In front of the paddock, thousands of soldiers bowed in unison. greeted the review of Emperor Xia. The Wanshan Enclosure actually belongs to the continuation of the Wanjue Mountain Range, and it is located on the periphery of the mountain range, and there are no high-grade fierce beasts.

These thousands of soldiers are actually standing rangers to prevent a fierce beast from pulsing out of the mountain to harm the people of the mountain village!

In fact, there are many villages in the vicinity of this mountain range. For the villagers, there is a danger in theory, but there is a lot to sell in the mountains.

Such as some cherished herbs, such as ordinary beasts! Although it is said that it can be dangerous to encounter fierce beasts, there are always people who are willing to take risks for the sake of life.

"These people are not weak!" As far as Chu Ze could see, he found that the sergeants in the Wanshan enclosure did not seem to be weak in cultivation.

Beside him, Dou Hu smiled: "That's not weak, these people are here all day long, in addition to patrolling, they are looking for fierce beasts everywhere, although they are far away from Kyoto and inaccessible, but the advantage is that they can eat some fierce beast meat from time to time!" Even in Kyoto, there are not many people who can be treated like this. Sometimes you can even get some fierce beasts and hand them over to the merchants to transport back to Kyoto to sell, if you put aside the living conditions, this place is considered a fat difference! Chu Ze smiled: "In this way, it is indeed very good." But he also knows that this so-called good is very limited!

First of all, birds don't poop in this place, and it's located in the wilderness, even if you have money, you don't have a place to spend it, which is one of them.

Second, these soldiers, even if they are nourished by some fierce beast flesh, their talents are limited after all, and most of them are more powerful in the flesh, far from reaching the point where they can be said to be particularly strong in cultivation.

Moreover, many people actually have some misunderstandings about cultivators. I feel that the so-called cultivation is to devote oneself to hard work, to be brave and diligent, to climb the peak, and to give up everything for the sake of cultivation.

But in reality, such people are only a minority. Or at all, not at all. For most ordinary people, practicing martial arts is essentially no different from learning a craft, although their goal is to become stronger, but the ultimate goal of becoming stronger is to let themselves live a better life through strong cultivation!

What I pursue is the pleasure of drunken beauty kneeling and waking up to hold the murderous sword, rather than burying my head in penance! Therefore, being assigned to this kind of place, to a certain extent, is considered a fat difference, but there are only a few people who are willing to stay in this place all year round.

At this time, Emperor Xia also brought condolences to these people, fine wine and meat, and splendid cloth. One by one, these sergeants smiled.

"How often does this sergeant have to be on duty here?" Chu Ze was a little curious.

"Five years!" Hearing this number, Chu Ze couldn't help but gasp. Staying in this kind of place for five years, to tell the truth, if he were to be there, he would definitely not be able to stay.

"This place, it's not good for a short time, just to get familiar with the terrain, I'm afraid it will take a few months, and it's not easy to get acquainted with it, so I won't stay for a year and a half and leave again, right?" Dou Hu said with a smile: "So the people who come here are generally relatively young sergeants, with a relatively older general. At this time, Chu Ze found out that, as Dou Hu said, the general in the army had gray hair and beard, and most of the sergeants were young.

"If you get this, I'm going to go crazy!" Yin Ziting interjected on the side. Dou Hu said in a low voice: "In this kind of place, the sons of Xun Gui will not be sent, and those who come are those soldiers from ordinary families, this place is too torturous." "Obviously, this is an unspoken rule of Great Xia.

Finally, Emperor Xia's condolences were completed, and everyone entered the Wanshan enclosure. Camped. When everything was ready, Chu Ze was about to rest, but a eunuch came to pass the word and asked Chu Ze to ride to Emperor Xia's camp.

This was out of Chu Ze's expectations, and he immediately separated from Yin Ziting and others and went to Emperor Xia's tent! By the time Chu Ze arrived, hundreds of officials had gathered, all the royal relatives had arrived, and there were many noble children, all of whom were already dressed in armor and accompanying him!

Seeing Chu Ze coming, Huang Qi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, you have nothing to do left and right, this patrol is stationed, no more than you, no less than you, no less, follow Your Majesty to hunt!" "Chu Ze naturally won't refuse!

