v1 Chapter 102: Hunting Dongshan

In the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of the Yan State Xuanwei, on the morning of October 3, His Majesty brought 10,000 troops, nearly 60 civil and military officials, and the selected more than 30 outstanding young people from the Yan country who participated in the hunting. Amid the roar of the salute, the mighty drove to Dongshan for hunting.

   Dongshan, also known as Donghuang Mountain, is about two hundred miles away from the holy city. The holy city was built in the valley and surrounded by mountains. Donghuang Mountain is the name of a mountain area east of the holy city. Because the highest mountain is called Donghuang, the mountain area is also called Donghuang Mountain, with an area of ​​about 500 miles.

After the establishment of the   yan country, Donghuang Mountain was designated as a royal hunting place, and no people were allowed to enter. Compared with the mountains around the holy city, Donghuang Mountain is relatively low, and the mountain is relatively flat, not where the dangerous mountains and rivers are. However, the holy city is full of mountains, so Donghuang Mountain is not isolated. Behind it is an unknown high mountain range. The mountains are dangerous and deep, and there are many prey that ordinary people cannot capture.

   Therefore, for safety reasons, Donghuang Mountain has always been guarded, with the purpose of preventing the fierce beasts from other mountains from entering and ensuring absolute safety during royal hunting.

   Chi Weihua was injured and could not go hunting with others in Donghuang Mountain today. And the young men, including Zuo Xiaoyong and Shi Mutian, rode high-headed horses behind the team of the princes, and set off toward Dongshan with their heads high.

  All the preparations have been suspended before, so after coming to Dongshan, there is no need to arrange too much. According to the previous arrangement, every person who enters the mountains to hunt is equipped with corresponding pawns. On the one hand, these people ensure the safety of the hunters, but also provide them with some necessary help, but they cannot directly participate in hunting. All the princes, those young people are the same, the princes are all fifty, and Shi Mutian is eighty!

After    arrived, everyone saw that the emperor’s corridor had already been built, and someone was waiting there. Almost all the young people present were not out hunting for the first time, but this was definitely the first time with the emperor, and it was Dongshan. All of them were excited and eager to try.

   The princes are also full of energy, wanting to perform well, and strive to get a good impression in front of the emperor. The prince took a riding whip and sat on the dragon chair, looking at the young people who were participating in the hunting standing beside him, saying, "I have already said that this year's hunting scope is no longer limited to Dongshan. We have to go inside. There are more beasts to get a bigger harvest. Of course, there may be a certain danger. I will ask you again now if anyone is willing to quit. If anyone wants to, I will definitely not blame it!"

   These young people are not stupid, let alone the princes staring at the chair with hot eyes, those young people who don’t want to have a good future in the future, shrink back at this time, how will the emperor think of himself? Not to mention just hunting, there are so many troops, even going up to the knife mountain, down to the pan, you can't frown at this time.

  The emperor saw everyone with a firm expression and nodded happily, "Go!"

   Autumn hunting officially begins!

  The first day was naturally in Dongshan. Since it is getting late after the day comes, everyone's harvest today is not very good. The emperor himself only hit a deer, a few hares, and everyone else was similar.

   At night, young people were sitting around in the open space at the foot of the mountain, setting up a fire, eating meat and drinking, and it was very lively. The emperor seemed to be infected and joined the young people.

On the second and third days, the harvest was a little bit bigger, but not very rich. For a long time, there were deer, hare, fox, first type, very few wolves, and very few bears. The fourth prince Li Yin captured a tiger, which was an accident. Happy!

  On the eighth day of the hunt, the emperor decided to go to the back mountain of Dongshan!

  The sword of interest has been following you by the emperor's side, keeping every step of the way, but there is something wrong with the Three Laws, and there is no company.

The terrain of Dongshan Mountain is relatively open, the mountain is wide, relatively flat, and not sinister, but when it comes to the back mountain, the form turns sharply down, the towering mountain can not be seen at the top, it is full of clouds and mist, and the straight peaks are steep. , The boulders are isolated, and the distance between the mountains is very narrow, and the army cannot enter at all, let alone the horses.

  In Dongshan, horses are very important when hunting, because horses can rampage here. But behind Dongshan, the horse immediately lost its usefulness.

   This is why the emperor decided to come to Houshan.

   Few people come in here, there are a lot of wild animals, there are many ferocious large animals, even the birds in the sky appear to be more fat. Because the mountain road is too difficult to travel and supplies are very difficult, it is no longer possible to bring many soldiers into the mountain. Even the emperor himself brought thirty master guards.

No one of the other princes has taken ten people at most. It seems cumbersome. Those young people are even less likely to bring more. Therefore, each of them only brought five soldiers, and the other soldiers and ministers stayed behind. Higashiyama's yard.

   Although the terrain and the environment are much more dangerous, the rewards are also very generous. On the first day in the back mountain, there were more than 30 tigers hit by the Tigers alone, more than the eight days in Dongshan combined.

   The emperor was happy in the evening. He did not leave Houshan to go to the mountain. Instead, he sent someone to inform the people of the line and rested on the mountain at night. The emperor was very happy with the same barbecue and drinking, and the princes did their best to make the emperor happy, and the young people were completely immersed in this state of excitement, all of them were talking about how they would fight the tiger during the day. , How to improve tomorrow and so on.

None of the people present were ordinary people~lightnovelpub.net~ They were all martial artists with a good reach. Zuo Xiaoyong was in the realm of martial arts, very good. He had a strong bow in his hand and killed a fierce tiger. Dangerous things, and the emperor, everyone can see that the people who may be present, in terms of martial arts cultivation, he is the highest.

   I don't know if it was inspired by the first day, or everyone had forgotten the sinisterness of the back mountain, or because they were too confident in their own abilities, the hunting team moved quickly to the back mountain and deeper without knowing it.

   The next day’s harvest was even richer. The soldiers who followed were already too busy. Some small prey such as hares had been discarded, and the hunters were no longer interested in the small prey.

   On the third day, it still does!

On the fourth day, the prince was injured in the morning. He was slapped by a huge bear. Fortunately, the sword was not far away and was rescued in time. The injury was not serious, but he could no longer hunt. The prince had no choice but to return. The emperor might be in a real mood. He was very happy and didn't mean to blame the prince for his incompetence at all, but before he left, he looked very disturbed at the brothers. In the afternoon, the three princes, the seventh princes, and several young people in the holy city were also injured to varying degrees and returned.

   In the evening, Xijian came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, let's leave tomorrow!"

   The emperor nodded, "The beast inside is indeed powerful, but I really haven't been so passionate in many years." Xi Jian thought for a while and said, "Okay, my minister understands!"

   My brother talked, he was very happy, what the younger brother can say, naturally only accompanied. However, what Xijian was worried about was not the emperor's safety, but the princes. After all, he knew his cultivation level very well, and the emperor would not have any problems. What I am afraid of is that a certain prince has an accident. If the emperor is really going to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man, he probably can't bear the blow of this kind of old bereavement!
