my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 301
Zhu Zhanji shot three arrows in a row.

But after all, he was still young, and he fired three bows in a row, exhausting too much energy, so he reined in his horse panting, and turned over.

Zhu Di stepped forward quickly, hugged him in his arms, and shouted: "This grandson is like me."

There is indescribable excitement and pride in words.

Zhu Zhanji said: "My grandson can't shoot well."

The honorable ministers around him couldn't help praising him. It's really remarkable that at such an age, he can still shoot without missing a beat.

If they were at this age, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do it.

So, everyone shouted long live again.

Only Zhang Anshi squatted on the stone again, watching silently, speechless.

After being praised, Zhu Zhanji returned to Zhang Anshi's side, squatted down side by side with Zhang Anshi, held his face together and said, "Uncle, what do you think of my shot?"

"It's okay." Zhang Anshi said.

Zhu Zhanji said: "I'm also afraid that I can't shoot well, but today I'm lucky, I didn't miss the shot, why don't uncle shoot?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I'll wait for them to finish shooting, and then come to the end, so as not to wait for Uncle to come out, everyone will not be able to shoot, and everyone's happiness will be defeated."

"Oh." Zhu Zhanji blinked his eyes: "I will cheer uncle later."

Driven by Zhu Zhanji, the atmosphere became more and more heated.

Everyone came on stage one after another, and one person even shot nine rabbits directly.

Poor those rabbits, they didn't provoke anyone, they were shot down one by one for no reason, and then picked up by the excited eunuchs by their ears.

Of course, there were also people who failed to hit the shot several times, and some people accidentally fell off the horse, which caused everyone to laugh.

Zhu Di was furious, with a sullen face, pointing at the one who fell off the horse, he said: "I don't even know how to ride a horse. It can be seen that I must have neglected horseback riding and shooting. How can the court expect such a person in the future? Come on." People, drag it down, beat a few whips, write down his name, if there is no improvement in the next review, he will not be awarded the title."

These words can be said to be extremely severe, frightening all the disciples of the honored ministers into silence.

If he can't seize the title, and he may be dragged to the frontier to guard the border, then his life will be over, and the title he might get will be given to his younger brother.

The scolded scolded son was dragged down with his head drooping, his father hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your minister is ineffective in teaching his son, and he is a crime of death."

Zhu Di wanted to make an example of others, so he sternly said: "You enjoy the royal salary, and you are extremely rich. If you teach your son like this and let him let him go, who else can be trusted in my Ming Dynasty? This time it is only a little punishment, and there must be no next time." .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

But at this moment, a guy shot his arrow crookedly, and the arrow flew straight towards Zhang Anshi.

Everyone in Zhang An was numb, his body was stiff, and he only had time to open his eyes and shout: "There are thorns..."

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji overthrew Zhang Anshi quickly with his eyes and hands, and fell to the side while protecting Zhang Anshi, and the arrow deflected a few feet away.

Zhang Anshi was overthrown to the ground, but looking at the arrow stuck deep in the ground, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear, and his face turned pale with fright.

Zhu Zhanji helped Zhang Anshi stand up, and said with concern: "Uncle, you are not scared to death, are you?"

Zhang Anshi regained his composure, and then said angrily: "Mother, I have hidden so far away, why are you just coming towards me in an unbiased manner? This must be a conspiracy..."

The guy who missed the shot was so frightened that he fell off his horse and almost kneeled in the direction of Zhu Di to plead guilty.

Zhu Di seemed to have noticed the situation here, and he was even more furious. He shouted: "The rabbit is in the east. You shoot west. Are you trying to murder the emperor's grandson and Zhang Qing? You Niang, come here, take it down, and hang it for me!" Get up and fight."

After speaking, Zhu Di asked the eunuch to call Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Anshi to him.

Zhu Di looked back and forth at Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Anshi with concern, and said in his mouth, "Are you all right?"

