[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

Jia Huan naturally knew Mo Lian's actions, and together with Tanchun's letter, after thinking about it carefully, he knew that Tanchun and Auntie's recent comfortable days were probably thanks to this person, which was really a great gift.For the fact that he is the last person to sit in that position, Jia Huan will never be an enemy to him, even from the beginning, he has a flattery in mind.Now this gift is so well received by Jia Huan, so this flattery also has a bit of sincere concern.

The exchange of human feelings is the friendship established one after another, and Jia Huan and Mo Lian are exactly like this.At first, it was Jia Huan who was grateful for Mo Lian's meeting gift, and invited Mo Lian to dinner a few times on the grounds of reciprocating the gift.Knowing the status of Mo Lian, the top restaurants are probably meaningless, and Jia Huan can't pay the bill himself, so the places he invites are not famous places, but some folk specialties hidden in the streets and alleys. The ingredients are affordable and the flavor is unique. It is nothing more than a fresh taste.If Jia Huan hadn't led these stores, Mo Lian would never have been able to find them.But these are indeed in line with Mo Lian's taste, it can be seen that Jia Huan put his heart into it.And when he learned that Yuan Chun also contributed to this great gift, Jia Huan did not forget to ask Mo Lian to bring Yuan Chun some exquisite gadgets sold on the street, so as to comfort him from not being able to go out, and at the same time to look forward to It is said that if Yuanchun can bring a letter to the family, he can help Tanchun and Aunt Zhao with his words.After Yuan Chun received the gift, he couldn't help feeling that this concubine brother was really considerate to others. He was afraid that he would become someone in the future, so he did as Jia Huan wished, and would inadvertently help Tanchun or Aunt Zhao in the occasional correspondence with Mrs. Wang afterwards.

Of course, Mo Lian did not eat and drink for free. Occasionally, when he got together, he would teach Jia Huan some experience in dealing with people, especially how to get along in the officialdom, and even on rare occasions, he would talk about the current situation and his own understanding. .In the past, Jia Huan would never have the patience to listen to these boring and thought-consuming things, but after experiencing the decline of the Jia family, Jia Huan, who can no longer escape from the political struggles above, can hear the words of an experienced superior It must be said that it is a kind of luck for him to teach.So Jia Huan is very grateful for this.

Unknowingly, with the deepening of communication, there is a tacit understanding between the two of them who are good teachers and helpful friends.

When the two said goodbye that day, they talked about the upcoming winter hunting. Jia Huan asked, "I heard that every year some soldiers are dispatched to participate in the winter hunting. I wonder if it will be our turn this year?"

Seeing Jia Huan's expectant look, Mo Lian couldn't help shaking his head, and explained: "Your cavalry battalion will participate every year, just to see if you can be selected. Winter hunting is hunting, I'm afraid it may not be what you think. Far away. This kind of field hunting is not as comfortable as inviting friends in private and hunting informally."

Jia Huan didn't care about the form, he was just curious about this kind of large-scale scene, so he was not swept away by Mo Lian's serious explanation, but said with interest: "If it's possible, maybe we can see you again." How about His Majesty's heroic posture?"

Mo Lian knew Jia Huan's petty thoughts, he just wanted to bring him to participate, and he didn't point it out, "The fourth prince is not good at riding and shooting, and Huan'er will be disappointed."

Jia Huan just didn't believe it, but he wouldn't make a mistake, so he changed the topic with a smile.

Coincidentally, it was really the turn of Jia Huan's brigade to go hunting this winter.So one week before the start of the winter hunting, Jia Huan came to the Jingxi hunting ground with the troops drawn from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.They not only have to be responsible for the guarding and martial arts tasks after the hunting starts, but also to ensure the cleaning and security around the hunting ground before the hunting. These are really not easy tasks.Fortunately, Dongshou has been doing it every year since the founding of the country, and it has never stopped. There are also examples for these tasks. Jia Huan only needs to follow the arrangements of his superiors, and he will not be in a hurry.

A week passed quickly, and winter hunting arrived as promised.Originally, unknown soldiers like Jia Huan, even if they followed, could only be responsible for guarding and patrolling the periphery of the hunting ground.However, because of Mo Lian's relationship, Jia Huan was transferred as he wished to be among the accompanying hunting companions of the fourth prince.

"Sure enough, His Highness was right..." At this time, Jia Huan was riding beside Mo Lian, with a look of disappointment on his face.I thought that even though it wasn't thrilling enough, the hunting should still be more difficult. As a result, Jia Huan only followed Mo Lian as the encirclement gradually narrowed to hunt the prey that had been forcibly driven into the encirclement.This hunting method is tantamount to catching prey casually, without any technique at all.

Mo Lian still had a calm face, showing no signs of impatience, and said, "The real purpose of field hunting is to train soldiers, not to hunt. How to cooperate with driving prey, how to narrow the encirclement, these can still serve as a drill." After all, it was another With one arrow, a rabbit fell to the ground and died.

Jia Huan took the initiative to pick up the rabbit and put it in the bag. He has become numb after doing these things for the past few days.Although at the beginning I faced the large-scale killings, even if the targets were animals, I still felt a little uncomfortable.But in just a few days, he was able to shoot and kill his prey without changing his face.Although killing can always arouse the bloody side in every man's heart, this kind of hunting like picking something out of a bag really makes Jia Huan feel unmotivated.

