Chapter 531: Riding a horse, bending a bow, and shooting at a large eagle
The rumble of horses' hooves left Jincheng and headed towards the wilderness.
We marched all the way and stopped that night.
However, this was not the hunting place Liu Cheng chose.
Near Jincheng, there is a lot of land suitable for farming, and these lands have been reclaimed into farmland.
Now these farmlands have been plowed and crops have been planted.
Liu Cheng naturally wanted to avoid these places when hunting.
I really don’t dare to waste crops.
Moreover, generally in places where a large number of crops are grown, there are not many wild animals.
The place Liu Cheng and the others were planning to go was a hundred miles away from Jincheng.
A place called Lotus Terrace by the locals.
Here, there are mostly mountains and the land seems relatively barren.
And it's remote, so few people live here.
There are a lot of wild animal activities here, making it a good hunting location...
There was no talking all night, and before dawn, I had already started cooking.
As soon as it got dark, everyone started to set off.
It's exactly like marching.
During this process, Liu Cheng ate the same food as the soldiers.
The thirty-one Qiang girls, the Qiang-headed men who followed them, and some Qiang warriors all ate the same thing.
This made many Qiang people sigh with emotion.
Originally, they all thought that based on Uncle Liu's dignity and wealth, every meal must be delicacies from the mountains and seas.
The food they ate was all things they had never seen before.
As a result, it was now discovered that the extremely noble Uncle Liu Huang actually ate the same food as them!
This surprised them and felt a great impact.
This Uncle Liu Huang is truly worthy of being Uncle Liu Huang!
How could he be so approachable and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers?
No wonder he has so many elite men in his hands!
So many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for him!
Everyone walked forward until it was almost noon before they finally arrived at the Lotus Terrace.
The sun is high in the sky, casting a warm light that makes people feel warm and comfortable.
"Pullingleng!"
"Click, click, click..."
The movement of people coming disturbed the animals living here.
About 250 steps ahead of the team in the grass, the sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded.
In an instant, three pheasants flew out of the grass!
Three pheasants, one male and two females.
The rooster has very beautiful feathers, with long feathers trailing behind it, which look particularly gorgeous under the sunlight.
The two females are not as big as the males, and are generally yellowish-brown in color. From an ornamental point of view, they are far inferior to the roosters.
The sudden movement caused many war horses to be startled and neighing.
It was at this time that the sound of trembling bowstrings sounded one after another.
Three pheasants heading in different directions were hit by arrows one after another. Their flight was interrupted almost in no particular order and they fell from the sky.
Even the chirping stopped abruptly!
Everyone looked around and saw that Uncle Liu Huang, who was riding a horse and walking in the front, had already taken a bow in his hand at some point.
The bowstring in my hand is still trembling.
Everyone looked at each other again. In addition to Uncle Liu Huang, there were several people holding bows, but their bows had not been completely taken off!
In other words, the three pheasants just now were shot down by Uncle Liu Huang!
The place where those three pheasants took off was at least 250 steps away from Uncle Liu Huang.
After takeoff, the distance is further.
The body moves rapidly in the air.
As a result, under such circumstances, Uncle Liu Huang actually fired his bow one after another and shot all three pheasants in the blink of an eye?
Is this something a human can do?!
You must know that what was shot was three pheasants in flight, and they were flying in different directions.
It's not the kind of thing that stays still.
But in the end, Uncle Liu Huang accomplished such a thing in such a short period of time!
The Qiang people are good at riding and shooting, and Li Shui, the leader of the Baishui tribe, is an expert at riding and shooting, but at this time he was completely overwhelmed.
It is precisely because he is good at riding and shooting that he can better appreciate the skill Liu Cheng showed just now.
Many Qiang people were immediately stunned and stunned.
The eyes that looked at Uncle Liu Huang were full of disbelief, and soon this disbelief turned into enthusiasm.
This is Uncle Liu Huang, the one they admire!
Not only is he noble and kind, he is also so good at martial arts!
Reached an astonishing height!
The Qiang people worship the strong, and there is no doubt that what Liu Cheng just showed satisfies their fantasy of the strong.
Not only them, but also people like Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Pang De were shocked.
They had long known that Uncle Liu Huang was superb in martial arts, and Zhao Yun had even fought against Uncle Liu in person.
But at this time, after seeing the miraculous shooting skills displayed by Liu Cheng, he was still shocked.
Emperor's uncle, you are indeed worthy of being an emperor's uncle!
"good!"
Ma Chao couldn't help but cheer loudly, and rode out to pick up the three pheasants that had been hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
"good!"
"good!"
The rest of the people followed suit and cheered loudly, looking at Liu Cheng with fanatical eyes.
This miraculous operation conquered them all!
When Ma Chao rode back and, together with Pang De, raised the three pheasants high for everyone to watch, everyone was even more shocked and the cheers became even stronger!
Because those three pheasants all had arrows stuck in their heads!
In other words, Liu Chenggang did not just shoot these three flying pheasants to death in an instant, but in such a situation, he shot the head with an arrow!
Liu Cheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
What he showed just now was because, on the one hand, he had been unable to make a move for a long time and his hands were a little itchy. On the other hand, he also wanted to use this method to let the Qiang people see his bravery and surrender even more.
He turned to face everyone and laughed, then raised the hand holding the big bow high, waved his arm fiercely at everyone, and shouted: "Start hunting!"
Everyone's emotions had been completely aroused by the miraculous shooting skills Liu Cheng had just displayed.
Hearing Liu Cheng's order, there was an immediate howling response.
Everyone rode their horses and rushed forward following Liu Cheng, and soon entered the area of Lianhua Mountain.
