From Flying Eagle Manor to the hunting ground, the group walked for about an hour and a half.【】
The hunting ground is located in the northwest of Flying Eagle Manor. It is a natural forest. The forest is surrounded on three sides by the high slopes of hills. Visitors only need to play drums and gongs, and then release hounds of all sizes into the forest.
The animals will be frightened and run out. At this time, the hunter only needs to chase and shoot on horseback outside the forest to hunt the prey.
It was past half hour and the sun was in full bloom.
In front of the woods, Gumoor was leading people to make final preparations for hunting.
Ji Ying leisurely chose a shady place, set up tables and chairs, laid out fruits, pastries and various delicacies, and even ordered her servants to set up a temporary stove aside to boil water and make tea.
While the servants were working, Ji Ying walked up to Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao and said, "Taoist Priest, Miss Mo Yu, if you are tired and thirsty from hunting later, come over and sit with me.
Fruits and vegetables are prepared, and tea will be available soon."
Jimo Qiao glanced at the table prepared by Ji Ying and said, "The eldest prince and concubine are still thoughtful."
Chai Yan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, eldest princess. If you get tired later, we will definitely go over and sit."
The implication is that if I am not tired, I will not pass.
Ji Ying nodded happily, then returned to sit under the shade of the tree.
Suddenly, Gumol's loud voice came over: "Blow the drum!"
"Dong, dong, dong, dong dong, dong dong dong..."
As the order came out, the drums began to sound louder and faster and faster.
Jimo Qiao was so excited by the sound of the drums that he immediately clenched his fists and said, "It's finally about to start. I'm so nervous..."
"Blow the sound!"
After the drum beat for a while, Gumol shouted again.
"call out!"
Soon, someone was seen shooting an arrow into the woods, and the sound followed the arrow as it flew away.
Only then did Chai Yan understand that the original meaning of "shooting dysprosium" was to shoot loud arrows, and "shooting dysprosium" meant shooting loud arrows.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Just when they realized it, two more loud arrows were fired from the crowd, each shooting in a different direction.
"Hound Team, attack!"
The next moment, Gumol issued another order, and this time it was the hunting dogs that attacked.
Chai Yan and the others thought they would just let the hounds in, but what they didn't expect was that the man leading the hounds also ran into the woods.
Looking at the majestic scene in front of him, Chai Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Isn't this battle a royal-level hunting?"
Gu Moor came over at this time and said to Chai Yan and the others: "Taoist Master, Miss Mo Yu, have you picked out a hunting bow? The prey will be out soon."
Jimo Qiao raised a relatively lightweight hunting bow in his hand and said, "I picked it up long ago."
Chai Yan, Cheng Jiu, and Yu Tie also showed their hunting bows, indicating that they were ready.
When Gumol saw it, he said: "Guys, you can get on your horse and get a good seat."
Jimo Qiao quickly got on the horse, then picked up the reins of the horse and galloped towards the east exit of the forest with his hunting bow on his back.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie were not behind, they both mounted their horses and headed towards the west exit of the forest.
Only Chai Yan got on the horse unhurriedly, then grabbed the horse's rein in one hand and the hunting bow in the other, and walked slowly to the seat to the east.
"Mr. Gu, come together!" Chai Yan did not forget to invite as he walked.
In fact, Gumoor had already been itching in his heart. If the eldest prince and concubine were not here, he would definitely agree without thinking. But now that the eldest prince and concubine is here, he must ask for instructions.
"Taoist Master, you go first, I will be there soon." Gu Moor responded, and then rushed to the side of the eldest prince and concubine.
Gumoor lowered his head and clasped his fists and said: "The eldest prince, the Taoist priest invited me to hunt together, but my subordinates dare not agree privately, so I came here to ask the eldest prince for instructions."
Ji Ying smiled very generously: "Why are you asking me about this? Aren't you here just for hunting? Go ahead and hunt more, don't lose the face of our Muyue people."
"Thank you, eldest princess, I will do my best." Gumol was very happy.
Then, Gumoor took his hunting bow and mounted his horse, galloping towards Chai Yan.
