Chapter 199: Hunting Prey Hunter Hunter

The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Chu Mofeng gave two million to the court in accordance with the agreement with Li Yuan, and promised to supply the armaments of the battalions in the capital that year to alleviate the somewhat stretched imperial court finances, and then proposed to change his title.

After receiving Chu Mofeng's two mansion bills, Li Yuan was in a good mood and immediately decided to discuss the matter, but the court argued fiercely for these two things.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin's guests enjoyed themselves, while Wei Zheng, who was the first minister under the command of the crown prince Li Jiancheng in the East Palace, was scolded by Li Jiancheng, and then was beaten by Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to resolve the embarrassment.

Knowing that Li Yuan was going to set up a hunting ground at Mingqi Spring, sixty miles east of Chang'an, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji immediately discussed it secretly, and then a large net full of barbs slowly opened towards Li Shimin, who was still unaware.

As Li Yuan announced the start of the hunt, Li Shimin rushed out first, while Chu Mofeng and Li Xiaogong hurriedly followed closely when they saw this, lest there be any danger in this house.

The three of them rode their horses all the way, and saw a shaking in the bushes in front of them, Li Shimin raised the longbow in his hand when he saw this, and quickly opened his bow and shot arrows, only to hear a 'boom', and the arrows flew into the bushes like a streamer, and then stopped shaking.

Li Shimin and others hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, only to see an arrow stuck in the neck of a roe deer in the bushes, and it had already fallen to the ground without a sound. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "Yo, that's good, let you take the lead, hurry up and send someone to collect it." ”

Immediately, Chu Mofeng loudly called Cheng Yanjin and others, who were close to the left, to step forward and hang the roe deer behind the horse, and Li Xiaogong on the side saw this, smiled and hugged his fists to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng and said: "King Qin, King Xian, play slowly, brother, I really can't bear to see this kind of thing hunting, go back to the camp first, and wish you two a lot of success." With that, he shook his horse's head and turned and left the place.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng asked a little puzzled, "Brother Xiaogong, what's wrong?"

I saw Li Shimin slowly shook his head and said: "Otherwise, it is said that the princess in his house is a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and he has been affected for a long time, and Brother Xiaogong's archery skills are a must, if he makes a move, everyone present will have no chance." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, then urged the horse to come to Cheng Yanjin and the three of them, and whispered: "You three are close behind, I am afraid that the crown prince and the king of Qi will take this opportunity to be unfavorable to the king of Qin today." ”

The three of them nodded when they heard this, and then rushed forward with Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng.

Seeing that a few people had come to the Mingqi Spring, Li Shimin immediately turned over and dismounted and let his lion skull go to drink water, while Chu Mofeng stood beside Li Shimin with a wary face, looking around vigilantly.

I saw that Li Shimin was about to bend down to get water to wash his face, and suddenly shot an arrow from the front, Chu Mofeng on the side happened to look ahead, seeing the sharp arrow flying and hurriedly resisted with his shoulder, pushing Li Shimin aside, and then copied the arrow in his hand on the side of his body, copied the arrow in his hand, and then took out the longbow behind him, and shot the arrow in the direction of flying with a back bow.

I saw that the sharp arrow shot out like a meteor, and in an instant there was a scream from the grass opposite, and then I saw a Tang soldier holding his throat and swaying out, walking forward about three or four steps, and then fell to the ground without a sound.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Who is hurting people with secret arrows, if you have the ability to come out and see it, don't hide like a turtle with a shrunken head." After shouting several times in a row and seeing that no one responded, Chu Mofeng hurriedly picked up Li Shimin, who was sitting on the ground, and whispered: "Hurry up, there was an ambush just now, the terrain here is too open, we have to find a way to run into the woods." ”

As soon as he was hit by Chu Mofeng, Li Shimin immediately fell to the ground in a hurry, and was about to ask, but saw Chu Mofeng copy the bow and arrow in his hand and reflected it back, and immediately understood what happened, after listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin nodded, and then ran towards the depths of the woods under the escort of Cheng Yanjin and others.