Zhang Anshi was still in shock, his expression was still ugly.

Zhu Zhanji said proudly: "The arrow was aimed at the grandson. Fortunately, Uncle has quick eyesight and quick hands and protected the grandson."

After Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but looked at Zhang Anshi with admiration, and said with emotion: "Zhang Qing is usually not agile, but he always comes in handy at critical moments. Proof passed."

The crowd applauded.

In fact, Zhu Di also knew that Zhang Anshi would be ashamed if he rode and shot horses, but he couldn’t find an excuse not to take part in the review. If Zhang Anshi didn’t review it, others would inevitably say that he was unfair to Zhu Di. After all, this time, he was determined. I want to deal with a group of children of honorable ministers severely.

It's all right now, Zhang Anshi has made a contribution to protecting the emperor's grandson, even if he passed the test.

Zhu Zhanji grinned happily.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this... this..."

He is a little ashamed. It is better to be a nephew. The nephew loves him. Now it is a bit embarrassing for him to admit that he has protected Zhu Zhanji.

So Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, everyone has reviewed it, how can I pull it down? I implore Your Majesty, the prospective minister will give it a try."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and scolded this guy in his heart: I will give you the steps, but you still have to climb the pole!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was difficult to say anything, so Zhu Di had no choice but to say: "Okay, then later, you also shoot a few arrows."

Zhang Anshi said: "I shoot last, so as not to defeat everyone's happiness."

Zhu Di said, "It's up to you."

Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanji retreated to that corner again, but this time, because of previous negligence, the imperial guards began to set up guards around the two of them to avoid stray arrows.

The two squatted side by side, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but looked at Zhu Zhanji beside him, and said with emotion: "My dear and beloved little Zhanji, you still have a conscience, uncle didn't love you for nothing."

Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle, this is what it should be. I have grown up, and I will naturally protect Uncle in the future. The mother and concubine said that I only have one uncle. If Uncle is gone, I will have no uncle. "

Zhang Anshi hummed, feeling extremely relieved, and said cheerfully: "Later, I'll take you to kill you."

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "What is quack?"

Zhang Anshi said: "You will know later, when the time comes... the two of us, uncle and nephew, will be the world's number one rabbit killer."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was holding a tree branch and scribbling on the ground, as if he had no interest in it.

Immediately afterwards, all the disciples of the Xunchen were unavoidably pulled out because they were unfamiliar with riding and shooting, and they were severely reprimanded.

Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang was the worst. Because he was riding on a horse, his face turned green with fright, so he forgot to draw his bow. Everyone saw that he was at a loss on the horse for half a cup of tea, but he didn't see him bending his bow and setting an arrow. The arrow came out, but the bow fell down in fright.

Duke Ding Xu Jingchang is the youngest. His father and Xu Huizu are brothers. His father, Xu Zengshou, was brought by Zhu Yuanzhang's side in his early years and appointed as a court guard. After that, he followed his brother-in-law Zhu Di to the desert , made great contributions, and was later promoted to the left governor of the governor's mansion of the five armies.

Logically speaking, he is considered an extremely human minister among military officials, but it is difficult for Zhu Di to calm down. After he heard that Zhu Di had rebelled, the first thing he did was to secretly convey military information to Zhu Di and secretly support Zhu Di, but the court found out. He was finally killed.

Zhu Di captured the city of Nanjing and was grateful for his brother-in-law's contribution, so he posthumously named him Dingguo Duke and made his son Xu Jingchang succeed him.

This is also the origin of the Xu family's family of two men.

This Xu Jingchang is a young knight, even now, he is only fifteen or sixteen, how can he be familiar with bow and horse on weekdays?This time I was timid and frightened.

Zhu Di was so angry that he called him in front of him, picked up the whip, and slapped him several times.

Xu Jingchang was beaten so loudly that Zhu Di cursed angrily: "If your father is alive and knows that there is such an unworthy son, he will definitely teach me to take care of you. You bastard, who will be able to point at you in the future?" ?”

