Chapter 19 Chapter 93 Chasing the White Fox

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the grass is dark yellow. The blue and far-reaching sky, the light and leisurely white clouds, the fruitful countryside, and the forested mountains The northern climate in late autumn is clear, elegant, free and easy, and proud, which can sweep away all the worries of people. As soon as she was in the wild, Sakura really changed her appearance, like a tube of juicy green onions, wilted by the scorching sun, and drenched by rain, she immediately regained her vigor and stood up straight body.Not only his face is radiant, but his eyes are also full of radiance.

In the past, she rode her horse and galloped every day on the prairie, and she was very wild. After arriving in the Central Plains, she lived in Moling Town, and she could often go for a walk in the fields. The officials of Tianfu went out to do errands, but they were bored in the car all the way north. After finally arriving in Yanjing, they only lived in the posthouse. This was not the life she was used to. Now on the grassland, she has finally turned into her again, the fierce and wild daughter of Changshengtian. Xia Xun watched her gallop with a smile and cheered loudly.Xia Xun was wearing a black hunting suit, and the tight hunting suit wrapped his tall and healthy body, like a mighty and vigorous cheetah, while Sakura Xia Xun, who was also wearing a black suit, had to admit that the female leopard seemed more beautiful than the male leopard. wild.

The emperor had not yet moved north, so Yanjing did not circle the royal hunting grounds.However, the large mountains and grasslands in the eastern suburbs were originally the royal hunting grounds of the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty. After the king of Yan took control of Yanjing, he often hunted here. Naturally, ordinary people were never allowed to enter, so the vegetation and creatures here have not been affected too much. destruction.Now Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is in Yanjing, and it is also this area where he often goes hunting. Because this area is formed according to the natural terrain of the mountain and the grassland, it is very wide. After leaving the road and turning into the grassland, and gradually reaching the depths, as far as the eyes can see, it is the same as the grassland outside the Great Wall, and it cannot be seen. Where is the edge, but the most animals in the surrounding area are rabbits, gray rabbits, white rabbits and big black rabbits. It is difficult to see more animals. Going deeper, there are large predators such as pheasants, muntjacs, and red deer. grass animals.

Tigers and wolves are not seen in this area, so although some people occasionally poach, it actually plays a role in balancing the animal chain, and does not cause damage to the natural and ecological environment here.Xia Xun's safari team was not big, only him, Xiao Ying, 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 a patrol and inspection department around the area to patrol and monitor. Seeing that it is Fu Guogong and his party, they naturally let it go. Xia Xun didn't add hawks and dogs, but only carried a pot of arrows, a bow, and more than twenty guards. Along the way, Xia Xun shot more empty arrows. Only once, a gray rabbit panicked and shot at him. The horse rushed forward, Xia Xun shot an arrow, and shot the gray rabbit straight. The rest of the prey on the horse's butt were shot by Xiao Ying and a group of guards. Xia Xun was not depressed, just looked at Xiao Ying's A high-spirited look is actually enough. Could it be that a lively beauty is not as cute as a rabbit?

When we reached a mountain depression, it was getting late, and the golden crow was already hanging in the sky. Xia Xun turned his head and smiled at Xin Lei who was following him: "It's getting late, so let's pitch a tent in this valley. See if there is a spring in that valley. Use the spring water to peel and wash the prey, and eat grilled meat tonight!After a pause, he said: You are allowed to drink! As soon as the words fell, there was a whistle in the distance, and Sakura's cry of surprise: There is a fox, but it is still a white fox! Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and saw that Xiaoying was flying like a horse and had already rushed to the depths of the grassland. Then, more than a dozen fast horses rushed out of the valley. When they saw someone outside the valley, someone immediately shouted: "Who is hunting here?"Have you ever seen a white fox chased by my prince?

Xia Xun raised his horse to meet him, and said in a low voice, "Here is Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo. He came from the valley, but His Royal Highness King Zhao?" The dozen or so guards in the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty heard that the stalker was a prince, but they did not dare to act presumptuously. At that moment, some people rode their horses back to report the news, and others came forward to greet Xia Xun, and the rest of them With sharp eyes, he saw a horse fleeing far away, and a white hair appeared and disappeared on the tip of the grass. He knew it was the white fox they were chasing, so he hurriedly chased after it.

After a while, the sound of hoofbeats in the valley was sudden, and dozens of fast horses rushed out like thunder. Xia Xun stood still and looked head-on, only to see dozens of fast horses galloping out of the valley mouth, and immediately separated to the left and right, as if Xia Xun was standing on the ground. There is an invisible boulder, and they are a rushing torrent, dozens of cavalry officers are divided into left and right, reining in their horses like wild goose wings, standing still, and their movements are uniform. Dozens of iron cavalry, from movement to stillness in an instant, people do not bow their heads, horses do not shake their manes, under the evening wind and sunset, they are like sculptures made of fine iron, their momentum is really extraordinary.Seeing this, Xia Xun couldn't help admiring secretly: A tiger father has no dogs!None of the three sons of Emperor Yongle is mediocre!

