The Dragon's Families of Mountains and Rivers

The wind is strong and the horns are bowing, and the general hunts Weicheng.The grass is dry and the eagle's eyes are sick, and the snow is as light as the horse's hoof.

Suddenly passed Xinfeng City, returned to Xiliuying.Looking back at the place where the eagle is shot, the clouds are flat for thousands of miles.

——Wang Wei's "Watching and Hunting" Dayin stands in front of the court, a hundred years of chaos, in the troubled times, all heroes rise together.There are many capable men and soldiers who swept away thousands of troops. Gaozu finally won the world by force. Needless to say, the bloody twists and turns, the founding generals were all highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. Headed by King Yun.

But how can a monarch who can fight with force and eventually rule the world be a weak person?

According to historical records, Gaozu was no less skilled in martial arts and horseback riding and archery than King Yun, who became king after hundreds of battles. He experienced more hardships than anyone else on the first day of the battle, and the days of blood on the knife edge. , as a commander and a monarch, he seldom shows his skills in person.

After Dayin established the dynasty, he still insisted on practicing bow horse riding and archery and boxing skills every day. The country was stable and the flames of war were eliminated. Apart from state affairs, the only thing he liked was hunting. Count Gaozu.It's just that the hunting back then didn't have all the forms and ostentations of today, and was more casual.

Xuan Zhan was not born in a time of war, and he didn't like these labor-intensive things. He was loved and favored since he was a child, and later he succeeded to the throne. It can't be equated. Over the years, no matter whether it is cold or hot, he has never stopped practicing bow horse riding and archery and martial arts for an hour a day.

On the paddock, white blades flashed, banners covered the sun, and the man at the head of the crowd wore black light armor, held a longbow, and had firm eyes.

The leopard expelled from the forest in the distance showed signs of anger. Seeing the crowd, it pawed the soil under its feet restlessly, and let out ferocious roars from its throat.

When the leopard came rushing forward, the surrounding horses scratched their hooves anxiously, and everyone immediately tightened the reins to stop the horses that wanted to retreat.

The emperor in black and light armor clamped his horse's belly slightly, urging the dark clouds under the moon to slowly take two steps forward. He turned up the longbow in his hand, pulled out the long arrow in the barrel with his backhand, raised his arms and opened the bow. The man's height is a heavy bow weighing two stones made by the imperial court. He opened his arms suddenly and drew it to the full string.

He has been on the throne for many years, due to the turmoil in the court and his cold temper, this is the first time he has hunted in Nanyuan.

On weekdays, he sat on the dragon chair in a dignified suit, and his gestures were full of the grace and dignity of an emperor. Even when he was furious, he never lost his imperial demeanor. No one would have thought of this noble-looking emperor. Your Majesty can draw a heavy bow with two stones so easily!

Before everyone could finish their astonishment, the whistling long arrow had already pierced into the head of the leopard that was rushing towards it, and the animal struggled and took two steps before falling to the ground.

Hunt with one arrow!

There was a smile in Yun Wai's eyes, and he knew that the last time he was hunting on a moonlit night, this man missed three arrows on purpose.

"Your Majesty is so handsome!"

Quan An followed Yun Wei, stood tall on the small high platform in front of the emperor's curtain, saw the emperor shot down the leopard with an arrow, couldn't help but yelled "Hello", only to realize that there was a helpless person beside him at this moment. The little master on stage, he covered his mouth and was about to prostrate on the ground to plead guilty, "Slave..."

Yun Wei stretched out his hand to support him, and stopped him without waiting for him to kneel down, shook his head and smiled, "Eunuch doesn't need to do this." After speaking, he turned his head and looked into the distance, "Your Majesty's skills are extraordinary, and Eunuch is right .”

"Your Highness..." Quan An wrung his hands a little restlessly, afraid that the little master said this to comfort him.

Yun mourned, "Don't worry about it, father-in-law. This is a hunting and sacrificial flag, and my identity is not suitable."

"In terms of status, besides Your Majesty, there is no one more suitable than you in this match." As the soon-to-be successor King Yun, who else is more suitable for such an occasion?

Yun Wei smiled and turned to look at Quan An with a half-smile, but said nothing.

Quan An blinked, belatedly remembering what the so-called 'identity' the little master was talking about, then made a bitter face, and was about to kneel down again.

Yun Wei waved his hands, and jokingly said, "Eunuch kneeling again, I won't be able to help you. The ground is wet and cold. Eunuch's old cold legs don't hurt anymore? Quan An is kneeling or not, His Highness , the slave knows his mistake..."

There were bursts of applause suddenly in the distance, and then there was another three shouts of long live from the crowd. The morale was high and it was very lively. The flag was sacrificed with leopard blood. His Majesty the Emperor gave an order, and all the people participating in the hunt rushed in with horses and bows. In the forest, hunting began.Seeing that the hunting was over, Yun Ghou waved the whip in his hand and called An Yi behind him, "Let's go, Your Majesty is still waiting for us."

