"Ruiqi, Ruilin!" Zhang Sunhong waved to Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin from a distance, with a smile on his face. He really asked Zhang Sunhe to find him a pony with brown hair. Although it was not as good as the two white horses, it was very strong. It's just that Chang Sun He didn't worry about letting him sit on the horse alone, and tied a rope around his waist. The other end of the rope was in the hands of Chang Sun He, so he looked very funny.
Emperor Xiaohui laughed, and everyone else couldn't help laughing.
Changsun Hong's face blushed, and Chen Mufeng hugged him off his horse, and obediently greeted Emperor Xiaohui.
"Hong'er is flat, this pony is also very good." Emperor Xiaohui patted the pony on the back and praised.
Chang Sun Hong's face turned redder, but Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin didn't laugh, which made him feel more fond of these two good friends.
When the time was set for the gathering, everyone formally bowed to Emperor Xiaohui.
Daxiaguo won the battle, and coupled with the new year soon, Emperor Xiaohui has been in a good mood recently. He smiled and said, "During the three days of hunting, all the princes and all the young talents will have fun. The next afternoon, Shen So far, who has the most prey, I have rewarded many!"
The emperor's reward is not necessarily a very valuable thing, but it has a different meaning and is a kind of honor. Everyone is struggling to win the top spot in the hunting competition. Especially young people who have no official ranks, if they are in the eyes of the emperor, they may be able to get a full official position.
Emperor Xiaohui put on a hunting suit and set off with the guards.
The queen and three concubines who followed Emperor Xiaohui could only stay in the tent. Even Princess Duanning went hunting. Emperor Xiaohui and the empress were quite concerned about this daughter and deliberately took the opportunity to let her and Shenwu Hou Shizi cultivate a relationship, because there were so many followers that they could not be called a private meeting.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie took their two sons to choose a direction and rode away.
Chang Sun Hong wanted to follow them, but Chang Sun He and Chen Mufeng guarded him from left to right. It's just that Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's little white horses are much stronger than Zhang Sunhong's little horses, and they ran away in a short while. There are so many horseshoe prints on the ground, and they will not be able to figure out which direction they are heading for a while.
The royal hunting ground is a place for the royal family to hunt and have fun. The prey inside is specially put in by the person in charge of the hunting ground. There are no tigers, leopards, wolves and other beasts. The most dangerous one is probably wild boar, but the size is not It is too big, and the rest are mostly small prey such as wild sheep, sika deer, hares, pheasants, and foxes. In order to let people have fun, there are a lot of prey.
Qin Mian's family of four didn't run far, and Qin Mian and Lei Tie found a plump hare behind a small haystack covered with snow. The husband and wife gave the opportunity to their sons tacitly.
Qin Mian yelled softly: "Ruiqi, Ruilin."
Qin Ruiqi always took care of her younger brother, "Ruilin, come here."
Lei Ruilin nodded silently and moved forward, but unfortunately, because of his inexperience, the pony moved too much. The hare was startled when he heard the sound, and sprang up, jumping quickly into the distance.
"Brother!" Lei Ruilin yelled anxiously, and Qin Ruiqi rode a horse to catch up.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie always stayed two feet away behind them.
At this moment, a sika deer rushed out of the woods on the oblique side in a panic.
Qin Ruiqi took out an arrow from the quiver, drew the bow to loosen the string, and the feather arrow shot past like lightning and inserted it into the sika deer's belly.
"My elder brother is amazing, he was hunted so soon." Lei Ruilin had already ran a long way, turned around enviously, and continued looking for prey.
"ATie, you are optimistic about Ruiqi." Qin Mian finished speaking, following her youngest son.
Qin Ruiqi ran up to the sika deer and glanced at Lei Tie offering a treasure.
"Not bad."
Lei Tie's praise is simple, but Qin Ruiqi is still very happy.
Lei Tie picked up the prey, pulled out the feather arrow and put it back in the quiver of the elder son, and tied the prey to the horse.
"Father, let's continue."
"Ok."
The father and son randomly picked a direction and ran forward.
In the distance, Lei Ruilin was unwilling to chase a wild goat weighing more than fifty catties, and blocked it with Qin Mian.
Lei Ruilin was about to release an arrow, and a red-headed feather arrow flew from a distance and shot the wild goat first.
Qin Mian frowned and looked back. An eleven or twelve-year-old purple-clothed teenager was sitting on the horse arrogantly and unhurriedly lowered the bow in his hand; beside him was a man in Chinese clothes, about twenty Four or five, the look on his face was a little helpless.
"I have seen Mrs. Zhenguo and Duke of Anping County." The young man clasped his fists immediately.
Qin Mian whispered: "Don't be polite."
Lei Ruilin stared at the young man, dissatisfied: "Who are you? Why do you snatch my prey?"
The teenager rode a horse closer, picked up the prey and handed it to the young man, and said loudly: "Chen Bodong. Your prey? Who is the blame for your own skills?"
