Chapter 141: Northwest Falling Stars

Zhu Qizhen's joy did not last long.

Yili, autumn is high and cool. The steppe is at its best, winter has not yet come, and all the animals have grown up after a summer, accumulating fat in order to survive the winter.

This is the best time to hunt.

And the hunting madman Shi Heng will never miss it.

In fact, Shi Heng is now obsessed with hunting. It's also something that can't be helped.

There is a stark contrast between Shi Heng and Yang Hong, Yang Hong is calm, he can be called an old treacherous and cunning, and he advances and retreats in a certain way. But Shi Heng was extremely active.

Even when Longcheng was guarded, the Mongol tribes on the Mobei steppe were a little untamed. Shi Heng recruited it.

It's not so much that these Mongolian tribes have different intentions, it's better to say that Shi Heng can't be idle.

The same is true in the Northwest.

It's just that the situation in Ili is different from Mobei.

Although Mobei is far away, it is closely connected with the rear. Moreover, although the tribes are separated, even if they are united, they may not be able to defeat Shi Heng.

But that's not the case today.

Ili is only connected to the imperial court by one road, that is, from Luntai to the southeast.

To the east is the Maurir Sea, to the south is the Tien Shan, to the west is the Tile, and to the north is a piece of permafrost. The tribes in the Ili River Valley had long been properly packed up by Shi Heng, and almost all the people of the tribes were assigned to the Ming soldiers who were guarding as slaves.

This practice may not be suitable within the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen is now trying to reduce the existence of slaves, but in the place of Yili, it is very suitable.

The land of Ili was suitable for cultivation and grazing, and these lands and slaves were distributed to the soldiers, and tens of thousands of garrisons became the masters of Yili, and the Ming Dynasty took root in Yili.

But outside of the Ili River Valley, Shi Heng could not move lightly.

Although Shi Heng is frivolous, he is not a fool.

The west side of the tile spur, at least a hundred thousand cavalry can be gathered. If the imperial court supports it, Shi Heng is naturally not afraid, but after he was imprisoned once, he also knew that there were some things that could not be done. As for the Maori Boy, although there are not many men and horses in the headquarters, there are probably tens of thousands of cavalry, which is comparable to the Ili garrison.

However, the relationship network of Maoli children is large, and the relationship network of the Maori family even leads directly to the city of Beijing, not to mention that they are in-law with King Yi.

Although the king of Yi was in the city of Ili, he did not have much power. The real power is all in his hands. But King Yi is King Yi after all.

Shi Heng also wants to save face.

First, the noble status of King Yi. Second, it is also the identity of King Yi that is easy to use, and many decrees, if Shi Heng orders alone, there is a suspicion of trespassing, but if it is ordered in the name of King Yi, it is justified.

As for the south of the Tianshan Mountains, don't even think about it.

Although there are various toasts in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, they are not too peaceful, but Shi Heng

Can you fly over the Tien Shan Mountains? Bai Gui would never let Shi Heng interfere in the affairs south of the Tianshan Mountains.

Shi Heng looked left and right, and it seemed that he could only hunt.

Fortunately, the Western Regions are large, and as long as the weather is good, they will bring thousands of cavalry to hunt. One is hunting, the other is military training, and even deterring potential opponents.

There were even times when Shi Heng hit Andijan with a fight. It seems that he is going to cross the border to the west.

Makes the Tile Spur nervous.

Now this season is a good season for hunting, where can Shi Heng sit still.

So he took more than 1,000 soldiers to hunt at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

But he saw that although Shi Heng was gray-haired, he was extremely athletic, driving his horse to gallop, opening his bow left and right, chasing a flock of sheep, and fleeing in a hurry, and every time Shi Heng fired an arrow, a yellow sheep was shot to death.

He abandoned it, and naturally had his own soldiers to clean it up.

It's just that he rushed fast and fast. Soon left the pro-soldiers behind. A group of pro-soldiers collected their prey in the back, and a team chased after them along the trail.

An earth-shattering roar was heard in the distance.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, this was a tiger's roar.

The soldiers were immediately frightened, and they didn't care about anything, and hurriedly rushed over.

And at this moment, Shi Heng also heard the tiger's roar.

But I saw a yellow shadow rushing out from somewhere, and I was shocked that these yellow sheep immediately turned around, but where was the time, they immediately pounced on one, and bit the neck of the yellow sheep with a big mouth, bit it off, and then dragged it away.

