Before I knew it, I had come to the foot of Qishan Mountain.

The small peaks in front of him are not very high, but they are just the remnants of Qishan. It is still about 20 miles away from the core area of Qishan.

Meng Tian ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and found several places with abundant water sources and set up camps.

After the rectification, Meng Tian sent several small troops to guard several important passages in and out of Qishan, in order to achieve the goal of sealing the mountain.

Several teams set off one after another, and it is expected that it will take a day to arrive at their respective destinations one after another. Ying Zheng ordered the remaining subordinates to repair in place for two days, and sent a team to investigate the hunting grounds.

It is said that it is a hunting ground, but it is not really fenced, but a very eye-catching mark is arranged at intervals, so as to enclose a general area, which is convenient for hunting and prevents getting lost.

It was getting late, and Ying Zheng came to Princess Hu Yu's tent.

"Hu Yu has seen the king." Princess Hu Yu bowed lightly.

"Why do you still call the widow the king?" Ying Zheng pretended to blame, "You are the princess chosen by the widow, you have to call the king, otherwise you will be angry." ”

Princess Hu Yu grinned: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"That's right." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "When you were in Yongcheng, you only tried to shoot the target with the widow, and the widow was not convinced, and now that you have arrived in Qishan, how about we compare riding and shooting, and hunting?" ”

"Okay." Princess Hu Yu was very happy, "However, even if you compare, the king will still lose." ”

"I don't know how to know." Ying Zheng pursed his lips and said, "If you shoot accurately at a fixed target position, it doesn't mean that you can shoot accurately at the prey that runs." ”

"How about making a bet?" Princess Hu Yu said confidently.

Ying Zheng felt a little weak in his heart, but he still stubbornly said: "Bet on it, bet on what?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet." Princess Hu Yu said, "I'll talk about it when I'm ready." ”

"What if the widow wins?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"The king can also think about it." Princess Hu Yu said a little playfully.

"Well, tomorrow morning, we'll go on a safari." Ying Zheng said.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ying Zheng came to pick up Princess Hu Yu, and the two rode on horses and took them away to the center of Qishan.

Ying Zheng did not bring too many guards, only the second watch, the third watch and twenty light cavalry.

Only by bringing a small number of people can the assassin take advantage of it, if Yingzheng wants to lure out the person who intends to assassinate, now is the time.

Ying Zheng has the experience of hunting himself, but not a lot, and the skills of riding and archery are also very good. The combination of the two can only be said to be just getting started.

The reason why he made a bet with Princess Hu Yu was purely to make Princess Hu Yu happy, besides, he was a king, and he couldn't afford to lose.

The group walked on horseback, the trees were not dense, and the slope of the ground was not very large.

Suddenly, several small rats appeared from the ground in front of them, as if they had just come out of their burrows, going out to forage for food, or burrow into other burrows.

Ying Zheng only heard a swish in his ear before Princess Hu Yu's voice came: "Your Majesty, look at it." ”

Ying Zheng reacted at this time, and the moment he saw the rat, Hu Yu had already shot an arrow.

The speed of the arrow was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had shot over the big rat running in front.

Seeing that she had shot the rat, Princess Hu Yu tilted her head and rode towards the rat who was hit by the arrow.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This is to shoot a giant rat as small as a target, if it is a person, where to run.

When a man is about to marry a wife he can't beat, his heart will be furious.

Ying Zheng urged the horse to chase after him, and at the same time praised Princess Hu Yu's archery skills.

Probably because the rat was dirty, Princess Hu Yu didn't pull out the arrow, turned her head and said to Ying Zheng: "This is not a mounted shooting, it's just that the target is moving." ”

With that, Princess Hu Yu urged the horse to continue walking.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then followed.

The lead guard marked the route at the rear, and another team followed the marker to answer at any time.

Ying Zheng and Princess Hu Yu walked side by side in front, but except for the rat just now, they didn't find any other prey.

Passed through a col with a forest in front of it.

Entering the woods, the group continued on their way. The guards in the back were noticeably more vigilant than before.

When she was about to walk out of the woods, Princess Hu Yu whispered to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, there is a fawn in the left direction ahead. ”

Ying Zheng looked where she was, and sure enough, he saw a half-sized deer eating grass. It may be that I haven't eaten tender grass for a long time, and the fawn eats very attentively, and I don't notice that anyone is approaching at all.

Sou......

An arrow was shot a few steps in front of the fawn.

The fawn was frightened and hurried out of the woods.

"I did it on purpose, let it run for a while." Princess Hu Yu said, "Drive! ”

Before Yingzheng could speak, Princess Hu Yu rode her horse and galloped out.

Ying Zheng shook his head, and then followed.

Of course, the fawn can't outrun the adult steed. The distance is getting closer a little bit.

Princess Hu Yu opened her bow and set up an arrow, and another arrow shot out quickly.

As if sensing danger, the fawn suddenly changed direction while running, and was able to dodge the arrow.

Princess Hu Yu looked at Ying Zheng and said, "It's your turn." ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, picked up the bow, and wound the arrow. However, it took a while to shoot the arrow.