After Li Shimin and the others walked away, some people came out of the grass on the opposite side, only to see Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, scolding a few soldiers in front of him: "A group of waste, hasn't this king confessed? Wait a little longer before committing an ambush, you would be fine, if it wasn't for the timely counterattack by the person surnamed Chu on the other side, you people would definitely be exposed." ”

Several soldiers in front of him lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, allowing Li Yuanji to reprimand him uncontrollably, and then Li Yuanji said angrily: "This time it is his fate, hurry up with this king to follow them, next time if anyone does not obey the order and acts, don't blame this king for not being merciful." ”

After speaking, Li Yuanji took the reins handed by his entourage, turned over and got on his horse and chased people in the direction where Li Shimin left.

Besides, Li Shimin and the others rode their horses all the way, and instantly came to the depths of the woods, only to see towering trees everywhere, and the bare branches revealed a gloomy atmosphere in the slightly dim sunlight.

At this time, Chu Mofeng had already withdrawn his longbow, holding the Burning Sky in one hand, and the other hand was tightly pressed behind his waist, ready to shoot a dart as soon as there was any wind and grass.

And Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde had already drawn out their respective weapons and guarded Li Shimin's side tightly. At this moment, there was a sudden shaking in the bushes in front of him, Chu Mofeng didn't ask when he saw this, he threw out two darts with his hand, and who knew that a wolf howl suddenly came from the bushes, which was extremely terrifying in such a quiet environment.

Immediately, two wolves jumped out one after the other, each with a golden dart stuck in their bodies, staring at everyone viciously, as if looking for someone who had injured them.

Then I saw the two wolves howl and pounced towards everyone, and Chu Mofeng saw this and put the burning sky behind him, and then drew his longbow again, opened his bow and aimed an arrow at a wolf, and shot it with a 'boom'. Li Shimin, who accompanied him, was not to be outdone, and immediately shot the arrow in his hand at another wolf.

The two wolves ran towards everyone one after the other, a sharp fang, stretching out a bright red tongue, and you could smell the fishy smell in your mouth from a distance, Chu Mofeng saw this, took off the spear on the Desheng hook, turned over and dismounted, and flashed in front of a wolf, the spear in his hand quickly stabbed out, and slashed against the grass under the wolf's abdomen, and then picked up with one arm, and saw that the wolf was picked up in mid-air.

Immediately, Chu Mo shouted without looking back: "King Qin, it's up to you." Turning around and rushing towards the next wolf, Li Shimin quickly opened his bow and arrows when he saw this, and at this time, the wolf that was picked up in the air seemed to be unwilling to look up to the sky and roar, and the arrow in Li Shimin's hand was like a meteor in the air, and then drilled into the neck of this wolf.

On the other side, Chu Mofeng was already fighting with the other wolf, and I saw Chu Mofeng grasping one of the wolf's front paws with both hands, bending his knees on his chest against the wolf's chest, trying not to let the bloody mouth bite down on his throat.

Seeing this, Li Shimin and the others were about to step forward to help, but they heard Chu Mofeng shouting: "Your uncle, fly for the little master." I saw that Chu Mofeng somehow put his feet on the wolf's chest, and then kicked his legs upward, and at the same time let go of his hands, and everyone saw that the wolf also flew into the air.

Originally, Li Shimin was about to shoot with an arrow, but who knew that Chu Mofeng turned over on the spot, and then kicked upwards one after another against the tree trunk beside him, and suddenly came to the top of this wolf, only to see Chu Mofeng pull out the burning sky behind him, and jerk hard at the waist and back of this wolf, and then heard a 'click', and the wolf suddenly fell to the ground like a broken sack.

After Chu Mofeng also fell to the ground, he ordered Qin Qiong and the others to put the two wolves on them, and then the five of them turned over and rode towards the depths of the woods step by step, but they didn't know that the movements of the five people had already been reported by standing on a high place through the flag.

