The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the grass is dark yellow.
The blue and far-reaching sky, the light and leisurely white clouds, the fruity countryside, the northern weather of the late autumn in the mountains and forests, are clear, super-easy, free and easy, and proud, which can sweep away all the boredom of people.
As soon as she arrived in the wild, Sakura really changed her appearance, like a tube of bright green onions, wilted by the hot sun, and drenched by the rain, she immediately regained her vitality and straightened her body.
Not only is his face radiant, but his eyes are also full of radiance.
In the past, she rode a horse on the grassland every day, crazy and wild, and lived in Moling Town after arriving in the Central Plains, and could often go to the fields to walk, and was invited by Xia Xun into Jinling Yang Mansion, and often had to accompany Jinyiwei or Ying Tianfu's officials to go out to do errands, but this way to the north, they were all stuffed in the car, and finally arrived in Yanjing, and only lived in the pavilion, which was not the life she was used to.
Now on the prairie, she has finally become her again, the daughter of the fierce and wild Immortal Heaven.
Xia Xun smiled and watched her gallop and cheer loudly.
Xia Xun was wearing a dark hunting suit, and the tight hunting suit wrapped his long and toned figure, like a mighty and vigorous cheetah, and Sakura, who was also dressed in a dark suit, Xia Xun had to admit that the female leopard seemed to be more wild than the male leopard.
The emperor had not yet moved north, so Yanjing did not encircle the royal hunting grounds.
However, the eastern suburbs originally had a large area of mountains and grasslands, which was the royal hunting ground of the original Yuan Dynasty royal family, and after the king of Yan became a vassal of Yanjing, he often hunted here, and ordinary people were naturally not allowed to enter, so the vegetation and creatures here were not damaged too much.
Now Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, is in Yanjing, and it is also this area that often goes hunting.
This area is formed because of the natural topography of the mountains and grasslands, so it is very broad, leaving the avenue and turning into the grassland, gradually to the depths, as far as the eye can see, and the grassland outside the Saiwai is no different, you can't see where its edge is, but the most animals in the peripheral areas are only rabbits, gray rabbits, white rabbits, big black rabbits, it is difficult to see more animals, and then go deeper, there are large herbivores such as pheasants, muntjacs, red deer, etc.
Tiger wolves are not seen in this area, so although there are occasional poaching by the people, it actually plays a role in balancing the animal chain, and does not cause damage to the natural environment and ecological environment here.
Xia Xun's safari team was not large, only him and Sakura, as well as Xin Lei, Fei Hewei and others with more than 20 guards.
This is a semi-official hunting ground, and the local government has set up people from the inspection department on the periphery to inspect and supervise.
Xia Xun did not add an eagle to lead the dog, only carried a pot of arrows, carried a bow, with more than 20 guards, this way down, Xia Xun put more empty arrows, only once, a gray rabbit panicked, rushed to his horse, Xia Xun shot an arrow, crookedly hit, the gray rabbit shot, the rest of the prey on the horse stock, are Sakura and a group of guards shot, Xia Xun is not depressed, just look at Sakura's radiant appearance, in fact, it is enough, is a living beauty, not as cute as a rabbit When walking to a mountain col, it was getting late, and the golden crow was already hanging in the sky, Xia Xun looked back at Xin Lei who followed behind and smiled: "It's getting late, let's set up a tent in this valley, see that there is a spring in the valley, you can peel the prey with the spring water, and eat the roasted meat tonight" paused and said: "You are allowed to drink" As soon as the words fell, a whistle sounded in the distance, and Sakura's surprised cry came: "There is a fox, or a white fox" Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and looked, only to see Sakura beating the horse like flying, has rushed to the depths of the grassland, and then more than ten fast horses rushed out of the valley, as soon as he saw someone outside the valley, someone immediately shouted: "Who is hunting here, have you ever seen a white fox driven by my prince?"
Xia Xun raised his horse and said in a rambling voice: "Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, is here, and he is from the valley, but His Royal Highness King Zhao" The more than ten guards dressed in Ming military uniforms heard that the ranger was a national prince, but did not dare to be presumptuous, at the moment someone dialed the horse back to report the news, and someone came forward to greet Xia Xun, the rest of the people were sharp-eyed, saw a ride far away, the tip of the grass from time to time a touch of white hair, knew that they were chasing the white fox, busy also raised the whip to chase.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves in the valley was rapid, dozens of fast horses rushed out like thunder, Xia Xun did not move, looked at the face, only to see dozens of fast horses galloping out of the valley, immediately divided to the left and right, as if Xia Xun stood on an invisible boulder, and they were a galloping torrent, dozens of horsemen divided the officials to the left and right, the goose wings stood still, and the movements were uniform.
Dozens of iron horses, from the movement into the static in an instant, people do not bow their heads, horses do not shake their manes, under the evening breeze and sunset, like a sculpture made of fine iron, the momentum is really extraordinary.
Xia Xun couldn't help but secretly admire when he saw it: "The three sons of the Tiger Father and the Yongle Emperor have no dogs, and none of them are mediocre."
Immediately, a burly man with seven feet of hiding, blue and white arrow sleeves, a big red ribbon tied around his waist, and his hair tied with a stiff bow in one hand, rode his horse out slowly, the sound of hooves clicked, the straight and straight tiger body was reflected in the red sky, and the long shadow dragged out of the grass for a long distance.
