1. The spring is cold and the cliff is still warm Chapter 42 The four sons compete for the deer

On this day, it was the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the fourth prince invited Zhao Yingqi to hunt in the north of the city.

The place of hunting is the northwest of Tongying Mansion, more than ten miles downstream of the source of the river, because there are many hot springs at the source of the river, and the river water gushing out is warm all year round, so the Tonghe River in the cold North Zhou will not be frozen, and it is very rare to see the lush branches and leaves in winter near the source of the river, and the aquatic plants are abundant, it is one of the most important horse pastures in the Zhou country.

Also accompanied by Princess Yongle Lian Qingmeng and Li Yuanbai's daughter Li Qingfang.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Yingqi went to the competition to recruit relatives was set up by Li Qingfang without telling her father, and her father directly locked Li Qingfang in the mansion after knowing about it, and then removed the recruitment ring, so Zhao Yingqi did not see this Li Qingfang the day before yesterday. As for the fact that the last champion who stayed in the ring was scared away by Li Yuanbai's two arrows, it was just a joke...

Li Qingfang and Princess Yongle are of the same age, because of the relationship between their father and the emperor, they have been playing with Princess Yongle since they were children, and they are a pair of very good sisters. Today, the princess and Li Qingfang are both dressed in women's riding clothes unique to the Zhou Kingdom, with strong clothes, waists, tight wrists and leather boots, but Li Qingfang and the princess are slightly different.

Li Qingfang is very beautiful compared with the princess who "can't afford it", with a fair complexion, a white complexion and a red complexion, just like a plum blossom with its own dark fragrance, there is a kind of girl's innocence but with a hint of mature charm.

Of course, the princess is not inferior at all, but it may be a little late, in fact, the princess is the most beautiful as long as she does not speak. The two daughters have their own merits.

followed by the princess and Li Qingfang, as well as the bald man Ding Feng... That's right, it's Ding Feng.

The day before yesterday, Ding Feng and Zhao Yingqi decided to take refuge in Li Yuanbai, and after informing Li Yuanbai of everything, Li Yuanbai and Ding Sanquan, a veteran of the Yue Kingdom, have also been friends for a long time, and Ding Feng explained that although he could not heal his injuries with the taboo chapter of Xingyiyou, he hoped that Li Yuanbai, who had practiced Xingyiyou all year round, would guide him in his follow-up practice.

The four princes brought fifty Ning Wang Wei, the princess also brought twenty internal guards with them, these soldiers will help the prince and princess drive away the prey when hunting, the winter of the Zhou country is long, the weather is cold and frozen, there are many animals that migrate from the north or nearby near the source of the river to spend the winter, because of this, the source of the river is still the famous hunting ground of the Zhou country.

The group found a relatively gentle place to camp by the river, it was almost noon, Princess Yongle begged the four princes for a long time to go out hunting, and the camp that was already preparing to live and cook had to be suspended, ready to hunt back and eat some game.

But at this time, the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince actually came one after another, and the camp suddenly became lively, and two or three hundred people spread out a camp of four or five acres by the river.

The four princes were very unhappy, they originally wanted to have a good time with their sister outside, and they could also win over Zhao Yingqi, but I heard my sister say that Zhao Yingqi had actually become one of the top armors, and now Zhao Yingqi's master and servant The two head armor masters are very attractive targets for any country in the world, not to mention that the four princes are just a prince.

Coincidentally, the other three princes also came over together after hearing the news.

Among the four princes, the relationship between the four princes and the eldest prince is the worst, a few days ago because of the brawl with the third prince, the relationship became very stiff, only the second prince belongs to the kind of eight-sided exquisite temperament, so the camp of the two people is in one place, but Zhao Yingqi was stopped by Princess Yongle and camped with her.

For Zhao Yingqi, this is fine, otherwise these four princes will go toe-for-tat with each other, and it will be really difficult for him to choose who to camp with, after all, the matter of seizing the heir is the most difficult to deal with.

In the afternoon, the hunt finally began, and Zhao Yingqi, who was already a little hungry, couldn't wait to start quickly, so that he could eat wild meat as soon as possible.

The four princes actually started to compete with each other in a small game of how many prey they had when the accompanying guards helped drive away the prey, which made Zhao Yingqi very unhappy that they didn't take themselves to play...

