139, a thousand mountains reflect snow (2)

Feng Miao had indeed never participated in the hunting, and on a whim he waited for the little eunuch to say >

"The immediate kung fu of our emperor and the princes is excellent, this hunting is to have as many prey as possible. Lions and tigers should be fierce and difficult, while white foxes and hares should be clever and not easy to catch, which is interesting. Seeing that Feng Miao was young and kind, the little eunuch began to talk endlessly, "In the ice and snow, those prey that hide in winter should have been lured out. But animals don't understand human nature, and no one can guarantee that tomorrow will be able to attract it. In case when the emperor shoots with a bow, he doesn't even have a tanuki or pheasant, wouldn't it be a disappointment? ”

"So you've got these things ready for tomorrow morning?" Feng Miao took a few steps forward and looked at the tiger in the cage. The tiger suddenly smelled the smell of life, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a deafening roar that shook the snow on the top of the pine trees.

The little eunuch glanced at the cloak with gold thread embedded in Feng Miao's body, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of this lady, these beasts are wild, in case you hurt the lady's noble body, the small one can't afford to have this head." ”

Feng Miao knew that he had good intentions, so she stopped moving forward, and asked, "Did these beasts catch them from Baishan Mountain?" ”

The little eunuch replied with a smile, "Niangniang is often in the deep palace, I'm afraid I don't know the situation outside, the princes and nobles in Pingcheng usually like to hunt, and there are a lot of them, so they simply raise some fierce beasts in their own garden, and ask special people to tame the beasts." These beasts are all from the hands of dignitaries, and I heard that they are for the emperor to hunt, who dares not to take them out. It's just that I'm afraid that the emperor will see it, so I deliberately picked some wild ones that are still wild and have complete teeth and claws. ”

Feng Miao let out an "oh" and took a few steps back before turning to leave. Honeysuckle watched the tiger grinding its paws in the cage, and couldn't help but ask, "Are those pheasants and hares to be fed to the tiger?" She saw that the hares were so cute that she could not bear to let them be devoured by the tigers.

"Those are for the young princes to shoot and play," the little eunuch smiled, "This tiger does not eat livestock, and it is afraid that it will scare the girl, so it is better not to ask." ”

When he said this, it aroused Honeysuckle's curiosity, and even Feng Miao stopped, looked at the little eunuch and said, "Since you have talked about it, you might as well get to the end, listening to half of the words, it is really uncomfortable." Let's just listen to it, and forget it. ”

After all, the little eunuch didn't dare to disobey Feng Miao's words, and half-bowed down and said, "Fierce beasts raised with ordinary poultry and livestock will always be afraid of people after a long time, and hunting will be less interesting." But this tiger is specially fed with children of seven or two years old, and its wild nature will not be tamed, and when it is released into the hunting ground, it is not afraid of human ......."

Before he could finish his words, Honeysuckle had already called out an "ah". Feng Miao's face also changed, but the sky was getting darker, so she couldn't see it, she asked calmly, "How can anyone be willing to let their own children feed the tigers?" ”

"It's all the children of the offended family, or the beggars kidnapped on the street, such children, one more or less, no one cares at all," the little eunuch is usually dedicated to serving beasts, not common people, and his ability to observe words and colors is also a little worse, and he didn't notice Feng Miao's strangeness, "Besides, this tiger can't be fed, it is only fed once every three or five days, from buying to hunting, at most ten days, one or two children are enough." ”

Feng Miao didn't remember how she walked back, only that she walked all the way down the mountain, still holding the clay pot firmly in her hand, which contained snow water carefully collected from pine branches. It wasn't until she reached a big stone in front of the door of the Forgotten Worry Pavilion that she stopped, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the clay pot fell to the ground, and the bones rolled out for a long distance, and the snow in it spilled out.

She walked as fast as she could, and Honeysuckle hurried after her, and only barely caught up until here, holding her arm and asking, "Niangniang, are you okay?" It's all my fault, shouldn't have asked......"

Feng Miao walked in a hurry, her face turned red, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead wrapped under the hood. She sat down with her hands on the boulder, and she just wanted to retch, "Do you ask, those things have happened, but we just pretend not to know." Honeysuckle was afraid that she would cough and wheezing, so he helped her loosen the strap on the cloak a little, and was afraid that the cold wind would rush into the warm-up, so he wanted to start a wind chill, so he comforted her softly and helped her back to the Forget Worry Pavilion.

This night, Feng Miao didn't sleep very well. Tossing and turning, sweating all over, getting up to look at her in the honeysuckle night, I heard her vaguely call "A-Niang......"

Early the next morning, Feng Miao really felt a little sour and weak on his body, but on the first day of hunting, according to the etiquette, the emperor needed to shoot the first arrow with a bow, and the concubines and palace dependents had to accompany him. Feng Miao thought that she was just sitting in the carriage, it didn't matter, and she didn't want to alarm others, so she still asked Honeysuckle to put her in a simple bun and put on a few more clothes.

Before leaving the door, she felt uneasy for no reason, hesitated again and again, but still took a dagger and caged it in her sleeve.

