Early the next morning, flags were fluttering outside Huining City, horses were neighing, and a mighty team left the city and headed west.
Everyone is riding a horse, no matter the prince or princess, or the civil and military ministers, Wanyan Aguda is at the front of the team, on the left is Wanyan Wu begging for money, on the right is Wanyan Xieye, behind are Zong Han, Zong Bi and others, and behind them are Zhao Tong and a group of civil servants were traveling among three thousand light cavalry, and the baggage vehicles fell to the rear.
Zhao Tong and the civil servants also wore light armor, with bows on their backs and arrows on their sides. They looked decent.
Zhao Tong did not see Mu Zhaha among these people. It was obvious that the Liao spy was pretending to be ill or using other methods to avoid Qiu Lie, and then planned to take advantage of Huining's empty period to escape with his family.
Horses galloping, dust flying, grass flying, all the way westward.
After taking a break at noon, the soldiers buried pots and cooked rice. After eating, they walked westward for more than an hour, and finally came to a place with abundant water and grass.
In this place, there are rolling hills in the distance, vast expanses of grassland with no end in sight, and a crystal clear river with fish swimming freely in it. Looking around, there is good scenery everywhere.
The team stopped and first found a place with suitable terrain to set up tents. With the Imperial Village as the center, they spread out horizontally in circles, with hundreds or even thousands of tents, which was extremely spectacular.
The official hunting will start tomorrow. The team has been running for most of the day today. The horses and carriages are tired and the main purpose is to rest.
Zhao Tong naturally lived in a single-seat tent. After entering, he lay down directly on the wooden bed and thought secretly in his heart.
Along the way, when he had free time, he stared at Wanyan Xiyin in front of him. After all, he killed Jian Yinniang last night, and Wanyan Xiyin must have been confused when he didn't see Jian Yinniang return to her life, but he didn't have anything to do at the moment. The evidence is against Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tan is now a minister. It doesn't mean that he can be killed by killing. There must be some reason. Even if Zhao Tan throws Jian Yinniang's body out and says that this person committed an assassination yesterday, there is not much Wanyan Xiyin can do. After all, this time is no longer a tribal alliance than in the past, but a country has been established, and everything is done in accordance with the law.
But Zhao Tong couldn't do that. Jian Yinniang's swordsmanship was so powerful. He also had to explain who killed the assassin. Since his martial arts skills were higher than Jian Yinniang's, what was the purpose of coming to the Kingdom of Jin?
In the blink of an eye, dusk came, and piles of bonfires were lit outside, and the soldiers began to barbecue food, mostly cattle, sheep, and fish, and wine was indispensable.
Wanyan Agu ordered a long table to be set down, and all the civil and military officials sat on both sides, getting drunk again.
The hunting officially started the next day, with soldiers driving away the prey from a distance, and the civil servants also came forward with their horses, but Zhao Tong just watched. At this time, Wanyan Xiyin came over on horseback and said, "Could it be that Xuanji doesn't know how to shoot an arrow?"
Zhao Tong looked at his expression and thought he was pretending well, so he couldn't help but solemnly said: "Sir, Yuan Yi is good at archery, but he has never hunted before."
Wanyan Xiyin smiled and said: "This matter is not simple, just follow me."
Zhao Tong sneered in his heart and followed Wanyan Xiyin on horseback. Seeing that Wanyan Xiyin was really good at archery and almost never missed a shot, he also shot a few times, but pretended to be an expert and only hit one arrow, and let that A rabbit jumped away with an arrow.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Xuanji's archery skills still need to be practiced. At first glance, he is a master of hands. Although I, Dajin, are divided into civil and military administrations, the civil servants cannot be like those scholars of the Southern Dynasties. They are unable to tie a chicken with their hands. You have to be proficient in riding and shooting.”
Zhao Tong said: "Yuan Yi is ashamed to make Mr. laugh."
At this moment, several loud eagle calls suddenly came from the sky. The two of them looked up, but they saw two sea greens and a large eagle chasing each other in the mid-air.
The big eagle is what the Uighurs call the spiritual vulture. It is very big, far beyond the comparison of the sea greens, but the two sea greens are very fierce and pursue the big eagle closely.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "That's His Majesty's Haidongqing. I didn't expect that this time I would actually hunt an eagle."
Zhao Tong looked into the air. The eagle was usually very lazy and rarely took the initiative to look for food, but that didn't mean that anyone could be bullied, not even Haidongqing.
He looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but frown. His vision in this regard was naturally better than that of Wanyan Xiyin. He could clearly see that the big eagle was just teasing the two sea turtles. Sliding forward like an enemy, it was all just an act.
Although Hai Dongqing was extremely fierce, it was obvious that his spirituality was far inferior to that of the big eagle. He thought that he was evenly matched with the opponent, so he bit on tightly and refused to let the big eagle leave.
But at this time, the two eagles had swam to the top of Zhao Tong's head, and Wanyan Aguda also led people to follow him. Wanyan Zongbi who was standing aside said: "Your Majesty, I think that big eagle is extraordinary. It seems I am deliberately playing tricks on Haidongqing, because I am afraid that Haidongqing will be defeated and injured by the big eagle, so why don't you shoot it down!"
Wanyan Agu said: "Wushu, do you think so? I think we are evenly matched."
Wanyan Zongbi said: "Your Majesty, I do feel this way. The big eagle is very organized in every move, including retreating and advancing. If it is really lost, it will definitely be at a loss to advance or retreat, and it will be panic everywhere. It will definitely not advance and retreat like this." Well-founded.”
Wanyan Aguda laughed and said: "Wushu, you are good at martial arts, I will trust you and bring you the bow!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Tong couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and looked up and down at Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom. This Wanyan Zongbi was the famous Jin Wushu in later generations, but now it seemed that his martial arts and vision were both excellent.
In fact, if you think about it, if he is really that stupid, how can he fight Yue Fei for so many years? Even if he loses and suffers a lot, he is not caught or killed. How can he be considered a person?
Wanyan Zongbi could see that Da Diao was acting, but Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Aguda could not, which proved that Wanyan Zongbi's martial arts skills were superior to those of the two, and clues to the flaws could be seen from Da Diao's movements.
At this time, Wanyan Aguda had already taken the bow in his hand, and he hit the string with an arrow. But before he could shoot, the big eagle in the sky suddenly accelerated suddenly, turned a small turn in the air, and flew towards the west at a high speed.
Wanyan Agu was stunned for a moment and cursed: "Sure enough, I was tricked by this flat-haired beast, let's shoot him together!"
Hearing the words, everyone around them took up their bows and shot towards the sky, but the big eagle was also trying to be clever. Not only did he play with the two sea turtles, but he also thought that he would also play with the two-legged beasts below. Look at that two-legged beast. They wanted to shoot him, so they ran away immediately, but they didn't know how ruthless the two-legged beasts were, so they all picked up their bows and shot him.
There were woven arrows below. Even though the big eagle was quite intelligent and could dodge, his body was too big. If he wasn't careful, he was hit in the back by an arrow. He couldn't help but let out a high-pitched cry, and the sky was filled with shock. , the speed is three points faster.
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed when he saw it below: "Chai, whoever can shoot down this eagle, I will give him a rank and reward him with a hundred gold!"
After hearing this, everyone rushed to catch up, including Zhao Tong, who galloped westward with the team.
