Chapter 416: Hunting

Everyone led a large number of samurai, and no one dared to take charge all the way, so they went straight out of the north gate and galloped towards the barren mountains on the outskirts of the city.

Li Gao followed behind the three on foot, the other of whom was at the same speed as him, holding a large banner with the word "leaf" in his hand, followed closely by a group of sword-wielding samurai.

The group strayed from the avenue and soon entered the sparsely populated mountainous area. The mountains stretch together, and the beasts chirp in the depths of the jungle. Fortunately, the terrain is gentle, the distance between the trees is large, and the horses can still gallop through the forest, and the view is quite open.

On the way, he encountered a few small beasts, and they were quickly scared away by the voices.

Over a small hill, Ye Yingru called Qin Yan, and the three of them grabbed the reins and looked at each other. The foliage below is verdant and more vivid in the sun, and the chirping of insects rises and falls, and the green leaves on the branches are blown by the wind like waves. Nice view. But there were still higher peaks in the distance, and a blue ribbon stretched deep into the forest, winding around the bend into the other side of the mountain.

"It is said that there is a trapped dragon cave on the other side of the mountain, and there are monsters in it. Yulang, let's go there and have a look!" Ye Yingru raised his horsewhip and pointed to the mountains in the distance, and turned his face to Qin Yan and said.

Before Qin Yan could answer, Li Gao behind him had already shouted in panic: "Miss, no! How can Miss's golden body be in danger......"

Ye Yingru snorted: "If you keep hiding in a safe corner, how can you see the scenery on the top of the mountain?"

"But......" Li Gao cast a plea glance at Yu Bo, Yu Bo had a very high prestige in the Ye family, and his words had enough weight.

Unexpectedly, Yu Bo waved his hand with a smile, and actually agreed with Ye Yingru's idea: "If Miss wants to grow into an eagle, she must learn to fly in the wind and rain." Xiaoli, even if we are worried about Miss getting hurt, we have to give her such a chance, don't we?"

Ye Yingru smiled lightly: "It's still Yubo who understands me." She raised her right hand and called, "Bring the bow and arrows." ”

The servants sent bows and arrows, and Qin Yan also received a bow and a pot of arrows. Ye Yingru personally tied the quiver for him and said, "The road from the downhill to the Trapped Dragon Cave is the itinerary for today's hunting." Yulang, Fang Gongzi, Miss Xin, let's have a competition and see who is the winner today!"

Qin Yan hurriedly said: "I have never used a bow and arrow, so I won't participate." ”

Xin Xian next to him leaned over and tilted his head at Qin Yan and smiled: "Uncle, if you want to be a hypocrite, you must at least learn the six arts......! By the time you get a little touch, a pot of arrows will be pretty much the same!"

Ye Yingru smiled: "Yulang, look at your demeanor today!"

"Brother Han, let's compare who has gained more!"

"Hey, I said I wouldn't......"

The procession continued on, making its way through the woods below. The descent was a bit steep, and the horses had to pay more attention, and the speed was much slower. From time to time, birds jumped among the branches and leaves, and small beasts scurried behind the grass. The temperature of the sunlight shining through the leaves is just right. The wind is light in the forest, and the bird's song is short.

When jumping down the dirt slope, Fang Qiuyao suddenly stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and the arrow broke through the layers of forest leaves like a meteor, responding to the dull sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh. Two samurai who were in charge of picking up their prey ran over and brought back a dying boar.

When Qin Yan saw his demeanor, he couldn't help but be eager to try, and at this time, he sensed the breath of life in the grass, so he also opened his bow and arrows. He was engrossed in the green grass dozens of paces away, and as the white horse walked slowly, the tip of the arrow always aimed at one of them. The breeze blows, and the tips of the grass sway softly. The creature hidden in the grass seemed to sense an uneasy breath and turned into a black shadow and leaped backwards. The abnormal swing in the grass was caught by Qin Yan's eyes in an instant, and as soon as the black shadow showed its head, an arrow shot straight away like lightning—grazing the black shadow's body and inserting it into the depths of the grass, making a muffled sound. The gray rabbit that had escaped to his death disappeared into the woods for his life.

Qin Yan touched his nose in embarrassment, and turned his face to look to the side. Ye Yingru and Xin Xian both shook their heads with smiles, and the guards let out a slight boo. This arrogant-looking guy turned out to be just a façade!

