Updated: 2012-08-03
Among several people, Begonia has the best riding skills, shaking the reins and about to catch up, Nanning nodded her with a horsewhip and whispered: "Although your riding skills are good, your kung fu is not good, hunting is not as good as rushing, let the little guys escort you, the girl has a master." Haitang nodded hurriedly, Nanning motioned to a few small servants to protect Haitang, shook the reins to catch up with Dongping, followed Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoqi not far away, and rushed to the high mountains and dense forests in front.
It took half an hour to reach the edge of the dense forest, Su Zicheng slowed down the horse, but Li Xiaoqi rushed straight into the forest, Su Zicheng was startled, and hurriedly urged the horse to rush past Li Xiaoyi, stretched out a hand to hold her hand and the reins, and at the same time strangled himself and Li Xiaoyi's horse, the two horses were in one place, and they gradually stopped together.
"You're too bold! This mountain forest stretches for thousands of miles to the east and north, there are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in it, although the tigers and leopards at the edge of the mountain forest rarely come, but there are often black bears infested?????? You're too reckless! Su Zicheng held Li Xiaoyi's hand and the reins in his hand and taught him a lesson, Li Xiaoqi gently withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Didn't those guards already enter the forest?" With such three layers of protection and three layers of protection, even if there are black bears or something, they have already been driven away, driving away the fierce animals, and then driving the prey in, isn't this how they hunt? It's not easy to be in danger! Su Zicheng was angry and laughed: "What you said was hunting in the palace!" There is no such rule in the Tiger Wing Army, you are too smart! Follow me, don't rush at will, in addition to black bears and other fierce creatures in this forest, there are also many poisonous snakes. Li Xiaoqi was really startled this time, she is really not afraid of black bears, so many masters, what kind of bear are you afraid of, but snakes, that thing is disgusting when you look at it, not to mention that it is still a poisonous snake! Li Xiaoqi shuddered, hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Su Zicheng, and turned his head around to look for Xi'an: "You also wait, snakes or something are the most unguardable, what about Xi'an?" I saw him just now, he has a snake medicine there, let's put two pills by our side, so it's best for the snake to avoid us. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with soft eyes, pointed to both sides of Li Xiaoyi's saddle and said gently: "I have already prepared, there is snake medicine in the bag in front of this saddle, and the bag has also been soaked in medicine, don't worry, you just follow me, don't be afraid, there is me." Li Xiaoqi smiled a little embarrassedly and nodded, too, she was frightened by the word 'snake', his noble status, I don't know how many people's eyes are staring, how can he not guard against this?! Li Xiaoqi grabbed the reins and urged the horse to follow Su Zicheng into the mountains and forests.
The silence of the mountains and forests was disturbed by the people and horses who suddenly broke in, the birds and birds screamed and fluttered around, on the ground, in the forest, in the air, a piece of chickens and dogs jumped, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly turned his head and looked around to look for prey, the surrounding was chaotic everywhere, as if there were prey everywhere, but except for those surprisingly feathered birds in the air, she didn't see a beast running on the ground! Just when Li Xiaoqi twisted his head and looked around, Su Zicheng had already picked up his bow and arrows, and shot two or three arrows out in a row, Li Xiaoqi's eyes did not keep up with the first arrow, nor did he keep up with the second arrow, only to see the third arrow tail trembling and nailed to the bare roots of a pine tree, a guard flew forward, did not dismount, leaned over the horse and dragged a half-sized muntjac out, a long arrow crossed the head of the muntjac, the guard took the arrow very neatly, crossed the muntjac to the saddle, rushed forward a few steps, and leaned over to pick two fat pheasants to hang on the saddle.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide in astonishment and looked at the results piled up behind the guard's saddle, this is too fast, a while, okay, dinner is enough. Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment before turning his head to look at Su Zicheng and sighed, "This is too easy!" Is hunting like this? That Orion is too easy to be! Su Zicheng laughed at what Li Xiaoqi said, and was about to hand the bow to Dongping, when he suddenly paused, pointed to the slightly swaying grass in front of him and whispered, "Did you see that roe deer?" This thing is stupid, and it's best not to hunt it. Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, leaned forward half of his body, and looked blankly in the direction of Su Zicheng's finger, how could there be any roe deer? Su Zicheng laughed sullenly, thought about it, took out an arrow and threw it out, the arrow shaft smashed on the roe deer, the roe deer jumped out in horror, Li Xiaoqi was startled, before she could react, Su Zicheng had already shot an arrow, nailed the roe deer jumping in the air obliquely to the thick tree trunk behind, and the guards next to him rode over, bent down to pick up the arrow, and pulled out the arrow and roe deer nailed to the tree, and hung the arrow with the roe deer behind the saddle.
"So the roe deer looks like this." Li Xiaoqi said curtly, Su Zicheng handed the bow to Dongping, looked at Li Xiaoyi, and asked gently, "The first time hunting?" ”
"Well, forget it."