At this moment, several prey were driven out of the woods by hounds, including pheasants, hares, and one or two animals that could not be named.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie had been guarding there for a long time. When they saw the prey running out in all directions, they immediately drew their bows and nocked arrows, and shot the arrows.
Probably because they were not very skilled in horseback archery, both of them missed the first two arrows. Fortunately, Cheng Jiu was accurate with the third arrow and hit a hare that was running away in a hurry.
"ha!"
When Cheng Jiu saw that he finally hit the target, he couldn't help but cheered and cheered for himself.
Not to be outdone, Yu Tie shot several arrows in succession, and finally hit a pheasant with the fifth arrow.
Chai Yan saw the scene of the two shooting the prey from a distance and couldn't help but applaud.
At this time, Jimo Qiao on the other side also started shooting arrows.
"Look at me!" Jimo Qiao shouted, attracting Chai Yan's attention.
When Chai Yan turned around to look, Jimo Qiao had just targeted a prey, which was a muntjac that had just been expelled from the forest.
Jimo Qiao is indeed gifted in the use of long-range weapons. Not only did she draw the bow and set the arrow in one go, but her aiming time was also very short. She released the bowstring almost as soon as she took aim.
With a "swish", the arrow left the string and hit the fleeing muntjac, causing it to fall to the ground.
"Look, I hit it! Hahaha, I hit it." Jimo Qiao was elated and shouted happily.
Chai Yan said loudly: "Awesome!"
Ji Ying, who was in the distance, also saw Jimo Qiao's precise hit and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Miss Mo Yu's archery skills were so superb."
Gu Moor also rushed behind Chai Yan at this time. Seeing that everyone had fired their bows, he said: "Taoist Master, it's your turn!"
Chai Yan said with a smile: "Let's make an agreement first. If you miss the shot, you are not allowed to laugh at me."
"How could that be?" Gumoor had already started to laugh.
Chai Yan nocked an arrow, opened his bow, and then aimed and fired. The whole process was very smooth, but he didn't know whether the arrow hit a hare or a pheasant. It flew directly into the forest and disappeared without a trace.
"Well......"
Gu Moer really didn't expect this result. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Taoist Master, you are not used to this hunting bow yet. Just try a few more arrows."
Chai Yanxin said that you would really step down for me. Isn't this a question of whether you are suitable or not?
Encouraged by Gumoor, Chai Yan then tried three more arrows, but none of them could hit the fleeing gift, or even hit the nearby ones to cause a threat.
These arrows were all seen by Ji Ying from a distance, and she couldn't help laughing.
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't show my shame anymore, Mr. Gu, come on! I like to learn..."
Just at this time, a little wild boar ran out of the woods, running rampant and barking, which immediately attracted the attention of Gu Moor and Chai Yan.
Gumoor immediately took a stance, took aim with his bow, and shot an arrow, knocking the little wild boar cleanly to the ground.
"You can't tell, but it turns out that Mr. Gu is a master who has made great achievements at every step! I admire him..."
Chai Yan was not stingy with praise at all and gave Gumol thumbs up repeatedly.
Gumol was naturally happy to be complimented, but he still controlled his expression very well, showing a humble side.
In the following time, everyone started shooting freely.
Half an hour later, Chai Yan's prey count was still zero.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie have already captured four or five birds respectively.
Jimo Qiao and Gumol were about the same, Jimo Qiao shot twelve, Gumol slightly better with thirteen.
Seeing everyone gathered together, Gumol knew that they were tired for the time being, so he took out a bamboo whistle and blew it hard.
"Uu——!Uu——!Uu——!"
Gumoor blew three long bamboo whistles.
Soon, those who had entered the forest before came out one after another.
Gu Moor had already put away his bamboo whistle, indicating that everyone could dismount and rest for a while.
At the same time, Ji Ying also sent someone over to invite Chai Yan and the others, asking them to sit there and have tea and something to eat.
Chai Yan was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded and agreed to take everyone to the big table prepared by Ji Ying.
"Taoist Priest, why are you the only one returning empty-handed?" Ji Ying couldn't help teasing him as soon as she saw Chai Yan approaching.
Chai Yan smiled cheekily and said: "Haha, I'm ashamed, I'm really not my strong point in this area..."
