Chapter 253 One Hundred One: Rainbow Light

Hunan Mountain is more than a thousand feet high, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round. Although this place is the hunting ground of the Emperor, since the early years, the sage issued an order to relax the ban on Chuanze, and the common people can also enter the mountain to collect firewood.

However, woodcutters can go as far as the field of Mingdu Spring to the vicinity of Yandang Ridge at the foot of the mountain, and only the herbalists can go deeper.But there are some Jedi that even the herb collectors will not easily set foot on.

Li Chan rode Xu Da deep into the mountains. The sound of the drums at the foot of the mountain was blocked by the thick autumn leaves, and only the sound of the wind and the chirping of birds could be heard.

The Five-Colored Deer led the way and came to the foot of a cliff. The cliff was hundreds of feet high and there were many rock mushrooms and cypresses. The Five-Colored Deer went straight up the cliff. difficult.Although this cliff is steep, it is not impossible to go up, but it cannot walk on flat ground like the five-color deer.The deer walked so gracefully and lightly, and he followed behind him, didn't he fall into the prestige of A Lang?

Li Chan was quite relieved, feeling that this guy had learned a bit of etiquette from Mai Wang, pityed that the mother and child of the five-color deer were about to part, and gave them some space to be alone.

The five-color deer came to the middle of the cliff and walked into the cave. Immediately, a small deer, the size of a dog, came out of the cave.

Seeing the child, the five-color deer felt sad again, and lowered its head to lick the little deer's body.The little deer saw his mother's tears and licked them curiously. After tasting the salty taste, he liked it more and more.

The doe sighed, returned to the entrance of the cave, and looked down at Li Chan. Although this practitioner of the Qianyuan Academy looks very kind, he is not a person by appearance. Who knows if he will dedicate both mother and child to Li Chan? Human emperor in exchange for glory and wealth?
It's just that today, the doe has no other way to go, and can only hope in her heart that Bachelor Li will not break her promise and bow her head and arch the fawn outward.The fawn was allowed to go out, and happily jumped out of the cave. Although it could not walk up the cliff like a female deer, it could jump nimbly with the help of thuja and protruding rocks.

After jumping for a while, it saw the scarlet-clothed man and the evil spirit beast below, and stopped quickly, shrinking back in fear, but its eyes couldn't help but look at the uninvited guest, revealing curiosity and agility.

It wasn't until the doe got off the cliff that the fawn plucked up the courage to follow, sniffing Li Chan and then Xu Da.Xu Da bared his fangs on purpose, the deer was frightened, jumped back three feet high, and hid behind the doe.

Xu Da smiled triumphantly, "Don't be afraid, little deer, although I am the head of the six evils, I never bully the weak!" As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flew over and pecked it on the head.

Xu Da hissed, but Ya Qiansui had already flapped his wings and flew into the forest.

The doe looked at Xu Da hesitantly, and quietly shielded the little deer behind her. She still didn't believe the young man she had never met before, and she only had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and asked: "I am so bold, how dare I ask Xueshi Li how to get rid of him?" Take my child away?"

Li Chan took out a piece of Shuzhou hemp paper from his bosom, flipped his wrist, and grabbed the rabbit brush handed out from his sleeve, and said, "Little deer, come here."

The fawn poked its head out from behind the doe, its eyes were curious and fearful, hesitating, but Li Chan started to draw.

In a blink of an eye, that clever little deer jumped onto the paper, the doe sensed something was wrong, turned her head and saw that the little deer had disappeared, she hurriedly called out: "Baby!" Turning her gaze back again, she saw the little deer in Li Chan's hand. Hua, froze on the spot, and said anxiously: "Xueshi Li, my child?"

Li Chan shook the drawing paper lightly, and the fawn reappeared in front of the doe. Although it was only a momentary separation, the doe lost her beloved son, but her heart was greatly relieved. She lowered her head and dawdled with the fawn, and understood Well, what this bachelor said was really not a lie, he actually had a way to take away its child.Kneeling down again to thank Li Chan, this time sincerely, with tears streaming down his face, he pointed the little deer towards Li Chan, "Boy, go with Xueshi Li!"

Although Xiao Lu was naive and ignorant, he also understood what his mother meant, and was stunned for a moment, Yoyo screamed and refused to leave, and also shed tears.

Xu Da said: "Little deer baby, your mother is going to the palace. The palace is a good place, not to mention that there are no snakes, insects and beasts. What you eat every day is sesame grass and ginseng, which is much better than Hu Nanshan. You will follow Alang in the future." , if your cultivation base is advanced, you will naturally have the opportunity to enter the palace, come here quickly!"

