Wishful Things - Chapter 667
Chapter 667 Sudden
At the right time, outside the hunting ground, everyone who participated in the first day of hunting was ready.
Among them, there are several military ministers, and most of them are young children from various prefectures.
Among all the figures, a girl sitting on horseback, wearing a black narrow-sleeved gown, with high crow hair hanging behind her head is undoubtedly particularly conspicuous.
Tao Fu Jiang slightly looked at the old civil servants who were the most conservative in daily life.
Women participated in autumn hunting, this is the first time in Daqing.
This girl Xu, but set a precedent.
Why don’t these little stubborn people who have to take care of everything stop talking today?
sat there, watching their noses and noses, as if they hadn’t seen them at all.
There is no way, who can let this be your Majesty’s permission.
Oh, it may not be all because of this-after all, these people had opposed this before going out of the palace.
The reason for the silence today is probably because…
Taifu Jiang quietly looked at the king of Dongyang who was heading upwards. The old man in scarlet robes sat in the back of the small table full of fruits and snacks, sitting like a mountain, with his big hands resting on his knees, and a pair of eyes that still have gods like profit. Sweeping around like a sword, there was a posture of “I want to see who dares to talk too much”.
Who can handle this?
Compared to the ministers who didn’t seem to have seen the girl, the atmosphere among the female families sitting in the tents with veil hanging on all sides was surging.
“Look, that’s Miss Xu…”
“I have long heard that Miss Xu is quite good at riding and shooting. Looking at it like this, she really has a good command of the door.”
While the ladies talked in low voices, there were also girls with bright eyes and said: “Mother, Miss Xu can participate, then the daughter will go into the mountains tomorrow!”
The woman opened her mouth and thought, “What does a little girl’s house look like with a group of men vying for”, but she swallowed back because of the figure of the girl sitting on horseback.
Some things will always bring new situations once someone sets a precedent, especially when the identity of the precedent is influential.
“Where can you compete with them…” The woman changed her words to the point of her lips: “Your Majesty and so many adults are here, so it’s better not to shame your father.”
The girl pursed her lips, looked at a few famous boys in Beijing on weekdays, and whispered: “They don’t want to be ashamed of the family, I’m so scared.”
“How can your daughter’s family be the same as theirs?” The woman pinched her daughter’s waist gently, interrupting the topic: “Don’t forget what brought you here today…”
The girl quietly rolled her eyes.
Isn’t it just looking at the son of the house?
What’s so good about the son of the Fang family? How can he compare to Miss Xu?
The girl looked at the black figure again, her eyes full of yearning.
At this time, an internal supervisor slowly walked over with a green horse, and immediately sat a young girl with deep facial features in a rouge riding outfit.
”Princess Yongjia…will also participate in the hunt?”
“What’s so strange about this? I heard that the women in the north all grew up on horseback…”
While everyone was talking in low voices, Princess Yongjia had driven the horse to Xu Mingyi’s side, but she didn’t look at Xu Mingyi, she just looked ahead without squinting, and her expression showed a slight sense of arrogance and alienation.
Seeing that the people had arrived, Emperor Zhaozhen spoke. He raised his hand to the treasure-sheathed short knife hanging on one side of the sandalwood stand, and smiled: “This mysterious iron short knife has been with me for nearly 20 years. , Size can be regarded as a hero, so it is used as a prize for winners today!”
A group of military ministers and young children were all refreshed when they heard this, and those military ministers looked like they were sure to win.
Some of them have been on the battlefield. Naturally, they don’t like the fist and embroidered legs of these powerful children. As for the two little girls-on the hunting ground, their own principles are there. This is not the time to be coaxed!
With the sound of drums, everyone drove their horses into the forest.
Xie Wuzheng did not participate. He is now the prince, and if he rushes to join in the fun on the first day, it will be easy for others to be helpless and lose the meaning of hunting.
His eyes follow the black figure subconsciously.
Xu Mingshi also drove his horse behind his sister.
Even though it is the Royal Forest, you can’t just let it go-don’t ask, ask is your own experience.
And Xu Mingyi is the first time he has entered the mountain this time, so he has to be optimistic about people.
He had made up his mind before he came, and he won’t do anything today, just staring at Xu Mingyi!
The boy who seemed to be a dartist had just finished chanting this sentence in his heart, and then he looked forward and couldn’t help but stunned–wait…His goods, ahem, where’s Auntie? !
The mountains and forests here are huge, and everyone dispersed after entering the mountains.
faintly heard the sound of horseshoes approaching behind him, Xu Mingyi slowed down, only if he still couldn’t get rid of the housekeeper of Mingshi.
