Chapter 20: Hunting
Chapter 20: The Hunt
There is no absolute peace in this world, but there is no absolute war, and if there is, it can only be said that it is normal to be pregnant in October. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Shiyu country borders other countries on all sides, there is no absolute natural danger to defend, if you have to find one, it is the northern Xinjiang Cangli City, which is built by the mountain, is a famous military fortress in Dongsheng Shenzhou, known as "a husband is a pass, ten thousand people do not open" reputation.
If Zhu Chenhuan heard these words mentioned before, he would not have gathered his ears to listen to these street news, which could be regarded as broadening his horizons and passing the boring time by the way. But after turning around from Cangli City and hearing the story behind Cangli City from the veterans, he couldn't say a word of scolding when he heard these bullshit words again, and if that person didn't listen, he would inevitably be beaten.
"So, that's why you beat the prime minister's son?" Zhu Yitian looked at his son a little helplessly.
Zhu Chenhuan looked at the banner waving in the wind, and the man in brocade clothes who was lying on the ground with a swollen buttocks, and pouted, which was considered an acknowledgement.
"Hey, you-" Zhu Yitian sighed, originally today was the annual hunting day of Shi Yuguo, and he wanted to take Zhu Chenhuan out to relax, and by the way, he officially appeared in the sight of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, to prepare for the future, but who knew that he hadn't given Zhu Chenhuan a chance to perform, Zhu Chenhuan beat up the son of the prime minister of the first grade, how can you reason about this?
To be honest, Zhu Yitianxia will not do it.
Can Zhu Chenhuan not be punished? How can he explain to his right-hand man? For a while, Zhu Yitian made a difficulty.
Zhu Chenhuan couldn't see this kind of Xiao Jiujiu in the officialdom, he patted the dust on his hands, and walked to the brocade man lying on the grass. The man in brocade was obviously scared of being beaten by Zhu Chenhuan, and when he saw Zhu Chenhuan coming, his body couldn't help but tremble, and said, "You...... What are you going to do?"
Zhu Chenhuan shook his head, suddenly turned his body, his butt was towards the man in brocade, and said softly: "Give you a beating, let's even, how about it?"
The ministers thought that Zhu Chenhuan would solve this matter, but when they saw Zhu Chenhuan using this way like a child fighting to solve the problem, they suddenly cried and laughed. But after thinking about it, isn't this also the most direct and easiest way? I beat you, and it would be nice if you hit back again, but Zhu Chenhuan forgot that he was the noble status of His Royal Highness the Prince, who would dare to call back directly and rudely like this?
"Don't fight?" Zhu Chenhuan turned his head to look at the man in brocade with a tangled face, waited and waited, then stood up and said: "Give you a chance to fight back, you didn't cherish it yourself, then it's no wonder to me, now we are even, and no one resents anyone." However, if anyone has not been to Cangli City in person, and says how Cangli City is, then the prince must say in advance that I will fight it, and it will be heavier. ā
The man in brocade had a gloomy face when he heard this, he was originally very angry when he was seen as a monkey among people, but at this time, he was coerced by Zhu Chenhuan Chiguoguo, and his anger was even worse, he secretly turned his head to look at a certain place, but saw that there were people there who were silent, so he could only grit his teeth and bow his head.
A seemingly small but not big storm has been revealed, the hunting is still normal, the hunt is divided into two areas, one is the mountain forest beasts, and there are some untransformed demon beasts, which belong to the hunting area of the royal family and the princes and ministers. In the other area, the terrain is complex, in addition to the beasts and monsters, there are also some prisoners sentenced to death, these prisoners act as prey, can use various methods to escape, if they are still not dead after dark, they can be exempted from capital crimes, so every vicious criminal will do everything possible to survive here, and this area belongs to the military general hunting area.
At the beginning, Zhu Chenhuan, who was hunting for the first time, was still a little interesting, riding a horse galloping through the grasslands and mountain forests, occasionally shooting a hare or fawn, and the change attracted a burst of compliments and congratulations, as if a program was set up.
So after noon, Zhu Chenhuan no longer participated in hunting, but rode a horse alone and wandered aimlessly in this mountain.
Suddenly, the sound of horses stepping on the ground came from behind, and Zhu Chenhuan didn't need to look at it, but he heard Zhu Chen's voice coming: "Brother Huang, why didn't you hunt together?"
Zhu Chenhuan glanced at it, there were three people behind Zhu Zhiyi, he had seen these three just now, one was Zhang Wenran, the son of a scholar, the other was He Fenglin, the son of an official of the Ministry of Officials, and the other was the son of a general of the Ministry of War.
After these three people saw Zhu Chenhuan, they all bowed and saluted, Zhu Chenhuan also nodded, and then said, "Why didn't you come forward to hunt?"
Sun Qinran hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, hunting wild beasts here is too boring, these beasts are either too weak, or their brains are too stupid, they don't know how to hide or dodge, and they don't have the fun of hunting at all, so we decided to go to another area to hunt, and we happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here." ā
Zhu Chenhuan rubbed his forehead, then looked at Zhu Papers, and said, "Do you still have to bother to invite me to go?"
