...After a fierce fight, most of the wild beasts in the jungle were captured alive, and even a wild pheasant was not spared. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, all this seems to be too exaggerated, if Shao Yan hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
, and he couldn't believe it was true, because he lived in a feudal and backward ancient times. Unlike modern times, which require technology and weapons, people at this time used the most primitive weapons, such as
Bows, crossbows, guns, knives, swords, spears, shields, axes, axes, halberds, etc. These things are usually used for fighting, and they can be used for self-defense. If they are used to deal with these ferocious beasts, they are really a bit uncomfortable.
It's within your capabilities
In fact, when Shao Yan just led the army to rush in, his heart was beating very hard, and the hairs on his body stood up. The hunters were risking their lives, and he didn't want to get himself involved. At first, he just wanted to pass through the people.
The sea battle drove away these ferocious beasts. Who knew that these beasts were so vulnerable, and they were subdued in a few moments.
Shao Yan knew very well that most of the credit for the complete victory in this 'human-animal war' should be attributed to these hunters. Although they were small in number, they had excellent hunting skills and tenacious fighting spirit. He always made clear rewards and punishments.
But since he didn't carry much silver with him, he had to ask Deng Bingtang to write down their contributions on his behalf and reward them with a lot of money in the future.
These hunters are poor people in the mountains. They usually make a living by hunting. If they are lucky, they can shoot a wild boar a day. If they are not lucky, they can shoot a few hares, pheasants, etc. Now they have captured so many alive at once.
In normal times, they wouldn't even dare to think about ferocious beasts. What's even more valuable is that they can still see the current emperor.
This remote and remote place, where no outsiders come all year round, now welcomes the True Dragon Emperor. The hunters have lived in the mountains all their lives and have never seen much of the world. Now that they heard the emperor awarding them a reward, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
That's good. Thanks to Chang Yixiao's reminder, they knew they had to kneel down to express gratitude...
During this hunting operation, a total of three white tigers, fifty hares, four wild boars, and thirty pheasants were shot and killed. Countless prey, large and small, were captured alive.
Subsequently, a large group of people drove dozens of beasts, and under the guidance of the hunters, they headed all the way into the mountains. The old hunters told Shao Yan that the area of dozens of miles around here is collectively called Badaling. If it is divided into smaller parts, there are tigers among them.
There are more than 20 valleys such as Peacock Ridge, Lion Ridge, Ostrich Ridge, etc. Each valley is three feet apart and can only accommodate two people at most.
The old hunter was very familiar with the terrain in this area, so Shao Yan and others did not have to worry about getting lost. After going around several mountain roads, they finally climbed over the last mountain. The old hunter stood on the top of the mountain and pointed to the farm in the distance, happily
He said: "Your Majesty, look, that is Yannan Pass."
Yannanguan, the name sounds good, Shaoyan stands on the top of the mountain, overlooking the rows of short houses made of loess. From a distance, it looks like a small fortress built by the Kuomintang, with different heights and the afterglow of the setting sun.
The light shining on it made those loess walls even more dazzling. To be honest, the scenery around here is really good. There are mountains and water, and there is a faint rural atmosphere in the air. Shao Yan closed his eyes, opened his arms and said
a deep breath
The old Orion said kindly: "It is a blessing for the people of Yannan Pass that the Emperor can come to Yannan Pass. You and all your lords can rest assured that as long as our fellow villagers in Yannan Pass are still alive, the two countries of Liang and Chu will be together."
Those beasts don’t want to come in.”
"Yes, they come one, let's kill one, come two, kill a pair" shouted an Orion
"That's right, these bastards are killing our compatriots everywhere. Even if they can get in, they can't even hope to get out alive."
"If these bastards who have been punished by a thousand cuts want to come in, they must first ask if we agree with the forks in our hands." The angry hunter said as he stabbed the fork in the ground.
…
The Orions vented their anger with words and words. It seemed that they had been bullied by Liang Bing and Chu Bing in the past. Now they all pinned all their hopes on the new emperor of Donglin Kingdom.
