A large group of people walked for more than an hour before arriving at their destination.

The reason why this destination was chosen as the beginning of the five-day hunt was mainly because the first arrow at the beginning of the hunt had to be shot by the Son of Heaven.

And here, there is a deer surrounded by soldiers......

Zhou Mi, the captain of the guard and who had dealt with Xu Huabiao twice, took the golden bow from his hand, put on an arrow, and shot an arrow at the deer that had already been exhausted by the besieged soldiers...... Ah no, amid the cheers of the onlookers, the hunt officially began.

Of course, Xu Huabiao will not join in the excitement.

Following a group of onlookers and officials to call out His Majesty's heroic martial arts, Xu Huabiao rode back to the camp to rest.

It will definitely be impossible for him to return to Xuchang in the next five days, but if he wants to hunt those enclosed animals, Xu Huabiao really can't do it......

Anyway, there was food and drink in the camp, and there were many civil officials like him, so they wouldn't go to join in the excitement of hunting at all, and they weren't lonely.

Even Xu Huabiao estimated that the people who went out of the camp to hunt did not stay in the camp, and there were many people walking around and chatting with each other and drinking.

Of course, the main people are concentrated in Prime Minister Li Xiuman.

Although his subordinates, such as Huang Meiying, Jiang Shiqi, and even Quan Bao'er who was recalled from Puyang, Gao Yala, who came back from Jibei, and Kim Taeyeon, who came from Wancheng, all went out of the camp to hunt, but Li Xiuman himself did not play.

After all, the first place in this hunt is rewarded.

This reward was all promised by Li Xiuman himself!

With a "magnet" as big as Li Xiuman's place to suck in, those idle and bored civil officials generally don't look for Xu Huabiao.

In addition, Lin Yun'er went out hunting, and Pei Zhuhyun drank with those friends who had known him when he was in Yingchuan every day, so the camp was lively, but Xu Huabiao's camp was very quiet.

This is very much in line with Xu Huabiao's definition of the most perfect living environment when he was a student: a quiet downtown area.

This is good.

Until the fourth day of the hunt.

was looking at the letter that Li Yunxi arranged for someone to send from Luoyang in the camp tent, thinking about how he would reply to the letter in order to be the right Xu Huabiao's camp curtain was opened.

"Hua Biao! What are you up to? The person who came in looked at Xu Huabiao with a smile on his face.

Guan Yunchang.

“…… Second brother? How did you get back? ”

Xu Huabiao was a little stunned when he saw Guan Yunchang's appearance.

In Xuchang, weren't you choked enough by Li Xiuman? It's rare to have a chance to go out hunting, why don't you do a good job?

I remember on the first day of departure, I saw you all laughing!

"Ahh These days...... Well, General Park Jin-young was in a bad mood, so we didn't continue hunting. ”

“…… Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Why? ”

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

“…… You didn't notice? ”

"Notice what?"

"When the Son of Heaven announced the start of the hunt that day, it was clear that the Son of Heaven should have personally announced that the first place would be rewarded, but why did he come out and say that it was Li Xiuman? And when accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, Li Xiuman stood in a position one step ahead of the Son of Heaven? ”

“……”

Xu Huabiao opened his mouth and was speechless.

Anyway, I was there that day! Li Xiuman is ahead of the Son of Heaven? Oh, it may be, but I didn't notice it at all!

What's more, the reward for the first place was added by Li Xiuman temporarily, he didn't say it, did he still let the Son of Heaven come out and say it?

You're too sensitive, aren't you?

"Big brother...... Ahem, General Park Jin-young has been indignant for the past few days because of this incident. Guan Yunchang sighed softly, "Li Xiuman's is really too much, right?" ”

"yes, why doesn't he wear a hat."

“…… What do you mean? What hats? ”

"Nothing." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "So, you haven't hit anything in the past few days?" ”

"Basically nothing, just a few rabbits and stuff." Guan Yunchang shook his head, "I'm not in the mood." ”

“…… Second brother, when did you start to be so sensitive to this kind of position of standing in the front or back? Xu Huabiao couldn't hold back and asked.

General Park Jin-young said......"

"By the way, did you see that Li Xiuman took an extra step forward?"

"How can I be as careful as my eldest brother."

“……”

"Well, I thought you didn't go out hunting because of that!" Guan Yun let out a long sigh and sat cross-legged opposite Xu Huabiao.

"So, Park Jin-young is so angry because of this incident that he doesn't care if you come to me, or did he send you to probe me?" Xu Huabiao asked.

"I just want to come and talk to you, it has nothing to do with the general." Guan Yunchang waved his hand, and then looked at Xu Huabiao, "Hua Biao, there is something, I actually want to ask you." ”

“…… What? ”

"Since you are the Taishou of Luoyang, and now you are the assassin of Sizhou, why haven't you thought about letting the Son of Heaven return to Luoyang?"

"Huh? Why should I let the Son of Heaven return to Luoyang? Xu Huabiao looked ridiculous and smiled, "When he goes back, I won't be able to stay in Luoyang anymore, and the city I worked so hard to rebuild from the ruins will be gone." ”

“…… But the whole world is not the king's land......"

"Come on! That's because you don't have a territory right now. Xu Huabiao interrupted Guan Yunchang's words, "When you were in Xuzhou, the Son of Heaven did not appoint Park Zhenying to Xuzhou Mu, nor did I see you honestly hand over Xuzhou to the country!" ”

“……”

"Being generous to others is never distressed." Xu Huabiao shook his head with a smile, "If the Son of Heaven had arrived in Luoyang, he would have followed me to rebuild Luoyang from the beginning, then I would never say that Luoyang was my Luoyang." Can ...... now Don't talk about me, even the people of Luoyang may not welcome the Son of Heaven back. ”

“…… Are you sure the people of Luoyang will think so? Guan Yunchang looked ridiculous.

"Sure. After all, it was the Son of Heaven who left them behind and ran to Xuchang by himself. ”

"But that's just that the Son of Heaven listened to the advice of some close ministers......"

"When the Son of Heaven returns to Luoyang, will those close ministers go back with him?" Xu Huabiao asked rhetorically, "What I said in Luoyang was that sentence at the beginning, and it is still that sentence now, the Son of Heaven is willing to return to Luoyang, and I Xu Huabiao can keep it, but those Manchu Dynasty civil and military people, I'm sorry, I can ask Li Yanhao in Hebei and Han Chenghao in Jingzhou to provide them with taxes, and then tell me what to do with them." ”

"Hua Biao, you have changed, you were not like this before......"

"Second brother, I remember that the people you looked down on the most in the past were those scholars and bureaucrats, when did you start speaking for them?" Xu Huabiao asked rhetorically.

Be quiet.

"It's the second brother, you've changed!"

Xu Huabiao took a deep look at Guan Yunchang and shook his head.

There was silence in the tent.

It's been a while.
