Chapter 15: The Fox

The golden eagle is difficult to be tamed, and Mo Hou Ye also spent a lot of patience to tame a golden eagle back then, and Mo Yan's Ao Teng is the cub of Mo Hou Ye's golden eagle, and Ao Teng followed Mo Yan after leaving the nest. Mo Yan took good care of it and named it Aoteng, and he brought the golden eagle to the capital ten years ago. Aoteng usually keeps it in the east courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and when Mo Yan goes out of the city, he will take it out to let it out of the wind, so that it can enjoy the freedom to soar.

"Optane, go!"

Oteng received the command, flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye, and soon it reappeared in the air, and there was already a red-tailed fox under its claws. Mo Yan touched a piece of meat and fed it to it, and gave the command again.

"Oteng, find a deer, go!"

The two of them spurred their horses to follow closely in the sky, and after a while, it spotted the figure of the deer, and immediately circled twice in the air and quickly dived down, plunging into the depths of the dense forest in the mountains. Mo Yan raised his whip to urge the horse, the stirrups were retracted inward, he tightened the horse's belly with all his strength, pulled the reins steadily, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!" ”

The creeping scene below him received the command, tensed his body and exerted his strength, raised his front hooves high, and the hind hooves soared into the air, leaping steadily over the raised and disorganized roots of the trees, and rushed in the direction of the fall of the aoteng like a lightning speed.

"Little Hou Ye, be careful!"

Wen Jian's equestrian skills were not so skillful, Mo Yan galloped far behind him, and he reached out to play with the branches and leaves in front of him, trying his best to narrow the distance between the two.

When golden eagles hunt sika deer, they usually fly low over the deer herd, causing them to flee in all directions. Then, the golden eagle will choose a lone or young prey to attack, landing on the back or neck of the prey at the right time, and piercing the skin and even internal organs of the prey with its sharp claws. In the end, the golden eagle clung to it until the prey fell.

When Mo Yan reached the hillside, he saw from a distance that Oteng had clung tightly to the back of its prey, flapping its wings to maintain its balance, and was in a stalemate with the lone sika deer, waiting for it to break free and fall to the ground.

"Optane, back!"

Optane does not react, it puts all its attention on its prey, although the process is laborious, but hunting is the nature of birds of prey, and even taming it cannot be changed.

At this moment, the frightened deer suddenly gathered and ran back, and the sika deer, which was dying and struggling, suddenly began to exert force, and Mo Yan raised the reins and rushed to the hillside.

"Optane, come back!"

Mo Yan shouted the golden eagle and blew the bamboo whistle again, but Ao Teng still held on to his prey without a trace of slackness or fear.

Wen Jian had already rushed to Mo Yan's side, and he could see that the situation was not good. The hillside was already moving slowly, and the deer were approaching, and it was almost too late.

"Oh my God, it's going to hurt if it goes on like this."

"I'll help it."

Without hesitation, Mo Yan raised his bow, put an arrow on the string, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot the arrow steadily.

"Straight to the deer's head, it's too accurate."

Wen Jian shouted excitedly, his blood boiling, something he hadn't felt in years.

"Optane, back!"

Seeing that the prey fell to the ground, the golden eagle released its claws and circled in the air and flew back, landing on Mo Yan's shoulder. Mo Yanyang spurred the horse to pick up the prey on the ground, and he placed the hunted sika deer on the horse, his face overflowing with the joy of shooting and harvesting, and he was usually indifferent.

"Let's go, go back."

Wen Jian caught the red-tailed fox that Mo Yan threw over, tied it to the horse with the pheasant before, and the two slowly rode back, the atmosphere obviously felt much more relaxed, and they spoke more casually.

"Little Marquis, are these prey enough?"

"Aoteng will hunt a few roe deer back, it likes to hunt roe deer the most, every time it catches too much, Brother Cheng and they are tired of eating, and in the end they can only send it to the restaurant for nothing."

Wen Jian was a little incredulous, Mo Yan actually said so many words to him, like a close friend who had known him for many years.

"This golden eagle is really free, Wen is so envious."

Wen Jian looked at the boundless sky, looking at its carefree appearance, and he also added a lot of happiness.

"Your surname is Wen, do you know Miss Wen San from Qiongzhou?"

Wen Jian was slightly stunned, he didn't want to hide it, otherwise he wouldn't have reported himself.

"Don't dare to hide it from the little Marquis Mo, it is Wen Jian, the second son of the Wen family in Qiongzhou, and Wen Ye is my third sister."

"It's interesting, I didn't expect to have a lot of friends."

Mo Yan's expression was as usual, and Wen Jian couldn't tell his joy and anger for a while. Wen Jian has been doing business and opening shops for the past three years, and he has often dealt with people, and he has already learned to be left and right, but today he wants to be sincere.

