Geng Mansion...

Geng Nanzhong was quite aware of the pros and cons of the reception in the morning.

He has been an official in the court for so many years, although he is not the smartest one, but at least he is not the stupidest one. How could he not know that he took the initiative to admit his dereliction of duty?

But this is what he wanted.

At this time, he had just returned from Honglu Temple. As an official in charge of the reception work of the Ministry of Rites, it was normal for him to stay in Honglu Temple until now.

It's a pity that the line was connected, but the communication between the two parties was not pleasant.

Different from how I imagined that I could get a response from Wanyan Zonghan as long as I took the initiative to show my favor, the other party didn't care about his hints, and didn't even have the slightest intention of joining forces with him.

Geng Nanzhong could see that it was probably because the play in the morning had been performed too much, and it was cast to the blind man with a flirtatious look, which made the other party look down on him at all. Instead, he said to Yan Zonghan who scolded him In the end, Li Ruoshui, who was fainted by the anger, respected and cared a lot, and asked about the stroke on purpose, but he didn't care much about Geng Nanzhong, an 'idiot', treating him like a clown's play.

This made Geng Nanzhong so angry that his teeth itch.

What Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin... Isn't this, this fucking scumbag!
In the mansion, Wu Min and Tang Ke were waiting for his good news, but when they saw Geng Nanzhong returning with a gloomy face, their hearts skipped a beat.

Listening to his explanation of Wanyan Zonghan's attitude, both of them froze slightly. Before that, Tang Ke still felt that teaming up with Wanyan Zonghan to entrap Lin Chong was a bit treacherous and hesitant, but at this time he learned that Wanyan Zonghan had no intention of joining forces. Instead, he panicked a little.

In the officialdom, he is very aware of the threat to them from the crown prince and Lin Chong in the current political situation. If he really does nothing, it can be said that he is waiting for death slowly. Bearing the infamy of colluding with foreign races, he has to fight to the end, but now even this road that he didn't want to take is blocked.

I only heard Geng Nanzhong say: "Today's deliberate show of weakness is to let him feel our kindness, but who knows that he despises me... I have only one strategy after thinking about it."

"Brother Geng, don't try to be a fool, please speak quickly!"

"Tomorrow's field hunting, Wanyan Zonghan will definitely take the opportunity to show off his cavalry force and riding and shooting, so as to continue to suppress the face of the court, create psychological pressure on the court, and gain more initiative and voice for future negotiations, and we are here Stop him everywhere!"

"Intercept?" Both of them were slightly taken aback. Are they going to give up using Yan Zonghan to engage Lin Chong?

"This matter needs to fall on the two of you." Geng Nanzhong said with a smile: "Both of you were students of Cai Xiang, and you have a close relationship with the army. The crown prince ordered Lu and Cheng, two generals of the Mabu Army Division, to accompany him to Longevity Mountain, and the two should contact him immediately to arrange the field hunting tomorrow."

"Your Majesty and the prince are now worried that they will be humiliated by the golden man when they are hunting tomorrow. If we can achieve this, we will earn a lot of face in front of the prince and your majesty. How can such a great achievement be done?" Don’t take it? This is just one of them.”

"Secondly, Wanyan Zonghan has a very strong personality and is also extremely conceited. I think he is the kind of person who respects the strong and despises the weak. If he can block his intentions in the field hunting this time, it will make him look up. Only in this way can we have room to sit down and negotiate with him."

Wu Min and Tang Ke both smiled wryly when they heard this: "Although the idea is good, the golden man grew up on horseback, and his riding and shooting skills are unparalleled in the world, even the Liao people can't match it. They can be regarded as brave and good at fighting, but how can they be compared with these two people and their horse infantry commander? What preparations can be made for this, this, this? Even if they are prepared, it is useless! Besides, if there is really The miracle won, that is also the credit of Lu Cheng and the two, so what does it have to do with me..."