At this time, Chu Ze saw that in the crowd, Liu Changfeng waved at him!

"Brother Chu, come here! Come on! Chu Ze hit his horse and found that next to him, Liu Hui'er was also dressed in armor and riding on a horse.

"Miss Liu is also here, I haven't heard of Miss practicing martial arts." Chu Ze asked curiously. Liu Hui'er shook her head slightly and said, "It's true that I haven't practiced martial arts, I just followed and watched." She bit her lower lip, swept Chu Ze with a pair of wonderful eyes, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Do I look good in this armor?" "To tell the truth, Liu Hui'er has soft facial features, and when she wears this armor, she doesn't have the slightest heroic spirit, of course, it must be very good-looking, after all, the face is there!

"Beautiful!" Chu Ze said with a sincere face: "Miss Liu wears this armor, which is very different from the past, which really makes my eyes shine!" Listening to Chu Ze's praise, Liu Hui'er had a smile on her face, extremely sweet!

While a few people were talking, suddenly a greeting came from behind Chu Ze: "Prince Chu was summoned by the emperor's grandfather alone, which shows the importance of Prince Chu!" I heard that a few days ago, Gongzi Chu exerted his might, overwhelmed many partial generals in the five guards and eight battalions, and won the first place, and he was even more able to take it, which can be called unparalleled bravery! Chu Ze looked back, but it was Zhao Jizhe.

But I don't know when I came behind me.

"His Royal Highness Ji Zhe has praised it falsely, I'm just a fluke!" Chu Ze said modestly.

"When hunting for a while, let's go together, with Brother Chu pressing the formation, we will definitely gain a lot!" Zhao Jizhe proposed.

Chu Ze had never participated in this kind of hunting, and asked curiously: "You will have to hunt separately for a while?" ”

"Yes! This is an inherent project that belongs to the year, His Majesty led the noble royal family, scattered out to hunt, and saw what kind of prey could be hunted back! If you fight a lot, the emperor's grandfather will be rewarded. Zhao Jizhe explained.

Chu Ze frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "The four of us are walking, if we hit the prey, how will we distribute it?" ”

"Naturally, it's all counted on Brother Chu and Brother Liu, I'll join in the fun." Zhao Jizhe also knew that Liu Huier didn't know martial arts, so he didn't count Liu Huier.

Chu Ze was a little surprised, he didn't quite understand, this guy didn't want prey, so why did he follow him? As if sensing Chu Ze's doubts, Zhao Jizhe explained with a wry smile: "I, among the children of the royal family, I am mostly supported by others, and I have nothing to do with them, and I have to be supported by others, and I can be more comfortable with Brother Chu." Hearing this, Chu Ze couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable for this guy's situation.

is obviously a child of the royal family, but his status is so humble.

"Let's do it together!" Chu Ze agreed. While a few people were talking, Emperor Xia had already come out of the tent, he was dressed in golden armor, and shouted loudly in front of everyone: "The hunt will start in a while, and within three days, you can do whatever you want, and after you, there are soldiers from the five guards and eight battalions to respond, and anyone who shoots down the prey, or those who are in danger, can sound the arrow as a signal!" There will be a sergeant to answer, and if you fight a lot, you will be rewarded! Emperor Xia's voice fell, the long whip trembled, and the horse rushed out, and beside Emperor Xia, there was Xu Yue riding a black and gold fierce tiger and a tiger cavalry guard sergeant accompanying him!

The sons of the nobles and the children of the royal family also all traveled on horseback. Chu Ze was also in the crowd here, but he didn't take two steps, but there was another person, stopped the four of them, and yelled at Zhao Jizhe: "Jizhe, follow me!" What did you do? Zhao Jizhe shrunk his neck!

looked at Chu Ze with humble eyes, and the meaning of asking for help in his eyes was very obvious. Chu Ze looked at the man, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhao Jizhe.

He chuckled softly: "His Royal Highness Ji Zhe wants to pass with me, who is Your Excellency?" Also together? The man frowned and said, "You don't know me?" I am the sixth son of the third prince Yongxiu, the sixth brother of Zhao Jizhe, Zhao Jiyuan. If you're together, you're not together, just let Jizhe go with me! He naturally has his calculations, Zhao Jizhe is not weak in cultivation, he is a good helper with him, and he has hunted prey, which is also his own.

