"It's good to have no scheming. He won't change his mind."
Zhu Ningyun was completely relieved after hearing her mother's praise for Li Xiao.
Along the way, King Yan stopped and stopped in order to take care of his daughter's health, and arrived at the destination almost half an hour late.
Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world from horseback and often went on hunting activities regularly.
In Nanjing, the royal hunting area is called the paddock, and it is mostly held in autumn, also called Qiuwei, because spring is the breeding season of animals and it is easy to damage the ecological environment.
But Zhu Di was the vassal king of the fiefdom, so he didn't have so many worries.
Hunting can be done at any time, and the hunting location is not fixed.
The mountain in front of you is called Yuquan Mountain.
In the past two days, I heard rumors from nearby villagers that there are often roars of tigers and big insects in the forest.
In ancient times, tigers were not protected animals, but pests that harmed human lives, so they were called big insects.
This hunting activity can not only entertain and exercise, but also eliminate harm for the people. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
As soon as Zhu Di and his party reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw a group of hunters, almost a dozen of them, carrying various tools, hunting clips, and bows and arrows.
Zhang Fu went to call the middle-aged leader and brought him to Zhu Di.
"What are you going to do?" Zhu Di asked.
The middle-aged man in charge knew he was a big shot when he saw what he was wearing.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, there is a big insect in the mountains. Two woodcutters who went up the mountain to cut firewood died. I am the leader here, and I organized a tiger hunting team to go up the mountain to eliminate the pests."
Zhu Di was overjoyed. Sure enough, there was a tiger. He waved his hand and said: "Let your people retreat, I will lead people to get rid of this pest."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man knelt down excitedly: "It turns out to be His Highness King Yan. I am so grateful to you. You are such a good man. I will thank King Yan on behalf of the people in the village."
As he spoke, he kowtowed a few times.
When the other villagers heard that they no longer had to go up the mountain, they all kowtowed on the ground with great joy.
It is risky for ordinary people like them to go to the mountains to eliminate tigers. No one wants to face tigers and risk their lives.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The people in the village will not be able to enter the mountain if the tiger is not eliminated.
"Okay, please step back."
Zhu Di waved his hand, and the people returned to the village one after another.
Li Xiao guessed that King Yan Zhu Di had a good reputation in the fiefdom.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that tigers are often hunted everywhere to get rid of harm, and people will spread the word from word to mouth.
Aren’t many future officials often going down to the grassroots level? The truth is almost the same.
Upon hearing that there was a tiger, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Li Xiao and said with great joy:
"Brother-in-law, this hunting is much more interesting than the last time I took you hunting. There is a tiger. Once you kill the tiger, take it back and drink it."
is also like this,
Ordinary hunting no longer arouses much interest in Zhu Gaoxu, who hunts all year round.
Only by hunting tigers can you feel a sense of accomplishment.
Zhu Gaojiu, like Zhu Gaoxu, was gearing up and excited.
Zhu Gaochi, who had the opposite personality to these two younger brothers, was frightened when he heard about the tiger.
Hehe looked at Zhu Di flatteringly and said: "Dad, this hunting, my son is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain and I won't go in."
In fact, Li Xiao also thought so.
It's okay to let him beat rabbits, but in his previous life he was scared when he saw tigers from a distance in the zoo.
I thought, why don't I take Ningyun and accompany my uncle to bask in the sun at the bottom of the mountain and see how beautiful and picturesque the scenery is here!
But Li Xiao soon changed his mind.
Because the kind and kind uncle was scolded by Zhu Di, which scared Li Xiao to death.
"That's all you have the courage to do?"
Zhu Di said with a stern voice: "It's just a tiger. If I scare you away, how can I manage this Yan land in the future?"
Zhu Di also hates that iron cannot be made into steel. After all, Zhu Gaochi is the heir apparent and will inherit his title and fief of King Yan in the future. This is too cowardly and not like him at all!
Zhu Gaochi shrank his head and said aggrievedly: "Dad, there are more than one. I just said there are two."
"you"
Zhu Di felt that the air in his chest was blocked, and his face became livid and uglier.
