Chapter 332: Lying in the night and listening to the wind and rain

When the pioneer officer heard this, his heart was cold. To tell the truth, he is a military general, not a civilian official, the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, how can he not be prepared for this time? But this preparation means that he bends his bow and shoots the eagle, or from a hundred paces away, he shoots the tiger and wolf in the eye, causing it to kill him in the wilderness. If this is against the elephant herd, the odds are not to mention, but every brother who died, but he also carefully selected and followed him for a few years.

Zuo Tianjing gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire." It's just that this elephant herd is huge, if there is an omission and it collides with Your Majesty, the minister will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies, and please ask Your Majesty later, the minister ...... This led the brothers forward. ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, and then suddenly chuckled and said, "I'm not a mediocre tyrant, what are you nervous about. I believe in your ability, and I don't retreat a single step, just by the sidelines, beating the drum for you. As soon as he said this, Zuo Tianjing's heart boiled again. Since ancient times, what courtier has not longed to meet the Ming King? It's just that Mingjun is like a star in the sky, just look at it. If you want it to fall, it will be difficult and it will all depend on luck.

Now that you have an opportunity, why be greedy for life and afraid of death? It's just a herd of elephants, and it can ruin his good future. Zuo Tianjing cooled down, bowed deeply, and ordered left and right neatly. There were hundreds of good archers he brought, and the first round of attacks was carried out by them, because the elephant's skin was thick and thick, if it didn't hit the vital point, even if there were a few more on the body, it would only become more painful and crazy, so it was important to be accurate, at least to hit some vulnerable parts.

When they were a hundred paces away, they changed to the second round of spear throwers, everyone had arms longer than their knees, and their strength was infinite, and the iron spear was about one zhang and two feet long, and once it was nailed into the body, it would inevitably hurt the flesh and bones and slow down its movement. Fifty feet before they were coming, there was a wide river, and a third and a fourth were on top at the same time. A group of heavy cavalry mixed with infantry, forming a large shield as thick as a mountain, resisted the attack, and several good fighters went to fight in close combat. This is the most dangerous job, so you have to send your best brothers.

Zuo Tianjing knew in his heart that if this round continued, I was afraid that it would only be a lose-lose situation. But once the success is done, which character with a name and surname, a head and a face, is not stepping on the blood and tears of others and the bones of the bones. What great things can be accomplished with a soft heart? Of course, this is only the beginning of the autumn hunt, and he still has to keep his manpower as much as possible, because there is still a lot of tedious work to be done in the future.

Many sons and brothers with sparse martial arts still don't want these guards to catch their prey and rush together? If you shoot a few arrows in this way, you may be able to shoot your own people. In Zuo Tianjing's view, Wei Shi is a group of rice buckets who can't work after eating. It's just that he is like this in his heart, but he still has a few compliments on his lips.

Hua Manxi stayed sleepy in the carriage behind, and did not take another step, and asked the palace maids, who only whispered vaguely, as if they had encountered a large number of beasts. For this, Hua Manxi is not so worried, this is the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, don't look at the current manpower seems to be only a few thousand, and it is not determined how many tens of thousands of guards will follow. If you start hunting, it's okay to delay for a while. Anyway, they sit in the back, and any shock is the slightest.

The two ladies couldn't hold back, and went down to ask their husbands for a long time, and the little palace maid handed over a plate of pastries. After a few bites, I found a small note. Quietly hidden in the sleeve. The little county lord Xu is weak body, and the hot tea has never been broken, but people are wilted and have no energy. Seeing that the carriage stopped and was no longer bumpy, Hua Manxi simply persuaded her to take a nap.

Seeing that she frowned, and gradually tilted to the side, Hua Manxi gave her a soft pillow to make sure that the person was asleep, and then turned her back and opened the small note. What caught his eye was Xu Jinfei's familiar handwriting, only a few words: there are hundreds of beasts, don't panic, you can still deal with it. Take care of yourself, you have to do it soon, and you will destroy it when you see it.

Hua Manxi took a deep breath and put the note in his heart, as if Xu Jinfei's gentle words were hidden in his sleeves, ready to burn it clean at night. She also brought a few idle books to read, but to be honest, the ancient books are far less exciting and tortuous than some modern novels. However, the swordsman poet Broken Leaf who stayed in Tianxian Tower before told the story, as if he had experienced it himself, and painted the sound and color. It's a pity that he was in a bit of a hurry a few days ago, so he hung up his sword and the building, so he left in a hurry.

Although one day, maybe he will come back and take the sword, but the wonder of life is that everything is unpredictable, and seeing each other again may be a vicissitudes of life. Hua Manxi sighed softly, although he was not dissatisfied with today's rich life, and he also liked the Tianxian Building he opened, but occasionally he still felt that if he could live more freely and do what he wanted to do, he could immediately set off with a small burden, which was also a beautiful thing.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile dumbly, sure enough, it's been a good life for a long time, and she always thinks about the best of both worlds. In the distance, there was already the earth-shattering roar of a wild beast, which was very terrible and unbearable. She frowned, tore off a handkerchief, and made two small cloth dumplings, blocking the ears of Lord Shu. Lord Shu slid restlessly twice in his sleep, and finally leaned into her arms before slowly relaxing.