But if you go with these people in front of you! Whether it is Chu Ze or Liu Changfeng, it is not easy to bully.

It won't be beautiful when the time comes. Chu Ze opened the Eye of Bone and the Eye of Understanding, and looked at this Zhao Jiyuan.

Root bone: Nine products of understanding: Six products are very strong! Chu Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "We have already said that we want to hunt together, this His Royal Highness Jiyuan, since you don't want to, please take care of yourself." This is the tone of Zhao Jizhe's command, coupled with what Zhao Jizhe said, Chu Ze knows very well that this person is estimated to have been bullying Zhao Jizhe all along.

and Chu Ze's two elder brothers in the family are all the way, and he doesn't like this kind of person.

"Ji Zhe...."Zhao Jiyuan's tone was implied with threat, and he looked at Zhao Jizhe with fierce eyes.

"Do you have chicken feathers in your ears? Didn't you hear my Brother Chu say that Ji Zhe would go with us? Are you yelling fart? Don't get in the way, Lao Tzu is still in a hurry to hunt fierce beasts, if you can't catch fierce beasts, who is it? Delay me, believe it or not, let my father go to His Majesty to sue you? "It was Liu Changfeng who spoke, this guy is really not used to Zhao Jiyuan.

Knowing that he was the heir of the third prince, he was still unceremonious, and he opened his mouth with a smile. Zhao Jiyuan was scolded, and his face was a little unbearable!

However, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with him. After all, Liu Qianshan is now, but when he is the prime minister, don't talk about him, even his father is the third prince, and he may not be able to provoke this!

Zhao Jiyuan glanced at Zhao Jizhe viciously, glared at Chu Ze again, and turned to leave! Seeing him like this, Chu Ze was very unconvinced, turned his head to look at Liu Changfeng and said, "He glared at me just now, right?" Obviously you swear and swear at him, why doesn't he stare at you? What is this not bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? Liu Changfeng grinned and said, "No way, my father is the prime minister, if you want this treatment, unless you turn my father into your father." There was a hint in his tone, and he glanced at Liu Hui'er.

Chu Ze didn't think too much about it, but he was delayed by Zhao Jiyuan for a while, and everyone else had already left.

Only they remained.

"Which direction are we going?" Zhao Jizhe was not called away, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously. Chu Ze thought for a while and said, "I suggest that we go to the barracks of this Wanshan enclosure first. ”

"Why?" Liu Hui'er asked curiously. Chu Ze said with a smile: "Do you think, they patrol the enclosure of this mountain range all day long, where are the fierce beasts, they always know something, if you inquire with them, it is best to get a map or something, then how much trouble will it save us?" As they spoke, the four of them found their way and rushed to the location of the barracks.

Anyway, there are three days, and in Chu Ze's opinion, as long as he finds the right position, the hunting efficiency will inevitably increase greatly.

Several people rode away, but Chu Ze found that Liu Hui'er had a yellow-maned horse under her crotch, and she was extremely handsome, even if she compared her own jade night lion, it was not bad, and the horse that Liu Changfeng rode was relatively ordinary!

Zhao Jizhe also rode an extremely handsome BMW, after all, this mother family is a wealthy businessman, and his status may not be high, but his financial resources are definitely not bad.

Chu Ze looked at Liu Changfeng and said curiously, "Why is your horse so much worse than Hui'er?" Speaking of this, Liu Changfeng looked aggrieved: "My father said that he was afraid that I would sell the good horse in the family and refused to give me a good one!" Chu Ze was speechless for a moment!

And if you really give him a good horse? It should still be there when the hunt is over, but when the hunt is over, can you still take it home?

It is estimated that there is a high probability that he will be sold directly and run to Biliu Yuntian to treat himself. Because of Liu Changfeng's horse limitations, the speed of several people was not too fast, and along the way, the four of them encountered a village.

It's just that there is no half of a figure, and when a few people enter the village, they are immediately shocked by what they see! There was blood everywhere, stumps and broken arms.

It's obvious that he was attacked by a ferocious beast! When did Liu Hui'er see such a scene, she couldn't help but vomit immediately!

