Ninety-nine: blood stain

After the end of the summer, the remaining heat of summer gradually dissipated. It was the day of autumn hunting. The hunting fires had already burned the mountains and forests. The guards of Fengchen held up their flags and drove the beasts to the Nanshan Mountain, surrounding the three sides of the mountain, leaving only a gap in Shanyang.

In front of the military formation on the field, Emperor Dayong Li Yin was wearing a military uniform and rode a yellow horse, with a red leopard beside him. A few miles away, a sika deer was running past outside Yulin. Li Yin bent his bow and arrowed, and shot an arrow, and the arrow was missing, just rubbing the deer's tail and flew over. The sika deer was frightened and escaped, but Li Yin was not unhappy, but laughed. This arrow was not for hunting, but just to motivate the soldiers who drove their prey here. Just after the arrow disappeared in Yulin, the sound of bronze croakers sounded from all directions, and the military formation began to beat drums.

Above the white grass and among the ministers, Li Chan held a horned bow and looked into the distance. Li Peijie rode the Wuming Chaser from the west and called out a sir from afar. Li Chan snatched the horse. He saw that the ninth prince, who was originally quite scholarly, had two thorn tails inserted vertically on his crown.

"Your Highness has changed his outfit, he is so heroic."

Li Peijie's side was holding a fulin dog. He held a white falcon on his arm and approached him, "I'm just pretending. Although I'm wearing military uniform, I have only been to the hunting ground. My father has won so many battles at my age."

Li Chan faced the murderous aura in the west wind and looked ahead of the military formation from afar. The Emperor Dayong, who had just practiced the military formation under Chunming's sect in the morning, was not tired at all. He just took a bow and shot archery, and looked much braver than the young general. He withdrew his gaze and saw that Li Peijie's eyes showed the desire to make contributions on the battlefield that young people had, so he said, "I haven't fought a war, but it's much better than winning a battle."

"Mr. What I said is very good." Li Peijie teased Bai Fang and smiled: "Sometimes I have thought about fighting on the battlefield, but when I think of the miserable border, I have no thoughts. I am not afraid of being ridiculed and have no ambition. After all, sir, look at the prince. Although he is riding a horse in a military uniform, he looks very elegant. I think if there is any war, he will not be in charge of the army like his father."

The horse was a little restless, and Li Chan stroked its mane, "Your Highness was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, so it was normal for you to be good at martial arts." At this time, a general rode over from the side and laughed loudly: "If your Highness delays, you will be behind others!" The galloping horse brought a gust of wind and the laughter quickly left.

Li Peijie laughed, looked at the general riding away, remembering another heroic back, and sighed: "One of the descendants of the father, the second brother is the most similar to him."

Li Chan's body undulates slightly with the horse's back, and the clusters of white feathers exposed in the arrow pouch on his saddle swaying with the autumn wind. He asked, "Is King Yu so good at martial arts?"

Li Peijie sighed: "It's not an ordinary good martial arts. When he was still in Yujing, he hunted every year after hunting and worshiping the ancestral temples, most of the prey he caught."

The inferior prey in the field was sent to the kitchen, and the medium hospitality was used to entertain guests. Only the best could worship the ancestral temple. Li Chan said: "It seems that King Yu is good at martial arts."

Even if he only recalled the figure of King Yu, Li Peijie also showed a very admirable expression. Li Yin was not very concerned about the prince Wang Ji in the Six Kings' house. The prince lived alone in the Eastern Palace. King Yu was the eldest brother of him. "In the past, in the king's house, only the second brother practiced martial arts every day, no matter how sun and rain. At my age, he could draw with General Shence Army. He was the vassal of the vassal state. He personally led his troops to pacify the rebellion of Liu Jian in Yuzhou. Then Liu Jian was a master of Shenhua. He was forced to the city and fought against thousands of troops, and was finally killed by his second brother. I had also practiced martial arts with the second brother at the beginning, but unfortunately, he didn't even learn any skills." He looked west, and the short hill blocked the army where the prince was. "When I was young, I always thought that the second brother would inherit the throne, but later I realized that there was a son of destiny in the world."

Li Chan looked at the front of the military formation, thinking that the current emperor was not the son of destiny. The two of them walked around the low hill, and three yellow deer were drinking water beside the water siege in front. Li Peijie opened his bow and arrow, but shot in the air. The yellow deer straightened his neck and ran away for a moment, spread his hooves. Li Peijie raised his arm and pointed at the yellow deer, shouted "Go", and the white falcon flew in response. He hurriedly stepped forward, released the forest dog, and wrapped it to the side.

