Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 61

Holding Junhua on the horse, Wei Chongrong took control of the horse and ran in the paddock. Their speed is not very fast, but for Junhua, it is already a very exciting experience. He pointed at the pheasants and hares running by in front of him, and clucked excitedly.

Hearing a “huh” sound, an arrow passed in front of them and nailed it to a hare who was desperately trying to escape.

Wei Chongrong looked up and saw Huo Yingying wearing a red riding uniform and holding a bow in her hand. Obviously, the arrow just now was shot by her, right at the center of the mouth.

Junhua turned his head and looked at Wei Chongrong with bright eyes: “Brother Rong, let’s go fight the little rabbit too!”

Wei Chongrong frowned and said, “Little monkey, we didn’t bring bows and arrows.” Shanglin Spring Hunting, bows and arrows are strictly controlled. Each arrow has a number on it, and everyone must register when they lead the arrow. Wei Chongrong thought about playing with Junhua today, but didn’t go to lead the arrow at all.

Jun Hua blinked, pulled his sleeves and said coquettishly: “It’s okay, let’s go back and get the bow and arrow.” The sister in red is so powerful, he wants to be like her, if brother Rong is willing to help him He is so busy, he will definitely be able to beat the sixth prince.

Wei Chongrong was entangled by Junhua and had no choice but to take him to receive a bow and arrow. And because Junhua wanted to draw the bow and shoot the arrow himself, Wei Chongrong specially chose the lightest bow and the shortest arrow. It’s convenient, but I don’t know how it works.

Hunting in the royal paddock would not really allow the little princes and princesses to carry bows and arrows and go all over the mountains to find prey. There will be guards riding in front of them to drive them away and gather the small animals to make it easier for them to hit the prey.

In the past, Wei Chongrong participated in the hunting alone, and he was a leader, far away from the crowd. Today, with Junhua, you can’t be too reckless. The little guy has just learned archery and can barely hit the fixed target. It’s hard to say when he shoots running prey on horseback.

Wei Chongrong carefully controlled the reins to prevent the horse from running too fast. Jun Hua opened his bow and shot an arrow at a golden pheasant that was leisurely basking in the sun not far away. His aim is not bad, but his strength is not enough, and the arrow misses a step away from the golden pheasant.

The golden pheasant, who was lucky enough to escape, jumped on the spot twice, but did not escape. Jun Hua was not convinced, he drew an arrow from his back and opened his bow again to shoot. Wei Chongrong closed his eyes, unable to bear to see this scene. Sure enough, this arrow deviates even more, at least two or three steps away.

Realizing that someone would never give up unless someone shot him, the golden pheasant flapped its wings twice and scrambling to escape.

Junhua put down the little bow in his hand and said in frustration, “Brother Rong, am I so stupid that I can’t shoot anything…”

Seeing his unhappy look, Wei Chongrong quickly encouraged him: “My little monkey is the smartest, who dares to say you’re stupid! Archery will get better if you practice a few more times, you’re still young, Don’t worry, take your time, and I’ll teach you.”

Jun Hua was still a little unhappy, and muttered: “Daddy told me that when Brother Rong was the same age as me, he was already the number one in Gong Xue, and no one can compare to you. The sixth prince is one year younger than me. Years old, but I can’t even win against him, what a shame!”

Wei Hao? ! Wei Chongrong recalled that when they came over from the forest before, they did see him carrying an injured little white rabbit. But Wei Hao was carried by Yan Li on horseback, and it is hard to say whether the little white rabbit he shot had had Yan Li’s help.

Thinking of this, Wei Chongrong put it in Junhua’s ear and said, “It doesn’t matter, little monkey. Next time we see the prey, we will draw the bow together, and we will make sure that you will not come home empty-handed.” Self-confidence still needs to be protected.

“Mmmm.” Seeing Wei Chongrong’s promise to help him, Junhua’s expression turned cloudy, and he smiled again.

After appeasing Jun Hua, Wei Chongrong tightened the reins and set off again. He saw several little rabbits jumping around in front of him.

At this moment, Wei Chongrong heard a long neigh of a horse behind him, he turned his head and looked, his face changed suddenly.

It turned out that the dark horse Wei Mao was riding suddenly went crazy, raised its front hooves and rushed forward like crazy, surpassing them in an instant.

Wei Mao was pale with fright and dripping with cold sweat. He grabbed the reins, trying to control the horse to slow down. But the dark horse was confused and didn’t listen to his orders at all. He screamed sharply and rushed forward, getting faster and faster, almost throwing Wei Mao off.

“Third brother, don’t panic, hurry up, I’ll find a way to save you.” Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wei Chongrong chased after him.

It’s just that his horse is not as good as Wei Mao’s, and the dark horse has gone crazy and can’t catch up at all, and the gap between the two is getting wider and wider. Seeing that the dark horse was about to run out of his range, Wei Chongrong didn’t dare to delay any longer. He grabbed Junhua’s bow, drew an arrow from his back, and shot it with his bow.