Fortunately, it is a cold winter wax moon, and there is no rancid and bloody atmosphere. The four of them hurriedly passed through the village, and Liu Changfeng frowned and said, "It's too miserable for this village to be attacked by fierce beasts. Zhao Jizhe shook his head and said: "It is inevitable that the imperial court has repeatedly ordered that these mountain people are not allowed to live in the enclosure, but there are still people who have a fluke mentality, and there are only a few thousand guards on patrol, and it is impossible to cover everything. The men continued on their way, and it was not until an hour later that they arrived at the barracks!

The barracks here are all rows of wooden huts, because they need to live for a long time, and it is impossible to get a tent.

There's also a guard at the door! When Chu Ze and the others arrived at the door, they were immediately stopped!

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"Chu Ze, the son-in-law of Chen Guogong, together with Liu Changfeng, the son of Prime Minister Liu Qianshan, and Zhao Jizhe, the son of the third prince, want to ask to see General Cai!" Chu Ze knew that the guard here was surnamed Cai, that is, the old general he had seen from afar before!

"Wait, I'll tell the general!" The guards went in for a long time! Chu Ze and the others waited quietly at the door, and Chu Ze also looked around.

The camp is located next to a valley where you can see the river, but now it is frozen.

"Hahaha, I don't know how many sons are coming, and they are far away! Please forgive your sins! An old voice came.

Chu Ze looked back, it was that General Cai!

"Hurry up, please!" This General Cai invited Chu Ze with a smile on his face. Chu Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "We won't go in, the main reason for our visit this time is one thing, because His Majesty ordered Xungui and me to hunt fierce beasts, and we want to inquire with the general, where there are more fierce beasts in this Wanshan enclosure, we can go too!" Hearing that Chu Ze didn't go in, the old general didn't force it, pondered it for a while, and said: "This fierce beast, there will be a group of many people, generally speaking, second-grade fierce beasts such as the Howling Moon Blue Wolf have the most activity in the position of about 100 miles east from here, but a group of blue wolves, at least there must be hundreds of them, and Chu Gongzi only has four people, if he is really surrounded by them, it is not easy to deal with it!" Or there are a lot of golden-backed apes, from here to the northeast about three hundred miles, a group of apes are all three-grade fierce beasts, and the monkey king has five-grade ones! These fierce beasts, although they seem to be of low rank, but their physical bodies are extremely powerful, although the number is slightly smaller, but they are fierce and brave, and they are not easy to deal with when they fight, and when there are more people who go, they will scatter and flee. If there are fewer people, they may not be their opponents! As for the rest, I don't know, although we have been here for a long time, but most of them are active on the periphery, and rarely go into the interior of the mountains! ”

"What about the lone beast?" Chu Ze asked, "In what position?" ”

"It's hard to say, between fierce beasts, they will also hunt each other, and from time to time there will be alternating territories, which is elusive." This answer did not satisfy Chu Ze, and he asked curiously: "Then there are no fierce beasts around here?" ”

"Not really! Around here, all the beasts that can be killed by our brothers have already been killed! Hearing this, Chu Ze raised his eyebrows: "But when we came, we also found that there was a village that seemed to have been attacked by fierce beasts!" It's miserable inside. Mentioning this matter, Cai Wenguang shook his head and said: "This matter is an accident, I waited for the villages near here, all equipped with arrows, but that day out of nowhere came a group of howling moon wolves, the number was huge, more than 100 rushed into the village, and when we arrived, the people in the village had been killed and wounded, I led people to rush to fight with the force, and then drove them away!" Although some blue wolves were captured, they were too late to be rescued. The people in the village have already been devoured. Chu Ze said curiously: "Then why didn't you gather and bury the corpses?" If it's summer, doesn't it have to be sick? Cai Wenguang said helplessly: "This is the rule, all people or villages that have been attacked and killed by fierce beasts must keep the body or the scene, and they can only be buried after being quickly checked by the nearby government office!" I have already told the yamen that someone will be coming in the next few days! After inquiring and getting some information, Chu Ze smiled and said, "Thank you, General Cai, then I'll leave!" After speaking, he led Liu Changfeng and the others away!

Cai Wenguang was full of smiles, watching Chu Ze leave, before he slowly retracted, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a trace of disdain: "What a nasty Xungui son, I want to take shortcuts wherever I go!" ”
