Female General And Eldest Princess

The king of Chu finally withdrew his bow, reined in his horse and left.

Not even the dead stag.

King Qi watched Chu King go away, and was about to hit his horse and leave, but was stopped by King Yong.

"Brother Wang...please stay."

Hearing the sound, King Qi reined in the reins, turned his head and looked at King Yong calmly.

"Thank you... Brother Qi."

"It's okay, but your arrow just now was too reckless."

King Qi's tone was so flat that people couldn't feel the thoughts in his heart.

"Yes……"

King Yong didn't dare to speak out for himself. Although he was born as a concubine, King Qi was the eldest son, and his status was not the same as him.

"However, what brother Xuan said is indeed too much. May I ask who in this world can hear his mother being humiliated and remain indifferent? Brother Xuan, you think so?"

"Um……"

"Although you shot him with an arrow, it didn't work, and who knows where you want to shoot this arrow? Don't you think so, brother?"

"Brother Qi means..."

"I didn't mean anything. I still said that. I shot to stop your arrow. I also heard Brother Xuan's words. If you want to sue the emperor, I will testify for you."

After listening to King Qi's words, King Yong's heart suddenly became clear: Yes, although I tried to shoot King Chu with an arrow, but I didn't succeed. I said I wanted to shoot King Chu's leg. Anyway, there is no evidence, so I said Whatever is what, if King Qi is willing to testify for himself, the crime of King Chu insulting his concubine can be big or small.

When King Yong and Li Ting came back to his senses, King Qi had already galloped away.

In the end, King Yong couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and shouted towards King Qi's back: "Why did Brother Qi help me?!"

Hearing King Yong's voice, King Qi curled his lips and did not stop or turn his head.

At the end of the first day of hunting, although no one had caught tigers and bears, almost everyone who participated in the hunt had caught roe deer, deer, foxes, pheasants, and hares.

Even the youngest prince, Li Zhu, managed to kill two hares, which was already a good result for a nine-year-old boy who participated in hunting for the first time.

Li Zhaolong Yan Dayue, ordered the imperial chef to pick a fat hare that Li Zhu had hunted and roast it, and sent it to him and Concubine De's case.

The adult feudal king's grades were obviously better, although there were some episodes in the middle, but by the end of the day:

The king of Qi killed a wild boar, the king of Yong a deer, and the king of Chu a deer.

Prince Li Huan hit two pheasants and a rabbit, and Li Pei hit a rabbit.

The first day of autumn hunting ended in the twilight, followed by a bonfire dinner. The hunted prey was processed by the accompanying imperial chef and then roasted on the rack until it was golden, crisp and fragrant.

The annual autumn hunting in Liguo is actually one of the good entertainment methods for nobles, because the conditions in the wild are not like indoors, and the natural rules are not as many as palace banquets. The bonfire in the camp is burning brightly, the air is filled with the aroma of barbecue, and there are bright moon and stars in the sky. Li Zhao will also put down his airs and have fun with a group of young people. Everyone chats, sings and dances to be happy.

The autumn hunting in the 29th year of Yuanding lasted for seven days, because the rainstorm fell sharply on the night of the seventh day, ending the cool weather that lasted for several days.

The land became muddy and the weather began to turn cold. The autumn hunting originally scheduled for ten days had to end early.

Rao is so, everyone has enjoyed themselves.

However, one thing I have to mention is: After all, the king of Chu caught a live deer that was not damaged and dedicated it to Li Zhao. Li Zhao ordered people to bleed it to make deer blood wine and distribute it to everyone.

And King Yong Li Teng shot a fiery red fox without a single hair, and King Yong also dedicated it to Li Zhao. Li Zhao was delighted, praised Yong Wang Li Teng a few words, and then gave the fur to his companions Concubine De, ordered someone to make a Firefox scarf for Concubine De.

What surprised everyone the most was the 17-year-old prince Li Huan, who actually killed a bear on the sixth day of the autumn hunt.

When Li Huan led the people to carry the bear back, it caused quite a commotion.

That day, Li Huan knelt in front of Li Zhao and Concubine De, and said loudly: "Father, Imperial Concubine, I was lucky enough to hit a bear, and I thought that it will be winter soon, so I want to give this bear skin to my father." Emperor."

Hearing what Li Huan said, there was a lot of commotion in the crowd. Generally speaking, when giving away skins, the whole skin was emphasized, especially since Li Zhao was the emperor, it would be disrespectful if there were holes in the fur!

Li Huan, who is a prince, will never fail to understand this truth, so that means...

The crowd immediately surrounded the bear, and found that an arrow had almost completely disappeared into the bear's right eye. Besides, there was no arrow on the bear!

It was an arrow that hit the bear's eye! ?It really is a whole bearskin!

Immediately, everyone cast admiring glances at Li Huan. Bear hunting requires courage, and one arrow can kill the eye.

Li Zhao walked down from the high platform with Concubine De, walked around the bear, and laughed loudly: "Okay, my son Huan is really a blockbuster!"

Li Zhao immediately announced that Li Huan was the winner of this year's autumn hunting, and rewarded Li Huan with a three-stone Yin-Yang bow newly made by a craftsman. The so-called Yin-Yang bow has a lot of background.