With a “whoosh” sound, Wei Chongrong’s arrow shot into the dark horse’s neck. If Wei Chongrong had used his usual bow, the arrow would definitely have sunk into the dark horse’s neck. Unfortunately, this bow was chosen for Junhua, it was too light and the stone power was not enough.

The dark horse was stimulated and became even more crazy. Wei Mao closed his eyes and pulled the reins tightly.

Wei Chongrong shouted badly, but he was too far away from Wei Mao to be able to help him at all, and the guards didn’t have time to rush over.

Seeing that Wei Mao couldn’t hold on anymore, he was thrown to the ground by the out-of-control dark horse, and another arrow came swiftly with the sound of breaking through the sky.

After being hit by an arrow, the dark horse fell to the ground, Wei Mao fell to the ground, and his feet were so soft that he couldn’t stand up at all.

Wei Chongrong arrived in a hurry with Jun Hua, he jumped off his horse, knelt beside Wei Mao and asked, “Third brother, how are you?”

Wei Mao kept breathing heavily. It took a long time before he raised his head, looked at Wei Chongrong and asked, “You saved me?”

Wei Chongrong shook his head and replied honestly, “I shot the first arrow, and the bow is not good enough, so I almost did a disservice.”

Junhua didn’t know why, but he felt thrilled and added: “That’s my bow.” Wei Chongrong rubbed Junhua’s head and motioned him to stop talking with his eyes. Stimulating him, Jun Hua nodded obediently.

Wei Mao heaved a long sigh: “I still have to thank you, much faster than those guards.”

Wei Chongrong pulled out the arrow, looked at the number on it, and handed it to Wei Mao: “Send someone to find out who is your real savior.” When he and Jun Hua arrived, who was next to Wei Mao? None, and it is estimated that he did not see clearly who rescued him.

Wei Mao took the arrow and did not speak for a long time. At this time, the guards rushed over, and they couldn’t help feeling relieved to see that the two little princes and the little prince of Zhaoyang Hou were all safe and sound. The same is the crime of breach of duty. Whether the little masters have an accident or not, the results are completely different.

Seeing that Wei Mao was almost slowing down, Wei Chongrong helped him stand up and asked the guards to send him back. Wei Mao handed the arrow to the guards and asked them to find out who the owner of the arrow was, and he had to report it to him quickly.

With such a thing happening, today’s hunt must not continue. Wei Xuan was even more shocked when she heard the words, and immediately ordered someone to investigate, who had the courage to murder his younger brother, and when he found out, he would definitely die.

After a while, the people from the Royal Horse Supervisor came to report that the mad horse had no symptoms of illness before, and there was no other abnormality.

Wei Xuan frowned and said in a very unkind tone: “You mean, that horse went mad for no reason?”

The groom shook his head again and again and kept kowtowing to apologize. In fact, he also felt inexplicable, but this sounded like a shirk of responsibility, he did not dare to say it in front of King Linzi, saying it would only add another level of sin.

Wei Xuan drank the groom and retreated, frowning, and pondering deeply. He must find out about this matter, otherwise, the two fathers will not be able to explain it. The opponent was probably not targeting Wei Mao, but the entire East Palace.

The arrow that shot the dark horse quickly found out who the owner was, it was none other than Huo Yingying.

When the news spread, everyone, including Wei Chongrong, felt unbelievable. Wei Chongrong doesn’t doubt Huo Yingying’s arrow skills, but at the age of eight, can she really have that kind of power?

The number on the arrow cannot be faked, and the arrow was indeed led by Huo Yingying.

It was certain that Huo Yingying had rescued Wei Mao, and both the queen and the crown prince had rewarded her. Wei Mao even went to the door of Prince Qin’s mansion in person and expressed his gratitude to Huo Yingying for saving her life. In the face of many awards, Huo Yingying maintained her usual calm and silence.

A few days later, the reason for the black horse’s madness was found out. It was said that the people of the Royal Horse Supervisor accidentally mixed in a wild grass when feeding it. This grass mixed with some kind of spice would cause the horse to go mad. The emperor was furious and punished the relevant person in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor.

Wei Chongrong is skeptical about this result. The imperial horse has so many horses in custody, and the feeding is carried out uniformly. If it is said that the horse grass is wrong, it should not be only one horse that is crazy, but some A lot of horses are right.

There is also the so-called spice. He doesn’t know about other people. Can Wei Mao still not understand? This trigger condition.

Wei Chongrong was very suspicious that the person who manipulated the dark horse wanted to target not Wei Mao, but him.

Because of the spring hunts in the past few years, he always chose the strongest and fastest horse. If he hadn’t brought Junhua this year, he would definitely choose the dark horse. Its size, its momentum, compared with other horses, it is completely different from the realm.