Zhu Neng and the others at the side quickly pulled Zhu Di, persuading him: "Your Majesty, forget it, I'm still a child."

"Because he is young and doesn't learn well, he wants to fight. This guy is not as good as the emperor's grandson who is eight or nine years old." Zhu Di was furious.

Xu Jingchang exclaimed bitterly: "My brother-in-law doesn't know how to bow a horse either. Isn't it different that he also contributes to the court? Doesn't Your Majesty still praise brother-in-law? Brother-in-law often says that one needs to use one's brains."

Zhang Anshi heard it from a distance, his face changed, and he immediately lowered his head, pretending not to hear.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the Xu family, the Zhang family, and the Zhu family is really a bit messy.

For example, Zhu Di is the brother-in-law of Xu Jingchang’s father, Xu Zengshou, Zhang Anshi is Xu Jingchang’s brother-in-law, and Zhu Gaochi’s son Zhu Gaochi is Zhang Anshi’s brother-in-law. Up to now, Zhang Anshi has not been able to distinguish where the relationship is.

Zhu Di cursed: "You bastard, how dare you speak stubbornly."

"Don't dare." Xu Jingchang saw that the situation was not good, but he quickly admitted his cowardice, and immediately bowed down and said, "Wan Shi."

Zhu Di said angrily: "Pull it up, you are not allowed to go out in March, and teach people to watch him."

Xu Jingchang, however, felt as if he had been pardoned, and said: "Thank you for your kindness."

Everyone finished shooting, and to Zhu Di's disappointment, although Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, Qiu Song, and Gu Xingzu were all good, what surprised him even more was the emperor's grandson, which exceeded his expectations Besides, the vast majority of people still neglected riding and shooting.

He scolded a group of people severely, and asked people to record the file, but he still couldn't understand his hatred, but Yi Shiha saw Zhu Di's thoughts, and said, "Please your Majesty, please shoot."

Yi Shiha opened his mouth, and everyone said: "Your Majesty, please shoot."

Zhu Di's face softened a little, and he also wanted to show everyone a demonstration. He agreed immediately, and asked someone to lead the horse, turn up and down neatly, and then began to urge the horse to run wildly.

In the wind and lightning, around the hunting fence, bow and arrows, each arrow shot out like a cannonball.

The eunuch shouted excitedly: "Shoot one."

"Shoot two..."

"three……"

"Four..."

"..."

"Seven..."

At this time, Zhu Di slowly slowed down his horse and threw the bow and arrow.

Everyone burst into cheers.

Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanji almost broke their throats: "Long live, long live!"

Then Zhang Anshi applauded, and Zhu Zhanji followed suit, applauding along with him.

Zhu Di's face was flushed with pride, but soon he looked regretful, and said quietly: "I'm old, I'm old, my body is not as good as before, when I and our old fellows get old, this country will still point to it." Who's going to guard it? Damn it..."

Zhu Neng was praised for his son's outstanding performance, so at this time his face was also red, and he said: "Your Majesty, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Zhu Di snorted and said, "If you don't work hard now, you still hope to be blessed. If you have a bird, who is born blessed, but who has no ability, do you still hope for blessing?"

Zhu Neng grinned, happy.

He likes to hear Zhu Di scolding other people's sons. It should always be when I, Zhu Neng, have a bright face, don't they all say my son is stupid?Your son is smart, and you are also scolded.

At this time, Zhang Anshi saw that today's hunt was coming to an end, so he stood up hurriedly, pulled Zhu Zhanji and said, "Let's go."

At that moment, Zhang Anshi came in front of Zhu Di.

After saluting to Zhu Di, he said, "Your Majesty, I'm about to shoot."

Zhu Di seemed a little tired, and looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Go, go, come, give Zhang Anshi my horse."

But Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I don't need to ride a horse."

