Chapter 1678: Ren Zijuan Playing with Fire, Chaos (2)

  Chapter 1678 Renzi Juan Playing with Fire, Chaos (2)

  The autumn wind is blowing, and the flags are flying.

  Emperor Yonglong looked around with great interest.

  Emperor Yonglong, who was slightly thinner, was full of energy at this time.

  The ochre-yellow tight-fitting robe was covered with a bay red hunting vest, and a layer of thin leather armor was easily draped on the body, with a bit of complacency in his complacency.

   Gently clamping the horse's belly, the crotch under the crotch raised its head and stepped forward, especially heroic.

King Zhongshun, King Zhonghui, King Lianzhong, King Zhongxin, the two eldest princesses Yongning and Yongan, and a thousand younger generations of King Shou, King Fu, King Li, King Lu, King Gong, and the guards surrounded, There was a rush of people.

  The group of people were all elated and smiling on the surface, as if they were looking forward to the opening of the most grand event in the autumn of Iron Net Mountain.

  Although Prince Yizhong, who surprised many people the most, did not show up, but Prince Yizhong, Shi Zicheng County Prince was also among them, which surprised many people.

We all know that the emperor doesn't like to see Prince Yizhong very much. In the past two or three months, Prince Yizhong has been staying in the mansion for two or three months. They didn't even count him.

  On the other hand, Shizi Chengjun Wang often went to Renshou Palace to visit the emperor's grandfather, and accompanied the Taishang Emperor to practice calligraphy and painting. He also had a lot of contacts with scholars in Beijing, and his reputation was quite good.

   But this time I came to Iron Net Mountain to participate in the autumn festival, which is not only a bit unexpected, but also seems reasonable.

   After all, this is Qiu Sui from the Zhang family, so it is only natural that he will participate as a child of the Zhang family.

However, King Chengjun seemed to be a bit late when he came. He hadn't seen him for the past ten days, and he didn't show up until yesterday. I don't know if it was because the emperor didn't summon him, so he stayed behind closed doors, or Because it was already too late.

  Crowded around the outer standard-bearer guards and the four-guard battalion, the distance is thirty feet away.

   A pair of Shenshu camp soldiers in front began to clean up along the hunting route early on, and the warrior camp had to conduct another check before the emperor set off to prevent accidents.

   "Zhang Xiao!"

  Emperor Yonglong saw the handsome King Cheng Jun who was chatting and laughing with King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui, and his heart was blocked for no reason.

  Compared with his own sons, Zhang Xiao is several years older than Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji, and he is now twenty-seven or eight.

  Handsome in appearance, free and easy in demeanor, he has a very good reputation among the scholars in Beijing. Compared with Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji, who blindly use poetry and literature to invite friends, Zhang Xiao really has some literary talents.

Emperor Yonglong even read his poems and essays, and he was much better than Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Ji in all aspects. Perhaps only Zhang Su had the opportunity to be compared with Zhang Xiao after studying in Qingtan Academy for a few years. There is some jealousy in my heart.

   "Nephew has met the emperor's uncle." Zhang Xiao bowed politely.

"Well, your father is not in good health. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are heroic and high-spirited. Today is a big hunt. You have to show some skills. Don't let others look down upon you." He smiled thoughtfully.

  Although Zhang Xiao has a word Xiao in his name, he is not good at archery in the six arts, and he is not good at the second art.

  Of course it doesn't mean that you can't ride horses and chariots, and you can't shoot and hunt, but it is slightly worse than Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Ji who hunt and play all day long.

  Zhang Xiao's face froze slightly, but then he smiled: "Uncle Huang knows that my nephew's archery skills are far inferior to those of my younger brothers, but since this is a big hunt, my nephew should work hard..."

  Responding well to what he said, Emperor Yonglong also felt that he was a little narrow-minded, but seeing Zhang Xiao's indifferent image of a gentleman, he still couldn't let go of it.

  Why do my sons look like a low-profile version compared to other people's high-gloss images? Maybe Zhang Su can compete with Zhang Xiao when he becomes an adult, but it will take several years.

  But as long as Zhang Yu can become the crown prince, everything can be easily solved, which makes Emperor Yonglong more convinced of something.

As the people participating in the big hunting gradually gathered, Emperor Yonglong waved his hand lightly, and dozens of clans participating in the hunting stepped forward bravely. Of course, all of this was a step slower than Emperor Yonglong. The samurai also began to fan out, maintaining guard formation.

  The last big hunting game of Tiewangshan Autumn has officially begun!

Compared with the previous big hunts, this time the scale is larger, and the route involved is thirty or forty miles back and forth. Starting from the palace, you have to cross a small stream first, then a slightly undulating meadow, and then walk After going out for seven or eight miles, we began to enter the complex area of ​​gentle slopes and valleys mixed with trees, shrubs and grasslands under the foothills. This is the best hunting ground.

  Because of the long-term mountain closure, not only a large number of wild boars, roe deer, gazelles, and red foxes live in this area, but also occasionally black bears and leopards come and go from Huapi Ridge, which is a good place for hunting.

  The standard-bearer guards and the four-guard battalion who came to this area first were responsible for driving out wild animals such as wild boars, roe deer, gazelles, or black bears, so that the emperor-led clans would hunt and kill them bravely.

