Chapter 2870 The conflict in the paddock, the calculation is really accurate!

Lin Daiyu looked at the proud little Ruyi, her smile became brighter and brighter, her eyes narrowed to a slit, she hugged her into her arms, her pretty face rubbed against Little Ruyi, as if teasing a little pet, and she said happily.

"Oh, our little Ruyi is so awesome, of course your young master is even more awesome, he's so cute!"

Xiao Ruyi also loved Lin Daiyu very much and did not resist. She enjoyed Lin Daiyu's favor and smiled happily on her round little face.

Spring has passed and autumn has come again. The leaves on the trees have begun to turn yellow. People are busy harvesting. The hard work of the year will be rewarded at this time. The yellow leaves are falling, and there is a bit more autumn desolation, and the air of chill is full. Between heaven and earth.

In addition to traveling to enjoy the scenery and play, the emperor's relatively large-scale activities were hunting.

The emperor's hunting ceremony was very grand. The hunting paddock must first be determined, taking Mulan Paddock as an example. The princes and officials of the ministries and monasteries should express their willingness to endure hardships and protect the emperor by submitting requests for orders. The day before departure, the emperor would order his ministers to go to the Fengxian Hall to worship and ask the gods of their ancestors to bless everything well.

When setting off, the emperor should put on his military uniform and arrange the royal book to leave the palace. The accompanying civil and military officials also have to carry bows and arrows and wear military uniforms. Their team is huge and can reach tens of thousands. The princes and ministers who stayed in the capital must all wear court uniforms to send the emperor out of the city.

Along the way, the emperor rode or sat in a sedan chair. With the support of the Yulin Guards, the Qianfeng Battalion, the Jianrui Battalion, the Shenji Battalion and the princes and ministers, they entered the paddock and stationed themselves in the heavily guarded imperial camp.

The emperor's imperial camp consisted of a yellow tent, a mantle city and a net city. It was surrounded by layers of fortified and heavily guarded guard tents. While the emperor was hunting, he handled government affairs and issued decrees as usual. Therefore, all the functional organs of the emperor's dynasty were moved to the paddock and located near the imperial camp. The imperial camp became a temporary political center.

The huge paddock is divided into seventy-two small paddocks according to changes in terrain. Only some of the small paddocks are hunted every year, and the places are rotated once a year to facilitate the breeding of wild animals.

Emperor hunting usually takes place in autumn, when wild animals have completed their reproduction. This can show the emperor's benevolence and righteousness, and he will also open up the net during the hunt. This can also be regarded as a show-off behavior of ancient emperors.

As one of the leading figures of the nobles, Jia Chang was naturally among those accompanying the hunt. Not only Jia Chang, but also Jia Huan, as the general of the Yulin Guard, was responsible for guarding the imperial camp, and Jia Lan was the companion of the seventh prince. , also participated in this autumn siege together.

On this day, Emperor Yuankang began to hunt, and naturally the Yulin Guards set up the encirclement for him. The two wings of the team spread out, and it was initially thirty or forty miles long. To the extent that horses are shoulder to shoulder and horses are level with each other, the task of setting up a fence has been completed. After the first human wall is laid out, a second human wall must be set up. If the enclosed animals escape from the first wall, the soldiers of the second wall must be responsible for killing them. If the animals are allowed to escape, , will be punished.

The siege was ready, and Emperor Kangdi of Yuan Dynasty came to the paddock. When the hunt begins, the emperor first exercises his bow and horse to chase wild beasts. The princes, ministers and soldiers from Shenjiying on horseback followed closely, leading dogs, riding eagles and passing arrows, never leaving Emperor Yuankang's left and right.

In such a large enclosure, Emperor Yuankang was the only one who shot and hunted, to show that the emperor was the emperor's sole authority. All the prey he shot would be recorded in the living notes one by one.

When Emperor Yuankang finished hunting, he would return to Kancheng to watch the siege. By observing the crowd, you can see whether the princes, clans, and generals are proficient in riding and shooting. It is also an important opportunity to select talents. Through hunting, you can assess the abilities of the generals and princes as the basis for rewards and punishments. Therefore, everyone who participated in the hunt bravely took the lead and did not dare to relax.

Jia Chang was bored and riding on the horse, followed by three people. They were the Seventh Prince, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan. Now that Emperor Yuankang had finished hunting, naturally Shenjiying and others were responsible for protecting him. Jia Huan also wanted to hunt. . As for the seventh prince and Jia Lan, they were only proficient in archery. Although they did not want to be in the limelight, they could not be embarrassed, so they followed Jia Chang, hoping to make some prey.