"Not riding a horse?" Zhu Di couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But anyway, he didn't expect much from this guy, so he said: "Then you are allowed to use the step bow."

But I heard Zhang Anshi say: "I don't need a bow. This review, didn't I say that it will kill more rabbits than anyone else? I just need to shoot rabbits to death."

Zhu Di was a little worried, this guy...can't mess around, can he?

But at this time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhu Di could only agree, and said, "It's up to you."

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister has gone."

After that, he ran away in a hurry.

Many people were expecting Zhang Anshi to come out, especially Xu Jingchang, the most unlucky one who was punished. Although he was whipped, he is now happy.

He excitedly said to his disciples who were punished together: "My brother-in-law is here, my brother-in-law is here, my brother-in-law can't even draw his bow, this is all right, His Majesty won't blame us anymore."

But at this moment... Zhang Anshi was seen pulling a small cannon.

It is said to be a cannon, but it is really small. It has only two wheels, a large pipe thicker than an arm is clamped on it, and two shells are placed on the side. The most interesting thing is that this thing also has a small wheels. "

Zhang Anshi was like a tracker at this moment, tugging on it ouchily, when everyone saw it, someone laughed and said, "No cannon is allowed."

Zhang Anshi ignored them, and pulled this thing to the entrance of the hunting ground. There are wild animals all over the mountains and plains, all of which were driven from the nearby mountains.

I shot arrows just now, although many hares were shot to death, but after all, the arrows did not make much movement, and most of the wild animals still looked leisurely.

Zhang Anshi set up his machine gun.

After further improvements, this thing is much simpler. Of course...the loading capacity is larger, and the hundreds of bullets loaded in advance are all in the magazine.

Zhang Anshi tried it, and began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.

Try to take a look.

Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi in a daze.

Zhu Di also became suspicious, and Zhu Neng beside him muttered, "Your Majesty, this is not like a cannon."

Zhu Di nodded, but still remained silent, only frowning slightly, watching steadily.

Based on what he knew about Zhang Anshi, he always felt that what Zhang Anshi brought out was not simple!
Xu Jingchang was on the other side, still smiling with his eyes arched, looking very happy: "My brother-in-law is going to play tricks, and he must be fooling around again. Don't worry, such a small cannon can't kill a few rabbits, Your Majesty." Seeing him opportunistic later, he will definitely be angry."

Everyone nodded and laughed.

Although everyone is scumbag, there is always someone worse than them. Thinking of this, everyone has a feeling that they are not living in vain.

Zhu Zhanji rushed over excitedly, squatted down, looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but said: "Uncle, what are you going to do?"

"Hit a rabbit."

Zhang Anshi debugged very seriously.

"Uncle, do you want to help?"

"Help me later and cover my ears. I'm afraid of using this thing. I'm afraid I'll scare myself."

"Oh."

Zhang Anshi continued to debug carefully. It is indeed made by a skilled craftsman. This is the real craftsman spirit. Now, Zhanji, you have to be careful."

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Uncle, I will protect you."

Not far away, countless wild animals are still looking for food leisurely.

They didn't see the danger approaching.

At this time, Zhang Anshi shouted loudly: "Zhang Anshi is here."

After finishing speaking, he immediately pressed the trigger, and then... cranked the magazine.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhang Anshi yell.

But right now.

Suddenly... da da da...

The muzzle began to smoke.

And then... the crisp rattling sound began to ring in everyone's ears.

The guards were taken aback, and subconsciously began to surround Zhu Di.

Zhu Di kicked away a guard who was about to block his sight: "Don't get in the way."

Immediately after...

da da da da...

The rattling sound was endless.

The seven or eight muzzles began to spew out flames in turn.

Immediately... Countless bullets flew out.

When the wild animals heard the movement, they were frightened and ran like crazy.

But it's too late.

Bullets don't have long eyes, but this kind of dense bullets pour out.

