Surrounded by strong ministers

At dawn, the sky is just showing white, and the breeze is blowing.

Xiao Zong immediately stood on a high ground, looking far into the distance, the green grassland was undulating and wide, the dense forest was verdant and boundless, and the green hills stretched in the distance.

In the grass under their feet, dozens of fast horses galloped and scattered, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

The king of Qin drove his horse and slowly approached Xiao Zong's side. Xiao Zong turned his head, and what he saw was a mass of darkness, dozens of black horses, dozens of people in black robes, and a huge black brocade king's banner fluttering in the wind.In the glaring blackness, the man in the lead was tall and straight, and Xiao Zong once again felt the sharpness of the approaching three-foot green front.

King Qin, maybe the real King Qin is on horseback.

"The emperor's hunting ground is very spectacular, there should be a lot of prey." King Qin threw the horse's reins, crossed his arms and looked down at the woods not far away.In the forest, a group of his guards just went in to sweep the spot.

Xiao Zong turned his eyes and looked at the forest.

That day in the imperial garden, someone threatened the emperor for a long time, and then made a request, and there was a party in the paddock.It was August at this time, and it was midsummer, but it was actually not a good season for hunting.

Xiao Zong glanced at the King of Qin's steed with a strong bow and arrow tied to his back, except for the arrow tail feathers which were white, and which were dark black.The bow is long and thick, so far he has never seen any bow comparable to it, and it is beyond ordinary people's ability to pull it.The northwest area is so wild, Yeqi is good at riding and shooting, and the man beside him must be even better at it.

"Then King Qin will have more fun today."

In the blink of an eye, King Qin saw that Xiao Zong was looking at the mountains or the sky in the distance, his expression was indifferent, calm and composed.He couldn't help but think of that day at Guanyun Pavilion, when the Son of Heaven was finally bluffed by him, the indifference on his face was shattered, and when he walked out of Guanyun Pavilion, he was like a lonely ghost.

Thinking of this, King Qin bent his lips: "It's still early, the prey must not have woken up yet, is the emperor interested in riding the horse with his ministers?" Pulling up the reins, the tall hummer neighed and raised its front hooves high.

Xiao Zong turned his head, only to hear King Qin yell at the guards behind him: "Don't follow!" He turned his horse's head and galloped out.

Xiao Zong rode his horse. Just as the guards behind him were about to accompany him, he waved his whip to stop him, and followed the awe-inspiring figure of the horseman down the high ground.

Galloping all the way, riding the horse for a long time, everything was quiet in the morning light, only the sound of two fast horses digging the ground echoed in the wilderness.

King Qin didn't know if it was intentional or not, no matter whether Xiao Zong was speeding up or slowing down, he was always two or three zhang ahead, neither far nor near.

Seeing that he was about to enter the woods, the King of Qin reined in his horse, and the black horse under his crotch raised his front hooves, neighed, and turned around, "Your Majesty is good at riding."

Xiao Zong tugged at the reins, panted slightly, met the man in front of him with a calm expression on his face, and said calmly: "It's no match for the King of Qin."

Qin Wang smiled lowly: "The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, such riding skills are enough to impress others."

According to the ancestral system, the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to study both civil and martial arts, but Xiao Zong was left in the Xinyang Palace for ten years without any attention, and the "martial arts" item was abandoned.His riding skills are still the basics he was forced to practice ten years ago, and the results of the recent nephews learning to ride and shoot with him.

"In front of King Qin, that's all I can do."

The King of Qin drove his horse closer, and gave a low laugh, "I can tell this just by looking at the emperor's hands. Your majesty's hands are exquisite and slender, and they are softer than a woman's. It takes many years without touching a sword to develop such a pleasing sight."

There are eight out of ten sentences that the King of Qin said that Xiao Zong couldn't resist.

Xiao Zong pulled the reins, drove the horse forward, walked slowly for a few steps, the black steed under Qin Wang's seat leaned up, snorted, snorted, and bit the reins on Xiao Zong's horse's bridle , pulling Xiao Zong's mount, Bai Jingfan, towards him.I don't know what kind of black horse he is, he is tall and sturdy, he is savage and wild, he snorts twice and pulls Bai Jingfan over, then snorts twice, spraying Bai Jingfan all over his face with his saliva.Horses follow their own nature, Xiao Zong's mount has a more docile temper, he only shook his head twice, and let the big black horse rub against him.

