Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Okay." Defang nodded, "The lonely king can't hunt a few times a year."

Concubine Di tied the horse to the tree and said, "Let's walk in, the three of us. If there is a prey, let's see who shoots it first."

"Ma'am, you don't want to shoot arrows, do you?" Defang still looked at Concubine Di in surprise.

Concubine Di nodded, "Why does the prince always act like he doesn't trust his concubines? Back then, concubines often went out hunting with their father and elder brother."

"That happened many years ago, ma'am, don't hurt yourself." Defang was very worried.

"My lord, don't worry." Concubine Di also took out a bow and carried the quiver on her back. Hu Yanzan was also ready. Seeing that Concubine Di was so persistent, Defang knew that there was nothing wrong, so she had to prepare her bow, arrow and saber as well. The three of them went to the forest. After a whole day, the three of them hunted six hares, one fawn, three turtledoves and three wild geese.

The three of them tied their prey to the horses, and Hu Yanzan said, "Your Majesty is really amazing. You have hunted three hares and two turtledoves. My lord, you only managed to hunt one hare and one wild goose. Compared to your Majesty, it's really amazing. Tsk!" tsk tsk"

"Tsk tsk what?" Defang said, "The lonely king is just worried about his wife and has no intention of hunting."

Concubine Di came over, "Yes, yes, the prince is really considerate."

"Of course." Defang patted his clothes, "protecting his wife is the first priority of the lonely king."

Hu Yanzan untied the three horses, "My lord, empress, it's getting late, let's go back to the city."

"Okay" Defang nodded, and the three got on their horses and rode down the mountain. On the way back to the city, they saw two carriages and a group of soldiers heading for the city. What kind of team of officials."

Defang looked at the uniforms of the soldiers, "It should be generals, and it looks like they are going to Beijing for business, but Gu Wang has never heard of any generals returning to Beijing."

"The old minister went over to ask?"

"No need, maybe the general's family members just passed by here, it's not good to disturb them, let's go back first."

The three of them passed the team on horseback. Defang looked back at the team's flag, and there was written on it: Zhe, Defang stopped the horse, thought for a while and said, "General Huyan, look at the word Zhe on the flag, could it be Zhe Yuqing's family?"

Hu Yanzan and Concubine Di also stopped their horses, "Zhe Yuqing?" Hu Yanzan also looked back, "Maybe it's true."

Concubine Di asked, "My lord, is Zhe Yuqing the general who defended against the Liao enemy?"

"Yes ma'am, Zhe's family lives at the border. I don't know why they came to Beijing this time. Has His Majesty summoned Zhe's family to Beijing?"

"Maybe it's His Majesty's kindness to summon Yuqing's family members back to Beijing to take care of them," Hu Yanzan said

The three were talking, and the team was approaching. When the soldiers saw Defang and the three of them immediately carrying bows and arrows and knives, and seeing Huyanzan's hunchbacked appearance, they immediately became vigilant. Several soldiers rushed over and shouted, "Are you Who! Hurry up and get out of the way!"

Hu Yanzan saw a few soldiers pointing their spears at them, and said, "I said you, why are you pointing at us, we are not bandits."

"Who knows if you are!" The soldier pointed his spear at Hu Yanzan, "Get off your horse!"

Hu Yanzan was very angry, "If you tell me to get off the horse, I will get off the horse, I think you are looking for a fight!" Defang quickly stopped Hu Yanzan and said, "Don't make trouble!"

At this moment, a horse rushed up to Defang and the others. He looked him up and down and said, "Are you Orion?"

Defang saw that this person was only in his 20s, wearing a military uniform and a sword, so he said, "Yes, my lord, may I ask which general you are from?"

"I am Zhe Weizheng, the son of General Zhe Yuqing."
