Chapter 399

Since the death of King Rong, the Queen Mother has lost her greatest support in the army. If the Queen Mother can successfully join the line of Zhenbei Hou, it will be tantamount to taking down the entire Southern Region Army, and even Qin Shuo in the army. In the old part of the Northern Territory, this is equivalent to one and a half, or close to two regions, all returning to the Queen Mother. When the thirteen princes ascended the throne, it was a matter of course that the Queen Mother listened to the government behind the curtain.

It's just that the only variable now is the attitude of Zhenbei Marquis Qin Shuo. Whether Qin Shuo will really support the Thirteenth Prince is really hard to say.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has always been a royalist party, a neutral faction, not involved in any faction of seizing the throne, and Qin Shuo is also different from ordinary generals, Qin Shuo is a man with a brain, and he will definitely not easily lean towards any side.

Where the future situation will go and what roles everyone will play in this coming storm are all unknowns. Li Wu stared at the dancing flames and fell into deep thought.

**
On the second day, the Forbidden Army was still busy, and the people who had spent two days from the crisis couldn't stay idle.

Early in the morning, the fifth prince, Li Yunhong, appeared outside the camp of Duke Cheng'en's mansion.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin!" Li Yun raised his voice, and he yelled before anyone stepped into the big tent. The sound made the birds that had rested on the top of the big tent early in the morning flutter away.

"Xiao Jin, are you up?" Li Yunhong asked loudly while entering through the curtain.

Xiao Jin: "..."

Cousin, with such a loud voice, you can wake up even a hibernating black bear, not to mention me who has suffered from insomnia for most of the night.

Xiao Jin sat up helplessly from the bed, opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, and looked at Li Yunhong who walked in.

Li Yunhong: "You're awake, cousin, let's go, pack up, let's go hunting."

Xiao Jin looked at the excited Li Yunhong, and tried to persuade him: "Cousin, your father has not been found yet. Are you going hunting now because you want to be drowned by the spittle of the courtiers?"

Li Yunhong asked strangely: "It doesn't matter if my father didn't find it, does it matter whether I go hunting or not? Could it be that if I don't go hunting, father will be able to find it?"

Xiao Jin: "That's not the reason. What I mean is that you are a son of man, and your father is missing. You should be worried and sad. You look like nothing, and you go hunting happily. What an unfilial son who doesn't care about his father!"

Li Yunhong was a little unhappy, and he muttered: "But you can't never find His Majesty, so you can't let me go to play, I finally came to Shuoye Hunting Ground, after so many days, I went out in a serious manner After two times, it’s really boring. If we don’t hurry up, we may have to return to Beijing soon.”

Xiao Jin: Well, what I said just now is in vain, the silly cousin is still thinking about hunting.

Xiao Jin had a headache, and persuaded again: "It's for your mother and concubine, you don't want Concubine Shu to be blamed by the queen because of you, right?"

"But I came to you only after seeking the permission of my concubine mother. Concubine mother specifically told me to take a rabbit home. She wants to keep it for fun."

Xiao Jin: "??"

Seeing Xiao Jin's puzzled look, Li Yunhong repeated Concubine Shu's words to Xiao Jin: "Mother Concubine said, anyway, our family has no power and power, and is destined to have no chance of being on the throne, so there is no need to pretend. How did you come here? Besides, at this juncture, the more you do some stupid things, the more reassured the empress will be. She knows that you are not interested in the throne, and you will be safer. As for what others think, you don't care As for him, let them talk, we won't lose a piece of meat."

Concubine Shu's words left Xiao Jin speechless. Although it was unreasonable, Xiao Jin had to admit that what Concubine Shu said was indeed correct.

"So, don't worry, let's go, I'm going to suffocate if I don't go out." Li Yunhong said.

Xiao Jin knew that Li Yunhong couldn't sit still with a long nail in his butt, and was tortured by him, so he finally compromised.

Seeing that Xiao Jin agreed, Li Yunhong was very happy, and said again: "Should I call Cousin Yufu together? There are more people and it will be more lively."

Xiao Jin waved his hand and said, "The words can't be wiped away."

"Why?"

Xiao Jin raised his finger and pointed at the space between his and Li Yunhong's eyebrows, and reminded: "Did you forget? Because of Faheng's sorcery, we still have a hole in the space between our eyebrows. It doesn't matter if we are men, but Yu Fu is a girl. Not good, there is a scar between the eyebrows, but it will be disfigured."

