Zhao Si stood on the right side of the First Emperor, accompanied by thousands of soldiers.
Zhao Gao fell behind and looked at Zhao Si, who was standing beside the First Emperor, with a trace of deep thought in his eyebrows.
It was a good thing that the First Emperor summoned Hu Hai, but what was the First Emperor's intention? At this moment when he was increasingly losing the favor of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao could not afford not to think too much.
It was only for a while, but I didn’t have a clue.
The First Emperor hung his bow, reined in his horse, and waved his whip!
The mighty team headed towards Jingshan Mountain.
Jingshan is a relatively famous mountain in Chu State. It is famous for its prolific production of rough jade and its high quality. However, with more and more mining, it is no longer easy to find high-quality jade in Jingshan. Therefore, Jingshan The flow of people nearby has gradually become less and less. Today, only a few villages are left, and the interior of Jingshan has once again returned to its former tranquility.
Jingshan Mountain is very large, surrounded by large and small peaks, but the terrain is not steep and the slope is relatively stable.
The accompanying soldiers fell far behind to ensure the safety of the First Emperor and at the same time avoid disturbing the First Emperor's interest in hunting.
The one hundred elite knights led by Zhao Si took the initiative to take on the responsibility of exploring paths and driving away prey.
As luck would have it, the pathfinders spotted a few hares before we had gone very far.
Hundreds of soldiers formed a circle and drove several hares in the direction of the First Emperor. Some soldiers also made noises to alert the First Emperor that prey was approaching, so that the First Emperor could be prepared to hunt the prey.
When the First Emperor heard the sound, he took off his long bow, took out the arrows from the quiver, and looked towards the source of the sound.
Within a moment, soldiers were seen moving around, and a few cunning gray rabbits were walking through the dense forest.
The First Emperor immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, staring at one of them with sharp eyes.
The long bow was bent to the full moon, and after a moment of aiming, the arrow shot out of the air with a hiss.
A cunning rabbit that was running left and right was pierced by an arrow, nailed to the ground, and died on the spot.
"Fire the arrow!" The First Emperor frowned and looked at Zhao Si. Seeing that the First Emperor had taken down the opener, Zhao Si also drew his bow and nocked the arrow with a smile.
The three-stone hard bow is not stretched too much, and a slight stretch is enough to deal with these rabbits.
Zhao Si stared at one of them with keen eyes, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.
Still accurate!
Zhao Si's archery talent is very good, and he can shoot arrows with his hands.
Hu Hai was not idle either, and followed closely, drawing his bow and setting an arrow.
Unfortunately, maybe because I was too nervous, my accuracy was not very good.
However, with Zhao Si, who was skilled in archery, none of the cunning rabbits escaped. The whole family came and lay together on the ground. Some soldiers took down the prey, picked up the arrows, and sent them to the general.
There were eight rabbits in total. Zhao Si shot three and then stopped. Emperor Shihuang shot four, and Hu Hai only shot one, perhaps because he was nervous.
The First Emperor fired seven arrows in total, and four of the seven hit.
Zhao Si fired three arrows in total, and three of them hit.
As for Hu Hai, Zhao Si didn't even understand it for a moment. His quiver was empty and he only shot one.
"The archery skills are good." Chu Lie said, and the First Emperor was obviously in a good mood.
The most important thing is the feeling of youth that has been away for too long. Although the First Emperor has not fired a bow for a long time, his archery skills are not too unfamiliar.
"Your Majesty still shoots well. I'm still missing your Majesty by one shot." Zhao Si pointed out that he should not steal the limelight from the First Emperor.
The First Emperor just smiled and did not answer. Otherwise, this boy sometimes acted like a sycophant, telling lies with his eyes open and trying to flatter him. This boy was really capable.
"You need to practice your archery skills more." The First Emperor turned his head and glanced at Hu Hai, but his face was not so stern.
Hu Hai was frightened but also inexplicably felt at ease. Father, it seems that he really doesn't care about those things anymore?
With the prey in your pocket, move on...
The further in you go, the more primitive it becomes.
There was originally a road, but as you go further in, the road is no longer a road. It is overgrown with shrubs, vines and weeds. Because it is spring, there are various unknown wild flowers, as well as bees and other insects living among them.
The pathfinders in front are also responsible for opening the way.
Wild hunting is still not as good as the First Emperor's dedicated hunting grounds, mainly because there are no smooth roads for traveling.
But there are really many prey.
After all, it is spring, the season when all things revive, multiply, and mate.
The soldiers cheered and drove the prey in front of the First Emperor. The First Emperor only needed to draw his bow and set an arrow.
Traveling forward for several miles, going deeper and deeper, the number of prey captured increased again and again.
The First Emperor shot three more deer and one wild deer.
Zhao Si's mind was not on hunting. During the patrol, Zhao Si had nothing else to do except driving. He also talked about life with the maid given by the First Emperor and occasionally came on patrol.
Most of the rest of the time, Wang Li asked him to go out and have fun, and there was no shortage of wild hunting. There was also a lot of secretly eating wild game hot pot with the First Emperor on his back.
Zhao Si was mainly curious about why the First Emperor suddenly summoned Hu Hai to accompany him regardless of previous suspicions.
