Volume 2, Chapter 340: Hunting in the Mountains

As soon as it got light, the horn sound of "woo woo" sounded in the camp.

"Get up!" Wulang climbed up and rubbed his eyes.

Erlang threw his riding attire to him, "Quick, get dressed, you're the only one who's gone."

Wulang took the clothes and put them on with his eyes closed, muttering: "You don't call me either."

Erlang helped him put it on, "Isn't this how you sleep? My fourth uncle didn't want to call you."

Wulang pushed his hand away and said seriously like a young adult: "I don't need your help to dress me. I'm nine years old."

"Who wants to care about you?" Erlang snorted disdainfully, turned around and took his belt, and arranged the hooks on it. He would hang the quiver, dagger, and medicine bag later. Seeing that Wulang had put on his robe, he put on the belt

Help him put it on.

Wulang lowered his head and buttoned his belt himself. Erlang took the dagger and hung the medicine bag for him.

Dongming Ziyu and Shuan Zhu came in carrying food boxes, "It's time to eat."

Dongshi followed behind and walked in, holding a hot water bottle in his hand, and poured some hot water into the washbasin, "Wash your hands, wash your face, we'll be leaving soon."

Wulang's eyes lit up, "Dad, do we want to go hunting with you?"

Dongming Ziyu felt refreshed, smiled and nodded, "The Emperor asked a few of us from the Hanlin Academy to accompany you to record the grand scene of the hunt. Follow me then, and be sure not to run around."

"Okay!" Wulang agreed happily, and he and Erlang happily washed their hands and faces together.

Dongming Ziyu took out the skin care cream and asked them to apply it. Seeing that Wulang's hair was still messy, he took out a comb, combed his hair into a bun and fastened the jade buttons. He was a very beautiful and elegant little boy.

The people in the host family are all good-looking. Wulang often eats food from space, which makes him whiter and tenderer. He has red lips and white teeth, delicate and majestic facial features, and big and bright obsidian eyes. He is a very spiritual child.

The emperor looked at it and praised him: "This child looks good."

Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. The younger one is Quanzi, the older one is the second son of Weichen's eldest brother's family, and the other two were hired by Weichen from the clan to help Weichen handle things. Weichen

I thought, let them come and see the world, since I don’t have any attendants to take with me.”

He did not evade, and frankly told the identities of Erlang and Wulang.

Officials who are not qualified to bring their family members can use their status as attendants to bring their nephews to the hunting grounds. This is an unwritten rule. But for someone like Dongming Ziyu, who said it openly in front of the emperor, it was

Rarely seen.

The emperor felt that the gentleman Dongming Ziyu was magnanimous, so he laughed and walked towards the altar with his hands behind his back.

Autumn hunting also has certain rituals, and the Ministry of Rites has already made all preparations. After the emperor takes his seat, he burns incense to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and dances the Nuo dance...

After a set of complicated rituals, the imperial guards released deer, rabbits, sheep and other prey. The emperor picked up the curved bow engraved with a golden dragon and shot the first arrow, hitting a stag in the middle.

Everyone praised the emperor loudly and praised the emperor with all kinds of different words of praise.

Then, the emperor got on his horse and led his entourage and ministers into the mountains and forests to hunt. The other men and women who did not know how to hunt on horseback each found the people they needed to make friends with to socialize.

Because it was close to noon, I wandered around the edge of the forest in the morning, shot a few rabbits, pheasants and the like and came back. I didn’t go deep in the afternoon and shot some common prey, large and small. In the evening, we had a bonfire.

The banquet was shared, and there were songs and dances to add to the fun. The emperor and his ministers had fun together, and it was very lively.

The emperor was very interested and decided to go into the mountains to hunt big game the next day. He asked his entourage to prepare salt, flint and other materials, hunt the game, and have a barbecue in the mountains at noon. If he couldn't catch the game, he would go hungry.

In order to prevent everyone from returning empty-handed, many artificially bred rabbits, goats, deer, roe deer and other animals have been released in the mountain forests. If you want to hunt real wild animals, you have to go deep into the mountains.

Dongming Ziyu took Erlang, Silang, Shuan Zhu and Dongshi to follow the emperor's team. The emperor was surrounded by personal guards, imperial guards, princes and ministers of the first and second grades. An official like Dongming Ziyu could not do anything at all.

I can't get close to the emperor, so I know I can follow the team.

At first, everyone rode on horseback, but when they really entered the mountains, there was no road, so they abandoned their horses and started walking.

Dongming Ziyu and several other people had crossed mountains and ridges when they were fleeing the famine. There were hills behind Nanbeixi Village, so they were very relaxed.

Gu Ran was originally in the front with Marquis Nan An, but he felt he couldn't let go among the giants, so he told Marquis Nan An and quietly dropped to the back of the queue.

Erlang said: "Why are you here?"

Gu Ran looked at the branches blocking the road with his sword and said: "It's boring to follow them. I can't let go."

There was a wild boar in front of him, but when he saw so many people from a distance, he ran away.
