Chapter 344: Crisis Comes
After being together for a while, King Yong Hongyu took his ten sect guards and prepared to leave.
According to the royal brother, he had heard someone say that there used to be a white-skinned tiger in the vicinity, so he wanted to try his hand at hunting it.
It is best to be able to capture it alive, but if not, they hunt the beast and skin it as a gift to their father.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a while.
Eleven people, hunting tigers in the deep mountains and forests?
From a certain point of view, this second brother won the favor of their father, and it was really hard enough.
However, this also reminded Zhao Hongrun: Could it be that all the royal brothers have always participated in hunting, and they have to bring back a gift to their father?
"In that case, Brother Erwang should be more careful."
"Thank you Hongrun, be careful for the brother."
After King Yong Hongyu said goodbye to their sixth uncle, Zhao Yuanling, he rode away with his ten guards.
Glancing at the back of Yongwang Hongyu leaving, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth prince's uncle, and said, "Sixth uncle, don't you like the second prince's brother?" ”
Zhao Yuanyan asked puzzledly, "Why do you say this?" ”
I saw Zhao Hongrun shrug his shoulders and said, "When the second brother is here, you don't have many words. ”
"Oh." Zhao Yuanyan showed a relieved look on his face when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's not that you don't like King Yong, it's just to avoid suspicion." …… After all, he is different from you, he is the prince who fights for the throne, and if you get too close to him, you will inevitably be misunderstood, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time. ”
"I see." Zhao Hongrun was also relieved, and then he remembered that the sixth uncle in front of him didn't like to argue with others, and he didn't like to be caught in the whirlpool of power struggles.
"But then again, Brother Erwang is really bold. Eleven people dare to hunt tigers in this deep mountain and old forest. ”
Zhao Yuanli smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "There is a picture...... Your second brother has lived a very hard life. ”
Zhao Hongrun was happy when he heard this, of course he understood what Zhao Yuanyan meant, and said with a smile: "It's still my uncle and nephew who are at ease." ”
"Haha." Zhao Yuanli laughed, and immediately, he pondered: "Then again." If your second brother really offered a white tiger skin to your father as a gift, you can't be too shabby here...... Have you decided what gift you will give to your father? ”
"I've figured it out." Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "When you go back, you can bring two rabbits to my father." ”
"......" Zhao Yuanli looked at Zhao Hongrun dumbfounded, and immediately burst out laughing.
However, after laughing for a while, his eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled evilly: "In this way, Uncle Sixth will assist you in hunting a bear, as for whether to dedicate this bear to your father as a gift, or to Amutu's little daughter." It's up to you, how? After that, he didn't wait for Zhao Hongrun to answer, and repeated with a wicked smile: "You can only do it." ”
"Do you even need to think about it? Catch two rabbits for your father.'"
Zhao Hongrun made a happy decision in an instant, although he was not suitable for the customs of the Qiang people, but the nature of a man dictated that he would naturally give it to a beautiful woman like this kind of good prey.
Anyway, in Zhao Hongrun's opinion. His father wouldn't be short of a bearskin blanket or anything.
However, it can be seen that this Uncle Six Kings said from a certain point of view. It's still quite "lacking in morality".
may have guessed that Uncle Liuwang was deliberately teasing himself, Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes angrily, and then, he asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, really go bear hunting?" ”
"When did your sixth uncle lie to you?" Zhao Yuanli pointed behind his back with his thumb and said, "Didn't you see that everything is ready?" ”
"Ready? What are you going to prepare?'
Zhao Hongrun glanced at this Sixth Uncle inexplicably. Immediately, he turned his head and glanced at the ten sect guards of the Sixth Prince's Uncle.
He was stunned to find that among the six uncles' guards, there were actually two burly guards each carrying a heavy crossbow on their backs, a heavy crossbow that could shoot crossbow arrows as thick as the barrel of a gun.
"It's a siege weapon......
Zhao Hongrun was a little stupid. I remember that when he just traveled, he really didn't realize that his sixth uncle's sect guard was still carrying that kind of terrifying weapon.
He was dumbfounded and asked, "Sixth Uncle, what are you doing with that thing?" ”
Zhao Yuanyan said with a strange face: "Didn't you say that you were going to hunt bears?" ”
"You're too ...... too"
Zhao Hongrun was really a little speechless, and said with a wry smile: "Where did you get it?" This thing should be piled up in the warehouse of the military department, right? ”
Zhao Yuanyan smiled: "Sixth Uncle naturally has a way. ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes: "Sixth uncle, that's a military weapon." ”
"Anyway, it's piled up in the treasury of the military department waiting to rust, what's wrong with the sixth uncle lending it out? I'll go back and go back. Saying that, Zhao Yuanling seemed to have thought of something, looked back at Zhao Yuanling and muttered: "Then again, your kid is now in charge of the Smelting Bureau, what's the matter, go back to favoritism and make a few pairs of hunting tools for the sixth uncle?" ”
"Hunting Gear......
