Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 146 Competing Prey
The night gradually fell, and the sound of noise sounded outside the woods.Countless torches illuminate this place like daylight.

A thin young man patted a fat young man, and he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face: "Guess how many prey you killed for brother today."

"Still a brother? I'm obviously older than you, be careful I'll tell your father to go."The overweight young man glanced at the thin young man with disdain.

The skinny young man completely ignored him: "Just you? I don't think so."

"Why do you still dare to look down on people? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of your father."The overweight young man hopped his feet anxiously.

The skinny young man ignored it completely: "Fatty tell me, how many prey did you kill today."

"Three, three hares...".When the overweight young man mentioned three hares, he showed an embarrassed expression.

The thin young man exaggeratedly held his forehead, feeling dizzy: "Don't tell me, you only killed three hares today. My God, you brought forty private soldiers."

"three……".As soon as the overweight young man spoke, he felt that the loser could not lose, so he cheered himself up: "Three is not bad, but I think you may not be able to beat three."

"Pooh".Feeling underestimated, the skinny young man spit out a mouthful of contempt, and waved his hands behind him: "Bring it up to show this fat man."

Dozens of private soldiers, carrying eight hares, came over with a deer.

The thin young man triumphantly pointed at the dead body of a deer, and looked at the fat young man: "How about you take it this time?"

"You're just lucky."The overweight young man replied stiffly.

Such discussion scenes are everywhere, Zhao Yu looked at the crowd in front of him, listened to their comments, and looked at Xue Qian: "You said why the fourth brother hasn't recovered yet, maybe it's because of the return letter?" ".

"No, we have already negotiated in the forest this afternoon. Since the fourth son wants to compare, he must still be hunting in the forest at this time."Xue Qian shook his head slightly, thinking of the scene when he and Zhao Wuming parted in the forest for an hour and a half, he expressed his objection without thinking.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo who were playing with the cubs, and felt a little emotional: "If the fourth brother insisted on refusing to use the corpses of those two tigers as his prey, why did he go hunting in such a tight time frame? , now that it’s getting late and I can’t tell the direction, there are so many wild beasts inside, I’m afraid it will be dangerous.”

"Prince, don't forget the guards around him. The guards around the fourth son should be fine."Xue Qian thought of the look of astonishment when he saw nearly [-] guards in light armor when he left.When I came here, there were only a hundred people around the fourth prince, but there were nearly four hundred people in the forest. The speed of the fourth prince's mansion mobilizing troops was amazing.

When Zhao Yu heard Xue Qian's words, a shadow cast over his heart.Dispel this idea as soon as it appeared. The fourth brother said that an elite group of more than ten thousand people was secretly stationed outside the city. Perhaps this elite group is not far from here, which is why those guards came so quickly.Thinking of this, he replied to Xue Qian with a pun: "Maybe it's because I'm lonely and worrying too much."

"Prince, do you think the guards around the fourth son are the elite selected from the army of the public clan, or why are they all wearing light armor?"Xue Qian seemed to have thought of something, and asked Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu shook his head slightly, not wanting to say anything more on this topic.At this time, the more power in Zhao Wuming's hands, the more likely his side will win.So at this time, I can't allow myself to think too much, and I can't think too much.

Seeing that Zhao Yu was silent, Xue Qian knew that he didn't want to ask more questions. The sound of footsteps interrupted the silence. Zhao Jia walked over and looked around: "Why didn't you see the fourth son?"

"What's the matter with your fourth brother?"Hearing Zhao Jia's question, Zhao Yu suddenly became firm in his heart. The ten thousand soldiers that Zhao Wuming mentioned must have come from the Gong clan.Since the 30 soldiers and horses came to the Gong clan, they were among the 1 Gong clan army held by Handan and Wei.How did the father find out, which army and horse was promised by the public to the fourth brother? .Such an explanation would make sense. The fourth brother must have negotiated with the older generation of the Gong clan. Those people gave him an army of [-] people in order to repay the favor.Thinking of this, all doubts in my heart disappeared, and I felt a little guilty towards Zhao Wuming.Make up your mind that you should not have doubts about your fourth brother in the future.

When Zhao Jia heard the question, he showed a slight smile: "I have always heard from my grandfather that the four young masters hunted tigers and killed bears. Since we have a hunting competition together today, we must take a look."

"Look, it's simple."After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he yelled to Zhao Yong who was not far away: "Yong'er, you and Zimo bring the cub together."

"coming".Zhao Yong agreed casually, and looked at Xue Zimo: "Let's report these two little tigers."

"kindness".Xue Zimo nodded, happily walking towards Zhao Yu with Zhao Yong holding a cub in his arms.

Zhao Jia looked at the two cubs, and was slightly taken aback: "Where did the cubs come from?"

"My uncle gave it, how do you look at it?".Zhao Yong is like getting a beloved toy, and he can't wait to spread it all over the world.

Xue Zimo was not to be outdone: "This is given by the fourth son, and Wang Sun and I each have one."

"The cub the fourth son gave you?"Zhao Jia was shocked, looking around as if looking for something: "Where are the adult tigers? If there are cubs, he must have hunted and killed the adult tigers."