However, the next moment, Yu Guangnei broke in with a dazzling blush.
“Did Miss Xu go hunting in the mountains before?” Princess Yongjia also slowly got off her horse, looked at the golden leaves of the mountains and raised her jaw slightly and said: “The mountains in Mizhou are much more dangerous than here, and there are often in the mountains. The beasts are infested, and Miss Xu grew up in the capital since she was a child. She hasn’t had a chance to see them–“
Xu Mingyi smiled slightly and said: “Then I will wait to see the princess show off his skills today, so that I can open my eyes.”
It’s just that she has never seen an autumn hunting dress that is so brightly dressed, but she doesn’t know how the other party survived the so-called dangerous place where the beasts are infested-with the help of a group of entourages?
Princess Yongjia chuckled, with a trace of contempt hidden in her eyes, turned her head to look at her and said: “My palace just wants to see the skills of Miss Xu.”
Don’t be able to look at it in the end. On the contrary, it makes people think that it is a name, and then it seems that the so-called military merits are not true or false.
Princess Yongjia glanced at Xu Mingyi last, drank “drive!”, and rode away.
Seeing that bright figure disappeared, Xu Mingyi went in another direction.
Autumn is golden everywhere, and the fruit fragrant everywhere. It is the time when the prey is looking for food to store.
Xu Mingyi found a black mountain boar next to a fallen bamboo forest.
She had already slowed down the horse, and stopped the horse at this time. She raised her hand and took out the longbow behind her back and pulled it up, narrowed her eyes slightly, and silently hit the long arrow.
Holding his breath, as the arrow was slowly aiming at the prey, the horse under him suddenly screamed agitatedly, and then rushed forward.
caught off guard, Xu Mingyi was flashed backwards, and the arrow fell to the ground. She reacted very quickly and grasped the rein, and immediately leaned forward to protect herself as much as possible.
All of this only happened during one breath, and there was no time to think about it. Everything was an instinctive reaction.
And the worse is still to come.
The horse neighed and rushed forward, leading her through the tall thorny bush regardless of her control, and refused to stop no matter how she controlled it.
This horse is a war horse of good pedigree. It is strong and tall, and the speed is like electricity while galloping. The terrain is often uneven and rocks are common. Even if you want to vault, you can’t easily!
Xu Mingyi’s palms holding the reins were already bleeding, but the horse was about to rush up to a high **** in front of him. After the high slope, I don’t know if it was a cliff and a dead end!
Xu Mingyi didn’t dare to take the risk. He pulled the rein with one hand to force the horse to turn to the right, and the other hand touched the steel needle hidden in the girdle—the needle was poisoned and had the effect of paralyzing people into a coma. However, the effect of using it on a large horse will inevitably be much weaker, and the horse will be frightened again after eating pain, and may even appear more manic.
This is why she never did it in the first place.
But now it seems that she can’t control the horse for a while, and she doesn’t dare to bet whether there is a dead end ahead.
I can only give it a try!
Just when the long needle in her hand was about to pierce the horse’s belly, she suddenly heard a familiar sharp scream in the sky.
A black shadow swooped down extremely quickly, blocking the horse’s path.
Before facing danger, the horses neighed and raised their front hoofs, dodged abruptly, and rushed to one side.
Tianmu continued to follow and drive, forcing the horse to turn around.
Xu Mingyi saw the right time. When he passed a relatively flat open space, he slightly lifted his body and rushed to the open space in front of the right. The moment he was thrown off the horse, the steel needle was pushed into forcefully by her. In the skin and flesh of a horse.
The horses screamed and ran forward.
is mixed, and there are other horseshoes, like coming from behind.
And before Xu Mingyi fell to the ground, she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her, and at the same time she had hit a wall of flesh.
The man hugged her tightly, with his big hand behind her head, and rolled twice in the thick fallen leaves until the other’s back hit an old paulownia tree.
“Are you hurt?!”
Listening to this familiar voice, Xu Mingyi said, “I’m fine, how about you!”
She climbed up from his arms, and immediately checked for his injuries.
”I’m fine, and I’m waiting here for my return–” The young man covered in fallen leaves moved neatly to his feet, and without a moment’s delay, he turned on his horse and chased in the direction of the shocked horse.
“Be careful!” Xu Mingyi shouted towards his back.
“rest assured!”
Xu Mingyi calmed down her breathing, and naturally understood why Wu Chao was anxious to chase the frightened horse, just as she had made preparations for a vaulting horse but still stabbed the steel needle.
For one thing, he didn’t want to startle the horse and hurt others in the forest. Second, naturally, it might be useful to keep the horse.