This practice is not new. The other princes have help from their mother clan or the ministers they have attracted. In short, if they only rely on themselves to hunt, the final results will definitely be unsatisfactory and they will become the object of ridicule.

Jia Chang was too lazy to take action and turned a blind eye to the pitiful looks of Jia Lan and the Seventh Prince asking for help. He looked left and right, and the bow and arrow he placed immediately had not been used until now. In desperation, Jia Lan could only look at Jia Huan for help again.

Jia Huan looked like an elder now. Seeing that the Seventh Prince and Jia Lan were pitiful, and still couldn't shoot any prey, he chuckled and said.

"Let me help you!"

After saying that, Jia Huan slapped his horse on his hip and rushed out, holding a strong bow. The bow was like a full moon and the arrow was like a shooting star. In an instant, it shot into the lush vegetation. A howl sounded and a sika deer fell down.

The Seventh Prince and Jia Lan's eyes lit up, they were finally open. With this sika deer, even if there was no prey behind, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

The seventh prince had a smile on his face and said to the guards following him.

"Put away the prey quickly, we are finally open!"

Jia Chang glanced at the seventh prince with disdain and said with disgust.

"Look at your little potential, you're just a sika deer!"

The seventh prince was not annoyed either. He had been with Jia Lan for a long time and often went to Duke Wu's mansion to visit Jia Chang. In addition, the age difference between the two was not big, so they were familiar with each other. He did not expect Jia Chang to help him fight for the throne. There is no need for skill and it is very comfortable to get along with him.

"Wu Guogong is indeed brave, but what's the use if he doesn't take action!"

"I am a contented person. Even if I hunt rabbits and pheasants, let alone sika deer, I will quickly put them away. It's better than nothing!"

When Jia Chang heard this, he chuckled, nodded with satisfaction, and said.

"You have a good attitude. Keep it up. As long as you are content, you will live a good life!"

When the seventh prince heard this, he nodded. He understood the meaning of Jia Chang's words, and he did the same thing. He was content and happy. In the future, he just wanted to be a prince. If not, it would be fine to be a county prince.

With Jia Huan's help, the Seventh Prince soon harvested a lot of pheasants, hares, roe deer, foxes, and even a bad wolf. Although he was not outstanding among the other princes, he would not be embarrassed either. The prince was very satisfied.

Among the whole team, only Jia Chang didn't have any prey. He didn't look down on ordinary prey at all, and he didn't bother to fight first. He just dealt with the problem and took a pheasant from Jia Huan's harvest. It meant something. That’s all.

At this moment, they ran into a group of people, followed by guards. Wuyang Wuyang looked so majestic. This group of people stopped in front of Jia Chang and others. The first person came out and glanced at Jia Chang. , seeing that he only had one pheasant, there was a sarcastic look on his face, and then he looked at the Seventh Prince, and saw that he didn't have too many prey, and he became even more arrogant, and said with a smile.

"Xiao Qi, did you hunt just this little thing? It's better not to follow Duke Wu. He only hunted pheasants himself. How can he help you?"

"Why don't you follow me, uncle? I guarantee that you can stand out among all the princes!"

The person who came was none other than King Zhongshun. Jia Chang had killed the chief minister of his house, and the two had formed a rift. Later, in order to give Jia Chang a step forward, the second emperor reprimanded King Zhongshun and demoted him to the rank of county prince. The grudges continued. It's deeper.

When King Zhongshun saw that Jia Chang had no prey, he naturally stepped forward to show off his power and mock him.

Jia Chang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to King Zhongshun. This is a paddock, so he can't do anything. If it were a battlefield, if King Zhongshun dared to say this, he would dare to let King Zhongshun die heroically and become a heroic martyr of Daqian, giving him a reputation of bravely killing the enemy but unfortunately dying in battle.

The seventh prince glanced at Jia Chang awkwardly. He also knew that King Zhongshun and Jia Chang were not on good terms, and he had no friendship with the uncle. King Zhongshun had eyes above his head. He usually had a crush on the seventh prince, but today he didn't. It was just because Jia Chang was present and he was mocking him.

"Thank you, uncle, for your kindness. I will be satisfied with these prey!"

"It's worthless!"

King Zhongshun raised his head, wearing bright clothes and an angry horse. He said something casually and ignored the seventh prince. When he saw that Jia Chang didn't say a word, he became even more proud. He shook the riding whip in the air and let out a crisp sound. Noise, sneered.

"Everyone said that Duke Wu was brave and good at fighting. Now it seems that he is not worthy of his reputation. He was just lucky enough to achieve military exploits and steal the title of Duke. It is really shameful!"

