The sun is shining brightly and the mountains are quiet.
A little deer cautiously poked its head out from the slightly withered woods and looked around. Seeing that everything was very peaceful, it ran down step by step and rushed to a winding stream in the valley below.
The stream gurgled and made a tinkling sound. The deer patrolled the stream again. After making sure there was no danger, it lowered its head to drink water.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound from a bowstring behind the rocks on the opposite side of the stream, and an arrow shot out, hitting the side of the chest of the deer that was drinking water. The deer let out a mournful cry, and then fell down.
After waving its hooves a few times, it stopped moving.

"Okay, hit!"
"Hahaha, Your Majesty is so good at archery. He can hit the target with a hundred shots and pierce a poplar with a hundred steps!"
From behind the rock, a group of people rushed out. Some of them were dressed as guards in armor, and some were dressed as servants in green clothes and small hats. Each one of them happily followed a young man and rushed toward the stream bank.
The young man wore tight-fitting white armor, black climbing boots, and held a bow and arrow. He had a long face, thick lips, thick eyebrows and wide mouth. He looked very mature, but the childishness on his face remained, and he was obviously only thirteen or fourteen years old.
juvenile.
Two healthy servants rushed over, carried the deer over, and placed it on a smooth rock next to the creek. Everyone gathered around the deer and talked.
"Your Majesty is good at archery. This arrow hit the heart and killed him with one arrow. It is really admirable that he fell to the ground."
"That's right. The hands of the young ones are trembling because of nervousness. The prince's face is not red and his heart is not beating. He just bends his bow and shoots. He is quite like Genghis Khan's bending of his bow and shooting at a big eagle."
"I'm calling you to tell me that the prince's archery skills are indeed exquisite and admirable. But the most powerful thing is not the archery skills, but the strategy. Setting up an ambush by the stream, waiting for wild animals to come to drink water, and then killing them with one blow. This is the real
What is admirable and admirable. Unlike the previous times, when we chased roe deer and wild boars in the forest, we were almost exhausted, but the harvest was not good. This time, the prince’s strategy succeeded easily. This is the most admirable thing.
Where is the place?"
"Yes, yes, Lao Qin is right. His strategies are first-class and the most admirable."
Everyone nodded in admiration.

The young man grinned, leaned over and looked at the dead deer in front of him, and laughed in a childish voice: "Finally, someone understands that archery is not the most important thing, but planning is. I told you earlier.
Yes, this area has high mountains and dense forests. You have to look for prey everywhere.
It consumes a lot of physical energy and time. So, it is better to guard the water source. No matter what kind of prey you are, as long as it is a living creature, it must eat and drink. If you don't drink water, you will die of thirst. So, we might as well wait for them here.
Deliver it to your door. This is the most effective and easiest way."
"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. Wild animals must drink water." Everyone agreed.
The young man shook his head and said: "This is just the first level of truth. This creek runs through the valley, and there are many places where you can drink water. With just such a small number of people, we simply cannot guard the entire creek. Therefore, we choose a place to squat.
It’s even more important to know where they’re going to come to drink water. That’s the key.”
The guards and servants originally did not agree with this kind of wait-and-see approach. Even if they shot a deer, they thought it was just a blind cat hitting a mouse. Before, they were just flattering. But after hearing these words from the prince,
Suddenly I felt interesting. Could it be that there is really some knowledge here?
"Your Majesty, please tell us, how do you determine that you can catch prey in this area?" someone asked.
The young man smiled and said: "It's very simple. You have to learn to think like a wild animal. If you were a wild animal, would you like to drink water when you are thirsty? When you go to drink water, should you choose a flat place or a flat place?
Deep ravines and rugged places? Besides, you are afraid
Aren’t you afraid of being preyed upon and ambushed by other ferocious wild animals? Have you found a good retreat? Do you have to choose an open place where you can spot the enemy early? As long as you can think like a wild animal, you will know where to choose.
Ambushed everywhere."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and a middle-aged man shouted loudly: "Oh, I understand, I understand. The prince chose this place because the terrain is flat and open, and there are not too many long grasses and ravines around for ferocious beasts."
The ambush is close. And it is also very close to the forest on the hillside. If an unexpected situation occurs, you can quickly escape and save your life."
Hearing what the man said, all the followers suddenly understood and nodded loudly in agreement. At the same time, the sunshine looking at the young man became full of true admiration. A young man of only thirteen years old could actually think so carefully.
It's incredible. The prince's intelligence and resourcefulness are really unparalleled.
The young man chuckled and nodded: "Li Zhong, you are right, it is exactly these factors you mentioned. Think like prey."
Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and the young man reached out and pulled out the arrows from the dead deer, wiped them clean and put them into the arrow pot.

