Chapter 816 Autumn Hunting(2/3)
After Zhu Hongyu arrived at the hunting ground, he was pulled directly by Qi Qi to watch her hunt.
Kaya, who was born as a Nanyang mountaineer, also followed on horseback, carrying a bow and arrow.
Qiqige is not the only one who has mastered hunting skills since she was a child, but Kaya can do it too.
From a very young age, she started holding a hunting bow and hunting with her father and brother in the mountains of Luzon.
Zhu Hongyu's other concubines also wanted to follow, but they couldn't ride horses and shoot arrows. They could only hunt rabbits, foxes and other small animals.
They can't get involved in things like hunting large beasts.
Zhu Hongyu, on the other hand, was heading for the large beast.
Li Lingxiu showed her role as the mother of the world and took other concubines in the harem and the female relatives of the ministers to hunt together.
She changed into a very heroic hunting outfit and looked heroic.
Holding a musket in his hand, he stood behind the fence, aimed at a deer in the distance, and then pulled the trigger.
There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit the deer's feet, raising a cloud of smoke.
The fawn was frightened and ran away quickly.
Li Lingxiu put down the musket in his hand and did not feel embarrassed, so he just spoke.
"I haven't touched a gun in many years, which makes everyone laugh."
When a group of female relatives heard this, they just spoke.
"Your Majesty, there is no way you can miss her. She is obviously a benevolent mother who has a benevolent heart in the world and cannot kill her at the sight of her."
"Your Majesty is much stronger than us. We people can't even load a musket..."
Li Lingxiu said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, no one needs to flatter me."
"Let's go play each other! My female family members are very restrained on weekdays, but now that we finally come out, we don't have to be restrained anymore."
After Li Lingxiu finished speaking, the women dispersed, shooting guns and shooting arrows.
Although the fight was lively for a while, the animals that were penned in the hunting grounds were not harmed.
Obviously, these women's marksmanship and archery skills are not very good.
However, they didn't really come to hunt. Except for a few people, everyone else fired a few shots each for meaning, and then gathered together to drink tea, chat, and socialize.
This is the purpose of these women participating in the Autumn Hunting. To put it bluntly, it is to socialize for their men.
Not really here to play!
Li Lingxiu was surrounded by many female relatives of court officials, and a group of people were chattering about something. Li Lingxiu smiled, nodded, and interjected from time to time, with a very well-controlled posture.
After being pampered and pampered for such a long time, her demeanor as the mother of a country and her care for the world is very prominent.
On the other side, Zhu Hongyu and a group of distinguished ministers in the court were really hunting.
Horses galloped on the hunting ground, and the mighty soldiers drove the prey on horseback, driving a large number of prey into the hunting ground.
Zhu Hongyu clamped his legs on the horse's belly and stepped out of the crowd. The horse under his crotch stretched its body wantonly and was very strong.
This horse from the plateau gallops like the wind, dazzling like a black lightning.
While the war horse was galloping, Zhu Hongyu also let go of the horse's reins with both hands, bent his bow and nocked an arrow.
The strong bow with a bow strength of one stone was stretched like a full moon, and the arrow made of fine steel reflected the cold light and made a crunching sound.
The next moment, Zhu Hongyu loosened his fingers holding the bowstring.
With a crashing sound, an arrow shot through the air.
The sharp arrow instantly penetrated the throat of a wild wolf and nailed it to the ground.
The wild wolf let out a shrill howl and soon became silent.
Zhu Hongyu was very strong, and the bow he used was naturally a specially made strong bow, which was very lethal.
Zhu Hongyu bent his bow like a full moon and fired arrows in succession.
There were endless sounds of bow strings trembling, and one after another prey was shot and fell to the ground.
In order to cope with this autumn hunting, Zhu Hongyu specially trained his riding and shooting skills.
Although he couldn't hit 100 times at this time, he still hit seven or eight out of ten shots.
The skill Zhu Hongyu is showing now is no worse than some cavalry who are good at riding and shooting!
Seeing Zhu Hongyu's heroic act of killing his prey with arrows, the accompanying DPRK officials and the surrounding guards cheered loudly.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Your Majesty's perfect shot!"
"..."
After Zhu Hongyu emptied his quiver, he did not immediately ride back to the team. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and drew out the musket placed beside the saddle.
Aim at the prey, pull the trigger, and do it in one go.
Bang! Bang bang!
The gunfire rang out, Zhu Hongyu kept pulling the trigger, emptying the revolver in his hand, killing several beasts one after another, and then he put the gun back to the saddle with satisfaction.
Then he rode back to the group.
Seeing everyone's eyes turned towards him, Zhu Hongyu said with a smile.
"Haha, I haven't practiced riding and shooting for a long time, so I feel quite rusty."
Faced with Zhu Hongyu's self-effacement, everyone around him spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty's marksmanship is far inferior to that of a humble minister!"
"Your majesty is so majestic and majestic that you have the legacy of the great ancestor Taizu. He is truly a blessing to our Ming Dynasty and to the whole world."
"..."
Everyone felt lucky to face such a young and heroic emperor.
Because the younger Zhu Hongyu is now, the longer he can stay in power.
In this case, it can stabilize the people of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent, who were turbulent due to the change of dynasties.
This makes the ambitious people in the world dare not risk the disapproval of the world and make trouble!
The younger and more heroic Zhu Hongyu is, and the better he is at fighting, the less likely he is to kill heroes, and the heroes in the court will have more room to perform.
Go and fight to find a wife and a son, hereditary and irreplaceable.
Otherwise, if you encounter an emperor who likes to kill heroes, all the ministers in the court will be numb.
Being able to follow an emperor like Zhu Hongyu was considered a blessing to many ministers.
Qi Qige on the side saw Zhu Hongyu showing off his power, and her big eyes were full of admiration, like tiny sparkling stars.
Qiqige rode all the way to him and said.
"Your Majesty, I also want to go hunting!"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes, leaned into Zhu Hongyu's ear, and said in an eccentric way.
"I am going to hunt a sika deer for Your Majesty. I promise to present the freshest deer blood and antlers to Your Majesty."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Hongyu's response, she rode away.
There were bursts of laughter like silver bells.
Qiqige is riding a horse with a heroic figure. She is slim and graceful, and her buttocks and saddle form an alluring arc.
Riding on horseback, holding a bow and arrow, she has a wild charm about her.
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, he just chuckled and was not angry.
This little girl is provoking him now, and she will be rewarded tonight!
Kaya on the side heard what Qiqige said just now, her eyes lit up, she leaned over to Zhu Hongyu's ear and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I am also going to hunt a sika deer to present to Your Majesty!"
After saying that, she rode into the hunting ground.
Zhu Hongyu's mouth twitched, but he didn't take it to heart. He just turned around and said to the ministers around him.
"Let's all go hunting on our own!"
"Whoever catches the most prey during today's autumn hunting will be given a hundred gold coins and can drink with me!"
Zhu Hongyu revealed the lottery number.
After his words fell, the heirs of the noble families rode into the hunting ground.
Many people have made up their minds to compete for the lottery offered by the emperor.
