Chapter 239: The mantis stalks the cicada! (9)
Woo——
The horn sounded, and a group of black-armored cavalry filed out of the camp, naturally divided into the left and right sides, assuming a protective posture.
Qin Jia, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was dressed in a dragon-patterned war robe and golden armor. He rode out on horseback, with a sword hanging from his waist and a golden bow on his back, showing his sharp edge. Behind him, the veteran Xiao Jiuzhong rode his horse and followed.
"See you, Your Majesty!" All the people waiting on their horses bowed and saluted.
Qin Jia raised his left hand on the horse and waved it down violently, "Let's go!"
The Imperial Guards opened the way, Qin Jia and Xiao Jiuzhong marched in the army, behind them were the Chu Guards and the Yulin Army carefully guarding them, followed by the Crown Prince, the princes, various ministers, generals and their heirs, and finally the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Grassland
Sir, more than 10,000 men and horses are marching toward the wild hunting ground in a mighty manner.
Not into the wild, not for hunting.
Wild hunting is the highlight of autumn hunting, and it is also the most thrilling and exciting part.
This royal hunting ground covers a vast area. Except for the flat grassland where everyone set up camp, the other two-thirds of the area is a hilly hunting area composed of grassland and virgin forest belt.
This hilly area is the remnant of Beimang Snow Mountain. It is nourished by the snow water on the snow mountain. Within the hunting ground, there are dense forests and lakes dotted with banners. The hunting ground is rich in all kinds of wild animals, including elk, wild game, and cranes.
Birds...everything you want.
After walking for a long time, the army finally arrived outside the hunting line.
The advance marchers had already set up simple tents. Qin Jia took the lead in dismounting his horse and shooting whistle arrows. Accompanied by the exciting sound of drums, a group of hunters drove their horses and rushed toward the hunting area ahead.
According to the tradition of Autumn Hunting in Chu, the one who brings back the most prey on the first day of wild hunting will be awarded the title of Golden Archer by the Emperor, and will also be favored by the Emperor.
Back then, Xiao Jiuzhong was appreciated by Qin Jia, who was still the prince, because of his performance in the autumn hunt. From then on, the two joined hands in the world, Qin Jia took the throne of emperor, and Xiao Jiuzhong also stepped from the fifth rank to the rank of general.
The position of first-grade general refers to the power of military affairs.
At a time like this, which young person doesn’t work hard to achieve success in the future?!
"Brother Qi, Xiao Yao, let's show them today!"
Qin Ruoxue rode her horse hurriedly all the way and rushed to the front of the team, her face full of excitement.
Qin Haoyu followed her with a smile, but Xiao Yao's eyes turned to Qin Jia and Xiao Jiuzhong who were sitting in front of the tent in the distance, feeling slightly worried in his heart.
As soon as several teams entered the hunting ground, they immediately dispersed.
Some are running towards the slightly flat river beach, while others are running towards the shrubs with low vegetation...
"Seventh Prince, Mr. Xiao, are you interested in following us to play in the dense forest?"
In front, Princess Shengning rode across the grassland in white, and behind her, more than a thousand white-feathered troops seemed to be stationed at random, but they formed an encirclement and blockade.
"Princess, what do you mean by this?!" Qin Ruoxue reined in the horse displeasedly, "Is it possible that the more are bullying the less?!"
"Ninth Princess, don't get me wrong!" Chu Jingyun, who was behind Princess Shengning, took a slight step forward, "Chu just wants to have a small competition with the Thirteenth Young Master. I think the Thirteenth Young Master will definitely not refuse.
?!"
"Master Chu!" Qin Haoyu turned his horse's head slightly and protected Xiao Yao, "My father has said before that he doesn't want any more duels to happen during the autumn hunt. I don't think you have forgotten it.
Bar?!"
"Ha..." Chu Jingyun laughed loudly, "My lord, don't misunderstand, Chu just wants to compare his hunting skills with the Thirteenth Young Master, and has no other intentions?!"