What to say, Zhao Yingqi is already a master of the first armor, and he is inseparable with a female god of war by his side, and the competition with them is really a bit of a big bully.

Speechless, obviously the four brothers are older than Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Yingqi had no choice but to be bored and ride a horse with three beauties to enjoy the scenery.

"I heard that Mr. Zhao has already entered the first armor, and the day before yesterday, he defeated Captain Ding in the ring of the little sister, but I don't know why he left?" The four of them were already slightly familiar with each other after talking for a while, and Li Qingfang was also quite interested in Zhao Yingqi.

"Miss Li, don't make fun of it, now I don't know which one of your fighters in the ring is competing with Old General Li Yuanbai, how can you be the opponent of General Li, the god of war." Zhao Yingqi replied with a wry smile.

That's right, Li Qingfang was hiding from Li Yuanbai, according to the customs of the Zhou Kingdom, the last champion of the martial arts ring should be the woman's Chenglong fast son-in-law, which made Li Yuanbai, who knew about it, very angry.

But the woman's family can send a person to compete with the champion in the end, Li Yuanbai himself handed over the decree and did not unload the horse directly on the stage, Zhang Si steel lance to the horse hanging, took off the round blade giant bow and put on two iron arrows to scare the champion away.

"This daughter slave." Zhao Yingqi secretly slandered himself.

According to custom, Li Yuanbai is not a violation of the law by doing this, but as the four princes said, there are very few masters in the head armor, and it is inevitable that the big will bully the small in person.

If you have the ability, you should educate your young lady.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingqi couldn't help but look at Li Qingfang a little, this girl looks down-to-earth and generous, and it seems that she is also a pink and black character, otherwise how could she do such a mischievous thing.

This scene was seen by the princess, and she quipped: "Yo, what is Mr. Zhao peeking at?" Don't you really look at my family's beauty, it's interesting? Do you regret getting out of the ring now? ”

Zhao Yingqi was choked and rolled her eyes, speechless, and decided to ignore this unruly princess.

"Even if my husband doesn't come down from the stage, it doesn't matter, that old man hasn't beaten before." This is Zhao Tong speaking for her husband.

"Oh, yes, yes, Miss Tong and General Li Yuanbai are called the gods of war, I think I won't be angry, but your husband's name of 'eating soft rice' can't be taken off." The princess is still as poisonous as ever.

"Nonsense, my husband led 30,000 troops to block that old man in Chun Nei Dao, where is there anyone afraid of him."

"Xiaotong, don't say it, we're on other people's territory." This was said in a way that made the princess unhappy.

"Mr. Zhao is naturally very powerful in using soldiers, and my father told my little sister more than once yesterday that if Mr. Zhao can join my Da Zhou as an official, he will definitely have a bright future." Li Qingfang was not angry because Zhao Tong said that his father was an old man.

In fact, she calls him dad that's what she calls him at home.

"Yes, what if Mr. Zhao stays in Da Zhou as an official? The head armor master is directly starting from the third grade in the Great Zhou, and with the name of Miss Zhao's 'Female God of War', she will become the first female general in the history of the Great Zhou. ”

I saw it, Zhao Yingqi saw it, these two people didn't even bring guards, and they followed themselves to walk around the river to find out the wind for the old emperor.

Otherwise, the old emperor issued a decree to reward him like the emperor of Shuo, but he was abandoned by Zhao Yingqi and the others, what a shame.

The princess kicked the horse's belly, walked a few steps to Zhao Yingqi's side, and quietly asked, "How?" When the time comes, I can still let Miss Tong teach me martial arts. ”

There was a hint of anticipation on the little face.

At this time, the four princes were hunting on the grassland three or four miles away, and I think it was the emperor who gave them a breath and did not come to disturb the princess and Li Qingfang here.

A very beautiful deer appeared on the edge of the hunting ground, and when the four princes saw it, they thought that it was very good to make a small cloak for Yongle, although it was not very expensive, but it was a thought.

The four princes know their sister best, and they like their hearts rather than values.

The four princes drove their horses away from the large group, and opened their bows and arrows to shoot the deer, but the deer was very spiritual, and the four princes stayed still when they opened their bows, and only suddenly jumped away when the four princes shot arrows.

The four princes did not finish their work with one arrow, so that the other three princes saw it, and burst into bursts of laughter, the four brothers fought for the throne, and almost everything in life could be compared, and this hunt was no exception.