Jia Chang hadn't paid attention to King Zhongshun, but Jia Huan couldn't sit still. King Zhongshun said this, but he didn't agree and spoke.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Duke Wu's achievements are well known to both the court and the public, and the title was bestowed upon him by His Majesty. What you said is disrespectful to His Majesty!"

When King Zhongshun heard this, his narrow eyes narrowed into a straight line, he looked at Jia Huan with a cold gaze, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sneered.

"Jia Huan, General of Yulin Weiwu De?"

"Who do you think you are? You're just a fifth-grade military general, but you dare to be so arrogant in front of me. Who gave you the courage, Duke Wu?"

King Zhongshun was furious. He swung the riding crop in his hand instantly and hit Jia Huan's face. King Zhongshun also practiced martial arts. This whip was very powerful. If it fell on Jia Huan's face, his skin and flesh would be torn apart. Leave him disfigured.

Jia Huan's expression remained unchanged, without any fear, and he watched the whip fall quietly. Even if he was disfigured, he did not want anyone to slander Jia Chang.

Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Jia Huan's face, Jia Chang finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, making King Zhongshun stop the whip.

"King Zhongshun, if you dare to fall with this whip, believe it or not, I will shoot you!"

Jia Chang put his hand on the strong bow, his expression was stern, his eyes were cold, and he did not hide his murderous intention.

King Zhongshun's face changed, becoming livid and gloomy, his eyes flashed with thought. In the end, he still did not dare to risk his life. He knew how crazy Jia Chang was. He actually dared to strangle Zhang Changshi to death in front of him that day. He still remembers it vividly and had countless nightmares.

"Jia Chang, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, I will let you see how powerful I am!"

The riding whip in King Zhongshun's hand swung again and made a crisp and loud sound in the air, threatening Jia Chang with a bluff.

Jia Chang let go of his bow and arrow, and said coldly with disdain and sarcasm on his face.

"Prince Zhongshun, are you afraid you haven't woken up yet? You are just an idle prince, but you really think you are the Supreme Being. What can you do to me?"

Jia Chang is now the Duke of Wu. He has made great military exploits and is a meritorious official of the Great Qian Dynasty. He also voluntarily gave up the military power. Neither Emperor Taizhen nor Emperor Yuankang would do anything to kill the donkey. Jia Chang has already done this. After all, if you still can't tolerate him, it will definitely make all the officials feel chilly and everyone will be in danger.

Jia Chang's words pierced King Zhongshun's lungs. He was so angry that he glared at Jia Chang, gritted his teeth, and his facial features were distorted. He wanted to cut his body into thousands of pieces and cut him into pieces with thousands of knives.

"Jia Chang, you are so presumptuous!"

"I'm just being presumptuous, so what!"

Jia Chang would not be used to King Zhongshun, so he looked arrogantly and mocked at King Zhongshun.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

The good words of King Zhongshun came out from between his teeth, his face was full of resentment and hatred, his cold eyes were fixed on Jia Chang, his body leaned forward slightly, and he threatened viciously.

"Jia Chang, you don't need to be proud, I can't do anything to you!"

"But, I can deal with the Rongguo Mansion and the people around you! I heard that you have a maid you grew up with, her name is Xiao Ruyi, right?"

"You actually accepted him as your sister. You must care about her very much. If she suddenly dies one day, I wonder if you will be sad!"

Jia Chang's face darkened, his eyes narrowed slightly, murderous intent and anger revealed in his eyes, and an evil aura condensed, making the air dull.

When King Zhongshun saw that Jia Chang was angry, he was very happy, laughed loudly, and said loudly.

"That's just a maid. Even if I kill her, my father and His Majesty will only give me a few words of admonishment at most! Is it possible that I can still let this king save her life?"

Jia Chang touched the bow and arrow and had the urge to shoot an arrow at King Zhongshun. Seeing this, Jia Huan shook his head slightly and signaled Jia Chang not to be impulsive. After all, King Zhongshun was the most beloved son of the Supreme Emperor and the sibling of Emperor Yuan Kang. Brother, if Jia Chang kills him, it will definitely shock the government and the public, and he will be blamed. It is not worth it.

Jia Chang took a deep breath, released his bow and arrow, and thought, he really couldn't kill King Zhongshun in an honest way, there were too many troubles and too much noise.

Thinking of this, Jia Chang had an idea in his mind, put a sneer on his face, and said to King Zhongshun.

"King Zhongshun, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. You'd better be careful. Every year, people are injured and die during the autumn siege!"

