Long live the general

Dongyuan is located under Longshouyuan, above which there are continuous mountains, which serve as a natural barrier to guard the rear of Ziwei Palace.Dongyuan has a huge area and is connected to the mountains. It is a good place for hunting.The dynasty before Dayue was called Xia, and it was a dynasty that fought with iron horses. The kings of the Xia Dynasty were violent and arbitrary, and the criminal laws were strict.However, due to frequent wars, the imperial court's finances were unable to support it, and civil wars broke out frequently, and finally the fall of Xia became more and more serious.

By the way, during the Xia Dynasty, the Xiongnu were beaten to the ground and fled westward, conquering many dynasties, and even perished the country.The Huns are the most powerful nomadic tribe on the grasslands, and they profoundly interpret what strength and speed are. They are not only the nightmare of Dai Viet, but also like a ferocious and terrifying beast walking across the continent.After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the Xiongnu made a comeback and once again became a knife hanging over the people of Dayue, and from time to time they had to scrape off a piece of flesh and blood.

However, Dayue absorbed the lessons of the fall of the Xia Dynasty. Since the founding of the country, he has been resting with the people, implementing loose state governance, emphasizing civility over military affairs, and focusing on governing by doing nothing.After years of cultivation and rest, the status of literati has been higher than that of warriors.But this is a nation that was born in the flames of war. The civilians still love martial arts. In their spare time, they still enjoy competing in archery, riding horses and sword kung fu. In the court, the emperor often hunts and releases eagles in Dongyuan, and entertains ministers.

In conclusion, Dongyuan Hunting is a highly sought after court game.

Li Yi took the lead and entered the garden. Huo Yi knew that the emperor wanted to test Li Yi today, and he was just an extension, so he was not in a hurry and strolled leisurely on horseback.

There were only some small animals on the outside of the garden. Li Yi walked all the way in, and the surrounding gradually became quiet, and the dense woods blocked the sunlight.There are not many animals in winter, Li Yi wants to catch a strong one and show her ability.

Li Yi was also born in a family of generals. During the Xia Dynasty, the ancestors of the Li family once guarded the border and repelled the Xiongnu.The Li family has been fighting for generations, from the Xia Dynasty to Dayue, all positions were fought for their lives, but even so, Li Yi was only a border county guard, unable to be a marquis, and did not have the position of a general.

Li Yi didn't understand the joints involved, but felt that no matter how hard she worked, there seemed to be infinite resistance on the way up.He was conscientious in the border counties and never slack in the slightest. However, many county guards have been promoted, and he just went from one border county to another, with no hope for his future.

Ingratiating the ministers of the DPRK and China, forming cliques for personal gain, and recruiting customers... He despises these methods, thinking that he only needs to perform his duties, and he only needs to be responsible to the Li family, to the people at the border, and to the emperor.

But his conscientiousness seemed to be useless, Emperor Yueyun never intended to promote him, and Li Yi hadn't shown his face in front of the emperor for many years.When the new emperor came to the throne, he didn't have any expectations. He was about to be over fifty years old, and this life might be like this until he died in battle one day.

However, the new emperor summoned him alone, which made Li Yi feel hopeful again.

Although that kid Huo Yi is also here.

Li Yi still admires Huo Fengnian very much, but Huo Yi has no record.The biggest battle he participated in was the Battle of Mobei that year. The Northern Army was defeated. After that, he spent many years in Border County without any achievements.

He thought deeply, walked farther and farther all the way, and gradually could not hear the movement behind him.Li Yi held the bow and arrow tightly, and the wind blew past his ears, and he saw the back of a white tiger in the grass.

If other people met the tiger alone, they would be terrified, but Li Yi felt that this was an opportunity, after all, people's physiques cannot be generalized.He held his breath, aimed at the sleeping white tiger, shot an arrow, only heard a ding, the arrow sank, but the sound was not right.

Li Yi was suspicious, and after a while, she dismounted and walked over, only to find that it was not a white tiger, but a stone shaped like a tiger.The arrow sank deeply into the stone, and it was extremely sharp.

He tried to shoot the arrow, which was only a standard arrow equipped in the palace, and it did not have the power to break stones.Li Yi himself felt a little unbelievable, as he was meditating, he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching, and Huo Yi appeared in his field of vision riding a white mist.

Li Yi frowned, how could this kid appear here.But then, his pupils shrank suddenly, and Huo Yi raised his bow and arrow, aiming at the direction he was in.

How dare he? !Li Yi was half frightened and half angry, this kid Huo Yi actually wanted to assassinate him while hunting!However, at this moment, Li Yi had no time to draw the arrow, and he didn't have any sharp weapon on his body. He glared at Huo Yi, and was about to question him, when he heard Huo Yi shout: "Don't move!"

Li Yi was stunned, but Huo Yi had already let go, the standard arrow shot out like lightning, the cold arrow flew past Li Yi's cheek, and then made the sound of sinking into the flesh and blood.

Li Yi looked back at this time, and saw a green poisonous snake fell to the ground, its head two fingers wide was pierced by an arrow from its mouth.

He quickly simulated the scene just now, and when he lowered his head to inspect the drawn arrow, the poisonous snake stared at him silently. After Huo Yi rushed over, before he had time to explain the situation, the moment the poisonous snake opened its fangs, he shot the arrow Through the Shekou.

The speed and accuracy of this arrow are not bad at all, and it also requires excellent judgment.Li Yi was in a complicated mood, and Huo Yi's archery technique was really impressive.

