The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 316 Winter Hunting 3
Two hours passed quickly, and the sun was already high at this moment, shining warmly on people.

During these two hours, Zhao Yanxun first shot arrows on the shooting range, and then built two snowmen with Huang Rongrong.

In the end, he took his beloved concubine and took a walk in the snow for a while.

Anyway, for Huang Rongrong today, she was extremely happy and satisfied, which was what she begged for.

It was two o'clock, and it was already noon that day, and it was time to eat.

Zhao Yanxun took the main seat, which was actually a simple table with a chair behind it.

On both sides in front of his seat, three long tables are set up, which are for hundreds of households.

In the middle of the "half frame" they surrounded, three sheep were roasted with charcoal. Today they ate whole roasted sheep.

The mutton is grilled so sizzling, it looks extra appetizing, which is considered a rare delicacy in the current era of relative scarcity of supplies.

Behind Zhao Yanxun's position was a tent specially prepared for Huang Rongrong, and she had already entered the tent knowingly.

Sitting on the chair, Zhao Yanxun took the tea from Lin Quan and asked, "Who is number one?"

"Reporting to the prince, it is Wang Cheng!"

Zhao Yanxun nodded, which is consistent with the result of Duan Hong and others' discussion, which is not surprising.

Only to hear Zhao Yanxun then asked: "Who is really number one?"

Lin Quan immediately replied: "Wang Zong of the Hundred Households of the Bodyguard Division!"

Wang Zong is the type of person who doesn't talk too much. This kind of person is suitable as a tool man, and he can't be expected to exert too much subjective initiative.

About ten minutes later, more than a dozen riders came at a high speed, bringing snowflakes flying all the way.

Soon, more than a dozen riders arrived outside the paddock, and their speed slowed down.

In the end, they stopped ten feet away from Zhao Yanxun, and then jumped off the saddle one after another. A lot of their prey hung on the sides of the horses.

The types of prey were nothing more than foxes and rabbits. Wang Zong even hunted a wild boar, which weighed nearly a hundred catties.

After everyone got off their horses, Qi Qi walked towards Zhao Yanxun's place, and paid homage to Zhao Yanxun through the roasted whole lamb in the middle: "I will see you, my lord!"

"There's no need to be too polite, let's all get up and find a place to sit!"

All the generals were seated. At this moment, more than a dozen guards had rushed to the horses and were counting the number of prey.

"Two hours into the forest, it seems that you have all gained a lot!"

"The prey caught today will be taken home later, and the end of the new year is approaching soon...you can also have a good year!"

After Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, Xu Hong stood up and replied: "The year is approaching, and the prince will continue to reward you. Even if you don't get anything today, you can still have a good year!"

Xu Hong gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart because the flattery was so unremarkable.

Zhao Yanxun smiled, motioned Xu Hong to sit down, and then said: "The more the better, if anyone thinks they have too much, then give it to the brothers!"

Everyone laughed. Although the words were a bit funny, they laughed more with Zhao Yanxun.

They chatted with each other like this, the whole sheep on the fire exuded fragrance, and the guards also finished counting the prey.

Soon Lin Dagui rushed over, and after saluting, he said: "My lord, the one who caught the most prey is Master Wang Chengwang!"

Zhao Yanxun nodded, motioning for Lin Dagui to continue.

"No.2 Hundred Household Wang Zong..."

"No. 3 thousand Xu Hong..."

……

"No. 11... Deputy Qianhu Fangtong!"

"No. 12... Deputy Qianhu Cui Xing'an!"

After finishing the reading, Zhao Yanxun signaled Lin Dagui to back down, and said: "This king has said something beforehand, whoever wins the first name will get a precious sword!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Quan walking over with a wooden box in his hand.

"Wang Cheng, this knife belongs to you!"

When Lin Quan walked in front of him, Wang Cheng had already stood up, bent down and carefully received it in his hand.

After Lin Quan retreated, Wang Cheng walked out of the seat holding the wooden box, came to the middle and stood facing north.

I saw Wang Cheng raised the wooden box above his head, and then paid homage: "My minister Wang Cheng, thank you for your kindness!"

Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "You deserve this, go back and sit down!"

Filled with joy, Wang Cheng returned to his seat directly, receiving the envious eyes of most people present.

"You are all in high positions, and most of you are in the office on weekdays, and you seldom exercise your muscles and bones, so today I gathered you together to hunt!"

"Of course, this king will also take this opportunity to spend a year ahead of schedule with you!"

When Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, all the generals stood up and said: "Thank you, my lord!"

Signaling everyone to sit down again, Zhao Yanxun said in a calm manner: "You are all heroes, today's hunt must be exciting!"

"What surprises me deeply is...how did Cui Qing, whom I called on the whole army to study, become the last one today?"

Hearing this, Cui Xingan's heart trembled. Why was he the last one?It's not because he gave up the most prey.

Since it was decided to push Wang to become the number one, the remaining three had to share the prey.

Qianhu Duanhong had the least prey, and Tan Lu was unwilling to cede too much, so Cui Xing'an had no choice but to give up some more.

In fact, Cui Xingan also has his own considerations for being willing to be taken advantage of.

In the past two months, he has been set up as a role model for senior military officers, which has brought him great honor and great pressure.

The so-called Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng will destroy it, Cui Xing'an also knows that it is not a good thing to be too popular, so he is willing to be the last one.

Just when Cui Xing'an was about to reply, Zhao Yanxun's voice changed, and he said, "My lord said just now that today's hunt must be exciting, so let's talk about... the process of your harvesting prey!"

"Lin Quan, the meat is cooked, let someone divide the meat among the princes!"

"As ordered!"

Seeing all the eunuchs picking up the meat with knives, some of them were salivating over the meat, while others had different expressions.

"Don't just look at the meat, there's enough meat today!"

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's words, all the generals laughed, but some laughed dryly.

At this moment, the first plate of meat was placed in front of Zhao Yanxun. Zhao Yanxun cut off a piece with a knife and said, "Wang Cheng, you are today's No.1. Tell me how you hunted so many prey. ?”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun put the grilled meat into his mouth, chewed it and said with a smile: "Tell me the truth, don't lie to me!"

If Zhao Yanxun didn't say the latter sentence, Wang Cheng would naturally insist that he listed it, and then make up a perfect story.

But after hearing the latter sentence, Wang Chengcheng felt guilty when he told lies.

The power of the sky is unpredictable, Zhao Yanxun is undoubtedly higher than the sky to him, and the half-smile in his eyes made Wang Cheng feel chills all over his body.

At this time, barbecues were also set up in front of the other officers, but everyone started to eat with their knives, but turned their eyes to Wang Cheng.

Most people don't understand why Wang Chenghe doesn't say a word, how can this moment of pretentiousness be wasted?

But at this time, Wang Cheng turned his gaze to Duan Hong, as if asking for advice.

But at this time, Duan Hong couldn't say much, he could only nod slightly at Wang Cheng with firm eyes, to make him tell the truth.

No one dared to lie to Zhao Yanxun, at least Duan Hong did not dare, Wang Cheng could only ask for his own blessing.

In the tent, Huang Rongrong could see the situation outside through the gap.

She just heard her muttering: "What kind of head name is that, why are you sticking around like a fool? Could it be that you are a dumb person?"
