The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

In early autumn, Liaobei is cold and cold. The dusk of the lush forests crisscrossed with the rolling hills, and the cool breeze XiXi blowing, and the forest is moving, and at a glance it looks like cascading waves. The sky is blue and endless, and a few idle clouds change leisurely, which is clean and refreshing.

On the hills on the northern outskirts of Xu Wu County, a cavalry of more than 20 people roared from west to east. The knights were dressed simply, with bows and nooses, and from time to time someone shouted to drive away a flock of panicked antelopes in front of the cavalry. The leader was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, and unlike the others behind him, he wore an extra piece of soft leather armor on his upper body, and was equipped with a strange and unknown seat on his horseback.

It was with the help of this strange seat that the boy could balance his body on his feet alone, and his hands were free to bend his bow and arrows, even at high speeds.

Chasing all the way, everyone behind him was already amazed by the juvenile fitness method. Many of them were experienced hunters, but none of them were able to shoot their bows and arrows at high speeds, and still maintain great accuracy.

I only heard the young man shout: "Medium." "

The strings move, the bow startles, the arrows roar.

The arrow with a cold light cleaved the air, and with a "whoosh" chased into the belly of an adult antelope.

As the antelope cried, the flock left its wounded members and scattered. The wounded antelope staggered and continued to run for some distance, and finally fell to the ground in despair.

"Look, the eldest prince has shot again."

"The eldest prince is really a magic arrow!"

"It's only been half a day, nine arrows out of thirteen, it can be said that Jinghuan Hou is alive."

"Don't be verbose, hurry up and pack up the sheep."

Surrounded by the cheers of his attendants, the young man slowed his horse and leaned towards the place where the antelope had fallen, but there was no look of pride or joy on his face, but he frowned in contemplation, and from time to time lowered his head to examine the strange seat in which he had sit. When they turned over and dismounted, the others ran forward to pack their prey, but the boy only glanced lightly at the antelope, which was still breathing, and then did not pay much attention to it, and turned around and began to adjust the seat on the horse's back.

"Eldest Prince," at this time, a middle-aged man led his horse from behind, and greeted the young man respectfully, "I saw you equipping these things on horseback early in the morning, and I don't know what this thing is?" Wouldn't it be quite inconvenient for the horse to be mounted on horseback like this..."Speaking of this, his tone couldn't help but increase a little.

The young man who was called the eldest prince smiled indifferently, patted his seat and said, "Uncle Hong, how could I not know that you are the most careful about these horses." You can rest assured, the seat I installed is called a saddle, and the following ring is called a horse. Not only do they make it more realistic for the rider to sit down, but they also reduce wear and tear on the horse's backbone, which is truly a win-win.

Uncle Hong was slightly embarrassed, but he still asked, "Is this true?" The

young man smiled and said, "When did my ancestor Zhao deceive Uncle Hong?" "

Uncle Hong knows that the eldest prince has been knowledgeable since he was a child, and in recent years, he has been even more old, and he can treat the whole manor politely, and his words are naturally unquestionable. Immediately, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "That's, that's, it's a lot of mouth."

The boy continued to inspect the seat, gestured with his hand to the ring of the horse's pedal, shook his head slightly, and said, "The size is not right, it needs to be improved."

Uncle Hong asked strangely: "Eldest prince, this saddle and horse pedal don't seem to come from the Hu people, and I haven't seen this thing in Youzhou, could it be a fresh toy from the Central Plains?" The

young man smiled plausibly, and then said, "This is something I have made on the spur of the moment in the last few days. Unfortunately, there are still defects, and when I have carefully improved them, I will definitely make the whole village fully equipped.

Hearing this, Uncle Hong's face was suspicious, but it was not easy to question the words of the eldest prince, after all, the other party was the young master of the ancestral village.

Seeing Uncle Hong's obvious look of worry, the young man smiled again, he didn't mean to blame, the other party was the manager of the ancestral family farm, as long as it was related to horses, he would put 100% of his heart into everything, this kind of devotion to duty was commendable. However, it is not convenient for him to say so much now, after all, he invented the saddle and the horse pedal in advance, and the emergence of new things will be more or less questioned.

"The reason why I am able to gallop and shoot well today is because of the effect of the saddle and the pedals. It's useless to talk about other things, Uncle Rihong, you can know the benefits and disadvantages of this thing if you try it yourself.

Uncle Hong was stunned, laughed dryly, and was about to speak, when someone from the entourage who was taking care of the prey not far away shouted happily: "Look, this is a pair of heavenly eyes." Soon

, someone turned around and called here: "Congratulations to the eldest prince, you have a pair of heavenly eyes." The

boy handed the reins of his mount to Uncle Hong, and turned to walk to the crowd around his prey. A retinue of a similar age hurriedly handed over a pair of horns that had just been dug from the antelope's head, and the roots of the horns and hands were still stained with fresh blood. The boy didn't dislike the bloodstains, picked up a sheep's horn and pointed it into the air, looking at the "antelope plug" with the bloody roots, he could vaguely see the horn pith in the cavity, and there was a very thin crack leading to the tip of the horn. Combined with the rich texture and the length of nearly a foot, it is certain that this is a rare pair of heavenly eyes.

