The eastern outskirts of Winterfell is a forest full of forest beasts. When winter comes, the black needle trees all over the mountain are covered with white snow. Standing on the city gate and looking out, it is a very majestic scenery. However, it is only late autumn now.
At night, only a thin layer of cold frost accumulated on the ground, which cracked when stepped on.
Shen Qing rode silently behind Xiahou Zhan on his mighty yellow gelding. His mount was a black and heroic horse. His indifferent expression coupled with such a fine horse immediately revealed his unruly and aloof aura.
The private soldiers holding the flags were already waiting solemnly. The black Great Zhou Dynasty banners were flying wildly in the biting wind. Those who followed Fu Yanche out for hunting included not only the people from the general's palace, but also all the petty officials on the periphery, except for the maids who were dressed nearby.
, most of the people riding big horses are men, not many women.
Shen Qing, dressed in red and black, immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the scene. Although she is petite and thin, it does not affect her heroic appearance at all.
In the resting area of the hunting ground, there was still a hierarchical seating arrangement. Shen Qing got off the horse and saw Xue Yixuan, who was wearing grand makeup and solemn clothes. She also saw herself, but she just glanced at it with an indifferent expression, not
Pay more attention.
Shen Qing secretly felt funny. It was just a simple hunt, but she took it so seriously. She was afraid that the pink on her face would fall off as soon as she stood up.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw two other people. He paused for a moment, feeling that she had wrongly blamed Xue Yixuan. The most exaggerated one was probably Shen Ruyue! Her dazzling emerald green outfit was so funny that all the precious jewelry had been removed.
Wearing it on her body, she couldn't find any adjectives to praise her.
As her eyes moved, Shen Qing met Ji Liansi's slightly melancholy sad eyes. Shen Qing was stunned and nodded slightly to her. Ji Liansi immediately responded to her with a bright smile.
This move was a little awkward. Shen Qing didn't know what was wrong with her. She raised her eyebrows and continued to follow Xia Houzhan to his place in secret confusion.
There is a huge drum on each side of the hunting ground. It was probably used to boost the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield. It seems very harmonious to put it here today. The red and yellow drums were beaten by drummers, and the exciting drum sound shook the eastern suburbs.
The heaven and earth shook.
Shen Qing was a little confused at first. He was beating the drum so loudly when he was hunting. Was he chasing the prey? What else would he do later? Only later when he saw a group of guards with cold guns did he realize that the rules of royal hunting were all
Encircled a prescribed enclosure.
Therefore, in order to prevent the royal family from being harmed, some animals were circled for them to practice archery. After she thought about it, she found it boring. These royal family were really wasting people and money. This way of playing, it is better to go directly to the harem garden to circle the land.
…
Fu Yanche was still dressed elegantly, with an unpredictable smile on his handsome face. He only paused briefly when Shen Qingluo entered the room.
Amidst the sound of war drums, five men wearing simple armors and riding tall horses rode up. Among them, three were hussar generals of the Royal Guard, and two were generals of the Winterfell garrison.
That is, Xiahou Zhan's men.
Shen Qing recognized people by their appearance, so he had doubts in his heart, so he approached Baili Yunzhi and asked, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to hunt?"
"This season, many animals in the forest are stocking up on food for the winter, but most of the truly ferocious beasts will only come out to look for food when it's almost nightfall. It's still early now, and the Sixth Prince wants to see the Winterfell garrison.
Strength."
Look at the strength? Is this equivalent to accepting Xiahou Zhan's work results?
Shen Qing raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Yanche. He also happened to be looking towards her. Shen Qing did not avoid her eyes and stared at him blankly for a while. This man carried the supreme power of the royal family wherever he went, and he always
It gives people a sense of crisis that they can't figure out their thoughts. I really don't understand why Xue Yixuan regards him as a treasure.
Fu Yanche looked at Shen Qingluo and slowly smiled indifferently. Shen Qing turned away her eyes. People who live long have to see through the world of mortals. She has lived for two lifetimes and has long understood that men cannot be relied on. All in this world, there is only money.
The most reliable!
Xia Houzhan looked meaningfully at the woman next to him, and suddenly recalled what she had said in one sentence: "I don't like you." His stern eyebrows frowned slightly. Why did she always care so much about Fu Yanche?
"Reporting to the Sixth Prince, the archery competition is ready." The general at the deployment site knelt on one knee and spoke.
Fu Yanche sat upright with great interest and looked at the center of the hunting ground with twinkling eyes, "Okay, let's get started. This prince has wanted to see General Mo Yu's military training skills for a long time."
"Yes!" The general received the order and stood up to retreat.
As soon as the voice from this side fell, Xue Yixuan from the other side took over the words with great tacit understanding, "Of course I have to show some skills to come out and have a look. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the Holy Master's great grace to the Jingchu Warriors?"
Xia Houzhan was already in a bad mood, and Xue Yixuan's harsh words made him even more impatient, and he glared at her with cold eyes.
Xue Yixuan felt a slight chill and unnaturally turned his eyes away. He saw Shen Qingluo next to him again. His eyes moved and fell on the unicorn bone flute in her hand, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips.
I turned back to look at the hunting ground where the arrow competition began. The method of the competition was simple but also complicated. The purpose was to hit the target, but in front of each target was a bamboo tube about two meters long and about the size of a saucer.
The sharp arrow must pass through these bamboo tubes and hit the bullseye to be considered a winner.
This is already very difficult, but these bamboo tubes still have joints. If they encounter uneven joints, the speed and accuracy of a fast arrow will be weakened.
Shen Qing sat and watched, secretly sweating for Xia Houzhan's two subordinates. This was not testing their strength, it was simply an embarrassing attempt to defeat them! She felt worried, but Xia Houzhan beside her was
She had been sitting there calmly, as if she was still angry that she didn't know how to offend him.
Just as the first Imperial Guard soldier was about to appear, Xue Yixuan suddenly said, "Slow down."
Following the voice, everyone turned their attention back to Princess Xue. She became respectful and said, "Six Masters, how about we add some new ideas this time?"
"Oh?" Fu Yanche said tepidly, "What kind of new idea?"
"If the target is replaced by a human being, and the bullseye is the fruit on the person's head, wouldn't it be more exciting and interesting?"
The official Xianzui, Shen Qing and others present were shocked when they heard this. Let’s not talk about the probability of them hitting the target. It was originally an archery target, and it was just a matter of winning or losing wherever it hit. Now it is replaced by a human target.
The importance of bearing fruit is a matter of life!
Fu Yanche smiled happily and said, "It does sound more exciting than before. Okay, so who should I choose to be the person with the bull's-eye?"
