Chapter 399: Xiao Linzi, don’t have any conflicts with Wang Heng
The autumn wind blows, war drums beat, and flags flutter.
Shen Jinmo and Han Zhou were wearing the blue and red team's battle uniforms respectively. They put on their respective team uniforms, sat on horseback, and led their teammates to stand under the ring.
Xia Hong sat on the high platform with a group of royal relatives and important ministers, looking at the heroic figures of the most outstanding men of Da Xia, his eyes full of pride and honor as if he was in control of the mountains and rivers.
Eunuch Lin happily walked up to Xia Hong with the roster of the two teams' assembled personnel: "Master, Madam, both teams have been assembled."
Xia Hong glanced at the list casually, and handed it to Xun Xiang: "I'm handing this hunting event over to you. You must show the style of our Xia men today."
"But we can't let the young masters of the various families lose harmony or get seriously injured in the hunting grounds."
"Otherwise I will hold you accountable."
Xia Hong, who handed over the memorial, had a gentle expression on his face, and Xun Xiang, who took the list, also smiled: "Don't worry, I will make sure that you and the queen will feel comfortable and happy today."
He walked down the stage with the roster in one hand and onto the ring that had been set up for wrestling the night before.
"Long live the emperor! A thousand years for the queen! Ten thousand years for Daxia!"
The men standing under the arena raised their bows and crossbows, and the cheers and shouts filled the hunting ground, startling the birds in the forest and making them fly into the sky.
The young eunuch struck the gong, the shouting stopped, and Xun Xiang spoke:
"The hunting a few days ago, as the emperor said, was just a small fight to help you youngsters get used to the forest."
"Today's hunting competition is the highlight of the Royal Autumn Hunt."
"This hunt will take a total of three hours. Different prey will have different levels of difficulty, so the scores will naturally be different."
The guards placed three large maps of the hunting grounds and the distribution areas of prey in front of the arena and the captains of the two teams.
Referring to this map, Xun Xiang explained all the precautions, and then looked around the arena: "If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
"Xun Xiang, if the two teams score the same number of points, does that count as a draw?"
"Since it's a hunting competition, what's the point of a draw?"
"Yes, Xun Xiang, I think we should find some other way to decide the outcome."
"Prime Minister Xun, if it's a draw, why don't we let Lord Shen and General Xiao Han go directly to the ring. Whoever wins will win the reward from the emperor. What do you think?"
Xun Xiang did not agree immediately, his eyes wandered between Shen Jinmo and Han Zhou: "What do Lord Shen and General Han think?"
Han Zhou frowned first, then raised his head and looked at the arena: "Since everyone thinks it's appropriate, then I have no objection."
Shen Jinmo nodded immediately afterwards, and Xun Xiang immediately called the eunuch to report the matter to Xia Hong. The fun originally planned for tonight had to be replaced by the martial arts competition.
"Xun Xiang, can we go to the opposite area to snatch prey?"
Xun Xiang thought for a while and drew a circle in the middle of the jungle. "This area has been visited by wild beasts. Except for the area I have drawn, where people are allowed to rob each other of their prey, hunting is only allowed in their own areas in other places."
"Xun Xiang, these prey are all alive. If they have more prey than us, isn't that extremely unfair?"
Xun Xiang smiled and looked at the person who asked the question: "In addition to the people's support, the right time and place are even more important. If the prey really only runs to one side, you can only take greater risks if you want to break the situation."
"What do you think, gentlemen? Is it true or not?"
"What Xun Xiang said makes sense."
No one asked any more questions, and Xun Xiang began to give his final instructions: "Although the emperor attaches great importance to this hunting, everyone has their own strengths, and it is normal to have biases in riding and shooting. You must not hurt your lives for the sake of a momentary pride."
"In order to ensure that everyone can be rescued in time when they are in danger, the emperor has prepared flares for everyone in advance."
"If you are in danger, you can sound the signal flare, and the guards will rescue you. If anyone sends out a signal flare, it means they can no longer enter the hunting grounds."
"But the prey they obtain before leaving the hunting grounds can still be counted towards each team."
"If you are ready, you can test a signal flare first. After confirming that the signal flare is OK, the drum on the platform that announces the official start of the hunt will be struck by the Emperor himself."
After Xun Xiang finished speaking, everyone in the two teams, except the captains, picked out one of the two flares and tried to release it.
According to past practice, if the team leader released a flare in the forest, it would be equivalent to the team's direct surrender.
Therefore, Shen Jinmo and Han Zhou naturally had no intention of releasing the flare.
This was Xie Nanxing's first time participating in a hunt and he didn't understand the rules. Sitting on the high platform, he just watched Shen Jinmo and Han Zhou not making any moves and felt a little anxious.
Standing up and jogging to the fence of the platform, Xie Nanxing found the right angle and waved towards Shen Jinmo and Han Zhou. After attracting their attention, he made a gesture of firing a flare.
Shen Jinmo looked at Xie Nanxing's huge movements, and his face showed a soft light.
He bent down, took out the flare, and with the same movement as Xie Nanxing, released the flare directly into the sky.
It's just a rule. Compared with coaxing Xie Nanxing, it's nothing.
Shen Jinmo obeyed, but Han Zhou was still standing there in a daze. Just as Xie Nanxing was about to make another move, Shen Jinmo's whip landed on the back of Han Zhou's hand.
"put!"
Then Han Zhou missed the gesture that Xie Nanxing made specifically for him, and unfortunately got whipped. Even the flare he released was filled with resentment.
Seeing that both of them cared deeply about each other's safety, Xie Nanxing raised his thumb towards the front and clapped several times.
Shen Jinmo's gentle face also showed a smile, and Han Zhou saw that Xie Nanxing smiled even more happily than Shen Jinmo.
Shen Jinmo was instantly dissatisfied and directly pulled out the whip and swung it towards Han Zhou.
This time, Han Zhou directly took out his spear to meet the whip, preventing Shen Jinmo's whip from hitting him.
Don't clay figures also have to have some temper?
How can we let Shen Jinmo draw all the time?
The hunt was about to begin. Xia Hong smiled and retracted his gaze, looking at Zhong Yuanyuan with a smile: "Look, sister-in-law, these young people are really clingy."
Zhong Yuanyuan also found these interactions interesting: "If Nanxing's body couldn't stand the bumps, Wang Heng would definitely be brought along."
Nanny Xi was fanning Zhong Yuanyuan with cool air, and she found a chance to bring up something she had almost forgotten.
"Last night, Lord Shen came to me and told me that Master Xie had no power and was easy to be bullied. He also asked me to speak well of him to the Emperor and ask him to take better care of Master Xie."
Xia Hong pondered over these words carefully. It was obvious that Shen Jinmo did not trust his personal eunuch.
Someone like Shen Jinmo, who was thinking of him wholeheartedly, could not have done anything wrong. The one who did something wrong must be Eunuch Lin, the servant, who did something behind his back and took advantage of the power of others.
Her expression was not filled with anger, but her voice was already full of sarcasm: "Xiao Linzi, you should learn more from Nanny Xi, and don't get into trouble with Wang Heng."
Originally, this was not a serious remark, but after Xia Hong's suggestion, Eunuch Lin was frightened and broke into a cold sweat: "I know that I will definitely interact more with Lord Shen in the future and take good care of Lord Shen and Master Xie for the emperor."
Seeing Xie Nanxing return to his seat, Xia Hong waved to Xia Yu, "Xiao Jiu, go and beat the drum for me, and tell them to go to the hunting ground and vent their anger on those beasts, so that they don't really get into a fight."
"Yes."
