one blow, the most headache was not Ziyue, but Du Yiyi, because he had promised Du Yiyi not to hurt the child in Ziyue's belly.

"It's wrong again!" Chang Liu warped the chessboard unhappily, "It's useless for you to have a headache in this matter, just let her give birth, anyway, now many people know that you have been cuckolded, as long as this child is not yours, the emperor will deal with it for you!" ”

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, and he could only accept it with his outspokenness.

"Hey, I didn't take precautions, but I didn't get the second one!"

Ning Zhiyuan's soul is not guarded, Chang Liu's win is not in the mood, he shook the hand holding the chess piece, hesitated a few times, and put the chess piece back in the chess box: "If you can catch the queen's move, then it can be regarded as a positive result, the day before yesterday I went to the imperial hospital, and I happened to meet the county lord of Ningyi, the county lord of Ningyi asked me some things about you and the princess, there is a queen instigating, the county lord of Ningyi is the most tricky here!" ”

Ning Zhiyuan exhaled gloomily, fell on the Taishi's chair and looked at the sky and sighed.

It's not a good thing that the peach blossom luck is too strong!

"Lord Ningyi is too affectionate for you, you can't get rid of this dog skin ointment, instead of thinking about how to break the marriage contract, it is better to let her learn to get along with the princess!" Chang Liu hit the nail on the head of Ning Zhiyuan's heart again, Forsythia heard that Chang Liu was so bewitching Ning Zhiyuan, and he was dissatisfied and stomped his feet again.

"Please also ask Mr. Chang for advice!" Ning Zhiyuan weakly hugged his fist towards Chang Liu.

Chang Liu ignored Ning Zhiyuan's sarcasm, and said with a smile: "Women, you still have to rely on coaxing!" ”

Forsythia snorted twice, rolled her eyes, and scolded the coaxing trick that she used to use over and over again in her heart.

Outside the courtyard gate, Qin Huai walked in quickly, and when he saw the forsythia standing by the window, he accelerated his pace and entered the house.

Hearing that Du Yiyi's carriage had arrived at Liudong Street, Ning Zhiyuan, who was slumped on the Taishi chair, instantly stood up energetically, threw down the chess pieces he had been holding in his hand, and ran out.

Chang Liu got up and picked up the chess pieces, glanced at Qin Huai, who was facing the forsythia and asked for warmth, and thought of the two medicine boys who had been courteous to Du Yiyi's maid in the past few days, so he could only pick up the teacup and walk to the medicine shelf to start developing a new prescription.

Before Du Yiyi got out of the carriage, he saw Ning Zhiyuan standing in front of the mansion, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, Ning Zhiyuan greeted him, and the housekeeper who did this in the past could only stand behind him.

After entering the house, she only waited for a moment for dinner in the kitchen to be served, and Ning Zhiyuan served her a bowl of soup with great hospitality.

This kind of treatment is the first time, Du Yiyi finished the meal in horror, and Ning Zhiyuan rarely proposed to go for a walk in the backyard.

After enduring a day in the suburbs, Du Yiyi was a little moved when she was puzzled and cared for Ning Zhiyuan when she came back.

"What's interesting today?"

Walking in the backyard under the moon, the anxiety that had been haunting in his heart all day today was finally resolved, Ning Zhiyuan didn't want Du Yiyi to go at first, but Du Yiyi was afraid that he would chew his tongue more at that time, so he would rush away hungry, he could expect that Du Yiyi would definitely be squeezed by people today.