"Uncle ordered the guards around him to bring the tiger's body back to the mansion."Seeing Zhao Jia's shocked look, Zhao Yong quickly explained to him.

Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Yong with unbelievable eyes: "What did you say? The fourth son brought the tiger's corpse back to the mansion? This time the hunt is based on the prey to determine the ranking. Could it be that the fourth son carried the tiger's body back to the mansion? I just don’t want to compete with me for these rankings.”

"Uncle said that the two tigers were not the work of him alone, so he can't take those two tigers into the ranking."Zhao Yong thought of what Zhao Wuming said when he left, and relayed to Zhao Jia.

Two Tigers?Zhao Jia suddenly felt that he couldn't react, and his mind went blank for a while: "You said that the fourth son hunted two tigers?".

Because Zhao Jia was too excited, his voice was a bit too loud.The people who were still talking about it fell silent for a moment.After a while, he realized that he looked at Zhao Jia with unison, and the voice of discussion suddenly rose.

"Two tigers?".

"The fourth son hunted two tigers again? How is this possible?"

"And? How do you call it again?".

"Last year, the four masters hunted and killed two tigers and one giant bear. This time, they were able to kill tigers, which is really unbelievable."

"Hey, I thought I would compete for the first place this time, but I didn't expect the fourth son to be so fierce."

"In the future, if there are four young masters in hunting, I will not fight, and I will bow down."

"No, where is the tiger's body? Where is the tiger's body?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone reacted, and their eyes searched everywhere.After looking for a long time, I didn't see the tiger's body, and I didn't even see Zhao Wuming's figure.

"Scare me? Where is the tiger here?"

"Not to mention the fierce tiger, I didn't even see the figure of the fourth son."

"Why didn't I see the figure of the Fourth Young Master?"

"Why are you talking again and again."

"Didn't the fourth son leave without saying goodbye?"

"Last time was okay, at least I saw the corpses of the tiger and the giant bear, but this time I didn't see a single shadow."

At this moment, the two cubs walked under the flames unintentionally, and everyone was startled.

"Young tiger, where did the young tiger come from?".

"How can there be two ends?".

"Aren't cubs hard to come by?".

"Who the hell can get to this?"

A sound of exclamation and inquiries spread, and everyone looked at the two cubs in unison, trying to understand the whole story.

The dense sound of horseshoes sounded, and Zhao Wuming came galloping on horses with Sun Buer and more than [-] personal guards.

When everyone heard the voice, they hurriedly looked over and saw that it was Zhao Wuming who all bowed and bowed: "I've seen the fourth son."

"Wu Ming is late, I am really sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he threw down a deer on the horse's back: "We will set up a bonfire later, and grill the venison meat, it will be considered as a little kindness of my son."

"Fourth Young Master, this deer is not enough for everyone."Zhao Jia walked towards Zhao Wuming and laughed and joked when he saw the deer.

Zhao Wuming got off his horse with Sun Buer and more than [-] guards: "Are you sure it's not enough?".

"Could it be that the fourth son has more prey?"Zhao Jia seemed to understand the meaning of the words, and asked Zhao Wuming back.

Everyone looked at the road in unison, shook their heads involuntarily, and began to discuss.

"It's also a good idea to set up a bonfire to barbecue prey at night."

"It's just that there are too few deer."

"It's okay, I will take out all the prey I hunted today for everyone to enjoy together."

"How can I make my elder brother specialize in the former? Although the younger brother is not talented, he is willing to share it with the general."

Zhao Wuming watched these people show the behavior of sharing their prey, a smile flickered on the corner of his mouth.Looking around, everyone was silent. Seeing the silence here, Zhao Wuming turned and looked at the more than [-] guards behind him: "Bring them all up."

"promise".More than [-] personal guards suddenly agreed, and wild animals were carried up one by one, including pheasants, wild sheep, wild boars, hares, deer, and all kinds of birds.

Zhao Wuming looked around the crowd again, saw Zhao Yu and Xue Qian approaching, and asked them: "Everyone, these wild things are enough."

"Enough is enough, but it always feels like something is missing."Zhao Jia came to his senses from being stunned, and seeing that everyone present hadn't reacted, he subconsciously asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming didn't answer, and looked at the guards behind him: "Bring those two big guys up."

"promise".Several personal guards carried the giant bear with both ends dead for a long time.

Everyone was in an uproar, and Zhao Yu couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, how did you kill so many prey in such a short time?"

"After parting from elder brother and Captain Xue, the younger brother played a trick. Let the guards separate to go hunting, so in a short period of time, so many prey were hunted."Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Yu.

Hearing Zhao Wuming's explanation, Zhao Yu showed a worried look, and warned him for a while: "Fourth brother, this move is too dangerous. I hope you will think twice about everything in the future."

"The elder brother's words will be kept in mind by the younger brother."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he turned his eyes to everyone: "I don't know if these prey are enough or not."

"Enough, enough...".Everyone responded one after another.

Zhao Wuming continued to propose to them: "Since it is enough, I propose. There is no ranking in this hunting, each party will take out their prey, set up a bonfire and share it with everyone. Those guards are also successful in hunting here. No, we can celebrate together."

"Follow the son's order."Everyone bowed to take orders, and then the prey was taken out.Campfires were lit everywhere, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