"I see that your eyebrows are darkened. There will be a bloody disaster soon. Be careful that disaster comes from your mouth!"

King Zhongshun also noticed Jia Chang's little actions just now, and his heart was in his throat. He was only worried that Jia Chang would go crazy on impulse, so he shot him directly. Fortunately, Jia Chang gave up in the end, and he secretly relaxed. In one breath, he decided not to provoke Jia Chang like this in the future. The risk was too high and something could easily happen.

"This king is a noble nobleman from Heaven. He is extremely noble. I have the protection of my ancestors. How can there be a bloody disaster?"

"I won't bother you anymore. If you have the energy, you should just worry about your little maid!"

A ray of starlight appeared in the depths of Jia Chang's eyes, with strong murderous intent. As soon as his mind moved, a thought flew out and fell into the body of a fierce tiger in the paddock.

Jia Chang and King Zhongshun taunted each other a few more times. Suddenly, a fierce tiger sneaked around. The moment the two groups of men and horses separated, it suddenly jumped out from the grass and trees. The evil wind hit and roared loudly.

"Roar!"

King Zhongshun's face was full of astonishment, and he was extremely frightened. The tiger fell down, pounced directly on him, and fell to the ground.

The guards were frightened and did not dare to shoot arrows for fear of accidentally injuring King Zhongshun. They drew their swords, dismounted and charged towards the tiger.

The tiger ignored the people who were rushing towards him. It stared at King Zhongshun with its cruel and cold eyes. It opened its big mouth and bit into King Zhongshun's shoulder. Blood and flesh flew out and bones broke.

"ah!"

King Zhongshun howled in pain and struggled desperately, his whole face twisted together, ferocious and terrifying.

When Jia Chang heard the noise, he turned around and looked with a smile on his face. He picked up the strong bow beside him, pulled the bowstring, attached the arrow, and aimed at the tiger's head. As soon as his hand was loosened, the bowstring rang, and the arrow shot out like a shooting star. It shot directly through the tiger's head, emerged from between its eyebrows, and nailed King Zhongshun's ear.

The tiger suddenly fell to the ground. King Zhongshun remained motionless, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was in pain, and he howled from time to time. His eyes were squinting at the arrow next to his ear, cold sweat oozing out. If the arrow missed even half a point, he would He will die like this tiger, which is absolutely unreasonable.

"King Zhongshun, you are too careless. I warned you about the bloody disaster, but you still didn't take it seriously. As expected, it still happened!"

"If I hadn't come to your rescue, King Zhongshun, you might have become a ghost from the tiger's mouth!"

Only then did King Zhongshun's guards rush to King Zhongshun and rescue King Zhongshun from under the tiger. His shoulder was bloody and bloody, with the bones exposed. This arm was probably going to be crippled.

King Zhongshun's face was pale, without any blood, throbbing in pain, and he stared at Jia Chang resentfully. He understood that this tiger must be Jia Chang's fault, but he had no evidence and could not do anything to Jia Chang.

"Jia Chang, don't be too proud, let's wait and see!"

After King Zhongshun said such a threat, he was surrounded by guards and left. He needed medical treatment and did not dare to waste time.

Jia Chang's eyes flashed with cold light, and he stared at the back of King Zhongshun. The murderous intention was hidden in his heart, and he sneered and dissipated in the paddock.

"If you really dare to have any thoughts, don't blame me for being cruel!"

The Seventh Prince, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan also looked at Jia Chang with strange expressions. They also suspected that the tiger was caused by Jia Chang. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Jia Chang just reminded King Zhongshun to be careful of the disaster of blood and light, and then He was attacked by a tiger, as if he was cooperating with Jia Chang.

"What are you looking at? King Zhongshun went out today without looking at the almanac. He deserves to be unlucky!"

"Don't let me take this tiger away yet. This is my prey! With this tiger, let's see how King Zhongshun will mock me again!"

The seventh prince looked back, having a clear understanding of Jia Chang's boldness, and secretly complained.

"The emperor's uncle didn't look at the almanac when he went out, but before my father left the palace, the Qin Tian Jian calculated the auspicious days of the zodiac!"

"Hey, it's scary to think about it. My father's auspicious day may not necessarily be a good day for his uncle. After all, my uncle is very ambitious and has always coveted the dragon throne. Now that he was bitten by a tiger, there is no way that his arm will be damaged. How can a useless person become the Nine-Five Supreme Being?"

"Qin Tianjian is indeed really capable and his calculations are really accurate. It is indeed the auspicious day for my father, Qiu Wei!"
