After rebirth, I made the princes cry

In front of the Changhua Gate of the palace, Nanci was already waiting there. He saw that Yingshu was dressed in riding attire, with her face upturned, her hair in a man's bun, and only wearing a white jade lotus crown. He smiled and handed over the riding whip. After passing by, he knew that although Yingshu's riding skills were good and her pot-throwing skills could compete with men's, she had never practiced bow and arrow, nor had she had the opportunity to go hunting in the mountains and forests. At most, she had set traps when she was a child. I've passed sparrows and fished for fish and shrimps patiently, but I couldn't show off my skills in this trial hunt.

When Ying Shu saw a lynx in the camp, her eyes were already shining.

"You actually tamed a lynx? When did you tame it? What was its name? Can I touch it? It can't bite, can it?"

"I borrowed it from my father." Nan Ci stood in front of Ying Shu and said, "I don't know its temperament either."

Not to mention Yingshu, even Nanci rarely has the opportunity to hunt. The occasional hunting activities are not in the deep mountains and old forests. Therefore, he has not even trained hounds, let alone lynxes. This shows that Yingshu is extremely excited. Seeing that, he asked the guard holding the lynx: "With you here to tame it, it shouldn't hurt anyone, right?"

This lynx is usually kept in a forbidden garden. Apart from its trainer, it has never had contact with strangers. Nanci saw the lion tamer squatting down and muttering to the lynx for a while. The lynx lay on the ground as if it could understand human speech. Nanci didn't want Yingshu to take the risk first, so he tried to stroke it first. The lynx turned back and glanced at him, its amber eyes glowing coldly. Yingshu quickly pulled Nanci's arm: "It You should not like to be close to others and stay away as soon as possible.”

What a pity. It looks like a big civet cat, but its temperament is much more fierce than that of a civet cat. Its eyes also seem to be filled with emotions, making it hard to mess with at first glance.

The group of people set off to the outer field. The lynx won the first battle. It burrowed into the grass and soon brought back a rabbit. It also performed a feat shortly after, taking the lead in attacking a few roe deer. Yingshu could only follow on horseback. Nanci ran, causing the roe deer to panic even more. After Nanci missed two arrows, the third arrow finally pierced the roe deer's neck. The lynx stepped forward and knocked the roe deer down. Yingshu fired. Cheering, she never expected to hunt roe deer today. She expected nothing more than "small game" such as rabbits and badgers, which might not be able to satisfy her desire for a roasted meat meal in the evening.

Time flies by quickly, and my stomach is "gurgling" as a warning.

There is a lake in the outer field, where everyone chooses to rest and fill their stomachs. Unfortunately, Ying Shuzheng did not bring a fishing rod. Suddenly, he saw an osprey jump out of the lake, holding a big live fish with its tail in its mouth. .

"There is an osprey in the paddock?" Yingshu took it for granted that the osprey was wild.

The osprey flew into the jungle, and Yingshu wanted to encourage Nanci to follow him to "pick up the bargain." But in a blink of an eye, the osprey "came back" again, and was "carried back" standing on the shoulders of a person - that person Let Yingshu quickly turn her head and completely give up the idea of ​​picking up bargains - Sikong Yuehu's bargains are not that easy to pick up.

However, Yingshu quickly turned her head back because she heard her fourth cousin calling her enthusiastically. It had been a long time since she had seen her fourth cousin who had gone to Guangming Guard for training. The reunion in the paddock was a surprise, but Yingshu immediately discovered Wang Mao's pants seemed to be stained with blood, and he quickly asked: "Why is the fourth brother still injured?"

"There is no injury." Wang Mao quickly declared: "I am also a member of the military. How can I be injured if I try hunting? It was the animal blood that was stained when I went to pick up prey earlier. It is a coincidence that I am trying to hunt. We happened to meet the Fourth Highness and General Zhou at that time. We have gained a lot today. We only hunted seven or eight pheasants, as well as roe deer. You are in great luck."

"We also hunted roe deer." Yingshu said quickly.

"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, can actually hunt a roe deer?"

"Who are you looking down on!" Nanci glared at Wang Mao.

