Chapter 195: Royal Winter Hunt
On the second day of the Winter Festival, a team of tens of thousands of people left the palace, and the emperor, the crown prince, the vassal king, and the civil and military officials and their retinues went to the royal hunting ground 300 miles away under the escort of 6,000 elite royal forest troops.
Every year during the winter season, the emperor would organize a winter hunt, when the snow had not yet fallen, and all kinds of prey were fat and strong, which was the perfect time for hunting.
According to Ye Yunyang's level, he can bring three entourages, namely Dongfang Yixue, Wu Junyan and Yin Zishi.
Dongfang Yixue wore a purple diamond necklace around her neck, which was very conspicuous, it was the prize that Ye Yunyang won in the Youth Competition yesterday, and he gave her a gift for the Winter Festival that night.
Wu Junyan and Yin Zi were in high spirits, and the two obviously misinterpreted the meaning of the word retinue, they wore clothes that were brighter than the "master", rode a tall horse that was even more powerful than the "master", carried a well-made longbow on their backs, and occasionally flattered the little palace maids.
Ye Yunyang said that he was very angry, even if he was robbed of the limelight by others, he actually lost in the hands of these two guys, it was really faceless, and there was a short bow that looked extremely ordinary hanging on his saddle, because he didn't know how to shoot arrows at all, so he chose such a bow casually, and compared with the equipment of the two guys, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
"You two be honest with me, even the palace maids are molesting, don't die!" he glared at Wu Junyan angrily.
Wu Junyan hurriedly withdrew his flattering eyes, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Ye, don't worry, we are just having a good time, and we will never dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, fornicating with the palace maid is a felony of killing the head, we know." ”
Ye Yunyang said angrily: "It's good to know, if you two can't control the thing in your crotch, leave the team and return to the imperial capital now." ”
Yin Zishi said: "Don't worry, we will be able to control it." ”
Because the team was too large and the speed of travel was limited, it took a day to walk three hundred miles, and it was not until evening that it came to the outskirts of the hunting grounds, and the forward battalion had set up thousands of tents of various sizes, and arrived one step ahead of the fire, and the army had already prepared dinner, and everyone could eat after the tents had been allocated.
Ye Yunyang was divided into two tents, one large and one small, he walked around the tent and said with a smile: "Junyan and Zishi, you two live in a small tent, and Yi Xue and I live in a big tent." ”
The two guys said they had no opinion, but Dongfang Yixue had an opinion: "Why do I want to live with you? No, the three of you live in a big tent, and I live in a small tent alone as a girl." ”
She knows best what bad ideas Ye Yunyang has in her heart, of course she won't give him a chance to take advantage, and he will be criticized in front of so many people.
Ye Yunyang said in an unquestionable tone: "The things I decided can't be changed, the big tent is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, you live in the inside and I live outside, the Qing doesn't need to care what others say." ”
He is serious on the surface, and his heart is ready to sneak into the room in the middle of the night, he misses the feeling of falling asleep with a beautiful woman in Wild Bear Mountain a few months ago, so long at most is pulling small hands, kissing-kissing-mouthing, this kind of behavior can no longer meet his requirements, it is necessary to enhance the relationship more deeply.
Dongfang Yi Xueqiao's face was flushed, she wanted to refuse but didn't know what to say, at this time Liu Yuying came over and said, "Sister Dongfang, my tent is very big, and I don't want to live with the palace maid, you come and live with me." ”
She nodded without thinking, "Okay." ”
Ye Yunyang glared at the little girl, and said in his heart, you did it on purpose, you can't see me and Yi Xue alone.
She did it on purpose, not only did she take Dongfang Yixue away, but she didn't forget to show Ye Yunyang her purple diamond bracelet when she left.
After dinner, the Imperial Forest Army sent Ye Yunyang three pots of standard feather arrows, a total of 90 pieces, and the arrow shaft was engraved with the words "Ye Yunyang, Duke of Anping County and General of Fulin".
The inscription on the shaft of the arrow is to facilitate the identification of the ownership of the prey, a prey is shot to the ground, the archer does not have to catch up, and it can be handed over to the side of the Imperial Forester, and the Imperial Forest Army will take the prey away in time, according to the text on the arrow shaft.
If a prey has arrows with different marks on its body at the same time, make a judgment based on the distance of the arrow hitting the vital part to determine the ownership of the prey.
This is a very fair practice, according to the hunting rules in the winter hunt in the winter hunt the most prey, whether it is a civil minister, a military general or a nobleman, will be rewarded by the emperor, the most common practice is that the civil and military officials are promoted to a higher level, and the nobles increase their fiefs.
Because of this, everyone attaches great importance to the annual hunt and hunts as many games as possible to get the chance of promotion.
The strictest of the regulations is that the retinue is not allowed to use the master's feathered arrows, but can only hunt with arrows without any markings, and the prey obtained cannot be counted in the master's total hunting, nor can they participate in the final evaluation.
After knowing this regulation, Ye Yunyang laughed happily: "Junyan and Zishi, you two guys, what's the use of bringing such a good bow, it's useless for you to hunt a bunch of things, not only do you have to pick up the prey yourself, but you can't participate in the competition, wahahaha." ”
The two of them drooped and pulled their faces, and Wu Junyan said angrily: "It's really unreasonable, isn't the entourage human, why don't you give us a chance to perform?"
