Chapter 136 Archery
"Huh? Is that the ninth brother?" The second prince looked not far away.
At this time, Wen Yunlin was being held in Qin Jincheng's arms and gently placed on the wheelchair beside him.
As soon as he saw Wen Yunlin, the fourth prince became furious: "Second brother, Wen Yunlin just ignored me on purpose!"
The second prince: "Ninth brother has always been that cold and condescending son, he treats everyone like that, why do you always have trouble with him?"
The fourth prince murmured unconvinced: "I didn't have trouble with him, I talked to him, but he ignored me, and the person he is carrying now, when he saw me just now, he didn't even salute!"
"Earlier, I heard that Jiudi was robbing a slave from a small merchant on the street. The servant who was bought by the small merchant with money hadn't been able to use it for a few days. He just took it to the street to carry goods, so Jiudi fell in love with him. It's gone." The second prince unfolded the folding fan and slapped it lightly: "Could it be that person?"
"Huh? Ninth brother would do such a thing? He lacks servants?" The fourth prince obviously didn't hear these rumors.
The second prince smiled slightly: "I just heard about it, I don't know if it's true, but if it's really that man, it's understandable."
The fourth prince was even more confused: "It's justifiable? Why? I was just punished by my husband to copy the books for a few days, why did I miss so much?"
The second prince showed just the right expression of surprise: "You don't know? Is there any lack of servants?"
"Appearance?" The fourth prince looked over again, with a complex expression: "This appearance is too... tall, right?"
Second Prince: "..."
Indeed, Fan's servant was smaller and more exquisite, with a more delicate appearance, and he could say "the lord of allurement", but he was tall and handsome, and he couldn't be described as a vixen at all.
Coincidentally, at this time, the palace servants from Lingyun Palace also came to move Wen Yunlin's luggage into the tent that had already been set up, but before they got into the carriage, the man had already carried a big burden with one hand, and went to Two of the palace maids took the initiative to put out their hands.
The two palace servants were immediately crushed to the ground.
Everyone: "..."
So the man had no choice but to carry the things by himself, pushing Wen Yunlin's wheelchair with one hand, and went to the tent.
There is not much time left for everyone to organize their luggage. Of course, they don't need to do it themselves, just leave things to the palace people to arrange.As the red sun gradually rises, from the hunting ground, the sun can be seen reaching the mountainside, and the ritual officer also begins to announce the matters that need to be paid attention to in autumn hunting.
Because there is autumn hunting every year, the things that need to be paid attention to are the same, but in order to make autumn hunting more interesting, some new tricks will be added occasionally.
For example, this autumn hunting has added a lottery activity.
The way to draw the lottery is also very simple, that is, every prince and princess, before starting to hunt, has to shoot the target with an arrow. The target is divided into three circles inside, three circles in the middle and three circles outside, and the inside three circles are close to the bull's eye. The outer three laps, the middle three laps are the three outer laps, and the outer three laps are the three outermost laps.
Only those who shoot three circles with the arrow can officially start hunting in the circle hunting range.
And this rule is not only for the princes and princesses, if the princes and princesses want to replace the entourage of the hunting ground, they can't shoot three times in the circle, and they can't enter the hunting ground to hunt.
After the ritual officer read out the new rules, many people showed nervous expressions.
If he misses the target for three rounds, wouldn't he lose the chance of Autumn Hunting?
No way?Why is it so strict this year?In the past, didn't you just hold a bow and arrow, ride a horse, and you could enter the hunting ground?Even if you miss the prey, it's better to just go around in circles than just stay here!
Who the hell came up with this idea!
But at this moment, Emperor Wu came out, followed by Eunuch Yuan.
When everyone saw a pair of bows and arrows in Eunuch Yuan's hands, they knew that Emperor Wu was about to draw the bow himself.
The target in the distance has also been set up, and the ritual officer shouted from the side: "The Holy One opens the bow, and the prosperity will last forever!"
Wuhuang spread his hands, and Duke Yuan put the bow and arrow in Wuhuang's hand.
The scene was silent for a while, and no one dared to disturb Wu Huang's bow.
I saw Wu Huang quickly drew his bow and set his arrow, and the arrow with red tail feathers flew out instantly, flashing an afterimage in front of everyone's eyes, and pierced straight into the bull's-eye in the distance!The arrow body even went straight through the bull's-eye, leaving only a red feather at the bull's-eye.
Everyone knelt down and worshiped: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The Emperor Wu's face was full of joy: "All the princes are flat, and the emperors prepare their own. If you hit the bull's-eye, you can enter the hunting ground."
A father-in-law brought a black horse at the right time, Wu Huang got on the horse without hesitation, whipped the whip, and drove the horse quickly to the hunting ground, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone: "..." Wait?What does it mean?Didn't we enter together?Why did the emperor drive his horse and run away without a trace?
Seeing Wuhuang's figure gradually drifting away, everyone couldn't recover from their sluggishness for a long time.
