The winter hunting was very grand, and Lin Xuan saw Li Chengqian and Li Tai in the crowd.
There are several other sons of Li Shimin around Li Chengqian who look a little younger than him.
Not only Li Shimin's son will participate in the winter hunting, but his brothers will also go.
Lin Xuan did a rough count and found that there were at least ten or twenty people there, good guys.
Some of them seem to be about the same age as Li Chengqian and others.
Li Shimin killed his own brother for the throne, but in order to restore his image, he was kind to his other brothers.
Even so, Li Shimin still guarded against them.
Although they were all granted the title of king, they were all kept in Chang'an by Li Shimin.
He believed that under his nose, these brothers could not change the world.
Lin Xuan and the others were not qualified to accompany him, so they waited for the imperial army to pass before they mounted their horses and followed behind.
On both sides of Chang'an Street, many people stood watching.
"Mom, I saw my brother." Lin Duoduo exclaimed in Lin Dongyang's arms.
The Lin family of three were also among the crowd.
Zhang Qing followed the direction pointed by his daughter, found Lin Xuan, and said with a smile: "My Xuan'er is so handsome."
Lin Xuan was riding a horse and carrying a spear, looking a bit handsome.
"Lin Xuan, Lord Lin was knighted by His Majesty at a young age. He has a bright future. If I had known, I should have arranged a marriage with your family." A businessman who knew Lin Dongyang said enviously.
In the past, everyone was a businessman, and their family assets were about the same.
Ever since Lin Xuan took over Keyun Tower, the Lin family's assets have surpassed his.
Later, for some unknown reason, he was awarded a knighthood, and he was instantly different from them.
"Haha, no prizes, no prizes." Lin Dongyang said with a somewhat proud smile.
Now that the family is not short of money and he has a title, Lin Dongyang no longer values money so much.
"Brother Lin, is Lord Lin in need of a concubine? You have seen my daughter, she is as beautiful as a flower." The businessman said in a flirtatious tone.
He has never thought about his first wife. The Lin family is also a noble now, so it is impossible to marry a businessman's daughter as his first wife.
He thought that he would be very satisfied if his daughter could be Lin Xuan's concubine.
It's not that he hasn't thought about other lords, but they also look down on him.
"I'll ask my son when he comes back." Lin Dongyang was a little moved.
He only has Lin Xuan as his son, and if he could give him a grandson early, he would be satisfied.
It's not that he doesn't want to find a real wife for Lin Xuan, it's mainly that the people he knows are businessmen.
With his family's current status, he would definitely look down on those businessmen's daughters.
Although he was a little moved, he did not agree. He knew that Lin Xuan knew many people.
What if someone Lin Xuan knew wanted to marry his daughter to him, and he gave his son a concubine, what would people think?
Lin Xuan didn't know that his parents and sister were looking at him in the crowd, and he didn't know that Lin Dongyang had even thought about having a grandson. There were too many people and he couldn't see him.
The Qinling Mountains are located at the northern foot of Chang'an City, and the royal hunting ground is right next to the Qinling Mountains.
To say it is a hunting ground means to set aside a mountain range outside the Qinling Mountains, and no other people are allowed to hunt here.
Tens of thousands of troops arrived half a month in advance to blockade that area. Otherwise, assassins would ambush in advance and assassinate Li Shimin, which would have been a lot of fun.
The large army left Chang'an City and it took them two hours to finally arrive.
In fact, the journey is not very far. The main reason is that there are too many people and a lot of supplies, which slows down the progress.
When we arrived at the royal hunting ground, it was already noon, so we definitely couldn't hunt.
Under the command of the Forbidden Army, Lin Xuan and the others found a place to set up camp.
The camps of Cheng Chumo and others were nearby, and they had made an appointment to go together at that time.
Liu Da and the others were skilled in setting up the camp, so this was not a problem for them.
After the camp was set up, the stove was lit, and when the temperature fully rose, Lin Xuan felt much warmer.
Liu Da and the others took out the snacks they brought and handed them to Lin Xuan.
"I'm so full and have nothing to do. Why hunt when it's so cold in winter?" Lin Xuan ate the cold snacks and cursed in his mind.
After traveling such a long way and struggling all morning, I couldn't even get anything hot to eat.
After eating a little casually, I felt less hungry, so Lin Xuan stopped eating.
Lin Xuan felt a little tired and lay down on the camp bed to take a rest.
Before he fell asleep, Liu Da walked in and said to Lin Xuan: "Your Majesty will change horses during hunting in the afternoon."
"Change a horse? Why change a horse? The horse was quite docile before." Lin Xuan was stunned.
Although the horse he rides is not a thousand-mile horse, it can still be considered a good horse.
Although Lin Xuan is not short of money, a thousand-mile horse is so rare that even if he has money, there is no place to buy one.
"I just checked the horse and found that the horse's hoofs are worn a lot. It will be a waste to keep riding," Liu Da said.
Lin Xuan was stunned and said, "What? I've only been riding for a whole morning, and you're telling me that my horse is dead?"
"Because the road leading to the Qinling Mountains is not an official road and the road is not very good, that's why the horseshoes wear out so quickly." Liu Da explained.
"How long will the horse need to rest?" Lin Xuan asked.
He only brought three horses. If he rode one for half a day, he would have no horse to ride tomorrow afternoon.
When the time comes, people will hunt on horseback, and he will hunt on foot without making people laugh to death.
Liu Da knew what Lin Xuan was worried about, and said: "Sir, when you are hunting, we can't all follow you, or we won't be without horses."
Lin Xuan was right when he thought about it. If everyone brought all their own soldiers, they would scare away everything and there would be no hunting.
However, Lin Xuan was still preparing to go back for the winter hunt to find someone to shoe the horse.
Although he didn't know how to make horseshoes, it was just to put shoes on horses, and he would just ask someone to study it when the time comes.
Otherwise, it would be too wasteful. Although he has money, he doesn't use it like this.
And after I get the horseshoes out, I can present them to Li Shimin, and maybe I can become a marquis or something.
At a certain time, it sounded better than his current earl.
"Lin Xuan, what are you doing? You've started hunting." Cheng Chumo shouted.
Lin Xuan came out of the camp and saw Cheng Chumo and the others, each with five soldiers and a bow.
I looked over to Li Shimin's camp and saw figures walking around, getting ready to set off.
"Liu Da asked four more people to go hunting with me, while the others stayed at the camp." Liu Xuan said.
"yes!"
Liu Da explained the situation and selected the four with the highest martial arts skills. They followed Lin Xuan with bows and arrows.
"Are we following His Majesty?" Lin Xuan asked.
Yuchi Baolin said very experiencedly: "There are so many people in that direction, and there are not many prey there. Let's go in the opposite direction."
Lin Xuan nodded. The Qinling Mountains were very big. If they followed Li Shimin and the others, they would not be afraid of missing prey.
But there are too many people there. Can they not be polite when they meet Li Shimin? Lin Xuan doesn't want to cause trouble.
Everyone got on their horses and headed for the Qinling Mountains.
