After the chat ended, it was almost noon. The students came back one after another, and very few of them caught prey. Seeing that everyone was dejected, Li Shimin asked why. Li Chengqian told the rules set by Li Mu, and Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this.
With a roar, ten cavalrymen came out from the Xuanjia Forbidden Army. Li Shimin also got on his horse, took the bow and arrows from Eunuch Gao, and only took ten arrows, and said to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, let you see my father's cavalry shooting.
Mount your horse and follow me!"
Li Chengqian was so excited that he quickly climbed onto the horse. Li Shimin waved his hand, and ten black-armored horses galloped wildly. The hoofs of the horses galloped, and the birds and beasts in the forest were frightened. Some birds flew in the sky, and some animals neighed in the forest. Li Shimin
He bent his bow and set his arrows, and the arrows shot out one after another quickly like meteors. Birds kept falling from the sky, and the parts they saw were all eyes, which was breathtaking.
Li Mu had seen Turkic cavalry and archery in the grassland, but none of his elite men could reach the level of Li Shimin. It can be seen that the records of his bravery in history books are no lie.
Not only him, but also the ten cavalrymen who hunted with him were all good players. Although they were not as good as Li Shimin, they could at least hit seven out of ten arrows. There were prey everywhere.
No wonder the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty in this era were invincible and indeed powerful. Looking at the past and present dynasties, they could keep up with the nomads in riding and shooting. The only ones who did not fall behind were the Han and Tang Dynasties. Since the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry in the Central Plains has never been better.
Never caught up.
At first, Li Chengqian could still follow Li Shimin on horseback, but not long after, after Li Shimin started to 'play', he couldn't keep up even if he wanted to, so he had to return to Li Mu angrily. Li Mu watched Li Shimin galloping, riding on the back of his horse.
He used all kinds of "unique skills" and thought to himself, "How come His Majesty has such a strong desire to show off?" Looking at his appearance at this time, if he said he didn't show off deliberately, it would be unbelievable to beat Li Mu to death.
Li Chengqian jumped off the horse, sighed, and said: "Brother, you just said that I am still not convinced, but now I am completely convinced. The gap between me and my father is as big as clouds and mud. It seems that I will never be a big man in this life."
General."
"Why are you discouraged?" Li Mu encouraged: "Your father has been able to ride and shoot since he was a child. He didn't lead the army until he was fifteen. You are twelve years old this year and there are still three years left. If you
Try your best to do it, but the result is not yet known. If you get discouraged now, you may not be able to achieve it."
"Can I really..." Li Chengqian murmured, and judging by his tone, he sounded very unsure.
"Of course you can." Before Li Mu could finish his words, he heard a shrill cry from the forest: "Help! There is a bear, it's killing people, it's going to kill people!"
Everyone looked over and saw a big fat man jumping out of the forest. His clothes had been scratched, and his white and tender fat was leaking out, and there were already scratches. The big fat man ran very fast, at an astonishing speed.
Li Mu's visual inspection showed that the little donkey couldn't run as fast as him, which was really surprising.
"Help! Help!!" The big fat man saw the person and hurriedly turned around and ran over quickly. Only then did everyone see clearly that there was a bear following behind him. He didn't know what he had done to anger the bear and was attacked.
He ran so fast because of the pursuit.
"Protect the prince!"
At the critical moment, Kong Yingda's mind was still very clear. He yelled and stood in front of Li Chengqian, pushing Li Mu aside. Li Mu was so angry that he wanted to kick him. If you show your loyalty, you can show your loyalty. My life is not.
Is he dead? Should I be used as cannon fodder?
Soon after, the bear was already chasing him. It was so close that Li Mu could see clearly, this was not a bear, it was a panda!
"Panda?!" Li Mu was very excited. His biggest regret in his previous life was that he had never seen a living panda. He tried to find a chance to see it several times, but somehow missed it. He didn't expect to see a living panda after traveling through time. Then he thought about it.
It's normal to think that in the Tang Dynasty, pandas had not yet become protected animals. It was normal for there to be a few pandas near Chang'an, where pandas lived.
"Come here, what are you doing standing still? Take action quickly!"
"Don't hurt it!!"
Seeing Li Chongyi grabbing the giant ax and about to throw it, Li Mu hurriedly shouted. Although he knew that wild pandas are wild animals with amazing lethality, out of instinct, he still couldn't sit back and watch a panda die in front of him.
.
Kong Yingda's eyes almost popped out of his head and he shouted: "Li Mu, you are crazy! If you don't kill it, it will eat you!"
"You can't kill it either!" Li Mu roared. He was going crazy at Kong Yingda, but the Xuanjia guards brought by Li Shimin didn't care what he said. When they saw the bear running towards the prince, they all drew their bows and arrows and shot at the panda.
.
Although the panda has rough skin and thick flesh, it could not withstand such an intensive attack. It was quickly hit by several arrows, and the blood soaked the white part of the fur, which made people feel heartbroken.