"The two of you are usually quick-witted people, why are you so dull today? Could it be that you are in chaos if you care about it?" Geng Nanzhong said with a smile: "Lu Cheng and his horse infantry commander are naturally not golden opponents. If they can really win, then they have to fight." What am I waiting for?"

The spirits of the two lifted slightly: "How?"

"Since it's field hunting, the contestant will not be a deadly target..." He moved closer to the two of them and lowered his voice: "We just need to do this, this and this..."

…………

Song Huizong has not been involved in political affairs for some time.

During this period of time, he took a pill sent by Lin Shuhang every three days, and then devoted himself to the practice of Xiao Zhoutian's mind method. This person is indeed quite savvy and talented. Unexpectedly, it has achieved a small effect, and the true energy can be concentrated in the chest, which is about the level of the sixth stage of Qi training.

Huizong felt that his strength had greatly increased and he was full of energy, and he had no doubts in Lin Shuhang's method of cultivating immortals ever since.

After receiving Yan Zonghan in the palace that day, Lin Chong personally entered the palace to invite him, otherwise he would not have come out. The reason why he did not finalize the negotiation date on the spot and other serious matters, and even asked the prince to accompany Yan Zonghan to hunt in the field. The trick is because he didn't think about it at all, even when he was having a banquet, what he thought about was the changes in the 64 hexagrams. When others said four or five words to him, he only reacted a few words That's all.

Therefore, he would not go to the field hunting today, and he only asked the prince to do it for him.

Longevity Mountain starts from the north of Bianjing. Lin Shuhang once visited it in modern times, and it has long since been transformed into a so-called martial arts city. There are various buildings and historic sites, but it has lost its original beauty.

But in the Northern Song Dynasty, Longevity Mountain was a standard royal garden. In the huge mountain forest, except for several layers of fences surrounding the whole mountain, there is no other eye-catching thing.

Except for large carnivores such as tigers, wolves, lions, and leopards, there are no other deer, rabbits, deer, sheep, pheasants, and animals. Song Huizong often came here to play, but he never hunted, only went to the mountains and rivers. Seeing rare animals, taking concubines to feed them for fun, and writing a poem when they are interested, so most of the animals here are not afraid of people. When they see people, they often come out to beg for food, which can be described as extremely simple.

There are steep mountains in front of you, and flat plains below, surrounded by greenery and forests, and the sound of waterfalls rolling down from the top of the mountain in the distance. , is really a refreshing leisure sanctuary.

But at this time, Longevity Mountain is full of murderous aura instead of the fairy spirit of the past.

The crown prince's test shooting is over. Since he practiced bow and horse when he was young, he has been training hard in secret for the past few days. Today, with his extraordinary performance, he actually shot two deer, three rabbits and one deer in a row. Compared with Wanyan Zonghan next to him, he didn't lose. How much you go up is the big stone in your heart.

He and Wanyan Zonghan led all the officials to rest beside the temporary shed. Several generals under Wanyan Zonghan were delighted to see Lie Xin, and they volunteered to invite Ying and wanted to shoot Lie. Wanyan Zonghan asked Zhao Heng, and the prince naturally had no reason to refuse the guests , As a result, this promise led to a dispute.

First, Wanyan Zonghan proposed that both sides choose a hundred archers, and each hold red and blue arrows to compete to see who can shoot more.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Heng had expected the opponent's move a long time ago.

He really wanted to compete with the Jinren in this respect, and defeat Yan Zonghan's arrogance, but after all, the Jinren grew up on horseback since childhood, and they are more proficient in riding and shooting than the Liao people. The company's training is considered diligent, but it is definitely not as good as compared with it.

But after all, if Wanyan Zonghan is looking for trouble, even if he refuses this one, there must be another one. Why don't he just let him save face, it's just Tian She, and Ma Junsi is very familiar with the terrain of Longevity Mountain. It shouldn't be too ugly to lose, so it saves a lot of trouble.