"It was Wen who forced it up, but fortunately, Brother Yan didn't dislike it."

Wen Jian smiled embarrassedly after speaking, he hadn't even mentioned Wen Ye about this matter, but today somehow, he actually said it in one go.

"Haha, then you have to talk to Brother Cheng, he is the most pestering."

Mo Yan didn't care, but made fun of him, and Wen Jian was very useful for his conversational conversation.

"Ashamed, ashamed."

Cheng Nuanxin waited for half an hour, his heart was haggard, and when he saw the two of them returning in high spirits, he almost cried with joy.

At this time, all the gentlemen who couldn't stay in the restaurant also rushed over, Tang Rao saw the sika deer on Mo Yan's horse from a distance, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he couldn't believe that he would be so much worse than Mo Yan.

The people of Jingshan Hunting Ground counted the prey on both sides, and there were only two hares and a pheasant on Tang Rao's side, which was really different. As a result, Tang Rao really couldn't calm himself, he didn't want to waste his right hand in vain, so he could only mess around unreasonably.

"Mo Yan, you are cheating, what is the matter with the golden eagle?"

"Don't spare you, shameless! What's the deal with your four hounds? ”

Where could Cheng Nuanxin endure Tang Rao's direct call to Mo Yan, if it weren't for the gentlemen holding him, he would have rushed over and punched Tang Rao in the face.

"Can a hound compare to a falcon?"

"You have the ability to get a falcon too!"

"Yes, you can only come, I'm not afraid of you!"

The crowd couldn't look at it and stepped forward to discuss, Tang Rao wanted to deny it sincerely, but it was impossible for Mo Yan to ignore his nonsense.

"Second son Tang, are you willing to gamble and lose, but you still want to repay your debts?"

"You and I have no grievances, why do you insist on abolishing my right hand?"

Tang Rao blushed his face and put his right hand behind his back to protect him desperately. Mo Yan frowned slightly, his face slightly displeased.

"There's no reason, I just want to, do you do it yourself or do it for me?"

"Mohiko! You ......"

Before Tang Rao finished speaking, Mo Yan had already pulled out his sword, flew forward and grabbed Tang Rao's right wrist, his wrist holding the sword turned slightly, Tang Rao's right tendon had been cut by the sword, and the blood flowed, causing Tang Rao to fall to the ground in pain.

"Mohiko! You're deceiving people too much, we'll see! ”

Tang Rao's cousin was furious but could not do anything, so he could only put some cruel words and settle the account in the future.

"If you are willing to gamble and lose, you can rely on your ability, what can you do to me?"

Mo Yan shook his hand, forcefully swung away the blood stains on the blade, and put the sword into the sheath in one go. The subordinates of the Tang family stepped forward one after another, lifted Tang Rao up and put him in the carriage to stop the bleeding, and galloped away in the direction of the capital.

Mo Yan quietly walked behind Wen Jian and whispered in his ear.

"I also have to trouble Gongzi Wen to go to the medical hall in the capital to watch, to make sure that his tendons will not be connected again."

"Definitely!"

Wen Jian bowed, admiring Mo Yan's decisiveness just now, he had long heard that Mo Xiaohou was good at riding and shooting, but he didn't expect that this swordsmanship was also first-class.

The crowd walked away from Tang Rao and cheered loudly, they have been bullied by Tang Rao in recent years, and today Mo Yan is angry for everyone, which is really happy.

Mo Yan was also in a very good mood today, and ordered the people in the Jingshan Hunting Ground to arrange for everyone to shoot, and arrange everything to go straight to the inner courtyard to change into clean clothes.

A few horsemen who were good at riding and shooting entered the Jingshan hunting grounds, ready to come back with some game. The rest of the sons gathered under the tree, looking at the golden eagle resting on the branches, and the novelty was full of joy.

"It's really beautiful and majestic, but it's as obedient as a parrot in the hands of Little Marquis Mo."

"Optane is a falcon, not a bird that loves to call."

"Optane? Haha, you are so affectionate, no one is birding you. ”

"Hahaha!"

Cheng Nuanxin was almost pecked by Ao Teng when he touched his hand before, and he didn't dare to approach anymore after that, he had nothing to do and ordered the next life to support the pot and invite the chef of Zhen Restaurant to cook these wild games on the spot.

Wen Jian stood not far away resting against the big tree, watching the gentlemen laugh and ride into the hunting ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When the spring breeze is proud, galloping horses to chase prey, bathing in the sunshine in and out of the forest streams, unrestrained in talking and laughing and forgetting everything, not knowing what time is and what is money, no sorrow and worry, it is really a blessing in life."

