Chapter 111 The Hunt Begins

At this time, Mu Xu was riding a horse with four generals, mixed with the guards on both sides of the holy car, and beside him was Tu Rui who was also riding a horse.While looking around comfortably, Tu Rui sighed regretfully, "The emperor's grandmother is not in good health, and Brother Zhen has to stay with him, so he can't come together. He had been talking about this meeting before, but now he is left in the palace. Li, I still don't know how to be upset."

Mu Xu's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he replied, "Grandma's health is important. As for hunting at Iron Net Mountain, it's not just this year, but next year. Why should it be a pity." In the case of playing hard to get, it is already [-]% done now.

Although he felt that the emperor might have made careful arrangements, Mu Xu approached Tu Rui and reminded him in a low voice, "Remember to remind uncle and aunt later today that this hunt is not easy, so they should not walk around at random. And you, you must be careful when hunting. Stay by my side and never act on your own."

Tu Rui was taken aback, and wanted to ask Mu Xu why, but when he saw Mu Xu gesturing around with his eyes and shaking his head slightly, he realized that this is not the place to talk.Although he didn't know why Mu Xu said that, but he also knew that Mu Xu would definitely not be aimless, so he nodded slightly to show that he knew.

The two rode with the team for more than an hour. Tu Rui patted the black horse that Mu Xu gave him, and said, "Oh, I can't bear the bumping of my butt after riding this horse for a while. , I have to go to the carriage to rest for a while, cousin, do you want to go with me?"

Mu Xu shook his head, "I won't go, you can take a rest in the carriage, it is estimated that you will not be able to reach Iron Net Mountain until noon. By the way, remember to say hello to Uncle and the others for me."

Tu Rui understood what Mu Xu said, nodded in agreement, then turned the horse's head and ran to the back.

The team had been walking for half a day before they arrived at the temporary camp at the foot of the Iron Net Mountain. Mu Xu came to the camp assigned to him and ate some simple meals.While there was no one around, he took out a piece of soft armor from the space, carefully put it on under the robe, and hung a treasured knife around his waist, then left the tent, stood in the center of the camp, and looked towards the distance. Overlook of Iron Wire Mountain.

Iron Net Mountain is located [-] miles south of Shenjing City. It is a small mountain range, and its altitude will not exceed [-] meters.Because the royal family comes here to hunt every year, not only a large number of wild animals are kept on the mountain, but also there are special guards. People are forbidden to go up the mountain to chop firewood or poach on weekdays.Now all the intersections in Iron Net Mountain have been surrounded by Jingying troops, and smoke and dust can be seen rising from time to time, presumably those soldiers are driving away wild animals.

Because the holy driver had just arrived, and all the princes and ministers needed to be properly settled, the whole camp was chaotic all afternoon, and there were people tearing horses and screaming everywhere.Mu Xu brought the two generals to the camp where the minister was resettled, found a soldier who was patrolling nearby, and told him, "Take me to the camp of Lord Lin, the minister of household affairs."

This soldier didn't know Mu Xu, but he saw that Mu Xu was wearing a strong outfit, and he was carrying two powerful generals. Xu made a salute, "My lord, please follow me."

Mu Xu followed the soldier in the camp for a while, and came to a tent door on the left side. The soldier said, "My lord, this is where Lord Lin's camp is."

Mu Xu nodded to thank him and rewarded him with a small ingot of silver, the soldier took it and went happily.At this time, Lin Ruhai, who was resting in the tent, heard the movement outside, opened the curtain and walked out.

After the two had met, Mu Xu asked his family to guard the door, and he followed Lin Ruhai into the tent. Then he listened with his ears, and after confirming that no one was listening, he told the story of his entry into the palace last night. .

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai also felt that the emperor was well prepared, and the two discussed for a while. After Mu Xu told him to be careful about his own safety, and left two generals to accompany him to protect his safety, he returned to his camp.

Nothing happened all night, before the dawn of the second day, all the powerful troops participating in the hunting came out of the camp one after another, came outside the emperor's tent, and set up a circle according to the predetermined position.Afterwards, all the princes and ministers also came to the gate of the big tent with longbows and swords on their waists, and lined up on both sides in order of their official positions.

After everything was ready, the junior captain of Yilong Banwei came to the gate with the command flag in his hand, and respectfully invited the emperor to drive to the paddock.