"Chen Bodong?" Lei Ruilin raised his eyebrows calmly, "Chen Bonan's brother?"
Chen Bodong's face sank, and he shouted, "Bold! How dare you say my name?"
Lei Ruilin wrapped his arms around his chest, sneered, and slowly said, "Why don't you dare? Although you are the eldest son of the prince, but you have no title, this prince is the Prince of Anping County pro-appointed by the emperor. Who is it? Ask the emperor."
Qin Mian smiled slightly.
"You!" Chen Bodong's expression changed, and the hand holding the reins turned bluish white because of too much force. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lei Ruilin, let's take a look!"
After all, there was some reason, he turned his horse and ran away.
Lei Ruilin made a grimace at him, blinked at his father, and leisurely rode his horse to follow.
Qin Mian guessed his son's plan and laughed secretly.
The young man glanced back, his gaze passed over Qin Mian, it was hard to say anything. Children's disputes, he still should not interfere, otherwise small problems will become big problems.
Chen Bodong quickly found Lei Ruilin following him, his face pale.
At this time, a beautiful silver and black should not enter everyone's sight.
Chen Bodong was overjoyed and quickly drew out a feather arrow. Unexpectedly, before he had time to release the arrow, a sharp arrow "swooshes" from behind him, passing through the fragile neck of the silver and black fox. The silver black fox died.
Chen Bodong turned his head and saw Lei Ruilin's retreat, frustrated, "Lei Ruilin! Do you dare to snatch my son's prey!"
"Who is the blame for your own skills?" Lei Ruilin replied calmly, ran over on a pony, picked up the prey and handed it to Qin Mian.
Chen Bodong frustrated, "You!"
Qin Mian put the prey in the hood without anyone else.
Lei Ruilin stuck his tongue out at Chen Bodong, pinched the horse's belly, and walked away.
"Huh!" Chen Bodong became angry and slammed a fist on the pine tree nearby, causing the snow to fall. He pulled the reins in an attempt to catch up with Lei Ruilin.
The young man hurriedly stopped him, "Bo Dong, calm down! Don't see that the kid is young and has a lot of strength. Didn't you see that the arrow he had just shot through the silver black fox's neck? It must be used. Internally."
"Uncle, do you really think Lei Ruilin was the one who just released the arrow?" Chen Bodong disagrees, "It must be Mrs. Zhen Guo."
The young man shook his head, "Mrs. Zhenguo is two meters away from Anping County Public. It is impossible to get close to Anping County Public in just a few breaths, take an arrow from Anping County Public's quiver, set the arrow, and return to two meters Immediately these actions outside."
Chen Bodong was speechless, and said instead: "His father caught my father, and he is my enemy. Could you just let him go! Also, Grandpa Emperor has been very cold to me recently... the silver black fox just now I wanted to hunt it for Grandpa Emperor."
The young man sighed secretly without saying anything. Treason by the eldest prince is a serious crime, and it is a blessing that the emperor has not linked other people to the palace of the elder prince. If Chen Bodong continues to target Lei Ruilin, it will only make the emperor even more unhappy.
Neither Qin Mian nor Lei Ruilin took this episode to heart. After running in the woods for nearly two hours, Lei Ruilin hunted a silver-black fox, five hares and a pheasant. Qin Mian mainly accompanies his son and has no hunting.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Lei Ruilin still felt a little distressed for the little pony, jumped off the horse, and rubbed its head.
The little pony nudged his little chest affectionately.
Qin Mian asked: "Do you want to go back to the camp or just eat here."
Lei Ruilin said, "Go back to the camp and let the pony eat some fodder."
Qin Mian took him to his horse and returned to the camp with the little pony.
The camp is cooking, and there is a burst of fragrance.
Lei Tie and Qin Ruiqi came back a long time ago. They got a pile of firewood from nowhere. They set up a clean place in a remote corner and lit a fire. There were four pheasants on it, which had been roasted for a long time, and the color was crisp yellow. , And the oil spurts out, which is coveted.
Qin Ruiqi sat in front of Lei Tie, with two fish skewered on two sticks in his hand, probably from the room, but it was a bit squished.
"Father, I'm hungry!" Lei Ruilin jumped off his horse and ran over.
Qin Mian threw the reins to the guards and followed them unhurriedly.
"Wait." Lei Tie glanced at Wife and his younger son again, making sure that they were not injured, retracted his gaze, took out a bottle of seasoning from his pocket and sprinkled it on the roast chicken, spread it evenly with a small brush, and continued roasting.
Qin Mian sat down beside him, resting his chin in his hands, looking at him with a smile, waiting to eat.
Lei Ruilin took out two packs of beef jerky, handed one to his brother, and fed one to each of his fathers. The two brothers were heads next to their heads, eating snacks and talking quietly, mainly Lei Ruilin was there. Tell Qin Ruiqi about encountering Chen Bodong.
