Once the prey is in position, the hunt finally begins.
Emperor Tian Zuo wore a golden fish-scale tiger armor, a sun-piercing tassel on his head, and rode a big green horse.
The brocade saddle is inlaid with gold and silver, and the bridle is gilded with silver. On both sides of the saddle are withered flowers, a golden beard bow, and gold-lacquered flying cloud arrows. He is powerful without anger, and he is proud of the world.
He really looked like a destined emperor and the co-lord of all nine continents. Everyone shouted long live, the sound was earth-shattering and spread throughout the Duck River, all over the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Surrounded by everyone, Emperor Tian Zuo galloped on his horse and drew his bow and arrows.
I saw horses like dragons, arrows like lightning, and one after another prey fell under the arrows of Emperor Tian Zuo. The soldiers piled the prey in one place, and soon they piled up into a hill.
Roe deer, elk, sika deer, antelope... they open their eyes wide and never close their eyes.
We were eating grass happily, but you didn't say anything, and just shot an arrow at us. The most hateful thing is that you actually tied our feet, so that we could only stand there but couldn't move.
Do you still have any humanity at all?
Looking at dozens of prey, Emperor Tianzuo fully demonstrated his archery and riding skills. He looked around at the people around him with pride and asked proudly.
"Are my archery skills passable?"
"Your Majesty's archery skills should be the best in the world!" Yeluas immediately added.
"Your Majesty's archery skills are unparalleled throughout the ages and should be ranked number one among emperors throughout the ages!" Xiao Fengxian raised Emperor Tianzuo's archery skills to a historical level from another angle, expanding from space to time.
Sure enough, they were really the crouching dragons and phoenixes of Daliao. The two of them joined forces to make Emperor Tian Zuo so happy that he could even see his molars in his smile.
The ministers all around showed flattering smiles and had different thoughts.
After Emperor Tianzuo finished laughing, he asked again.
"Can my archery skills be better than those of the officials of the Song Dynasty?"
The scene was silent for more than ten seconds. Just when Yeluasi and Xiao Fengxian didn't know how to answer, Li Yan replied calmly.
"The arrows your Majesty shoots are the arrows of a king. He has compassion for heaven and earth, and has heaven and earth in his heart. He conquers the world with his virtue, and the whole world will obey him. He will surely become a king. What the officials of the Song Dynasty shot are the arrows of a hegemon. They resorted to military violence, and the country was poor and the people were exhausted. They conquered the people with strength.
It is difficult for a person to achieve great things if he talks about his differences. Why did Your Majesty lower his status to compare with the officials of the Song Dynasty?"
hiss--!
Ouch——!
Gasps, sighs of surprise, and various subtle sounds came out according to personal moods.
He is truly an old man who has stood firm for two dynasties.
Emperor Tianzuo was even happier. He immediately issued an order to give Li Yan a pair of Ruyi jade, six boxes of golden barley seeds, two boxes of Dongzhu, and one coral...
On a hill in the hunting ground, dozens of large tents had been set up. There were tables inside, filled with fine wine, delicious food, and all kinds of fresh fruits.
Xiao Duoli, the queen of Emperor Tianzuo, was sitting lazily in the middle of the largest tent. Sitting on the left was her son Yelu Yali, the king of Liang.
Sitting on the left is Brother Xiao Gui, the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty. Next to him are King Yelu Ding of Qin, King Yelu Ning of Xu, and princesses Yelu Oriyan, Yelu Da Ouye, and Yelu Ci Ouye.
All five of them were born to brother Xiao Gui.
Sitting on the right is Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, and next to her are the King of Jin Yelu Aolu Ao and the princess Yelu Yuliyan. The two were born to Xiao Sese.
In a remote place, sitting alone was the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo, King Yelu Xinilie of Raole County. His mother was Zhao Zhaorong, who died young.
Emperor Tianzuo walked in majestically. Empress Xiao, the two concubines and the princes and princesses stood up one after another and bowed their hands in greeting.
"I have met Your Majesty."
"Everyone, sit down. The hunting and bidding among the warriors is about to begin. It's very exciting. Sit down and watch." Emperor Tian Zuo smiled and waved his hand, sitting next to Empress Xiao.
The horn of the horn sounded, and the warriors selected by the Khitan and Xi people were riding on their horses and eager to try. In previous years, Emperor Tian Zuo rewarded people generously for hunting and bidding. As long as they use all their skills to win the top five, they will receive official positions and rewards, which are enough to last a lifetime.