After Shao Yan heard this, he was both moved and sad. He was touched that he, an emperor in trouble, could still receive such enthusiastic support from the people. What was sad was that as the king of a country, instead of being able to benefit the people, he was more like a human being.
A lost dog
"In my opinion, we have come to the right place. Your Majesty, you see the beautiful scenery here, why not set up your palace here?" Before Shao Yan could speak, Li Changsheng said with a grin.
Deng Bingtang and the civil and military ministers present nodded in agreement. Shao Yan did not think deeply. He had never expected to build a palace, just an ordinary house. Just when he was about to express what he meant, he heard Chang smile.
He said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this. A few days ago, General Zhang Baihu ordered people to build a palace, and he is waiting for the emperor to drive there."
The ministers were surprised and happy. Shao Yan was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, this Zhang Baihu is quite fast. Is he going to build a lot of construction there?
The old hunter seemed to see what he was thinking, so he chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. General Zhang knows that the Emperor cares about the people and doesn't like extravagance and waste, so he just renovated a ruined temple in the village."
Shao Yan nodded reassuringly: "Zhang Baihu did the right thing. It's a troubled time now, so it's better to keep everything simple."
Deng Bingtang, Bai Ruxue, and Mu Ying all agreed with his point of view, but the civil and military ministers were full of anger. Li Changsheng seemed a little dissatisfied, and said casually: "It is necessary to be simple, but what place should he choose to be Zhang Baihu?
You chose a dilapidated temple as your palace. Your Majesty is so noble, how can you live in a place like that? This is too unbecoming."
The ministers of civil and military affairs joined in and joined in. On the surface, they were complaining for the emperor, but in fact they were slapping Xiao Jiujiu for himself. Shao Yan was upset when he heard this, so he suppressed his anger, gave Li Changsheng a hard look and said:
"If General Li feels you are not used to living there, I will have someone build you a luxurious mansion. The same goes for all of you ministers and ministers. You followed me all the way to this southwest. Naturally, I cannot treat you badly. In this way,
, you will live with me from now on.”
How could the ministers not know that there was something behind the emperor's words? They hurriedly gathered together and said: "I am waiting in fear." Li Changsheng lowered his head uneasily and did not speak.
Shao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to them, and then walked down the mountain with a large group of people. Looking down from the mountain, Yannan Pass was not a big area, but once he stepped inside, Shao Yan was completely confused. There were seven people inside and outside the city.
There are eight spacious roads, each of which is like a main road leading to the city. Walking on the streets, you can't tell the difference between east, west and north. In order not to scare the people in the city, Shao Yan ordered Chang Yixiao to lead a group of people and lead them to the city.
Those beasts that were captured alive found a secluded place and were locked up
At this moment, both sides of the streets are lined with people. The scene can be described as a sea of people, crowded and noisy. Fortunately, there are soldiers on both sides of the road to guard, otherwise they will be crushed to death if they are not trampled to death.
Shao Yan was wearing an ordinary piece of armor today and he blended into the team. He couldn't recognize him for a moment. Many people began to question the huge team. Before that, they had heard from the hunters in the village that the emperor was going to move.
I drove here, but after looking for a long time, I didn’t see anyone wearing a dragon robe. Many people were wondering, could it be that the news was wrong? The emperor didn’t come to us at all?... The emperor doesn’t want to go to a remote place like this.
Will come
People in the mountains have never seen people in the capital. They only know that the emperor must wear dragon robes all the time, so their eyes have been searching for the golden clothes in the team, eager to see the emperor for the first time.
Shao Yan sat on the horse and glanced at the patched people one by one. Among them there were some who were more decently dressed and looked like businessmen, but people dressed like this were just that.
Apart from a few others, the main force is still the poor people.
Seeing those pairs of curious eyes wandering around, Shao Yan felt very warm inside, and even felt like he had returned to his hometown. Indeed, the atmosphere here was so similar to his hometown.
