Chapter 273 Extra Title
Zhao Mingzhi stepped forward and advised: "Does it mean that as long as you are not afraid of killing pigs, you are a real man? If so, it would be too easy to be a real man - we are not in a hurry now, it is too late today, if we want to see the pigs, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, why not go back and rest, eat something, and come back tomorrow."
Zhao Hong was afraid of the blood on the ground, but he was reluctant to go back. He hesitated and said, "It's not that easy to find a wild boar. I probably won't see it tomorrow..."
Pei Yong was standing nearby. Hearing this, he said, "I heard that there are several broods of wild boars in the back mountain. Recently, they often come down the mountain to hurt people. People nearby have been unable to hunt them. Tomorrow, we will ask the master to bring hunting dogs and search the mountain for a day. If we can't find them tomorrow, we will continue the day after tomorrow until we find them. We can take this opportunity to get rid of the trouble for the locals so that these animals won't come down the mountain to hurt people again in the future."
Zhao Hong didn't respond at first, but he looked at Zhao Mingzhi unconsciously and asked, "If I come again tomorrow, will you be tired?"
Pei Yong also looked at Zhao Mingzhi when he saw her smiling and shaking her head, and then he said, "Your sister is also thinking about hunting another wild boar."
Zhao Hong was stunned when he heard the word "again". A hunter nearby kindly interrupted and said, "That wild boar on the ground is the one your sister hunted. Your sister and brother-in-law are amazing!"
As the man spoke, he pointed to the ground in the distance.
The two sides were far apart, and Zhao Hong didn't pay attention at first. He just saw many people gathered there. Now, when he heard the hunter say that, he couldn't help but walk closer to take a look. When he saw the pig being cut up by everyone, although he felt disgusted, he was even more surprised by its size. His eyes widened and he asked in a lost voice: "Sister, did you hunt this!"
Zhao Mingzhi hurriedly explained: "It's not just me who contributed, it was all thanks to my second brother's help..."
It just so happened that when she came, a hunter who was busy cutting up pork picked up a bunch of arrows from the ground and said with a smile, "Madam, we have taken all the arrows out of the pig - they are all your arrows, and we are returning them to you now."
Not only were there words engraved on the arrows used by Zhao Mingzhi, but the bow was also specially made, so its shape and size were also different from ordinary ones. Zhao Hong had been watching it since he was a child, so how could he not recognize it? His eyes widened even more.
Zhao Mingzhi could only thank him and asked his servants to help him collect the pig. When he turned around and saw his brother's admiring look, he didn't even have the energy to explain himself. He just accepted the situation and thought to himself: So, if I insist on saying that I hunted the pig, it seems that there is nothing wrong with that...
I just feel a little guilty.
When Wei Chengyan saw the wild boar on the ground, he was very surprised and asked, "You guys also hunted a wild boar? What else did you hunt?"
After saying this, he urged the people behind him to carry out the prey he and Zhao Hong had obtained so that they could compare the two sides.
Soon, two bags were dragged over and the contents were poured onto the ground - at least four or five pheasants, and five or six birds that Zhao Mingzhi didn't recognize, which were quite large and had long feathers, and finally the wild boar.
Seeing the pile of things laid out one by one on the ground, Wei Chengyan said with some regret: "I originally encountered a yellow leopard, but it ran too fast and hid well. The trees in the forest were dense, so it finally escaped. Otherwise, adding and subtracting, I could have brought back 700 to 800 kilograms of things today."
But before Zhao Mingzhi could say anything, a guard laughed and said, "Third Master, I'm afraid you've lost today - today the Madam hunted a wild boar, and the Master also hunted two big ones, which together weigh at least a thousand kilograms."
Wei Chengyan was stunned for a moment, so he simply walked over. When he saw the other two wild boars that had been gutted, he took a quick look and said, "Forget it, there's no need to weigh them anymore. Xiao Zhao, where did you find so many wild boars?"
When he found out that it was Zhao Mingzhi who discovered it by accident, although he knew there must be other reasons, he still admitted it honestly: "I admit defeat today, let's see if we can compete again tomorrow!"
As it was getting late, everyone didn't delay any longer. After a short rest, they packed up and started to return.
The group returned to the farm. Zhao Hong had vomited again on the way and had no appetite, especially when he saw meat in the evening. Maybe it was because he thought about the wild boar's brains and rotten bone marrow, but he couldn't eat it at all. Although he was hungry, he just picked up other things to eat.
That night, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, but Wei Chengyan went straight to the stable, brushed the fur and hooves of his "Little Black", and cultivated their relationship.
