In the long shed at the entrance of the paddock, Lu Yu looked at Qi Yutai in the cavalry, and his expression became cold.

Qi Yutai also came.

He was riding on a tall red horse, dressed in a golden sapphire blue riding suit, gentle and tranquil, smiling and laughing with the young masters of other families who were familiar with him, and he looked very romantic.

Lu Yu sneered in his heart.

Qi Yutai is at risk of epileptic seizures, so Su Ri should avoid overly stimulating behaviors, and places like the hunting ground should be kept away, but he took the initiative to come.

I really don't know whether to live or die.

She tightened her grip on the straps of the medical box.

The mountains and forests are dense with trees and rocks, and it is not uncommon for accidents to occur in such a place, and before she came out, she had a lot of poison canisters in the medical box, if she could kill him here......

Her mind moved slightly, and she couldn't help frowning when her gaze fell on the front.

No, there are too many people.

Qi Yutai was also followed by several red-clothed guards, protecting him very tightly. If one is okay, so many people should be difficult to lure away.

You can only give up.

Lin Danqing on the side pursed his lips: "Why did you bring that mad dog again?" ”

Lu Yu: "Mad dog? ”

"No." Lin Danqing looked forward to Nunu's mouth, "Look." ”

Lu Yu stared.

Behind Qi Yutai's horse, sure enough, a gray hound followed. The hound is tall, much larger than the domestic dogs in the nursing home on the street, with shiny fur and bloodshot eyes, and if it weren't for the gold collar around his neck, he would look like a ferocious hungry wolf.

"That's Qi Yutai's dog." Lin Danqing said: "Bring someone to help hunt." ”

Lu Yu understood.

In the paddock, there are often noble children who bring falcons and hunting dogs to help hunt.

"Qi Yutai is a baby dog, I heard that I have to eat fresh beef loin every day, a large pot of fresh milk, fresh fruits, and bird's nest snacks, I heard that even the shack where I live is inlaid with gems, and there is a special person to serve ......"

Lin Danqing's tone was not angry, "Look at the gold collar it wears around its neck, I have never worn it with such a color, this world is really inferior to a dog." ”

Lu Yu asked, "Why do you say it's a mad dog?" ”

"That dog bites people everywhere, isn't it a mad dog?"

Lin Danqing snorted: "The Qi family sometimes leads the dog out, the mad dog is too strong, and sometimes the subordinates can't hold it, and it is inevitable to hurt people." There was a little girl who was eaten half of her face by this dog, and her mother cried and begged, so she wrote a bill of injustice and sewed it on her back, and went to the door with the child in her arms to cry——"

Lu Yu was stunned when he heard it: "What happened in the end?" ”

"Finally?" Lin Danqing sneered, "I only cried for one day, saying that the Taishi Mansion paid a large amount of silver to the little girl, and she was responsible for the silver money when she got married. ”

As soon as the words were finished, both of them were silent.

After a while, Lin Danqing spoke, and his tone was a little softer: "Don't worry, that dog is led, and it is a hunting ground, so you don't have to be afraid of biting." Thinking about it, Qi Gongzi was also afraid that he would return empty-handed after a hunt, so he just found a dog to come over and fill his face. ”

Lu Yu looked up, and the gray dog followed Qi Yutai's horse forward, but was blocked by the dragon guard behind him, and gradually lost sight.

She withdrew her gaze and let out a soft "um".

Long Wuwei and the prince of the hunt are already in place, and the hunt will begin soon.

Lu Yu stood in the tent of the medical officer's hospital, watching the official standing on the high platform of the hunting ground, blowing the horn.

The mountains and forests are empty, and the long sound of the horn echoes in the past, startling countless birds.

Prince Yuanzhen drove his horse to the front of the hunting ground, and the official presented a gold-inlaid bow and arrow, Yuanzhen held the arrow and bent the bow, and shot at the red silk in front of the hunting ground——

The hunt begins!

The prince went first, and the guards behind him followed, running towards the mountains and forests. Then there are the second princes, the third princes and the fourth princes, and then the king of Ning, the princes, and the officials above the third rank......

The first road leading to the mountains and forests was not spacious, and one team after another lined up in this way, but there were two teams in front of them that seemed to collide with each other, not giving in to each other, and it was a bit of a narrow road encounter.

Lu Yu looked at the person who stopped at the entrance of the forest road at the same time as Pei Yunyao, and asked Lin Danqing: "Who is that person?" ”

Lin Danqing glanced at it: "The Privy Council commands Lord Yan Xu Yan." ”

Yan Xu?

