In previous years, it was rare to see Jing Cui come out to participate in the hunt, and every time he received an invitation, but most of the time he was stationed at the border pass.

Seeing Jing Cui's return, King Chu Wei was in a good mood, thinking about Jing Cui showing off. said, "Come on, come on, General Jing's hunting skills have not regressed, today this tiger is hunted by you, and it will be given to you."

Jing Cui thanked the king, and then followed the king back to the camp.

Several students from the Academy Palace followed the princes to hunt with the King of Chu, which was also a rare opportunity. They had the privilege of witnessing the pomp and circumstance of the King of Chu's hunting.

Although the royal families of the rest of the countries also hunt, their hunting grounds are in the back garden of the palace, and they can enjoy the surrounding scenery by the way, but they can't see all the grand scenes, and how can they see the grand scenery of Xiang Chu?

Prince Xiong Huai introduced to everyone with great interest: "We have seven Daze in Chu State, and we often go to only one, and the rest are not open because they are too far away and too dangerous. The one we see now is just the smallest of the seven Daze, named Yunmeng.

Yunmeng is nine hundred miles in circumference, the mountains are circling, twisting and turning, towering and dangerous, the mountain peaks are steep and uneven; The sun and moon are either completely obscured, or half obscured; The mountains are scattered, overlapping and disorderly, straight up to the clouds; The slopes of the mountains are sloping and continuous, and the rivers are connected below. And there was cinnabar, and limestone, and terracotta、......

This "Eight Hundred Cloud Mengze". It can also be called the realm of the gods, its scenery is beautiful and charming, there is a lake outside the lake, there are mountains in the lake, the fishing sails are dotted, the reed leaves are green, the water and the sky are the same color, and the heron flies. The scenery of spring and autumn is different, and there are many changes throughout the day. If you live here on weekdays, you can see the beautiful scenery of "Autumn Moon Goose in the Pond", "Yuanpu Guifan", "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", "Fishing Village", "River Twilight Snow" and so on.

From a distance, Daze is majestic and majestic, and the moonlight in the lake is soft and magnificent. Even in gloomy weather, it gives people a chic and mysterious feeling. Arouse people's interest. The blue waves are vast, and the boating lake is refreshing and pleasant, and the fun is endless.

Soon, the king of Chu continued to set off and went deeper into the mountains and forests. Thousands of soldiers and hunters followed the caravan slowly, and before they could gallop to their heart's content, they trampled on the mighty beast.

The wheels roll, trample the distance, surprise the wild horses, and wander the wild horses in the disparity of the arrows.

The chariot of the king of Chu was extremely fast, like a thunderbolt rolling, as if a hurricane attacked, like a meteor falling, if the thunder hit, Jing Cui, Zhuang Jiao and other martial arts closely followed the king's chariot and escorted him at any time.

The king's arrows were not in vain, and they all burst into the eye sockets of the beasts, or through the chest, and down to the armpits, breaking the blood vessels that connected them to the heart.

After a while, the wild beasts that were hunted were counted, and they fell like raindrops, covering the weeds and covering the earth.

Tired from hunting for a while, the king of Chu stopped wandering and walked slowly and freely, browsing the forests north of the mountain, watching the wrath of the strong men and the fear of wild beasts. Intercept the weary beast, capture the exhausted beast, and watch the beasts in all their different forms.

At night, many beautiful women sang and danced, their faces were better, their skin was delicate, they were dressed in blouses made of muslin cloth, and skirts made of linen and white juan, decorated with slender Luo Qi, and their bodies hung with soft veils like light mist. The folds of the skirt are overlapped, the texture is fine, and the lines are graceful and varied, like a deep valley.

The slender clothes in the dancing room, the skirt is fluttering, and the skirt edge is neat and beautiful; The streamers on the clothes flutter in the wind, and the swallowtail-shaped clothes hang down from the body. The body is graceful and graceful, and when he walks, his clothes and skirts grind against each other, making a sound of snorting.

The fluttering ribbon of the dress rubbed against the orchid grass underneath and brushed the feather-trimmed car cover on it. The hair is adorned with jade feathers as ornaments, and the jaws are wrapped around jade-decorated hats. Vaguely ethereal, trance-like, like a fairy.

The soldiers of the hunt watched the beautiful dances in a circle outside, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water was impassable. The large bowl of wine is poured, and the joy of singing and dancing is followed by an intoxicating sleep

The prince of Chu and the princes calmly and slowly walked up the strong embankment. Catch the emerald bird with a net and shoot the pheasant with an arrow. Shoot short arrows with silk threads and arrows with filament strings tied to them. Shot down the white swans and hit the wild geese. The partridges that were hit by the arrows both fell from the sky, and the black cranes were pierced by the arrows.

After being tired of hunting, he set up a boat and took a boat in the clear pond. Paddle a dragon boat with a picture of a crane and raise the pulp of the Katsunaku. Zhang hung a curtain painted with a jade bird, and a canopy decorated with bird feathers was raised. Use a net to catch hawksbill turtles and red shells.

Beat the golden drum and blow the pan flute. The boatman began to sing, and his voice was mournful and hoarse, and it was pleasant to the ear. The fish and turtle were horrified by this, and the flood wave boiled. The spring water gushes up and merges with the waves. The stones collided with each other, making a loud sound, like thunder, and the sound was heard hundreds of miles away.

The night hunt will stop, beat the drum, and light the torch. The chariots marched in columns, and the cavalry returned to the ranks. The procession continued to be neat and tidy, moving slowly.

So, the king of Chu ascended to the platform of Yangyun, showing a calm and calm demeanor, and maintaining a quiet and comfortable state of mind. When the food mixed with the peony was ready, it was offered to the people to taste together.

The night hunt lasted until dawn on the second day. After a half-day break......

It was time for lunch, and someone asked the king if he could go back to the palace or continue hunting.

The herald came to report: "The hunt continues, and I will return to the palace in three days......"

The crowd continued to march with the king's chariot in a revelry.

After a full day plus an overnight hunt. The people were also exhausted, and in the afternoon they were ready to cook the delicacies of the prey, and they were full of wine and food, waiting for the king's order.

Next is the hunting competition between the princes, which is more of a salvo, hunting, force and other contests.

There is no doubt that Qu Yuan, Xiong Huai, Zhao Ju, Chen Xiang, Zilan, Zhaoyu, Jing Li, Jin Shang, and the rest of the four people are in a team, and when the king gave an order, the hunt began.

For the ancients, "when the husband is alive, there are three happy things: the world is peaceful, the family is sufficient, and there is happiness; The grass is shallow and the beast is fat, hunting with etiquette, the bow is not false, the arrow is not in vain, and the two are happy; Liuhe Datong, Wanfang Xianqing, Zhang Lego Banquet, up and down Huanqiao, three music also. Li Yuanji, the king of the nest, was even more obsessed: "I would rather not eat for three days, not hunt for a day." ”

Hunting can also be seen as a military exercise. In the "Zhou Li", it is recorded that the king's four seasons of field hunting, respectively called spring search, summer seedling, autumn, winter hunting, as a ritual field hunting was inherited by later rulers Before the Warring States period, hunting was a military ceremony, a comprehensive exercise for military training.