The other three princes also gave up their prey to participate in the deer hunt.

The deer was very agile, jumping up and down the hunting grounds, dodging several arrows, and running west into the woods by the river.

The bow and arrow in the woods were difficult to work, and the speed of the horse could not be raised, so the four princes had to chase after them from afar with more than a dozen personal guards, at this time it was no longer a simple deer, but it seemed to be the storage position they were fighting for and even the throne of the Great Zhou.

Coincidentally, I don't know if it's providence, the direction in which the deer escaped was Zhao Yingqi and his party.

The princess was following Zhao Yingqi and babbling some difficult words, but in Zhao Yingqi's understanding, it was just "Da Zhou's welfare is good", "I can support you", "Da Zhou will give you a room", "free medical treatment above five grades, and secondary reimbursement above three grades", etc., such an understanding in her heart caused Zhao Yingqi to laugh, and her eyes were full of happiness.

Just when the princess looked at Zhao Yingqi's face with a smile on her face and wanted to confirm whether he was insane, a deer came out of the woods by the river.

This deer stood with a pair of ears that were shaking back and forth, probably listening to the movements around him, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yingqi and the four of them.

When the princess was about to praise the deer for being so cute, Zhao Yingqi took the bow she was carrying from the horse behind the princess, and drew two arrows from the quiver on the princess's leg, and according to the inherited memory of archery essentials, put both arrows on the bow, and aimed at the deer fifty paces away.

This is actually Zhao Yingqi's first archery, or the first archery in Zhao Yingqi's life in the twenty-first century, but I have to say that the original Zhao Yingqi in the Shen Twenty World is indeed worthy of being a martial arts wizard who can be among the top armor at the age of twenty-one, and archery with a bow has almost become muscle memory, and basically does not need too much guidance from Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Yingqi thought about seeing Li Yuanbai's "Double Dragon Out of the Water" archery technique in Chun Nei Dao, and wanted to try it.

The princess originally wanted Zhao Yingqi to let go of this fawn, but when she turned her head and saw that Zhao Yingqi actually learned Li Yuanbai's Double Dragon Out of the Water, she subconsciously closed her mouth, and also wanted to see how much Zhao Yingqi could learn.

Zhao Yingqi squinted his eyes slightly, poured a trace of internal force into the two arrows in his hand, and as soon as his fingertips loosened, the two arrows flew out.

Interestingly, neither arrow flew straight towards the deer fifty paces away, the top arrow had a parabola, and the lower arrow flew out in a slight arc from the left.

The arrow on the top came first and was dodged by the deer, but the arrow on the left came right in the direction of the deer, and with an arrow through the throat nailed the deer to the grass by the river, and the limbs were still fluttering.

"Where did you learn General Li's 'Double Dragon Out of the Water'?" The princess looked at Zhao Yingqi in surprise.

And Li Qingfang, who was next to the princess, was even more surprised, there are not a few people in this world who can shoot two or even three arrows at a time, but only his old man Li Yuanbai can be famous all over the world, because Li Yuanbai's "Double Dragon Out of the Water" and "Three Knocks on the Pass" can not only achieve changes through the combination of iron arrows and wooden arrows, but also the combination of internal force and archery, during which there are many changes, even after practicing for so many years, he can just achieve "Double Dragon Out of the Water" can hit at the same time.

There is such a change in archery method, which really makes Li Qingfang doubt himself a little.

As soon as Zhao Yingqi put the bow in his hand back behind the princess's horse, the four princes rushed out of the woods with people.

Seeing the deer on the grass, before the four princes could speak, Zhao Yingqi preemptively congratulated the princess on hunting the first prey of the day, and said that he drove the horse forward to pick up the deer and take it back and hang it behind the princess's horse.

Although the princess usually looks a little nonsense, she also knows about the competition for the storage position between the four royal brothers, thinking that Zhao Yingqi has some scruples, but she doesn't say much.

Li Qingfang asked herself if she was not a party, so naturally she didn't talk much.

The four princes looked at each other, and thought that they should have a good conversation, and remembered what the emperor had told them, so they left one after another and returned to the hunting grounds.

I don't know if it's providence, or if it's as it should be:

Lian's country is the only one,

The four sons are chasing each other.

There is Zhao Gongxia's ingenious fun,

In the end, he will return to the society and not be a minister.
