I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 148 Please Witness My Shooting Skills

"Jin State is now dominated by the Zhi Clan, but Xi Zhishen's character is weak. He is as strong as the Zhi Clan and has no intention of forcing the Zhao Clan. If there is no chaos in the Jin State, the princes will be difficult to deal with. It is the best policy to promote internal strife. However, Zhao Dare to act, Zhishi back down?"

Dou Huai is the deputy envoy of the Chu State Mission this time.

The Dou family is a family with a long history in the Chu State. Their first patriarch is actually the Duke of Chu. So far, because of the relationship of many generations, even though they are still a member of the Duke of Chu, the blood relationship is Too far apart.

In addition, the Dou Clan used to be extremely glorious, and then the glory ended in a civil strife in Chu State. Without the protection of the King of Chu, it would be swept into the historical trash.

During the stage of Jin and Chu's struggle for hegemony, Chu's Dou, Cheng, Ruo, and Xie clans all had a very prosperous and prosperous life.

At the current stage, the Cheng and Xie clans have disappeared, and the Luo clan is still struggling, but the Dou clan, which was almost extinct at one time, has regained its strength.

As for Qu, Jing, and Zhao?At present, there are Qu family and Jing family, but the current strength of the two families is average, and the Zhao family will not appear until the current king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, passes away.

The official envoy of Chu State is Gong Zilu, he is the youngest son of the current King of Chu State, he proposed to come to Jin State and spread various speeches, and let Dou Huai carry out.

"The state of Jin is not in chaos, so I will not fight with it." Gong Zilu said.

After the "Alliance of Soldiers", it's not that the state of Chu has no intention of competing with the state of Jin, but compared with the previous large-scale battles almost every year, the war between the two countries can only be said to be a small fight.

Dou Huai thought to himself: "Who says it's not? The united state of Jin is the most terrifying. In the past, the state of Chu had a difficult time dealing with it, let alone the current state of weakness, and there is still the state of Wu coveting in the southeast."

"If there are no accidents, the Fan family will surely be defeated. The Fan family and I are just using it to make things difficult for Zheng, Fan and Jin." Dou Huai said.

This wave of Chu State is considered to be at the right time, and they have no intention of helping the Fan family and the Jin State at all.

What is the situation between Chu State and Zheng State?If it is a consensus not to start a series of wars with the Jin State, whether to form an alliance with the Zheng State is a fierce battle within the State of Chu.

All in all, the biggest enemy that Chu State must face at present is Wu State.The minds of the monarchs and ministers of Chu State were not trapped by the door, and they fought with Jin State again before solving the threat from Wu State.

"Zilu, what's the meaning of the invitation of the son of the Zhi family to hunt, whether to go or not?" Dou Huai really didn't understand why Zhiyao invited him to hunt together.

In fact, Gong Zilu didn't understand.

Although Chu State has been hostile to Jin State for a long time, there must be national enmity, and the families of the two sides also have friendship. Not only can they communicate with each other during the national war, but they will also talk about the past when they meet on the battlefield or other places.

The relationship between the Zhi family and the state of Chu is more complicated. Zhifu was once a prisoner of the state of Chu for several years.

At that time, Zhifu often chatted with the King of Chu, and was very appreciated by the King of Chu, and even made many friends in Chu.

In the era of Zhifu, the Zhi family still had frequent contacts with some families in the Chu state, and they still had contact in Zhiying's generation, but it was the turn of the Zhi family to be the master of the family, but it was broken.

There was no other way, Zhiying passed away before she had time to explain Zhibi's connections, which would definitely cause a disconnect in Zhishi's external contacts.

There is also a reason why the families in the state of Chu did not have contact with the Zhi family. At the beginning of Zhixuan’s ascension, he was protected by Zhongxing Wu. To a certain extent, Zhi’s foreign exchanges were also controlled by the Zhongxing family. Shi once or twice contacted but did not get a response, so it was not surprising that the two parties broke contact.

Therefore, there is no friendship between each other, and the retainers on Zhi's side, on behalf of Zhiyao, invited the Chu State envoys to hunt together, how could it not make Gong Zilu and Dou Huai feel puzzled.

"Or because of my words?" Dou Huai thinks that if that's the case, Zhiyao is quite interesting.

The young master Lu smiled and said: "When you are young, you will have brilliance, and you will have the ability to be arrogant."

Looking at it this way, they thought Zhiyao was young and frivolous?

The season has come to the first ten days of spring, and the recovery of all things is actually not the time for hunting. It is when all kinds of animals have fattened up, and when it is the turn of animals to estrus, hunting will stop.

Why do animals stop hunting during the rutting season?One is that people have long understood the principle of not being able to fish in a dry marsh, and the other is that animals are far more irritable during estrus than other times.

On a beautiful day, Gong Zilu and Dou Huai took a group of warriors out of the city, and when they arrived, they found that there were quite a few people invited.

"I've seen your son."

"I've seen the eldest son."

Gong Zilu is the son of the current king of Chu, and it is very correct to call him Gongzi, but he prefers to be called Zilu.

However, Zhiyao's title of "Zongzi" is actually the official name, because the Zhi family and the Zhongxing family merged, and the Xun family was the main family, and there were some small schools below. eldest son.

For example, Han Geng, Wei Ju and Zhao Wuxie can also be called the eldest sons because the Han family, Wei family and Zhao family also have their own Xiaozong.

If it were the masters of Xiaozong like Cheng Xiao and Fuguo, their sons could not be called Zongzi, because Cheng and Fu were the Xiaozong of Xun.