This arrow is a bit bigger. Shooting the head of a deer and shooting a deer's leg are already very different in archery, and Yingzheng's arrow is still ten steps away from the deer's leg.

"Hehe......" Princess Hu Yu covered her mouth, but couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, the widow throws in the towel." Ying Zheng said.

"Is this a towel?" Princess Hu Yu said, "The deer hasn't been shot yet." ”

Ying Zheng raised his hand and motioned for Princess Hu Yu to continue.

Princess Hu Yu slowed down her horseback and said to Ying Zheng: "This woman's bow doesn't fit her hand, so borrow the king's bow and use it." ”

There are not many bows used by women, and what Yingzheng prepared for Hu Yu is a short bow used by teenagers to practice, and the tension is not very large.

Ying Zheng handed his bow to Princess Hu Yu.

Princess Hu Yu took the bow, weighed it, smiled, and continued to urge the horse to gallop.

This time, Princess Hu Yu took out two arrows.

Sou......

The first arrow landed less than two steps in front of the fawn's head, blocking the fawn's path.

Just when the fawn was frightened and stopped to change the direction of escape, the second arrow had already flew.

The neck of a fawn in the middle.

The fawn fell to the ground, kicked its hooves a few times, struggled a few times, and then did not move.

The two of them drove their horses to the fawn.

"This time the widow can admit defeat." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"It's a little simpler this time." Princess Hu Yu said, "Why don't we have another round?" ”

“……”

At this moment, not far ahead, two wolf howls were heard from the woods on the mountain.

"Whew......"

More than two dozen war horses became irritable at the same time.

Everyone suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly stabilized the war horse, and the guards who followed behind also urged the horse to rush to Yingzheng.

A wolf is not terrible, but wolves live in packs, and when one appears, there must be a pack behind it.

Two wolves sprang out of the woods, drooling and with fierce eyes, as if they hadn't eaten in days.

"There are also on the side!" One of the guards shouted.

Sure enough, two vicious wolves also sprang out of the mountain forest on the left.

Since there is one on the left, everyone looks to the right.

Sure enough, there are two on the right side.

Ying Zheng felt that something was wrong, and when he looked closely, he found that each wolf had deep strangulation marks on their necks. It is estimated that he has been kept in captivity for a period of time.

The six wolves howled at the same time, as if to signal each other, and then rushed towards Ying Zheng and the others at the same time.

Sou......

A cold arrow suddenly shot and hit the neck of the military horse that Princess Hu Yu was riding, and the war horse roared and fell sideways.

Princess Hu Yu reacted quickly, first put her hand on the saddle, jumped on the ground, and rolled, not letting the war horse crush her under her.

"There are assassins, protect the king!" Seeing this, the guard officer shouted loudly.

It's time to come, it's still coming.

All the guards drew their swords at the same time and looked around.

Ying Zheng drove his horse to Princess Hu Yu and stretched out a hand.

"Come up." Ying Zheng said urgently.

Princess Hu Yu grabbed Yingzheng's hand and jumped on horseback.

More than a dozen guards raised their shields to protect the outside. A few bows and arrows were left and shot at the wolves that were rushing towards them. Another lit a pine torch to relay the message to the rear.

A round of arrows flew out, and only one fell headlong. Obviously, the archery skills of these guards are also far from that of Princess Hu Yu.

Princess Hu Yu snatched Yingzheng's bow and drew her arrow feathers.

"Control the horse." Before he could finish speaking, an arrow had already shot out.

A wolf on the right fell to the ground with a wail.

The shooting of his companion did not make the wolves flinch, but rather ran more fiercely.

Ying Zheng was in the middle, his war horse was better, but the war horse on the periphery was a little panicked and showed uneasiness.

At this moment, several more horses fell to the ground.

A shield can protect a man, but it can't protect a horse.

Princess Hu Yu also shot two vicious wolves in an instant.

And the remaining three heads are already very close.

Several of the guards whose horses had been shot stood up and ran towards the wolf.

The three wolves were naturally no match for the heavily armed guards, but at the same time as a few people cut down these wolves, another wave of arrows shot several people one after another.

"Protect the king's retreat." The guard officer shouted.

The guards divided into two rows, sandwiched Yingzheng in the middle, and ran in the direction they came.

At this time, from the mountains and forests on the left and right, several horses rushed out and chased after them.

In the mountains and forests to the east, a few horses also rushed out and intercepted them from the side.

"Don't be afraid, the widow has already taken precautions." Ying Zheng was afraid that Hu Yu would be frightened, so he comforted.

Who knew that Princess Hu Yu smiled and said to Yingzheng: "With this princess here, I will protect the king Zhou Quan." ”

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this kung fu princess is really a master of art and bold.

A few people who came out from the side quickly blocked the way, and Ying Zheng and others also stopped their horses.

"Who are you to be so bold?" The guard officer rode to the front and asked angrily.

"The one who wants your life." The leader made a gesture to intercept.
