Xiao Gui Rui Sui

In the 41st year of Qingyuan, on the third day of May, Emperor Qing led a group of ministers to hunt in the eastern suburbs hunting grounds.At this time, spring and summer are in full swing, everything grows vigorously and animals are active.At this time, the game meat is tender, plump and juicy, and it is a good time for hunting.

The Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground is an exclusive hunting ground for the royal family. It consists of several adjacent mountains, and the grassland and woods within a few miles below the mountain are all designated as forbidden areas.It would be an accidental injury, and the woodcutter and the hunter are not allowed to enter.The people have to leave the hunting grounds and potatoes before they can settle down.

The hunting grounds have a wide variety of animals and plants and are rich in resources.After the nourishment of the previous few rains, the Dongjiao Ranch looked more vibrant, which attracted the hearts of a group of people to shoot and kill their prey.

A large group of people from Haohaotangtang set up camp on a relatively flat hillside among the continuous mountains and forests.After a day of rest, the hunting activity began.

Emperor Qing was dressed in bright yellow riding clothes, and was riding on a tall horse. He looked at the lush forests below the mountain, and at the mountains in the distance, with sharp eyes, satisfaction and arrogance.Behind him are three princes headed by Situ Tan, a group of ministers and noble children.

Lin Xiao, the champion of the new division, also followed. Although his thin body sitting on a horse was ridiculed by many dudes in the same industry, he didn't care.The body is a little weaker, but in fact it is not that useless.Lin Xiao is much better than those scholars who are useless and have to be helped by a horse.At least he was riding steadily, which seemed a bit leisurely.Since he was here for hunting, he changed into a riding outfit that was more convenient for movement.

The originally quiet mountain forest has gained a lot of popularity due to the arrival of a group of people.Everyone, especially the young people, looked around excitedly and whispered to each other from time to time.

Lin Xiao leisurely rode the horse, and while following the large army unhurriedly, he admired the mountain forest full of vitality after the desolation of winter had faded away.In fact, this person has been glancing at someone in front of him out of the corner of his eye...

A loud horn sounded ahead, and Emperor Qing shot the first arrow to announce the start of the hunt.

According to tradition, at the end of the hunt, the top three will be selected according to the harvested prey, and they will be rewarded with royal gifts.

Whether it was for a reward, to show their talent in front of Emperor Qing to gain appreciation, or for other reasons, all the accompanying men raised their whips and rushed into the forest with enthusiasm.

Soon there was the sound of animals screaming, and it was unknown who came out on top.This has attracted everyone to fight even more, and they will compete to see who can hunt more animals.

The bloodthirsty factor in his bones was clamoring, Lin Xiao pulled the reins, a little eager to try, but seeing Situ Li who was indifferent in front of him, he was a little depressed.

What is this man going to do?It's rare to come out to hunt and put on a bad face!Didn't you tell him before that you should enjoy yourself in time?Lin Xiao frowned disapprovingly.Can think of him only because he couldn't help sighing, and said apologetically in his heart: Li'er, please give me some time!I'll meet you when I'm ready, and then you can do whatever you want...

Without much hesitation, Lin Xiao rode his horse and joined the hunt, enjoying himself in time.This was real hunting in ancient times, not the small paddocks of today.And he doesn't need to stare at Situ Li intently, it doesn't mean much to him now to look more or less, and he doesn't have that kind of stickiness either.

During the hunt, a person suddenly blew a long wooden whistle, and Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows with interest.After a while, various deer calls were heard.It turned out that the whistle was imitating the sound of a deer.

There was a commotion in the bushes ahead, and a herd of deer attracted by the whistle appeared in everyone's vision.

Several people lured the herd of deer, chased and intercepted them until the large herd of deer completely entered the large ambush circle, and then fired all arrows to kill the herd of deer.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, Lin Xiao frowned, not out of pity for the lives of these animals, but such bloody hunting was too unsightly.

With a pull of the rein, the horse turned to the other side, and Lin Xiao went straight to the forest.Although this pair of shells is weaker, it is still possible to hunt.His archery skills are pretty good.With such a large group of people, everyone has something to gain. He was already carrying such a shell. If he was still empty-handed, it would be strange not to be laughed to death by those young masters when they got together!He didn't want to lose that face, nor did he really want to be a powerless scholar.

