Chapter 41 Winter Hunting

From autumn to winter, as usual, the whole northern three continents are covered with white snow. Perhaps they have already adapted to such a climate. All households have taken out cotton-padded jackets and coal stoves to prepare for the winter.

"Wang..."

A team of teenagers dressed in white robes, straddled strong horses, hung bows on horse bodies, and carried arrows on their backs. They rode out of the north gate of Shangliang City, followed by servants carrying all kinds of hunting gear and holding hounds.

With the arrival of the first heavy snow of the Star Empire this year, the Royal Forest Farm, which has been silent for nearly a year, has reopened.

The royal forest farm is located outside Shangliang City. The whole forest farm accounts for 30% of the forest land of Shangliang Mansion, during which all kinds of cherished birds and beasts live.

It can be said that this is a winter hunting, or this competition. After more than a year of cultivation and maintenance, the beasts in the forest have multiplied to an extreme. In order to prevent some beasts from becoming horrible monsters, hunting every winter is particularly important.

Although Wu Ao has no real power, he is still a member of the royal family in order not to completely disconnect himself from the large army. Early in the morning, Wu Wei rode a fast horse and joined the hunting team with Pu Shan. Perhaps to understand Wu's current situation, when the news of hunting came last night, Dong Qinglian sent someone to send BMW, strong bows, attendants and three precious fox dogs.

It is said that fox dogs are a combination of foxes and dogs. As for that kind of fox, that kind of dog is unknown, because these are royal secrets. The fox dog combines the cunning of the fox, the loyalty of the dog, and the brutality of the beast. Although the fox dog is only the size of a fox, its tracking ability is definitely a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary hound. What's more important is the ferocity of the fox dog. An adult fox dog is enough to turn over an adult wild boar.

Looking at the horses coming out of the city, if they are good at watching horses, horse raisers will find that most of these horses are "cloud horses" introduced from northern Tibet. The horses are all white and run like stepping on clouds, hence the name.

Although northern Tibet is only a small country outside the Chenxing Empire, the horses flowing from northern Tibet to the whole continent every year account for 80% of the whole continent. It is precisely because of this that North Tibet, which only occupies three counties, can survive in a world full of powerful countries.

Although Wu Fu** is not a "stepping on the cloud horse", it is also a "burning horse" at the same level as stepping on the cloud horse. The burning horse also comes from northern Tibet, but it is slightly inferior to the snow-white "stepping cloud horse". If the "stepping on the cloud horse" is the emperor of the horse, then the "burning horse" is the general of the horse.

Just as Wu was driving his horse away from Shangliang City, a rapid sound of horses' hoofs came from the direction of Shangliang City.

The hunting horse team was led by a teenager wearing a blue brocade robe, carrying a leather cloak and a seven-foot sword at his waist, followed by teenagers in the same costume, who were more noble than the hunting team that had left the city before.

"Father, chronic!" Seeing the hunting horse team with only five people in front of him, Li Jingyi immediately stopped Wu Ao. Although it is not that the more hunters the better, Wu Ao has to be protected. After all, the forest farm is so big that it is very simple to ambush a person.

"Yi..." Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Wu Qian skillfully pulled the reins. Because it was still close to Shangliang City, the horse's speed was not too fast, and only two breaths stopped the horse.

"Brother Jing Yi, Brother Li Shen, Brother Sun Wen, Brother Guan, Brother Liu Yu, long time no see!" Looking back at the hunting team behind him, Wu Wei greeted everyone one by one. These were the princes whom Wu Fu met in the Hundred Flower Building that day.

"Father!" Seeing Wu look back and order all his names, a group of children immediately saluted Wu.

You should know that as soon as Baihualou gathered on that day, they only introduced the family, and their names chose to keep them rationally. When they saw Wu Fu, they could call out one by one, which means that Wu Fu not only valued himself on the surface, but also knew himself in his heart.

"Sir, although the more people hunt, the better, but I can sweep the bitterness of hunting together. I don't know what the prince's intention is!" When Li Jingyi saw that everyone had finished greeting, he immediately invited Wu.

"Brother Jingyi, it's very polite. I'm not familiar with the forest farm and I can get you to lead the way!" Hunting is a kind of leisure in the eyes of this group of princes who have been busy with various affairs all year round. Wu Fu also needs to join them, and naturally happily agrees to Li Jingyi's invitation.

"Father, please!" The mountain road was not easy to walk, and at most three strong horses could pass. Therefore, when they saw Wu Wei join, Li Shen and others immediately stepped back and stepped aside two positions. As for the servants with hunting gear, they rode horses to the back of the team.

