Chapter 218 Fox Hunting in September(1/2)
Chapter 218 September Fox Hunting
Foxes in September and wolves in October. This means that the fox fur is the best in September and the wolf fur is the best in October. It is about to enter October, and Tang Yanyan and Chen Moer are hunting foxes on the grassland. Even if
It's October now, and they are still more interested in foxes. Women and foxes always have an indissoluble bond, but they are not very interested in wolves.
Tang Yanyan wore a samurai scarf in her hair, green silk arrow sleeves, two dark green horse skirts, high-waisted deerskin boots, a short knife on her waist, and a bow on her back.
Hu Jian, dressed as a man, has a dashing appearance. She is not a delicate lady who is unable to step out of the house. She rides a horse like an arrow, whizzes back and forth, gallops like lightning, and is not inferior to a man in the slightest.
But when it comes to riding and shooting skills, Tang Yanyan is far behind Chen Moer. She opened her bow and arrow, and shot the arrow quickly, but when the sharp arrow landed, it was two feet away from the fox with the big fiery red tail.
Not far away, the fox turned to glance at her, then got into the grass and fled.
"Hateful, really hateful!" Tang Yanyan shouted on the horse, and Chen Moer rode over with a smile and said: "Miss Tang, your riding skills are not inferior to mine at all, but the accuracy of the arrow is a bit worse, otherwise
This arrow just now will definitely hit that fox."
Tang Yanyan said bitterly: "It doesn't matter if the shot fails, but it actually laughed at me. It's really hateful."
Chen Moer said in surprise: "Who laughed at you?"
Tang Yanyan pointed at the direction in which the fiery red fox was escaping, and said angrily: "That's it. I shot the arrow in the air, and it turned back and glanced at me. It was obviously full of ridicule."
Chen Moer was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Tang Yanyan was twenty-eight years old, with a pretty little mouth, two eyes as warm and clear as springs, and a slim and graceful figure with smooth and graceful curves. She should be thick.
Thick in places, thin in places that should be thin, protruding in places that should be prominent, and concave in places that should be concave. It is charming and has begun to give birth to the charm of a woman, but her temperament is as delicate and naive as a child. This is exactly what she likes about Tang Yan.
In just three days, the two of them became good friends and talked about everything.
"How can a fox laugh at people? Hahaha, Miss Tang, you are too worried. You have done too little riding and shooting, and you are not familiar with the bow and horse. It is difficult to shoot the prey with your own hands while riding a horse. Come on, let's dismount.
"
Chen Moer straightened her back, jumped off the horse neatly, and said: "That fox won't escape too far. Let's catch up to it quietly and don't disturb it. It's close, and you will be able to hunt it with your own hands."
One."
Tang Yanyan turned his anger into joy, turned over and dismounted and said: "Okay, I don't believe you can't hunt a fox with your own hands. That fire fox is so beautiful, I want to use its fur to make him a fur collar. It's getting cold.
Then make a fur coat and give it to him."
"Yes, it's getting cold. It's October here and the first snow will fall." The two of them walked side by side. Chen Mo'er's eyes turned and he suddenly asked, "I thought you were going to hunt."
I killed this fox and took the fur for my own use, but it turned out that I was giving it away to others. Who... who is he?"
Tang Yanyan's face turned red, and he glared at her shyly, saying angrily: "You ask knowingly, don't you know?"
Chen Moer hid her stutter and stuttered, and Tang Yanyan snorted, suddenly hugged her shoulders affectionately, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"You and Ono Ke'er are going to get married soon, right?"
"Well, we were supposed to get married this spring, but we ended up at war with Xiazhou, so now we have to postpone it until next spring." Speaking of this, Chen Moer's face turned red and her eyes lit up.
Tang Yanyan chuckled: "He...when he was alone with you, did he...did he want to be very intimate with you?"
"ah?"
"That's it... that's it... make love. Don't tell me you don't understand. If you pretend you don't understand, I'm going to fall out."
Chen Moer laughed, then quickly covered her mouth, looked around guiltily, and replied in a low voice: "Men are all like that, how is it possible for them to be honest in front of women? You don't
Promise him, he will fight with you like a child, there is nothing you can do..."
"Ah!" Tang Yanyan's face turned even redder, and Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "You...then you agreed? How did he...get intimate with you?"
"Oh, why do you ask me everything?" Although Chen Moer was cheerful, she couldn't bear it at this time.
"Just tell me, there are no outsiders, I promise not to tell anyone."
Chen Moer covered her face, glanced at her secretly through her fingers, suddenly put down her hand and asked suspiciously: "Why do you care about such a thing? Well..., you and Mr. Yang's tents are next to each other, alone.
As a man and a woman, does it mean... that he often wants to be intimate with you at night?"