The little deer still remembered that the evil spirit bared its teeth, its four hooves seemed to be rooted, and it remained motionless.Ya Qiansui, who flew far away just now, came back and brought a green sesame from somewhere and put it in front of the deer. Seeing the little deer hesitated, he pushed the green sesame forward with his beak. After all, the little deer couldn't resist the temptation. He glanced at his mother, lowered his head and chewed, and ate half of it. , I didn't forget to rub my head against Chitose.Ya Qiantui glanced at Xu Da, although he didn't make a sound, he raised his chest.

When the doe saw this, her mournful heart calmed down a bit, and she said gratefully, "Xueshi Li's kindness is something I will never forget!"

……

At the second quarter of the unitary hour, the sun is setting on the western mountains, the clouds are thousands of miles away, and the sound of returning to the field is heard.Li Yin was dressed in military uniform and rode a yellow horse on a high place. Today he was hunting in the autumn. The emperor who was always good at fighting didn't hunt in person like in previous years.The armor of the soldiers and generals reflected the autumn light, the flags fluttered, and the murderous aura was soaring.

On the side, left chancellor Cui Shilian said: "The saints have such elite soldiers and strong generals, they can keep the country stable and worry-free."

In recent years, courtiers have often played to persuade the saint to reduce the number of troops.Now the soldiers of the various prefectures farm by themselves on weekdays. Although the military salary expenditure is not large, the property of the prefectural soldiers is real.The amount of land in the world has been fixed. Since the [-] years of Taiping, the land in the hands of the major families has been increasing, while the land awarded by the imperial court has been decreasing. There are frequent conflicts, and reducing the number of soldiers may be able to improve.However, although there are not many border wars, Li Yin's martial temperament has never been affected by the peaceful and prosperous times. He glanced at the army formation below, shook his head and said: "The soldiers of each government only go to battle for a hundred days a year, and they receive too little training. Although the tools are bright, they are actually weak. The guards in the capital have practiced more, but unfortunately there are not many soldiers, and they have not seen much blood. If there are troubled times again, I am afraid they will not be useful."

Cui Shilian said: "The sage is prepared for danger in times of peace, so why do troubled times come?" Cheers came from the army, and some soldiers and horses dragged some prey, including a yellow dog weighing more than a thousand catties. Who is it?"

General You Xiaowei smiled and said, "That's Zuo Lang General You Xing of Yiyi Mansion. He's only in his twenties, but his martial arts skills are superb."

Li Yin also looked over and nodded slightly, "There is a reward." As soon as the words fell, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, wrote down the specific rewards. After the Ministry of Rites discusses the specific rewards, they will be handed over to Honglu Temple for execution.

General You Xiaowei was overjoyed, someone from his subordinates came forward, and he gained face: "On behalf of You Lang, I will thank the sage for the reward."

On the other side, there was also cheering from Fengchenwei, which seemed to be louder than that of Xiaowei. Li Yin smiled when he saw the tiger brought by the soldiers, "Who hunted this tiger?"

General Wang Renyuan of Fengchen Wei Zuo said: "It's a nephew who is a worthless nephew in a humble position."

Li Yin nodded, "That's right, although he is not very old, he already has three parts of the prestige of General Wang."

In the army formation, Wang Dingfang was still thinking about the five-colored deer, feeling quite depressed, but he saw approving glances from the saint not far away.The emperor on horseback who dared to take the lead was like a god in the hearts of all the soldiers. Wang Dingfang's blood rushed to his brain immediately after seeing this, and his unhappiness was swept away.

Another shocking voice came from the Jinwu Guard, and all the soldiers shouted: "General Wei!"

The army separated, and a burly young general was riding a horse. More than a dozen horses behind him dragged a giant beast together. The giant beast was bound in a net, shaped like a bison, and its whole body was made of bronze, reflecting like blood in the setting sun. There is a thick jade horn with a length of three feet on the forehead, it is actually a green jade horn!
Some of the courtiers said in surprise: "It is Yujiao Cangguang. It is said that in ancient times, the ancestors of the people ordered this beast to be in charge of the boats. Such a strange beast appeared by the bank of Yujing City, and there has never been the slightest news. It's amazing, it's amazing. !"

Even Li Yin was quite moved, and after saying hello a few times, he urged Cheng Huang to go and see Qing Si in person.Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Yandang Ridge again. Under the twilight, one man and one horse came, leading a rainbow of five colors.