There was a slight shaking in the bushes, and a lonely fawn stuck out its head.Lin Xiao looked at the little thing delivered to the door, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he immediately drew his bow and arrow.Because the ancient bows and arrows are still somewhat different from the modern ones, and Lin Xiao hasn't touched the arrows for a long time, he is a little rusty, and he didn't control the strength well, which caused the first arrow he shot to miss.

The little deer was startled and ran away.Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, followed closely behind with a clip of horse belly.Riding alone gradually moved away from the crowd.

The small deer flitted left and right in the forest nimbly, and disappeared in an instant.Lin Xiao didn't know what to do, he didn't know any kung fu, and he couldn't listen to the voice and argue.

Suddenly seeing a deer head in the grass half a person's height, Lin Xiao quickly shot an arrow, and the deer screamed and ran away with the arrow.Lin Xiao looked at the direction where the deer was running away, got off the horse, and followed the deer's blood to a verdant forest.

Confirming that the deer can't run very far, Lin Xiao tied the horse to a tree and walked towards the woods.

When he was looking for the deer shot in the woods, he met two people by accident.Seeing the two of them for the first time, Lin Xiao's eyelids twitched and he immediately hid.

Situ Tan actually had a secret conversation with Eunuch Qi, the chief executive here, so he knew the tricks here without even thinking about it.

"... Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and villains are led by King Xinling."

"Hehehe, Eunuch is indeed a sensible person, and he did not disappoint me..."

The distance was a bit far, and Lin Xiao couldn't hear what the two were talking about, but they could clearly see their expressions.Eunuch Qi had a resentful expression at first, but later he didn't know what Situ Tan said, his expression became frightened, then sad and indignant, then hesitated to compromise, and finally turned into a smile and flattery.Situ Tan, who had always been so confident, finally burst out laughing with a bit of complacency.

Lin Xiao frowned, stopped looking, and quickly turned around and left lightly.He broke the meeting between the two unintentionally. If they found out, he would definitely be silenced.

His idea was correct, the two of them didn't notice when he left, but...

The fawn that was hit by the arrow ran away in a panic, and finally passed out due to excessive bleeding. It was a coincidence that Situ Tan, who had returned the same way, met him.

Looking at the deer lying in front of him, Situ Tan's face was very ugly, and he was surprised and suspicious.This deer so will be here?Did the damn thing come from somewhere?Or was someone hunting nearby just now?So will they be seen?

Situ Tan kicked the little deer hard, with a gloomy face.No matter what it is, no one can see him and Eunuch Qi together, let alone their conversation just now!

Situ Tan's eyes were full of cruelty, and his eyes fell on the arrow that shot the dead deer. He stepped forward and pulled it out. Looking at the mark on the tail feathers, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cruel arc.

The new champion Lin Xiao!

Hehe, I originally wanted to win this person over, but this person was too tactful and ignorant of current affairs, he had played tricks on him once before, and he hadn't swallowed that tone, but now this person bumped into him by himself.If this person is smarter and obediently relies on him, he is worthy of being a good helper, so he won't care so much, but right now... if this person is hunting in the distance, it's okay, he can at most punish him, Export bad breath.But if this person is nearby, and he wants to die to see them, then this person must not stay!

Situ Tan broke the arrow in his hand and laughed cruelly.

Lin Xiao quickly left the woods, thinking that no one knew about it, but he didn't want to be careless.When the ancients hunted, in order to distinguish who hunted the prey, they usually made a mark on the arrow.Lin Xiao walked in a hurry, he couldn't care less about the injured and escaped deer, let alone the arrow on the deer's body?

It was also fortunate that Lin Xiao left in time so that no one would catch him on the spot, otherwise the hunt would be endless.Although Situ Tan's martial arts were not good, they were not comparable to Lin Xiao's.Situ Tan is still not sure if he saw them, but his murderous intentions have already been revealed, and it will be a matter of time before Situ Tan wants to get rid of him.