"No." Tang Yanyan couldn't bear it anymore and quickly clarified shyly.
Chen Moer turned her back on defense and asked, "It's no wonder that you Han men are supposed to be very polite, right? When he wants to be intimate with you, will he yell in a hurry?"
"No, no, really not," Tang Yanyan blushed to cover up: "It's not like you don't know these days. When Li Guangyan came, he sat there in a strange way. The heads of the various departments were a little afraid. In the past two days, they had followed
Like a headless fly, I will come to visit Yang Hao at one moment, visit Li Guangyan at another moment, or go to Mr. Su Ka to find out the news."
She snorted angrily: "I don't know how men can have so much to talk to each other. He is too busy dealing with those bosses now, so how can he have time to talk to me?"
Chen Mo'er also sighed: "Li Guangyan's majestic appearance makes people angry when they see him. Ono Ke'er has seen him bullying others these days, and he gets drunk as soon as he comes back. I won't listen to my advice. I
Seeing that Mr. Yang seems to be a little overwhelmed, today Mr. Suka invited various leaders to drink again. I heard Xiaoye Ke'er said that they just wanted to see the scenery, and if Mr. Yang really couldn't bear it, they would give up.
"
"No." Tang Yanyan immediately patted his chest and pledged: "Your Xiaoye Ke'er is a person who would rather bend than bend and suffer no loss at all. But Yang Hao is different. This man is wilted and bad. When he should suffer losses and surrender, he will definitely
He doesn’t resist, but sooner or later he will make those who took advantage of him pay back double the amount. Although I don’t know what he is busy doing these days, I just know that he is not that easy to bully.
Just wait and see."
She turned back and glanced in the direction of the tribe. She had already traveled more than twenty miles. Standing here, she could only see the undulating grassland like wheat waves, and could no longer see the shadow of the Yeli clan.
"When that stinky guy solves his worries, my 'worries' will come, right? Should I...should I agree to him then?"
Thinking of this, Tang Yanyan couldn't help but feel distraught. At this moment, she suddenly felt something hard hit her buttocks, and she was so frightened that she couldn't help but jump up with a scream: "Ah!"
When she turned around, she saw that it was Chen Moer who touched her with her bow. Tang Yanyan cried out guiltily: "What did you do? You scared me."
Chen Moer said innocently: "I'm telling you, I saw that fox."
Tang Yanyan hurriedly turned around and looked around: "Where is it? Where is it?"
Chen Moer said dryly: "I was scared away by your roar..."
At the invitation of the leaders of various ministries, Su Ka held another feast. The leaders wanted to know where Li Guangyan's bottom line was and what Yang Hao's countermeasures were. Nowadays, the wind is strong on Li Guangyan's side, but they are lured by profit, and the wallflowers are still there. Trying to hold on to the last strength of character.
Li Guangyan's humility when he just arrived at the Yeli tribe has completely disappeared. Su Ka's "weakness" and warm hospitality made him mistakenly believe that the Yeli tribe is also coveting the benefits brought to them by Luling Prefecture, so he and Yang Hao The relationship was very close, and the two parties were completely aligned with their interests. After he arrived, Su Ka was obviously more wary of him, which gave him confidence.
Li Guangyan, who knew what he was doing, started to act arrogantly. What was originally just an insinuation turned into a naked intimidation. However, Yang Hao's reaction disappointed everyone in the ministry. He always had a gentle smile and a warm spirit. Son, not only were the leaders of various departments greatly disappointed, but even Ono Keer's face was full of disdain and contempt.
Yang Hao seemed completely unaware of everyone's strange looks. Under Li Guangyan's tough attitude, he gave in step by step, and finally cautiously asked Li Guangyan for advice: "Master Li, Luling Prefecture was originally just a barren mountain. It suddenly moved. Tens of thousands of people came here, and it was hard to imagine how difficult it would be for them to settle down and start a business here. The officials sympathized with the people of Luzhou, so they exempted them from taxes, money and food for ten years. The lower officials invited the leaders of Hengshan tribes to come here. I hope that the blessings of the official family will benefit all the ministries, and invite all ministries to trade with Luling, and exempt all ministries from trade taxes. If this continues, industry and commerce will flourish. After 357 years, the people of Luling Prefecture will be able to gain a foothold. And the various tribes in Hengshan can also benefit from it, does Mr. Li think this strategy of lowering officials is feasible?"
Li Guangyan said bluntly: "Master Yang is too polite. Luling Prefecture is not under the jurisdiction of Yinzhou. Master Yang is the prefect of Luling. How do you manage the people of Luzhou and how do you teach them? Naturally, Li has no idea. Just say it. But..."