Xue Wanche, who was hidden in a bush in the depths of the woods, saw the flag on the high platform in the distance at this moment, and he was also a little helpless in his heart, since he and his younger brother Xue Wanjun returned to the Tang Dynasty with Luo Yi, his younger brother was under the command of King Qin, and he was taken into the pocket by the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Although Xue Wanche himself knew that among the three princes at that time, only Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had great military achievements and was famous, but Li Jiancheng was the crown prince, unless the king of Qin could ruthlessly launch a coup d'Γ©tat and usurp the throne, otherwise he would not be able to ascend to the position of the ninety-five lord in this life, but from his usual chats with his younger brother Xue Wanjun, he knew that the king of Qin had no intention of arguing for the prince.

Thinking of this, Xue Wanche tightened the longbow in his hand, and whispered: "I'm really sorry for His Royal Highness King Qin, I will burn more paper in front of your grave today next year." After speaking, Zhang bowed and arrowed in the direction where Li Shimin and the others came, stabilized his breath, and waited quietly for the prey to take the bait like a hunter.

At this time, Li Shimin and the others walked forward slowly in a one-three-one formation, and the four of them surrounded Li Shimin in the middle, led by Chu Mofeng, while Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde were on the left and right sides of Li Shimin, and Cheng Yanjin was holding his horse lance and protecting him behind Li Shimin.

The five of them walked for a distance and did not find any prey, and just as they were about to stop and rest, at this time, an arrow suddenly flew from the left and right sides and the rear, and when Qin Qiong and the three of them saw this, they hurriedly swung away with their weapons, and then watched around motionlessly.

Chu Mofeng, on the other hand, looked coldly ahead, put one hand on his waist, and said slowly: "We'd better find a way to find an open area, where there are many trees and it's too easy to be ambushed." ”

I only heard Cheng Biting Jin shouting behind him: "This prince and the King of Qi are too vicious, by hunting today, is it really necessary to kill His Highness to be counted?"

"Lao Cheng, didn't you find out today?" After seeing Qin Qiong swing an arrow, he said angrily: "Even if we die today, we have to protect His Royal Highness King Qin out." ”

And Wei Chi Jingde, who was on the side, had already changed into a single whip, and shouted to Chu Mofeng while blocking: "His Royal Highness King Xian, I bother you to protect His Royal Highness King Qin to break through, and the three of my subordinates are here, please leave everything to me." ”

At this time, Chu Mofeng still looked ahead vigilantly, and said coldly: "Give the three of you a task, rush in the direction where the arrows are flying, and kill everyone who stands in the way when you see it." The three of them shouted in unison and rushed out directly in front of them.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng shouted to Li Shimin in a low voice: "The rest of the way has to be walked by you and my brothers, are you afraid?"

I saw Li Shimin take out his rifle and say with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Today, you and I will join forces to resist the enemy, and we will definitely be able to escape." After speaking, he turned the horse's head and came to Chu Mofeng's side, Chu Mofeng was about to say something to stop him, only to hear a slight 'boom' sound, and saw an arrow flying towards Li Shimin's chest.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and the whole person threw Li Shimin off the horse, and then a burst of pain came from his left shoulder, seeing that Li Shimin was fine, Chu Mofeng found that he had an arrow stuck in his left shoulder, and at this time he couldn't care too much, Chu Mofeng immediately grabbed the tail of the arrow and pulled it hard, and the whole arrow was pulled out with a stream of blood arrows.

Immediately, Chu Mofeng pulled Li Shimin to hide behind a big tree, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Li Shimin, and said, "Help me sprinkle a little to the wound, don't sprinkle too much, Zi Yao's girl is matched, I will bring this bottle out today." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin took the porcelain bottle, tremblingly sprinkled the medicinal powder inside on Chu Mofeng's wound, only to hear Chu Mofeng gasp, and said angrily: "Don't be found by me which bastard shot him, otherwise I will definitely tie him to the back of the horse and drag him around Chang'an City." ”

Seeing that the bleeding from Chu Mofeng's wound had stopped, Li Shimin said with palpitations: "I heard that Xue Wanche next to the prince is here, this person is good at using bows and arrows, so the arrow just now will not be shot by him." ”

I saw Chu Mofeng prop himself up and said, "No matter, anyway, we have to find a way to get on the horse, and then think about running out of the woods." Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then squatted down and got ready.