Xiao Zong glanced at King Qin who was close to him, and frowned.

The King of Qin touched the mane of the horse that exploded, and said to Xiao Zong: "It has taken a fancy to your Bai Jingfan."

Xiao Zong glanced at the incomparably tough black horse, which was snorting proudly, "Is it a female?"

"male."

So Xiao Zong pulled Bai Jingfan away from the big guy with different hobbies with a nonchalant face.However, the big man let out a long hiss, and after pawing the ground a few times with his iron hooves, he immediately squeezed up again.

King Qin laughed wickedly on his horseback, "Your Majesty, this horse is attracted to something, it must get under its hooves."

Xiao Zong could only turn his head numbly.

The sound of roaring horseshoes came from the road, Bai Lai rode fast horses and approached from a distance, the bright yellow imperial flag and Qin Wangxuan's black imperial flag fluttered in the wind along with the galloping horses.

For this hunting, King Qin brought 100 guards with him, while Xiao Zong selected [-] people from the imperial army, and there were more than a dozen servants who waited on him.

It was these accompanying personal guards who galloped here at this moment. They felt uneasy after seeing their master "missing" for a long time, so they came to find him.

Qin Wang squinted at the group that Hao Dang had found, and cursed in a low voice: "Disappointment."

Xiao Zong was also looking into the distance, he looked ahead without blinking.King Qin's seventy personal guards came from the Suanteng camp under his command, almost half of them went into the forest to hunt at this moment, but the remaining half were determined to remain aggressive and showed no weakness beside his hundred guards.

The teacher of tigers and wolves.

The Forbidden Army is the elite in his hands, compared to this, what if other military departments encounter the 20 cavalry in the northwest?

The two groups of people rushing forward gradually slowed down when they got closer, and finally stopped ten feet away from Xiao Zong.

Xiao Zong frowned, and King Qin's flaring king's flag pierced his eyes unavoidably and clearly. The black satin was embroidered with the totem of the wild flag clan's fangs and claws with gold thread, and it fluttered against the wind.

"That's Suan." King Qin said.

Xiao Zong looked at the snarling totem for a long while, "My way is a wolf, it looks somewhat similar."

The King of Qin laughed and said: "The twelve alien races in the northwest have had a hobby of fighting wolves since ancient times. They brought a few litters of wolf cubs and trained them without teeth. They cannibalized each other and only one had the right to survive. Those who survived fought with their masters. In the field, when it tears up all the provocative and provocative ones, it will be a suan. It can be regarded as the same family as the wolf."

"Same family but different species."

King Qin raised his eyebrows: "The law of the jungle is the way of the law. Doesn't the Emperor think so?"

Xiao Zong looked at him in the blink of an eye, was silent for a moment, and said, "King Qin also likes to fight wolf?"

"No." King Qin said with a faint smile, "I am aggressive."

Xiao Zong looked at him and said nothing.

The king of Qin raised the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of mischief in his long and narrow eyes.He and Xiao Zong were already very close to each other under the help of the hummerous horse that had shown their affection, and they just bent down a little, enveloping the Ninth Five-Year Master under his figure.Relying on his physical advantage, the King of Qin bowed his head to appreciate the calm face of the emperor, "Suan fights Suan, the battle between the strong and the strong is always exciting. It is very comfortable to step on an evenly matched opponent. However, recently, the minister suddenly I think it might be more interesting to catch a sheep and put it in front of the wolf, what does the emperor think?"

"I don't dare to compliment King Qin's hobbies." Xiao Zong turned his head and looked away, after a while, "Stay away from me, I can't breathe." Pulling the reins, he drove the horse away a few steps.

To be honest, at this moment he felt a little terrified, Qin Wang said something that seemed to be threatening but seemed to have something to say, and then suddenly behaved badly to him, more than once or twice.This hand-to-foot distance has already violated the etiquette that should exist between monarchs and ministers. If the man wants to nibble his hand and touch his lips, it is really easy to succeed.

Besides, he really couldn't breathe very well, he had endured Qin Wang's choking body odor for a long time.

The King of Qin took all Xiao Zong's actions under his eyes, he watched the emperor turn his head away, and his tone was unbearable, he felt at ease for a while, and then he said comfortably: "It seems that your majesty's desire to conquer is light, and it's not easy to fight for it. He will not plunder with cruel hands, just the opposite of a minister."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was not surprised to see Bai Jingfan a little further away from his Hummer, and finally couldn't help a low laugh.

