Li Yuanji had just walked to the weapons rack in the competition arena.
The shelves displayed swords, spears, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, as well as several horse twigs and armor stomachs tied next to them.
Not far away, there were seven or eight human-shaped military uniform racks, which were also wrapped in dark military uniforms.
Several eunuchs were standing guard nearby. If someone borrowed a hunting uniform, they would put it on carefully.
However, almost all those who can be invited to participate in today's Nanyuan hunt lack military uniforms, so they are generally not needed.
Li Yuanji was in front of the weapons rack, trying out the string of a strong bow.
Since most of the strong bows provided by Nanyuan Hunting Ground are made of animal sinews, they tend to become stiff due to the cold weather, so you have to try which one is still usable and which one is already stiff.
Although Li Yuanji himself brought a strong bow, his strong bow was not suitable for hunting.
Because his strong bow is made of pure copper, any missing arrows are iron arrows with a health slot.
When an arrow is shot out, it will not only pierce the prey, make two holes, and destroy a good piece of leather, but it will also drain the blood on the prey, making it sting with blood.
So he had to choose another strong bow.
"jump jump jump……"
Li Yuanji was holding a strong bow, and the bow strings bounced like cotton.
But Li Yuanji is more like describing his bow as a thunderbolt.
"Your Highness really has a good eye. This is a good bow."
When Li Yuanji was about to play the bow string, Xue Wanshu stepped forward to flatter him.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Xue Wanshu angrily, and with a little force on his hand, the bow of the strong bow snapped and broke into two sections.
Then Li Yuanji took the broken bow and asked Xue Wanshu, "What's so good about it?"
Xue Wanshu blushed and was speechless.
Xie Shufang covered his mouth and kept snickering to the side.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Xie Shufang again and said angrily: "Why are you laughing? You are not a good person either."
The smile on Xie Shufang's face froze, and his cheeks began to turn red.
Li Yuanji's eyes lingered on Xue Wanshu and Xie Shufang, and he snorted: "You and Kan Leng are both my subordinates. He is not smart, why don't you teach him?"
Xue Wanshu and Xie Shufang immediately wanted to defend themselves, but Li Yuanji did not give them a chance to defend themselves, and said: "Kan Leng is a person who values friendship. If you help him more in the future, you won't suffer."
Xue Wanshu and Xie Shufang nodded almost without hesitation.
What Li Yuanji said is correct. Showing kindness to people who are kind to you is like saving money, and you will not suffer any losses.
When you need them, they will come forward and risk their lives to repay your kindness without you asking.
Luo Shixin is an example.
Li Yuanji saved Luo Shixin's life, and also saved the lives of some of Luo Shixin's subordinates.
When Li Yuanji was in danger at Weize Pass, Luo Shixin risked his legs and rushed to Weize Pass to help.
Although he failed to catch up with the battle at Weize Pass, everyone saw Luo Shixin's attitude.
It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Shixin did far better than Li Yuanji's sister and brother in rushing to the aid of Weze Pass.
At least Li Xiuning and Li Shimin did not abandon everything at hand when Li Yuanji was in danger and risked their lives to go to Weize Pass to help Li Yuanji.
"Okay, you go and send a message to my second brother alone, saying that you can start hunting."
Li Yuanji was not willing to teach two people who were older than him how to behave.
So I don’t want to say too much.
After instructing Xue Wanshu and Xie Shufang to take care of Dian Kanleng, they focused on hunting.
Speaking of the fact that it had been more than a year since he came to Datang, he had never personally experienced this kind of activity that was relatively prosperous in Datang.
Although the weather at this time of year is not very good, and most of the wild animals are too lazy to move around, you can still shoot some deer and piglets.
If you're lucky, you'll find a tiger's nest or a bear's nest, and you'll be able to cook it all at once.
As for whether you will be injured by tigers and bears, that's a joke.
There is no shortage of people in this era who can capture tigers alive and fight black bears.
As long as Li Yuanji is in danger, or Li Shimin is in danger, a group of people who can fight tigers and black bears will come out without calling him.
For example, Xie Shufang can deal with a black bear just by relying on skills without relying on brute force.
Like Kan Leng, a one-foot-long clapping knife can make even tigers tremble when they see it.
However, Xue Wanshu was a little weaker.
So when Xie Shufang hurriedly ran to convey a message to Li Shimin, Li Yuanji casually picked a barely usable bow, threw it into Xue Wanshu's arms, and said in a nonchalant manner, "You are hunting."
When the time comes, just keep following me."
Li Yuanji is confident that he can protect Xue Wanshu when facing the tiger and the black bear.
It's not that Li Yuanji is arrogant, but that in this era, with his ability, unless he encounters an irresistible disaster or disease, there are few dangers that can threaten his life.
"Your Highness, are you afraid that I will be in danger when I go hunting alone? You are looking down on me."
Xue Wanshu understood almost instantly why Li Yuanji wanted him to follow.
He was looked down upon and he was not happy.
Li Yuanji glared at Xue Wanshu and said, "So what if I underestimate you? No matter how capable you are, can you still be greater than me?"
Xue Wanshu opened his mouth, his face turned red, and he was a little heartbroken by the rebuke.