However, they dispersed and officially started hunting here.
With their arrival, the peaceful place soon became unstable. From time to time, the cry of wild beasts would be heard, and occasionally a frightened beast would be seen running away quickly...
The thirty-one Qiang girls selected by Liu Cheng also changed their clothes at this time, no longer wearing long clothes, but all wearing fancy clothes.
One by one, they were galloping on horses, looking particularly heroic.
They all also participated in the hunt.
Moreover, he seems to be working very hard.
Because their leader has already told them that since Uncle Liu Huang wants to take them hunting, he must want to pass such a thing to conduct an assessment and judge based on the final result.
Therefore, they are required to perform well in this hunt and produce more results.
Only in this way can we stay with a great hero like Uncle Liu Huang and the loving father of the Qiang people...
On top of a relatively bare mountain top, Liu Cheng stood here, looking down at the surroundings.
This is a dirt hill.
Although it is a mountain, the terrain is relatively gentle and can be climbed on horseback.
This is the place with the best view here.
The war horse stood beside him, snoring in boredom.
His eyes mainly fell on the Qiang women and watched their actions.
The assessment of these Qiang women was different from what these people thought. It did not start with hunting, but started when Liu Cheng met them.
Every time they meet, Liu Cheng will seemingly casually pay attention to their behavior, words and deeds, and look at their inner feelings from this external performance.
On the way here, Liu Cheng was also paying attention to their behavior.
Compared with when they were in Jincheng, on the way here on horseback, as the time continued to extend, these women were no longer as restrained as before, and inadvertently, some of their true qualities were revealed.
By this time, Liu Cheng had already excluded a few people in his mind and was more optimistic about a few people.
For those Qiang women who were excluded by Liu Cheng, this matter was over before it even began.
However, many things in life are often like this.
Many people often feel that a critical moment determines their destiny.
In fact, many times this is not the case.
The things that determine your destiny are often hidden in the days that you think are ordinary.
Accumulating day after day.
And that important moment you think is just a relatively intense display after day after day accumulation.
In life, no one will tell you how to do it, tell you when the assessment will start and when it will end. It can even be said that there is no assessment.
But the more this happens, the greater the test actually becomes.
Just like the cheapest things are often the most expensive.
In daily life, some people are messing around, and eventually they are messed up by life.
Some people accumulate and fill themselves day by day. When the opportunity comes, they seize the opportunity, pass the "assessment of life", and turn over.
In this regard, many people will envy his good luck and lament how their own luck is so bad.
What would happen if I could get this opportunity?
In fact, this is not the case.
The same opportunity is given to you, but you still can't grasp it.
Because, this is only seeing the success when it finally breaks out, but ignoring some of the efforts and accumulation of the other party in the past day after day, which seemed boring or particularly happy...
Liu Cheng thought so, shook his head, and got rid of these thoughts from his mind.
This person has experienced a lot. Sometimes, it is easy to have some emotions and get some paradoxical life experiences...
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was evening.
The horn sounded, and the people who had gone out to hunt returned one after another after hearing the horn.
Many people had smiles on their faces and looked extremely happy.
Hunting for most of the day made them feel relaxed.
Of course, these are all members of Liu Cheng's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
As for Han Yu, Zhao Si and other people from the Qiang tribe, they did not participate.
This is to avoid suspicion.
To prevent them from helping people of their own tribe in the process.
Not all of the thirty-one Qiang women were rewarded; more than half of them returned empty-handed.
Their riding skills are indeed good, but not all of them are proficient in riding and shooting.
And when it comes to hunting, sometimes you can't find prey.
The eight Qiang women who caught prey had different reactions.
After all, even prey comes in different sizes.
Some people were carrying a hare, someone was carrying a larger bird, and someone was carrying a fox.
Compared with those who didn't catch the prey, they were indeed happy, but compared with the one who had the best harvest, the prey in their hands suddenly didn't taste good.
Happiness is not that pure.
Things are often like this. If there is no conflict of interests and there are not too many expectations in the heart, many things can be displayed very casually and indifferently.
Once you have an idea, it becomes different. The more you value it, the easier it is to worry about gains and losses.
After arriving at the temporary camp, the eyes of many Qiang women could not help but fall on a Qiang woman.
And this Qiang woman also had a smile on her face, her head raised high, and she looked like she stood out from the crowd.
She has such pride.
Because in front of her, there was a dead deer!
This was the prey she brought back, and it was also the biggest and best prey among all the Qiang women.
It is very intuitive to see that she is the winner of this hunt.
"You shouldn't have let that deer go! You had the power to shoot that deer.
But you just didn’t do this..."
Han Yu looked a little angry and said this to a Qiang girl.
This Qiang girl is from their Qingque tribe.
His riding and shooting skills are very good.
Although Han Yu and others did not participate in the previous hunting, they watched from the outside.
He clearly saw the situation at that time.
This deer initially rushed towards the girl of its own tribe and was very close to her.
The girl named Han Mu from her own tribe also raised her bow and aimed at the deer.
According to her ability, under the circumstances, even if she couldn't kill the deer with one hit, she could still shoot it and then chase it on horseback, and basically capture it.
But in the end, she didn't fire the arrow, and just watched the deer escape from her.
Later, this deer became the prey of the girl named Li Yang from the White Water Department.
"Well, that deer is a doe. Her belly is very big. There must be a calf inside. It looks like she is about to give birth.
I...I can't bear to do it..."
Han Mu glanced at the leader, Han Yu, and quickly lowered his head. Like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head and said these words.
"You, you...I...I don't even know what to say about you!"
When Han Yu heard this, he was so angry that he pointed at Han Mu and was speechless...