The moment Jia Huan bent down to pick up the rabbit, he was keenly aware of a hint of danger.Something is wrong!Something got in.

Jia Huan quickly turned around and stood in front of Mo Lian, tense all over.Mo Lian also seemed to feel something, and told the guards around him, "Go and check."

The guard climbed up the tree in response, and immediately issued a warning: "It's a pack of wolves!"

As soon as the sound came out, Jia Huan and the surrounding guards quickly surrounded Mo Lian.At this time, Jia Huan's mind was in a mess. He participated in the cleaning of the hunting grounds. Dangerous factors such as wolves had to be ruled out. The one or two wolves that appeared in the paddock were usually put in specially, and there was no way they would appear The whole wolf pack!

On the other hand, Mo Lian was still very calm, and commanded: "Huan'er, get on your horse and go back to report! The others will fight with the king, and retreat to the camp at the right time!"

Although Jia Huan was puzzled at first, he also figured it out now. It was obvious that someone was trying to harm Mo Lian. If he gave up such a good opportunity to gain the trust of the next emperor, he would be a fool.So Jia Huan replied without thinking at all: "I don't know the way."

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Mo Lian would have applauded Jia Huan, but it's hard for him to say such a shameful reason.It's just that because I also have a tempting mind, I changed the messenger.The guard who was named got on his horse and galloped away.Others are fully prepared for battle.

Because it was winter, there was no cover of grass, and when the wolves gradually surrounded and approached, they could already be seen completely.There are more than 20 wolves in total, which turned out to be a rare large-scale, and the situation is not good.Jia Huan's hands were already sweating.

Mo Lian's voice was quite steady, but he obviously noticed something was wrong, and his face was more serious than usual, "Shoot as much as possible, and don't get close by wolves. Don't climb the tree unless it is absolutely necessary." It means giving up the horses used for escape. If you can't kill the wolves, you can't even run.

So when the wolves entered the shooting range, Mo Lian gave an order, and the guards around him all started to shoot arrows.When one side made a move, the wolves would naturally not sit still, no longer confront each other, and rushed over from different directions.I don't know how long these wolves have been hungry, but they still didn't give up even though half of their companions were shot to death. They just stopped hunting blindly, and each of them hunched their backs, and the fur on their backs stood up. let out a low growl.The horses under the guards were a little restless. If it weren't for good training, these horses might have escaped for their lives.In fact, it took only a split second. With the long howl of the leading wolf, the pack of wolves attacked again. They tried to break up the encirclement of the guards and bit Mo Lian who was surrounded in the middle. the meaning of.

At this time, the wolves were already close, and the bows and arrows were useless. The guards drew their swords one after another, got off their horses, and fought with the wolves with their backs on the horses.Jia Huan didn't care about being nervous, he only noticed a wolf pounced towards him with its bloody mouth open, and could even feel its foul-smelling breath.Jia Huan restrained his urge to close his eyes, and without stopping, he stably stabbed the sword through the wolf's throat. Warm blood splashed all over his face, giving him a feeling of being scalded.But before he had time to feel anything, he had to go back and deal with the other horse.

After Jia Huan finished dealing with the second wolf, he found that the few guards were gradually scattered during the fight with the wolves. Mo Lian, who was fighting with wolves, had no guards around him, so he immediately approached Mo Lian.As if seeing Jia Huan's intentions, the strongest wolf pounced on Mo Lian's neck from behind without hesitation.At the same time, Jia Huan flew over without hesitation, blocked the fatal blow with his left arm, and stabbed the wolf's back with a sword still dripping with blood in his right hand.Obviously, this blow was not fatal, because of the pain, the angry wolf king bit Jia Huan's arm tightly. Jia Huan only felt that his left hand was cold for a while, and then hot, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.Mo Lian also came to his senses at this moment, and immediately cut off the wolf's head with a sword.

Once the alpha wolf died, only two or three wolves remained.They were faintly retreating, and were killed neatly by the other guards.Of the five guards, except for Jia Huan who was the most seriously injured, the others were only slightly injured, and Mo Lian was not even injured.Of course, if Jia Huan didn't help him fend off the wolf, it would be hard to say.

Those present were all Mo Lian's personal guards, and they had gone through some scenes. Without waiting for Mo Lian's order, some people took the initiative to bury the blood on the scene with snow to prevent other beasts from coming to the door. In addition, the guards who were good at first aid came to help Jia ring to treat the wound.When the spike was pulled out, several blood holes instantly appeared on Jia Huan's arm, and dark red blood gushed out.According to what the guards said, Mo Lian raised Jia Huan's forearm, asked the guards to tear off the hem of the robe, tied the top of the bloody hole with cloth strips, and then cleaned the wound with snow water.In order to prevent any germs from the wolf teeth, the guards tried to squeeze the wound while washing it to get out all the foreign matter inside.This will be safe, Jia Huan felt the severe pain, and the whole person was in a state of unconsciousness. Even when the guards squeezed the wound, Jia Huan thought he was screaming loudly, but in fact he was screaming loudly while others were listening. It's just a j□j when I'm semi-comatose.

Jia Huan himself has no memory of what happened next, but only remembers vaguely that a person hugged him all the time, and seemed to whisper something in his ear.