Xu Jinfei sat alone in a carriage, and at this moment, the door curtain was wide open, quietly watching the scene in front of him that was almost purgatory. In the previous rounds of sprints, the herd has lost about a dozen heads, and most of the remaining ones still need manpower to resist after all. It's a pity that this is not really going out to fight, and there is no giant battering ram and froon wood, which is really difficult, and it can be stacked with a number of people to defend it.

Many of the astute guards stripped off their heavy armor and wore only close-fitting soft armor, rolled on the spot, entered the herd and slashed their legs, and then climbed upward, nailing their swords into the brains of the herd, dripping with blood. The elephants wailed in pain, and suddenly let out an astonishing wail. Those guards should also pay attention, it is best not to hurt the ivory, because this is the most valuable thing, you can take it back to the palace, make chopsticks, make pens, make jade mats, all of them are combined.

If you can keep a dozen smaller ones, maybe they can be domesticated a little in the future, as a charge into battle, this is another credit. It's just that the elephants suffer in vain, and the superior ones look coldly, which is really a terrible mind. Xu Jinfei lowered his eyelids, feeling that the emperor was really unnecessary. In fact, the harvest may not be worth it, but for the sake of the so-called heavenly face, he is unwilling to back down or divert his course.

While watching, the emperor looked quite interested, and even came out of the extremely luxurious dragon head carriage, and ordered someone to set up a drum, and he himself struck it. Legend has it that when the emperor was young, he was also a vocal musician, and this is not false, the sound is like spring rain and thunder, very dense, and it can boost morale. When the voice is thin and low, it has a distant meaning, recalling the woman holding an umbrella and smiling under the spring rain.

The drum sounded for half an hour, and finally His Majesty the Emperor was tired and summoned Shen Shao to come up and beat the drum instead. This is a great honor, although Shen Shao feels that this scene is really bloody, most of the elephants have fallen at this moment, and it is a completely one-sided slaughter, but the Son of Heaven has an order and has to obey. The frown was just a moment like a dazzling moment, and then a smile was raised, as warm as a spring breeze. Shen Shao jumped up, took the drumstick, and bowed deeply to the emperor.

The emperor sat on the big chair, closed his eyes and listened carefully, and then said with a smile: "This finishing drum is also a good sound, sad but not sad." Does Shen Qing think that I am too domineering and leave no chance of life? Shen Shao knelt down and said calmly: "The minister's small knowledge is not as broad as His Majesty's, but these creatures have too many deaths and injuries, sad and painful, and the minister's heart feels something, and he can't hold back for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive him." ”

The emperor naturally will not punish him, Shen Shao is calm, he is by no means a person who tears when he sees the moon and is sentimental when he sees flowers, this is just implicitly admonishing. If an emperor can't even listen to this, then he will not be so far from the end. Just listen and do it, and since some things have been done, he will not leave himself any room for regret.

For example...... King Zhao. After thinking of him, the emperor's face turned a little pale, and he waved his sleeves, as if he was going to wave it away, invisible, and like a ghost everywhere. He coughed, as if he had suddenly grown old, and then said lightly: "It's almost, there are more than a dozen left, don't you say that you can domesticate it, keep it, some people will clean up the place." Before dark, I had to get to the place where I was stationed. ”

After everyone responded, they began to get busy again. As soon as the carriage was opened, the little girl was awakened, and she opened her eyes vigilantly, and saw that it was a stream full of flowers, and she relaxed a little. A general shot an elk, a doctor hunted a wild goose, and everyone began to hunt piecemeal, and after harvesting about dozens of prey, they rushed to the first camp at dusk. The nobles continued to rest in the carriage first, and the guards and eunuchs began to set up tents with their hands and feet.

When the time comes, the palace maids will have to go in to get the decorations, make the incense bed, and sprinkle water to clean it up a little. Hua Manxi instructed the little county lord to stay in the carriage, and he crept down and talked to Xu Jinfei. It's just that there are many people, and she doesn't dare to say anything important, so she can only ask some gossip, and said that she will get him something to eat later. In fact, the emperor summoned her, and she still had to go there to make a barbecue first.

With Huamanxi, there is also such a purpose, in the end, it is a cook for the queen, and he is not afraid that the emperor will not be used to eating wild meat. Hua Manxi was busy until the end, Xu Jinfei had already eaten and slept, the two shook hands, and hurriedly separated. She wanted to go and rest for a while, but she couldn't sleep. After a while, the rain fell tricklingly, and Hua Manxi looked up at the sky, and a snow swallow swept lightly in the wind.