Yin Zishi echoed: "That's right, it's not fair at all. ”
Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "If you have any opinions, you can go to Your Majesty to raise them, provided that you have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty in person." ”
Wu Junyan glanced at him and snorted: "You're happy, you can't shoot arrows, and it's a shame that you can't hit the last prey." ”
Ye Yunyang stopped smiling, stretched out his hand and pointed to his head and said, "Anything in the world can't be done by brute force alone, you have to rely on your brain to understand?"
With that, he turned and walked into the tent.
Wu Junyan and Yin Zishi glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "Hard mouth, I haven't heard of hunting with your head." ”
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Ye Yunyang was having breakfast when Liu Yuying walked in from outside and threw a heavy bronze helmet in front of him.
He was stunned: "What are you doing, I never wear a helmet, you know, although this thing can protect the head, but it seriously affects the vision, today is hunting and not fighting, there is no need for this thing." ”
The little girl said seriously: "Don't you want to hunt with your head, hit your head directly without wearing a helmet, and you can't hit your head and break the bloodstream, I'm doing this for your good." ”
"Brain...... Head?" His eyes widened, "Who told you I was going to hit my prey with my head, crazy!"
The little girl tilted her head and said, "Your two sworn friends said it, and they swore to promise me that you said it yourself last night." ”
"I'll wipe it!" Ye Yunyang raised his foot and kicked his helmet to the side, and said angrily: "You also believe this, they are stupid, are you too?"
Liu Yuying smiled and said: "I really want to know how you hunt with your head, they told me that you can't use a bow and arrow, you can't even shoot a grass handle ten meters away, even if the prey rushes in front of you, you ......."
"I would smash it with my fist and plunge the arrow into the body of my prey. He shouted outside angrily: "The surname Wu, the surname Yin, you two hurry up and roll in for me, and Yi Xue, I'm going to assign a task." Girl, you can go and leave Xiaoqiu behind. ”
Liu Yuying's eyes widened: "Why, Xiaoqiu wants to follow me." ”
His eyes were wider than hers: "Do you still have the kung fu to take care of it when you play with it, what if you can't take care of it and fall off the horse and get hurt?" So it's better to leave it to me, why are you ......here, Your Majesty?"
Liu Yuying was fooled, and when she turned around, Xiaoqiu was snatched away by Ye Yunyang.
"Okay, you lied to me. The little girl didn't give up, and at this time the voice of the eunuch sounded outside: "Lord Yuying, the prince asked me to call you, let you hurry back to prepare, the hunt is about to begin." ”
"Got it, let's go back. Liu Yuying didn't forget to explain before leaving: "If Xiaoqiu has any accidents, I won't spare you." ”
Outside the tent, people shouted and neighed, and everyone set off for the hunting ground one after another.
The hunting grounds were surrounded by tens of thousands of royal guards, who sounded their war drums and horns, and frightened the beasts that hid in the grass and holes.
Ye Yunyang They were the last people to leave the camp, and Wu Junyan and Yin Zishi had a lot of opinions: "Brother Ye, you don't know how to shoot arrows and don't have to give up on yourself, what are we doing with so many rope nets, are we hunting and not fishing, are these things useful?"
There are four large cloth bags hanging in front and back of the saddle of the two, and you can vaguely see the rope nets made of thick hemp rope, each of which weighs dozens of catties.
Ye Yunyang said with a mysterious face: "I can't tell you yet, you just need to know that I can hit more prey than everyone else today, remember that I am the master, you are an entourage, and the entourage only obeys orders, and has no right to express opinions." ”
The two of them smiled bitterly at each other, thinking that they could gallop in the royal hunting ground for a day, but in the end, they were the entourage of Ye Yunyang who asked for money.
Dongfang Yixue frowned and asked, "What is my mission?"
Ye Yunyang said without thinking: "Set up the formation." ”
He looked down at Xiaoqiu in his arms and said, "Today's task is very arduous, everyone has to show twelve points of spirit to complete, and the most important link is not you, nor me, but it." ”
The beauty shrugged, not understanding what he was talking about.
The others were chasing the prey that could be seen everywhere, and only the four of them walked farther away without hurrying, and let the prey run past them without giving them a second look.
King Zhao appeared not far away with his son Liu Wenkang and a group of officials, he squinted his eyes and observed for a while, and asked, "What is the kid surnamed Ye going to do, why is he turning a blind eye to the prey around him?"
Prime Minister Zhao Tong analyzed: "I heard that he is not good at archery, so he should dig traps, but there are so many prey here, and the hunting time is only one day, it is useless to dig traps." ”
Liu Wenkang said in a mocking tone: "Dig a trap, if he comes up with it, his wishful thinking will definitely fail, father, are we doing things according to the plan?"
King Zhao looked at his son and asked, "Are you sure you want to do that, right?"
Liu Wenkang nodded solemnly: "I want to take revenge, please ask my father to fulfill it." ”
King Zhao stretched out his hand and took out a feather arrow from the quiver on the right side of the saddle, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, there is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, since you have to kill the opponent with one move." ”
Liu Wenkang took the feather arrow, and the handwriting on the arrow shaft was clearly visible in the sun: Ye Yunyang, the Duke of Anping County and the general of Fulin, said with a straight face: "Father, rest assured, the child will definitely choose the best time to shoot." ”
