Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Chapter 107 Distress

At the beginning of September, the autumn air was crisp, and the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing, which had been silent for a year, became lively.

Emperor Liang led his harem concubines and princes, ministers of civil and military affairs, and entourage guards to set up a camp on the east side of the paddock and set up the king's tent.

Lin Yanhong followed a group of courtiers and was also placed in tents around the king's tent.

Although Lin Yanhong has horse riding experience, he still feels a little tired after riding a horse all day.

Fortunately, the official field hunting will not start until the second day, so they still have one night to rest.

Unlike the huge and magnificent palace-like Wang Tent, since there are many people accompanying this autumn hunting, it is necessary to ensure that each adult has at least his own separate tent, so the tent that Lin Yanhong was allocated was only the size of a bedroom.

A screen could barely be erected in the middle to divide the tent into the inside and outside, so that if outsiders opened the curtain to come in, they would not be able to see through the inside at a glance.

Even so, Lin Yanhong still felt very happy. This was the first time he participated in such a grand event, and it was also the first time he lived in a tent, so he was extremely curious and looking forward to it.

Walking into his "residence" and seeing the different decorations and furnishings, Lin Yanhong felt that everything was very fresh, and even the difficulty of riding a horse before was temporarily weakened.

So as soon as he entered the tent, he began to wander around, as if there was a treasure hidden here, waiting for him to find it.

There are guards outside the tents of His Majesty, Concubine, and Prince, but there are no separate guards outside the tents of courtiers.

The imperial forest army will gather people and horses, patrol the camp back and forth in groups and sub-lines, and do a good job of guarding.

It happened that Lin Yanhong didn't want anyone to stand outside the tent either—although the felt cloth was solid and windproof and waterproof, it wasn't as soundproof as the walls.

If someone stood outside the door and was overheard by others, he had to be careful no matter what he did, that would be too uncomfortable.

Long before the trip, the location of the tent has actually been decided.

Originally, the government intended to allow Lin Yanhong to "live" closer to his uncle, but Master Qi thought that it would not be good for Brother Hong to show off too much, so as not to be jealous of the villain, so he made a petition to His Majesty.

Li Qixi just wanted to show his favor to his courtiers, seeing Qi Guang's strict observance of etiquette and discipline, he did not insist, but he still asked people to arrange the tents of the three young courtiers in the Imperial Academy close to the place where the royal family gathered, which was considered as a kind gesture. They took extra care.

Although it was daytime, the camp was heavily guarded, and without special arrangements, the accompanying officials could not walk around at will.

After Lin Yanhong took a rest, he went to the side not far away to say hello to Han Qi and Zhao Guangying who were traveling with him, and then asked someone to report to his uncle that he was safe.

That's it, Lin Yanhong was reminded by the inspecting guards. The other party knew his identity, so he specially instructed him, and his attitude was quite polite.

Standing in front of his tent, Lin Yanhong looked back at the camp, only to see tents stacked on top of each other in the field of vision, with no end in sight. Occasionally, there were servants and officers and soldiers walking, and everything seemed to be in order.

There is a strange, grassy aroma in the air, with a hint of smoke from charcoal burning. Although the view is not wide, this place gives people a sense of freedom.

Lin Yanhong felt as if he could see the green grass and endless forests in the valley through those tents.

——It’s good to be able to go out and walk like this...

He went to the tent not far away with only the top exposed, which was obviously bigger and more gorgeous than the tent here. Thinking that Li Jingcheng was not far away from him, he suddenly felt a little eager to see him.

He moved his feet a little, but finally retracted them. Lin Yanhong opened the curtain of the tent, lowered his head slightly, and walked in.

……

On the night of arriving at the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing, His Majesty □□sympathized with everyone, so he did not summon him again. Lin Yanhong simply washed up and prepared to go to bed, so as to welcome the arrival of the next day.

Unexpectedly, after he took off his coat, Lin Yanhong noticed a black shadow moving from behind the screen, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a little wolf cub.

Li Jingcheng was clearly not allowed to come to him after repeated orders, but this guy still ran over, Lin Yanhong was angry and helpless.

He didn't dare to speak loudly, lest the walls have ears, so he could only hug the little wolf cub, patted its buttocks, his eyes widened, as if he was asking, "Why did you come here?"

The little guy was unaware of his "mistake" at first, and even rubbed his little head against Lin Yanhong's skirt, and put his whole head on his chest, trying to get forgiveness through this cute little appearance.

It's a pity that this trick has been used by Lin Yanhong too many times, and it no longer works...well, it still has some effect.