At this time, Wang Mao also saw the lynx that was already feasting not far away, and punched Nanci: "I mean, it turns out that you are also bringing hunting lynx, but we not only have hunting lynx, but also hunting birds!"

"What is a hunting sparrow?" Yingshu had only heard of hunting dogs, lynxes, cheetahs, and falcons, but never heard of hunting sparrows? What can birds hunt? insect?

Wang Mao quickly shouted: "Lve Ying."

But there was no response after this call.

Wang Mao said with a "hehe" smile: "Lve Ying is the lynx tamed by His Highness Fourth Highness. I'm not familiar with him, so I can't change him."

Under Wang Mao's enthusiastic "bringing together", the two groups reached an intention to have a dinner together, and Sikong Yuehu finally brought his hunting lynx over. Leng Ying was not living up to his name at this time, and followed his master slowly over, Ying Shu decided. At first glance, it turns out that the hunting lynx is carrying a gray bird on its back. Is this the so-called "hunting bird"? It looks like just an ordinary gray sparrow.

As soon as the thought turned around, the gray sparrow flew to Yingshu's shoulder and stood there. The lynx seemed to be guided by the gray sparrow and lazily came over. It also had amber eyes, but it didn't look like it was the same. Not being cold-hearted, Yingshu just stood there and allowed the lynx to rub against her legs?

"He calls him Glimpse?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ying Shu felt the lynx nodding towards her.

"The gray sparrow also has a name. If you hear it, come quickly." Wang Mao patted him on the shoulder.

Wen Ji seemed to hesitate for a moment before barking "Zhi Zhi" at Wang Mao twice. It was not until Sikong Yuehu said "Go ahead" that Wen Ji flew to stand on Wang Mao's shoulder, and the lynx lazily walked over again. Squatting down next to Wang Mao.

"Prince, please don't underestimate the Wenji. We were able to hunt so many prey today only because of its tracking in the air, leading the way and shooting around. When I was at the teacher's gate that day, I saw that the teacher had tamed a few very spiritual animals. There are many birds, but none can compare to Wen Ji, Your Highness the Fourth Highness is really good at it." Zhou Jing also envied Sikong Yuehu, but he was not as childish as Wang Mao, who teased the gray sparrow non-stop.

"I didn't tame him, it was just a coincidence that I found a highly skilled tamer." Sikong Yuehu was extremely humble.

Yingshu couldn't help but have the "thought of wrongdoing".

She was thinking of Nanci sending someone to follow the lost person who sneaked into contact with Fu Qing. That person had been disguised. I was afraid that when he contacted Fu Qing again, he would still use a place like a bathhouse to get rid of tracking, but the person was Many beasts rely on their eyes for tracking, but they do not rely on their eyes to identify their owners, roads, etc. Ying Shu has never thought of using hounds to track, but it is too easy to be detected by the target, which is very difficult.

She asked: "Can the hearing machine understand human speech?"

Sikong Yuehu raised his eyebrows: "Are you still doubtful?"

"Then...can it still recognize its owner with its eyes?"

"It is said that it mainly relies on hearing and smell."

Yingshu felt itchy in her heart, but there were some things that she couldn't say in public, so she could only suppress it for the time being. But since she had something to ask for, she might as well show her sincerity earlier, and she generously "sold" one The rabbit was "offered" to Lve Ying for lunch. During lunch, he personally served Sikong Yuehu a bowl of fresh fish soup and also "served" Wenji to "dine", although the handful of millet was actually Sikong Yue's. The fox prepared it first.

As a result, the courtesy was in vain.

Although Nanci didn't ask Yingshu what she thought, he knew that Yingshu would not "lose his mind by playing with things". No matter how surprised he was by her sensitivity in sniffing out information, there was no way he could please someone who "didn't distinguish between friend and foe" just because of a bird. Sikong Yuehu, without too much elaboration, Nanci thought of Yingshu's plan. If he could temporarily borrow this magical gray bird from Sikong Yuehu, the question of who is taking advantage of Fu Qing should be solved soon. The exact answer.