"Huh?" Zhu Zhuan was stunned by Zhu Chenhuan's out-of-the-box thinking again, but fortunately, Zhang Wenran behind him quickly took over: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Zhu and we both know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cultivates literature and martial arts, and his literary brilliance is brilliant, and his martial arts are even more superb, we have long wanted to see His Royal Highness the Prince's heroic appearance, but we have never had the opportunity, so today I wonder if we can be lucky enough to see His Royal Highness the Prince's might." ā
Zhu Chenhuan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenran, who was dressed in a gorgeous suit, and looked at Zhang Wenran with a slightly dodgy look, and then said: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the son of a university scholar, and his kung fu is first-class, so I will rush you for this job, I will go!"
When the four of them heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, but they soon returned to normal, and the four of them rode out of the scope of the first district, and after talking to the soldiers around the hunting ground, the soldiers let them enter the other area.
The atmosphere in this area was completely different from the previous hunting grounds, and there were already ten corpses on the grass near the exit, all of them wearing prison uniforms, their faces and hands were white, some of them died with their eyes closed, and some of them died with shocked expressions, and without exception, these death row prisoners had a feathered arrow stuck in their chests or heads at this time.
The feather arrows swayed gently in the autumn wind hunting, as if they were white flowers growing from these corpses, and they were a little demonic.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although it is a little challenging here, it is not much fun for each of them to hunt indiscriminately, why don't we gamble on a game?" Sun Qin dyed the tiger's back and bear's waist, sitting on the horse, holding a bow and arrow, just like a soldier in a hundred battles, a faint killing aura was inadvertently revealed.
"How to bet?" asked Zhu Chenhuan with a crooked neck.
"We are five of us in a group of two hours, and before sunset, if anyone kills the most prey, what if the winner is the winner?"
"What about the winner, what about the loser?" Zhu Chenhuan asked again.
Sun Qinran straightened his back and said loudly: "If the victor says one thing, the other three must agree, but this matter cannot violate the five rules of "loyalty, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and filial piety", how about it?"
"It's a fun move, I agree. Zhang Wenran said with a smile.
"I agree. He Fenglin also said.
Zhu Zhihua looked at Zhu Chenhuan and said, "If the emperor's brother doesn't like it, then I won't-"
"Hey?" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Chenhuan, only to see Zhu Chenhuan nodding with a smile and saying, "Such an interesting thing, how can I be missing." ā
"Okay, then we'll decide, we'll see you here in two hours, I'll say goodbye first!" Sun Qinran seemed to be afraid that Zhu Chenhuan would regret it, and after getting Zhu Chenhuan's positive reply, he rode away directly, and then Zhang Wenran and He Fenglin left one after another.
"Brother Wang, you should also set off first, I am relatively timid, and I don't have Buddha roots and immortal roots like you, my cultivation is not enough for you, you need to ensure your safety before you can enter. Zhu Chenhuan seemed to be really distressed, he scratched his head, and looked at the corpses on the ground again, wanting to enter but not wanting to enter.
When he heard Zhu Chenhuan say that the Buddha root and the immortal root were not as good as himself, a trace of strange color flashed in the depths of Zhu Chenhuan's eyes, and he looked at Zhu Chenhuan with some hesitation, and said: "Otherwise, I will accompany you, you are the future emperor of my Shiyu Kingdom, if you are frightened, it will be too much for me." ā
"Brother Wang, you look down on me by doing this, if you go in first, I will definitely catch up with you later. Zhu Chenhuan said with an unswerving face.
"This ...... Well, brother Huang, you must not be reckless, in case of any accidents, you must call for help. ā
"What help, if I even ask for help from a hunt, then where will I put my face?"
"Okay, I'll leave now, you must pay attention to safety, brother. ā
Zhu Jian is like a little daughter-in-law, turning back three times in one step, his eyes are worried, and his tone is concerned, as if he knows that Zhu Chenhuan will definitely be in danger.
When the four of them entered the depths of the mountain forest, a sneer appeared on Zhu Chenhuan's lazy face, he sat up straight, his eyes narrowed slightly, how could he have the kind of willful look that was easily said by Zhu Chenhuan just now.
Zhu Chenhuan looked at the arrow feathers in his arrow basket, there were ten of them, he carefully checked each one, and there was no problem, which showed that there should be no big problem with his weapon, and the danger that Zhu Zhu mentioned was those so-called prey.
"There's still one year, and it's not boring......"
Zhu Chenhuan clamped the horse's belly, pulled the reins, the horse neighed, and quickly ran to the depths of the jungle, and disappeared into the jungle path in a blink of an eye, and not long after he left, a man in Chinese clothes on horseback slowly walked out on the other side, he glanced at the direction of Zhu Chenhuan's departure, snorted with a gloomy expression, and then also drove the horse, following Zhu Chenhuan's direction far away.
This person is not the royal family member Zhu Zhuan, who has always cared about Zhu Chenhuan, nor is it Zhang Wenran, the son of a bachelor with a bright tongue, nor is it Sun Qinran, who is burly Sun Qinran, but He Fenglin, a low-key young man who was silent just now as if he had no sense of existence!
His father is a secretary of the ministry, and he is a friend of the squire of the military department, so he can directly contact the personnel transfer of the military department prison, and he can also choose who the death row prisoner is hunting today!