Li Mu was so distressed that he couldn't help shouting: "Okay, it's injured and no longer a threat, don't kill it!" No one listened to him, out of instinctive fear of wild beasts, not just the guards,
Even the students looked for stones to throw at it.
"Run!" Li Mu shouted at the panda: "If you don't run, they will kill you!"
"Roar!!" The panda seemed to understand, and yelled unwillingly, rolling on the spot. The arrows stuck on it broke off one after another, and the fur on the panda's body shook, shaking off all the arrow clusters.
Although the wound is still bleeding, it seems to be fine.
"Roar!" The panda yelled at Li Mu again, glanced at the way it came, and ran away with great reluctance. The crowd chased him for a while, but the dense woods blocked the road, and he couldn't catch up, so he lost track of him.
Li Shimin heard the sound and rode back, but the panda could no longer be seen.
"What kind of beast is it?" "Bear! Bear!" Changsun Chong was frightened and panicked: "A bear as big as an ox!"
"Bear?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at the others. Eunuch Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's a Pixiu."
"brave troops?"
"It's a panda!" Li Mu said seriously.
Li Shimin was confused and asked: "What is a panda, a cat?"
Kong Yingda glared at Li Mu and said: "Reporting to your majesty, this thing has many names. The "Book of Books" calls it "Pixiu", "Mao Shi" calls it "Bai Zhi", and "Historical Records" calls it an iron-eating beast. There are also some called Pixiu, which mostly grows in bamboo forests.
Among the dense mountains, it is not common around Chang'an." After a pause, Kong Yingda said again: "Just now this beast rushed towards the prince, but Zhuluhou wanted to spare its life, why is that, veteran!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "It's just a wild beast, why should I spare it?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. I just feel that I am destined to this beast and cannot bear to hurt it."
"What kind of reason is this?" Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't go into details. He looked at Changsun Chong and said, "Why are you here?"
Changsun Chong got up from the ground and saluted Li Shimin. After hesitating for a moment, he saluted Li Mu again and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to serve my mentor."
"Teacher?" Li Shimin suddenly understood and said, "I almost forgot, you became Li Mu as your teacher. Since you serve your mentor, why didn't you come with Li Mu?"
"I..." Changsun Chong opened his mouth and didn't know how to explain it. Li Mu knew the reason. Seeing his embarrassed look, he thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so he helped him out and said: "Your Majesty, my disciple's health is
Fatty, this time when I came to the suburbs, it was inconvenient for him to follow me, so I didn’t call him. I didn’t expect that this child was quite filial and followed me here myself.”
Changsun Chong felt very awkward when he heard Li Mu call him "child". In terms of age, he was still several years older than Li Mu. But there was no way, he had the title of master and apprentice, let alone teaching children, he just called him son.
He had to respond. Besides, Li Mu was here to relieve the siege. How could he dare to follow Li Mu's words without knowing what was right?
Master, don’t blame me.”
"Why is Qingque involved again?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask when he heard Changsun Chong mention his beloved son. His question made Changsun Chong's mind quicken. Oh, it turns out that His Majesty didn't know about the King of Yue.
Li Mu is pretending to pass on the imperial edict, how can I make it easy for you?
Thinking like this, Changsun Chong leaned closer to Li Shimin, and while peeking at Li Mu, he told everything about what happened in heaven and earth today. Li Mu knew that Changsun Chong was causing trouble, but he did not interrupt.
He had already had a good relationship with Li Shimin, and he was confident and not afraid of what Changsun Chong would say.
Sure enough, Li Shimin didn't think there was any problem after listening to Changsun Chong's words, and said: "This road construction matter involves money, food and manpower, and the affairs are complicated. There should be justice. The King of Yue is my son, and it is more appropriate to mediate.
However, I can trust him, and presumably your father should also trust Qingque, after all, he is Qingque's uncle."
"Ah" Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment, then he understood the words and hurriedly said: "That's natural, my father said so too, and it's also..." He noticed Li Mu's expression, and the smile on his face froze.
Li Shimin saw something and said: "Li Mu, you have accepted a good disciple. I am afraid that I don't know what you have done. You have told me everything in detail. Don't worry, no one can take away your credit. I can't
Remember it."
"I thank your Majesty." Li Mu thanked him and glanced at Changsun Chong: "I also think this apprentice is very good. I should teach him well."
Changsun Chong raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, not daring to look into Li Mu's eyes. "I have killed a lot of prey. Li Mu, don't make any rules. Make a fire on the spot and roast these prey to eat."
Even if it is a reward from me, everyone will have a good time eating and drinking. I haven’t hunted for a long time, so today is not enough fun, and the next day is free, so I need to call more people and exercise my muscles!"
"That's what your Majesty said." Li Mu responded, and everyone got busy working together, boiling water and removing hair. He brought fine fine salt, which is suitable for barbecues.
Li Mu was still thinking about the look in the panda's eyes, so he asked Dugu Jiu to respond and took Li Chongyi back along the path the panda had just come from. After walking about two to three hundred meters, he suddenly heard the sound of "嘤嘤嘤" and stopped.
After taking a closer look, I found a cub under a tree!
