This time, Li Ping's team brought back a dead tiger, and an arrow could be seen piercing the tiger's neck. A fatal blow shows Li Ping's bravery. Serve
"Okay! As expected of General Li Ping! Come and give me some wine."
Liu Zhang's face was red and he was quite happy.
As expected, Li Ping's prey should be the number one this time. After all, tigers are not something you can encounter every time you hunt, nor can you kill them every time you encounter them.
Li Ping drank the wine given by Liu Zhang, returned to his seat to rest with great satisfaction, and watched the singing and dancing with Liu Zhang.
Liu Xun also came back at this time. This time he had not hunted any new prey. He just heard that someone had hunted a tiger and met Wu Yi when he returned from hunting, so he came back to have a look.
What Wu Yi shot back was a roe deer. Liu Zhang praised it a few times as usual and ordered the roe deer that Wu Yi shot back to be roasted and distributed to the ministers.
Today's spring hunting was divided into five teams, Liu Xun, Li Ping, Wu Yi, Wu Lan, and Meng Da. They have gained a lot now, and only two generals, Meng Da and Wu Lan, have not yet made any gains. But if we could hunt down a tiger, this spring hunting would be considered a success. Serve
At the moment, Liu Xun was looking around the dead tiger, his eyes full of excitement. He was born into a noble family, so it was easy to get a few tiger skin rugs, tiger skin coats, etc., but this was the first time he had touched such a "live" tiger.
"Hmph, the temperament of a young man."
Upon seeing this, Liu Zhang walked slowly to Liu Xun's side and whispered.
"Xun'er, I asked the people below to arrange for a wild boar to be placed in the hunting area. Later, you can follow the leader of the guards and hunt the wild boar back."
this?
Isn't this cheating?
Liu Xun looked troubled. He was born in the royal family and received a good education since childhood. He had never done such a thing before, and it was still in front of civil and military officials. Serve
"Father, General Wu sat down as soon as he came back. Obviously he didn't intend to compete for any more rankings. I will go out to catch some prey later. I can get second place anyway, and I won't use this method."
Do you think I am fighting for this face?
Liu Zhang glanced hard at Liu Xun and whispered harshly.
"Can father harm you?"
"There are only five generals in the army: Zhang Ren, Li Ping, Deng Xian, Liu Wei, and Lingbao. Among them, Zhang Ren and Li Ping are the most difficult to tame. I originally wanted you to take Zhang Ren as your teacher so that you can control it more easily. , It’s a pity that Zhang Ren is treacherous. Regardless of whether he can defend Yong’an or not, he will not be suitable for you to reuse in the future. In this hunting, you should also show some skills to Li Ping so that he can be conquered in the future. "
The implication is that Li Ping should be reused and become the new core of the army's generals? Liu Zhang hoped to increase Liu Xun's weight in Li Ping's eyes before assigning power to Li Ping.
My father wants to reorganize the army! at this time? Serve
No! Perhaps it was because of this time that the father wanted to use the help of Chu people to get rid of Zhang Ren.
Liu Xun knew that Liu Zhang hated his teacher, but he did not expect that Liu Zhang was so afraid of Zhang Ren's influence in the army. There was a slight chill in his heart.
Liu Xun did not dare to disobey Liu Zhang, so he nodded and agreed.
Time did not pass long, Liu Zhang and Liu Xun only had a few words to say. Everyone at the home court continued to eat delicious food and enjoy singing and dancing. After a while, Liu Xun set off again.
The leader of the guards who was originally accompanying Liu Xun rode up to the front of Liu Xun. Knowing that everything had been arranged, he waited for him to get into position and set off without revealing anything.
Everyone rode horses for several miles to a mountain forest, and suddenly heard the sounds of "humming" and "snoring".
"Sir, there should be wild boars nearby."
Everyone stopped one after another, and the guards behind them reminded him happily.
Hearing the noise, Liu Xun didn't know where he was. He waved his hand to the guards around him to step back, and then he drove his horse a few steps towards the place where the sound came from.
The surrounding trees are sparse and only a patch of bushes are connected together. If you look closely, you can see a small patch of bushes shaking slightly.
This is much less interesting than chasing two hares on horseback.
Liu Xun fully drew the bow string and pretended to shoot an arrow.
Uh-huh!
The arrow shot into the bush, but strangely, the roar of the wild boar was still heard in the bush, but no wild boar was seen escaping. Serve
The head guard rushed out first.
"Master, wait a moment, I'll go check on the prey first."
Generally speaking, it is the guards who check the prey, because they are afraid of something happening to the young master.
Everyone did not doubt that he was there, and as the captain of the bodyguard wanted to show off in front of the young master, they just walked forward slowly in cooperation.
The leader of the guards pushed aside the bushes and saw a man dressed as a servant lying on the ground. An arrow had penetrated his back and he seemed to have lost his breath. There was a wild boar on the ground with all four legs tied up with ropes. A man who looked like a servant was holding a dagger in his hand and stopped on the rope. There was a cut mark, but he obviously didn't have time to cut the rope.
Depend on!
What is this for? Serve
This man thought he was going to wait for the young master to arrive, then cut the rope and release the wild boar. Unexpectedly, his hands and feet were too slow and it took him a long time to cut the rope. The young master actually shot the man to death directly over the wild boar with an arrow?
The head of the guard was numb. He wanted to tell everyone not to come over, but he couldn't. But wouldn't everyone understand when they came over and saw this scene?
In an instant, he was sweating all over.
We must not embarrass the young master! If the young master loses face, it means the king loses face. Is he still alive?
He pretended to search, turned the body over with his feet, then cut the rope that bound the wild boar, and quickly stuffed the rope into his clothes. When the wild boar got up and ran away, he stabbed the corpse in the chest with a knife and exclaimed.
"There are assassins! There are assassins!"
Everyone was shocked and gathered around the confused Liu Xun. Only a few people rushed over to help the leader of the guards. Serve
Suddenly, he saw a wild boar running out of the bushes. The leader of the guards fell to the ground and shouted.
"This assassin was hit by an arrow. He saw me coming over just now and wanted to stab me with a dagger, but I stabbed him first. Go and see if he is dead?"
Everyone came forward to check and found that the assassin was indeed dead.
The news quickly spread back to the home court, and many people were shocked, guessing that it was an assassin sent by the Chu State. Only a few people looked ugly and remained silent.
This spring hunting ended hastily because of this sudden accident.