"Your Highness, His Highness the King of Qin said that you can go into the mountain first, and he will come later."
Just when Li Yuanji despised and ridiculed Xue Wanshu, Xie Shufang came back and brought back Li Shimin's reply.
When Li Yuanji heard this, he did not wait for Li Shimin anymore, took Xue Wanshu and Xie Shufang, and ordered people to greet Kan Leng and others, and together they entered a forest in Nanyuan Hunting Ground.
Nanyuan Hunting Ground, like Jiulongtan Mountain, occupies a corner of the Qinling Mountains, so there are several mountains and forests.
In the mountains and forests, there are not only wild animals that escape from the depths of the Qinling Mountains, but also some wild animals kept in captivity by the royal family.
However, under normal circumstances, royal people were not allowed to enter the mountains and forests for hunting, and could only wander around the edges of the mountains and forests.
"Treading on the Stars"
Only princes with status like Li Yuanji and Li Shimin would be allowed to enter the mountains and forests when they were hunting with a group of powerful generals and subordinates.
There is no other reason.
Let alone a wild beast that came out of the depths of the Qinling Mountains, let alone a zongzi that came out of the depths of the Qinling Mountains.
Li Yuanji and Li Shimin were captured on the spot, and then their bones were crushed and their ashes spread.
Therefore, the rules set by Nanyuan Hunting Ground are not to restrict people from entering the mountains and forests, nor to open the mountains and forests to the public based on their status, but to protect some idiots who do not have enough strength to protect themselves, but want to commit suicide in the mountains and forests.
However, as a result, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji did not have time to organize autumn hunting, or if they did not organize autumn hunting for some reason, the hunting ground would be prone to overflowing with prey.
After all, they were served delicious food and drinks, but the wild beasts didn't know how to plan their children, so they had no choice but to live happily without fear of their lives.
Therefore, Li Yuanji encountered a roadblock as soon as he entered the mountain.
Fat and fat, with a round belly.
"Hey! It's a big female insect! She's still pregnant with her cubs! Caught it! Go back and make it a pet for your highnesses!"
Xue Wanshu saw the tigress and was very excited.
Maybe it was to show his strength in front of Li Yuanji and prove himself, or maybe he really wanted to capture a nest of tiger cubs for Li Chengye and others.
Anyway, without saying a word, Xue Wanshu charged towards the tigress with one knife and one blow.
Kan Leng didn't say anything and followed him.
As a result, Xue Wanshu just rushed in front of the tigress with his teeth and claws open, and Kan Leng handed over the ten-foot-long sword.
Xue Wanshu watched as Kan Leng's ten-foot-long sword pierced the tigress' buttocks.
Then he watched helplessly as the tigress roared angrily at the two of them, and then fled into the forest in panic.
Xue Wanshu didn't know what to say.
After a long time, he yelled at Kan Leng.
"You bitch, who asked you to do it?"
Kan Leng said blankly: "You didn't say you wouldn't let me do it."
Xue Wanshu opened his mouth, but he didn't want to argue with Kan Leng anymore.
It's really a scholar meeting a soldier. You can't tell whether it's reasonable or not.
"How come this big female insect doesn't have the posture of the king of beasts at all? It just pounces on people without showing its teeth and claws, but why does it run away?"
Xie Shufang stood next to Li Yuanji holding a big gun with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Xie Shufang and said nothing.
They had just entered the forest, and ninety-nine percent of the ferocious beasts they encountered were kept in captivity by people from Nanyuan Hunting Ground.
I'm afraid the wild nature has been worn down a long time ago. When I met a group of them wearing armor and holding blades, and got beaten up, how could I not run away?
Although the tiger is ferocious, it is not a wolf, nor is it wild and untamable.
Therefore, after being kept in captivity for a long time, or being beaten several times by others, it is reasonable to run away when seeing people.
It would be different if it were a wolf. Even if it knows it is outmatched and makes a strategic retreat, it will follow you silently, and when you relax, it will pounce on you and bite you.
"We'd better disperse. Otherwise, many of us may return empty-handed."
Less than an hour after entering the forest, Li Yuanji decided to part ways with Xie Shufang, Kan Leng and others.
With Xue Wanshu, Xie Shufang, Kan Leng and others trying to snatch the prey, he had no chance to take action.
In addition, Xue Wanshu and others were following behind him, and they all behaved in a regular manner, as if they were doing a routine, and there was no fun in hunting at all.
Xue Wanshu and others gave him the feeling that they were accompanying him on a hunting trip, rather than enjoying the entire hunting experience.
"I must protect His Highness's safety."
Kan Leng said with an "I'm serious" look.
Xue Wanshu, Xie Shufang and others were immediately amused by Kan Leng.
Although Li Yuanji has a noble status and their status is low, they should protect Li Yuanji.
But with Li Yuanji's ability, it's enough to keep them safe, so they still need to be protected.
"No need, I came here for you this time to hunt, not to protect me. You can have fun as much as you want.
When you've had enough fun, it's time to face a powerful enemy."
Li Yuanji didn't laugh at Kan Leng's rigidity, but he didn't want Kan Leng and others to continue to follow.