Yingshu was not willing to let Nanci speak to Sikong Yuehu.

She knew that Nanci suspected that Sikong Yuehu was the real culprit who forced the palace to usurp the throne. This was a barrier in Nanci's heart. She could forgive Sikong Yuehu, but she could never forgive Sikong Beichen. In fact, Nanci had already given up on Sikong Beichen. He persecutes her personally, but will never forgive anyone who harmed her.

Sikong Yuehu did not harm Nanci, and even helped Nanci save his life. Nanci was already in a dilemma on how to face Sikong Yuehu, and Yingshu did not want to make it more difficult for Nanci.

But that fool was one step ahead of her and asked Sikong Yuehu to take advantage of the opportunity.

Sikong Yuehu simply did not ask Nanci the purpose of borrowing the Wenji, and even agreed to temporarily lend the trainer from his house to Nanci. Zhou Jing also saw that he was really interested in the Wenji. She was Yingshu, so she didn't criticize Yuehu and teased Yuehu with a smile: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is quite generous. You must know that trainers are rare, not to mention that trainers with such high skills are becoming more and more rare. If they hear the news, they may be able to spy on the military situation." , if it were anyone else, not to mention the loan, I'm afraid not even the slightest bit of information would be revealed."

"If another person said this, I would just say that person is short-sighted, but Jinghe said this... Do you have something to ask for? You won't put me on a high platform of generosity for no reason, right?" Because they were having a picnic in the paddock, everyone abandoned their wine cups. Sikong Yuehu took a sip of wine while holding the wine bag, staring at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing smiled again and drank wine with his skin in hand.

Nanci asked: "I am the one with limited knowledge. Isn't it because the fourth brother tamed this gray bird to use it to spy on military intelligence?"

"I did have such an idea at first, but later I realized that it was like a foolish dream. No matter how skilled the trainer is, he cannot tame the stubborn birds and beasts. Although Wenji has high intelligence, he is not a human after all. Even if he can It is domesticated, but it can only understand simple instructions, let alone spy on military intelligence. Even if it is used to track animals, it cannot actually accurately feedback whether the animal it finds is a tiger, leopard, or deer and rabbit. However, if it senses It is a ferocious beast and will warn its owner.

Moreover, a bird with such a high spirituality as Wenji is not easy to come by. It has a limited lifespan, ranging from three to two years to seven or eight years at the longest. It cannot fly long distances. For example, the tribes of Beiyi used to live on the grasslands and liked to tame eagles and eagles, but did the fifth brother understand that the birds were natural enemies? No matter how skilled the trainer is, he cannot use tamed birds to spy on the military and convey intelligence.

Therefore, although there is a difference between sniffing machines and playing pets. They can be used for hunting, but their functions are very limited. Fifth brother does not need to feel that he owes me a big favor. "

Compared to Nanci, Sikong Yuehu often went hunting in order to improve himself in bow and horse shooting, but now that he was officially in charge of military affairs, he might suddenly be ordered to go on an expedition, so he would not have much time for hunting. , it seems that lending out trainers and hunting animals is really not worth mentioning.

But Yingshu was very suspicious. Did Sikong Yuehu really only use an "artifact" like Wenji to hunt birds?

She vaguely remembered something. During her time in power, she was inevitably burdened by paperwork. One time, she caught a cold and fell ill due to working all night long to process the memorials. The continuous freezing rain during the few days of recovery made her feel very upset. She was depressed, but one day suddenly a bird appeared, seemingly forced into the greenhouse by the freezing rain. The bird stopped beside her bed and chirped non-stop. The bird's chirping was very light and sweet, and it even let her touch its feathers and accompany her. It stayed with her through the cold winter, and then she flew away until the spring came.

Yingshu loves birds and has always kept them as play pets in her boudoir days. However, she does not like to trap birds in cages, so she keeps them. The birds will disappear one day, but that one is in the palace. The birds that had accompanied her would occasionally fly back and even bring her a flower branch, sometimes a red peach, sometimes a white plum. They were the most spiritual birds she had ever seen.

Even when she died, she always thought she heard the cry of birds.