Zhao Mingzhi set out early this morning and returned after dark. Not only had she climbed the mountain for a whole day, but she also used all her strength to shoot the wild boar. She didn't feel it at the time, but after washing up and lying on the bed, she felt sore all over her body, especially her old shoulder injury which was starting to flare up again. Although it didn't hurt a lot, she was still uncomfortable. However, she felt that she was fine and didn't want to worry Pei Yong, so she didn't say anything.
The next morning, Zhao Mingzhi was awakened by the noise outside.
Although the walls of the houses in this farmhouse were thick, the windows were only covered with a thin layer of paper. In a daze, she seemed to hear her brother's voice and Mo Xiang's whispered reply, but she was so sleepy that it took her a long time to wake up. When she opened her eyes and lifted the curtain, she found that it was already bright in the room. Even with two layers of window paper, a large piece of pale yellow sunlight was reflected on the ground. Looking at the clepsydra in the corner, it was already noon.
Zhao Mingzhi was startled and quickly turned over. When he looked back, Pei Yong was no longer beside him. He quickly rang the bell and called "Mo Xiang" again.
Mo Xiang waited a while before entering the room, smiling and saying, "Your Highness, are you awake? The consort asked someone to make chicken soup and thick porridge outside, and asked the old man at the white counter in the farm to make a lot of hawthorn buns, red bean buns, and jujube paste buns. There was also flour, and ginger sugar water was boiled. Although it's not very delicate, it smells very good - Is your Highness hungry? What do you want to eat? Do you want to eat something before going to sleep, or get up now?"
Zhao Mingzhi slept for a whole night and half a day. She didn't feel anything when she was asleep. When she woke up, she was already exhausted. However, she didn't care about her hunger. She shook her head and said, "I told Hong'er last night that we would set out at the beginning of the morning. Now it's noon - is he up? Is he waiting anxiously? Where is the prince consort? Why didn't he call me?"
She asked repeatedly, but Mo Xiang was not in a hurry at all. She just laughed and said, "The prince consort got up before dawn and said that Your Majesty was frightened yesterday and must not have slept well. He sent someone to report and went to Your Majesty's courtyard. I heard from them that they had packed up and left at the beginning of the morning hour. Because the prince consort said that Your Majesty was weak and tired after a day, he asked you to have a good sleep to replenish your energy. He specifically asked us not to disturb you or report."
Zhao Mingzhi was stunned and wanted to ask more questions, but Mo Xiang smiled and said, "They have all come back. They hunted a big pig. It was said that Your Majesty hunted it personally. There was a yellow-headed arrow stuck in its eye! There were also seven or eight fish that were brought from who knows where. The big one was two feet long, and the small one was also a foot long. The Emperor just brought a fish to the door, wanting Your Highness to take a look. That stupid fish splashed water all over my hand!"
This situation was completely beyond Zhao Mingzhi's expectations. He was a little confused for a moment. After a while, he remembered to ask, "Am I the only one who didn't get up?"
Mo Xiang said with a smile, "Officer Wei hasn't gotten up either. He just got up half an hour earlier than Your Highness and is making a fuss outside right now. He said that he must go into the mountains with Your Majesty tomorrow and hunt a big boar, otherwise he, the third brother, will be humiliated by the prince consort." As they were talking, they heard a light knock on the door. The little maid hurried to open the door. Not long after, Pei Yong came in. Seeing Zhao Mingzhi half leaning on the bed and talking to Mo Xiang, he did not interrupt but took her outer robe from the side, went to the bed, and gently put the robe on her.
Mo Xiang shut up immediately and quickly retreated.
After the others left, Pei Yong said to Zhao Mingzhi, "I see that the old injury on your shoulder has not healed yet. This place is not like the city, and the underground dragon is just for show. Be careful not to catch a cold. If you really develop a chronic disease, it will be troublesome."
Zhao Mingzhi was still a little sleepy and hungry. He was only three-tenths alert and just wanted to be lazy, but didn't want to move. When he heard him talking, he felt a buzzing sound and responded with "um" and "ah". He leaned on him and called him "Second Brother". He mumbled that he didn't want to get up and shouted that he was hungry, but he dragged him and wouldn't let him go. He behaved completely differently from his usual behavior and was very attached to him.
The two were in love, and Pei Yong's heart melted when he saw them. There was no need to say anything else. He lingered with her for a while, not asking anyone else to come in. He simply got a basin and towel and other things to help her wash. When he was about to go in to get food himself, he opened the door and saw Wang Shu and Mo Xiang standing outside like two stones, looking very embarrassed. They were all overjoyed to see him come out.
The prince hurriedly greeted Pei Yong first, then said, "Your Majesty asked me to come and ask whether the princess has woken up, and also to ask when the prince consort will arrive in the front hall."
As he spoke, he sighed inwardly.