At this time, the old Orion, holding a long fork, walked in front and shouted loudly: "Folks, come and see the current Holy Emperor!"
There was a moment of commotion in the crowd, and then it became quiet again. The onlookers followed the direction of the old hunter's finger, and all their eyes turned to Shao Yan. Many people couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, the emperor is so handsome and young."
Those who said this were all well-dressed women. They looked at Shao Yan infatuatedly. Some of them forgot about it and fainted.
Nymphomaniac! These were the two words that Shao Yan thought of first. The white snow behind him made Mu Ying cover her lips and chuckle. Shao Yan pretended to be serious and coughed twice. The two of them hurriedly pretended to be serious and continued on.
On the way
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, a thousand lives, a thousand lives!" At this moment, someone in the crowd took the lead in shouting, and all the people in the streets knelt down and shouted.
The first half of the sentence was quite reasonable, but the second half seemed a bit exaggerated. Shao Yan wanted to laugh when he heard it. It seems that these fellow villagers have regarded Ruxue and Mu Ying as my concubines. Hehe, these two girls were still laughing just now.
I, let me see what you will do this time?
Bai Ruxue, Mu Ying's face turned red, and she wanted to shake her head and defend, but the people's emotions were rising, and their voices became louder and louder, like a sea lang, one lang after another, and there was no chance for the two of them to speak.
I had to pretend to be real and wave to them with a smile.
The team passed through two streets, and there were a lot fewer people on the roadside. The soldiers changed from the original three-step post to one-step post, and it was still two people and two posts. Even their clothes were changed to those of the Imperial Guards.
With the golden armor, Shao Yan guessed that the palace was nearby. Sure enough, after a while, he saw a huge, brand-new palace appearing in front of him.
Golden walls, golden columns, golden lions, golden archways... Shao Yan was dazzled by the sight. Although the 'gorgeous' palace in front of him looked similar to the previous palace in every aspect, upon closer inspection,
, but we can also find many rough places, which are obviously modified from the original ones.
Shao Yan was very satisfied and immediately led all the ministers to go inside. The palace was divided into six gates. Each gate was closely guarded by the imperial guards. Even the palace maids and eunuchs were ready. It has to be said that Zhang Lian was at home.
There is still a touch of craftsmanship in the decoration. If he could travel to modern times, he would definitely be a rare architectural designer.
Just as he was thinking about it with relish, Zhang Baihu personally led a team of imperial troops to greet him. Shao Yan was immediately overjoyed, and then he praised his ingenuity in front of the ministers. The civil and military ministers took advantage of the situation.
He was walking around and patting the horse.
…
That night, Shao Yan lay on the bed very early. Although the 'dragon couch' was not as comfortable as before, he was still very happy. After running around for so long, he finally had a home to settle down in.
Not happy?
He slept soundly that night...
The next morning, Shao Yan, accompanied by Bai Ruxue, Mu Ying, Chang Yixiao, and Zhang Huaide, came to the place where wild beasts were imprisoned. There were four white tigers, three lionesses, five cheetahs, and
some other small animals
This place is more than five miles away from the palace. Shao Yan is not worried that they will disturb him to rest at night, but he just considers that keeping them in a cage for a long time is not an option. Moreover, he has trained them to be "one of the best" from the beginning.
The idea of a super killer, if you have an idea, you have to do it, this is his consistent style
When those ferocious beasts saw their 'enemies' coming, they kept howling and jumping around in the cage, with fierce looks on their faces and bared teeth, eager to break out of the cage to take revenge on them.
Shao Yan said he was not afraid, but he was definitely lying. The wild beasts' crazy actions made him a little worried, so he casually asked Chang Yixiao: "Yixiao, is this cage strong?"
Chang Yi smiled childishly, patted his chest and said: "No problem, my subordinate recently hired the best master to make an iron cage. It is hard and incomparable..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a "boom" sound, and a huge female lion broke an iron rod, and its right paw suddenly stretched out from it. Shao Yan was standing next to it at the moment, the lioness
He looked very angry and kicked him hard with his paws.