Gong Zilu is a little old, and he made a lot of achievements in his early years, so he got the prefix of "zi".

People with the prefix "zi" prefer to be called "hao" instead of their identity.

For example, people call Gongsun Qiao "Zi Chan", which is actually called "Hao", which means that some achievements of Gongsun Qiao have been recognized.

Many people were invited today, including some second generations of the Qing family, and some middle-class nobles of the Jin Kingdom and their descendants.

The envoys of the State of Chu were invited, and out of consideration of etiquette, the envoys of the State of Zheng must not be absent, and then the envoys of the Fan family must come.

Although it is the late Spring and Autumn Period, there have been many things that have broken the etiquette and music, but it is still in the stage of not going bad, and some etiquette that should be paid attention to as a nobleman still needs to be paid attention to.

"This is the eldest son of the Zhao family?" Gong Zilu saw Zhao Wuxie with obvious contempt in his eyes.

It's not that Gong Zilu despises the Zhao family, it's just that his status is naturally very repulsive to Zhao Yang's actions, and at the same time he looks down on Zhao Wuji who has obtained the position of the son of a concubine in terms of status.

In fact, except for the Qin State after the reform, the rest of the countries did not change their views on bloodlines and identity until they lost their country. Later, they relied on the prestige brought by bloodlines to stir up the situation and successfully buried the Qin Empire. It was just a victory. The fruit was picked by the old Liu family.

Because he looked down on Zhao Wuxie's relationship, Gong Zilu didn't pretend at all.

Gong Zilu greeted each other with Zhiyao first, and then gave Wei Ju and Han Geng the respect they deserved. He could even say a few words to Huyou, but he ignored Zhao Wujii the whole time.

Xiang Rong from the state of Zheng didn't dare to show off his son Lu's profile, so he didn't know who he should greet with a smile on his face.

Liu Yang, who came here on behalf of the Fan family, also ignored Zhao Wuxie.This is not difficult to understand, because Fan and Zhao are already immortal.

Zhao Wuxie who received that kind of treatment did not show the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Sometimes it is like that, it is probably the situation of "I am not embarrassed, but if I am embarrassed, I will be caught by others".

Later, Gong Zilu and Liu Yang were repeatedly glanced at with strange eyes. To be honest, I felt a little embarrassed in my heart.

"Let, take care of Zhao Wuxie more." Zhiyao ordered.

It is hard to say whether the despised Zhao Wuxie will do any irrational behavior.

The real worry is whether Liu Yang or the warriors from the Fan family will put cold arrows in Zhao Wuxie's back during the hunt.

Today's hunting activity was initiated by Zhiyao, and any accidents must be borne. Regardless of whether Zhao Wuxie or someone else had an accident, losing Zhi's face or the second, there must be more serious consequences to bear.

Yu Rang didn't want to protect Zhao Wuxie, so he still responded, "No!"

The hunting site is just outside "Xintian".

A lot of distinguished people were present, and everyone would bring enough warriors, counting at least three or four thousand in total.

Because there are really too many people participating in the hunt, the area involved must be enlarged to avoid competition for prey and further entanglements.

Zhiyao specially invited Gong Zilu, Xiang Rong, Liu Yang, and several other heirs of the Qing family to join him.

If there were no Wei Ju, Han Geng, Hu You and Zhao Wuxie, it would be difficult for Gong Zilu and others to guess that Zhiyao was going to say something private in private.

"I never thought that Zong Ziyao's shooting skills are so superb." Gong Zilu saw Zhiyao hitting every shot again and again, and expressed his admiration from the heart.

Each of them has more or less killed some prey, but whoever has the most is not Zhiyao, but Zhao Wuxie who has been doing his best.

In fact, Zhiyao quite understands why Zhao Wuxie has to work so hard, it's nothing more than the more people look down on him, the more he wants to slap those people in the face.

"Everyone have fun, why don't you set up another item by chance." Zhiyao did not use the wrong word, Qiaoli is a neutral word.

Gong Zilu looked interested and asked, "What do you do for fun?"

"In ancient times, there was an uncle who raised an uncle, and the uncles competed with each other, creating a good story. How can today's people make the predecessors beautiful?" Zhiyao said.

Yangshu is Yang Youji.

Uncle Dang is Pan Dang.

Their archery competition was recorded in history.

After hearing this, Young Master Lu raised his eyebrows, wondering if Zhiyao was looking for trouble.

Among the nobles nowadays, is there anyone who can't shoot arrows?There may be, but the vast majority of nobles know how to shoot arrows. If you practice hard, your accuracy will not be too bad.

They returned to camp and waited for the return of those who had gone hunting.

As soon as everyone heard that there was going to be an archery competition, and there were related prizes, and it was allowed to play games on gambling funds, they basically became interested.

After the official start, Zhiyao ordered people to fetch thumb-sized copper rings. Besides one ring, there were also small bells hanging on them, which were hung on the 120th, 150th, [-]th, [-]th and [-]th step respectively. , [-] steps away.

Everyone saw Zhiyao's arrangement, and some people also heard that Zhiyao mentioned Yang Youji and Pan Dang just now, and they became more interested.

"Since the eldest son is so elegant, why don't you shoot first?" Gong Zilu was actually very upset in his heart.

Zhiyao originally wanted to let some people perform first, but when she heard it, she said with a smile: "I will live up to my son's expectations."

Zhao Wuxie, who was standing beside him, kept staring at the copper ring hanging at about fifty paces, looking eager to try.

And Zhiyao was already picking out the bow and arrows, and posed for the bow and arrow amidst all the attention, and then there was a sound of the bowstring twitching, and the arrow shot out...