But, who is going to hurt him? Wei Chongrong couldn’t understand. He, a prince of the county prince who has not been officially canonized, shouldn’t be in the eyes of anyone, right? In the past, he could still think that Wei Mao could not get along with him. Now, this may not be there anymore, not to mention whether Wei Mao is really interested in befriending him, so he took the initiative to take away the crazy dark horse, and he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Just when Wei Chongrong was confused, Tuoba Xianhan provided him with a useful clue.

On the day of the hunt, before Wei Chongrong took Junhua to choose a horse, he saw someone approaching the dark horse. At that time, Tuoba Xianhan thought that the man was picking horses for his master and didn’t care. Later, when Wei Mao’s incident happened, he paid attention to check that person.

It turned out that the man had had contact with the Fifth Prince Wei Shi.

Wei Shi? ! Wei Chongrong almost doubted his ears. The two of them really have no grievances in past lives, and no enmity in this life.

No matter in which life, Wei Chongrong’s impression of Wei Shi is a standard little transparency. In the previous life, Wei Shi was crowned the king at the age of eleven, and immediately became a vassal. Among Wei Su’s six sons, he was considered the worst.

There are four elder brothers in Wei Shi, the eldest brother is the crown prince for the time being, the second brother is the king of Zheng, the third brother is the king of Lu, the fourth brother is the king of Qin, and the fiefs are richer than the other. Speaking of the time of the vassal, Zheng Wang Weixu died early, and Qin Wang Weizhao was captured, but they have never been to their vassal land since the day they became kings. Wei Xiao, the king of Lu, went to the vassal, but he also went after he was married at the age of 20, unlike Wei Xu, who was sent to the fief by Wei Su when he was only eleven years old.

In this life, the time when Wei Shi was crowned king has not changed, and the title has not changed, but the emperor’s thinking has changed, and he did not let him go to the vassal at a young age.

For this reason, Wei Chongrong and Wei Shi had very little contact, and occasionally they met in the palace, but it was just a nodding acquaintance. If the grievances of the previous generation are pursued, only Wei Shi owes Wei Chongrong, because the person who framed Wei Zhao and was captured is Wei Shi’s uncle Li Wei.

It’s just that the deceased died, but was still killed in battle. The emperor later learned the truth from Wei Zhao and did not make it public.

After all, Li Yan’s heroic image has been established for many years, and Wei Zhao has no evidence and no evidence. Just pulling him down from the altar will only cause a backlash from the people, thinking that he is looking for excuses and scapegoats for his defeat, even if what he said is all true.

Wei Chongrong didn’t know if Wei Xuan didn’t find out about Wei Shi, or if he found something more inconvenient to tell. However, when it came to his own personal safety, Wei Chongrong told Wei Zhao the information he knew without reservation, and the rest was out of his control.

Wei Chongrong fully thought that Wei Zhao would quickly find out the cause of the incident as he did in the past. After all, Wei Shi is just a little prince who has not yet opened his palace, and he has no mother family to rely on. When he does something in the palace, his hands and feet cannot be too clean.

Unexpectedly, within two days, Wei Zhao told him very seriously that the matter was over, and he would not bring it up again.

Wei Chongrong was stunned, and immediately realized that this matter was more complicated than he imagined. Wei Xuan couldn’t investigate it, and Wei Zhao was equally helpless.

After the spring hunt, Wei Chongrong became cautious when he entered the palace to study, and he would never walk around outside the palace school.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is still, he can be said to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. In the 51st year, the emperor’s body has become good and bad. No matter how restrained the prince and the king of Qin are, all kinds of reasonable and unreasonable arguments are still spreading like wildfire.

At first, Wei Chongrong didn’t care about Wei Su’s illness. In the last life, the crown prince and Princess Yuankang were unjustly killed, Wei Zhao was captured and committed suicide, and the emperor sacrificed himself for the country.

Today, the scourge of witchcraft has not happened. The emperor’s sons, except Wei Xu, are all still alive. The lost land in the northern Xinjiang has been recovered, and a large area of ​​Lingzhou has been opened up. No matter what Wei Chongrong thought, he felt that Wei Su might have lived a few more years than before.

He even secretly sympathized with his uncle, the prince, because he was born relatively late. He was the son of Wei Su who was born at a young age. Otherwise, depending on Wei Su’s lifespan, if he was a little careless, he might not be able to survive him. That would be tragic.

Not wanting Wei Su’s condition to keep getting worse and worse, Sun Ye and Shangguan Xiang had a consultation with the emperor. The conclusion of the two is the same, that is, the emperor does not have a fatal disease, but is old, and his lifespan is up, and the medicine stone is useless.

Wei Chongrong was horrified when he heard the news. What was the reason? Could it be said that when the state and family affairs were a mess in the past, the emperor insisted that he did not dare to die, but now his wish has been fulfilled, and he has no worries, but he can’t hold it anymore.