And the horse was hit by a needle and couldn’t go far if he thought about it.
Tenmu slapped her back with wings behind her, as if to clean up the fallen leaves and grass clippings for her, and as if to comfort the frightened person.
Xu Mingyi got up and shook his robe.
At this time, there is the sound of horseshoes approaching again.
is Xu Mingshi.
“What happened?!”
The boy asked in surprise, turning over and getting off his horse, and ran towards her quickly.
“You fell off a horse?! But where did you get hurt?” Xu Mingshi’s face was pale with nervousness.
Sure enough, it won’t work if you don’t pay attention to it for a while!
“Don’t worry, I’m okay.” Xu Mingyi, who was scratched with a shallow blood mark on his face from a branch or a bush, and covered with grass shavings, asked him: “Do you want to be the first today?”
“What do I get first!”
Where does he still have this thought!
Xu Mingyi nodded: “Then borrow your horse for a use.”
While she was talking, she strode towards the big brown horse, grabbed the rein with one hand, and leaped onto the horse back lightly.
“You…you want to go hunting?!”
”You are here waiting for Wu Chao to come back, follow him out of the forest, and wait outside for me to go out.” Xu Mingyi dropped this sentence and drove away, leaving the boy’s objection behind him.
Don’t take part in it. Since she has participated, there is no reason to lose without a fight.
What is surprised is that the horse is not her.
Besides, if someone really doesn’t want to see her show off, then she must do her best.
Xie Wuzheng stopped the frightened horse, and as he turned back on his side, he never saw Xu Mingyi’s shadow again.
”Where is your sister?” the boy dismounted and asked.
“She robbed my horse and ran away!” Xu Mingshi pointed in a direction and said with a black face.
After Xie Wuzheng was taken aback, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“His Royal Highness, can we get her back?” Xu Mingshi was more worried than angry.
Xie Wuzheng: “No, I will urge the imperial army patrolling in the mountains to pay more attention.”
What she wants to do must be done. He can’t stop, and doesn’t want to stop.
She can just do what she wants, and he can handle the rest.
“Plop!”
There was a muffled sound, and the horse that was forcibly supported by him fell to the ground.
Xu Mingshi recognized the horse, “His Royal Highness, this horse…”
“Suddenly went crazy.” Xie Wuzhen was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but said: “I need to take it back and check it.”
Xu Mingshi’s face changed slightly, and he realized what was unusual.
It’s not good for other horses, but this horse was specially selected by his grandfather to give Xu Mingyi. Regardless of its appearance, physical strength or resilience, it is the best, how could it be easy to go crazy?
At this time, a patrolling guard passed by here, and Xie Wuzheng was there, and he hurried forward to salute.
”Take this horse out without a trace of error.”
“Yes, do your humble duty!”
Seeing that the prince emerged from the mountains and forests, the officials were puzzled.
Ben said that His Royal Highness, who would not participate in this hunting, suddenly came into the woods when everyone was in the forest, and changed his mind and chased after him——
But why is the first one to come out now?
Looking closer, I saw that the grandson of Dongyang Palace was also with him.
The Cui family of the female family hurriedly put down the tea cup when he saw this–this stinky boy didn’t guard his sister, why did he come out so early?
Xie Wuzheng and Xu Mingshi got off their horses one after another, and stepped forward to salute Emperor Zhaozhen.
At this moment, everyone saw two guards pulling a cart out of the forest, and on the cart was a big horse that was injured.
King Dongyang suddenly stood up when he saw this.
This is Zhaozhao’s horse!
“Where is your sister? Where is she! But is she injured?” The old man asked his grandson nervously.
I’m afraid this Quanheshan is not against his Xu family!
His grandson almost lost his life here in the spring last year. If there is something wrong this year, he has to level the mountain!
“Grandfather, don’t worry, sister is okay, she robbed…borrowed my horse and is still in the mountains at this time.” Xu Mingshi said: “This horse was frightened for some reason, and fell to the ground after being restrained by His Royal Highness. “
Emperor Zhaozhen also got up when he heard the words, and there were bruises on the young man’s cheeks: “A Yuan is injured?”
“It’s just a skin injury. Father doesn’t have to worry about it.” Xie Wuzheng looked at the horse that was brought forward, and said: “The reason why the children chased into the mountain just now is because the horse flicks its tail frequently when it enters the mountain. Somewhat strange—”
are all people who practice martial arts and march, and are used to dealing with horses. Emperor Zhaozhen and King Dongyang heard this, and they both went to check in person.
There was a low voice of discussion all around.
Seeing this scene, a green-clothed maid clasped her fingers nervously.
Goodnight everybody.
