Chapter 174: Wounded (Medium)

Before dawn the next day, there was a noise, and Huizhu took Hongli out of the tent and looked at the people who were walking non-stop in the distance. At this time, the Eight Banners who participated in today's hunt came out of the camp one after another and gathered near the city of Kancheng on the highlands of three or four miles to the southwest.

After a while, I saw an ant-like crowd in the distance, lined up in pairs, and several large yellow flags waved in the wind, as if directing the remaining seven flags. The red and white flags and the yellow flags waved again, and the soldiers in the colors of the two flags extended around with the red and white wings, and the soldiers in the blue flag costumes pressed down on their feet.

Then, when the first encirclement flag was about thirty or forty miles long, the red and white flags suddenly closed, and the bright yellow flag changed its form again. In this way, the first encirclement was set up, and then the second encirclement was concocted in the same way, and it was soon set up. In another blink of an eye, all the soldiers took off their hats in unison, raised their horsewhips in unison, and the chant of "Marge" resounded all over the world.

Huizhu's mother and son looked at the children of the Eight Banners in the distance without blinking, and a kind of shock and heroic feelings extended from the hearts of the two.

For a while, a well-dressed eunuch was running and called from time to time: "Ouch, Niu Hulu Fujin and Little Brother, I can be regarded as looking for you, long live the lord is going to drive to see the city, you should go with the slaves." Huizhu was shocked to realize that she had forgotten the time, and on the side of the imperial tent, she was the lowest mother and son, all of them were one head taller than them, and they couldn't go late.

Huizhu pulled Hongli and hurried to the imperial tent, just in time to see the blue flag general rushing straight over and asking Emperor Kangxi to come to see the city. Huizhu and the eunuch of Xianhui glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat in their hearts, but fortunately they caught up.

Ming Huang's imperial tent was lifted, Emperor Kangxi walked out of the tent, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed, until Emperor Kangxi rode on the cloth, the eunuch shouted "up", Hui Zhufang and everyone got up, and walked with Emperor Kangxi's imperial chariot to see the city.

It didn't take long to come to the city to watch, the so-called city view, in fact, it is only the yellow curtain set up in the open place, and the felt tent is set up in the hoove, and the Kangxi Emperor sits inside to watch.

In the yellow curtain of the city, only Emperor Kangxi or his close ministers can be inside, and according to the identity of Huizhu's mother and son, they can stay in the outermost place and stand. However, this did not affect the mood of the two, the last time Huizhu came, there was no chance to get out of the tent at all, and she couldn't see this famous Mulan Qiudi, not to mention standing in the place where she watched the city, overlooking a group of Eight Banner soldiers; And Hongli is also the first time to see such a scene, he has already been enthusiastic, wishing that he is one of the soldiers who set up a circle, even if these soldiers of the Eight Banners who set up a circle are guarding shoulder to shoulder, and their duty is just to prevent the beast from escaping, he is also willing.

Emperor Kangxi stood up from the throne and looked at the Eight Banners team, in an instant, the old eyes suddenly lit up, and his blazing eyes stared straight at him for a moment, Fang nodded with satisfaction, picked up a musket from the tray held by the little eunuch on the side and fired it into the sky.

There was a loud "bang", and the children of the Eight Banners raised their whips and shouted. This ceremony, which was supposed to be carried out by Emperor Kangxi across the horse to chase the beast, followed by the princes and ministers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Tiger Spear Battalion, and only the Kangxi Emperor shot and hunted to show the exclusive respect of the Son of Heaven, because the Kangxi Emperor was sixty-six years old, and was replaced by the sudden sound of gunfire.

Emperor Kangxi put down his gun and returned to the tent, and the hunt began, and the royal family, princes and nobles rode horses to hunt. Those who participated in the hunt regarded the paddock as a battlefield, and they fought bravely to be the first to fight the beasts.

Before long, I saw the flag hunting, and the waves were magnificent; I only heard the war horses trampling, and the sound shook the grassland.

The onlookers all held their breath and stared intently at the thrilling "battlefield".

Hui Zhu's heart was raised to her throat, her hand was on her chest, and she couldn't help but feel excited when she looked at the figure of Yinzhen chasing after her on horseback. Hongli also saw Yinzhen, and for the first time in his eyes, he flashed admiration for Yinzhen, and he was so excited that he pulled down Huizhu's cuffs without looking back, pointed to the front with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Eniang, look, it's Ama, Ama is chasing the wolf, it's the wolf, it's the wolf, it's the shot, it's the shot." Huizhu looked back at Hongli angrily, did not speak, and looked at the paddock with a nervous face.