The horse neighed and the dog barked with the loud cry of the falcon in the wind, driving away the yellow muskies. The yellow muskies were in a panic and gradually were driven back to the front. Li Peijie rode a horse and shot arrows twice, and couldn't help but scold the west wind to disturb people. Fortunately, the yellow muskies were getting closer and closer, and the third arrow shot out, and finally it was accurate. Another eagle cry came from mid-air. A black feathered and white beak snow nodded unexpectedly and swooped over, which made the yellow muskies stagger and ran to the east. The arrow shot in the air, and Li Pei was so excited that he was "happy". Then, another white-feathered arrow came from the east and suddenly penetrated into the yellow muskies' neck. The arrow lost its strength, which made the yellow muskies fall to the ground. After a few rounds, he fluttered hard to stand up, but he quickly exhausted his strength, and finally straightened his four legs and stopped moving.

When Li Peijie was stunned, several horses rushed over automatically. Wang Xiaogong, the leader, held a strong bow and said loudly from afar: "I thought it was a bossless deer, but I didn't notice it for a while, and I snatched His Highness's prey and offended him!"

The person in the distance rode a horse and brought the dog back, and Li Peijie said, "It turned out to be Mr. Wang. He snatched my prey and would have to pay ten times the prey."

Wang Xiaogong said: "If you want my prey, it depends on your highness's ability. Whether you can snatch it or not."

"Oh?" Li Peijie smiled and said, "Sir Wang cannot use magical powers, otherwise I can't get it."

"Why use a cattle knife to kill a chicken?" Wang Xiaogong laughed loudly, shook his head, and asked the servant to carry the yellow deer to the horse's back and rode his horse to the west. Li Peijie said to Li Chan and said no to him and followed him.

Li Chan watched the two groups leave, drove their horses to trot along the field, and there were several swamps embedded among the vast white grass. The soldiers and generals in the distance practiced the battle formation by hunting. The flags of the Northern Ya Imperial Guard floated to the west, the Jinwu Guard to the north, and the Fengchen Guard to the east, and the Fengchen Guard, horse hooves, war drums, and horns, which shocked groups of water birds.

This field hunting is so popular that Li Chan has not left Yujing City for a long time. Looking into the distance, he feels suddenly feeling. Today, all the people who participated in the autumn hunting use all their strengths, hoping to hunt high-quality goods to offer them to the king, but he only plans to hunt a few wild game to satisfy the monsters at home. The horse's hooves stepped through the shallow water of the long grass, passed Yulin, and went to the east of the southern Shandong.

In the wilderness, among the fleeing groups of beasts driven by the army, several wild boars were panicked and left the group of beasts. Naturally, these sporadic prey were not taken seriously by the army.

Li Chan watched from a distance and saw the wild boar running into the forest. She followed slowly on her horse, and was far behind. She passed by a piece of Yulin. She met Jiang Ru who was passing by with her family.

When Jiang Ru saw Li Chan, she greeted him: "Why did Li Lang only bring a bow and arrow? I'm afraid it's inconvenient to hunt."

Li Chan said: "I don't have the skill of raising eagles and raising dogs."

Jiang Ru said: "Why do you need a hawk or dog? Snow Lion Lord?"

Li Chan said: "If the Snow Lion Jun comes, he is afraid that he will get his prey and will enter his stomach first."

Jiang Ru couldn't help laughing and invited, "Why would Li Lang be better to come and hunt with me?"

"Thank you, my wife, for your kind invitation, but I only plan to hunt a few wild animals. Just go back to have a tooth sacrifice, but I won't be a burden." Li Chan politely declined and looked at the disappeared forest where the wild boar was in sight.

"Since Li Lang wants to walk alone, I won't disturb you." Jiang Ru smiled.

"Sister with me." Li Chan rode a horse and continued to track his prey. A young general led his troops to follow Jiang Ru's team. He watched Li Chan go to the west and took people to follow him.

After passing through a piece of Yulin, the wild boar finally stopped in the valley, paying attention to the movements around the world, but did not find Li Chan in the forest.

Li Chan pulled out the white feather arrow and put it on the string. With force, the bow opened into a full moon. The autumn wind blew by, and the arrow feathers bent slightly, and he turned the arrow to the east.

Just as his finger was about to let go, a sound of horse hooves ran from the side. The wild boar was frightened and fled. Li Chan was stunned and had to resign the bow. His eyes followed the direction of the wild boar's escape, and he was about to follow him. He looked for a good opportunity, but he saw a few more arrows coming through the forest and penetrated into the wild boar's eyes. The wild boar howled and died.

