As soon as the drum beats, the procession officially begins.
Brother Jiu has a thousand miles of eyes in his hand.
He stood up, raised his clairvoyant eyes, and looked at where the flags were.
As the cavalry galloped, countless smoke and flying birds were stirred up.
The ninth elder brother first looked in the direction of the red flag where the tenth elder brother was, but could not see anything.
The tenth prince is next to the third prince in the north, and the seventh prince is in the south.
These two are powerful enemies.
Although Xingwei has drawn a general area, the deer herd is moving.
The seventh elder brother is not good at snatching prey, but the third elder brother is not sure.
Brother Jiu was a little worried.
This rule does not prohibit robbing the herd of deer, and the third elder brother cannot take advantage of it.
He looked due east again, where the white flag led by the fifth elder brother was located.
This location is not good either. Above it is the yellow flag of the Thirteenth Prince, and below it is the white flag of the Fourth Prince.
The bodyguards and escorts of the banner with yellow flags are all carefully selected. They have strong soldiers and horses, and their combat power is the first among the eight banners. The fourth prince here with the white flag only has half the combat strength, but there is also an emperor's father who is in high spirits.
Brother Ninth looked south again.
To the southwest is the Xianglan Banner led by the eldest brother, and to the southeast is the Zhenglan Banner led by the eighth brother.
Huh?
Brother Jiu discovered the difference between the two teams.
The encirclement team with blue flags was extremely fast, flying in all directions. While other teams were still driving away their prey, they were already about to conduct their first encirclement.
As expected, someone who has led soldiers twice is different from others.
The Zhenglan flag is interesting.
Like a sharp sword, they concentrated in one direction and did not scatter the five hundred soldiers like other teams.
Brother Jiu sneered, this was someone trying to flatter him.
Others in the paddock don't know where the deer roam, but the people in the paddock know it.
I had taken advantage of this last time and hired veterans who were familiar with the paddock to conduct the investigation. Is it considered that Brother Eight was "imitating others" this time?
Orundai was watching from the side, but without his clairvoyance, he couldn't see clearly. He stood next to Brother Ninth and stopped talking.
Brother Jiu looked around and had an idea.
One is the eldest brother and the other is the eighth brother. They will occupy two of the top three.
I just don’t know who the third place is.
The remaining people can't see the difference, and anyone may be in last place.
Just wait and watch the excitement.
He noticed Orundai's hot gaze and handed Qianli Mu over.
"Thank you Jiuye..."
Orundai took it, thanked him casually, and couldn't wait to look at it.
The ninth elder brother stood next to him. He thought he would look to the east, where the white flag with the fourth elder brother and the emperor's father was there, or the yellow flag in the north, but it turned out that the direction he was looking at was in the southeast.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but look in his direction.
Southeast, Zhenglan Banner, Ba Age...
Zhenglan Banner territory.
The eighth prince led the officers and soldiers of Zhenglan Banner and arrived at the locations of several deer herds.
But are these deer herds too close?
A herd of deer, next to a herd of deer.
The eighth prince was happy at first, but then realized something was wrong.
There are scattered pastures on the ground.
It's freezing cold now, and there's a lot of dead grass in the paddock, but after a winter of gnawing, it's almost done.
This scattered pasture should be the reason why the deer are stranded.
The eighth prince looked north and immediately broke into a cold sweat.
To the north it is bordered by a white flag.
On the border with the white flag, the fourth prince holds the flag, with the emperor's father as his deputy.
Seeing that his bodyguards and convoys were about to move forward to drive the newly discovered deer into the group, Eighth Prince hurriedly spoke.
"God is blessed with good things. There are many deer and lambs in this herd. Surround the others first!"
The Zhenglan Banner Guards Commander and Guards School who followed did not quite agree with what Eighth Prince said.
Today is for hunting, not worshiping Buddha.
But who said that the Eighth Prince was the master? Everyone looked at each other, but still listened to the order and let the deer in front of them go.
Only the guards of Ba Beile Mansion noticed something was wrong and followed Ba Age without moving.
The eighth prince whispered a few instructions to Fucheng, then turned his horse's head and headed towards the surrounding team.
Fu Cheng brought several guards and stayed there.
When the surrounding team was out of sight, a few people moved to drive the deer north.
Someone didn't quite understand and said, "Master Fu, this is a big herd of deer, at least there are hundreds of them. What does Master Ba mean?"
Fu Cheng said: "The Eighth Master has always respected the Fourth Master. Over there is the boundary with a white flag."
"Eighth master is benevolent and righteous..."
The guards all praised in unison and continued to drive the deer north...
…
Bordered with white flags.
Si Age, as the flag-bearing coach, also released his troops. The 500 men were divided into five teams and attacked on all sides.
This method is conservative, but effective. It will not scare away the deer, but can drive the deer over as far as possible.
