Chapter Eighty-Nine: Black Wind
The autumn hunt soon began, Zhao Ji appeared in the hunting ground with twelve black-clothed, black-cloaked and black-iron helmet guards, looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, and said: "It seems that the weather is good today, and the day you picked is quite good." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that the people have arrived, let's get started. ”
Cai Jing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, is it according to precedent?"
Zhao Ji said: "Precedent, it's too troublesome, let's divide a few pairs of centaurs and see who shoots more prey, how about it?"
Tong Guan said: "It seems that the emperor is sure to win!"
Zhao Ji smiled confidently: "That's nature, I am the true son of heaven, when have you ever lost?" Of course, you don't have to be discouraged, if you perform well, I will be rewarded!"
The ministers stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor!"
Pang He looked around, and sure enough, he saw Lu Zhongming, wearing silver armor, a little more powerful than the white clothes.
Zhao Ji said: "Then let's start now, so let's do it, you can combine it casually, I will take these twelve guards, and you will also be in a group of twelve." ”
After speaking, he asked Gonggong Li to ask someone to lead the horse over, and went up very neatly: "Attack it!" A golden longbow was handed over by a eunuch, and then with a "rack" sound, he ran up, and twelve guards quickly got on the horse and followed, following closely.
Twelve guards whistled like a gust of black wind. Gao Yu looked at these twelve guards, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, why did the emperor have to bring these twelve people, who were these twelve people, and why did they wear helmets so that no one could see them? And the figures of these twelve were a little familiar, just dressed in the same costume, and they really couldn't tell who was who for a while.
The civil and military officials present also had such doubts, especially Cai Jing, at this time, he couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, who were these twelve people, who made the emperor so relieved and so confident, think about how many people in the capital can make the emperor so confident, and the senior generals are still present one by one, is it just that the chief of the Qi guard alone will not make the emperor have so much courage. Cai Jing, who was puzzled, looked at Gao Yu, Gao Yu just shook his head, and then looked at Tong Guan, Tong Guan also had the same answer. This made Cai Jing even more bored, why did the emperor have a gourd in his heart, so that these ministers couldn't guess it at all.
Pang He and his party followed Zhao Ji closely until they entered the depths of the woods, and Zhao Ji shouted: "This is good, I am wondering, whether to separate, so that we will have a better chance of winning." But when I think about it, I am worried about getting lost. ”
While speaking, there was a rustling sound between the trees, Zhao Ji stopped talking, and listened attentively to the sound, a rabbit faintly appeared in front of everyone, Zhao Ji hurriedly shouted: "Rabbit!"
When Zhao Ji finished saying the word rabbit, Shi Wengong had already shot an arrow, hitting the rabbit in the back and killing him with one arrow. Zhao Ji smiled happily: "Good archery!" said, pointing to a person: "Go and get the rabbit!"
With the fierce general beside him, Zhao Ji's confidence increased greatly, and he flicked his whip and began to move forward.
At this time, Cai Jing and these ministers also organized their respective teams. In the Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light on martial arts, hunting was the best time for military generals to show themselves, not only did not need to go to the battlefield, but also allowed the emperor to witness his results, which was really a matter of killing two birds with one stone. For Wenchen, it is natural to play some tricks in order to try to make his disadvantages not obvious, simply in this hunting ground, sometimes patting the horse's ass and currying favor with the emperor is much better than the military generals shooting the prey. Of course, this is also the sorrow of this Song Dynasty, if it were not for this, there would be no Jingkang Rebellion in the future.
Gao Yu's heart began to wonder where Zhou Dong's master and apprentice went, he suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and he was sent by the emperor. In the past, as a celebrity around the emperor, he could hear a thing or two, but now, he doesn't know anything. The appearance of these twelve guards made Gao Yu have more doubts in his heart. Beside him, Lu Zhongming and his Chongyun Four Swordsmen were already in place, and there were ten other people, whose identities were more mysterious, and they didn't say a word by Gao Yu's side, and their faces were expressionless, with a murderous aura. These ten people are the ten people that Gao Yu asked Lu Qian to find, and their strength is above Lu Zhongming. Gao Yu looked behind him, pointed to the ten people, Lu Zhongming and Lu Qian, and said, "Just the twelve of you, the others wait in place, if something happens, remember to put the signal." ”
After speaking, he also led twelve people into the depths of the woods, during which many teams also entered the woods one after another and began to hunt.
This situation is a big challenge for Zhao Ji's personal safety, different people have entered the woods, although this is autumn, the fallen leaves in one place make the sky much clearer, but the dense trees can block the line of sight very well, so if you put a dark arrow, it is indeed difficult for people to see, so Zhao Ji's dream may be a sign.
In the woods, it gradually became lively, and as the teams entered, the breath of life began to slowly strengthen, and the animals preparing for hibernation began to be forced to surge.
And when the frightened animals begin to appear, a team or a group of people rush to chase and run, with arrows and bows, which is very lively.
At this time, autumn is no longer autumn, if you have just passed the cold winter, it is a very fierce struggle for life.
Outside the hunting ground, half of the forbidden army in the capital is protecting the hunting ground, and inside, the Royal Forest Army stands with their heads held high and is very energetic, always watching the movements in the woods to avoid accidents.
Zhao Ji, because of taking Zhou Dong's master and apprentice, of course he is very happy, regardless of Zhou Dong, even Shi Wengong and Lin Chong, they also have the courage of ten thousand people, not to mention Zhou Dong, and among the twelve people, there is a mysterious figure, this person is Zhou Dong's senior brother, Jintai. Jintai was recommended by Zhou Dong, and quickly entered Beijing, with Zhou Dong and Jintai, even if the other party has hundreds of people, they have no power to fight back in front of them. It is said in history that the king is not a piece, the general is not a Li, and the fist is not gold. This gold is Jintai. Therefore, Zhao Ji will also be so relieved that he can let go so much in this crisis-ridden forest.
At this time, Gao Yu, Cai Jing and others naturally didn't know that there were Zhou Dong and Jintai among the guards around the emperor, and they only knew that these twelve were unfathomable, but they didn't know how unfathomable they were. In the turbulent hunting grounds, each of their respective opportunities has already appeared, and it depends on who can grasp the opportunity and make a strong mark on this history? Of course, no one can be sure of what will happen, but they are all playing their own calculations in their hearts to increase their bargaining chips for victory.
