Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 212: Hunting (2)
Fulin and Xuanye didn't know about cats and dogs before she entered the palace. After hearing what she said clearly, Fulin smiled and said, "I thought it was something, so it's this , anyway, there is a large group of guards, and there are not many of them, so it will be right!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qing Ru thanked her with a smile, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, when will we come back after this trip?"

Fulin has obviously thought about this question: "The day after tomorrow is August 22th, and August [-]nd is the three-year draft, so I'm scheduled to come back on August [-]th. I'm in a hurry, but fortunately the road is not busy. It’s far away, and it’s only a few hours’ journey on horseback.”

Qing Ru hummed to show that she understood. She lowered her head and slowly ate the porridge in her bowl. She will be back on August [-]th, and she doesn't know if that matter can be done before the draft. This matter should not be long. , the longer the time, the easier it is for other accidents to happen.

No matter what Qingru thinks, the matter of hunting in the Taihua paddock has already been settled. In the next two days, the palace will be busy with this matter, and Qingru and Xuanye are also preparing to take them with them. After Fulin left, the things he said were delivered one after another. First, Qingru's bodyguard uniforms, which were a little too big after trying on, and then made smaller by Jiao Zijin, only the waist and shoulders. Change it, very fast.

In addition, Xuan Ye's military uniform and bow and arrows were all custom-made according to his size, and they couldn't fit better, and he refused to take them off after putting them on.

On the other side, Wei Zhong and Wei Wu (the cat and the dog) also received the news that they were able to go to the paddock with the emperor, and they were very happy. They never thought that they would one day enter the palace as guards , let alone go hunting in the paddock with the emperor, although he is only responsible for protecting Qingru and Xuanye, but it is already very remarkable.

This kind of excitement lasted until August [-]th, the day Fulin Yu drove to the Taihua paddock. Before leaving, Fulin led the only elder brother Xuan Ye who accompanied him to the paddock, and the ministers who followed him to the Fengxian Hall to pay homage. The ritual is to express to the ancestors that they will not forget the family law of "Mandarin Riding and Shooting". At the same time, they also ask the gods of the ancestors to bless them all the best.

After worshiping, Fulin changed into military uniforms and set up a large shelf to leave the palace. The accompanying civil and military officials were all equipped with bows and arrows and dressed in military uniforms. Because this hunting was just south of the capital, they were exempted. Kneeling and sending off of the princes and ministers who stayed behind.

Fulin took Xuan Ye into the imperial sedan chair, and Qing Ru also sat in in the name of Xuan Ye's personal bodyguard. Although it was against the rules, since the emperor had something to say, the courtiers did not dare to refute it. This bodyguard is more trusted by the emperor, and the people who protect them personally know Qingru's true identity, but they never dare to reveal half of it after getting Suo'etu's order in advance. Wei Zhong and Wei Wu followed the imperial sedan chair Although they tried their best to hold themselves back, it was the first time they saw such a big scene, they couldn't help but look around and click tut.

At noon, Fulin's imperial frame arrived at the Taihua paddock surrounded by Luanyiwei, Qianfengying, Jianruiying, Shenjiying, Huqiangying, and princes and ministers. Camp, this imperial camp is composed of Huangyu Tent, Mantle City and Net City, surrounded by layers of fortified and heavily guarded guard camps.

Originally, when the emperor was out hunting, he had to deal with government affairs and issue government orders, but since this time it was only a few days, he did not move over the government affairs of the Li Dynasty. Some not very important affairs were discussed and resolved by Sony and other ministers , As for those that must be dealt with by the emperor, let them go first, and make a decision after they go back.

The Taihua Paddock is not as big as the Mulan Paddock. It can be divided into 72 small enclosures according to the terrain changes. The Taihua Paddock is only divided into 24 small enclosures. It is already meal time when they enter the paddock, and hunting must be done in the early morning. Let's start, so after this day is up, just confirm the location of Xiaowei and the arrangements everywhere.

Both Qingru and Xuan Ye came to the paddock for the first time, and they felt unfamiliar and curious about everything, especially Xuan Ye, who was so excited that he could go hunting right away with his special silver bow and arrow, but he only In the tent, I can watch the Eight Banners soldiers methodically arrange the things that need to be prepared for tomorrow's hunt.

This night was spent in tension and excitement. Before the dawn of the second day, the Eight Banners who participated in the hunting came out of the camp one after another, according to their affiliation: Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, Zhengbai, Xiangbai, Zhenghong, Xianghong. The Eight Banners, Zhenglan, and Xianglan gathered around Kancheng in an orderly manner, preparing to encircle them.

The mobilization of the entire army is commanded by the yellow flag, and the two wings are surrounded by red and white flags.The spread of the two wings was thirty to forty miles long at first. When the red and white flags on the two wings were closed, the encirclement circle began to be narrowed under the command of the yellow flag. Finally, the encirclement was completed when it reached the point where "people stand side by side and horses stand side by side". Task.After the first human wall is set up, a second siege will be set up. If the enclosed animals escape from the first siege, the soldiers in the second siege must be responsible for killing them. , they will be punished.