As for the 100 people who didn't move, they were divided into several teams. Specialized people took deer whistles and blew the deer whistles to lure the deer to a fixed place.
When they returned from the first outflank, Si Age and Kangxi discovered that the team in the south had only driven away a small herd of deer. Compared with other directions, a large piece of deer was missing, which was very conspicuous.
But he couldn't care about this at the moment. As the deer herd surrounded him, everyone drew their bows.
Kangxi had long wanted to loosen his muscles and bones, holding a seven-power bow in his hand.
"Whizzing……"
Either shoot into the deer's eye or the deer's neck, and the arrow will not miss the target.
Looking at the dead deer, Kangxi felt pleased with himself.
His skills are still as good as before.
The fourth elder brother was holding his own bow and was a little hesitant.
He really couldn't achieve such precision as the emperor's father.
However, he knew that ability was ability and attitude was attitude. He was already shooting arrows with a bow, but he changed the direction and aimed at the big deer in front of him.
Naturally, the arrows hit such a big target, and the arrows always hit the deer.
It's just that he didn't have enough strength, so the arrow shot shallowly.
However, there are still hundreds of guards and soldiers present.
After Kangxi and Si Age opened fire, others followed suit.
No beast in the circle is immune.
The place is full of deer roaring...
On the observation pavilion, Orundai held his clairvoyance and saw all the movements of the Zhenglan Flag.
He frowned, as if he didn't understand.
Brother Jiu was waiting for Qianli Mu, and when he saw this, he reached out and asked for it.
However, he did not see the change in Elundai's expression, nor did he look towards the Zhenglan flag, but instead looked towards the direction of the Zhenghong flag.
The tenth prince is also going to complete the first round, but I don’t know what the result will be.
In addition to the individual achievements of the princes mentioned by Kangxi, the total capture of each banner must also be calculated.
The latter has luck in it.
Although the tenth brother is not concerned about rankings, the ninth brother does not want him to really be in last place and become the "bastard prince" in the mouth of the Eight Banners.
After watching Tenth Prince, he still watched Fifth Prince.
People are close and distant, and he wants to see jokes, but he doesn’t want to see the jokes about the tenth elder brother and the fifth elder brother.
Then, he looked at the white flag and the blue flag in two directions.
The encirclement with the white flag was so fast, and we were also aiming for third place.
Gee, the top three are very intense.
He looked to the north with a bit of schadenfreude.
The third elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are not as lucky.
The northern part of the paddock where the two men were located happened to be where the Three Flags marched last month.
The herds of deer that were active here were all hunted down at that time.
Even if a new herd of deer fills in this month, it will definitely not be as numerous as the deer herds in other parts of the paddock.
If there were no accidents, the total results of these two flags would be the last and second last.
It all depends on personal performance, whether the two of them can compete better.
After Brother Jiu had finished reading, he put down his clairvoyance and sat down again.
There is no need to read, all that is left is to wait for the results to come out.
Orundai didn't look at it either.
After the men and horses of each banner surrounded them one after another, what was left was hunting. Looking at it like this, you couldn't see anything clearly.
Brother Jiu was bored and looked at Elundai and said: "Master Hubei just looked at the direction of the Zhenglan Flag. Are you optimistic about the direction of the Zhenglan Flag?"
Elundai said: "When the eighth elder brother was in the study, the servant was at the guard's office and was ordered to teach the eighth elder brother archery."
"ha?"
The ninth elder brother did not expect that Elundai and the eighth elder brother had such a connection.
No wonder Elundai pays more attention to the eighth prince among the princes.
The eighth prince's performance in riding and shooting was good today, and Orundai's face was bright. If his performance was not good, the emperor would not think of it and would give him a few words of reprimand.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but think of Cao Yin.
That is also his own archery master.
It's a pity that I can't make Cao Yin look good.
Brother Ninth said he didn't want to talk to Elundai anymore.
Two hours passed very quickly.
Brother Jiu, the "ordering" officer, held a pocket watch and kept track of the time.
When the time came, Orundai ordered people to go down and blow the snails.
He is a tall and strong man nearly six feet tall. He is one of the two brave men who were commended during the tiger hunt yesterday.
The conch was a foot and a half long. When the conch was blown, the man's face turned red and the veins on his neck popped out.
Brother Jiu looked on, his lips twitching.
It can be seen that this man is very powerful, and most people really can't blow the conch trumpet.
"Woo...Woo...Woo..."
The sound of conch shells was distant and spread throughout the paddock.
The siege is officially over.
All banners began to withdraw their troops.
The guards from the guard office had already gone to each flag line to count the results.
Brother Jiu and Orundai also got off the watch pavilion and rode back to the palace to wait...

From now on, if there is no time before 0 o'clock, it will be the next day, and I will not stay up late. I will ensure double updates first, and the third update will be dropped from time to time.