Coupled with the wink hinted by Geng Nanzhong next to him, he thought that he was prepared to win with little loss, so he reluctantly agreed and ordered the commander of the land transportation of the horse army to select a hundred elite riders to go out.

It was expected that the riding and shooting skills of Song and Jin were very different, and that the Song Dynasty would definitely lose this battle, but I didn't expect that after half an hour, when the two sides piled up their respective prey, they discovered that Song Ying actually Victory by a margin.

On the Songying side, a hundred people shot and killed a total of 270 six rabbits, 180 three sheep, more than 400 roe deer, [-] deer, several foxes and bobcats, and more than a hundred pheasants and animals of all kinds. , a total of over five hundred, surpassing the more than [-] prey of the Jinren.

But seeing the prey piled up like a mountain on the shed at this time, there are obviously more on Song Ying's side.

Lu Yun and his knights were a little proud, and it really surprised and delighted Zhao Heng. He couldn't help but secretly turned his head to look at Geng Nanzhong, but he saw a meaningful smile on the other side. Obviously, there was another reason for this victory.

... No matter what his reasons are, no matter what, Song Jun always won this round.

Zhao Heng felt elated for a moment. Because Geng Nanzhong sang against Lin Chong several times before, he gradually lost patience with Geng Nanzhong, and even became more and more annoying, but at this moment he suddenly felt that Geng Nanzhong was pleasing to the eye again.

He laughed and said: "The generalissimo's subordinates are also extremely brave. They only lost more than 20 dogs, and less than one of them. The strength of the two sides is extremely close! And after all, my Song army is hunting in front of our own house, and the terrain is stronger than the generalissimo's subordinates." I will understand better, so it will be considered a tie! Come, all the soldiers participating in the field hunting will be rewarded with [-] taels of silver and a piece of brocade!"

Such an open and secret victory, and giving the other party a step down, is really the best script in Zhao Heng's mind, but he didn't expect that Yan Zonghan didn't speak up, just smiled, and then he heard someone roaring from the golden cavalry below He shouted: "I don't accept it!"

The originally lively and harmonious scene suddenly cooled down and became completely silent.

Wanyan Zonghan said with a smile at this time: "Hu Boer, how can you yell in front of the nobleman? Besides, victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. When did the golden man become like you? ?”

When the words fell, I saw a strong man in the golden cavalry team got off his horse, came out in a crowd, knelt down and bowed below Wanyan Zonghan and said: "The people of Song Dynasty are very bad at riding and shooting. How can such a skill be better than us? I suspect that there is something wrong with these prey!"

Zhao Heng smiled slightly, winning or losing, relying on deceitful words can't be true, he didn't order anyone to do such a thing, he just took what this person said was a joke.

Sure enough, before Zhao Heng could speak, Wanyan Zonghan had already said for him: "Huboer, a man on Xiongshan Mountain, you must speak without evidence!"

"I have evidence! Show it to you!"

Nahu Boer strode to the front of the stage, reaching out his hand to look over the pile of prey in the Song camp, the face of the land transport commander changed slightly, and motioned to the guards beside him, immediately two cavalrymen from the Song camp intercepted them, stretched out their hands to press He grabbed his shoulder and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! This is our prey!"

"Get off!"

That Hu Boer was born with supernatural power, he swung his arms and sent the two of them flying.

Song Jun behind was furious, and rushed out several people one after another, but before he could get close, Zhao Heng stopped him and said, "Let him turn over!"

The name of the prince cannot be violated, Lu Yun's face was extremely ugly, and in the next second, he saw that Hu Boer had caught something in the pile of prey, and he pulled it out forcefully.

The prey piled on top rolled down one after another and scattered all over the ground, but Huboer didn't care about it, and only held up the things he caught in his hands.

