Chapter 49 Hunting
The next day, Tiewang Mountain.

Jia Wei followed Emperor Xuanwu and looked around the hunting ground.

There was a huge crowd of people. The prince Zhongshun, the prince of Ningjing and other Han royal family members attended the hunting. There were also the prince of Beijing Shui Rong, the first-class baron Niu Ji Zong, the general of Weiyuan Ma Shang and other military officials who were dressed in uniform and ranked in the court.

It can be said that half of the Chen Han Dynasty was gathered here.

It is worth mentioning that the factory manager Wei Ao was absent due to illness.

Jia Wei suddenly saw a young eunuch catching up with the emperor to report something. He had good hearing and vaguely heard the content.

"…The princess is not feeling well, so she will not participate in the first day of hunting."

Then Xuanwu frowned and muttered, "This Jianning said he wanted to come and see if there were any young talents he liked, but he didn't even show up on the first day..."

Jia Wei was sweating profusely after hearing this. Jian Ning didn't dare to come because the slap marks on her face hadn't disappeared yet. She probably couldn't ride a horse after all the trouble she had last night...

Also, the emperor is thinking about his brother-in-law?

"It's troublesome, too much trouble... I must stay away from Jianning, this pervert, from now on! I can't get deeper and deeper into trouble."

After some preparation, Xuanwu began to give a speech:
"The Han Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, but it cannot escape the rule that military preparations will be relaxed after a long period of peace. However, now the nine borders are in turmoil, and the Mongols, Yuan, Liao and Xia are eyeing the Central Plains.

I believe that only when civil and military power are fully equipped can we subdue the world and make the villains dare not to run rampant and cause chaos!

Today we are going hunting. You should ride and hunt with the other troops, and you will be rewarded according to the amount of prey you catch.

From now on, the military examination system will be changed, and the princes of each prefecture will inherit it. The clan office will mainly test riding and archery skills. "

Jia Wei followed the crowd and said in unison: "Our emperor is wise and wise, and we will obey your orders!"

The first arrow in a hunt would naturally be shot by the emperor.

The guards had already driven over a group of wild deer. Xuanwu rode up on his horse and shot an arrow when he was twenty or thirty steps away, hitting the deer right in the body. There was a cheer at the scene, announcing the start of the hunt.

Jia Wei also rode out with the crowd, but because he had doubts in his heart, he did not go far.

When passing by a hillside, Jia Wei saw a wild rabbit, so he bent his bow and shot it with an arrow. The Long Jinwei who was following him immediately stepped forward to pick it up and started to flatter it.

Jia Wei shook his head. Hunting was fun, but he couldn't enjoy it to the fullest because he was thinking about Jianning's affairs and was worried that Zhao Wuji had some plans.

He rode and hunted all the way. As he had practiced the Nine Yang Magical Art and had a strong internal energy, he did not need to rest. He only changed horses occasionally. From time to time, the Dragon Guard behind him would linger behind him, but would disappear soon after.

Jia Wei didn't care and continued to go around. When his horse was full of prey, he was ready to return. On the way, he saw a group of people gathering and hunting a falcon, so he stopped his horse and watched from a distance.

He looked at the group of people, and he happened to know the person leading them, Prince Beijing Shui Rong.

Among the four kings and eight dukes, only King Beijing had the greatest achievements, and his descendants still inherit the title of king.

The falcon was extremely agile. It spread its wings and flew through the woods, deftly avoiding their arrows. A man rode his horse to chase it, but one of its wings was hit and he almost fell off his horse.

The falcon turned around in the air and actually flew towards Jia Wei. Seeing this, Jia Wei did not hesitate. He bent his bow like a full moon and shot an arrow, hitting the eagle right in the body.

"Good archery!"

The voice came from the other side, not Shui Rong's group. Jia Wei looked carefully and found that it was the group of Prince Ningjing and Prince Zhongshun.

Prince Ningjing said, "I've heard that Ningguo Mansion has produced a martial arts champion, who is first-rate in archery, horse riding and internal martial arts. It's really better to see it in person than to hear about it!"