Li Yunhong immediately understood what Po meant to a girl, so he immediately shook his head and waved his hands and said, "Then don't call me Cousin Yufu, let her recover from her wounds, but don't leave any scars."

In the end, Li Yunhong didn't meet any more leisurely people, so he could only go hunting with Xiao Jin.

When Li Yunhong and Xiao Jin left the camp, they happened to run into Li Pan. The three met Li, and Li Pan asked, "Where are you going, Your Highness and Shizi?"

Xiao Jin originally wanted to hide it, but he didn't expect Li Yunhong's words to be faster than him. Li Yunhong shrugged happily, showed Li Pan the bow and arrow behind him, and said, "We are going to hunt!"

As he said that, he still looked like a stubborn man, and warmly invited Li Pan: "Master Li, do you want to come together? Relax, I think you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, can your body handle it?"

Li Pan: "..."

Thank you for your warm invitation. My body is just like what you said, and I can't bear it anymore, so I still don't participate in such exciting sports as hunting.

Li Pan slandered in his heart, and looked at the fifth prince in front of him at the same time. He didn't have much contact with the fifth prince, but every time he came into contact with this prince, he could give himself a new surprise. Not only is he not worried about being a son of man, but he still has time to go hunting. Li Pan couldn't help mourning for Emperor Yongjia in his heart. He could easily question it, so Li Pan respectfully rejected the fifth prince and continued to work.

Li Yunhong and Xiao Jin looked at the back of Li Pan, Xiao Jin glanced back at Li Yunhong, and said: "Fortunately, we met Li Pan, if we met an old guy from Yushitai, we would be scolded standing here die."

Li Yunhong didn't take it seriously and said: "If that's the case, we can just run away. Anyway, those old guys have old arms and legs, so they must not be able to run away from us."

Xiao Jin: "..."

He couldn't refute it, because Li Yunhong really did this kind of thing when he was in the capital. He couldn't remember exactly why Li Yunhong was impeached by Yushitai. Shi Tai's saliva was drooling, and he let Li Yunhong go to court to be scolded in a rage, but he didn't want Li Yunhong to take that kind of routine at all, he ran out of Shangjing without even saying hello, and wandered outside for two or three months before He wobbled back to Beijing, and by the time he returned to Beijing, that incident had already become a thing of the past, and no one mentioned it. The only official from Yushitai who was worried about that incident was because of Li Yunhong's Sao operation, impeachment failed, so every time I saw Li Yunhong, I was like an angry alpaca, almost spitting on Li Yunhong.

However, the Fifth Prince's ability to develop such an unscrupulous temperament is more or less inherited from the genes of the Xiao family's ancestors. Xiao Jin looked at Li Yunhong, who was riding ahead like a second idiot, shaking his head, and thought to himself, in the Xiao family In his whole life, Li Yunhong was actually the one who resembled Mrs. Xiao the most, he was unrestrained, and he went with whatever he wanted. Xiao Jin sometimes thought that it was good for his cousin, because he and Yufu had been immersed in the aristocratic family circle for too long, it was inevitable that they would be Influenced by the rules of the aristocratic family, with restraints, life becomes a bit impenetrable. On the contrary, the cousin, who has always maintained a pure heart, is happy every day, and it makes people happy to watch.

This is probably the reason why his father and mother like Li Yunhong so much, who doesn't like a kid who loves to laugh.

Just as Xiao Jin was thinking, Li Yunhong suddenly called out ahead, "Xiao Jin, there is a gazelle ahead!"

Xiao Jin hurriedly looked into the distance, and really saw a group of gazelles a hundred paces away from them, and there looked to be more than thirty gazelles from a distance.

Yellow mutton is a good thing. It is a good nourishing product in winter. Xiao Jin swallowed his saliva and put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He wanted to eat hot pot with mutton.

"Come on, you go from the left, I go from the right, let's outflank two ways, hunt two yellow sheep and go back, and have mutton hot pot tonight!" Li Yunhong obviously wanted to get together with Xiao Jin, and said to Xiao Jin with great interest.

Xiao Jin cheered up, nodded at Li Yunhong, and turned to the left according to what Li Yunhong said. This is a lowland with a leeward wind, and there is a small stream flowing through the lowland. The green color is very different, so the yellow sheep gather here to drink water and graze.