Uncooked and cooked rice, I can't throw this little fur ball out now, Lin Yanhong patted it on the back angrily, leaned next to its little head, and said in a very low voice: "When will I pick you up?"

Nianbei was originally a hermit guard of Prince Yu's Mansion. Four years ago, he left Lin's Mansion in the name of returning to Pingwu to find relatives. In fact, he returned to his true colors and went to Beijing with Li Jingcheng.

Lin Yanhong also came to the capital three years later, and Li Jingcheng asked him to return to Lin Yanhong's side.

Since His Royal Highness Prince Yu spent most of his time staying with Young Master Lin, and Li Jingcheng had more than twenty-seven shadow guards by his side, it was actually not too much for Nian Bei to stay in the Prince's Mansion or the Qi Mansion. big impact.

This time, I accompanied the autumn hunt, since His Majesty had great internal experts by his side, the shadow guards around the princes and princes naturally did not dare to accompany, but the courtiers could bring a follower, so Nian Bei followed Lin Yanhong into the paddock .

At this time, Nianbei was the one who could "cooperate" with Li Jingcheng.

A little wolf cub has much smaller goals than a tall prince.

But it was obviously risky to escape the guards of the Royal Forest Army, even with the cover of others. Lin Yanhong didn't know how they did it.

Feeling a little scared after thinking about it, he suddenly changed his face, and regardless of the little guy's pitiful expression, he pulled the little wolf cub away from his body, and wanted to throw it aside, but finally put it on the bed safely by its waist, Then he turned his head and walked away, ignoring it.

Seeing this, the little guy wanted to scream but couldn't, so he quickly jumped off the low bunk near the ground, spread his fat legs and chased after Lin Yanhong's feet, jumped on him, stretched out his little claws, and caught the almost Stepped on by him.

Lin Yanhong was even more angry when he was caught by the fur ball when he moved his legs, but he felt a little distressed when he saw it chasing his legs.

If he couldn't howl, the little wolf cub whined softly, which made Lin Yanhong unable to keep his cold face.

In order to avoid accidentally stepping on it again, Lin Yanhong couldn't go far, so he could only drag his heavy legs, return to the bed and sit down.

The little wolf cub immediately took advantage of the trend and climbed onto his lap. The little claws grabbed the hem of his clothes with lightning speed, intending not to let go.

Lin Yanhong had nothing to do with Li Jingcheng, who was obedient and bowed his head, and even more helpless with the little wolf cub who was acting like a rascal. He could only pat the little guy's back to show that he was not angry anymore.

"Woo~" The little wolf cub whined twice, raised his head to look at Lin Yanhong, the grievance that had not subsided in his crystal clear green eyes.

"When will I grow up?" It was because of Li Jingcheng's appearance that Lin Yanhong always felt that the very tall boy hadn't really matured yet.

He has been in Tianjing for so many years, and he doesn't know how long he will stay here in the future. He needs to grow up earlier.

……

After late at night, under Lin Yanhong's insistence, the little wolf cub went back to his tent on the royal side.

After a night without dreams, Lin Yanhong woke up very early, and soon after, the autumn hunting officially started.

Liang Emperor Li Qixi first led all the officials to complete the sacrificial ceremony. The whole process was solemn and solemn, and there was no perfunctory reason for leaving Tianjing.

With Li Qixi pulling the bow and shooting the first arrow, which hit a goose, the most exciting part of the autumn hunting kicked off.

The royal family, military officers, and guards lined up in a neat line, and His Majesty immediately ordered the horn to be blown.

The people who heard the order galloped on horseback, the momentum was huge, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Looking from a distance, Lin Yanhong could only guess which one was Jing Cheng based on his figure.

In a blur, Lin Yanhong seemed to see him looking back, and then he raised his whip, rode fast, and quickly caught up with the brigade and became the forward.

After everyone who should behave well left, Li Qixi took the civil servants back to the center of the camp and waited for them to return in "victory".

The emperor went out to hunt in Beijing, and the battle was huge, but it was impossible to bring everyone with him.

In fact, among the several adult princes, only the second prince accompanied him, and the third prince and other older princes all stayed in the capital to exercise the power of supervising the country together with the elders of the court.

The second prince went out with His Majesty, seemingly regaining his favor, but in fact he had already lost the chance to fight for the heir, just like his younger brothers who had just grown up or were still children, they could only act innocently in front of their father. Dear, it is considered to have played a little role.

Lin Yanhong had carefully observed the Tianhuang nobleman who had lost his greatest "treasure" before, and found that he looked very peaceful, and he didn't seem to be depressed or complain to His Majesty because of this.