At first glance, I saw that it was a hare, a sharp red arrow shot through its body, it seemed normal, but after a closer look, I found that the hare was already a little stiff, and the arrow hole The blood scab has solidified and is purple-red.

What's more obvious is that this 'wild rabbit' is bloated and fat. People who hunt all the year round can tell at a glance that it was bred, not wild. There are quite a few people who catch rabbits. If this rabbit is really wild and grows so fat, I don't know how many times it has been eaten, and the grass on the grave will grow tall.

"It takes less than three sticks of incense for everyone to shoot, but this rabbit was shot right from the start. In just three sticks of incense, the wound won't be blood clotted!" Hu Boer said while patting the rabbit vigorously. , seeing the twisting arc of its body when it was slapped, it was obviously too stiff for a fresh prey, he laughed and said: "Even the body is so hard, this is not the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month! The rabbit can grow so fat, hahaha, the prey of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid it is really different from the normal ones!"

Needless to say, the death time of this rabbit is obviously not within the three sticks of incense, and hares are generally impossible to be fat, and spring hares that have just experienced the cold winter months are even less likely to be so fat, because the grass in spring is green and yellow, and the rabbits in summer Busy running for their lives, only the rabbits in autumn are rich in aquatic plants, and in order to store up fat for winter, it is possible to gain weight.

Obviously, this is a domestic rabbit, or the kind of meat rabbit that is specially bred to eat.

Those golden cavalry who lost all laughed at this time. At this time, the golden people have not yet been Sinicized. Although the upper class nobles such as Wanyan Zonghan are already learning, they are like ordinary cavalry, etc. The concept of dignity, etiquette, etc. Concepts and so on are still very weak.

I felt a little unbelievable when I lost the shot hunting just now, and I was holding my breath. Now when Hu Boer explained the mystery, they all burst into laughter.

Some whistled, and some were eccentric: "Hahaha! If you can't compare, just admit defeat, go back and hone your skills, and then get back on the stage. Even a three-year-old Jurchen understands the truth, but this Song Dynasty person doesn't understand."

"It's not as good as a three-year-old baby, and you don't want to be ashamed, and you are talking about a state of etiquette."

"You have to rely on cheating to hunt. Even if you cheat, you can only beat thirty or so of us. If you throw them outside the pass, you will starve to death. Why are you still fighting with these pustules? No wonder they were suppressed by the Liao dog." Hundred years, hahahaha!"

Wanyan Zonghan talked in a tricky manner, but when these Jin soldiers made fun of others, they did whatever they wanted.

These words are embarrassing... Yes, if you can't compare, you can't compare. If you are a farming nation, what is there to be ashamed of losing to nomads in hunting?
This is also an acceptable failure that Zhao Heng had envisioned before. You just need to work hard and lose less, but who would have thought that these bastards actually cheated, and they did it so stupidly that people can see through it at a glance. ...

Zhao Heng was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while, but turned his head and glared at Geng Nanzhong and Lu Yun.

Geng Nanzhong was also furious.

When explaining the land transportation yesterday, he clearly told him to catch the live ones, put them in cages and hid them in the hunting ground, and then shot them temporarily today, but this idiot didn't listen to him?
Lu Yun's face was red and white.

Catch alive?Put it in a cage and hide it in the hunting ground?You fucking put it lightly...

The prince is not with me. Last night, the Imperial Forest Army patrolled the Long Live Mountain all night. How can I bring people in to poach?Of course, they can only be bought in the market, or they can only be bought by temporarily taking someone to smash the door of the rabbit meat and mutton shop and dragging the owner out of bed. Therefore, Song Ying shot and killed a lot of rabbits and sheep today.

As for those who put them in cages and hid them in Longevity Mountain to shoot them, there were more than 200 sheep and rabbits, baa baa baa, what kind of cages can they be used to hide in quietly, do you think there are more than 200 mice!
He secretly groaned in his heart, but he couldn't complain, and he didn't dare to look at Prince Zhao Heng's face.