Tuoba Hong wore a black narrow-sleeved bearded robe, rode on a horse, removed the usual dragon pattern brocade robe and jade belt, and only hooked a circle of cloud patterns with gold thread on the cuffs and hem of the robe. He is tall and tall, faintly exuding a dazzling heroic spirit. Except for one hand, which still hangs down at his side, it looks impeccably perfect from a distance.

There are so many accompanying palace concubines, only Feng Qing is alone, and he has often followed his father and brother out to hunt since he was a child. She also changed into a royal blue hunting suit, and instead of riding a carriage, she rode a maroon pony with a tuft of white hair on her mane, which looked like a handful of snow from a distance.

Feng Qing proudly followed Tuoba Hong's side, and said with a smile, "Qing'er is going to hunt a rabbit with her own hands today and make soup for the emperor." ”

The ritual of hunting still follows the customs handed down by the ancestors of Xianbei. When the auspicious time comes, the sorcerer-like man comes forward with dancing hands and feet, wearing antlers, decorated with goshawk feathers, skewering animal bones and animal teeth around his neck, holding a brass bell in one hand and a wooden drum in the other, and chanting words in his mouth.

Tuoba Xian, the king of Shiping, knelt on one knee, raised a golden arrow above his head with both hands, and asked Tuoba Hong to open his bow and shoot the first arrow. Not far away, the Feather Forest guards gradually gathered around, gathering a few elk and wild horses in the middle.

Tuoba Hong put on the bow and held his left hand quietly, his arm was indeed injured, but the injury had already healed, at least there was no problem with the bow and arrows. The pinched fingers were silently released, and Tuoba Hong smiled and nodded to Tuoba Xian, the king of Shiping, who immediately put his hand on the back of his hand and borrowed some strength from him so that he could pull the bowstring.

There was a "whoosh" sound that broke the air, and the golden arrow in the emperor's hand flew out of the air, and a male deer fell to the ground in response. As the arrow flew out, the wizard's mouth erupted like a mist of wine, igniting a bonfire on the ground. The Xianbei sons who were waiting in a queue roared with joy, and the emperor's personal guards stepped forward, cut off the antlers of the stag, and hung them on the side of the saddle.

Feng Miao lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out. Against the endless white background, Tuoba Hong, dressed in black, smiled brightly. The rising sun shone from behind him, casting a golden glow on his shoulders. Surrounded by thousands of people, he looked down on the land and his courtiers beneath his feet. This beautiful mountain and river belongs to him......

The nobles of the clan were already eager to try, and when the emperor shot the first arrow, they couldn't wait to beat their horses and gallop out. The king of the North Sea, Tuoba was ruthless, his legs were clamped between the belly of the horse, and he rushed into the dense forest with his guards.

The ladies got out of the carriage at this time to see the excitement, and seeing Feng Qing riding a horse and following Tuoba Hong's side, Lu Qingran "snorted" disdainfully, but he couldn't say anything. If her riding skills are good enough, she is willing to follow the emperor, even if she can't hold a bow and shoot arrows.

The people and horses of the clan relatives and nobles gradually dispersed far away, and the king of Shiping, Tuoba Xian, walked to Feng Miao's carriage and whispered, "Brother Huang asked me to come and ask, what does the imperial sister-in-law want, he will hunt it for you." ”

Feng Miao raised his eyes and saw Feng Qing pull his bow and shoot an arrow, but he missed his head and didn't hit anything. Not knowing what she whispered, Tuobahong laughed and took her hand, correcting her bow-pulling posture. Feng Miao suddenly felt a layer of tiredness in her heart, shook her head and said, "Thank you prince, the concubine doesn't want anything, please ask the emperor and the prince to just have fun." ”

The eunuchs and guards were releasing the pre-prepared pheasants, and blowing birch bark whistles to attract the deer in the mountains. I don't know what worked on it, and a few tigers slowly came out of the woods. At first, there was one, staring at the deer whistle from a distance, and then three followed, staring at the tiger's eyes and confronting people.

Feng Miao looked out from inside the carriage, several tigers were about the same size and appearance, and intuitively, they seemed to be the ones who were locked in the cage last night. She remembered the words of the little eunuch, and her heart was upset, but she couldn't help but stare at the tigers, and her fingers couldn't help but clench the curtain of the car.

Those tigers were really not afraid of people, and gradually gathered and surrounded them. Tiger hunting was much more dangerous than hunting birds and hares, and Tuoba Hong whispered a few words to Feng Qing, telling her to go back to the guards first. The close guards beside the emperor raised their bows and arrows from the left and right sides at the same time, aiming at the tigers.

The well-trained guards slowly pulled the bowstring...... Before an arrow could be fired, the tigers suddenly jumped forward and rushed straight towards Tuoba Hong. The guards were scattered, and there was not even a person around Tuoba Hong, and in a moment, he raised the scimitar in his hand to block, and at the same time quickly turned over and hid under the horse's belly.

The horse that paid tribute to Rouran was instantly torn into flesh and blood by the tiger, and Tuoba Hong's right arm was also pounced on by the tiger's claw with a deep bloody wound, but fortunately, the whole person was not pounced on by the tiger. Feng Miao's eyes widened as she looked at the bloody scene in front of her, and the smell of blood in her nose made her almost vomit.

The tigers, who seemed to be interested only in Tuoba Hong, missed the blow, but still surrounded him, forcing him to the edge of the cliff, ignoring the others and their prey.