Lu Yu's heart moved slightly.

Isn't that Pei Yunyi's nemesis?

Under the shade trees, the young man reined in his horse and looked at the man who was blocking his way.

"Lord Yan," he smiled, "the road is narrow, beware of slippery roads." ”

The man was about forty years old, dressed in a dark gray riding suit, and had a thin figure. He was born very mediocre, only a pair of eyes were shrewd and wise, staring at him with a gloomy expression.

This is the Privy Council commander Yan Xu.

It is well known that the Privy Council and the front secretary of the palace do not deal with each other, and Yan Xu and Pei Yunyao have old grudges for many years, and they regard each other as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the bone. But whenever they appear at the same time, they must make two sentences stumble.

Today is no exception.

Yan Xu glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Lord Pei and His Royal Highness follow very closely, but Xiao is like the hunting dog of the Qi family. ”

The Privy Council guard who followed him burst into laughter when he heard this.

Hunting in the mountains, the forbidden army guards are different from those noble children, and they need to be escorted by the princes. He did not follow the crown prince, but followed the third prince.

And Yan Xu is now very close to the prince.

Pei Yunyan smiled with his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm in the other party's words: "Before going up the mountain, His Majesty specially instructed to protect His Royal Highness Anping, just as Lord Yan guarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Anping." The two of them are brothers and friends, brothers are respectful and obedient, you and I are all worried about Your Majesty, if you talk about helping hunting, Lord Yan is not far behind. ”

Unceremoniously return the past.

Yan Xu stared at him and sneered: "The palace handsome is young, I don't know if I have heard an old song." ”

Pei Yunyi looked at him lightly.

The man lowered his voice: "One foot of cloth can still be sewn; A bucket of millet is still acceptable. Two brothers, incompatible. ”

The young man's eyes moved slightly.

The next line of this song is: The world is wide, and it is incompatible......

Yan Xu glanced at his face, smiled with satisfaction, urged the horse, and led the Privy Council horses into the mountains and forests.

Lu Yu stared at the turmoil in Lin Dao, although he didn't know what was happening, but judging from the face of the Si Zhuqi in front of the palace, Yan Xu seemed to have said something that made Pei Yunyi unpleasant.

It wasn't until Pei Yunyao also ran into the mountains and forests with all the cavalry guards and couldn't see his shadow anymore that Lu Yu retracted his gaze.

She remembered the rumor.

Before entering the hospital, Miao Liangfang told Lu Yu all the crooked ties in the Shengjing officialdom that he knew, including Yan Xu.

This Privy Council envoy Yan was in charge of the military affairs of the Liang Dynasty and the government decree of the border preparation of horses, and he was extremely powerful. However, the reason why he became the center of everyone's small talk was not because of his power or indifference, but because of his past with Duchess Xian Zhaoning.

It is said that many years ago, Yan Xu proposed to the first Duchess of Zhaoning in the boudoir, but was rejected, but at that time Yan Xu was not the current official position, but after the Duchess of Zhaoning got married, she rose all the way, and some people said that Yan Xu was angry and wanted to make the Duchess of Zhaoning regret it.

Later, the Duchess of Zhaoning was held hostage by the rebels, and Pei Di wanted to take down the rebels regardless of his wife's life. It is even more ironic that a generation of beauties died on this. I don't know if the Duchess of Zhaoning regretted it before she died, but it is clear that Yan Xu, the envoy of the Privy Council, has hated the Pei family since then.

Listening to Lin Danqing, the relationship between the front division of the palace and the Privy Council is not good to check and balance each other, after Pei Yunyao went to the front of the palace, the contradiction became more and more intense, and the two sides often fought to the death.

She had thought that there might be rumors, but now it seems that it was not entirely made up. Pei Yunyi and Yan Xu are indeed quite ugly, otherwise they would not have faced each other in front of so many people in the hunting ground.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chang Jin's voice came from the front, beckoning the medical officers to return to the medical officer camp to stand by.

The medical officers waited in the tents, and if any people were injured, they would be sent to the forest for emergency treatment or waiting in the tents to be bandaged. Generally speaking, they only enter the forest in critical situations, and most of the time they wait in tents.

Lu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Dao again.

Almost all the people who entered the forest to hunt had entered the mountains, and only a few sporadic guards were left behind, and there was no shadow of Qi Yutai.

She withdrew her gaze and walked in the direction of the tent.

……

The mountain and forest roads are dangerous.