In this time of peace and prosperity, these sons are lucky and happy, and this kind of life looks good, but they themselves are not sure when the pleasure given to them by the sect family will come. If you don't firmly grasp your destiny, you can only enjoy the wealth in front of you, but you can't become the master of your life. Compared with Wen Jian, a businessman who works hard day and night, I really can't say who envy anyone more, it's just that everyone has their own suffering.

Cheng Nuanxin put down the prey in his hand and walked over, Wen Jian helped a lot today, and he handed over this banquet brother's best friend today.

"Thank you Brother Wen today, the little marquis hasn't been so happy for a long time, if you have time to come to get together often in the future, we are always welcome!"

"Definitely."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Cheng Nuanxin hummed a tune and went to work on his game again. Wen Jian looked at his frankness and smiled, this kid is really as Qing Xian said, enthusiastic and easy-going, innocent and innocent.

"It's good to be young! Once upon a time, I was also the one who beat a musical instrument and drank wine, sang with a sword on his back, rode a white horse and stepped on a falling flower, and casually chanted some heroic and handsome verses. Haha, it turns out that I have had such a youthful experience, what else is there to envy! ”

"Wen Gongzi is quite emotional today! Don't you go back to Beijing and stare at the hospital? ”

Mo Yan didn't know when he stood behind Wen Jian, he took off his heavy hunting costume and changed into a cyan riding costume, half scattered his silver hair, holding a dagger in his hand and playing with it casually, Yushu was full of vitality in the wind.

Wen Jian raised his head slightly, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he suddenly figured out something, and he was even more curious about Mo Yan in front of him, so he saluted back.

"Wen has already arranged it, and he wants to stay and beg for venison to eat."

"Young Master Wen, I'm afraid it's not as simple as eating venison, and if you want to talk about it, you have to show some sincerity."

Mo Yan suddenly stepped forward, Wen Jian was not in a hurry, his back hit the tree hard, although he was half a head taller than Mo Yan, but his momentum was three points weaker.

"Thank you for your help today, I will be a ...... in the next day."

"Stop! Tang Rao's trip today was also arranged by you, I heard that he suffered a skin injury to the back of his hand a few days ago, but he took a few days off at home, and I remember that he was not so expensive. ”

Wen Jian saw that his plan was easily debunked by him, and his frustration made him very unhappy, but he had always been old-fashioned, calm and calm, and his emotions were not affected in any way.

"Little Marquis Mo really ......"

"Flattery is avoided, I am annoyed to listen to it."

Mo Yan turned his back to Wen Jian, his brows furrowed, he knew that his emotions were out of control again. He flicked his hand irritably, and thrust the unsheathed dagger into the ground, the scabbard was not drawn, but the blade was completely buried in the ground.

"Wen Ye is my sister, she was bullied, I should have asked Tang Rao to get it back, today I arranged for him to fall off the horse and lose his arm, but I didn't expect the little marquis to stand up for her, but it was very surprising to me."

Wen simply stood up, his words extremely sincere, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his deep eyes.

"Gongzi Wen is a smart person, you don't need me to tell you about it, you know better than me whether she is your sister or not."

Mo Yan had calmed down the restlessness in his heart at this time, his expression returned to normal, and all the sharp words shot into Wen Jian's heart.

"Wen understands, please rest assured, I only think she is my third sister, and I only don't know about today's events."

Wen Jian glanced at the dagger that had been buried in the ground, and was glad that it was him who came today instead of the eldest prince Wen Yan, otherwise the Wen family would probably have a lot of trouble in the future.

"Good."

Mo Yan sent Wen Jian away with a faint smile, Cheng Nuanxin paid attention to the two of them for a long time, and when he saw Wen Jian saying goodbye and leaving, he hurriedly ran over to ask for clarification.

"Brother Wen, why did you leave? When I asked him where he was going, he laughed and didn't answer. ”

"Stay away from him, Brother Yan's best friends are all old foxes."

After Mo Yan finished speaking, he patted Cheng Nuanxin's shoulder and walked towards the golden eagle, but Cheng Nuanxin chased after him without knowing what he meant.

"Fox? The fur of the red fox you caught is really beautiful and soft to the touch! ”

"You let people handle it and send it to Gongzi Wen tomorrow."

Mo Yan licked his slightly dry lips, today's trip was really not in vain, it was really interesting.

"Where?"

"Wen Family Medical Center."

Cheng Nuanxin's eyes were wide open and his mouth was half-open, and there were shareholders in his head who were about to come out.

"Wen Family Hospital? Gentle? He is the son of the Wen family in Qiongzhou, oh my God! Are we being taken advantage of today......"

"Haha, it's not stupid."

Mo Yan smiled heartily, this kid is not too stupid, but he can't talk about using it, and he just ends up in the same place.