The gazelle group didn't notice the approach of Li Yunhong and Xiao Jin, and they were still eating grass and drinking water with peace of mind. Li Yunhong observed in the dark for a while, and noticed a lonely gazelle. Li Yunhong confirmed Xiao Jin's location again. He found that the distance between Xiao Jin and himself happened to encircle the gazelle alone, so he stopped hesitating, turned his back with one hand and drew out an arrow, and aimed at the gazelle with the bow. The gazelle grazing with its head down seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up.

At this moment, Li Yunhong released the arrow from the fully drawn bow, and the arrow shot out towards the gazelle with a strong momentum.

The flock of sheep was startled by the sound of arrows piercing through the air, and ran away in all directions. The lone gazelle had been alerted for a long time, and ran away as soon as it heard the sound, and Li Yunhong's arrow just grazed the gazelle's buttocks and shot. empty.

But just at this time, Xiao Jin rushed out from the left obliquely, and shot three arrows at the running gazelle. The first arrow forced the gazelle to change its escape route, and the second arrow blocked the gazelle. With Li Yunhong's support on the right, the gazelle, which could only flee to the left, ushered in Xiao Jin's third arrow, and the third arrow hit the gazelle's neck.

With a "boom", the gazelle, which was shot at the fatal point, fell down.

Seeing that Xiao Jin had succeeded, Li Yunhong cheered and rushed over.

"Xiao Jin, great job! We have the mutton hot pot for tonight!"

Xiao Jin looked at the prey on the ground and was also very happy. This gazelle was very big, comparable in size to an adult buffalo, and it was enough for them to eat several meals.Only now there is a problem, how will they get this sheep back.

Xiao Jin thought for a while and said, "I'll stay here and watch, cousin, you go back and ask some guards to drag a food cart back."

"No, I'll stay here, you go back and call someone." Li Yunhong said, he had just come out, and his interest had just gotten up, so he didn't want to go back like this, so he didn't wait for Xiao Jin to agree, he waved his horsewhip, He ran away immediately, and at the same time, a voice came from afar, "I will hunt two rabbits after I go to the mother, and I will leave it to you to call people when I go back."

Xiao Jin: "..."

After a while, Li Yunhong ran away and disappeared. Xiao Jin had no choice but to go back and call for someone without complaint.

Li Yunhong felt that he had almost run, so he slowed down the speed of the horse. It was still early, and he was not in a hurry. He walked with confidence all the way, carefully observing whether there were any rabbit nests on the ground.

Rabbits are the most common species on the prairie besides mice. Li Yunhong thought it would not be difficult to bring two rabbits back to Concubine Shu to raise. No, after walking around for a while, Li Yunhong saw a rabbit running past him.

The rabbit ran very fast, and Li Yunhong was worried that it would disappear into the nest, so he drove his horse to chase after the rabbit.

Li Yunhong is a fun guy, especially good at hunting, so his horseback riding skills are natural. I saw him clamping the horse's belly to urge the horse to sprint, and at the same time he set up the arrow feathers on the bumpy horse's back, then narrowed his eyes slightly, Aiming at the running rabbit, he shot the arrow out with a swish.

The moment he shot it, Li Yunhong was sure that the arrow would hit, but his confidence was obviously no match for Jiehu. Before the sharp arrow hit the rabbit, there was a sudden gust of wind in the sky, followed by An eagle's cry resounded through the sky, and then Li Yunhong watched helplessly as an eagle suddenly appeared in the sky and caught the rabbit on the ground to the sky.

Li Yunhong: "..."

This sudden cutting of the beard was something Li Yunhong never expected. He was stunned for two seconds, and then another eagle cry piercing the sky brought him back to his senses.

Li Yunhong couldn't understand the birdsong, but he felt that he heard the meaning of provocation in the two arrogant birdsongs.

Who is Li Yunhong? He is a well-known dandy in Shangjing. He is the one who walks sideways. He has never been cut off from other people. He has never been cut off by others, but now he is given by a bird. Cut it off, it's not even a human being, if Li Yunhong could bear it, he wouldn't be the famous Li Wuye in Shangjing.

So without saying a word, he waved his horsewhip and chased the eagle in the direction where the eagle was flying away. With that brave posture, he vowed to shoot that damned stinky bird into the sky.

And this time he chased him, he actually chased something that shocked the entire Great Xia government...
