The next day, the weather was clear, and Xiao Wenzi came over early in the morning, saying that the emperor had invited Lin Ruhai to have breakfast together.

"The emperor got up so early?" Lin Ruhai asked the following and asked Lin An to give him a purse.

Xiao Wenzi took the purse and said with a smile: "Lord Xie Lin's reward." The emperor was in a hurry before dawn today, and he was in a good mood. ”

"Alright, you go back first, I'll go over when I'm done here." Xiao Wenzi was about to quit, and listened to him again: "Wait, let Lin Xing bring you some pastries, get up so early, you must not have eaten, let's pad your stomach first!" ”

Xiao Wenzi smiled even more toothlessly, and nodded again and again, "Thank you, Lord Lin, I thought, the slave is hungry right now!" "Xiao Wenzi is not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, people love to laugh, his eyes are narrowed into a slit when he laughs, and there is a small dimple on his round face. Although Xiao Wenzi is particularly clever and intelligent, he is pure and kind in heart and sincere to others, so he won the blue eyes of Shi Gonggong and recognized him as a godgrandson. Lin Ruhai also likes him very much, always treats him as a child, Xiao Wenzi also respects Lin Ruhai very much, knows that Lin Ruhai really feels sorry for him, and takes special care of Lin Ruhai in the palace.

Lin Ruhai quickly finished washing, and after cleaning up, he immediately went to the big tent where the emperor lived.

"If the sea is coming, come and eat." When the emperor saw Lin Ruhai coming, he beckoned him to come for breakfast. Lin Ruhai sat next to the emperor according to his words, and the two had breakfast together.

The food was silent, the emperor and Lin Ruhai quietly finished breakfast, and the palace maids served tea.

"Ruhai, I'll go fox hunting with me later, I must hunt one this year."

"Weichen obeys," Lin Ruhai got up and bowed down and said: "Actually, Weichen also wants to hunt a fox to make a scarf for Neiko, but I'm afraid that Weichen is not good at learning, so I didn't tell her before I came." Saying that, Lin Ruhai's ears were slightly red.

"Hahaha...... It's all about you, Lin Ruhai, love your wife like your life, and now I'm really convinced! Well, if I hunt a fox, I'll reward you, so that you can have a long face in front of your beloved wife. ”

"The fox that the emperor personally hunted can be given to Neiko, which is a big face." Lin Ruhai also said with a smile.

"I heard that you've been practicing kung fu riding and archery for almost a year, so I'll see how you practice later."

"Wechen is stupid, that is, I want to strengthen my body, and I don't dare to show my eyes in front of the emperor, but I can get the emperor's guidance, and Wechen will also benefit a lot."

"Hmmm! I can't teach you in terms of knowledge, but I still have some confidence in this kung fu riding and shooting. ”

"The emperor is too modest! Weichen once heard his father say that the emperor is smart and studious, and his poems and articles are unique! ”

"That's a good teacher! When I was a child, I was very skinny, and only the teacher could teach me patiently, and I could only listen to the teacher's lessons at that time. ”

"The emperor and Master Lin have a deep master-apprentice relationship, this is the fate of the two of you!" Gonggong Shi said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai also said: "My ancestor is also proud to teach a student like the emperor!" ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, with a look of nostalgia on his face. Then he looked at Lin Ruhai and said with relief: "The teacher is also a successor!" ”

For three days in a row, Lin Ruhai followed the emperor and never had the opportunity to go to Wild Deer Valley. Lin Ruhai was calm, and Xiang Xiaoqin was a little impatient here. She asked the captain of the guard again, "Why haven't you done it for three days?" ”

"Yu Niangniang, the Wild Deer Valley has been arranged, but Lin Ruhai has been following the emperor these days, and he has no chance to go to the Wild Deer Valley!"

"He won't follow the emperor all the time and not act alone, right? So what about our plan? Xiang Xiaoqin frowned.

"Probably not, right? According to the practice of the old year, if there is a competition in two days, when the time comes, it will be how many prey you hunt by yourself, and Lin Ruhai will definitely be alone! ”

"However, Lin Ruhai is a Wenchen after all, and he is not good at riding and shooting, he won't care about this!" Xiang Xiaoqin bit her lip and hesitated again and again: "Otherwise, if you create an assassin ambush or something, let him be injured at that time, and Lin Ruhai will also be able to save the driver." ”

"By no means, if there is a case, how many of our heads can bear the responsibility." The captain of the guard shook his head repeatedly.

"So what do you say? I only have one chance, and I will never give up! Xiang Xiaoqin's eyes were full of determination, she must get Lin Ruhai!

"Wait a few more days, the time of winter hunting is half a month, and we still have a chance!"

Xiang Xiaoqin couldn't think of anything for a while, so she had to agree to wait a few more days.

The captain of the guard here had just left Xiang Xiaoqin's tent, and two people over there went to report to their master. One is Dark Twenty-Seven, who went to Lin Ruhai to report Xiang Xiaoqin's conversation with the captain of the guard today. The other is the palace maid next to Zhao Jingjing, named Jinhua

Jin Hua ran to Zhao Jingjing's side and whispered in her ear: "The slave saw a guard enter Xiang Meiren's tent, and it took two quarters of an hour to come out. ”

"Seriously?" Zhao Jingjing almost shouted in surprise.

"What the slave saw with her own eyes is true!"

"Okay, you shameless vixen, I said why does she have to come with her, this is to meet a lover outside!" Zhao Jingjing sneered, "You find someone to keep an eye on, if the guard goes again, you will come and report it quickly." ”

Lin Ruhai knew that Xiang Xiaoqin had the idea of jumping off the wall in a hurry, and for the emperor's comfort, he decided not to wait any longer. He asked Dark Twenty-Seven to continue to stare at Xiang Xiaoqin, and then invited Dark One to ask him to go to Wild Deer Valley to inquire first.

After another three days, when Xiang Xiaoqin was about to wait, the emperor was satisfied with a fire fox, and announced the start of the winter hunt, until the end of the winter hunt These days, the one who hunts more prey wins.

Lin Ruhai was riding on a horse, carrying a bow and arrow and quiver, and a short knife pinned to his waist. He followed the route given by the dark one the day before, avoided the location of the trap, and came to a pond in the Wild Deer Valley alone. Many deer gather here to drink water and rest.

Lin Ruhai quietly dismounted, stroked the horse's head, and signaled it to be quiet. Then Lin Ruhai took off his bow and put on the arrow, and quietly approached the group of deer, feeling that the distance was about the same, he released an arrow at a male deer that had been targeted for a long time, and the male deer and its agility sensed the danger, Ma Shan made a move to escape, but it was still a step too late, and Lin Ruhai shot his body and fell to the ground. After the deer were frightened, they scattered and fled, and Lin Ruhai immediately made up another arrow and shot it at the male deer who fell to the ground and was struggling.

Lin Ruhai walked up to the dead stag and was very satisfied with the results of his first hunt. He took out a strip of cloth with his name on it from his bosom and tied it to the head of the deer, indicating that he had hunted it, and that the guards would come to help him drag it away.

Lin Ruhai got on his horse and looked around, determined the direction, and headed in the direction of the trap.