Xue Wanche missed a blow in the bushes, and immediately retreated and moved to another place to continue waiting, within the range of vision, no figures of Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng were found, and then Xue Wanche opened his bow and arrows again, quietly waiting for the two to appear again.

And Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng suddenly ran out of the hiding place quickly at this time, running towards their mounts, Xue Wanche saw that the arrow in his hand was loose again, only to see the arrow shoot towards Chu Mofeng with the sound of the wind, originally thought that the two would not notice it in the hasty escape, but who knew that Chu Mofeng got up on the spot and flipped in mid-air, and then a golden light flew out of Chu Mofeng's body.

Seeing this, Xue Wanche hurriedly dodged, who knew that the golden light quickly shot over, and suddenly a pain came out of his right arm, Xue Wanche looked at it, and saw that a dart had entered the flesh, and blood flowed down. In desperation, Xue Wanche had no choice but to tear off a piece of cloth on his body, pull out a dart and hastily bandage it, and when he looked for the target again, he only saw the figures of the two horses in the distance.

Seeing this, Xue Wanche pulled out an arrow with a different shape from the quiver and shot it diagonally into the air, only to hear the arrow fly into the air with a terrible sound, and then someone on the high platform in the distance had already waved the flag, and then Xue Wanche left the place in a hurry.

And Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin galloped all the way, and finally ran out of the woods and came to a relatively open place, at this time the two of them stopped, crouched on the back of the horse and gasped for breath.

Just as he was about to rest, he saw Li Shimin suddenly shout in a low voice: "Look over there, what is that?"

Chu Mofeng looked in the direction of Li Shimin's finger, and immediately smiled and said, "Big brother, isn't this the first-class prey hunted today? Let's go, you and I will find a way to kill it, and then return to the camp to receive the reward." ”

Who knew that Li Shimin looked at Chu Mofeng's wound with some concern and said, "Isn't your injury in the way?" ”

I saw Chu Mofeng take off the spear on the Desheng hook, clamp his legs between the horse's belly, and rush over one by one, Li Shimin saw this and hurriedly sacrificed a longbow to follow, and Chu Mofeng took out a dart in his arms and threw it into the air in the process of charging, and after a while, Qin Qiong and the three of them rushed to follow the sound.

Seeing Chu Mofeng rushing towards the bear, Qin Qiong and the three hurriedly waved their weapons and chased after them, and at this time, the bear who was napping under the tree heard the sound of horses' hooves, raised his eyes and looked, and then climbed up vigilantly and yelled at Chu Mofeng, as if he was dissatisfied that his sleep had been disturbed.

Who knew that Chu Mofeng was about to approach the bear, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and the whole person jumped off the horse, and then rolled forward to the feet of the bear, and the spear in his hand stabbed the two hind hooves of the bear several times, and then raised his left foot and kicked on one of the hind hooves, and the whole person took advantage of the momentum to retreat.

was suddenly pricked a few times, the bear stumbled and then opened its big mouth, revealing its tongue full of barbs, and rushed towards Chu Mofeng, and Li Shimin saw this and used the rifle in his hand as a javelin, and threw it at the bear, only to see that the spear was instantly pierced in the bear's abdomen.

After eating the pain, the bear instantly pulled out the lance inserted in the abdomen and set it aside, and continued to rush towards Chu Mofeng, while waving his right paw towards the top of Chu Mofeng's head, as if he wanted to slap this person to death with one claw to calm the anger in his heart.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly raised the spear diagonally to block, who knew that Puyi came into contact with the right paw of the bear, and a powerful force knocked the spear away, and the right paw of the bear did not stagnate at all, with a gust of wind towards Chu Mofeng's head and continued to fall, Chu Mofeng saw this, his body was short, and he rolled to the right, which was able to dodge this attack, and the right paw that failed to attack slapped on the ground, making a dull sound, and then lifted a large area of dirt.