"Son, I don't know who this hero is?" Seeing Pu Shan followed by Wu Wei, he naturally became different from Pu Shan with Li Jingyi's eyesight now, and immediately asked Wu Wei.

"This is my brother, Pu Shan. This is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Jingyi, the youngest second-grade official in my dynasty!" Hearing Li Jingyi's inquiry, Wu was about to introduce their identities.

"It turned out to be Brother Pu, Jing Yi is polite!" After seeing his identity, Pu Shan not only did not have a trace of surprise, but also had no expression on his face. Although he could not determine the specific identity of this person, how could he be an ordinary person who could get along with Wu? So Li Jingyi immediately saluted.

"Brother Li is very polite. I have heard that Brother Li is erudite and benevolent. Today, it is really as rumored to say." Pu Shan was originally an elegant person. The court could not care, but he knows the famous scribes of the Chenxing Empire

"Brother Pu, don't believe this. Jing Yi has just read books for several years and can play a few sentences randomly. In fact, he dares not be in the name of erudite. The forest farm is about to open, let's go to the forest farm first!" Although Li Jingyi was very happy to hear Pu Shan's praise, he could not jump out and say that you were right. After modesty, he turned the topic back to the purpose of this trip.

"Well, let's go!" Although the meeting can't take much time, the opening of the forest farm is in place. After all, this is a royal activity, and this rule still needs to be observed.

With Li Jingyi's gesture, the hunting horse team, which was originally stationed on both sides of the mountain road, walked forward again and stepped on a deep horseshoe mark on the snow.

Li Jingyi and Wu took the lead and soon threw Pu Shan and others behind them away. After enough space and distance, the whole horse team became faster and faster.

"Brother Jingyi, I have something to ask." Looking at the horse team behind him, Wu said an angry.

"I don't know what the prince wants to ask." Seeing that Wu asked himself at this time, Li Jingyi also understood that the questions asked below should be those. Naturally, Li Jingyi would not hide the news before he came.

"The assassination of the Marquis of Martial Arts can now be found out!" With the assassination of the Marquis of Martial Arts, Wu Wei vaguely felt that the current situation had begun to shift. However, Wu Wei did not have his own intelligence network and could only passively receive news from Dong Qinglian, which made Wu Wei's grasp of the current situation more and more blurred.

"The assassination of the Marquis of Martial Arts should be the work of the playboy in the palace. Several adults will deal with this matter, so don't worry!" Li Jingyi naturally understood what this represented, but now Li Jingyi doesn't want to reveal too much.

"Flower, isn't it Wu Ming's brother?" There are only nine people who can be called father-in-law in the palace, and ordinary eunuchs are eunuchs unless they are bosses. And the playboy Wu Anger knew that he was originally Wu Ming's cousin, and Wu Ming called Huaman before he was given a name. There was a great resentment between the two. If it hadn't been so, the playboy would not have gone to the palace as a erman. Although it was one thing that the two had a grudge, where the playboy's ability came from, it took Wu to think about it.

"You still don't know something about the prince. The master of the playboy is the ninth concubine in the palace, and the ninth concubine was the princess of the State of Luo before she married into the palace." Seeing Wu's eyebrows locked, Li Jingyi immediately explained.

Nine concubines are the noble concubines that Wu Shengyuan has married in recent years. She was originally the princess of the State of Luo, two years younger than the nine concubines, but it is absolutely not easy to climb to the position of noble concubines at a young age. Moreover, this state of Luo is the territory of the nine schools. Although the country is small, there are many masters. Luo Guo's help in this assassination is easy to explain. But why did Luo Guo intervene in this matter?

"How is the marquis's health now?" The answer needs to be found by yourself. Naturally, Wu Fu will not ask further and immediately inquire about Wu Ming's situation.

"The marquis's health is not bad. He has been able to walk on the ground recently!" Seeing that Wu Ao did not ask further, Li Jingyi's previous inquiry did not exist and immediately answered Wu Ao's new question.

"Come on, get off the horse!" While the two were talking, a majestic voice came from the front of the mountain road, and a group of soldiers guarded both sides of the mountain road, and a general in armor stood in the middle of the mountain road.

"It turned out to be General Nangong. This is my token!" In order to ensure the safety of hunting in winter, the whole forest farm will be protected by special personnel. When he saw the general Li Jingyi, he immediately took out a token from his sleeve.
