The first day of hunting was over, and everyone returned to the tent one after another. When Su Heng and the others returned, the others had already arrived.

In previous years, the personnel responsible for counting the prey had already been prepared, and now that the emperor has returned, they will be assigned immediately.

In the past, more people were allocated to Ye Lingmo's group. According to the practice in previous years, Ye Lingmo's prey was also very large.

But this year seems to be a bit different...

It was assigned to four people in Ye Lingmo's group, but these four people were all dumbfounded, because there was only one pheasant in front of them, or a dried pheasant that had been exposed to wind and sun, God knows What the heck did this pheasant go through.

"His Royal Highness, has your prey not been brought back yet?" One of them asked cautiously.

Ye Lingmo glanced at Su Yinan before saying, "That's all."

One sentence startled the person who asked the question just now, but Su Yinan's worry-free mouth started to speak again.

"My lords, there is a way to count. If you count backwards and forwards, the result will be different."

The four of them were ashamed, no matter whether they were counting up or down, there seemed to be only one...dried pheasant.

"Also, counting from the inside is different from counting from the outside."

The four of them were ashamed again, this is still one.But no one dared to speak, because after all, this is the son of Duke Wu, the younger brother of General Cheqi.

"Why? If you don't believe me, let me tell you that counting him now is different from counting him in the future. If it doesn't work, let me demonstrate to you."

After finishing speaking, Su Yinan pulled out the knife from his waist, turned the pheasant around, and then cut open the pheasant's belly with a knife, and took out a round egg from inside.

"Look, my lords, now I have an egg in my hand. Don't underestimate this egg. When it hatches a chick, the chick will lay an egg, the egg will hatch a chick, and the chick will lay an egg. This cycle repeats. , In less than a year, I will have a hundred or eighty chicks. My lords, tell me, isn’t that a lot.”

The four of them didn't know what to do, they could only turn their eyes to Ye Lingmo who was laughing because of Su Yinan's crooked haircut.

"His Royal Highness, look..."

Ye Lingmo stared at them for a while, making the four of them numb.

"His Royal Highness, when I understand, I will go back and report the number."

However, Ye Lingmo said before they left: "Go back and write down, Cheng Wang Ye Lingmo, the number of prey, two, one pheasant and one egg."

"Yes." The four hurried away.

After the four of them left, Ye Lingmo said, "I can't see it, you're quite nimble with your saber."

Su Yinan said with a smile: "It's all taught by my brother. My brother said that catching a pheasant during a war is a good dish. If you're lucky, you can get an extra egg."

Now Ye Lingmo could finally understand why Su Heng wanted to snatch a pheasant from him, and why he took his chicken leg away last time when he went on an expedition.So Su Heng likes to eat...chicken...

After the counting was completed, the official in charge took a piece of paper that had been sorted out, and went to Ye Xuanli to announce it to him.

"No.1, the emperor's group, 69, the largest of which is a tiger. No.2, the consort's group, 42, the largest of which is a bison. No.3 Yanli's group, 41, The largest of them is a wild donkey. Congratulations to the emperor, you have won the first prize."

The official only announced the top three. In the past, the top three would always have the emperor, Su Heng and Ye Lingmo, Ye Lingchen, Su Heng and Ye Lingmo used to be in a group, but today, they didn't hear Yeling. Ink's name.

Su Heng was curious about how many prey Ye Lingmo could kill with his younger brother, Ye Lingmo, so he went over and took a look at the list.It doesn't matter, he almost lost his temper when he laughed.

I saw that it was clearly written on the list that Cheng Wang was in a group, two, one pheasant and one egg.

"Hahahahahahaha, His Royal Highness, you are making me laugh, hahahahahahaha."

"What's the matter laughing like this, Zheng is also happy to say it." Ye Lingmo came over and said.

"Your Majesty, guess how much His Royal Highness Cheng Wang beat?" Su Heng looked at Ye Lingmo with a smirk.

"Zheng won't guess, you tell Zheng."

Su Heng showed the list to Ye Xuanli. Like Su Heng just now, Ye Xuanli looked down from the top to the bottom, and then saw the word "Cheng Wang" at the last place, and at the back, it read A pheasant and an egg.

"His Royal Highness, you didn't dig this egg out of the pheasant's belly, did you?" Su Heng laughed.

Before Ye Lingmo could open his mouth, Su Yinan ran over and raised his little hand and said, "I dug it out, and I told them that when the eggs hatched into chicks, the chicks would then lay eggs, and then hatch chicks. It didn't take a long time." We must have had a lot of chickens in [-], but they won't listen to me."

Hearing Su Yinan's nonsense, Su Heng and Ye Lingmo helplessly protect their foreheads, one thinks about his stupid brother, the other thinks about this stupid child.However, Ye Xuanli on the other side laughed and said yes.

"Eggs hatched into chicks, and the chicks laid eggs, and then hatched into chicks. The country is also like this, gradually accumulating bit by bit. Yi Nan said it very well."

Su Yinan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"I will try next year, Zheng looks forward to your performance." Ye Xuanli said.

"Yi Nan will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

After counting, it's time to reward meritorious deeds.

"Su Heng and Murong Jin won the first place together with Zheng, and they have made great contributions. Su Heng, gave a thousand taels of silver, ten pieces of Su embroidery, and a general's mansion. Murong Jin, the son of Wen Guogong's mansion, was transferred to a civil position and promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng , will take office immediately." Ye Xuanli announced.

Su Heng and Su Jin hurriedly thanked each other: "I thank the Lord Long En."

"Xin Cheng, the son-in-law of the Eldest Princess, has been promoted to General Zhengdong, and will take office immediately."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

When it was No.3, Ye Xuanli saw an unfamiliar name on the list——Yan Li.

Seeing Ye Xuanli pause slightly, Yan Li took the initiative to step forward and said: "My subject, Yan Li, an ordinary soldier under the command of General Chaqi, kowtows to the emperor."

Yan Li, Su Heng tried his best to recall, but he didn't remember which number this person was, so he immediately asked Su Jin next to him.

"Jin'er, is there such a number one person in our army?"

Su Jin thought for a while and then said: "Jin'er can't remember clearly, the clerk only gave me a brief look at the people who signed up in the army, and I don't have much impression."

"Impossible, if there is such a No. [-] person, I should have known it a long time ago."

Su Heng was still puzzled, but Ye Xuanli announced his will.