"Tsk!

"Uncle, if you can't shoot, just say it early, you should let Brother Qiu Yao prepare to make up for an arrow!"

"Brother Han almost hit the first shot, it's already very powerful......"

"Uncle, your skills are so bad, let's practice your hand with a still life first. Do you see that big tree, it's the one in front of you, it's so big, if you get closer, you should be able to shoot it, right?"

Qin Yan waved his hand, rejecting Xin Xian's obviously insulting suggestion, and turned his face to continue searching for the prey around him.

The three horses walked side by side, and Qin Yan was caught in the middle, which actually meant that his hunting range was reduced by half. However, whenever he was a little ahead, Ye Yingru and Xin Xian would consciously catch up, always keeping an even position. Qin Yan was a little helpless, and he didn't find a convenient target until he walked down the hillside.

And Fang Qiuyao, who was a little behind, opened his bow again and again, and gained a lot.

Xin Xian also suggested that Qin Yan poke the big tree with an arrow first to increase the feel, but this ridiculous opinion was rejected by him again.

Next, along the flowing water, where there is a water source, there are obviously more beasts. Qin Yan found three more opportunities, but he didn't grasp the deflection angle after the arrow was shot, and he still found nothing. The most infuriating thing is that a fox was shot in the hind leg and ran away with an arrow into the water. This made Xin Xian laugh for a while.

The boos of the guards became louder and louder, and Rao is Qin Yan's self-proclaimed thick skin began to turn red. He put down his bow and arrows and silently observed Fang Qiuyao's posture of archery. After a long time, the bow was fired again.

The fifth arrow was aimed at a flower deer, Qin Yan held his breath, and saw the opportunity of the flower deer licking the leaves, so he resolutely shot the arrow.

The arrow stretched off the string, bringing a sharp sound of breaking the air, Qin Yan's heart was relieved, and he could already predict the trajectory of the arrow penetrating Hualu's neck. However, at this time, his mind suddenly became in a trance, and he suddenly seemed to see a little girl in green running out from behind a tree and blocking Hualu.

Qin Yan was only stunned for a moment, and then found that the girl's figure and appearance were somewhat similar to Yue Ling. The sharp arrow was coming, and she was still dazed, and reached out to stroke the deer.

"Ling'er!" On the line of life and death, Qin Yan didn't hesitate, he jumped up from the horse's back with a kick of his legs, and his body broke into the wind, faster than the arrow from the string, and in the blink of an eye, he reached in front of the deer, and he could grab the arrow he shot with a stretch of hand.

However, when his hand was halfway out, he touched the arrow-tail carving, and he was stunned to see that there was only a frightened flower deer left in front of him, and there was no little girl.

Damn, hell!

He blinked, and for a moment he froze, the arrow had come out of his hand and pierced into Hualu's neck. The deer screamed and fell down.

There was silence.

Xin Xian was originally yawning, but he froze halfway.

After being stunned, Ye Yingru winked at Qin Yan in confusion, and Fang Qiuyao also looked helpless, they all seemed to be saying: Brother Han, it doesn't seem good that you cheat in this way......

Qin Yan looked back and asked, "Did you see a little girl running over?"

No one answered. After a while, Xin Xian said crisply: "Uncle, are you dreaming, don't think about the little girl all day long!"

Fang Qiuyao and Ye Yingru both showed strange expressions, as if to say: Oh my God, it turns out that you are so good......

Qin Yan saw the strong doubt and indignation in Ye Yingru's eyes, and hurriedly snorted: "Misunderstanding!

......

The safari continued, and Qin Yan hitched a ride on the sixth arrow.

The target was a spotted boar diagonally across the creek. An oily body, a messy mane, and a pair of small eyes that look carefully. The wild boar was drinking water, and seemed to sense that something was wrong, and raised its head to listen to the sound in the air, and suddenly turned and ran away. "Whoosh!" a sharp arrow burst through the air and drove into its hind legs, knocking it to the ground with a terrible scream.

However, it struggled to its feet, limping away into the distance. Another arrow came in an instant, piercing its belly, completely depriving it of life.

This time, there was no boos.

"Great!Yulang, you learn so fast!" Ye Yingru happily praised.

Xin Xian said disdainfully: "Brother Qiu Yao shoots two arrows, and Uncle shoots one arrow with two arrows, this gap is really a bit far!"