It was neither early nor late, and there was no chance that the emperor would be in trouble. However, he had just returned from hunting and had caught a pig. He was just about to show it off in front of his sister, but because he had just gone into the mountains with Pei Yong, he didn't know why, but his attitude changed completely after he came back. Relying on the fact that he was outside the palace, he ignored the emperor's majesty and kept calling his brother-in-law "greater than him".
Just now I asked myself: "When my brother-in-law came back, he said that he would take me to practice archery and boxing when he had the chance. Now my sister hasn't gotten up yet, and Brother Wei San is busy eating. Isn't he free? Isn't this an opportunity? Go and ask him if it's possible now."
How could he, a eunuch, know whether it would work or not?
No matter how much Wang Shu complained in his heart about irrelevant things, the emperor was only young and he couldn't say anything else to him, so he had to come.

No matter how quietly the people outside were whispering, Zhao Mingzhi had already woken up, so she naturally heard some of it. She couldn't be lazy any longer, so she rang the bell to call Mo Xiang in. Since she didn't need to dress up properly, she simply tied her hair into a bun, changed her clothes, and went out of the yard with Pei Yong and the others.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the front hall, Zhao Hong had already moved a small chair and was waiting at the door. When he saw the two of them, he smiled before he said anything, and happily called them "sister and brother-in-law."
But in just one morning, he changed his words so quickly. Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help but feel puzzled, but didn't ask him on the spot. Instead, he touched his hand and said, "It's windy here, come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Zhao Hong shook his head repeatedly, but pointed to a place in the courtyard and said with his head held high: "Sister! Look at the wild boar my brother-in-law and I hunted - I shot nineteen arrows!"
He just pointed at the wild boar from a distance and asked Zhao Mingzhi to go and look, but he himself did not dare to look at it for too long.
Zhao Mingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and turned around to look. Sure enough, there was a big pig placed in the corner of the yard. The pig had been gutted and was lying on the oil paper in the shape of a "pig" character, with arrows all over its body.
The arrows had bright yellow arrowheads at the ends, and it was obvious that they belonged to my younger brother.
Her brother's archery skills were far inferior to hers. He could only hit six or seven out of ten targets within fifty steps. How could he hunt a wild boar?
However, her own experience yesterday made her understand the reason all of a sudden. She couldn't help but look at Pei Yong on the side, and then turned to look at Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong's ears turned red, he felt embarrassed and happy at the same time, he said shyly: "It was my brother-in-law who chased the wild boar to me, so I was able to hunt it..."
If Zhao Mingzhi had not experienced it personally yesterday, he would never have imagined how it was "chased" and what kind of "presence" it would be. But his brother hunted such a big wild boar with his own hands. No matter how close the chase was, he was able to calmly shoot nineteen arrows, which was also very worthy of boasting.
Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help laughing and kept praising him. After praising him, he said, "Then let's eat the wild boar hunted by our Hong'er today!"
Then he turned to look at Pei Yong, and said to him with a pair of smiling eyes: "Second brother, how about eating pork today?"
Pei Yong would naturally agree, but he also reminded her: "The fish we caught today were also caught by Hong'er."
Zhao Hong wanted to talk about the fish, but was afraid of appearing too arrogant. When he heard Pei Yong help mention it, he immediately said, "Sister, my brother-in-law and I caught a lot of big fish! There was a two-foot-long one that was still alive and kicking all the way back. I wanted to show it to you..."
He paused, then continued, "I saw you were asleep, so I asked someone to put you in a jar. I don't know if you are still alive now."
Several people walked into the house while talking. Zhao Hong almost never stopped talking all the way. He kept gesturing to Zhao Mingzhi, and he was almost dancing with joy. He first explained how he and Pei Yong went to find the wild boar in the morning, and then how the boar hid, how they ambushed, how they got close, and finally how they hunted it, how he shot the arrow, and how Pei Yong used the arrow to drive the boar in front of him, and how he broke the ice and how he caught the fish. He looked excited and happy. When he talked about the places, he turned around and found Pei Yong to verify the details with him, and asked him if he was right. He was very happy.
Pei Yong also smiled and said, "You two both have excellent eyesight and very accurate archery skills. The most important thing is that you are both focused and not easily frightened by external things. This is more important than other talents. As long as Hong'er practices diligently, in time, your archery skills will surely be perfected, and it will be no problem to shoot an arrow through a willow tree from a hundred paces away."
Since becoming the emperor, Zhao Hong has gradually developed a suspicious character. If someone else said this, he would never believe it. He would probably think it was flattery. But when it came from Pei Yong's mouth, and with the blessing of what he saw and heard during the hunting today, he inexplicably believed it and hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, you said this morning that you would take me to practice boxing today!"
