Chapter 81 Hiring Goose(2/2)
Wild geese pass by in flocks.
Then came the eagle.
Xue Qingyin felt like she understood it!
King Xuan is here because there are eagles here.
An eagle suddenly flew across the sky. Xue Qingyin raised her head and watched helplessly as it swooped down, grabbed a wild goose, and immediately bit it hard, tearing open the skin.
Primitive and ferocious.
But it’s also very beautiful.
Xue Qingyin's breathing paused. But she reacted... Why didn't King Xuan draw the arrow and shoot it? Did I guess wrong?
The forest is lush and there are many birds.
After running around for a while, Xue Qingyin had seen eagles catching geese, sparrows, partridges, and even fish.
A long roar sounded in the distance above the head.
That's the cry of an eagle.
The sound was loud and harsh. Xue Qingyin squinted her eyes and looked up. The eagle was covered in golden and brown feathers, shining brightly in the sun, and its wingspan was more than nine feet.
He is taller than King Wei, Xue Qingyin thought.
If there is a king among eagles, then it can probably be regarded as the king of eagles.
When Xue Qingyin saw it spreading its wings and flying, a feeling of suffocation came over her.
King Xuan suddenly said: "Hurry up."
The horse suddenly ran faster.
Xue Qingyin reflexively pressed down on his thigh. At that moment, she could clearly feel his thigh muscles tightening.
Under her palm, it seemed as if a heart was inserted and beating rapidly.
Even Xue Qingyin herself became nervous.
Just as the horse was galloping, King Xuan suddenly let go of the reins.
Xue Qingyin's breath suffocated.
You can feel King Xuan arranging his bow and shooting arrows behind him, all in one go.
A "whoosh" sound sounded in my ears, carrying a strong wind.
That was the sound of an arrow leaving the string.
Before Xue Qingyin could react, she heard a "puff" sound. The arrow penetrated flesh and blood, fell down, passed through the layers of leaves, and finally landed heavily on the ground.
The sounds before and after are connected closely, but in the blink of an eye.
Du Hongxue, who had been following from a distance, immediately stepped forward on his horse, pressed forward, tied the eagle's feet, raised his face and said: "Your Highness, you are not dead yet."
Xue Qingyin sat on the horse and slowly came closer.
She gasped.
You told me this thing is an eagle?
Is this a fucking eagle?
She understands now.
His Royal Highness Prince Xuan had to pick the big one... He didn't like the small ones in front of him at all.
Thinking of the fact that geese are a pair, eagles also have to form a pair, right?
Xue Qingyin smacked her lips and couldn't tell what it felt like.
At this time, Du Hongxue took out the short knife he carried with him and was about to make a last strike.
Xue Qingyin felt a little pity.
She has never seen such a beautiful eagle.
"Can it be raised?" Xue Qingyin asked.
Moreover, an eagle that is so big and looks so special will be called a national first-level protected animal in future generations.
Du Hongxue paused and did not dare to answer. He first looked up at King Xuan.
King Xuan paused for a moment and said: "It can be raised."
Xue Qingyin said: "Then just raise them. It would be a pity to kill them." She paused and then asked: "Can such raptors hurt people?"
"There are people in the ghost army who are good at taming falcons." King Xuan said.
Xue Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
King Xuan said: "There is one missing Najili."
Xue Qingyin waved her hand: "Why bother with so much detail? The gift His Highness gave me today is exactly what I want, so that's enough, isn't it?"
"……Um."
On the way back, Xue Qingyin asked again: "Where is Guirong?"
King Xuan said: "The country outside the northwest frontier is called Guirong."
Xue Qingyin was disappointed: "Ah? It's so far away? How can we find the person who is good at taming falcons?"
King Xuan saw her disappointed look in his eyes, moved his lips and said, "It doesn't matter. I once captured Guirong in the past."
When Du Hongxue heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.
good.
Only one person was captured, which didn't sound like anything serious.
But that man was the former king of Guirong.
