Dark Guard's Knife Blocker Advanced Manual

The snow in the forest fell without a trace, and occasionally a hare and elk walked through the dry grass, making slight movements.

The rule of winter hunting is that the one who hunts the first sika deer wins.

In order to preserve Long Yan, courtiers in the past would release the deer in a conspicuous place so that it would be convenient for Emperor Zhongcheng to shoot and hunt.

But this year, the person who took care of this matter was the fourth prince, and Yue Mo ignored it, so that everyone searched in the forest for a long time, but they didn't see any trace of the sika deer.

Most of the civil servants were weak and exhausted from riding horses for half a day, so they proposed to Emperor Zhongcheng to take a rest on the spot, but unexpectedly, Emperor Zhongcheng was sullen.

"If you want to give up, just give up! I will go hunting alone!"

After all, he hit the horse and rushed out alone.

No one dared to delay, they hurriedly followed.

In the evening, the group of people still didn't see the sika deer, but they shot a lot of hares. Zhong Fuyuan was so tired that he couldn't bear it, so he risked his life and said, "Your Majesty, we have already surrounded the forest, but we didn't even There are no footprints of a deer, you said, could it be that His Royal Highness is negligent in handling affairs, in fact, there is no sika deer in this forest at all?"

Emperor Zhongcheng frowned.

Seeing this, the sixth prince immediately said: "Father, the emperor clearly learned, the fourth brother is not such a careless person, and he would never dare to make mistakes in such a major matter."

Zhong Fuyuan snorted coldly: "Oh? The Sixth Highness said, where did this sika deer go?"

"It's cold in winter, but it's warm in the mountains, so according to my guess, the deer herd probably hid in the mountains to avoid the cold, so they can't be seen from the outside."

After the sixth prince finished speaking, he glanced at Duan Yunrui: "What does Second Brother think?"

Duan Yunrui narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he said calmly: "What the sixth brother said is not unreasonable."

Zhong Fuyuan was displeased: "The sky is getting darker, now there is no time to go hunting for deer in the mountains, if you run into wild animals, wouldn't Your Majesty be in danger?"

The sixth prince took the initiative and said: "My son is willing to relieve father's worries and go hunting."

Emperor Zhongcheng pondered for a moment, as if hesitating.The sixth prince knew that he had deep doubts, and he was probably also worried about whether there was a trap at the moment.

Then he added another sentence: "If the father is worried, you can let the second brother accompany the son to go, and you will be able to win the battle and find the sika deer for the father."

Duan Yunrui frowned, and gave him a probing look.

Emperor Zhongcheng said in a deep voice, "Second brother, are you willing?"

Duan Yunrui didn't have time to think about it, so he could only respond: "It's the son's duty to relieve father and emperor's worries."

So Emperor Zhongcheng ordered to set up camp on the spot and wait for the two to return.

Before leaving, he purposely found the Ninth Prince and asked, "Zhou Zhou, Brother Six is ​​going to hunt deer, do you want Zhou Zhou to come together?"

Duan Yunzhou played for a long time in the afternoon, and was a little tired at this time, curled up in Duan Twelve's arms and rubbed his face sleepily: "Brother Six, Zhou Zhou is sleepy, Zhou Zhou wants to sleep."

The sixth prince patted his head: "Zhou Zhou hasn't seen a sika deer yet, don't you want to go and see it?"

Duan Yunzhou blinked his big black and white eyes, and suddenly understood something: "Did Brother Six have something to do with Zhou Zhou?"

The sixth prince raised the corner of his lower lip. "Zhou Zhou is really smart."

But soon, he suppressed his smile again and frowned slightly.Being in the royal family, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune to be so precocious at such a young age.

"Sixth brother, don't be unhappy." Duan Yunzhou struggled, jumped out of Duan Twelve's arms, wrapped his short, fat hands around the sixth prince's legs to comfort him, "Zhouzhou promised you, Zhouzhou won't sleep Lah, Brother Six, don't frown, he will make you a little old man."

The sixth prince chuckled, rubbed the top of his head, and carried him onto the horse.

Duan Twelve cupped his hands: "Your Highness Sixth, my Highness will take care of you."

"En." The sixth prince replied, his brows calm and calm.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes met briefly, with no deep meaning.

After Duan Twelve watched his little highness leave, his figure flashed and he also jumped into the darkness.

Duan Yunrui waited for a long time before he saw Duan Yunpei holding Duan Yunzhou in his arms.

"Why is Zhou Zhou here? Hunting is not a joke. Be careful of getting hurt and go back quickly."

Duan Yunzhou held his head high and held his chest high: "No! Zhou Zhou wants to see the sika deer, and the second elder brother lets Zhou Zhou see!"

Duan Yunrui pursed his lips, and leaned over to squeeze his head, "Then Zhouzhou, remember to follow Sixth Brother closely and don't run around, or Second Brother will throw you in the woods and call the big bad wolf to come and eat you."

Duan Yunzhou's eyes widened in fright, and his little hands grasped the skirt of the sixth prince in a panic, "Sixth, sixth brother, is there really a big bad wolf?"

Duan Yunpei also echoed in a serious manner: "Yes, Zhouzhou hold on tight, don't fall, or you will be caught."

Duan Yunzhou cried and howled immediately, and got into his arms, with snot and tears, crying and shouting to go back.

The two unscrupulous brothers who rode on horseback couldn't stop laughing.

After laughing enough, Duan Yunrui said: "Sixth Brother has always been weak and doesn't like to participate in hunting. This time I am impressed."

Duan Yunpei knew that he was testing him, so he answered impeccably: "Sige is not here, Zhouzhou must be taken care of by someone, if I shrink back, no one can protect him."

"Sixth brother is serious, no matter how bad the second brother is, he will not attack his own brother."

