Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Seeing Liu Changan's respectful and respectful attitude, Li Tai did not continue to press the question, but instead sighed: "There are still people who are stupid and unaware of themselves in the human heart. Your father and I We are strangers, and we only know each other by word of mouth, so it is inevitable that we will misunderstand each other, so I sent a letter to express my feelings and refused to come to see him, which shows that we do not cherish this opportunity to get to know each other. "

"How dare you, how dare you... When the Governor was admitted to the ministry, my father was overjoyed. He only thought that even such an unworldly talent as the Governor knew how to use his reputation and send people to socialize. This was a sign that our clan was about to prosper! Unfortunately, when he was about to leave, he was disturbed by a bad illness. He was afraid that his declining posture would offend the nobles, so he rested in his tent for many days. He was incapable of asking questions, so he hurriedly sent a lowly official to come in to pay homage to the governor, expressing his guilt for his neglect. "

Then Liu Changan said again quickly, with a look of sincerity and shame.

After hearing this, Li Tai stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out there is such a hidden secret. It seems that I misunderstood you. So the key to understanding each other is verbal communication. But if you have the courage to show it, you can't let others know. "

As he spoke, he drew out his saber and swung it towards the tiger frame, directly cutting off a tiger's hind leg bone.

When Liu Changan saw this scene, his eyes suddenly condensed, and then he quickly lowered his head. This piece of hind leg tiger bone is a bit thicker than an adult's arm, and is hard in texture. It can be cut off with a single blow. In addition to the sharpness and indestructibility of the sword, it also shows the majestic arm strength of the wielder.

Li Mu next to him also secretly felt distressed when he saw this scene. He had been coveting Li Tai's iron sword for a long time, but no matter how good the quality of the sword was, it was not meant to be used like this!

Li Tai picked up the leg bones from the case, took two steps forward and handed them to Liu Chang'an, and said: "Life is short, and the number of days is determined. Sickness in old age is also caused by the decline of essence, blood and bones. Tiger bones are strong and strong in shape. "Build Qi. Since your father sent his son to see you, I should also give him a gift to help him stay healthy and provide for the rest of his life."

Liu Changan took the tiger bone with both hands above his head and kowtowed his thanks again and again. When Li Tai signaled his disapproval, he stood up carefully and moved to an empty table nearby to sit down.

When he sat down at the table, Liu Changan crossed his hands and said: "My father, with his humble position, went to pay homage to the Governor. He was trapped in a cold countryside and had no valuables to offer. He only offered two slaves raised by his ministry to the Governor. Help the governor enjoy hunting."

Li Tai had already noticed the two carts pulled by their group. There was a huge iron cage on each cart. The iron cages were covered with cloth curtains. From time to time, cries could be heard from inside the curtains, and he already had it in his heart. Guessing that it was a gift from the other party, he suddenly smiled.

"I've heard that your department is known for its skillful craftsmanship and is very good at domesticating raptors. Please introduce the animals quickly so that I and Mr. Wu An can have an eye-opener!"

Due to the convenient geographical location, the Diao Yin Hu Department often makes a living by training the sculptures, and therefore makes a lot of profits. The Liu family was the leader of the Diao Yin tribe, and their methods and scale of training the eagles were among the best among the Hu tribes. Li Tai had also been fascinated by this for a long time, and he quickly asked people to drag up two carts carrying the eagles.

Liu Changan stood up from the seat again and personally removed the curtains from the two carved carts. The strong and tall iron cages on the carts were immediately revealed in full.

During the day, Li Tai was still lamenting about Wu Dadi's Tiger Hunter vehicles, and he smiled knowingly when he saw the appearance of these two vehicles. What was loaded in the iron cage was not Sun Quan, but two giant eagles one meter high.

Probably due to the bumpy journey of being imprisoned, the two large eagles were in poor spirits. Suddenly seeing the light of the campfire, I was slightly frightened. The iron plate scratched by the sharp eagle claws creaked. It flapped its plump wings and flapped against the iron cage fence. The strong wind blew out and made the car shake.

"What a magnificent bird of prey!"

After seeing this, Li Mu stood up and walked around the carved car to admire it, even more amazed.

He also raised several eagle birds under his command and brought them along for hunting. He had frequently shown them off to Li Tai before. However, compared with the two large eagles in this eagle cage, his eagle birds were immediately compared to native chickens. Whether it was the size of their wings or their strength and appearance, they all paled in comparison.

After hearing this, Liu Chang'an just smiled modestly and let out a few rhythmic cries. The two big eagles that were a little frightened slowly calmed down. The onlookers looked in their eyes and felt unclear.

He also asked for some raw meat, cut it into long thin strips, and first wrapped it around a wooden staff and handed it into the iron cage. The big eagle's beak, as sharp as gold and iron, pecked lightly, and then took the meat strips into his mouth. , but the end of the wooden staff felt as if it had been hit hard, with sawdust flying and being shortened at the same time!

"It's so powerful!"

After seeing this, Li Tai couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, his love for this gift was beyond words.

Liu Changan placed the meat strips in his palm again, turned around and nodded to Li Tai, and then directly put his palm into the cage.

When everyone present saw this scene, they all held their breath and concentrated, and secretly sweated for them. They had just seen with their own eyes how ferocious the raptor's beak was, and if they couldn't hold back the peck, they would be afraid of it. Even the palms of your hands will be pierced.

