A month later, on this morning, Yuan Ba ran to Beishan after practicing in Qujiangchi, he planned to hunt to make money, this is the inspiration he got when he killed a wild dog, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, if you shoot wild meat, there is no taboo, you can practice archery, and you can make money, why not?

And the game sold to the wine shop can generally be sold at a good price, he remembers that someone shoots a wild sheep, can be sold for three hangings, although there are mountains and forests near Qujiang Pond, but after all, there are many villages, few wild beasts, at most some wild ducks, pheasants, hares, etc., are not valuable.

And the north of the city is behind the palace, where the hills are vertical and horizontal, the valley is deep for nearly 100 miles, the forest is reckless, sparsely populated, there are often wild beasts infested, because it is close to the palace, people are generally not allowed to enter, and ordinary people are not allowed to hunt, so there are many wild beasts.

In autumn, the children of the royal family usually go there to hunt, and there is a lot of wild ducks in the river, but the wild ducks are not worth much, and they can be sold for ten yuan at most.

Half an hour later, Yuanba ran to the north of the city, the topography of Daxing City is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, and the alluvium between Ba, Chan and Weishui forms a plain, and Daxing City is built on this plain.

But the northeast direction of the dragon head is the highest place in Daxing City, a few decades later, here began to build the Daming Palace, but at this time it is a deserted mountain plain area, but if you go northwest for another thirty miles, there is the Han Chang'an City is located, still inhabited.

Therefore, the best hunting place is in the northeast of the city in Longshouyuan and due north of a large primeval forest, here close to the West Inner Garden, there are often cavalry patrols in the garden, not allowed mountain people to enter, and this area belongs to the periphery of the West Inner Garden, and hunting is not allowed.

There was a road not far from the palace, and there were soldiers patrolling the road, and pedestrians were not allowed to pass, but Yuanba climbed the cliff, burrowed into the jungle, and ran all the way, except for the cavalry patrolling the road, there was no one in the forest, not even the woodcutter.

In fact, no one is allowed to enter this area to hunt or chop wood, every intersection is guarded by soldiers, and there are army patrols on the road near the palace, which is heavily guarded, especially the Yuan Ba with weapons, and will be regarded as an assassin, once discovered by the soldiers, there is a fear of life, and the risk is very large.

The risks are high, but the rewards are also high, and the area is a great place for hunting with a variety of game, and if you're a little braver, dive into the palace west inner garden, where the profits are even higher.

Yuan Ba heard the Yang clan chat and said that there are brave people who sneak into the West Inner Garden to hunt rare beasts to obtain fur, once caught, they will be punished and imprisoned, and if they die, if they succeed, they will often make a windfall, and the West Inner Garden is stocked with rare animals, and the fur is very expensive.

Yuan Ba walked in a quiet valley, he was dressed in a blue cloth coat, wearing half-worn cloth boots, a flat scarf on his head, a two-foot-long thick-backed short knife on his waist, a pot of feather arrows on his back, and a black longbow in his hand.

The valley is lined with primeval forests on both sides, and it is early spring and February, when everything is revived, the branches and leaves sprout, the meadows turn green, and flocks of birds and flocks of birds hoverhead and chirp, full of life.

A few miles behind him is the West Inner Garden, and the outside of the mountain plain is basically not blocked, only a few boundary stones, the West Inner Garden is actually surrounded by dense primeval forests, the middle area is the grassland of the horse race, the entire West Inner Garden is more than ten miles long, only a few miles wide, and thousands of armed guards are stationed inside.

Beyond the West Inner Garden, he could see the tall and magnificent city walls, and the majestic palace complex could be faintly seen within the city walls, where was the imperial palace of the Tianwu Empire, and he could even see a majestic palace gate.

Yuan Ba was thinking nonsense, suddenly a huge black shadow swept over his head, Yuan Ba's eyesight is excellent, at a glance he recognized this is a male pheasant, dragging long tail feathers, the feathers are very gorgeous, last month he and Niuniu went to the Yuan Night, a pheasant feather will be sold for ten yuan.

Yuan Ba saw that it was no longer a pheasant, but a hanging of money flying in the air, and now he was thirsty for money, shouted and chased after him.

Three years of foundation building and devilish training have made his physical strength daunting to ordinary people, he simply took off his cloth boots, ran barefoot, his body was as fast as a ghost, and in an instant he chased less than thirty steps away from the pheasant, and the pheasant also felt the danger, it was just about to fly into the forest, Yuan Ba had drawn his bow like a full moon, a loose string, the arrow was like a meteor, and it shot through the pheasant in the air with great speed, it screamed and fell from the sky.

Yuanba was overjoyed, he rushed up the valley slope, found the prey in a clump of mountain grass, the pheasant was dead, the blood flowed down the arrow shaft, Yuanba grabbed the arrow shaft and lifted the pheasant, weighing about two or three catties, the feathers were very long, very showy, he counted, there were fifteen beautiful feathers.

In fact, the pheasant feathers in autumn are the best, and now it is early spring, and the quality is still a little worse, but the scarcity is expensive, and there is definitely no problem with selling these feathers for a penny.

Yuan Ba's heart was overjoyed, this was his first prey, and it was also his lunch, he took the arrow back to the quiver, pulled his foot and ran deep into the valley, over the valley, there was Ba Shui.

Half an hour later, Yuan Ba, who was sitting by the river meditating, slowly woke up from his pranayama, he only felt full of energy, as if he could not exhaust his strength, but his courage was so hungry that he cooed.

When he turned around, he saw that the fire burning next to him had been extinguished, so he jumped up with joy, pushed the fire away, dug out a crust of roasted mud from the ground, and struck it with a knife, the crust fell off, revealing hot white flesh inside, and the aroma came to his nose.

This kind of method called flower chicken Yuan Qing saw in the book, the first attempt, actually succeeded, the only thing he didn't know was that in fact, there was no need to pluck the feathers, the feathers fell off naturally after baking, and it took him half a day to pluck the feathers.

Yuan Ba sprinkled the salt, he was already salivating, picked up the fat white ripe pheasant and chewed it, while gnawing, while looking at the bunch of feathers planted in the grass next to him, fluttering in the air like a flag, he said to himself and smiled: "Yes! There is something to eat, there is something to earn, and you can practice archery, such a day is good." ”

But as soon as he had bitten two bites, he suddenly threw off the fat chicken, turned over and pulled the knife in his hand, and he felt a strong aura of danger......

Within fifty paces, something was approaching him, he could hear it clearly, there was the sound of limbs stepping on a branch, it was certainly not a man, he put the knife into his belt, picked up his bow and arrows and searched everywhere, his vision was so different that no slight change could escape his eyes.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and on a laurel tree thirty paces away, his eyes met a pair of fierce and sharp eyes.