The body of the bow is made of the most yang tree in the heart of a thousand-year-old peach tree that has been struck by lightning, and the bow string is made of the sinews of a strange-shaped yin creature obtained in the East China Sea, hence the name: Yin-Yang.

Although Li Huan is not yet able to open the three-stone bow, it also represents Li Zhao's high hopes for Li Huan...

This matter was also heavily recorded by the accompanying spokesperson:

Yuanding 29th July [-]th, autumn hunting.

The prince ring offered a black bear. Because the arrow hit the eye, the bear skin was intact. He was very happy and gave a three-stone Yin-Yang bow as a reward.

……

On the day when the team pulled out of camp, it was raining continuously in autumn and the clouds were thick.

The endless low black clouds make people breathless...

On this day, Yong Wang Li Zhen walked into the dragon tent, and Li Zhao summoned Qi Wang Li Zhen a while later.

After a while, Chu Wang Li Xuan was also summoned...

A few years later, the "History of Barnyard Officials", which was passed down to the people, vividly recorded the story of that day. It is said that the provider of the story was a soldier who claimed to be standing guard outside the Dragon Tent that day, but due to the age, it is impossible to test...

It is said in the book: Not long after Li Xuan, the king of Chu, entered the account that day, first Li Xuan's loud defense and the angry scolding of King Qi and King Yong were heard, and then the sound of cups being smashed was heard.

The King of Chu said nothing, and went up, furious, scolding words such as "unfilial, unkind, unrighteous, wolfish ambition", and then there was heavy applause, and I don't know which prince was hit by this slap...

Some said they beat the eunuch in charge who didn't have good eyesight, some said they beat a certain prince, and some said that the emperor beat himself out of grief.

……

Later, this "Barnyard Official History" was listed as a banned book because it recorded a lot of secrets of the royal family, and the editor of "Barnyard Official History": Jun Moxiao, was once offered a reward of [-] taels for arrest by the court, but I have never heard of him. The news of the arrest...

The book returns to the main story, the 29th year of the Yuanding Dynasty · July [-]th, the Chonggang hunting ground was rainy and the roads were muddy, Li Zhao still ordered to return to Beijing.

So the seven-day autumn hunt came to an end.

Capital · Weiming Palace

The convoy back to Beijing took advantage of the autumn rain all the way. It took three days to go and five days to return.

Along the way, Li Xian always felt a little restless.

On the day they returned to Beijing, King Chu and King Yong were cut off by two thousand households. Li Zhao also formally reprimanded them, ordering them to return to the feudal mansion to contemplate for half a year...

When Li Xian returned to Weiming Palace, she even had to take a bath and change clothes, so she first recruited Xiaoci.

The two came to Li Xian's study, and Xiao Ci tacitly took out a stack of silk cloth from the secret compartment of the study.

"Your Highness, these are the silk newspapers sent in from various places during your absence. The servants are taking care of them for you. These things come every day. Why should Your Highness be so anxious? You should take a bath and change clothes before reading."

"Let's read it first, then bring it to me."

"Yes." Xiaoci offered the silk cloth with both hands, and silently withdrew from the study.

Sitting in front of the case, Li Xian carefully read the backlog of silk cloth one by one. With the reduction of the backlog of silk cloth, Li Xian slowly let go of her hanging heart.

Thinking about it, those "key observation objects" all left Beijing to hunt with her, so what could happen?I'm still too tight...

Li Xian took another new silk newspaper with a smile on her face, and unfolded...

The smile froze and slowly disappeared, and the brows were furrowed...

Li Xian looked at the silk cloth over and over again, the silk cloth was wrinkled...

I saw the letter saying: Yuan Ding 29 years, July [-]th night.

Hundreds of Xiongnu raided the northern military camp at night...

The motive of the Xiongnu's move is still under investigation. Hundreds of Huns fought desperately in the northern military camp, but none of them escaped until they all died in battle.

More than [-] soldiers in the northern border were killed or injured...

Under General Li Mu's tent, Lin Yu, the vanguard general, guarded the big tent and fought bloody battles, but unfortunately died in battle.

Pioneer Lang stabbed Lin Feixing in the back, and Xing held Lin Yuzhi's body for several hours, muttering to himself, refusing to seek medical treatment.

……

After a long time, Li Xian slowly put down the silk cloth in her hand and picked up the second silk cloth from the northern border.

The 29th year of Yuanding, July [-]th.

Marshal Li Mu attended Lin Yuzhi's funeral in person, staring, mourning, and unable to hold back his grief.

With a cracked back, he persisted until the funeral.

Marshal Li Mu was sympathetic, and bestowed Xing at home to rest and recuperate.

Xing, holding Lin Yu's memorial tablet to Lin Yu's house, fainted after seeing Yu Wan.

……

This is the last silk newspaper about the northern border.

Li Xian sat in front of the desk in her study with a blank expression, and suddenly remembered a question she once asked Lin Feixing: "When was the last time you cried?"

Lin Feixing said: "It was the first time I killed the Huns..."

For some reason, I still remembered this sentence. Li Xian felt a little puzzled when he heard it at first, but every time he recalled it later, he would feel desolate in his heart.

Li Xian put the two crumpled and uneven silk cloths side by side on the table, and stared at them for a long time with her head down.

Just like that, with his head down, watching silently.

Watch and watch, watch and watch.

Then she felt that her heart beating in her chest was tugged at first, and then it was sore and painful.