"Really." Duan Yunpei looked at him in the blink of an eye, "The matter of the seventh brother really has nothing to do with the second brother? The fourth brother was poisoned, and he doesn't care about the second brother's matter? The second brother is still ignorant of the invasion of the Northern Yi prince? "

"Sixth brother, I have explained many times that Yunlang was imprisoned because of his concubine's concubine's involvement. Chuchu was also plotted by the Beiyi people. As for the rebellion of Tan Mochuan, I have already severed ties with the Qin family. I am a royal heir , how can you help outsiders deal with your own brothers."

Duan Yunpei's expression remained unchanged: "I hope what Second Brother said is true."

Both fell silent.

As night fell, the road ahead became hazy, and the guards behind them lit torches and went forward to explore the way.A group of people gradually walked to the mountain, but the surroundings became more and more strangely silent, and there was no sign of prey at all.

Just when everyone thought they were about to return in vain, suddenly, Duan Yunzhou pointed forward sharply: "Sixth brother! Deer!"

Everyone was shocked and immediately stepped forward, only to find that there were actually two beautiful sika deer lying on the edge of the shallow pool to drink water.

Duan Yunrui immediately bent his bow and set his arrow.His archery skills were not as good as Prince Jing's, but he was still excellent, shooting two deer at such a short distance was no problem.

However, before the feather arrow left the string, Duan Yunpei who was beside him took a step ahead of him and shot two arrows quickly.

Duan Yunpei has been weak and sick since he was a child, his martial arts has never been good, and his riding and shooting are average. Both arrows missed.

The two sika deer were disturbed by the movement, and immediately ran away in fright.

Duan Yunrui stared at this scene, all kinds of actions of Duan Yunpei today flashed in his mind, suddenly a flash of inspiration seemed to touch the edge of a deep conspiracy...

However, before he could remember, the next moment, Duan Yunpei's voice interrupted his thoughts:

"Second brother! Go and chase the deer on the left, I'll chase the one on the right, hurry up! Don't tell them to run away!"

Duan Yunrui didn't have time to delay, pulled the reins, and ordered the guards behind him: "Ten people follow me, and the other 20 people follow the sixth brother! Protect them thoroughly! Follow up immediately!"

The two parted ways.

Duan Yunpei hugged Duan Yunzhou tightly in his arms, and ran away without saying a word, gradually throwing away the imperial army behind him.

"Sixth, sixth brother." Duan Yunzhou was jolted and slurred, "Should we stop chasing deer?"

Duan Yunpei frowned, and didn't stop to pant until he was out of the forest, and looked at him apologetically: "Zhouzhou, we won't see sika deer today."

There was a scream from the forest behind him, accompanied by the pungent smell of burning fire.

Duan Yunzhou looked back curiously, and saw that not far away, the sky was full of flames, the forest was engulfed in flames, and the fierce flames engulfed the night sky.

Duan Yunzhou was horrified: "Sixth brother! It's on fire!"

"En." Duan Yunpei should be very calm.

"Hurry up, go back and save second brother! Second brother and father are there, they will die!" Duan Yunzhou grabbed his little hand and cried out anxiously.

Duan Yunpei's expression was indifferent, looking at the scene in front of him from afar.The firelight imprinted on his pupils, revealing a bit of indifference.

He rubbed Duan Yunzhou's head. "Silly Zhouzhou, this fire was set just for your second brother and father."

Duan Yunzhou blinked, not quite understanding: "What, what do you mean?"

......

Duan Yue was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, when suddenly there was a panic in the palace, someone was shouting: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

Duan Yue woke up with a start, rubbed his eyes, raised his head and looked out the window in a daze.

There were crowds of people everywhere, torches lit up the sky, Jin Yiwei, Imperial Guards and Dongchang were all shouting, as if something big was happening.

He was puzzled, and he lost his sleepiness, so he slapped Prince Jing, who was still soundly asleep beside him, to wake him up.

"Don't sleep, I heard people say it's on fire, do you want to go out and have a look?"

"Look at whatever, don't look at it." Without thinking about it, Prince Jing turned over and hugged him tightly, "It's okay, continue to sleep."

Duan Yue was dubious: "Are you sure you're okay? With such a big commotion, it could be that the old emperor's bedroom is on fire."

"He lives in the forest camp tonight, even if it catches fire, it has nothing to do with us."

Duan Yue was speechless: "That's your father."

"He's not." Prince Jing frowned, opened his eyes and looked at him seriously, "Since he refused to listen to my mother's excuses and abandoned my mother and son, I have never regarded him as a relative."

Duan Yue blinked.Of course he knew that when King Jing killed the old emperor in the previous life, he was not procrastinating at all, and was so fierce that even he was intimidated.

Seeing that he was distracted, Prince Jing turned his face away: "You mustn't favor him either. He treats you well for a purpose, so don't be fooled."

Duan Yue is funny.

Does he look so stupid.Besides, the old emperor abused his commander so badly, he already had murderous intentions in his heart.

"I see."

"Then you swear."

Duan Yue was speechless, "Are you not sleepy anymore?"

Prince Jing immediately closed his eyes, acting poorly: "I fell asleep."

Duan Yue laughed twice, rubbed his loose black long hair, and kissed the center of his brow. "Good night."

After a while, he frowned and looked out the window at the burning sky.

Duan Yue didn't fall asleep in the second half of the night, it was too noisy outside.Listening to the discussions of the guards, he sorted out the ins and outs.

It is said that thunder and fire fell from the sky, splitting the tent where the old emperor was resting, and the guards all around were sent away by the second prince to search for deer, so no one found it for a while, and finally caused a fire in the forest.

I heard that the old emperor is still in the sea of ​​fire and has not been rescued.