Tigers are actually very intelligent animals.

They don't want to be in conflict with people if they can.

It's just that the tiger wanted to run, but Shi Heng didn't let it.

Shi Heng was simply overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and shouted, "Good beast, you actually dare to rob Lao Tzu's prey." "Immediately let go of the yellow sheep and shoot at the tiger.

Arrows are like beads. But in an instant, he shot several shots.

Although the tiger had thick skin, it was also shot and bloodied.

The tiger roared several times, put down the yellow sheep and fled to the mountain.

Shi Heng naturally rode his horse to chase after him, and after a short time, the tiger entered the mountains and forests.

If ordinary people chase here, they will naturally have to give up. But who is Shi Heng, although he is alone, he does not think twice, turns over and dismounts, takes off the spear hanging on the horse, the saber, and a fire gun pinned to his waist, and walks up the mountain.

Following the bloodstain of the tiger, but after walking more than a hundred steps, I heard a fury, and the big insect came back.

It can be seen that Shi Heng shot it several arrows in a row, obviously angering it.

Shi Heng's eyes were quick, and with a finger of the spear, he stabbed it violently.

Good guys, as soon as they meet, they will share life and death.

But seeing that it was an inch long and an inch strong, the spear in Shi Heng's hand stabbed into the tiger's shoulder, but he didn't want the tiger to come unabated, so he only heard a crash.

The barrel of the gun, which was as solid as iron and stone, broke in an instant, and the tiger was about to pounce on Shi Heng.

Shi Heng abandoned his gun and drew his sword, and only had time to take a step back. The tiger pounced on Shi Heng.

Shi Heng came out to hunt, but he was not wearing heavy armor, only a light armor that protected his torso, and was slapped on it by a tiger. immediately overwhelmed Shi Heng. At this time, Shi Heng didn't want to defend much, but the long knife went straight into the tiger's chest and stabbed it.

Just like that, one tiger fell to the ground one by one.

Shi Heng only felt that his body seemed to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai, and he couldn't breathe at all, and the iron sleeves on his wrists were used to resist the tiger's claws.

Under this pressure, Shi Heng didn't have time to think about it at all. I can only use all my strength. He seemed to go back to his youth all at once.

Shi Heng was originally a fierce general. And this year, he is old and frail, and his body is not as good as before. If you are young, you will encounter a tiger in the mountains and forests, as long as you are fully armed, who wins and who loses, it will be uncomfortable.

Shi Heng shouted, and actually stiffly lifted the tiger up and got out from under the tiger.

When I looked back, I was relieved, but I saw that this tiger had more air out and less air in.

The tiger had several arrow wounds on his body, which was not lightly injured, and he was stabbed by Shi Heng with a shot and a knife, and he was hit by the key point at that time, otherwise it would be really difficult for Shi Heng to escape from the tiger's claws.

Shi Heng felt relieved for a moment, and he no longer had any strength in his body, regardless of the situation around him, lying behind the tiger's pool of blood, looking at the tiger's corpse, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I have a skin." ”

At this moment he heard a loud shout outside, "General, General." ”

Shi Heng staggered up and said, "I'm here." ”

After a while, these pro-soldiers all came. Seeing that Shi Heng was covered in blood, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "General, how are you?" ”

Shi Heng waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Just when Shi Heng blurted out, he only felt dizzy, and he couldn't stand for a while. He passed out.

These pro-soldiers were shocked and immediately helped Shi Heng back to Ili.

Although many famous doctors gathered in Yili, Shi Heng did not wake up again after all.

Shi Heng has been so strong in his life, he died on top of this strong man, he is in his sixties, although his physical fitness has always been good, but he is not a young man after all.

In the fight with the tigers, Shi Heng's outburst brought a heavy burden to himself. If Shi Heng was young, maybe he would have recovered after a period of cultivation.

But whether Shi Heng admits it himself or not, Shi Heng is old after all.

Thus, the tiger finally came to an end in history in this dramatic way.

Shi Heng's death is not an end, but a beginning.

When Shi Heng had just died, many people didn't realize how important this old man who was hunting everywhere was, but soon everyone knew.

Because, all kinds of contradictions suppressed by Shi Hengwei's name, because of Shi Heng's death, all broke out all at once.
