Chapter 255: Farewell
The county lord of Xinrou stood in the middle of all the ladies, looked at Xu Qingyan in the field, and stopped talking several times, she wanted to tell Xu Qingyan not to go, but this was the emperor's will, and ........
Emperor Zhou Qing actually had a trace of unbearability in his heart, but last night the shadow told him that Xu Qingyan's martial arts were unfathomable, not to mention Mao Xinran and Cao Hongyang, but he didn't know how much stronger than him.
Thinking that this year is not as good as in previous years, winning or losing this time is related to the national fortune of the Great Zhou, which is really light.
And now that the four countries have been eyeing the Great Zhou, today's competition will definitely be more dangerous than in previous years, so Xu Qingyan, a person with a super high force value, has become his target.
hopes that her strength can help Mao Xinran and them fight for a chance to win.
Although this move hindered her reputation, he had to do it for the sake of Da Zhou.
As soon as the unbearability flashed in his eyes, he heard Xu Qingyan whisper:
"The courtiers don't complain, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, although the courtiers are a woman, but they are also the people of the Great Zhou, and they are honored to be able to contribute to the Great Zhou."
When Emperor Zhou Qing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, well said, I didn't think you were so young, but you have such a mind, you really don't let you shave your eyebrows." ”
"The emperor praises falsely." Xu Qingyan replied modestly.
"No, you can afford it."
After Emperor Zhou Qing finished speaking, he looked at the people under the stairs with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the last and most important game of the Xiangshan competition.
It is a matter of the survival of the Great Zhou, and I hope that you and others can do whatever it takes to go all out. “
"Yes, the ministers should do their best to live up to the emperor's grace." Everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to return triumphantly at the bottom of the mountain."
After finishing the matter, Emperor Zhou Qing said a few words of encouragement, and then led everyone to the foot of Elephant Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the envoys of the four countries were already waiting there, and when they saw Emperor Zhou Qing bringing people over, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Emperor Zhou Qing said goodbye, then cast his eyes on the green mountain in front of him, and sighed in his heart, after today, Da Zhou didn't know if it could be extended.
Of the twenty people who competed, I don't know how many of them will come back alive.
Fortunately, he let Xu Qingyan go, she has high martial arts, Mao Xinran is well versed in the art of war, the two of them complement each other, and the odds of winning should be greater.
And Xu Qingyan is not only strong in martial arts, but also has amazing medical skills, which is also a point he likes.
In fact, in addition to not knowing the art of war, Xu Qingyan is the most suitable candidate for the contestant.
After a while, Emperor Zhou Qing retracted his gaze and turned his head to the people behind him: "The competition is about to start, you ....... Say goodbye. ”
As his words fell, the wives who had sons participating in the competition suddenly turned red in their eyes and were reluctant.
This time, the good luck is unpredictable, the good ones can stay alive and come back, and the bad ones may be the last one today.
Thinking of this, the ladies only felt that their hearts ached, and they took a few steps forward to hold their son's hand, but their throats were stalked, and they couldn't say a word of encouragement and comfort, so they could only shed tears.
But even if they don't want to give up anymore, they can't help it, this is the emperor's order, and they can't be disobeyed, and they know very well that while enjoying the benefits of their status, they naturally have to pay something for it.
"The time is coming, the competition is about to begin, and now the hunting items are being distributed."
When the ladies heard this, they couldn't help but tremble, took their son's hand, and reluctantly let go for a long time.
"Mother, don't worry about it, I will definitely come back alive."
"Mother, don't worry, my son has martial arts, he will be fine."
The ladies cried and nodded when they heard this: "Yes, my son will definitely come back safely, and my mother is waiting for my son to return safely at the bottom of the mountain." ”
As he spoke, he slowly stepped back, but his eyes full of tears were still sticking to the child, as if he couldn't see anything at this glance.
The fathers of all the sons, looking at this scene, their hearts are also very sour, but as men and fathers, and they are all people in high positions, they naturally will not be like the ladies with tears in their eyes.