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but think of the two terrifying heavy crossbows in his mind, and his face was speechless: "It looks like a talented heavy crossbow, 50,000 silver each!" ”
Zhao Yuanyan showed a frightened expression when he heard this: "Stinky boy, you are robbing money!" ”
Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders and said angrily: "Anyway, Uncle Six, you have money, I heard that a few days ago, you bet with which guy and lost a lot of money, right?" ”
"Uh......" Zhao Yuanli scratched her face in embarrassment.
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them.
Zhao Hongrun turned around suspiciously, and happened to see a team of people coming towards them.
"Lord Wang, you're here for us." Zhao Yuanling's sect guard chief Wang Qi reminded him in a whisper, because he noticed that the other party was deliberately approaching them, just like the people from the Qiang tribe just now.
"......" The look in Zhao Yuanling's eyes sank slightly, but he raised his hand and made a gesture, signaling Wang Qi to be calm and wait for the changes.
Unlike the vigilance of Zhao Yuanyan and others, Zhao Hongrun showed a little smile on his face after seeing the person who came.
It turned out that the one who was galloping in front of the team on the horse was the young man of the Qin State who met yesterday by the huge bonfire, Qin Shaojun.
I have to say. Today's Qin Shaojun changed into a hunting suit and tied his hair bundles, looking heroic.
Zhao Hongrun subconsciously raised his hand, ready to say hello to the other party.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaojun drove his horse and galloped directly past him not far away.
Vaguely, Zhao Hongrun seemed to hear a cold snort that sounded quite contrived.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Hongrun was puzzled.
And at this time. The guards behind Qin Shaojun also followed their master closely, but when they passed by Zhao Hongrun, this group of five strong men did not forget to glare at the latter fiercely.
A team of people galloped away, leaving only a back in the blink of an eye, which made Zhao Hongrun, who raised his hand and was about to greet Qin Shaojun, not embarrassed.
"What's going on?"
The guarded guards looked at each other, and they had a strange feeling, as if this team of men and horses were deliberately galloping past them, just to glare at Zhao Hongrun fiercely.
As for them. It's all treated as air by the other party.
"Someone you know?" Zhao Yuanli asked in astonishment.
The reason why he asked this was because the "hostility" of this group of centaurs was somewhat special, it was not like the pure hostility of the Karma tribe, but like ...... Another subtle hostility.
Moreover, it is only for Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun withdrew his raised hand with an embarrassed face, and said, "If it was before, I would have said, 'Let's go', but now...... I don't know how to explain it. ”
Zhao Yuanyan's eyes condensed slightly when he heard this. Look at the group of centaurs in the distance.
"Could it be that these people are the Qin people who told Hongrun about Longxi?"
He kept his head down. Thoughtfully.
At this time, even Zong Wei Shen Yu leaned over and asked with a puzzled face, "Your Highness, when did you offend those people?" ”
No, even Shen Yu can see it.
After all, the "hostility" of Qin Shaojun's team was specifically aimed at Zhao Hongrun. This is fundamentally different from the people of the Qiang and Jiaojiao tribes who are aimed at all the Wei people.
"I've offended them...... What?'
Zhao Hongrun scratched his head and tried his best to recall, but he still couldn't remember when he offended Qin Shaojun's group.
"Inexplicable." He muttered under his breath.
On that day, the sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan and his guards. really used those two heavy crossbows to help Zhao Hongrun hunt a bear with brown and gray fur.
Looking at the two heavy crossbows in the category of siege weapons easily piercing the thick bear skin of the brown bear, Zhao Hongrun once again deeply realized the overwhelming lethality brought by advanced weapons.
In addition to the bear, Zhao Hongrun and his party also harvested a lot of other prey, but most of them were foxes, raccoons, wolves, embarrassments, pheasants and other prey, and unfortunately did not encounter fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards.
When they returned to the camp of the Qingyang tribe at night, it was already approaching dusk, and the people of the Qingyang tribe of the Qing tribe had also prepared a sumptuous dinner like last night to entertain Zhao Yuanli and Zhao Hongrun, who had brought a lot of prey to their tribe.
And just as the whole camp was roasting meat and preparing for the celebration, about three miles away from the campsite, halfway up the mountain, there was a group of people eating the raw meat of bloody beasts, watching the campfire bustling camp from afar.
"Wow......"
With the sound of footsteps, a man ran up the hill, walked to a rock, and looked at the man who was sitting in a sitting position, eating raw meat on the ground.
"Boss, let's check, the news that guy gave us shouldn't be wrong, there are indeed a lot of Wei people in that camp...... It is very likely that the king of Wei is really here. ”
The man, who was called the boss, was stunned when he heard the action of gnawing meat, casually threw the bloody beast leg aside, and wiped the beast blood from his mouth with his hand.
"Since the information given by the employer is accurate, then there is no reason for us to stop......" With that, he slowly stood up, sucked a few traces of beast blood on his fingers, lowered his voice and chuckled: "Little ones, later, anyone can be killed, but the king of Wei, our generous employer, asks to be captured!" …… Got it? ”
"Don't worry, boss, the brothers won't be bad, hehe......"
Nearby, those men pulled out the blade at their waist and licked the blade with a fierce expression. (To be continued.) )
