"What? Are you sure it's by weight, not quantity?"
Little Shota was shocked.
That's not how it was played in TV dramas in later generations. They were all about quantity!
For example, whoever shoots the most hares, pheasants, and geese will win. The competition is based on the accuracy of archery!
And this old guy is talking about weight comparison?
Then if he encounters a big bison, won't he immediately become the first?
"That's right! The comparison is weight...!"
However, Ying Zheng nodded very confidently and continued: "There is a royal hunting ground in Dongshan. When the time comes, I will send people to put two giant insects, eight wolves and some hares and pheasants in it. All the soldiers and princes of Da Qin want to participate It will be all right!"
"Anyone who wins the hunt can attend the dinner, and I will give corresponding rewards!"
This is a good opportunity for the Qin soldiers to rise to prominence.
As long as you hit the prey, you will get a lot of rewards at the end. If you perform well, it is possible to be directly promoted to a general!
This is like Bing Xi in the Qing Dynasty in the TV series. As long as you can skate well, you can rise to great heights and be just around the corner!
"What? There are also big insects?"
This really shocked Xiao Zhengtai.
This reward is not easy to get, and you may lose your life.
If he remembered correctly, the big bug in this era was the tiger, right?
In this era where wild animals can be seen everywhere, tigers are not short of food at all. They are still very fat and strong. Each tiger weighs six to seven hundred pounds?
If you encounter this, you will tear people and horses apart.
No wonder this old guy said he would have to test the weight. He was testing the courage of the soldiers.
Who is timid enough to challenge a tiger?
Just hearing the cry scares me to death!
"That's right, but don't worry, the bugs and wolves have lost their claws and fangs, so they won't be eaten even if they are defeated!"
Ying Zheng took a sip of wine and said.
"call……"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengtai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought this old guy was so idle that he let the soldiers of Great Qin kill people every year!
"You're a very strong boy. Are you interested in archery?"
"Yes! Old General Wang just taught his son how to shoot arrows yesterday, and I will try it tomorrow. If I am not as good as some of my brothers, please don't laugh at me, Father!"
Xiao Zhengtai said with a sweet smile.
"Okay, then let's set off together tomorrow, haha!"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily.
…
At midnight on the second day, all the soldiers who were going to participate in the hunt had gathered at the gate of the palace, waiting for Ying Zheng's arrival.
This is a good opportunity for them to rise to the top. All the best archery skills in the army are here, and there are a lot of people, almost two to three hundred people!
There will be no morning court today. Unless those with important official duties stay in the palace, everyone else must accompany them!
This is undoubtedly an important day for Da Qin!
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng came with a group of princes.
Xiaoshota is the youngest, so she is ranked last.
Li Si and others immediately frowned when they saw it, "What? This kid also wants to participate?"
"Since I'm following you, I guess that's it!"
Feng Jie nodded.
"Hmph! This kid wants to shoot arrows just because he is strong? Swords have no eyes and horses have no sex. If they are not kept straight, they will be injured!"
Zhao Cheng squinted his eyes, revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
When hunting in the woods, everyone is spread out and covered by trees, so no one can notice anyone else. Even if they are injured, it can only be regarded as an accidental injury!
"Mr. Zhongling, what do you mean...?"
Li Xin's eyes widened, thinking that he might have made a mistake.
"This kid killed my eldest brother and injured my nephew. Repeated attempts to impeach him failed, so let's get rid of him today to avoid future troubles!"
Zhao Cheng gritted his teeth and showed a sinister look on his face.
"this……?"
"Master Zhao, you should proceed with caution. In previous years, there would be people from Heibingtai secretly protecting you in the forest!"
Li Si frowned, not optimistic about his plan.
However, Zhao Cheng ignored it and secretly made up his mind!
"See Your Majesty!"
As Ying Zheng approached, everyone bowed their hands and saluted.
"Well, let's go!"
Ying Zheng nodded and led the ministers into the carriage.
As for the hundreds of soldiers, they were not treated so well and could only advance on foot!
Fortunately, Dongshan is not far from Xianyang City. After leaving the city, it only takes more than half an hour to walk!
It’s already autumn at this time, the leaves are starting to turn yellow, and there are some daisies blooming on the grass!
"Everyone has fifty arrow feathers. Whoever shoots the heaviest prey will win. Those who run out of arrow feathers can return immediately!"
"The guards of the Black Ice Platform will follow the big insect. If you are in danger, you can call the Black Ice Platform for help, and you will be disqualified from the competition!"
After arriving at Dongshan, Meng Yi, who was hosting the game, took a loudspeaker and began to announce the rules of the game.
This was used by Xiao Zhengtai that day when he was selecting government soldiers. Ying Zheng found it and asked for it. It just came in handy today!
"Is everyone ready?"
Meng Yi held a small flag in his hand and asked loudly.
"Ready!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"start!"
Meng Yi waved the flag and the game began.
Everyone clamped their legs around the horse's belly. The horse felt pain and ran immediately.
Now the war horses in the court are all equipped with horseshoes and saddles, which have a firm grip and are very stable for people to sit on.
One by one, like arrows leaving the string, they flew out, looking for prey everywhere!
Only the young lady stayed where she was, not even getting on the horse!
"Feiyu? What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to participate in the hunting competition yesterday? Why didn't you move again?"
Ying Zheng sat on a folding chair and asked in a deep voice.
Little Shota was riding on the horse without saying a word, with his ears perked up, and he was concentrating on listening to what was going on around him!
"Young master can't ride a horse, right?"
After a while, Li Si stood behind Ying Zheng and said jokingly.
"That's right, I really don't know how to ride a horse. I will come back on a big insect later!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhengtai flicked the reins and rode away.
His physique has been systematically strengthened, and his hearing is much stronger than that of ordinary people. He just raised his ears to listen to what was going on around him!
So many people rushing into the woods at once will definitely cause animals to scream, and those large animals are no exception.
Especially wolves, they are social animals. Even if their fangs and claws are removed, their habits are still there.
After feeling threatened, he will definitely howl and call his companions!
He was just listening to the sounds of these large animals!
There are a lot of pheasants and hares in the forest, but those things only weigh one or two kilograms, and the fatter hares only weigh about five kilograms, so they are not too big.
Even if he killed ten of them, they would still only weigh thirty or fifty kilograms!
But hunting a wolf is different. A male wolf weighs about seventy kilograms, and even if he encounters a female wolf, it will weigh more than fifty kilograms.
This is equivalent to ten hares and pheasants!
If you are lucky and can hear the tiger's cry and identify the direction, you can almost win the game directly!