Xia Xun knocked the stirrups with both feet, drove the horse forward, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Minister Yang Xu, I have seen His Royal Highness King Zhao."
Farewell to His Royal Highness for many years, now I see His Royal Highness's majesty, as if he has a little bit of His Majesty's charm back then" When Zhu Gaosui left Jinling to go to Yanjing to become a vassal, he was still a young man who had just grown up, but now he is not the case, he has been in Yanjing for almost ten years.
When King Zhao was in Yanjing, the emperor issued an edict, and the edict was ordered, and the government affairs of Beiping were all enlightened by King Zhao.
Over the years, King Zhao has been dealing with Yanjing's government affairs and has been authoritative.
He also led the three guards of Changshan.
With his identity as King Zhao, the three guards of Changshan, the selected soldiers are naturally the first-class heroes in the border army, weapons and armor, all kinds of military supplies, but he can also supply first, the combat power of the three guards of Changshan is not far behind the three guards of Yanshan back then, under the influence of a long time, this King Zhao is indeed majestic, and now he, compared to living in Jinling for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han under the erosion of the gentle atmosphere of gold powder in the south of the Yangtze River, seems to be more domineering.
Zhu Gaosui saw Xia Xun, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled lightly and said: "This king has heard that Guogong is coming to Yanjing, but I didn't expect that Guogong is responsible for important things, and he still has leisure to hunt, hehe, it is really unexpected by this king." ” Xia Xun said humbly: "Your Highness said that it was funny, how can the minister have anything important now, the emperor has been working hard for many years, this is a big vacation for the minister, and the minister is on vacation." ” Zhu Gaosui smiled, his eyes swept over the prey carried by several guards behind Xia Xun, and saw that there were only a few rabbits, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and said: "I heard that Guogong likes fists and feet, good knives and guns, but he is not good at riding and shooting, but it seems that it is not the case today, Guogong's harvest is quite rich."
Xia Xun glanced at Zhu Gaosui followed by a few roe deer, deer, pheasant, and fox on horseback, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has won the prize, the minister is not good at riding and shooting, this safari is just to let the horse relax, it is these rabbits, and it is also shot by the minister's female companion, not the credit of the minister." ” I heard that it was Xia Xun's female companion, Zhu Gaosui only regarded it as his family, but it was not good to ask too much, he turned his eyes and asked his subordinates: "What about the white fox?"
One of the guards replied, "Your lord, you have already caused people to chase you down." ” Zhu Gaosui didn't ask anymore when he heard this, he hung up his bow, galloped close to Xia Xun, and said with a smile to the voice that only two people could hear: "Guogong is coming from the north, it doesn't seem to be very proud, how can there be such a Yaxing?"
Xia Xun said calmly: "The fate of people is half determined by heaven and half by themselves.
Half of the heavens are not grasped, and the half of the heavens are not grasped, and if you go with the tide in the half of the heavens, you can't help but be happy and angry, Your Highness thinks that it is fortunate or unfortunate."
Zhu Gaosui glanced at Xia Xun deeply and said, "Half of the heavens are fixed, and you can't fight for it if you don't taste it." ” Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "The mandate of heaven can be contested, and the ministers are willing to hear about it." ” Zhu Gaosui smiled and sighed: "The prince of the country is for the country and the people, and he is born and died, which can be described as hard work.
Especially to protect the prince, save the crisis, but don't want to have today, but the prince has nothing to say for you.
Although Gao Sui and the prince are brothers of the same mother, they are also unhappy with the country. ” Xia Xun smiled faintly and did not answer.
Zhu Gaosui glanced at him, and said tentatively again: "This king is in Beiping, and the nine-sided military aircraft are all under control, and what is lacking is a person who is both wise and brave."
Guogong can come to Beiping, and the king is very happy to hear it.
In the future, I will have to ask the prince for more advice. ” Xia Xun stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please look, my female companion is back."
Zhu Gaosui was diverted from the topic by him, and he was quite unhappy in his heart, and turned his head to look, only to see a horse galloping, like a black cloud coming up, he couldn't help but light up, and blurted out: "Good riding skills" Sakura's people and horses are one, galloping like lightning, letting the horse rise and fall and gallop, the horse's mane hunts in the wind, but she seems to be one with the horse's back, this kind of riding seems to be no different from people, there is a lot of mystery inside, neither bumping themselves, but also not letting the horse produce additional burdens, it is indeed a first-class riding skill, Zhu Gaosui is a big expert, naturally you can see it at a glance.
Sakura galloped over, and when she arrived at Xia Xun's horse, she pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and the horse stopped abruptly, not even breaking a piece of turf, and the equestrian skills of the three guards of Changshan who were just Zhu Gaosui were more than clever.
Zhu Gaosui Dingqing looked at her, seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome and charming, her eyes were slightly blue, and she seemed to have some foreign blood.
Under the sunset, she is dressed in a hunting suit, her thin waist is lined with crisp breasts, and her bee waist and long legs are not as delicate and delicate as the Han women, but she has a straight chest and a straight back, showing her spirit.
Zhu Gaosui originally heard Xia Xun say that he had brought a female companion with him, and thought it was his wife, but looking at this girl, with soft pink lips and a touch of fine hair on her lips, she was a girl who had not yet opened her face, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