At this time, Qin Qiong and the three of them had already come to the bear, the three of them, you stab a shot, I poke it, and in an instant, there were many scars on the bear's body, while Li Shimin was sitting on horseback, stretching his bow and arrows to find an opportunity.

After the injury, the bear gradually became agitated, the force of the attack became more and more fierce each time, Qin Qiong and the three of them had no choice but to pull away a distance, seeing that the bear was attacking while walking in the direction of Li Shimin, Chu Mofeng immediately slid to the side of the bear, and jumped up with his feet on the body of the bear one after another, and pulled out the burning sky in mid-air, regardless of the pain in his left shoulder, his hands clenched and slashed at the top of the bear's head.

I only heard the sound of a sore tooth cracking, and the bear immediately roared in pain, and at this time Chu Mofeng shouted at Li Shimin: "It's now, shoot your neck." ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin shot an arrow and went straight to the neck of the bear, and the arrow penetrated through the body in an instant, and then a small arrow was drilled out from the back of the neck.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng and Qin Qiong's people slowly stepped forward, and found that the bear had long since lost its voice, and immediately burst out laughing. Since this place was not far from the camp, Chu Mofeng hurriedly ordered Qin Qiong to find the soldiers and the carriage, and then with the help of a group of soldiers, everyone carried the bear into the carriage and walked towards the camp where Li Yuan was.

Seeing Li Shimin leading a group of soldiers to pull a bear slowly over, Li Yuan's face suddenly burst into laughter, and Qin Qiong and the others also took off the prey tied to the back of the horse and placed it in front of Li Yuan.

With the end of the specified time, everyone who went out to hunt returned here one after another, and saw Li Shimin standing in front of a dog and bear that had already died, and everyone showed envy, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were like eating a fly, and their faces were indescribably ugly.

I saw Li Yuan look at Chu Mofeng and said, "Chu boy, did you get nothing today?"

I saw Chu Mofeng smile slyly, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the minister originally shot a prey I don't know what today, but because the minister's dart was quenched with poison, I didn't bother to pick it up, so as Your Majesty said, the minister really got nothing." ”

Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Fortunately, your kid shot one, these prey are to be brought back and sent to the imperial dining room, if each of them is hit by your poison dart, then I won't have a good mouth." ”

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention of listening, Li Jiancheng on the side suddenly remembered, just now Xue Wanche reported that he was hit by Chu Mofeng's dart, and immediately called an attendant in his heart, and after whispering, the attendant left in a hurry, and Li Jiancheng squeezed out a smile and asked: "Your Royal Highness King Xian, I don't know if your poison dart can be solved by medicine?"

Li Jiancheng's actions had long been seen by Chu Mofeng, and he said with a smile at the moment: "Actually, this poison was prepared by insiders, but later I added some miscellaneous things to it, so it can be said that there is no cure for it, because I forgot what I added." ”

Li Shimin choked up when he heard the words and stopped talking, and then Li Yuan ordered someone to count the hunting gains, and the people present were Li Shimin who had gained a lot, and Li Yuan immediately encouraged Li Shimin when he saw this, promising that he would issue a reward after returning to Beijing.

Who knew that Li Shimin, who had palpitations, didn't care about this reward at all, after all, for this reward, he and Chu Mofeng and others almost died.

On the 21st of December, Li Yuan led everyone to leave the Mingqi Spring hunting ground and returned to Chang'an with prey. In three days, it will be the lunar New Year, and Li Yuan specially ordered a banquet in the Qianyuan Palace, and summoned several princes, princes and family members into the palace to have a homely meal.

After learning the news, Chu Mofeng hinted to Li Shimin that he must pay attention to safety on that day, and he also made preparations early.

On the 23rd day of December in the eighth year of Wude, on this day, the Qianyuan Hall of Taiji Palace was a song and dance, and a royal family banquet that implied murder was slowly kicked off in a piece of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music......

As the saying goes, the banquet is better than the Hongmen, and watch the Chang'an night banquet step by step, and then watch the dark chess of the Tang Palace, want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