Immediately afterwards, a burly man with seven feet in the back, blue and white arrow sleeves, a red ribbon tied around his waist, and his hair tied to his forehead held a hard bow made of Tuomu in one hand, and rode his horse slowly out. Under the red sun, long shadows dragged far away on the grass. Xia Xun kicked the stirrup with both feet, drove the horse forward, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "My minister Yang Xu, I have seen His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."It has been so many years since His Majesty, and seeing him today, His Majesty's majesty seems to have a bit of the charm of His Majesty back then!

When Zhu Gaosui left Jinling for Yanjing, he was still a young man who had just grown up, but now he has been a fan of Yanjing for almost ten years.When King Zhao took over Yanjing, the emperor issued a decree that all government affairs in Beiping would be carried out after King Zhao was appointed.Over the years, King Zhao's government affairs in Yanjing have always been interrupted, and his authority has become more and more serious. He led Chang Shan's three guards.As the king of Zhao, the soldiers selected by the three guards of Changshan are naturally first-class heroes in the frontier army. He can also supply weapons, armor and other military supplies first. The three guards of Yanshan Mountain did not give in. After a long time of nurturing, this King Zhao has indeed become more majestic. At present, he seems to be more domineering than Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who has lived in Jinling for a long time and has been eroded by the gentle atmosphere of Jiangnan gold fans. .

Seeing Xia Xun, Zhu Gaosui twitched his mouth slightly, and teased with a light smile: I have heard that the Duke is coming to Yanjing, but I didn't expect that the Duke has an important business to do, and he would still be free to go hunting, haha , It was beyond the king's expectation. Xia Xun said humbly: Your Highness is joking, what else is there to do now, the emperor thinks that I have worked so hard for many years, this is a big vacation for my minister, and I am asking him to take a rest. Zhu Gaosui chuckled, his eyes glanced at the prey carried on the horses of several guards behind Xia Xun, and saw that there were only a few rabbits, he couldn't help being a little amused, and said: I heard that the Duke likes fists, is good at swords and spears, but he is not good at riding and shooting. Otherwise, the Duke has gained a lot!

Xia Xun squinted Zhu Gaosui at the deer, deer, pheasant, and foxes on horseback, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm not good at riding and shooting. This hunting is just to let the horses relax. It's these rabbits." , It was also shot by the minister's female companion, not the credit of the humble minister. Hearing that it was Xia Xun's female companion, Zhu Gaosui only regarded it as his family member, so he didn't want to ask too many questions. He looked around and asked his subordinates: "Where's the white fox?" A guard replied: "My lord, I have been chased down." After Zhu Gaosui heard this, he stopped asking. He hung up his bow, galloped towards Xia Xun, and said with a half-smile to the voice that only two people could hear: "The Duke seems to be not very proud of coming from the north, right? Why is he still so elegant?" Xia Xun said calmly: The fate of a person is half determined by the sky and half by himself.I can't control the half of the destiny, if I follow the trend of the half of the destiny, I can't help myself, His Highness thinks, is it luck or misfortune? Zhu Gaosui took a deep look at Xia Xun, and said: "Half of the destiny, it is not impossible to fight for it." Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the destiny to be contested?"I would like to hear the details. Zhu Gaosui smiled and sighed: "The Duke of the state has worked hard for the country and the people, and he has been born and died. It can be said that he has worked hard and made great achievements."Especially trying to protect the prince, trying to turn the tide, but not wanting to be here today, but the prince didn't say a word to be fair to you.Even though Gao Sui and the crown prince are brothers of the same mother, they still hold grievances for the Duke. Xia Xun smiled faintly and didn't answer. Zhu Gaosui glanced at him, and then tentatively said unwillingly: "This king is in Beiping, and the military aircraft on the nine frontiers is in control. What is lacking is a man with both wisdom and courage."The king is very happy to hear that the Duke of the state can come to Peiping.For many important events in the future, I still have to ask the Duke for advice. Xia Xun pointed and said with a smile: Your Highness, please look, my female companion is back! Zhu Gaosui was quite displeased when he diverted the topic. He turned his head and saw a horse galloping towards him, like a black cloud slowly approaching. His eyes lit up, and he blurted out praise: Good riding skills! Xiaoying is one with the horse, galloping like lightning, letting the steed gallop up and down, the mane fluttering in the wind, but she seems to be integrated with the horse's back, this kind of riding seems to be no different from human beings, there is a lot of mystery in it, and it is not bumpy He himself, without causing extra burden to the horse, is indeed a first-class riding skill. Zhu Gaosui is a great expert, so he can tell it at a glance. Xiaoying galloped towards Xia Xun's horse, and reined in abruptly before Xia Xun's horse, and the horse stopped abruptly without even breaking through a piece of turf. This move was more than superior to Zhu Gaosui's equestrian skills of Chang Shan's three guards just now.Zhu Gaosui looked at her intently. She was seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome and charming, with blue eyes, which seemed to be of alien origin. In the setting sun, she was dressed in a hunting suit, her slender waist set off her breasts and plump breasts, her waist and long legs were not like the delicate and delicate Han women, but her chest was straight and her back was straight, showing her spirit.When Zhu Gaosui heard Xia Xun said that he brought a female companion with him, he thought it was his wife and relatives, but looking at this girl, with soft pink lips and a touch of fine hair on her lips, she is a girl who has not yet opened her face. Surprised.