After the encirclement was ready, all the soldiers present took off their tents, raised their whips high, and shouted: "Marga" (meaning "cap" in Mongolian), which was a signal to wait for encirclement. At this time, the soldiers of the Blue Banner galloped to the imperial camp, inviting the emperor to drive to the paddock.

Seeing this, Fulin, who was waiting in full gear in the imperial camp, smiled slightly, got on his horse amidst Xuan Ye's looking up gaze and Qingru's whispered orders, and ran towards the encirclement with his whip, while his personal bodyguard Tu Hai stepped up. The other horse followed Fulin every step of the way for safety.

Wei Zhong and Wei Wu looked at Tu Hai riding behind the emperor with a little envy. It would be great if they were eligible to be assigned to protect the emperor.

At the encirclement, Suo'etu had already prepared the bows and arrows for the emperor's field, and Fulin didn't stop his horse. He just reached out to take the bow and arrows from Suo'etu's hand while galloping, and then put the arrows on the bowstring, and flew towards the running around. The wild beast shot away. At this time, Fulin showed superb horse archery skills. He saw that the arrows kept shooting out of his hands. Correspondingly, wild beasts fell to the ground from time to time. Apart from Tu Hai's personal protection, there were also horsemen behind him. His followers, princes and ministers, soldiers of Shenji Camp and Huqiang Battalion followed closely, led dogs, rode eagles, and delivered arrows, never leaving the emperor's side.

Xuanye watched from a distance from the imperial camp, his face gradually showed a puzzled expression, he looked up at Qingru who was dressed as a guard and said, "Auntie, why don't they shoot and hunt, and only look at Huang Ama alone?" shoot?"

Qingru's slightly squinted eyes followed Fulin's figure all the time, and she didn't bow her head when she heard Xuanye's question and said: "At this time, they are not allowed to shoot. If you want to show the emperor's supremacy, you have to wait for your emperor Ama to shoot and shoot." You can only shoot when you have finished watching, and you can go up together at that time!"

Xuan Ye looked down at the bow and arrow in his hand. The silver-white bow seemed to be trembling non-stop, and he needed to hold it firmly. This was the first time in his life that he was shooting horses. He would definitely let Huang Ama , to make my aunt proud.

They were talking here, and Fulin had finished hunting over there. After loading the prey one by one, he rode his horse to look around the city. Whether it is an important opportunity to be favored or promoted by the emperor, so everyone who participated in the hunt took the lead bravely and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Xuan Ye stepped on a horse specially prepared for him, cheered and rushed to the place where the wild beasts gathered, Wei Zhong and Wei Wu followed Qing Ru's signal, besides them, many people followed.

Qingru randomly chose a horse and sat on it steadily. It's funny to say that she had learned to ride a horse before, but she didn't expect that after losing her memory, she could remember every detail of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she forgot all about riding a horse. Erjing also made a joke.

She rode a horse and walked slowly towards Xuan Ye. Since the soldiers were busy hunting, no one noticed her. As for the person assigned by Fulin to protect her, they followed closely behind. There is a distance between them so that they don't look too conspicuous.

Fulin sat in the viewing area and watched the soldiers of the Eight Banners rounding up in the hunting ground. Naturally, he also saw Xuan Ye and Qing Ru. As Xuan Ye kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, he shot down a few small wild animals from time to time. Its movement is smooth and skilled, only a little rusty at first.

Fulin looked at it for a while, feeling a little worried about the safety of Xuanye and Qingru. It was not that there were no ferocious animals in the paddock. He shot a white tiger just now.

"Suo'etu!" Fulin turned his face to Suo'etu who was standing beside him: "You go and send more people to protect the third elder brother, and bring her back, just say it's my order!"

Suo'etu naturally understood who Fulin was referring to by "she", and went down to deliver the order after a short and forceful response.

Just when Xuan Ye was shooting happily, many soldiers surrounded him not far from him, and bursts of shouts erupted from time to time. Besides, there seemed to be the sound of wild animals. It seemed that they were rounding up What kind of beast, Xuan Ye's attention was immediately attracted to it, and he stopped shooting. He drove the horse and ran over there. Qingru wanted to see what kind of beast it was, and followed them one by one. There are so many people who should There is no danger.

When I got there, I realized that there was a fierce tiger surrounded. Originally, so many people could kill it with a few arrows, let alone a volley, but this tiger was extremely cunning. So he took advantage of the situation and hid in a cave. This cave is not straight, but has a curve inside, so the arrows shot by the soldiers can't hurt it.

Xuanye became interested in the tiger hiding in the cave after learning about the situation, so he followed the crowd there, and after seeing that several shots failed, he frowned, put his hands on the horse's back, Sliding off his horse alone, he walked a few steps closer to the entrance of the cave. Those soldiers knew Xuan Ye's identity. Seeing him coming so close, they couldn't help being startled. They dismounted and stood in front of him, advising him not to approach You must know that this fierce tiger will jump out of the hole at any time, if it hurts him, it will be troublesome.

Qing Ru also got off the horse, and said to Xuan Ye from behind: "Xuan... third elder brother, this place is dangerous, don't go there!" Seeing that a small guard actually called the current elder brother by his name, he would definitely be suspicious.