Li Xiao swore that this was the first time he saw Zhu Di angry. It was so scary. Is this the same father-in-law who was kind to him before?
Fortunately, Xu Miaoyun grabbed Zhu Di and patted him on the back to calm him down.
"Okay, my lord, you are not the first to know that Gao Chi is timid."
"Everyone has their own strengths. Are you not aware of Gao Chi's ability to study and deal with things?"
"That's not what Gao Xu and Gao Sui can compare with."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were stunned.
I was shot even while I was lying down, mother, you are partial.
Xu Miaoyun is indeed partial to the eldest son. She believes that the eldest son is always the eldest son, and Zhu Di likes the second eldest son the most.
After saying that, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Gaochi, just go up together. There are so many personal guards here, so nothing will happen."
Zhu Di glanced at the armored guards and nodded: "Then go up the mountain."
"snort"
Zhu Di snorted and lost a lot of his anger. He looked at Li Xiao and said with a smile: "Li Xiao, do you want to go up the mountain? If you don't want to go up, I won't force you, just wait at the bottom of the mountain."
Zhu Gaochi glared, why should he treat his son-in-law better than his son?
This is not nonsense, there is no choice. If you don’t go, you will definitely be looked down upon by King Yan. Ningyun is right next to you and you can’t lose your momentum. Li Xiao cupped his hands and said:
"Of course I want to go up there. I've wanted to kill the tiger for a long time! It's our duty to eliminate harm for the people!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi angrily: "Look, look."
Zhu Gaochi: "."
The baby feels bitter in his heart and cannot express the bitterness.
Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ningyun and said, "Ningyun. How about you wait for us at the bottom of the mountain?"
Zhu Ningyun shook his head and said, "I want to go up the mountain with you."
She didn't feel afraid in her heart, after all, she was of Zhu Di's blood.
"Look, look."
Zhu Di frowned and looked at Zhu Gaochi again.
Again?
Zhu Gaochi's face turned even more bitter.
"Say less."
Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows, and as soon as she patted Zhu Di, Zhu Di became honest instantly.
It seems that one thing is worth another thing!
"Guard the princess and the princess well."
Zhu Di ordered his personal guards.
"yes!"
The guards in armor were horrified, holding spears and surrounding Xu Miaoyun's mother and daughter. The group of people walked toward the mountain in a mighty manner.
Seeing the opportunity, Zhu Gaochi also got into the protective circle.
Then Xu Miaoyun and the two began to patiently comfort Zhu Gaochi's injured soul.
Soon, we entered the mountains.
The scenery of this primeval forest is excellent, with lush trees and chirping birds and insects.
The group of people started riding horses to hunt. What Li Xiao didn't expect was that as soon as they entered the forest, everyone seemed to have activated their cells.
Even Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun came out of the encirclement on horseback and shot a few prey with great interest.
And Zhu Gaochi was not as unbearable as he imagined. Although he was fat, he turned out to be a nimble little fat man who shot several hares while riding a horse.
Zhu Ningyun also tried his hand at bow and arrow shooting.
However, her archery skills were not good and she didn't hit any of her prey.
Li Xiao took the opportunity to secretly hang some rabbits and pheasants on her horse, which made Ningyun very happy.
Zhu Ningyun admired Li Xiao more and more, and said: "Xiaolang, I have been learning archery for a year. It is better for you to learn archery for ten days. Your archery skills are getting better and better."
Ouch——
Just as he was talking, a tiger roar frightened Zhu Ningyun to pale. Li Xiao took the opportunity to hug her into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
The roar of the tiger was deep and deep, and extremely penetrating.
As soon as the sound came out, the birds and beasts in the forest flew and the trees trembled.
You can tell from the sound that this tiger is probably an adult and still a big tiger!
Zhang Fu immediately led his bodyguard cavalry, about forty people, to surround Princess Yan, Xu Miaoyun, and Zhu Gaochi. Even if a tiger came, they could not be hurt.
Zhang Fu divided out ten more people and ordered them to follow Yan Wang Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu and others.
Hear the roar of a tiger.
Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui immediately rode towards the direction of the sound.
His eyes were full of excitement.
Obviously, the three of them together have the strength to easily defeat the tiger!