Wen Yunlin tilted his head slightly, and explained in a low voice to Qin Jincheng: "Last year during the autumn hunting, Father did not hunt hares, but only deer and mountain leopards."
Qin Jincheng raised his eyebrows: "Is this not enough?"
Wen Yunlin coughed softly: "But there is a lame wild rabbit, for some reason, it jumped into the queen's tent by itself."
Qin Jincheng: "The queen raised that rabbit?"
Wen Yunlin: "No, she asked someone to cook and eat. Father brought back the deer and mountain leopard. She said she was full, and said..."
Wen Yunlin lowered his voice again: "He also said that deer and mountain leopards are not tasty."
Qin Jincheng: "..."
Wen Yunlin: "So, if there are no accidents, the hares in this mountain may suffer disaster this year."
Wu Huang set an example and personally demonstrated the rules of the lottery.
As a result, the prince quickly realized that he came to the shooting range, drew his bow and set his arrows at the prescribed distance, and aimed at the bull's-eye.
Eunuch Yuan didn't follow Shengjia, so he stayed in the shooting range and was responsible for explaining the rules.
Eunuch Yuan is already old. During a mutiny, he single-handedly led the young Emperor Wu out of the siege. When he escaped, the knives were slashed and the horses spit. He changed his strength for a horse and a knife and killed a carbine.
Later, when Emperor Wu seized the throne, Eunuch Yuan personally led his soldiers and drove straight in from the east gate of the imperial city. People blocked people from killing people, and Buddhas blocked them from killing Buddhas.
At that time, no one knew that Emperor Wu had a god of death beside him, and no one knew that Wen Ting had a mad dog beside him.
But no matter how brave and mighty he is, he can't stand the hardships of time.
The God of Death back then is now nothing more than an old eunuch with gray hair.
But even if his face is old and his temples are graying, the palace people will not dare to be less respectful to him, and the princes and princesses will not make trouble with him, and Yuan Gonggong stayed here to teach the rules of shooting targets, and no one dared to intervene.
There are a total of ten targets prepared on the shooting range. Each person can only shoot one arrow at a time. If they hit three times, they can mount their horses and enter the hunting ground. If they miss, they will continue to line up.
After a while, the sixth prince and the seventh princess hit the bull's-eye. One rode a red horse and the other rode a white horse. They entered the shooting range one behind the other.
This suddenly stimulated those who missed the shot, so they all geared up, just waiting for the next one to hit.
But at this moment, a person who was obviously unlikely to appear in this place appeared at the back of the team.
The eighth princess rubbed her eyes, thinking that she must be blind today.
Otherwise, how could she have seen Jiudi patted behind her in a wheelchair?
"Ninth Brother?" She asked tentatively.
Wen Yunlin nodded: "Morning, Miss Huang."
"Ninth brother also wants to shoot arrows?" The eighth princess looked surprised.
Others also looked over one after another, the fourth prince sneered, and just about to speak, Wen Yunlin said: "I want to hunt a small animal and give it to my sweetheart."
The fourth prince choked on the saliva on the spot and coughed violently.
Wen Yunlin's words were too straightforward and righteous, perfectly echoing the deep meaning of the autumn hunt, making it impossible for people to think of rebuttals and ridicules.
No, who dares to laugh at it!This is the rule set by the ancestors, to give the first prey of the autumn hunt to the sweetheart, which means that there is only one in this life, and this love is the only one.
Even if the Ninth Prince has a handicap, he can have the thought of shooting a prey as a gift to his sweetheart. Even if they don't help, they shouldn't laugh at it.
No matter how impulsive the Fourth Prince was, he would not use this as an argument, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
The eighth princess covered her mouth and smiled: "Ninth brother has a sweetheart? Then you really should shoot a prey. Come on, I will give you this chance as well. You shoot twice, and I will go to the back row."
The eighth princess looked at Yuan Gonggong: "Yuan Gonggong, is this okay? Doesn't it break the rules?"
Eunuch Yuan cupped his hands: "Since Her Royal Highness has given up her own number of times, it is naturally possible."
"Thank you, Sister Huang, then Yunlin will not be disrespectful." Wen Yunlin did not give in, but responded decisively, and it happened to be their turn, so Wen Yunlin took the initiative to turn his wheelchair and took the arrow handed over by Qin Jincheng.
Many people paid attention to this side, even the second prince, who had already had his turn to shoot an arrow, looked over, wondering if Wen Yunlin could hit it.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Wen Yunlin quickly drew the bow, but instead of aiming at the bull's-eye, it aimed at a higher position.
Seeing that the tip of his arrow was clearly deflected, the second prince couldn't help laughing and said, "Ninth brother, you can't hit it like this..."
Before the words were finished, the arrow flew out with a "swoosh", drew an arc in mid-air, and finally landed on the bull's-eye.
The reason why the word "falling" is used is because the arrow really flew upwards. After flying, the arrow fell quickly due to insufficient force. Into the bull's-eye.
Wen Yunlin smiled: "It's really dangerous, I almost missed the target."
Everyone: "..." Is this okay? ! ! !