However, the big eagle quickly poked its head forward, and the meat strips in Liu Changan's hand disappeared. The expected scene of bloody flesh and blood did not appear. The big eagle shook its head and swallowed the meat strips, and then let out a short joyful cry. song.

Liu Changan opened his palm and showed it to the surroundings. Except for some traces of blood remaining on the flesh strips in the palm, the skin of the palm was not touched or scratched at all.

"good!"

A series of thunderous cheers erupted around the bonfire, deeply amazed by the ferocity of this big eagle and its cleverness at the same time.

In this way, Liu Changan used various methods to intermittently feed the two eagles with several kilograms of raw meat and blood. After they were full, the two eagles became energetic and kept pecking at the railings with their sharp beaks, as if to thank the breeder. Even though there were chaotic voices and cheers around them, they were not frightened and crazy.

"Can this eagle find food at night?"

Seeing this, Li Tai was already itching to point at the eagle in the iron cage and asked Liu Changan, which young man didn't have the dream of playing with a big bird in his heart!

"If the Grand Commander has leisure time, you can give it a try!"

Liu Changan clasped his fists to signal Li Tai to retreat a little, and he took out a bone whistle and held it in his mouth. The bone whistle blew out sharp whistles with different rhythms, and the two eagles also listened carefully for a long time in a very humane way.

Then Liu Changan personally stepped forward to open the cage, and the two eagles waved their wings and flew out of the cage. When the wings were fully stretched, their bodies suddenly looked more majestic. They circled over the camp for a while, then suddenly flapped their wings and flew straight into the sky, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Everyone looked up at the sky, but after more than half a quarter of an hour, there was only the vast night sky in their field of vision, and there was no trace of the eagle at all.

Whispers began to be heard around the campfire, and everyone rubbed their necks, which were a little sore, and talked in a low voice, suspecting that the two birds of prey might not fly back, after all, the sky and wilderness were their territory for soaring.

Liu Changan was not anxious, but just held the bone whistle in his mouth and blew it hard from time to time.

After a while, the sound of the wind came from the night sky again, and the sound of the wind came from far away. Soon, the figure of a eagle penetrated the dark night and swooped down to the campfire.

After the lesson of hunting tigers during the day, Zhang Shinu and others had already stood around Li Tai with knives and shields.

The eagle suddenly flapped its wings in mid-air, and the gust of wind blew, and the speed of its dive also dropped sharply. It landed quite steadily on the open space next to the campfire, and a fat gray rabbit was pierced through its claws.

"Good eagle!"

Li Tai applauded after seeing this. Liu Changan stepped forward to take the prey from the eagle's claws, and used a whistle to call the bird of prey back to the eagle's cage, and then stepped forward to present the prey to Li Tai, saying proudly: "The eagle has sharp eyes and hunts accurately. The Grand Commander is in a grand position and heroic. He must be able to see through everything, not wrong or lenient, and will definitely make a clear judgment on right and wrong and verify the innocence of our department!"

He said such words at such a happy moment. If I hadn't spent money to get myself and Liu Shifo together, I might not have been able to get this eagle. You are innocent! If I really saw through everything, I would have crippled you like this eagle caught the fox and rabbit!

Li Tai was complaining in his heart, but his smile was still bright. Before he could say anything, another eagle also came back, but it caught a slightly larger wild boar, and the audience around cheered again.

Li Mu was also envious. He was also an old hand at playing with eagles, but the few eagles he raised were not as handsome and humane as these two eagles. It was okay to pick up prey and kill injured pikas during the day, but it was far from being released to hunt alone at night.

"Does your department have such eagles? I wonder if I can enjoy this favor?"

He came forward and said to Liu Changan with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Liu Changan immediately bowed and clasped his fists and said, "How lucky are birds to be loved so much by the envoy! It's a pity that these two eagles have been carefully raised by the tribe for several years, and only these two are presented to the Grand Commander to show respect. Although this feeling is the same as my admiration for the envoy, it's just that the slaves are short of animals and have trouble showing them. I will definitely present them to the envoy first when I raise them next year!" Although Li Mu is much higher than Li Tai in terms of status and position. However, their Diaoyin Liu clan was not originally a registered household under the direct management of the court, so they did not respect the title and position granted by the court. Although Li Mu's family is a wealthy family in Gaoping, they are separated from Diaoyin by mountains and rivers, and the deterrence and threat to their clan is not deep and serious, so they are naturally reluctant to show it. After all, if these two eagles can be taken to Xiazhou and other places to sell, if they meet a wealthy customer who loves them and is generous, they can exchange them for thousands of cattle and horses at any price. Li Tai's station was only separated from Diaoyin by a river, and because of the Shifo Temple in Luochuan, it was well-known among the Hu tribes. In addition, the Liu clan was indeed a little guilty, so they offered a heavy gift in order to get along well.

"Master Liu, you are tired from the long journey, so you should stay in the camp tonight and go hunting with us tomorrow morning. After hunting, we will return to Luochuan together. I have some hometown affairs to discuss with you!"

Li Tai saw that Li Mu looked a little embarrassed, so he first led Liu Changan away, and returned to the campfire to appease Li Mu's embarrassed mood. They had to go hunting together, otherwise how could he show off his mighty eagle to him!