In the distance, everyone entered the forest, only His Majesty the Emperor and his personal guards were waiting on the spot, looking at the emperor's high platform from a distance, waving at him unhurriedly.

Fuquan and Quanan wanted to come forward to help him mount the horse, but unfortunately, Yun Yao who was fighting on the battlefield was not a real delicate 'woman', and her ability to ride and shoot was not inferior to His Majesty the Emperor. Grasping the saddle on Qingyun's back with one hand, a light swallow turned over and jumped onto Qingyun's back.

Quan An and Fu Quan were almost dumbfounded when they saw Yun Ghou's skill.

"Master is so good!"

Yun Ghou tugged at the reins, turned Qing Yun's head, and teased the two of them, "Okay, no matter how powerful you are, you can't compare to Your Majesty."

"Both are amazing! Your Majesty and Master are both amazing!" Fuquan quickly shook his head to express his loyalty.

Seeing the heroic person waiting in the distance, all of Yun Yao's thoughts were taken away, he stopped talking to them, clamped his horse's belly, and urged Qing Yun to gallop towards that person along the imperial road and go.An hurriedly rode his horse to follow, guarding carefully, lest the blind arrows in the paddock hurt the noble little master.

It wasn't until the person was far away that Concubine De silently looked away. It turned out that the one hidden by the emperor in the Tai Chi Hall was actually such a 'woman', completely different from what she had expected.

Not as delicate as a woman, but as heroic as a man!

If he didn't know the identity of 'her', no one would regard 'her' as a woman for such a person, right?

No wonder all the women in the backyard don't please the emperor. For so many years, no one has been favored by the emperor. The emperor doesn't like those delicate flowers and weak willows, but he admires such a heroic woman...

"Niang Niang..." Zhilan looked at the back of the galloping away, her expression was both shocked and surprised, and she was a little hesitant to support Concubine De.

"That's right, it's not surprising that His Majesty would like such a woman."

Thinking that Zhilan wanted to persuade her, Concubine De shook her head, she didn't care too much, and she didn't feel much loss, if she wanted to say more, she would probably be surprised and relieved.

Surprised that the "woman" the emperor likes is completely unexpected, and relieved that such delicate and weak women are not the emperor's favorite. Although she does not admire the most noble man in the world, she can grow up in the palm of her hand. For a proud girl, it's fine if she doesn't get favored. She was forced into the palace by the emperor, but she is still a daughter.

Especially when the matter is a foregone conclusion, but hearing the so-called 'unworthy' from Concubine Xian, the unhappiness in her heart is greater than the rejoicing after all. Did this master who almost married into Prince Yun's mansion never know what the man she wanted to marry looked like?

"What's wrong? Zhilan, what do you want to say?"

Zhilan opened her mouth, and then thought about it, Prince Yun's son left Beijing when he was young, and he has never returned. I'm afraid that even His Majesty doesn't know what the young son who is far away in the northwest border looks like. How could the young lady in the boudoir know what that person looked like?

"No..." Zhilan pursed her lips, trying to hold back her doubts.

Maybe she was so far away just now, and suddenly she saw it wrong...

But she remembered the face of the ancestor Yun Wang very deeply.

The face of that 'woman' just now was almost as if it had been carved out of the same mold as that of King Yun. If she hadn't known the identity of this 'woman', she would have almost thought that the heroic person was the one far away in the northwest. Prince Yun's son on the frontier!

"Zhilan, are you hiding something from me?" Concubine De frowned slightly.

This is an unreasonable thing, and it involves the special status of that 'woman'. How dare Zhilan make extraneous branches at will, suppressing the thoughts that are running around in her heart, and said, "I just want to say that your Majesty treats this woman His favor, this matter of abolishing the future..."

"Speak carefully!" Concubine De scolded in a low voice, looked around, and saw that the guards guarding the emperor's curtain were far away, and it would not be possible to hear such rebellious words, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said sharply, "Zhilan , I think you know how to measure."

Zhilan lowered her eyes, "I know my mistake."

Concubine De looked at the people who had rushed to the field from a distance, the noble emperor condescendingly waited for the 'woman' to approach, and then carefully cut her hair and dress, Concubine De's eyes flickered , turned back to his tent.

After entering the account, she took a soft seat, and then slowly said to Zhilan, "I know you don't want to say it, but even if it's perfunctory, don't be so bold and casually talk about these things to Tangsai Bengong. Criticism Abandoned Empress, but she will lose her head." Zhilan raised her eyes in surprise, and met Concubine De's clear eyes, she slightly blessed her body, and said in a trembling voice, "I know I'm wrong" "I won't force you to ask You, if you want to say it, you will naturally say it, if you don’t want to say it, even if I force you, you can’t force it, so you can do it yourself." Zhilan supported Concubine De’s arms and trembled, "I just think that woman looks familiar... "

"look familiar?"