"Thank you." Li Yi took a few steps back, he felt his neck was cold now, and he couldn't help but wondered, and asked, "How did Governor Huo come here?"

"Following your trail." Huo Yi said: "This place is too far away, not within the hunting range of Dongyuan, Governor Li, let's go back."

Dongyuan is not a closed place, there are often wild beasts running down from Longshou Mountain.The Forbidden Army had designated a safe area, but Li Yi naturally couldn't be satisfied with catching rabbits and deer in that kind of place.

Li Yi: "If you want to go back, go back by yourself first."

Huo Yi said euphemistically: "It's dangerous here, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone Junshou Li is an important minister of Da Yue..."

"Don't dare to be." Li Yi didn't expect that Huo Yi, who was born in Jiangmen, would be so timid, and his previous recognition of archery has also disappeared. After all, it is useless for a cowardly and cowardly person to have strong archery: "When I was in Bianjun , I often fight against the Huns, and take the lead, the Huns' swords are much more dangerous than they are now."

He said meaningfully: "I'm afraid the Sheriff Huo has never experienced this kind of danger, that's why even the beasts in Dongyuan are afraid."

Huo Yi: "..." Doesn't this person reflect on why he is not popular?

Li Yi leaned over and pulled out the arrow from the stone, and suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.He was experienced in the field and quickly realized what was going on.

The vibrations on the ground became more and more intense, and a giant black and gray bear ran over from a distance, its huge body rammed like a cannonball, and rushed towards them.

It was too late for Li Yi to get on the horse and escape, and the speed of the bear was much faster than people imagined, it was simply an unstoppable giant killer.Moreover, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and ordinary sharp weapons cannot cause any damage to it.In the blink of an eye, the giant bear had already rushed in front of Li Yi. It raised its paw, and the thick and powerful bear paw was almost bigger than Li Yi's head.

Li Yi didn't want to stand and wait to die, so he rushed to the left in a panic, and the giant bear took advantage of the situation to slap him, and the speed was so fast that it made people desperate.At this moment, the sound of arrows piercing through the air was heard, Huo Yi shot three arrows in succession, only the first one penetrated the bear's paw, and all the last two were photographed.

Huo Yi was also a little desperate. The archery that could penetrate the Xiongnu's iron shield could only do so much. After all, it was just a bow and arrow for hunting and fun.But at this time, he seemed calmer.The injured giant bear was extremely angry, let go of Li Yi who was on the side, and rushed towards him.

The white mist carried Huo Yi around and fled, and the plateau horse was also terrified when facing the giant bear.Huo Yi could feel the distance getting closer as the giant bear chased after him. At this moment, the giant bear suddenly screamed and stopped.

Huo Yi controlled the white mist to stop and turned around to look.Li Yi had already got on his horse, but instead of running away, he raised his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the giant bear's chest. Unfortunately, the shot only pierced the flesh and did not cause a fatal wound.

The bear was stunned for a moment, Li Yi took the opportunity to shoot another arrow, his arrow was slower than Huo Yi's, but stronger, a few strands of white hair hung down, Li Yi's eyes were concentrated, almost ten steps away from the giant bear. Only when he was far away did he let go of his fingers, and the arrow shot out powerfully, piercing deeply through the giant bear's right eye.

At this time, Li Yi drove the horse and fled.The giant bear was blind in one eye, but the speed was even faster, and Li Yi was placed under the shadow of the giant bear in an instant.

A whistle pierced the sky, and after briefly attracting the giant bear's attention, Huo Yi immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow without hesitation.The bear really didn't have any weak points, if it was pierced directly with an arrow, it would hardly leave a white mark, so it only relied on the thrust of the arrow, and it all depended on the ability of the shooter.

The giant bear turned and rushed towards Huo Yi without hesitation.

Although the two didn't say a word, they had a tacit understanding. They just took turns shooting arrows, wandering around, and cooperating with each other. They shot through both eyes of the giant bear one after another. Li Yi opened a wound on its body, and every arrow of Huo Yi followed They all hit the wound, which continued to tear and expand, and finally caused the giant bear to collapse.

If the two of them made any wrong arrow, the end would be that both of them died under the bear's claws. Fortunately, neither of them let each other down.

The giant bear fell down with dozens of arrows stuck in its body. Huo Yi and Li Yi looked at each other. Li Yi's voice was rough: "I don't have any arrows anymore."

Huo Yi breathed out slowly: "I originally wanted to lure the giant bear away, so you should inform the imperial guards." Huo Yi thought this was a better way, if it wasn't for Li Yi's sudden arrow, Huo Yi He didn't intend to kill the giant bear himself at all.

Thousands of imperial guards fired directly at the volley. No matter how powerful the giant bear was, there was nowhere to escape. If it didn't work, he could pour oil on fire and set traps.

"I can't leave you and run away." Li Yi looked at Huo Yi gratifiedly: "You are strong, but you are too timid. You see, the two of us killed this bear together. This is enough to record Governor Huo, you should be more courageous in the future."

Huo Yi: "Be careful sailing forever."

Li Yi shook her head: "Too cautious will miss a good opportunity."

The two really couldn't convince each other, so they had to think that the tacit understanding just now was just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.Huo Yi felt that Li Yi was more liked when he was silent, so the two stopped talking and rushed back to Dongyuan to let the guards drag the giant bear's body out.

The emperor was both surprised and delighted. When he learned that this was the result of the cooperation between the two, he was even more moved. He said that it was a great fortune for Dai Viet to have two people guarding the frontier gate, and rewarded each of them with five hundred gold.