And it was so powerful that there were flying shrapnel everywhere. In an instant, within the hunting enclosure, there were countless hares that were knocked into the air, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

An elk was shot with holes in it in an instant, before it could howl, it fell headlong, and the bullet pierced through its body, but there was no sign of stopping, the bullet that pierced through was shot into the soil again, And so... dusty.

Zhu Di's eyes widened.

Everyone's eyes stared at him in unison, each showing an incredible look.

This thing has a lot of recoil, and Zhang Anshi soon felt that his arm was numb.

Fortunately, this thing has no concept of aiming at all, just shoot it.

Zhu Zhanji became excited. He covered Zhang Anshi's ears, and saw countless bullet casings jumping out, occasionally splashing on his body. It hurt, but he didn't care, his eyes were only excited.

Da da da……

The machine gun showed no signs of stopping.

The magazines changed wildly under Zhang Anshi's hand, and the bullets were fired from different magazines.

This terrifying sound is enough to cause a thousand mountains and birds to fly away.

It's a pity that the wild animals were surrounded by a fence and couldn't escape, so swarms of bees gathered around the fence.

This just gave Zhang Anshi a chance, and the muzzle of the machine gun sprayed flames towards the densest place.

The bullet shot into the body of the wild animal, and suddenly, the hare can be beaten to cut off half of its body.

The rest of the bullet may take away other hares that approached.

The wailing of countless wild animals was covered by the rattling of machine guns.

Not only Zhang Anshi's arms were numb, but his whole body was also numb. To keep himself going, he let out an inspiring voice: "Yeah, yah, yah, yah, yah..."

In a short time, hundreds of bullets were fired.

Under the smoke and fire, the muzzle of the machine gun smoked. Fortunately, because there are eight or nine barrels, so... Although the barrel is smoking, the barrel can still support it.

At this time, Zhang Anshi said: "Zhan Ji, scoop up some water, and cool the barrel of the gun."

"Oh... oh..." Zhu Zhanji reacted.

Zhang Anshi began to pull out the bullet chain that had been knocked out, and began to replace it with a new bullet chain clip that had already been loaded with bullets.

When everyone was still in shock, Zhang Anshi's voice was first heard: "Yeah, yah, yah, yah..."

Then, it started again.

da da da da da...

Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi in horror, and the machine gun that kept emitting fireworks.

The wild animals began to stir again.

Countless wild animals flew, and countless wild animal corpses littered the field.

Zhang Anshi got excited and shouted even louder.

At this moment, he was like a cold-faced rabbit killer.

Zhu Di already sucked in a breath of cold air, at this moment even he felt that his calves were a little weak.

Zhu Neng, Xu Huizu, and Qiu Fu also changed their faces, and their eyes couldn't hide the shock.

The eunuch who was going to report the number was already paralyzed with fright.

All the guards were silent, but their eyes were about to pop out.

Xu Jingchang wailed, and the other teenagers were even more frustrated. At this moment, where do they still have the half-divided spirit to compete with each other?I just feel numb.

da da da da...

click...

The wheel finally stopped turning.

It must have been stuck.

The rattling sound just stopped.

Zhang Anshi only felt that he was sweating profusely, panting heavily, although he hadn't counted how many rabbits he had killed yet.

But... Zhang Anshi is confident that he should be able to break the records of the predecessors, even the records of later generations, such as the record of a certain Emperor Kang who loves to kill rabbits, should have been broken.

It is said that Kang killed 380 five rabbits in one day. Zhang Anshi felt that as long as he was given time, he could kill [-] rabbits a day.

And this time...

silence.

The entire paddock was silent, and almost no one made a sound.

Only the Adam's apple rolled, and then made the sound of swallowing saliva.

The wild animals in the paddock are all dead, and occasionally some can still move, but now they seem to be lying on the ground because of the desire to survive, their eyes are narrowed, but their bodies seem to be frozen Stand still, play dead...

In this eerie silence, Zhang Anshi said in a haughty voice, "Go and count how many you killed."