Towering ancient trees cover the sky and cover the sun, the hot sun is closely driven outside the branches, there is the sound of the waterfall flowing through the stream, and the summer day of Huangmaogang is quiet and cool.

Qi Yutai rode on his horse, and the Qi family guards followed closely behind him.

He didn't take the busiest forest road, but chose the direction with fewer people. Not because of anything else, but because he was afraid of being seen for his clumsy riding and archery skills.

The Qi family has only one son, and he is not the sick man in the Taifu Siqing Mansion, and the sons of the princes and ministers all have to participate.

However, his father did not like him to be too strenuous since he was a child, and he only learned horseback riding and archery hastily, and was not proficient. Every year of hunting, those young masters and sons are all looking forward to this opportunity to show their majesty and compete for prey, he can't let others see that his prey is hunted by guards and hounds, so he can only avoid people.

Fortunately, Huangmaogang is very large, and it is easy to avoid people.

Snatching the tiger lowered his body and sniffed the soil under the forest carefully, and the guard beside him whispered: "Young master, that medicine girl is now in the camp at the bottom of the mountain, do you want to bring her here now?" ”

Qi Yutai's eyes flashed.

"Nope."

He stared at the gray hound: "It's still early, let the tiger grind his teeth first." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hound in front of him swooped out, plunged into the bushes not far away, and picked up a rabbit in his mouth.

"Good!" Qi Yutai was immediately overjoyed.

The hound barked wildly, and threw the white rabbit in his mouth in front of Qi Yutai's horse, and the white rabbit was bitten off his neck by the sharp teeth of the hound, and the blood that flowed out stained the fur red, and the legs were weakly kicked a few times, and the chest gradually fell silent.

Qi Yutai took out a piece of fresh jerky from the leather bag and threw it to the hound, which was swallowed by the hound, and then ran into the forest in front of him.

Qi Yutai's heart was happy.

Strange to say, whenever he saw a tiger hunting beasts and birds, he always felt extremely happy, as if it was not the hunting dog that broke the rabbit's neck with his teeth, but himself.

He was very happy to see such a weak prey struggling powerlessly in the face of the stronger, and the thrill of the hunt exhilarated him, not the same as the excitement of taking cold food, but it also made him happy.

Heartfelt joy.

It's a pity that his father disciplined him very strictly, and he always had to take into account the identity and face of the Qi family when he acted outside, and he was in the house...... He must abide by the old rules set by his father, and only here and in this mountain forest can he taste the happiness of bloodthirsty and violent moments through the sharp mouth of the tiger.

The tiger was alert, his ears pricked up, as if he had found something again, and he scurried into the woods, and in a short time, the screams of wild beasts struggling were heard, as if they were dying.

Qi Yutai's eyes were even more satisfied, and he shouted: "Good, good!" ”

The more prey bites are killed, the more ferocious the hound will be, and when the tiger bites a few more rounds, the blood qi will be completely stimulated, and then Lu Yu will be introduced here......

The delicate body was torn to shreds in an instant.

That's the most wonderful prey.

Thinking of this, Qi Yutai's eyes were red with excitement, and he felt that the blood veins were surging all over his body, and he shivered in anticipation!

"Let's go!"

He couldn't help but laugh.

……

"Whoosh-"

Feathered arrows shot out of the woods, piercing through the throbbing body. "Bang-" and a wild deer fell in response, splashing blood everywhere.

"Wow-" the boy cried out with joy, turned over and dismounted, dragged the wild deer over and tied it up, put it on his horse's back, patted the deer, and exclaimed, "This deer is so fat!" ”

The wild deer is fat and strong, and it is heavy, so take it back to make venison balls, venison pieces, venison dumplings, and venison rolls...... It can also benefit qi and yang, nourish blood and dispel wind. The boy licked his lips.

On the black steed, the young man withdrew his bow and arrows, looked at him, and asked, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough is enough."

Duan Xiaoyan said with a smile: "It's neither eye-catching nor ugly, it just happened to receive a reward that was neither light nor heavy, nor did it steal the limelight from a few princes, two words to describe it - perfect." ”

He was like a compromiser, Pei Yunyao glanced at him, raised his whip and drove the horse forward.

At the beginning of the hunt, the children of each family competed for bows and knives, called for eagles to insert arrows, and were eager to pile up the horses with prey, and when they looked back, they took the lead.

Pei Yunyao has always been excited.

First, as the commander of the palace, he can't steal the limelight from the princes, this is the rule. Second, he was not interested in this kind of competition, just go through the motions.