The most important thing is that the First Emperor was not too harsh on Hu Hai and behaved very kindly. In other words, it is rare today that Zhao Si actually saw a normal father-son relationship in the relationship between the First Emperor and Hu Hai.
In this loose atmosphere, Hu Hai's psychological pressure was somewhat relieved.
Therefore, the subsequent performance is getting better and better.
After all, he was a prince of the royal family. Hu Hai naturally had no shortage of skills in bowing and horsemanship. He was also the son of the First Emperor. His physical condition was there, and there were soldiers to drive the prey away, so his hit rate began to increase significantly.
"good!"
Hu Hai drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and a mountain deer was killed on the spot. The First Emperor exclaimed in admiration with a smile on his face.
Hu Hai also had a smile on his face. Although he was still a little cautious, he felt much more relaxed.
This feeling of relaxation made him feel as if he had returned to a few years ago.
At that time, Hu Hai was only in his teens, and he liked riding horses and archery.
The First Emperor had always doted on Hu Hai, his younger son who looked similar to himself. At that time, the First Emperor was still strong and often liked to take Hu Hai hunting.
This moment is just like that moment.
Later, as government affairs became more and more busy, Hu Hai also gradually grew up, and the father and son began to become slightly alienated.
Due to the intertwining of various factors, the father-son relationship between Hu Hai and the First Emperor gradually became no different from other brothers.
Today's safari gave Hu Hai a feeling of dreaming back to the past.
However, despite being lucky, Hu Hai always felt that something was different from before, and he couldn't explain what it was like.
It seemed like they were close, but also like they were separated by a barrier.
Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and even Zhao Si all had different ideas.
However, the First Emperor became more and more prosperous.
"Don't drive away the fierce prey, just let them in!" The First Emperor broke into a thin sweat, but did not feel tired at all.
As the number of bows and arrows increased, the First Emperor could feel that his long-neglected archery skills were gradually being regained.
The thin hair is dripping with sweat, but can also feel the most intuitive power.
Even the two-stone bow in his hand felt weak and not smooth enough to use.
My body is probably back to what it was before. Although I'm getting older, my strength is still the same as when I was in my prime.
Unfortunately, with the strength of the First Emperor, the two-stone bow was a bit unsatisfactory. It had to be a three-stone hard bow to be effective. However, the First Emperor's three-stone bow had been given to Zhao Si, and the First Emperor had no intention of taking away anyone's love.
Just to ensure that the First Emperor was not disturbed, most of those driven in were small and medium-sized prey, and most of the ferocious beasts were driven far away as soon as they were discovered, which was a bit unsatisfactory.
With so many soldiers accompanying them, equipped with both bows and horses, there is no need to worry about safety. Not to mention ferocious beasts, even elephants will be blinded when they come.
The First Emperor gave the order and the soldiers began to let go.
After all, it was a deep mountain and old forest, and it didn't take long for a big wild boar to be driven into the encirclement.
The soldiers wisely formed a circle to prevent the wild boars from escaping and from rushing into the vicinity of the First Emperor.
Upon seeing this, Hu Hai immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Unfortunately, he missed the target, but he used a stone bow, which was too light and failed to cause effective damage to the wild boar.
"Here comes the bow!" The First Emperor had no intention of giving up the prey to Zhao Si.
Although Zhao Si was interested in seeing the wild boar, he did not disobey the First Emperor's order and delivered the three-stone hard bow to the First Emperor.
The wild boar rushed forward in the encirclement, rushing left and right, knocking over several soldiers, but could not break through the encirclement.
Just kidding, there are more than 3,000 soldiers, not to mention a wild boar, even ten tigers can't escape.
The First Emperor unhurriedly drew his bow and set an arrow, and the three-stone bow was stretched for a full moon.
"Gitui! I'm afraid this strength is not much worse than Xiang Yu's." Zhao Si could clearly see that the Emperor's arms and fingers were very stable without any trembling.
The First Emperor stared at the advancing wild boar for a long time, locked the target, saw the right moment, and immediately let go.
The arrow flew straight towards the wild boar and pierced its neck.
It was only the beginning of spring, and the mud armor on the wild boar was not yet thick, and the arrows from the three-stone bow were enough to break through the defense.
The second senior brother who had penetrated his neck let out a cry, his ferocity was completely aroused, and several soldiers holding large shields were knocked over one after another. The First Emperor, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, shot three more arrows.
As the number of injuries increased, the force of the big wild boar's collision became much smaller, and there was no such threat.
After another moment, he lay on the ground and stopped struggling.
The First Emperor wiped a handful of fine beads of sweat, showed a smile on his face and threw the long bow towards Zhao Si again.
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai praised him, and Zhao Si also followed the trend and flattered him. He seemed to be more interested and continued to urge the soldiers to move forward.
As the First Emperor ordered the wild animals to be released, wild hunting became more interesting, and Zhao Si finally managed to gain some interest in hunting.
It was indeed a reluctance. Zhao Si had played various types of wilderness survival in his previous life, but Zhao Si really didn't have much interest in this kind of target shooting activity.
But soon, Zhao Si became interested.
A deep roar made Zhao Si's eyes light up.
Brain tiger!
