Chapter 143 Zhang Ren’s Safari
Outside Chengdu.

Zhang Ren rode his white horse across the gap, holding a riding bow, and shuttled through the withered forests in the bleak autumn wind.

Yue Gap's snow-white hair is like silky and shiny satin. It steps forward unhurriedly, waiting for the owner on its back to find the hunting target and initiate a chase signal.

Zhang Ren's eyes were like those of a hawk, and he quickly located his prey in the forest, a yellow-haired fox.

The fox noticed Zhang Ren's murderous intention projected onto it. It quickened its pace and ran quickly, trying to stay away from Zhang Ren's sight, and even ran out of Zhang Ren's sight in order to have a chance of survival.

Zhang Ren, who looked a little gloomy, clamped his legs. After spending time with him, he seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation. He immediately spread his hooves, stopped his leisurely pace, flew his hooves, accelerated, and ran towards the direction of the fox. And go.

The short fox was naturally not as fast as the big horse from Liangzhou that jumped over the gap. In a moment, Zhang Ren, who was on the horseback, pulled out an arrow from his quiver, put it on his riding bow, and aimed at the terrified target ahead. Running fox.

With a "swish" sound, Zhang Ren, who is proficient in riding and archery, let go of the tight bow string, and the arrow flew towards the fox like a rabbit. Then Zhang Ren put down the riding bow, no longer aiming at the fox, and was not ready to add another arrow. , he has full confidence in his archery skills.

Zhang Ren watched as the arrow hit the fox's head as he expected. The galloping fox was severely injured and lost consciousness. However, its body was still driven by inertia and rolled forward for a while before stopping. When he came down, he slightly stirred up a gust of wind and dust.

The fox stopped walking, jumped over the gap and quickly rushed to the fox. He was hit by an arrow in the head. After rolling and stopping, the fox was spinning around on all fours, waiting for Zhang Ren on his back to issue new instructions.

Looking at the fox on the ground, Zhang Ren did not feel the pleasure of hitting the target with one hit, nor the excitement of hunting in the past. He put away his riding bow, called to the soldiers who followed him on the hunt, and picked up the fox on the ground.

The soldier who received Zhang Ren's order rode up to the fox, then dismounted and tied the fox to the back of the horse he was riding. On his horse were all Zhang Ren's hunting today, including foxes and deer. There are rabbits. If we count the total number, there are seventeen rabbits in total.

As Zhang Ren's personal guard, this soldier complimented Zhang Ren: "The captain is really a good shot. Every shot will hit without missing a single shot... It's a pity that we didn't find any big prey today, just some foxes." , deer, rabbits and other small animals, or hunt a bear, or a tiger, and bring it back to the camp, and show it to the brothers in the camp. If that doesn't work, you can shoot an elk, a fox deer, etc. and bring it back. , some of them are not pretty.”

"Actually, it's also because we have fewer people. If there are more people and spread out, the hunting range will be larger. If we drive away wild animals for the captain, we will definitely find some larger wild animals. Let the captain shoot them. happy."

Zhang Ren's face was calm, his eyes looked into the distance, and he responded calmly: "Today's hunting trip, shoot whatever is available, gather people and horses, and make a big fanfare, but there is no need."

Then he explained: "Now Liu Shijun is going to Nanzhong to conquer the Soyi people. Chengdu needs to be kept quiet so as not to make any noise and disturb others."

"The captain is careful, I didn't expect this." The guard scratched his head in embarrassment.

Zhang Ren stopped answering and continued to stroll through the gap. His brows were half twisted and he looked a little worried. Liu Zhang went south to conquer the Soyi people. He did not go south with the army and failed to follow his Ming Gong. He was feeling a little melancholy during this period, so he could only relax by going out for hunting.He couldn't help but remember that when he didn't see his name on the Southern Expedition document issued by the Prefecture Mufu, he hurried to Liu Zhang and asked Liu Zhang for orders to accompany the army in the Southern Expedition. Liu Zhang said that it was the land of Nanzhong, with steep mountains and fast water. The force was so strong that there were few plains where horses could gallop, so he was not added to the list of southern expeditions.