Antelope horn is a traditional Chinese medicine, and the medicinal properties of Tianyan horn are better than ordinary antelope horns. Although the corner of the eye is not yet to a level rarely seen in the world, it is at least a good sign for hunters.

"Okay," the young man laughed and put the horn back into his entourage's hand, and said heartily, "I'm happy today, except for the pair of Tianyanjiao who will be honored to Ah Gong after they go back, the rest of the prey will be given to everyone to share equally."

When everyone heard this, they all cheered and thanked them loudly. Most of them are from hunters, and although they do not lack a piece of meat, the host will reward them with the hunt, which contains the meaning of trust and recognition, and of course they will cherish and honor.

The horns are wrapped separately and put in special bags, while the antelope carcass is tied with ropes and carried on the horse's back.

Everything is well taken care of, and it is just after noon. From early morning to now, the group has been running continuously, leaving Xu Wu for forty or fifty miles, and both people and horses are a little tired. As the oldest in the team, Uncle Hong suggested that he take a short rest here, drink some water and eat some dry food before heading out on the road. The boy had no objection, so they looked for a suitable place to sit and rest, and let the horses eat hay leisurely nearby.

Zu Zhao sat down on a mountain stalk, letting the clear sunlight spread on his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at the place where heaven and earth met in the distance, and a few hints of emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

It has been seven years since he came to this era, and I have to say that time has passed like a white horse, not only fully adapting to the new environment in front of him, but also inevitably planning for future survival. Although his luck is not bad, the eldest son of the patriarch of the ancestral clan in Xu Wu County, Beiping County, Youzhou, the ancestors of the three generations are all officers who guard the frontier and have military merits, and they are also from the same door as the middle-class Eastern Jin Dynasty general hundreds of years later.

It's just that the only misfortune is that he came to a wrong era, the fourth year of Emperor Xiping of Han Ling, and seven years later, today is the sixth year of Guanghe. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, which collapsed the Han Dynasty, is about to enter the stage of history.

For the past seven years, he has been preparing for troubled times. In the early years, he was still young, and in addition to actively being filial to his elders, treating his superiors and subordinates with courtesy, and following the rules and learning Confucianism, he put on a well-behaved and sensible attitude, and he could do very little in other aspects. Fortunately, the people in the northern border area are fierce and martial, coupled with the background of a military family, Xi opportunity to dance with knives and guns is indispensable in addition to learning articles. Using the exercise methods of modern people by himself can be regarded as practicing a hard kung fu.

Now that he is old enough to learn, he already has a certain ability to speak and act for the ancients, and in the next half a year, he will focus his energy on dealing with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

There are so many unknowable places to know what the road ahead should be!

At this time, the attendant who was about the same age earlier took out a bulging water bag and trotted to Zu Zhao. Zu Zhao withdrew from thousands of thoughts, took the water bag and took a big sip, wiped his mouth, and exhaled happily.

"Zu Ji, the month of Layue is the day when you tie your hair, have you ever asked the elders to give you a good name?" Handing back the water bag, Zu Zhao asked the other party as if chatting. The young entourage in front of him was originally of the same clan as him, but because he was from a partial branch, his family was not rich, and his status among all the clans was not high, so he arranged to do chores in the homes of several elders on weekdays.

The education level of ancient people was generally not high, and it was perfunctory to name children, and only when they reached the age of binding their hair would they take a serious name if conditions permitted. "Ji" is the smallest meaning, Zu Ji is just a random name for his own family, and a prominent family with a large population like Zu Ji is called more than one or two descendants.

"The eldest son is concerned, my father just visited the third uncle a few days ago, and the third uncle mentioned the word 'ping'." Zu Ji replied respectfully while putting away the water bag.

"Flat and neat, it's a good name. You're going to have to be a flat person from now on. Zu Zhao nodded in praise.

Zu Ji smiled honestly for a while, and it was hard to hide his same love for the name "Zu Ping".

"You've grown up, so you have to be more sensible in the future. Don't just play all day, read more or less, you know? After a pause, Zu Zhao said in a didactic tone again. The relationship between him and the cousin in front of him is quite close, and they have been practicing horses and Xi martial arts together in the early years, knowing that the other party is honest by nature and can't learn much from books, but he is blindly willing to dance with knives and guns, but he is a person who can be trusted and retracted.

"Yes, yes, my father has said more than once that I must learn more from Xi eldest son." Zu Ji didn't look embarrassed, scratched his head, and said in a vague tone.

Zu Zhao knew that some people were not born to be reading materials, so he didn't nag Zu Ji more, but just smiled understandingly.