Jia Wei dismounted and picked up the falcon, then bowed slightly to Prince Ningjing: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise." He was still the emperor's lackey, so naturally he could not be too enthusiastic towards Prince Ningjing.

Prince Ningjing used a musket for hunting. When Jia Wei saw the short-barreled musket on his saddle, he took a few more glances at it.

After all, there is a saying: "Seven steps away, the gun is the fastest, and within seven steps, the gun is both fast and accurate."

This short-barreled musket should be a flintlock, which uses the impact of the flint on the hammer to produce sparks and ignite the gunpowder.

The shooting distance of this type of musket is about 100 meters, and the effective range is even smaller.

Jia Wei's Nine Yang Magic Art has reached the level of Vajra Indestructibility. As long as he has prior warning and luck to protect his body and keeps a certain distance, he can withstand the bullets.

The Prince Zhongshun who was standing by looked at Jia Wei and said with a smile, "Are you really from the Jia family?"

Jia Wei said, "After the Ningguo, I wonder if His Royal Highness has any advice for you?"

Jia Wei also remembered that he had pretended to be the prince of Zhongshun Palace when he was in Mount Zhongnan...

"You are the champion of martial arts. I don't dare to give you advice on this hunting ground. I am just curious." Prince Zhongshun said, "I heard that your family has a noble son who was born with a jade in his mouth. I wonder if you have the jade?"

Jia Wei did not speak. He wanted to reply, "Your family has an emperor with a jade seal. I wonder if you have the jade..."

Prince Ningjing looked at Prince Zhongshun and said, "Brother Tao, please don't speak nonsense."

He took the short-barreled musket from the saddle and handed it to Jia Wei: "Brother Jia's father and I are old friends, and our two families are old friends. Now I see that Brother Jia is very happy. As the saying goes, 'a sword is given to a hero'. This is a short-barreled musket given by the Luosha people. It is powerful and can be used in rainy days. I will give it to Brother Jia."

Jia Wei recalled that his previous life's parents had stood on the wrong side. They committed suicide after the old Prince Yi Zhong, the father of this Prince Ningjing, did something bad.

Your father harmed my father, so now you want to harm me, right?

Jia Wei did not accept it, but said, "As the saying goes, no merit, no reward. Your Majesty's reward is too precious, and I feel ashamed to accept it. Now the hunting is still going on, I am sorry that I cannot accompany you."

After Jia Wei finished speaking, he mounted his horse in a dashing manner and rode away.

Prince Ningjing looked at Jia Wei's back with a calm expression. Chen Tao, the son of Prince Zhongshun, scolded him, "You don't know how to be polite!"

Jia Wei had not walked a few steps when he met the man whose wing had just been hit by the falcon. His brow bone was swollen and he could no longer hunt, so he was about to return.

"But Brother Jia Shi is here in person?" The man introduced himself, "My father is General Feng Tang, the Godly and Mighty."

Jia Wei was no stranger to Feng Ziying, as he had contacts with Jia Baoyu, Xue Pan and others in the Jia family.

His father, General Feng Tang, led the right camp in this hunting expedition and served as guard on the right wing.

Jia Wei also bowed and said, "It turns out to be Brother Feng Shi."

Feng Ziying looked at Jia Wei riding three horses, each loaded with killed game, and his face was filled with admiration.

Although soldiers had driven the prey to the hunting grounds, it was still difficult to shoot so many. For example, Feng Ziying went out with a group of people, but returned halfway and did not hunt any wild animals.

"Brother Jia Shi is indeed a skilled martial artist. He returned with a full load in just over an hour. I am far inferior to him."

He saw the falcon on Jia Wei's horse again and said with a smile, "This beast just gave me a wing, but I didn't expect it to be shot by my brother. My brother has avenged me. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely treat you to a meal..."

Seeing that he had a generous personality, Jia Wei also wanted to make friends with him, so he naturally agreed.