  Following the yelling of the standard-bearer guards and four-guard battalion soldiers who were driving in the bushes on both sides, Emperor Yonglong and his party began to gallop on horseback, and their bows and arrows also began to exert force frequently.

Emperor Yonglong is not the kind of character who grew up in the deep palace. As a loyal and filial king who seemed hopeless back then, he was also good at shooting and hunting. He once shot and killed a bear single-handedly in twenty years. His heart was kind of hot.

  Perhaps this is the last time I will have an autumn festival. I am afraid that I will not have such a large-scale autumn festival in the next few years, and I should leave it to my children and grandchildren.

Seeing a wild boar and a group of young wild boars being driven out from the bushes at the foothills in the north by the soldiers of the Four Guards Battalion, they immediately aroused enthusiastic cheers from the group. A little wild boar also ran madly along the foothills towards the west behind its mother as if it had gone crazy.

  Emperor Yonglong rode a thousand horses, stretched his bow and set an arrow briskly, and the arrow flew out with a "swish", nailed to the back of the big wild boar.

   Emperor Yonglong didn't bother to do anything to the little wild boar. The big wild boar weighing three to four hundred catties was the prey in his mind.

  Actually, he still felt a little regretful that he could not chase out one or two prey such as leopards and black bears, which would be more meaningful, but such a big wild boar is enough to comfort him this round of autumn.

  He doesn't like the feeling that everyone sends the prey to him, but prefers to hunt and harvest in his own way.

The ferocious wild boar was hit in the back by Emperor Yonglong's arrow, and it was in great pain. However, facing the formation surrounded by dozens of cavalry, although the wild boar was stupid, he knew that he would not be able to escape from the front, so he could only follow along crazily. The edge of the foothills rushed towards the far west, and a group of wild boars followed closely behind their mother, which provoked the shouting and shouting of a large group of people behind.

  If the wild boar was rushing towards him blankly, Emperor Yonglong would have to be more cautious, but now that the wild boar retreated and ran away, his confidence suddenly increased.

  Although the last wild boar hunt was many years ago, and it was far less majestic than the one in front of me, but the other party ran away and brought a group of young wild boars, which undoubtedly became the best hunting target for this group of people. Hunting? Isn't it just the tune of killing everything?

  Emperor Yonglong took the lead in urging the horses forward, followed by King Zhongshun and King Lianzhong. King Shou and King Li were not to be outdone, and fired arrows again and again. The two little wild boars struggled and rolled on the ground amidst the screams...

  Emperor Yonglong was always pregnant with Dachang, and this trip became more and more vigorous, and he had already rushed seven or eight miles before he knew it.

  The wild boar refused to be caught without a fight. There were only four or five young wild boars around, but the speed did not drop at all, and they also picked up the rugged bush belt at the foot of the mountain.

   After running around, Emperor Yonglong was also sweating profusely, and the cool breeze coming from the valley made him feel more comfortable. The elixir he took today was just right, otherwise he would still be unable to bear it.

  Just a few arrows shot down, but not as smooth as the first arrow, and repeatedly failed, only one arrow fell on the wild boar's buttocks, but it made the opponent even more ferocious.

He intends to ask the guards who have been following closely behind him to take the lead, but the third, eighth, and ninth are all around him, and some of them can't speak this way, and he is still a little unwilling. Could it be that Dashou couldn't be satisfied this last time? return? I always want to blog this time and try it, especially when the wild boar is a little tired after running this time, and the speed has slowed down significantly.

  Tightly clamping the horse's belly, Emperor Yonglong gritted his teeth, allowing the sweat on his brow to drench his brows, and drew his bow again, but he never thought that Wuzi under his crotch would suddenly become agitated, and his speed would suddenly increase, almost knocking him off the horse.

   Before he could recall, the black horse had already leaped suddenly, throwing away the guards behind who hadn't reacted by a few body distances, getting closer to the wild boar.

After being surprised, Emperor Yonglong didn't realize anything. Instead, he was overjoyed. The closer the distance, the greater his confidence. He rode his horse to grab the side of the wild boar, and drew his bow to the arrow. He didn't care at all that the guards behind had been thrown away. a lot.

   "Whoosh!"

  Another arrow hit the wild boar's left eye fiercely, and penetrated deeply from its left eye. The wild boar hissed and roared in pain, and turned its head to hit Yonglong Emperor.

  Frightened, Wu Hao became even more irritable, leaped suddenly, and ran towards the west, but the dying wild boar turned back at this time, and rushed towards Yonglong Emperor who was fleeing west.

  …

  Feng Shimian and Su Delun curled up quietly in the bushes, the crossbow in their hands had been pushed forward.

  In front of the two of them, one drew a bow and shot an arrow, and the other took the posture of killing a flying eagle with a thunderous strike.

   There are three other people lurking behind the boulders in the valley ten feet away, and the last group is hiding in the grass in the inevitable valley.

Because no one can predict that the target will come from such a large valley, and there are several expert guards around the target at any time, that is to say, there is only one chance to make a surprise attack, so they can only be divided into several groups to take risks Give it a go.