Of course, this problem did not stop Zhang Ren from repaying Liu Zhang's service. At that time, he threatened to serve as an infantry soldier and follow Liu Zhang south to conquer the Soyi people. He would be Liu Zhang's vanguard, attack cities and strongholds, and fight to the death.

But his Ming Gong still refused, telling him that Gao Pei was stationed in Jiangzhou, Bajun, Yang Huai went to Baishui Pass to resist Zhang Lu, and there were no well-known generals in Chengdu. Ming Gong considered that he needed a brave and steady person, He was left to guard the military camp outside Chengdu, so he was needed to stay and guard the military camps of Dongzhou soldiers and Shu soldiers outside Chengdu. Together with Huang Quan, the chief blogger and central leader, and Yan Yan, the newly appointed county lieutenant, he would guard the army outside Chengdu. , don't let anything happen.

Liu Zhang did not give a direct order, but persuaded him to stay in Chengdu with words. Zhang Ren naturally couldn't refute, so he stayed in Chengdu.

Zhang Ren looked at the sky. The sun in the distance was about to set. It slid down a lot to the west mountain. The sunset waved a gorgeous gauze. He lowered his head. Under the shining of the setting sun, the withered and yellow grass everywhere was plated with gold. yellow.

It's time to go back, Zhang Ren thought while Xiu Mu was out hunting.

Zhang Ren waved his hand to summon the dozen knights who accompanied him on the hunt. Upon seeing the message sent by Zhang Ren, the knights urged the horses to sit down and quickly gathered around Zhang Ren.

When all the knights gathered, Zhang Ren drove across the gap and, surrounded by the knights, headed towards the military camp outside Chengdu where the army was stationed.

Zhang Ren, who was running towards the military camp on the straight road, met a group of knights head-on. When Zhang Ren saw the opponent's flag clearly, he directed his knights to move to the side of the road and let the opponent pass first.

Zhang Ren, who was waiting quietly by the roadside, looked at the group of knights from the Zhou Mu Palace in front of him. His eyes were fixed like a hawk on the knights from the Zhou Mu Palace who were surrounding the noble young master. He was thinking about who from the Zhou Mu Palace was out hunting. , a moment later, he probably guessed the identity of this noble young master, he thought he was Liu Hao, the third young master of the Prefecture Mufu.

He had heard some rumors about Liu Hao, the third young master. Shortly after Liu Yan passed away, Liu Hao drank excessively, sang and danced, had no filial piety for his son, and was mean and abusive to his servants. , the stick killed an old maid who had worked in the mansion for many years, and she also had a conflict with his Ming Gong.

Being unfilial to his son and unkind to his master made Zhang Ren particularly unhappy. At the same time, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, Wang Shang and Zhonglang General Zhao Wei knew how to recognize people and did not care about the order of elders and young ones. His Ming Gong Liu Zhang was appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou. Otherwise, he would never be able to get ahead in life from such a humble family. How could he be like now, from a scribe to the position of captain, commanding all Liu Zhang's accounts? The next Jingqi.

Liu Hao, who was surrounded by knights, also noticed Zhang Ren on the roadside. He thought for a moment and roughly guessed Zhang Ren's identity based on Zhang Ren's service and flag.

He was the loyal dog of his younger brother Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren, who rode alone in Liangping, Ba County, and killed one thousand men.

Liu Hao showed a look of disgust, but quickly took it back and continued to move forward.

　Regarding the issue of chapter closing that some readers have talked about, here is the editor’s suggestion. It is not easy to close chapters in the early stage, because one chapter is 20 coins and two chapters are 10 coins each. 10 coins for two chapters is more acceptable. You don’t have to worry about it later. Okay, I’ll wait for Zhang to publish an article later.
