"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Wang Huaien said worriedly.
Zhao Jun squinted his eyes and said calmly:
"Don't worry, they are just a group of remnants of the era, they still want to make waves now, they think too highly of themselves.
Now that the guests are here, as hosts we naturally have to look after them and entertain them, and let all the secret guards along the way keep an eye on them and keep track of their location at all times so as not to lose them.
I will prepare some small gifts for them. I will treat them as a meeting gift from this junior to these old guys! "
"My lord, they are all..."
Zhao Jun raised his hand and stopped Wang Huaien's words: "Wang Banban, times have changed. Today's era, especially in our Yunzhou County, is no longer the time for these old guys to show their authority. You can Just wait and see.
I asked you to arrange things as soon as possible. Don't delay me as I prepare meeting gifts for the old guys! "
Wang Huai'en opened his mouth, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I obey, my lord, you have to be more careful. Our entire Yunzhou County cannot lose you as the backbone. Your lord, you must put your own safety first!"
"Okay, okay, I cherish my life more than you do, so hurry up and go!"
Zhao Jun urged impatiently, and Wang Huai'en had to leave quickly.
After Wang Huaien left, Zhao Jun thought for a while and walked quickly towards the yard where Zhao Duan was.
It didn't take long to get here. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhao Duan who was exercising by playing Baduanjin.
Seeing that the old man was halfway through the beating, Zhao Jun did not make a sound, and just stood there quietly waiting for the old man to finish his activity.
After a long time, the old man finally finished his set of Ba Duan Jin. While taking the towel from Cao Shuang's hand to wipe his sweat, Zhao Duan looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and asked:
"Why are you coming to my courtyard this early in the morning? Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Jun smiled and nodded, and then said: "I thought, old man, you have been here for so long and have been wandering around Yunzhou City, and you haven't gone to the grassland to see it yet.
It happens to be spring now, and the grassland is no longer as white as it is in winter.
How about I take you and Lao Taishan to hunt on the grassland in four days, shooting rabbits, foxes and wolves? "
Zhao Duan looked at him carefully for a long time, and then said with a strange expression: "Why do you suddenly think of taking me hunting?"
Zhao Jun chuckled: "I just remembered it all of a sudden!"
Zhao Duan glanced at him suspiciously again, but he didn't really see anything so he nodded and agreed.
"Okay! Let's go experience it when the time comes, but I didn't bring any harness or anything like that. You can provide it!"
"no problem!"
Zhao Jun agreed immediately.
…
Time is like a fleeting moment, slipping away in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the day of hunting arrived.
Early that morning, Zhao Jun and the others left the city and headed east.
This time, only three men, Zhao Jun, Zhao Duan, and Ye Wei, as well as a group of guards and two old eunuchs, Cao Shuang, followed.
Ye Yin originally wanted to come with him, but Zhao Jun stayed at home and refused to let him follow.
As if she had noticed something, Ye Yin did not insist. She silently watched three men in military uniforms in front of the palace early in the morning as they rode away in high spirits to go hunting.
Winter has passed, and the snow on the grassland has almost melted. With a few drizzles the day before yesterday, the vegetation that was buried under the snow all winter stretched out freely, dyeing the entire grassland again. A piece of green.
And this green color not only means that the vibrant spring is coming, but also means that the skinny animals that have been hungry for a whole winter are also in need of a meal.
The animals ran out of their hiding places and looked for food everywhere. This made the grassland that had been silent all winter become noisy and lively, making it easier to find prey!
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow pierced the air and flew across the grassland at an extremely fast speed. In the next moment, a gray rabbit that had just ran out of the hole and chewed the grass twice was hit by the arrow that shot directly through its body. On the ground, he struggled a few times and then completely lost his life!
"Hahahaha! Okay! Old Taishan is so good at archery! I didn't expect you to get this good start, Old Taishan. I admire you! I admire you!"
