Rebirth of Tao Yao

After a good night's sleep, the fatigue caused by the previous day's running was relieved, and the next day was the day when winter hunting officially started.

Martial arts prevailed in Liang State, but most of the children in Beijing did not have the opportunity to truly make their mark on the battlefield, so this year's winter hunting became a great opportunity for some generals to show off their skills.Especially some young men who are not too old are more willing to show their heroic appearance in the winter hunting. Maybe some young lady will fall in love with them?

That's right, there are many young girls in Dongshou's camp, and Wen Ziran is by no means an exception.Most of them are female relatives of the courtiers' families. Some of them are heroic and will go to the field to hunt a few prey, but most of them come to watch the excitement. After all, winter hunting is considered a grand event in the court every year.

Early in the morning, before the winter hunting started, the people in the tent came out one after another, forming many small circles in small groups.There are teenagers who draw bows and try arrows, there are courtiers who talk freely about state affairs, and there are even girls who gather together to whisper...

Several courtiers got together and murmured in a low voice: "I heard that the Yan family is also back this time?"

Someone nodded without hesitation, and said affirmatively: "I came back a few days ago, and it seems that I brought my son with me. His Majesty specially kept them to participate in the winter hunting. But the people of the Yan family are really as good as ever. Brain-brained, I heard that the greeting cards sent by each family were filled with baskets, and the father and son pretended to be dead without saying a word, and no one paid any attention to it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone had their own calculations, some felt that the Yan family's elm head offended others, and naturally some secretly praised the Yan family for sticking to their own hearts and inheriting the Tao.However, there were still some people who rolled their eyes and turned their attention to the little general of the Yan family.

In fact, those who are still discussing these things are not considered important figures. They either have insufficient status or are not well-informed.Those who are really successful and can make up their minds have already made preparations before they set off for winter hunting, and their family members and children have already been told by their fathers, and now they are only waiting for the right lord to appear.

A few girls with good status got together and whispered together. From time to time, some people turned their heads and looked around, as if they were looking for something.A girl wrapped in a white fox fur cloak finally couldn't help but frowned and said: "This is about to start, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

The other girl next to her smiled when she heard the words, and joked, "Why, are you so impatient?"

The girl in the fox fur cloak raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said angrily, "Sister Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you say that the young general was born handsome and refined, and he was very good-looking, so I wanted to take a look?"

This girl is only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and although she is not too far away from Jiji, she still looks cute when she speaks, which makes it difficult for those who make fun of her to have any other thoughts.It was a joke, but it was really just a joke, but the girls at home more or less heard their father mention the Yan family's young general, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young general, who was awarded the title by virtue of his military exploits, how could he not be popular? Curious?

These girls are not lacking in curiosity, and after hearing from their companions about the accidental glimpse on the road yesterday, they were all interested this morning, wanting to see Yan Li's true face.Of course, some of these people were hinted by their father and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Yan Li, but it was a pity that the Lord did not appear until the sun was bright, so a group of people chatted and laughed, but diverted the topic.

Of course Yan Li heard the commotion outside, but she knew that there were countless troubles waiting for their father and daughter outside, so she was naturally unwilling to go out early and suffer.So after sneaking out before dawn, she went into Yan Qing's tent, and now the father and daughter are having breakfast together.

Yan Qing had a good appetite today, he put down the bowls and chopsticks after eating two bowls of rice, wiped his mouth with a towel placed beside the table, and said: "Okay, it's getting late, your Majesty will be ready in a while It’s time to go on stage and shoot a deer, and it’s time for us to go out.”

Yan Li Wenyan also put down the bowl and chopsticks, and stood up all of a sudden: "I'll go to the next door to pick up Zi Ran."

General Yan took it for granted that he didn't even want to look at her, but Yan Li ran to the door, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Is daddy going to end today?" She said and glanced at her father's right shoulder, eyes With two points of worry.

In fact, it is inevitable that Yan Qing will end up participating in an event like Winter Hunting.First of all, he is a military commander, so he should do his part in such an occasion.Secondly, as a border guard general, he must always be convincing.In the end, Yan Qing is not too young now, and he can even be called a "veteran". Naturally, he needs to show his skills to prove that he is still capable.

But Yan Qing didn't seem to have this worry, he waved his hand at Yan Li indifferently, and said: "It's okay, go to find Zi Ran, I have already expressed my feelings to His Majesty, the injury has not healed, so I can't end this time."

Not only this time, Yan Qing's right hand is almost useless, he will never be able to draw a bow in his life.

Yan Li felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but he didn't show it, nodded and strode out of the camp.Then she stood at the door of the tent and sighed. She didn't know what her father was insisting on. After sighing, she turned around and went to the next tent.

****************************************************************************

On the first day of winter hunting, the emperor came to the stage to shoot deer, and then the emperor announced the official start of winter hunting, and it was time for everyone to show off their skills.