Over there, a dozen or so people came carrying seven or eight large baskets, some of which contained ropes and fishing nets, and some of which contained longbows and arrows.
Bows and arrows are official, and the only self-defense weapon issued to the contestants is as for close weapons such as swords, these boys have them on weekdays, but they don't need to be prepared.
As for dry food, there is no need to prepare, the green mountains are verdant, the green trees are vast, and there are many things in it that can satisfy the stomach.
The team was divided into five rows and stood up, the five hunting teams except for the woman Xu Qingyan in the Da Zhou team, the Beiyi team also had an Erxiang county lord, and the other teams were all men.
The captain appointed by the Great Zhou Dynasty is Mao Xinran, the prince of the protector of the country, although he is not good at riding and archery, but the way of war is stronger than everyone else.
Hunting in the woods is not an individual physical competition, but a team competition that emphasizes unity and cooperation, so a qualified leader is crucial.
"It's time to start the competition."
As soon as the commander gave the order, everyone marched to Xiangshan with long ropes on their backs and bows and arrows in their hands.
"My son." Seeing them turn around, the ladies could no longer hold back, and immediately wept bitterly.
Princess Qing covered her face with a handkerchief and cried uncontrollably, and the county lord of Xinrou also cried on the side.
King Qing stood with other officials in the court, looking at the distant back, his eyes were red, and his hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly.
Elephant Mountain is a large mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, with lush vegetation and many wild things.
As soon as the hundred-man hunting party entered, it was startled by countless flocks of birds, and under the dense shade of the trees, there were bursts of birdsong and fluttering and flapping wings.
Fuzi and pheasants were also scurrying around in fright, and some unknown voices came from all directions, presumably the animals were warning their companions.
After entering the mountain, the four countries tested each other, then they each chose their own direction and acted separately, even if they wanted to target Da Zhou, it was not now.
Now it's better to go hunt some prey first, and stay until midnight is the best time.
Seeing that those people were gone, Mao Xinran also took everyone to pick a direction at random, and went deep into the mountains.
Most of the prey that scored live in the mountains, and the periphery of the mountains are full of small animals that do not score, and they don't have much time, so they can't delay here.
"Mao Shizi, I see that they are all going for the tiger, let's go quickly, it's too late, but we won't have our share," the son of a military attache urged.
Mao Xinran smiled when he heard this: "No, we don't fight tigers, a tiger is only ten ten, today we will pick a medium type, preferably a wild boar." “
"Wild boars are social animals, and they are much easier to deal with than wolves."
Because the ruthless group is not only a social animal, but also fierce and united, and the wisdom is much higher than that of wild boars.
After hearing this, Xu Qingyan nodded secretly in her heart, the emperor appointed Mao Xinran as the captain, and it really made sense.
When everyone was heading towards the goal of the tiger and the black bear, he was able to find another way.
Although the wild boar does not sound as domineering as the tiger, this is a game, and the result is the most important thing.
As Mao Shizi said, although the wild boar is only five points, if they can shoot down five or six heads, they can top three tigers.
Although a tiger has ten points, tigers are not social animals, and it is very difficult to find two or three tigers in a day and kill them.
And even if it's a moment of luck and encounters a tiger family, the problem is that the three of them are together, and the hunters can afford it.
Don't end up doing the other way around and letting the tiger hunt.
After all, the name of the king of all beasts is not called in vain, and if one is not good, it is very likely that there will be a large number of casualties.
And if a team has more than five people injured, then in the next most brutal prey battle, how to keep their hard-earned prey.
Therefore, Xu Qingyan is extremely supportive of Mao Xinran's idea.
"When you move forward, remember to pay attention to your surroundings to see if there are any animal footprints?" Mao Xinran instructed.
When everyone heard this, they looked around, shook their heads, and said, "I haven't found it for the time being." “
Mao Xinran nodded: "Well, continue to pay attention next." 2k reading network