.
There was a five-year hiatus due to the chaos in the Northeast. Everyone was depressed and thought about squandering all the energy and energy they had accumulated for five years in this hunt.
The drums suddenly sounded, and hundreds of warriors from all tribes flew out one after another like arrows. The horses' hooves flew, the sound was like thunder. The horses were as fast as lightning, and the people were as agile as apes.
Soon, hundreds of knights formed a semicircle with a radius of one mile and headed towards the vast hunting ground.
Various animals in the hunting ground sensed danger. Their feet were not secretly tied, and they fled in all directions. The cavalry quickly divided into countless black spots and chased the prey.
The sound of the string was heard one after another, and the prey fell to the ground in response to the string, twitching and whining on the ground. The hunter didn't even look at it, and continued to move forward on his horse, chasing other prey.
Hundreds of warriors lost their arrows, and they all had numbers on them. When you finally count the prey, just look at the numbers on the arrow shafts.
Sitting in the tent on the hill, the entire hunting ground was unobstructed. Seeing the figures of hundreds of warriors as vigorous as the wind, Emperor Tianzuo looked overjoyed.
"The warriors under my command are as brave as wolves and tigers, and they are the most brave in the world. Zhao Shisan, with a group of weak southern barbarians, can he train an elite soldier? What kind of four flags can he raise shamelessly? Haha!"
Empress Xiao comforted her and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao family's son was just lucky for a moment. Buddha once said that people cannot rely solely on luck in this life. Moreover, he is cruel and unjust, and he will be punished sooner or later."
Emperor Tianzuo was convinced, and he immediately felt that he was protected by the aura of the Buddha, and that he was one level higher than Zhao Si, who did not believe in Buddhism.
It’s not that I won’t report it, it’s that the time has not come yet! Zhao Shisan, just wait, sooner or later I will avenge my shame!
An hour passed and the hunting was over. The sergeants in charge of the alert gathered the prey together, and then the scribes began to count and register them.
A man pulled out the prey and missed the arrow. After seeing the number on the arrow shaft, he began to report: "A roe deer, number B seventy-nine!"
If there are several arrows on a prey at the same time, it depends on which arrow hits the vital point. If they all hit the vital point, it depends on which arrow shoots deep.
However this is rarely the case.
The hunting ground is so large and there are so many preys that the warriors do not have to snatch the same prey. Moreover, there are dozens of knights responsible for supervision in the hunting ground, scattered everywhere, wandering around to supervise these warriors and prohibit cheating.
The other person wrote on the book. The third person was supervising everything.
It was done in a stylish and very fair manner.
After counting, the Khitan and Xi clan warriors who were watching around felt that something was wrong.
There were four richly dressed men, with their heads raised and their chins tilted up, looking very proud.
One of them is Yelu Asi's nephew, one is Xiao Fengxian's brother-in-law, one is Yelu Chun's nephew, and the other is the younger brother of a certain concubine in the palace.
When we were hunting just now, these four people were dancing slowly, as if they were on an outing. At that time, everyone thought they knew they were not good at riding and shooting, so they simply gave up, but they didn't expect that they could still have such a skill.
Some irritable warriors raised their voices and asked. The registration clerks retorted unceremoniously: "We all drew arrows to register in front of everyone, how could we fake it?"
After that, a scribe pulled out an arrow from the prey and showed it to everyone with the number on the arrow shaft.
"Look, No. 26 is the arrow from Yelu Wude."
Yelu Wude is the nephew of Yelu Asi. When the scribe said this, everyone was speechless.
Several experienced warriors suddenly discovered a problem. Some of the arrows on the prey were missing, and they looked like they had been reinserted into the wounds.
It turned out that when gathering prey, someone acted as a ghost, pulled out other people's arrows, and secretly inserted the arrows of these four people into the wounds.
Is this justified?
The noise of the warriors reached the tent, and Emperor Tian Zuo heard it. He frowned and said to Yelu Yujian who was in the tent next to him: "Aiqing is the commander-in-chief of this hunt. Go and see what's going on?"
"
"yes!"
Xiao Feng, who was in the tent on the other side, felt guilty and quickly stood up to report, "I'll go take a look together."
Emperor Tianzuo didn't comment, just waved his hand and let the two of them do what they wanted. This chapter has been completed!