When Yan Li appeared outside the hunting ground with his horse, many eyes fell on her, either openly or secretly - there was no way, most of the courtiers who were qualified to participate in the winter hunting were not of low status, and the disciples from Beijing Everyone is familiar with her, even if Yan Li didn't reveal her identity, most people can guess her identity by looking at her fresh face.It's just that most of these people didn't expect that the majestic little general was born so gentle and handsome.

The gentle and handsome little general didn't care about other people's eyes at all. She took the bridle of her bay red horse in one hand and Wen Ziran's little hand in the other, and told her softly: "Father won't play, you will follow him in a while, don't worry about it." Get far away."

Wen Ziran nodded obediently, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with being so close to Yan Li. She also whispered: "The beast is fierce, and the arrow has no eyes. Brother, you have to be careful."

The two gathered together and whispered, the young man was gentle and handsome, the young girl was gentle and elegant, and also had a special aura that was difficult for others to insert, and others would inevitably feel a sense of rightness when they saw it.This made many people observing secretly frown, and at the same time, their probing and disgusting eyes fell on Wen Ziran, with varying shades of malice.

Yan Li's senses are quite keen, especially the malice towards others.She quickly looked up as if feeling something, but only saw a large group of people, and she couldn't find the malicious affiliation she had noticed before.But even so, she still raised caution, and after personally sending Wen Ziran to Yan Qing's side to ask her father to take care of her, she then ordered the accompanying soldiers to rest assured.

Because Yan Li and the others didn't come early, the emperor appeared soon, with several princes following behind him.

Shooting deer on the stage is actually quite boring. The emperor climbed onto the high platform paved with red carpet and spoke a few words to his ministers. After that, a guard from the hunting ground brought out a cage containing a deer.When the emperor raised the bow and arrows with his own hands, the guards released the deer from the cage, and finally the emperor shot the deer with his own hands, and the ceremony of winter hunting was completed.

Wen Ziran couldn't see this process, but she could hear the loud applause from the crowd, and she could also imagine the high-spirited scene at this time.But at the same time, she also heard Yan Li muttering softly beside her: "What's the point of shooting such a deer? I don't know if I've been locked up and starved for a few days, and I'm trembling when I run. Only the emperor can be thick." It's shameless to hear people praise and applaud."

Yan Li said this very quietly, only Wen Ziran heard it, and she couldn't laugh or cry after hearing it.

In fact, the people in the hunting ground are also very embarrassed. If the deer is not too hungry to run, it will be a lot of fun for the aging emperor to shoot all the arrows.Rather than appearing in such an embarrassing scene, it is better to fool around and lower the difficulty.

This was also a situation. The old emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief after he shot the deer. He retracted his longbow, raised his arms and announced the start of winter hunting.And as his words fell, the sound of galloping horses immediately sounded under the high platform, and in just a few tens of breaths, an unknown number of people drove their horses into the mountain hunting ground, and the open space under the high platform emptied a large area in an instant. .

Yan Qing patted Yan Li's shoulder and said, "A Li, you can go too, the Yan family can't be left alone."

This was expected a long time ago, Yan Li was not pretentious, immediately got on the horse with a bow and arrow, and then did not forget to turn around and say: "Then I'm going, Father will take good care of Zi Ran for me."

Yan Qing waved his hands impatiently: "Go, go, don't come back empty-handed, your wife might be missing a cloak."

Yan Li's ears were slightly red when he heard this, and he looked at Wen Ziran who was standing obediently by the side, and said with a rare hearty smile: "Don't worry, Dad, I'll bring you one too." After saying this, he rode his horse away Go, followed by only four or five guards.

The voices of the father and daughter's conversation were not too low, and when the two finally appeared in front of people, many people gathered around them without knowing when.Hearing this conversation at this time, many people who were playing tricks on beauty felt a little bit in their hearts, and they looked at Wen Ziran with subtle eyes.After a while, someone took the initiative to talk to Yan Qing, and at the same time looked at Wen Ziran calmly.

Li didn't know about these things yet, but it wasn't hard to guess that it was safe to leave Wen Ziran to her father to take care of her.It's just that what she didn't expect when she rode her horse into the forest just now was that there were still people in this forest who harbored ill intentions towards her.

The group of people had just stepped into the hunting ground, and the prey around them had already been startled away by the uproar before, and a personal guard asked aloud: "Little general, where are we going now?"

Yan Li swept his eyes and saw that the snow on the ground had been trampled into mud by horseshoes, so he pointed to a direction with a little trace of people and said, "Go this way, go to the depths of the forest, hunt some good things and go back to make a cloak."

Naturally, the guards also heard the conversation between the father and daughter before, and they all laughed in unison, and all rode away to follow Yan Li.As for the danger in this hunting ground, those who survived the battlefield don't pay attention to them.