A young general led several knights out of the forest, as if he had just seen Li Chan, came over on horseback and said in surprise: "Is this Mr. Li from Qianyuan Academy?"

Although Li Chan didn't know the other party, she saw that his acting was a bit fake, and she couldn't help but feel confused, "Your Excellency, you."

"I am the chief general of the Zuoyi Prefecture of Chenwei. After passing by here, I saw those black pigs and shot them at random, but unexpectedly, Master Li was also here." The young Master Li smiled and said, "Mr. Li may have been following these black pigs for a long time."

Li Chan said: "I did follow me for a while, but I guess it's not longer than General Wang and I."

The young general of the Central Army was slightly stunned and laughed: "It's worthy of being Mr. Li. He is indeed not an ordinary person, but he doesn't look good at hunting." His eyes swept over Li Chan's horn bow and quiver, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take off a few black pigs."

Li Chan raised his eyebrows, "What do you think of General Wang?"

The young general of the Central Army said: "Does Mr. Li dare to compete with Mr. Wang? I will not take advantage of you. Since you don't have a hawk, you must have a flying sword."

Only then did Li Chan understand the other party's purpose. There were countless people in the Dayong Kingdom who wanted to challenge the Qianyuan Scholar and became famous. Naturally, he didn't have the leisure to deal with the provocation of the young rank general. He smiled slightly and refused, "Qiu Shou intended to speak martial arts. If I use a flying sword to deal with the wild boar, it will inevitably make me laugh if it is spread."

"Then I will be like Mr. Li losing."

The young general smiled proudly, turned his horse's head, took the wild boar away, and passed through Yulin again.

Jiang Ru loosened her tight bowstrings, and the white feathered arrows turned to the sky. A yellow swan that had passed through the autumn sky fell down. She found the rocks where the yellow swan had fallen, and got off the horse and picked it up.

With the sound of horse hooves, the young general of the Central Army rode his horse and smiled and said, "Although Mr. Li has magical powers, he is not satisfied with hunting. I heard that a strange beast fled into Yandangling. Sister is willing to go with me?" Wang Dingfang was the son of Wang Renyuan, the left general of Chen Guard. The young man practiced martial arts with Jiang Ru. He was often bullied. He once threatened to marry her. After being beaten, he changed his words to call his sister.

When Jiang Ru heard this, she realized that this guy was probably jealous of her invitation to Li Chan to hunt with her, so she went to steal the prey, shook her head and smiled, "What can you help me again, go by yourself!"

The young general of the Central Army was not angry when he was despised. "Then sister is optimistic. In less than an hour, I will bring the strange beast here!" After that, he whipped the horse Juechen away.

The retainers beside him watched the young General Lang go away, "It seems that General Wang has improved a lot of martial arts and can actually seize prey from Mr. Li."

Another person next to him laughed and said, "General Wang does have the ability, but it is mostly because Mr. Li had no intention of fighting with him. The young lady invited him just now, and Mr. Li also said that he only planned to hunt a few wild animals."

Jiang Ru looked west, and about two miles away, a figure riding alone in the forest. She smiled, "It's rare to encounter an autumn hunt. What's the point of hunting only a few wild animals? I ran away in vain." As she said that, she pulled out the yellow swan's body and lost the arrow, dipped the feathers of the swan's blood, took out a handkerchief and wrote some words.

Then, tie the veil to the arrow and shoot it to the west with a bow.

Li Chan did not take those wild boars to heart. There were countless wild birds and beasts in the calf and spring, and he fought with one horse, no matter how many prey he had, he could only bring hundreds of kilograms. He rode his horse through the woods.

A white feathered arrow passed through the fallen leaves in the forest, and suddenly penetrated into the trunk of the tree in front of him.

Li Chan was stunned and went forward to check. The white feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling. He took down the veil tied to the arrow, stretched it out, and saw the blood letter on it:

Hunting fires from thousands of mountains shine on the clear autumn, and flags on the Emperor's Hill for ten miles.

The ten thousand feet of Hongyuan is worthy of martial arts, and the murderous aura of soaring into the sky shocks the kings and princes.

The blood of the arrow is still hot, and the dragon spring in the bottom of the heart cannot be suppressed.

But I tried the horn bow to the tiger and leopard, and I hope you will ride the horse to the front.

He held the veil and looked east. Two miles away, the girl in white looked at him from afar, turned her head and left.