Li Zhong bent down and turned the prey over, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is really rare to be able to hunt this sika deer. Deer is the most difficult to hunt because it runs fast and is very cautious. It will run away without a trace at the slightest sign of disturbance.
No trace. This should be the first deer that the prince has hunted this year. It is considered complete."
The young man smiled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? Yesterday I just learned the biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin in the Historical Records. There is a sentence in it: Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it, so the talented and swift got it first. Look,
I shot this deer today, hehehe, isn’t it some luck?”
Everyone laughed and said, "It turns out that there was a warning. The prince had a premonition that he was going to catch a deer. It's awesome, it's awesome."
The young man just laughed and said to himself: You guys, you guys, don’t even know the meaning of this sentence. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, you can’t say this nonsense.
Everyone's thoughts turned to the dead deer. Some people suggested removing the internal organs on the spot and making a fire to roast the fresh deer meat for drinking. It was the most delicious. Some people said that while it was still early, they could guard a few more prey before returning home.
Dispose of them together.
While they were still debating, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind the mountain. Several people were riding horses galloping down the mountain road, heading straight for the crowd in the valley.
"It's broken. When the horse ran like this, all the little beasts nearby were gone." Someone complained.
"It's Commander Bai from the mansion. I'm afraid he's here to report something." Li Zhong shouted.
Only then did everyone recognize that it was Bai Zicheng, the commander of the guards in the palace. The commander of the guards had a high status in the palace. He came on horseback in person, thinking that something must be up with him.
Bai Zicheng and several guards came on horseback, dismounted not far away and walked quickly. The young man led the people to greet them, and Bai Zicheng bowed his hands in salute.

"Hello, Your Majesty, you made it easy for us to find him," Bai Zicheng shouted.
The young man nodded and asked, "Why did you come here? What's the matter?"
Bai Zicheng said: "On the order of the prince, I ask the prince to return to the house as soon as possible. The prince said that we have important matters to discuss."
The young man frowned and said, "We need to discuss something? What is it?"
Bai Zicheng said solemnly: "I didn't know either. There was a letter coming from the capital. After receiving the letter, the prince immediately asked me to come to the mountain to find the prince back home, saying that he wanted to discuss important matters. So I took people up the mountain to look for him. It seems that
He looked very anxious."
The young man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, let's go back home. Li Zhong, take me to the woods to fetch the horse."
Li Zhong promised in a loud voice, and led everyone to the forest to lead the horses out. The group got on their horses and galloped along the mountain road, leaving behind a cloud of dust and the sound of horse hooves that echoed in the valley. After a while, calm was restored in the mountains.
.
The group of people galloped along the mountain road down the hillside and quickly crossed two mountain passes. Among the mountains in front, a mountain city appeared at the bottom of the hillside. The group arrived at the west gate of the city at high speed. The defenders at the head of the city were obviously very familiar with everyone.
, all bowed their hands and saluted, and without asking any questions, they allowed everyone to rush into the city gate with the two characters "Anlu" engraved on it.
This is Anlu City, Anlu Prefecture, Hubei Province, which is under the jurisdiction of the Huguang Chief Envoy. It is a small city with a population of less than 50,000.
The most famous family here is the Xingwang Mansion of Xingwang Zhu Youtang. Xingwang Zhu Youtang was the fourth son of Emperor Xianzong and the half-brother of Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang. In the 23rd year of Chenghua, he was granted the title of Prince Xing

The young man who shot deer before was Zhu Houcong, the eldest son of Xingwang Zhu Youjuan. Zhu Houcong was actually Zhu Youjuan's second son, because Zhu Youjuan's eldest son died at birth.
This young man who was shooting deer in the mountains did not know until this moment that he had been chosen by God to become the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