He changed his tone and said with a sinister smile: "Officials are exempted from taxes in Luzhou for ten years. You are exempt from taxes on merchants in Luzhou. Why should you be so generous to the officials and benefit the leaders?"
Just as Yang Hao was about to speak, Li Guangyan lowered his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, you must know that the various tribes in Hengshan have always had business dealings with our Yinzhou. Your Luling Prefecture is exempted from trade taxes, and merchants will If you act profitably, just like a shepherd living in pursuit of grass, you will inevitably buy and sell with Luzhou, so I, Yinzhou, will be destitute."
"Master Li, I'm going to lower my rank..."
Li Guangyan pressed his hand again, cut him off and said: "I, Li Guangyan, have 40,000 elite troops stationed in Yinzhou to resist the Huihe, resist the Khitan, and attack the Tibetans, so as to ensure that the tribes in Hengshan live and work in peace and contentment without being harmed. This is a great achievement. Hengzhou Although the tribes are not under the jurisdiction of our Yinzhou, our Yinzhou and Hengshan tribes are not without favors. Now that you are using the tax exemption to induce the Hengshan tribes to trade with you in Luling, our Yinzhou will be left aside. Officials are guarding the frontier, but the soldiers' pay, clothing, weapons, and war horses are all free of charge. But the imperial court will not allocate a single penny to me."
Yang Hao said with a smile: "The Li family has been in Yinzhou for at least a hundred years, and its foundation is so strong. The Hengshan tribes are in a barren area, and they are all suffering. Not to mention Luzhou, we are now poor and have nothing.
Ah, Master Li, how can I bear to compete with my Luzhou and Hengshan tribes for these petty profits?"
These words were really without any confidence, they were just soft words of begging. Ono Keer was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fire. She couldn't hold it back any longer. She suddenly stood up, turned around and walked out. Su Ka shouted: "You go.
where?"
Ono Ke'er stiffened his neck and replied: "I drank too much, it's convenient to go." After saying that, he walked out without looking back. Li Guangyan looked on coldly, and then scanned the different expressions of the people in the tent, and smiled slightly.
smile.
Xiao Shitou has been sitting quietly next to his father, gently cutting the mutton with a small knife, and eating very gracefully. At this time, he is just a child, and he can't see that he killed Rigude with an arrow and attacked Yang Hao.
At the camp, he had a sophisticated and scheming attitude that was befitting his age.
At this time, seeing Yang Hao retreating steadily under the oppression of his father, he already expressed his plea. He suddenly put down the knife, wiped his mouth, and said loudly: "Master Yang, what you said is wrong. If you don't hear it, you can't reach a thousand miles by taking small steps."
Without accumulating small streams, rivers and seas cannot be formed. Although Yinzhou has a strong foundation, it cannot rest on its laurels. What’s more, Mr. Yang only knows that Yinzhou has accumulated more than a hundred years of savings, but he doesn’t know that Yinzhou is fighting against foreign invaders and its daily consumption is
How huge.”
At such a young age, he had no shyness in talking in front of many adults. Li Guangyan seemed to love his son very much and was quite proud of his views. He smiled and took a sip of wine without stopping him.
. Xiao Shitou said proudly: "All the tribes in Hengshan are under the protection of my Yinzhou. My father protects Yinzhou, but it benefits more than just one Yinzhou."
"Jiqian, how can you interrupt what the adults are talking about?" Li Guangyan said with a smile, then turned to Yang Hao and said: "The child is rough by nature and doesn't know etiquette. I am busy with official business and have always neglected to discipline him, so Yang Hao
The adults are laughing."
"Jiqian? Li Jiqian? This name... sounds a bit familiar..." Yang Hao's heart moved and he looked at the little stone carefully. He only knew that he must have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember any of his later deeds.
. While thinking about it, he smiled and replied: "Master Li is too modest. Although Young Master Ling is young, he is both civilized and military, and his words are very resounding. He is really a tiger father and a tiger son. I don't know what you think of the adopted son.
What should we do?”
Xiao Shitou said proudly: "This matter has long been established. Why does Mr. Yang need to ask me?"
Yang Hao said in surprise: "What's the precedent? Why do I know nothing about it?"
Xiao Shitou pointed at Sukha with a sneer and said loudly: "Ask the people in Sukha and you will know how the tribes in the grasslands do it. Can't the tribes in Hengshan do the same?"
These words were a bit reckless. Li Guangyan's expression changed. He wanted to stop him but it was too late. The leaders sitting on both sides immediately became commotion after hearing these words. They were originally in the middle of the three forces and did not belong to any one.
They lived a carefree life. If it was true what Li Jiqian said, wouldn't they be brought under the jurisdiction of Li's family in disguise, just like other grassland tribes?