No matter how calm Xiao Zong was, he still couldn't hold back on his face.

At this moment, the imperial guards had already lined up, and a military officer rode his horse towards Xiao Zong.Before he got to Xiao Zong, he ran out from the imperial guard camp again. Both the man and the horse were smaller in size. Xiao Zong saw the man on the horse clearly and wanted to get angry.

"Xiao Heng, why are you here!"

Prince Rui's son reined in his horse two to three feet in front of his uncle, pulled the rein and said in a serious manner: "Nephew is here to hunt."

Xiao Zong gritted his teeth, "I asked you how you came here." This was the first time he came to the hunting ground after he ascended the throne. Unfortunately, he was known in advance by his nephews. It's not about traveling in mountains and rivers, of course he made a decisive decision not to grant permission. Before leaving the palace today, he specially sent a few more servants to Zhaoyang Palace.Unexpectedly, the one who has always been indifferent is the one he should pay attention to the most.This kid is playing tricks on him.

Xiao Heng didn't make a sound, the military officer at the side looked mournful, and replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the Son of Heaven, just came out by himself just now when he was lying on the bottom of the imperial chariot. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

From the palace to this hunting ground, the journey was not close, Xiao Zong remembered that the journey was bumpy and extremely fast, the child was stuck under his car until just now, thinking he had suffered all the crimes, he felt a little distressed.

"The emperor's nephew is quite promising." The king of Qin said in admiration.

Xiao Zong glanced at him, then looked at Xiao Heng in a blink of an eye, and looked and looked at the guard camp not far away, he was really afraid that the children would jump out one by one in a while.

"Uncle, don't look at it, no one else is following me except me."

Xiao Zong was relieved, turned his head and told the military officer: "Take 30 people to escort the son back to the palace."

"I want to stay here and hunt." Xiao Heng was very determined.

Xiao Zong helped his forehead, this kid has a stubborn temper, he doesn't like hard and soft, coaxing Xiao Jian's method will not work on him, "Isn't there a place for you to hunt in the palace?" He was referring to A corner of the imperial palace is dedicated to the martial field for the children of the royal family to practice riding and archery. Whenever a prince or grandson needs to practice archery, his servants will release geese and birds.

"That's not hunting, it's more like fluttering butterflies." Xiao Heng said disdainfully.

Xiao Zong was silent for a moment, "You and your pony entered the woods, it's not enough to be trampled on."

"Then I'll change to a bigger one." He gestured to get off the horse.

"Bullshit!"

King Qin watched it for a while, then drove his horse to Xiao Zong's side: "It's no harm to let him try, you can't treat every boy like a princess."

"Outsiders don't care about our uncle and nephew." Without thinking, Xiao Zong blurted out.

King Qin's eyes froze, and the smile froze on his lips. After a while, he said coldly, "Really?"

Before he had time to think about it, Xiao Zong heard his elder nephew's faint complaint: "Uncle, you are willing to accompany him to hunt, but you don't want me to stay with you." He looked quietly at King Qin, then at Xiao Zong. .

Xiao Zong's eyebrows trembled, and after a while, he calmly said: "Heng'er, don't imitate Jian'er's pathetic behavior in front of me."

As a result, Xiao Heng's aggrieved face immediately grew old.

As a result of the dispute, Xiao Zong ordered people to enclose a piece of land in one part of the hunting ground, guarded by thirty guards, and another ten guards went to hunt, and found the hunting son of Prince Rui who had rushed into the enclosure and was waiting for him. .

Just after this round was over, the guards sent out by the King of Qin to hunt had also achieved results. There was a faint whistle in the forest, and the more alert hawks and geese spread their wings and rushed into the sky.

"You found something good, let's go in and have a look together?" King Qin untied the longbow from his horse and put it on his shoulder.

Xiao Zong drove his horse slowly, and headed towards Xiao Heng who was guarded by a group of imperial guards in the distance, "I am not good at this way, King Qin can enjoy himself."

The King of Qin didn't say any more, turned his horse's head and headed towards the forest, but suddenly reined in the horse at the edge of the forest, turned around and drew his bow, and shot at the hawk that was singing in midair.

The white feather and black arrow are as fast as lightning.

The eagle spread its wings and fell, right in front of Xiao Zong's horse, Bai Jingfan hissed in shock.Xiao Zong caught a glimpse of the horse's hoof, pierced his throat with one arrow, and killed two birds with one stone.