Zhao Jun smiled and complimented Ye Wei who had just shot the arrow. Ye Wei just snorted coldly in response to his compliment and didn't care, as if it was just a very inconspicuous thing. Zhao Jun was a little bit embarrassed. What a fuss.
At this time, Zhao Duan, who had also taken aim with his bow but failed to find a suitable opportunity, also smiled and said: "Qinghe is indeed a fierce general on the frontier. In the two years since he came to Bianjing, his archery skills have not deteriorated at all!"
Qinghe is the name of Lao Taishan Ye Wei.
When Zhao Duan spoke, Lao Taishan immediately changed his disdain for Zhao Jun, showed joy on his face, raised his hands and said to Zhao Duan:
"Thank you for the official compliment!
As a military general, even though the general is not guarding the territory for His Majesty at the border, he still practices diligently every day, because he is afraid that one day the officials will use the general, and the general is out of shape. Wouldn't it be unfavorable to His Majesty? "
"Hahahaha! Okay! If everyone in the court loves you, why can't we, the Song Dynasty, be rejuvenated?"
Zhao Duan was obviously very happy.
Zhao Jun curled his lips at the side, but he didn't expect Lao Taishang to be a skilled flatterer!
I feel ashamed of myself for being such a flatterer.
After joking for a while, everyone continued hunting.
In the next hour, Zhao Jun and Zhao Duan also had a good start, taking a gray-furred fox and a long-tailed weasel as their first prey of the day respectively.
There is no doubt that the weasel was shot by Zhao Jun.
Seeing that the one he shot was actually a weasel, Zhao Jun suddenly looked unhappy. He was far away at the time, so he thought it was a fox like the old man, but he didn't expect it to be this thing.
Zhao Duan immediately laughed at him when he saw it.
Then everyone continued hunting.
Finally, as the sun gradually rose into the sky, the three of them stopped hunting and began to count the harvest of the morning.
Among them, the one who has gained the most is undoubtedly Lao Taishan Ye Wei.
Except for the rabbit at the beginning, all the rest of Lao Taishan's prey were other prey.
An antelope, a fox, a lynx, two weasels and a prairie eagle that was hunting but was targeted by Lao Taishan!
With just one arrow, Ye Wei directly hit the eagle's eye and shot it down. It was obvious that his shooting skills were so powerful.
It was Zhao Jun and Zhao Duan's turn to shoot six prey in total.
In addition to the fox and weasel at the beginning, Zhao Jun also shot an antelope, and then a white rabbit.
Zhao Duan saw that both of them had antelopes. He spent the whole morning staring at the antelopes and shooting at them. In the end, he actually shot two of them.
Let Wang Huaien and the others take down the prey and process it so they can take it back.
When the three of them took a break, Zhao Duan took the towel handed over by Cao Shuang and wiped his sweat. After drinking some water, he asked Zhao Jun who had also just finished drinking water next to him:
"Tell me, what happened? You suddenly wanted to take me out for hunting. There must be something wrong with you. I suspected it that day."
Zhao Jun nodded when he heard the words, and had no intention of continuing to hide it. There was no need for it. He would know everything later, so he told the news directly.
"I received news here that a group of old guys who have been abandoned by the times are coming to seek revenge from you. The reason I brought you here today, old man, is because I prepared a meeting gift for them here and asked them to come and receive the gift. "
Zhao Duan was stunned when he heard this, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He sighed and shook his head and said, "Oh, they are all chasing you here like a dog-skin plaster. Aren't they tired?"
Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Jun with a teasing smile: "You are quite capable, but you dare to use me as bait. Aren't you afraid of accidents?"
Zhao Jun chuckled: "Don't worry, old man, there will be no accidents as long as I'm here!"
"When will they come?"
"According to the intelligence, it should be now!"
Suddenly there was a loud sound like a bell in the distance.
"Hahahaha! Dog Emperor, why don't you continue hiding in your turtle shell? Let me see where you are going today!"
A yellow figure leads the way, and five figures are approaching quickly from a distance away from sight!