Even with his galloping skills, it was easy to come out on top.

accompanied him all the way, but Duan Xiaoyan took a fancy to what fox and rabbit hunted for him, and the black dog Gardenia followed behind him - it was a rare opportunity to have a tolerance for a ten-month holiday, and it was cheap and not white.

The third prince Yuan Yao went ahead, he didn't like Pei Yunyao to follow him, and as soon as he went up the mountain, he signaled Pei Yunyao not to get too close.

Duan Xiaoyan looked like "I understand again": "Think about it, brother, you are so plump and vigorous, galloping and heroic, who walks in front of you is not ashamed, if I am the Third Highness, I am not happy for you to follow me, a little brilliance has been robbed by you, it is really embarrassing." ”

"Oh?" Pei Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "So the one next to him is for?" ”

"Of course, it's for the sake of foiling!"

The two looked at the people who were busy beside the third prince, and fell silent together.

Yuan Yao was accompanied by the youngest son of the Zhongshu Shilang's mansion.

This squire was born weak, just like his father. I heard that his father was only a six-grade official at the beginning, with mediocre qualifications, and he met his top boss that year, his mother, who accidentally slipped and broke his leg, so he got up before dawn every day to serve the sick, and personally urinated the for a whole year, and was more intimate than the mother and son, and later ......

Later, he rose all the way up and became the current Chinese scholar.

The squire son not only inherited his father's appearance, but also seemed to have inherited his father's good popularity in officialdom, but in half a day, he had coaxed the three princes to be happy. It is true that his short and weak figure walks beside the third prince, making the third prince more handsome and tall.

Of course, the third prince Tianhuang is noble, so he shouldn't care about these details, let alone deliberately let him set off.

There was a flying spring pouring down the cliff wall in front of him, and the squire pointed to the lush pine forest near the spring: "Here! Last year, when the summer was in the summer, Lord Wang of the Terracotta Division saw a white wolf here, but unfortunately it didn't shoot and told it to run away, I remember clearly, it was this pine forest! ”

The white wolf is rare to see, and as soon as Yuan Yao's eyes lit up, he wanted to take someone in.

Pei Yunyao drove his horse to Yuan Yao's side, and stopped him in a loud voice: "The pine forest is dense and the cliffs are steep, Your Highness may wish to allow the officials to search for ...... in the forest."

"Pei Dianshuai," Yuan Yao interrupted him impatiently, "When you go in first, the wolf king will be scared away, what is there to hunt?" ”

Pei Yun was stunned.

When the squire heard this, he also smiled and said: "It is exactly, the hunting intention is flexible and casual, and the palace marshal's move is inevitably disappointing." Don't be too nervous. ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Pei Yunyao to speak, Yuan Yao raised his horsewhip and took the lead in rushing into the pine forest.

Pei Yunyi frowned, Xiao Zhufeng, who followed up, shook his head helplessly, the two didn't say more, and followed into the pine forest with the guards.

The pine trees of Huangmaogang are dense, and the layers of forests cover the foothills, and the thick green clouds cover the top of people's heads. When the horse rode over the grass on the ground, it frightened insects and beasts.

After running for half a lap, the white wolf had no shadow for the time being, but found a small wild boar.

The half-big wild boar ran fast, Yuan Yao excitedly chased the wild boar with an arrow and a bow, and the feather arrow went off the string, like a flash of lightning, and shot the wild boar's buttocks. The beast howled and fled faster, Yuan Yao laughed, drew another long arrow to the longbow, and as soon as he let go, the feathered arrow went straight to the wild boar!

The squire behind him couldn't help but praise: "Good! Your Highness is a good archery! ”

Pei Yunyao smiled, rode a horse to catch up, and was about to give a few perfunctory compliments, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The sharp sound of feather arrows piercing the air came one after another, but it was not only from Yuan Yao's hands.

Pei Yunyi was shocked, he didn't care about the horses under him, he drew his sword and rushed forward: "Your Highness be careful!" ”

"There's an ambush in the woods—"

"Whoosh-"

In the depths of the pine forest, dozens of feathered arrows broke through the sky like a torrential rain. Yuan Yao was chasing the fleeing boar, and suddenly he forgot to dodge in a panic, and saw that the rain of arrows was about to fall under his hood—

At the last moment, someone suddenly pulled him to the side, and the silver knife was bright, and it slammed into the rain of arrows, cutting the flying rain of arrows into two pieces!

Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he raised his head, his eyes widened in fear.

The young man was at his side, and behind him, a silver feathered arrow volleyed into the air, stabbing at him in the back of the heart!