Xuan Ye could hear him calling him clearly, so he had to stop, but he didn't retreat, he was still standing closest to the entrance of the cave, and he could hear the roar of a tiger coming from the cave from time to time, reminding everyone that there was a real tiger inside. A real tiger.

Xuan Ye thoughtfully looked at the hole that was higher than him, and suddenly said: "Which one of you brought a fire pocket?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then several people said that they had brought them. Xuan Ye nodded, and asked someone to pick up some dead branches, burn them outside the cave, and use the smoke to fumigate the tiger inside. They all realized that the third elder brother wanted to force the tiger out so that it would not be able to hide in the hole all the time.

Wei Zhongwei Wu picked up the firewood and set it up not far from the entrance of the cave, and then fanned the lit smoke into the cave. As the fire grew stronger, the smoke became thicker and thicker, and there were low growls in the cave from time to time. Hearing the sound, the tiger seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and might rush out at any time.

Just when Wei Zhong and others advised Xuan Ye not to stand there anymore, the tiger in the cave was finally forced to stay no longer, and with a loud roar, it rushed out of the cave with a gust of wind.

The bows and arrows that had been prepared outside were shot out the moment it appeared, but the smoke not only smoked the tiger, but also blocked the shooter's sight. These arrows either missed or only scratched a little. None of them really hurt the tiger. The tiger seemed to know who drove it to a dead end, and the direction it rushed was exactly where Xuan Ye was.

This shot really frightened people, the tiger was moving fast, but it took a while to shoot the bow and arrow again, and this period was enough for the tiger to bite off Xuan Ye's neck.

The situation was urgent, and without thinking too much, the soldiers stood in front of Xuan Ye to stop the tiger from rushing towards him. After Qingru came back to her senses, she hugged Xuan Ye without thinking to prevent him from being attacked by the tiger. At this time, the people brought by Suo'etu were still more than [-] meters away from each other, and there was no time to rescue them. I can only hope that the archers can shoot the second arrow before someone is injured.

However, before anyone else had time to shoot arrows, two silver-black arrows that were slightly shorter than ordinary arrows accurately shot into the eyes of the tiger that was still in mid-air before it had time to pounce, and two streams of blood flowed from the eyes. Straight down, stained on its yellow fur.

"Wow!" the tiger screamed after suffering the pain. At the same time, it fell from mid-air and kept rolling on the ground. Its tail was like a steel whip, making marks on the ground. , The sudden blindness and pain caused the tiger to whine non-stop.

Where did the arrow come from?With this question in mind, everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the arrow was shot just now, and only then did they see that Xuan Ye, who should have been hugged by Qing Ru, leaned out half of his body at some point, and his left hand He was holding the silver bow. There was no arrow on the bow, but the bowstring was vibrating. It was obvious that an arrow had just been shot!

Everyone was in an uproar at this moment. In such a situation that endangered him, he, a six-year-old child, could aim and shoot without fear, and shoot two arrows at the same time. This is something that many people cannot do. It is really surprising that he actually did it!

At this time, Suo'etu also arrived. After confirming that there were no casualties, Fang ordered people to shoot down the dying tiger, and the tiger hunter's name was undoubtedly Xuan Ye. This was an almost miraculous thing. Who would have thought of a A six-year-old boy actually shot an arrow at a tiger, blinding its eyes once. The soldiers hugged Xuanye excitedly and walked towards Fulin, who was standing in the crowd, calling "Third Elder Brother" all the way!
However, Xuanye was not as happy as others thought. After receiving Fulin's award, he didn't say a word. Instead, he kept looking at Qingru who was by his side, and waited until no one paid attention to the soft question behind them. "Auntie, why did you stand in front of me just now? Aren't you afraid that the tiger will hurt you?" The soldiers stood in front of him to protect the Lord, there is no way, if he is injured or dies, All of them will be punished or even executed, but Qingru has nothing to do with it.

Qingru was holding a handkerchief to help Xuanye cover the wound on his right hand that was shattered. The one bow and two arrows just now were shot beautifully, but the aftershock was also amazing, especially the one that Xuanye had shot many times before. Under the circumstances, the tiger's mouth is bleeding.

After the bandage was finished, she said: "Of course I'm afraid of getting hurt. No one is not afraid of pain or injury. It's just that Xuan Ye is my aunt's child, so my aunt must protect you!" She didn't have time to think about these problems at that time, It's just that she subconsciously doesn't want Xuan Ye to be hurt, she has already regarded him as her own!

Xuan Ye nodded his head lightly and did not speak, as if this was just a small episode. This day's hunt passed after a thrilling one, and the next day continued to hunt, but Fulin did not appear in person again , but has been sitting in the spectator position.In addition, out of safety considerations, although Xuan Ye was not stopped from continuing to hunt, he sent a lot of manpower, and strictly ordered all the soldiers not to let ferocious beasts appear around the third elder brother. As for Qingru, Fulin would not let her say anything. Going down further, he insisted on keeping her by his side, Qing Ru had no choice but to watch Xuan Ye riding and shooting below with him.