"I was seven years old when I first hunted, I just learned kung fu from the master for more than a year, the horse was picked by the eldest brother himself, that time was very lively, father, mother, eldest brother, the master also went, I hunted a yellow sheep, the first arrow missed, I chased the yellow sheep and ran for a long time, the arrows in the quiver were almost gone, and the yellow sheep was shot all over with arrows, like a hedgehog." Su Zicheng's words were full of nostalgia, Li Xiaoqi looked up at him, and said with a smile: "You were not in good health when you were a child!" ”
"Well, I am often sick, I refuse to eat, I am very thin, thanks to the master, I have been recuperated with medicine for more than half a year, and I have been taught to vomit kung fu, and I am slowly getting stronger, and my eldest brother can hunt yellow sheep alone at the age of four or five." Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and replied, Li Xiaoqi sighed heavily, and said slowly and sadly: "Alas! I'm a second person, it's just the first time I've hunted, and everyone has pointed out clearly, but I still can't even see a roe deer! But those who can hunt yellow sheep at the age of seven can hunt yellow sheep by themselves, and sigh that there are still people who can hunt yellow sheep at the age of four or five! You see, people are really incomparable! Su Zicheng was stunned, laughed out loud all of a sudden, and laughed for a long time before asking, "What is Ben Er?" ”
"I'm eighteen years old this year, and when I see Ben Twenty rushing up, I'm called Ben Er." Li Xiaoqi explained, Su Zicheng answered in a low voice: "The female should get married," and before Li Xiaoqi could react, his voice was much higher and then asked, "When is your birthday?" ”
"I ?????? It's not very clear, we countrymen don't remember this, go back and ask the eldest brother, maybe he knows. Li Xiaoqi knotted his tongue and replied with a vague smile, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with pity, as if he remembered something, and pointed to the distance to change the topic: "Let's take a look inside, this is the edge of the forest, there is nothing good, let's go inside and take a walk to see if we can hunt a few wild sheep, the wild sheep in this area are very famous." ”
"Good!" Li Xiaoqi simply agreed, while coveting the wild sheep, while urging the horse to follow Su Zicheng, under the protection of the Dongping people, to search for wild sheep in the depths of the forest, Su Zicheng only paid attention to Li Xiaoqi along the way, almost did not hunt anything, but Dongping them, along the way with a bow and arrows, harvesting a large and small number of prey, everyone hunted in the depths of the forest for almost an hour, the guards and the small servants were full of saddles, and the group was full of prey, and rolled out of the mountains and forests like a gust of wind.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the harvest, Su Zicheng remembered what Li Xiaoqi said, and explained with a smile: "The life of the hunter is not as good as you think, the inaccessibility here, the forest is dense and the mountains are high, and there can be so many prey, if it is inhabited, the prey will be much less." Li Xiaoqi listened attentively, nodded with a smile and responded: "It is a blessing for the people that the prince is so considerate of the people's feelings. Su Zicheng glanced at her, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I haven't eaten chicken for two taels of silver!" Li Xiaoqi was stunned before remembering the joke he had told him, hehe smiled and didn't answer, Su Zicheng glanced at her, and then said: "In the past, my mother often sent people out of the palace to inquire about the price of rice and charcoal, which was a good year, and she was also worried about the cheap grain hurting the peasants. ”
"Empress Xianxiaoci is admirable." Li Xiaoqi sighed in a low voice, Su Zicheng sighed sadly, was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Dongping and asked, "Where are you staying tonight?" ”
"Hui Ye, stay in Mulingyi, it's less than fifty miles from us." Dongping hurriedly urged the horse to reply a little earlier, Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fifty miles of riding a horse is fine, after the last rapid march, she is deeply hated and disgusted by riding a horse, although the car is also bumpy and uncomfortable, but can always spread the mattress thick, can lie down, sit and stand, hundreds of times more comfortable than riding a horse.
"It's still very early at this time, we don't have to rush too fast, it's better to go all the way slowly, you see, this mountain is verdant, the scenery is excellent, such a scene, talk all the way, look at the scene, but also leisurely." Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile, Li Xiaoyi's mind turned quickly, he nodded paradoxically while laughing, and stroked the prey behind the guards with his hand and smiled: "I think it's better to rush to Mulingyi with a fast horse, there are a lot of things, these prey have to be cleaned up well and carefully, it takes a lot of effort, I was thinking about this just now, let's stew a soup with wild pheasants tonight, well, the stewed soup is better than using wild pigeons, plus mung beans, pigeon mung bean soup, delicious and hot, better than wild pheasant soup, wild pheasant ?????? Be a chicken? I don't know if Dayu will do it, wild sheep, let's roast and eat, or do you want to shabu the mutton pot? And also?????? I have to discuss it with Dayu to see if he has any better ideas, so let's hurry over, otherwise it's really too late, what does the prince say? Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and laughed when he heard this, and agreed while laughing: "Okay! Depending on you, you'll take care of our meals tonight. As he spoke, he waved his hand to Dongping, and Dongping hurriedly passed the order, and the group urged the horsepower and rushed to the Muling Station.
