Chapter 104: Breaking through

To climb to the top of Wenshan, in addition to walking the mountain road on both sides, you can also take the man-made slope steps in the mountain, some officials and their families who are not involved in the hunt go up the mountain from the ladder, they can first wait at the platform at the top of the mountain, there is also a small enclosure arranged by the Chu Emperor in advance for them to play, but there are some small game such as hares.

Zhong Li whispered to Situ Xi, telling him to pay attention to safety when hunting, and then followed Li to climb the inclined steps.

"Brother Situ, let's go, let's also fight for the so-called Ganoderma lucidum, this spring hunt in Chu State is really interesting."

Chen Pu and Chen Zhishu came over with three well-equipped guards, Situ Xi greeted them, and the four of them followed the large army to the entrance on the left.

"Each group can only bring five people to the mountain." Two soldiers in armor blocked the way with halberds and explained the rules to the crowd.

"Brother Situ, this king will go up first." Zuo Mingli on the hillside saw Situ Xi who was stopped, nodded to him, and drove away with Zuo Shenyan and the other two sons, Zuo Mingche and Zuo Minghu had already gone up the mountain.

"Only five people?" Situ Xi looked at Chen Pu and threw an inquiring glance at him.

"Brother Situ, these three guards of mine are all good hands, I want to bring them all with me." Chen Pu and Chen Zhishu glanced at each other, and then with a little apology in their eyes, they said their thoughts to Situ Xi.

"Then you can follow me up the mountain, and the rest will stay." Situ Xi looked at Bai Manjun and the others who were following behind him and ordered, he could understand Chen Pu's requirements, and his own safety would definitely be handed over to someone he knew and trusted.

"No, I'll have to follow." Fluttering Butterfly is unlikely to agree with this decision, and Hua Shaoying tells her to protect the safety of the new envoy at all times.

And Bai Manjun grabbed her and shook her head slightly, she knew that in terms of force, Fluttering Butterfly was definitely not the opponent of Qixian and Mu Juzheng.

"Brother Mo, is it okay?" Situ Xi turned his head to look at Zhong Limo.

"Of course, these guards my father found for me should not be as good as them." Zhong Limo happily agreed, and the guards behind him showed a little embarrassment and unconvinced look on their faces, but they didn't dare to disobey his young master's order.

"Hounds don't count as quotas, do they?" Situ Xi looked at the little fox who was being held in Mu Juzheng's arms, and asked the soldier who was blocking the way.

"Naturally, it doesn't count." The soldier nodded in reply.

"Then I knew I would have brought a hundred." Zhong Limo said regretfully, and the corner of the soldier's mouth twitched.

Armed with their weapons, the people rode into the forest.

As soon as he came up, Situ Xi felt the size of this Wen Mountain, its mountains and fields were vast, and he could no longer see the figures of the teams that came up in front of him.

The people rode their horses and went deeper.

"If you want to get Ganoderma lucidum, you have to climb to the top, can Fuyu recognize the road to this Wenshan?"

There was no prey in this area in front of him, Chen Zhishu held the horse rope in one hand and set his eyes on Situ Xi, while Situ Xi turned his head to look at Zhong Limo.

"Brother-in-law, this is the first time I've heard the name of Wenshan today, this is a deserted suburb where no one has been, and I have never passed by here, let alone go up the mountain." Zhong Limo's eyes also widened, you ask me, then who do I ask?

"Sister, this is a mark." Chen Pu reminded that Situ Xi immediately saw the sign on the ground that scribbled in ink "Go forward here".

With the direction instructed, everyone followed the mountain road all the way forward, and after riding for about a quarter of an hour, Situ Xi suddenly found that the ramp up the mountain in front of him was also like the foot of the mountain, and was blocked by several soldiers wearing armor.

In front of them was a plaque that read: "To go up the mountain, you must hand over a deer, a sheep, and a rabbit."

So that's the case, Situ Xi suddenly realized, it turned out to be the mode of breaking through, this Chu Huang really knows how to play, it seems that it is to compete who has passed the most levels within the specified time.

"Interesting, interesting." Chen Pu was also happy, "Then what are you waiting for, Brother Situ, I didn't see those people who came before in this area, and I didn't see any blood traces along the way, I think there is not much prey outside, let's go deeper too." ”

With that, he whipped his horse and hastened forward, and the others immediately followed.

……

"Phewβ€”"

On the mountainside of Wenshan, Zuo Mingche had already passed the first level, he let out a loud call to stop the horse, put the arrow back into the quiver, and dismounted with the bow and walked to the side of a green snake with an arrow.

There were also the carcasses of several birds and foxes around the serpent.

"Brother He, thank you for driving these prey to Lone's side."

Zuo Mingche looked back at a young man in a mink fur behind him and thanked him.

"Your Highness, this is polite, we have gathered all the prey, and we happened to see His Highness here, so I stopped by to help."

The young man also waved his hand, and the two exchanged a look with a smile, there were a total of more than a dozen people standing on their side, if Situ Xi was present, he would definitely slam them for this illegal team-up behavior.

"Your Highness should only have one elk left, then I'll go up first, and we'll wait for you above." The young man surnamed He looked at the prey collected by Zuo Mingche, and saw that there was only one relatively simple thing left, so he asked Zuo Mingche for his resignation.

"Okay, I'll be here right away." Zuo Mingche nodded, and rode towards the forest again.

"Sir, thanks to you for bringing in this He Chu for help, his team is really efficient."

Zuo Mingche rode alongside the middle-aged scribe under his command, with a shallow smile on his face.

"The He family has been a military general for generations, and his riding and archery skills are naturally good, and his companions are in a similar situation to him...... However, they only helped to drive the prey here, and it was all up to His Highness's archery skills to successfully capture it. ”

"Eh, Hugh wants to talk about these useless and far-fetched flattery, I just want to take down the Lingzhi as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, rest assured, just in case, I also let people hide some prey in the cave on the mountain in advance."

"Sir, Lone is naturally at ease." Zuo Mingche grinned, and in a blink of an eye, he suddenly saw an elk lying on his stomach under the tree in front of him.

"Oh? It seems that Lone is really lucky today, and this little deer has come to find Lonely. ”

"Drive!" Zuo Mingche patted the horse's back, and the horse rushed forward.
