Chapter 437 The Orion Outside Xuanfu City
Yunxi patted his head with his hands. No matter what, he finally solved a problem, which is worthy of happiness.
And he immediately started looking at something else that would make him even happier.
Yunxi opened the memorial that he had just put aside and read it carefully.
After a while, Yunxi said happily: "Okay, okay." He said three good words in a row, which showed that he was very satisfied.
Of course Yunxi would be satisfied, because the troops who went to Nanyang to conquer Buchen successfully completed the tasks assigned to them by Yunxi. Not one point is too much, not one point is too little.
Then Yunxi said to Huang Lu who was standing next to him: "Go and pass on my order and let the person who sent the memorial to Beijing enter the palace to see you."
Huang Lu agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty." But he immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is already noon now, and no one from outside the palace will be able to come to the palace for a while. Your Majesty should have lunch first."
Yunxi also felt hungry when he heard what he said. He was too focused on talking to Zhao Diyi just now, and this memorial brought good news, so he didn't even notice that he was hungry.
Yunxi stood up and said to Huang Lu: "You are right, it's time for me to have a meal." Then he walked to the harem.
========================================
Xuanfu, outside Xuanfu city.
A group of men and horses were driving slowly on the snowy field. From time to time, they would stop to set up their bows and arrows. Their arrows were also very accurate. Every time an arrow was shot, the running beast stopped, and then someone dismounted and shot it.
The prey was picked up on horseback.
I don’t know how many prey they captured. After successfully hunting a tiger, one of them said to the person sitting on the horse: "Your Highness, I have already killed a tiger. It is almost the same to skin the tiger and give it to Your Majesty."
OK, just go back."
A man wearing a prince's uniform rode a horse close to the dead tiger, took a look at it and said, "But this tiger skin is not quite complete. There is a wound there. It would be inappropriate to give it to His Majesty."
The man said: "Your Highness, it is the middle of winter. It is not easy to find a tiger. It is also difficult to find a perfect tiger skin. Even if you wander around in the mountains for several days, you may not be able to find one. So Your Highness should go back here.
Bar."
This person was Chonggang, the guard of Prince Gu's Mansion, and the person he called His Highness was Prince Zhu Su of Gu.
The king of the valley, Zhu Su, plans to go to the capital this year after the Chinese New Year. Since he is going to the capital for an audience, it is also considered a tribute, so he cannot go empty-handed. It is difficult to get rid of ordinary local specialties, so Zhu Su plans to bring the
The skins of tigers, which are almost invisible in Jiangnan, were sent to the capital as tribute.
What's more, Zhu Su went to the capital this time not only because Zhu Di had written to them before to persuade them to join in the rebellion, but Zhu Su himself also wanted to move his fiefdom to Peking, so he needed to have something he could use.
But now after Zhu Lu thought carefully for a moment, he felt that Chonggang's idea made sense. Tigers are not that easy to find, and wandering around in the mountains for several days is also very dangerous, so he said: "In that case, let's go back."
Chonggang breathed a sigh of relief, and together with the other guards, he put the dead tiger on the carriage, and then the group turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast, and Chonggang judged based on his experience that it was the sound of a tiger!
Zhu Su probably heard it and said loudly: "Quick, go and catch this big insect!"
Now that Zhu Su had given the order, Chonggang hurriedly took a dozen guards, prepared various things, and rushed to the place where the tiger was shouting; Zhu Su followed behind on horseback.
But by the time Chonggang and the others arrived, the tiger had already been killed. Several people in thick clothes gathered around the tiger, seeming to be talking about something, and many of them had smiles on their faces.
However, when they saw Chonggang and his group, they immediately became alert. They each hung their bows on their bodies, and took out the daggers on their waists to look at Chonggang and his group.
Chonggang could tell at a glance that they were hunters in this area, and they must be skilled hunters. Chonggang glanced at their bows and knew that although their bows were hanging on their bodies, if they wanted to shoot arrows, they would be better than those in the army.
The average soldier can hold the bow faster.
No matter how arrogant Chonggang was, he did not dare to snatch anything from these hunters in the wilderness, so he loudly said: "A few friends, I just want to buy a tiger skin, can you let me take a look at the tiger you hunted?
If you like it, we will definitely buy it, and the price will definitely not make our friends suffer!"
The few people discussed it and figured out that they were not ordinary people. Their families should be very wealthy, so the hunter who headed them said, "Then come and have a look. But no one else is allowed to get close."
Chonggang had dealt with these hunters in the mountains before, knew their rules, and had bought things from them, so he was not afraid and rode over on his own.
Then Chonggang looked at the tiger skin carefully, then turned to Zhu Su who was more than ten feet away and said: "Your Highness, this is a complete tiger skin! And this is also a white tiger skin!"
Zhu Su immediately said: "Ask them what the price is, sir, I will take it!"
Chonggang turned around and said, "What's the price of this tiger skin? My master wants it."
The leader of the hunter said: "According to the rules, we peel off the white tiger skin and spread it on the ground. You can code silver ingots on it. This white tiger skin will be worth as much as the number of silver ingots can be coded on it."
Chonggang immediately started bargaining: "Friend, this is the price you said in the city, but now we are in the mountains, so we can't pay this price, right?"
8 said: "What you said is wrong..."
…
After repeated bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement: 80% of the price in the city.
After a while, the tiger skin transaction was completed, and Zhu Su pointed to other prey and said, "I want these of your prey too, sir."
These hunters were naturally willing. They only left a few pheasants and rabbits to take back, and the rest were sold to Zhu Su and the others.
For these ordinary prey, which were not worth much money, Chonggang would not bargain with them. They would give them as much as they said and then come back with the prey.
Zhu Su didn't care about the other prey. He looked at the complete tiger skin in his hand and said happily: "Brother Zhou Wang, Brother Dai Wang and Jin Wang's nephew will also go to the capital to remonstrate, but the tribute in their hands
I'm afraid nothing can compare to this white tiger skin in my hand!" White tigers are very rare and have always been considered auspicious. There are few things in the world that can compare with it.
Zhu Su got a rare white tiger skin and was very satisfied, so he called the guards back to Xuanfu City.