Afterwards, Emperor Jiading walked out of the big tent in military uniform. He took the reins from the guards, got on his horse, and walked towards the paddock.Entering the paddock, Emperor Jiading stepped onto the high platform of the school field that had been built long ago, first made an announcement to the God of the Four Directions, then got off the high platform, remounted his horse, took the bow from the guard, and headed towards the center of the paddock. The princes and ministers behind and a group of soldiers followed naturally on horseback.

Seeing the emperor coming, the captain of the paddock, who had been prepared for a long time, waved the command flag quickly, and saw some wild deer and roe deer being driven in after a while.Seeing this, Emperor Jiading drove his horse forward and began to shoot arrows with his bow. The first arrow shot down a sika deer, and there was a burst of applause around him.It could be seen that he was in a good mood today, and then he shot a few roe deer before giving up.Then a living officer came forward and recorded the prey shot by the emperor one by one in the living note.

After the hunting in Jiading, he returned to the high platform of the school grounds. After giving an order, an eunuch came out to deliver the decree, "Your Majesty has an order, the hunting begins, and the winners will be rewarded."

Following the emperor's order, all the princes and grandchildren who participated in the hunting and the soldiers of the battalions rode out of the queue and rushed towards the periphery of the paddock.

Mu Xu was surrounded by the royal family and the children of the Xungui family, and Tu Qi was not far away from him. Remembering what happened in Chunxiang Tower last time, he immediately rode up to Mu Xu and said provocatively, "Mu family cousin Why don't you compete with your brother to see who can hunt more prey."

Before Mu Xu could reply, Tu Rui, who had full confidence in Mu Xu, replied, "Compare, compare, who is afraid of whom, then what do you mean by winning?"

Tu Qi pointed to the yellow puma under Mu Xu, "How about using my cousin's BMW as a bet?"

Mu Xu stroked the mane of the horse under his crotch lightly, and asked with a smile, "What about my cousin's prize, let alone your horse, I don't like it."

Seeing that Mu Xu was calm and calm, as if he had already won, Tu Qi was furious. He raised the black longbow in his hand, and said with disdain, "This is the Lingbao bow, and it is the bow of the parachutist Li Guang." All, now I take him as a lottery, is it enough?"

The princes and grandsons who were on the sidelines were in an uproar when they heard this, and most of them looked at the longbow in his hand with envy.There are also people who don't deal with Tu Qi on weekdays and don't like him showing off. For example, Tu Hao, the eldest son of King Zhongli, saw him sneer, "It's almost a thousand years since the beginning of Han Dynasty, you just take a bow and say yes Li Guang’s, who knows if you want to deceive Mu’s cousin’s BMW.” Then he spat on the ground, raised the sword in his hand, and gestured to the surroundings, “I also said that my sword is Where is Xuanyuan Sword!"

"Fart, I bought this bow for five thousand taels of silver, and it took a skilled craftsman three months to restore it. Why do you say it's fake?" There was an immediate rebuttal.

Unexpectedly, Tu Hao didn't like him anymore, instead he said to Mu Xu, "Cousin, I advise you, don't be fooled by some people, he has a criminal record."

Mu Xu clasped his fists and bowed to him, "Thank you cousin for reminding, but it's okay, I won't lose anyway, even if his longbow is fake, it doesn't matter, I will reward it to the generals in the mansion later, It’s also good to hunt some wild rabbits on weekdays.”

Seeing the tension between them, the people around were not in a hurry to go hunting, and gathered around to watch the excitement.When Tu Qi heard that Mu Xu and Tu Hao belittled him in such a harmonious way, his face turned red with anger. He knew that he couldn't speak up to the two of them, so he deliberately said aggressively, "Cousin Mu, don't you dare?"

Mu Xu grabbed Tu Rui who was about to speak, and replied to him, "Okay, since my cousin wants to gamble, then my younger brother will play with you. Tell me, how to gamble."

Tu Qi was obviously confident in his shooting skills, so he said, "Just use today's You hour as a limit, and let everyone present at that time prove it."

Tu Rui answered, "Then who knows if you will cheat?"

Hearing Tu Rui's words, Tu Qi was not in a hurry, obviously he was prepared, "Let's each send a family general to follow each other, so as to prevent each other from cheating, how about it?"

After hearing this, Mu Xu felt that his idea was good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then it's a deal."

　There are a lot of relatives in the family. Today is the fourth day of junior high school and there are still several families.