But comparing his heart with his heart, Lin Yanhong, who was once shrouded in the light of his concubine brother and lived in a corner of Dongyuan, didn't think this would be his true emotion.

Of course, the second prince is also a member of the hunting team, so staying with Imakami now is a few little princes who are dangerous even to ride a horse.

Seeing His Majesty's kindness to these little princes, Lin Yanhong really couldn't imagine that the person who drove the Twelve Princes to the Westman fief in a rage was also the one in front of him.

Because of the company of the emperor and his ministers, His Majesty is in a good mood, and the atmosphere in the camp is not colder than outside, but rather warm.

In this way, time passed quickly, and when the evening approached, the hunting team returned with a full load.

……

As Lin Yanhong expected, the second prince was indeed the most "powerful" among these hunters. After a little more than half a day, he hunted down an adult forest deer, several hares, and a grass fox.

The roe was huge, and when it was brought in to show His Majesty, it aroused everyone's amazement.

Behind him was Li Jingcheng, the youngest son of King Yu. Although he did not hunt deer, he managed to hunt nine hares and three foxes. From the perspective of the number of prey, no one could beat him.

It is not difficult for a few military officers with good strength to hunt deer, but they dare not compete with the prince, so they can only attack small prey. The number is not as large as Li Jingcheng's, but it is still very impressive.

All in all, the first day of autumn hunting was fruitful and everyone was satisfied.

His Majesty was obviously very happy. He praised the second prince, Prince Yu's son and several outstanding military officers in public, and led people to take the prey they hunted down immediately to treat the officials.

For a while, father and son, monarch and ministers get along with each other, and they are happy.

For three days in a row, Emperor Liang seemed to feel a little itchy when he saw them returning with full load, so he decided to go out for a walk in person. Before he left, he brought a few young courtiers with him. Among them were Lin Yanhong and the three of them.

"Although all my loves are civil servants, young people should go out more often... Traveling thousands of miles, reading thousands of books, and always working behind closed doors, you can't do great things."

His Majesty personally ordered that although these young civil servants who had never personally participated in hunting activities felt a little bitter in their hearts, they did not dare to have Yiyi in front of His Majesty, so they still put on a look of great expectation on the surface.

Compared with them, Lin Yanhong was really looking forward to it, so he left the camp with His Majesty wearing the hunting outfit that he thought he would not need.

When Li Jingcheng and the others got the news, they realized that His Majesty and his party had been away for a while.

Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing. Hunting is just icing on the cake. They are about to put down their activities and go to protect His Majesty and his party. Who knows that at this time, a vision will come from heaven.

The ground suddenly began to tremble, starting from a small amplitude to a large amplitude, which alarmed the beasts in the mountain and their mounts.

"The ground... the ground is shaking! It's the ground moving!"

All of a sudden, there were screams one after another, and many people's horses were almost unsteady, and they accidentally took the people on the horses with them, and fell to the ground together.

Li Jingcheng tightened his grip on the reins; firmly holding the somewhat frightened mount firmly, he couldn't help feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but the violently trembling ground seemed to have finally stopped. Some horses stood up, and some fell heavily but broke their legs and couldn't stand up after struggling for a long time.

Just when everyone was staggering, Li Jingcheng responded quickly: "Second Highness, I'm afraid I should send someone back quickly now, ask His Majesty about the situation there, and see if they have gone back!"

The princes and sons of them were chasing a prey around the second prince, and the world suddenly changed, and everyone panicked. Now that Li Jingcheng reminded them, they finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Hearing the words, the second prince reacted immediately, and shouted loudly at the guards around him: "Quick, go back."

Come on, he himself tightened the reins, and said to everyone: "We have to go back quickly to escort!"

However, when they returned to the camp, they heard news that made everyone anxious.

Because His Majesty became more and more interested, he and several young adults did not come back soon after going out, and when the earthquake happened, they were even chasing a roe into the depths of the forest!

It's okay if it's on flat ground, but if you enter the woodland with trees and rocks, it's full of variables and threats.

The uneasiness in everyone's hearts immediately intensified, and they wished to see His Majesty come back safely right now.

However, at this time, another earthquake happened!Although it was not as violent as last time, the movement was indeed not small.

This time, people were still frightened for a while, but the panic in their hearts was no longer caused by the earthquake.

——If His Majesty is in the way, the whole country will be shaken... How can the people accompanying them survive?

Li Jingcheng looked at the stunned second prince with a solemn expression, and said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, the most urgent task now is to gather the team immediately and go to the forest to find His Majesty!"

If the earthquake continues, it must be very dangerous to enter the depths of the forest...

But for Li Jingcheng, there are people there who make him desperate, so he has to go!