Now the hunt has been carried out for more than three hours, it is almost time for Mingjin to withdraw the troops, Emperor Kangxi has been a little tired, just ordered the end of today's hunting, I listened to Hongli shouted excitedly, but for a while he was interested, so he beckoned and asked: "Xiao Hongli is so happy, do you also want to hunt?" ”

Hongli reluctantly pulled back his gaze, raised his head heroically and replied: "Grandson wants to be like Amma, riding and shooting beasts." Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh" and said: "I really think so, do you know that you are small now, and you can ride and shoot well?" Hongli nodded proudly and said: "My grandson learned to ride and shoot at the age of six, and I learned firearms from my sixteenth uncle, and I even learned from my twenty-first uncle, who is good at riding and shooting, and my grandson will definitely be able to hunt." As he spoke, he looked back at the vast grassland, the astonished roe deer, and the eagle soaring in the sky, swallowed his saliva, and resolutely knelt down and begged: "Please allow your grandson to hunt now." “

Emperor Kangxi has been good at riding and archery since he was a child, and he was ambitious as a young man, and at this time he saw Hongli with an arrogant face, as if he had seen himself back then, and Hongli's riding and archery kung fu was indeed excellent, so he said "good" three times in a row, and directly agreed: "Come on, take Hongli down to change clothes, and today I am waiting to open my eyes." ”

When Huizhu heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, and sure enough, Yinzhen said that the cause of the cross-horse hunting was asked by Hongli himself, not by Emperor Kangxi, which made her so depressed, and couldn't help but think that when the hunting was over, she would have to train Hongli well, but she didn't know that Emperor Kangxi had decided to let Hongli go hunting since the day he left Beijing, and now it was just a matter of time in advance.

After a while, the soldiers of the Eight Banners once again showed Emperor Kangxi the effectiveness of their training, as the hunters caught the prey and drove back, the soldiers of the Eight Banners in the circle had been ordered to collect their troops, and the people who participated in the hunting also got off their horses to see the city. A eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, but now report the number?" ”

Emperor Kangxi stopped his hand and said: "Wait a little longer, wait for Hongli to ride and shoot the beasts, and then report the number together." After that, he turned his head to look at Yinzhen and said with a smile: "Fourth, I was also eight years old when I rode and arched, and today's Hongli of our view has a posture of being better than blue, and this initial design will definitely not lose to me back then." Yin Zhen stood aside with his hands down, heard it, took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and said: "Huang Ama is the Son of Heaven, Hongli is only a yellow-haired child, how can he compare with Huang Ama." ”

"Report-", just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a general coming, Emperor Kangxi took a break from the conversation, and said: "Say! The general replied in a loud voice: "Look at the woods within a radius of dozens of miles of the city, there is a big bear, please make a decision." ”

When the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, and even more people had already stepped forward to ask for orders to hunt the bear, and for a while, the group was agitated and the discussion was enthusiastic.

At this time, Hongli had changed his riding clothes and came on a horse, and happened to hear everyone talking loudly, and a young man's heart was suddenly intense, and he didn't even want to think about it, so he blurted out directly: "Shoot the bear, Hongli is also willing to try." Shi Po's shocking words shocked the scene for a moment, and everyone was stunned, and looked at the source of the sound in a daze.

I saw a young man in a strong suit, with a carved feather on his right and a bowed bow on his left, riding on a black BMW with a bright coat, and driving towards him with a confident smile. The horse progressed, and before the holy car, the young man leaned back slightly, kicked his right leg, and then turned over and dismounted neatly, took two steps forward, knelt on his left knee, and saluted: "Sun Er Hongli see Huang Ma Fa." When the sound fell, everyone woke up and looked at it, but this sturdy young man was the little brother of Prince Yong's Yinzhen family, and he couldn't help but applaud it.

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand to let Hongli get up, and before he could speak, another man in a python robe stepped forward and arched his hand: "The rules of the ancestors are that hunting bears at the beginning is an excellent omen, and the sons see that Hongli's nephew is a young hero, and he is willing to hunt bears, why not fulfill Hongli's nephew's wish and let him shoot bears." After these reminders, everyone came to their minds, and the originally noisy and lively scene was also cold.

Emperor Kangxi's eyelids narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at the person with an inquiring eye, and did not answer for a long time. Hongli knelt on the ground, and saw that someone asked for his life, but he couldn't reply, his heart was anxious, and he didn't see Huizhu who was directly looking at him, so he simply asked for his life again: "Please Huang Mafa let his grandson give it a try." ”

After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi suddenly smiled, raised his hand and said: "Lao Jiu, you get up, what you said is also reasonable, the first hunt for a big bear is indeed an excellent omen." Speaking of this, the words changed sharply, and he said majestically: "Hongli obeys the order, and now orders himself to lead a team of guards to shoot the bear." Hongli clenched his fists, forcibly suppressed the boiling of his heart, and said crisply: "Chi! ”

Hongli, Da Xiong, Huizhu kept flashing in her mind, only to feel that her eyes were dark, and she was about to fall down, but she heard the call of the word "E-Niang", so she could stabilize her mind, and she was supported by Xiao Ranzi, looking at her with horror on her face, but only one of the most familiar figures was left for her, and the words that drifted with the wind "E-Niang-waiting for her son to hunt the big bear--to you-"

Everything happened too suddenly, there was no time to react or stop, Hongli had already galloped away across the horse, and everyone knew that this eight-year-old boy had already received the order - to shoot the bear with a bow on his back.

followed by anxious waiting, Emperor Kangxi accompanied everyone against the noon sun, waiting for the boy who shot the bear not far away. Huizhu was also waiting, waiting for a long time numb, at the moment when Hongli left, she was no longer able to support, only relying on the support of the two palace maids behind her, she stood up, looking at the direction of Hongli's departure, and did not say a word for a long time......

I don't know how long it took, just when Huizhu thought she would wait like this forever, the horses' hooves came one after another, accompanied by the roar of "woo", galloping towards the city.
