We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

For this hunting expedition, Li Che mobilized the entire cavalry battalion, the crossbow battalion, and the A and B battalions, totaling more than 3,000 people.

Hunting can also be used to train soldiers and improve their tacit understanding.

A long team came out from the east gate and headed towards Phoenix Mountain, a barren mountain near Chaoyang City.

Phoenix Mountain is steep and majestic, with peaks connected to hills and a lush forest below.

The main target of today's hunting is the dense forest.

The army arrived at the foot of the mountain and stood still waiting.

Jie Ming himself put on a strange costume, walked to the front of the army, and began to dance facing the mountains.

This should be a form of shamanic sacrifice, which is to sacrifice to the mountain god before hunting, in order to pray for a smooth hunt and a good catch.

"Buzz mommy mommy boom, tsk tsk tsk tsk daddy move!"

Jie Ming danced and sang, chanting prayers that no one else could understand.

Li Che watched for a while and soon lost interest.

It's similar to the shaman dances I saw when I was a child, not very interesting.

He turned and began to look at the mountain in front of him.

Phoenix Mountain is the mountain closest to Chaoyang City.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain and eat the mountain. The people of Chaoyang City have not harvested a single grain in the past few years, and they are barely surviving by relying on the resources in this mountain.

The mountain is not too high, but the scenery is nice.

After a while...

"Your Highness, you can begin."

Jie Ming had taken off that strange outfit and put on hunter's clothes again, holding a hard bow in his hand.

Li Che nodded and took out the military token from his waist: "I'll give it to you."

Although Li Che's actions were casual, Jie Ming did not dare to be negligent and took the military command respectfully.

The military token is not just a piece of iron, it symbolizes the absolute control of royal power and the army.

In the entire Ninggu County, apart from Li Che, this small sign has the greatest power.

The key to the so-called hunting lies in the word "encircle".

Jie Ming first sent out scouts to find the traces of wild animals in the forest.

Afterwards, the hunting teams set out separately and entered the forest hunting grounds.

Their task was to drive the beasts into the encirclement and gradually shrink the encirclement.

Once the wild animals are driven together, the hunting team can enter the enclosure and begin harvesting the prey.

After the cavalrymen poured into the forest from all directions, Li Che saw countless birds flying up from the woods and the cries of various wild beasts coming from the forest.

The siege lasted for an hour. When Jie Ming appeared in front of Li Che again, his face was full of confidence:

"Your Highness, the encirclement is complete. We can now start hunting."

If it was a royal hunting ground, the emperor should be leading his guards and some important officials into the hunting ground at this moment.

And now, of course, Li Che, who has the highest status, enters first.

Li Che and his personal guards had just entered the enclosure when he was immediately shocked by the lively scene inside.

Groups of rabbits ran around in panic on the grass. Some of them ran towards the cavalry outside in a daze and were immediately nailed to the ground by arrows.

The wild sika deer stared with their big wet eyes, and their beautiful fur sparkled in the sun.

The hazel grouse flapped its wings and flew to a branch, looking down in horror.

Li Che recognized this thing. It was a wild pheasant, known as "flying dragon" in Northeast China.

This type of pheasant was once used in the famous Northeastern dish "Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms", but since it was listed as an endangered species, it is too "torturous" to eat it.

Scenes that you can't usually see in the zoo are happening right before your eyes.

Seeing the "National Level 2" and "National Level 3" running around on the ground, and occasionally a few "National Level 1", Li Che felt inexplicably guilty.

"Your Highness, would you like to come first?" Qiu Bai handed over a bow.

"Ahem." Li Che held out his hand to suppress it, "Forget it, the king. You guys go hunt."

Forget it. I just can't bring myself to use a bow to shoot these rare species that could only be seen in zoos.

Although Daqing does not have a wildlife protection law...

Qiu Bai and others looked at Li Che in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

His Highness is unwilling to hunt, and they, as his subordinates, cannot force him to go.

There was no other way, so several generals were sure that Li Che really didn't want to hunt, so they rode out to find their own prey.

Li Che sat on the horse and watched everyone use their tricks, which he found quite interesting.

Wang Sanchun was a complete ruffian, he didn't use a bow and arrow, just carried a big knife, and chased a sika deer with a glare and a beard puffing.

Yue Yun's spearmanship is beautiful and his archery skills are also good. In just a few minutes, he has shot down seven or eight prey.

Wang Hu's riding skills are really good. While others use bows to hunt, he just carries a long spear and chases the prey, stabbing it in the butt.

Wang Laosi is really a fool. He specifically targets old deer that have weak legs and cannot run fast.

Yan San is also very good, he is worthy of being a famous bandit. He caught two yellow-skinned people who wanted to escape with just one hand.

and many more!

Li Che was shocked.

Yellow skin? !

Looking at the creature in Yan San's hand that looked both funny and terrifying, Li Che's heart suddenly tightened.

Yan San, Yan San, you have nothing to do, why are you arresting this ancestor?

He quickly shouted, "Yan San, quickly put those two things...those two down!"

Yan San was quite far away from Li Che, and when he heard His Highness calling him, he thought he was praising him.

He bared his white teeth, carried a yellow leather bag in one hand, and ran straight towards Li Che.

As if he was eager to take credit, this guy seemed to have mastered the art of lightness training. He ran very fast, and from a distance he looked like he was flying over the grass.

Li Che was shocked, seeing the two yellow foxes jumping up and down, it was obvious that they were up to no good and wanted to run away as soon as they clapped their hands.

Before the warhorse turned around, Yan San had already run in front of him.

Li Che suddenly became anxious, running away like a dead horse!

"Your Highness, I have caught two foxes for you. Look at how fine their fur is. I will make you a shawl when the time comes."

Li Che wanted to die. What a fox! How could this thing even look like a fox?

Besides, what kind of good person would use yellow fur to make a shawl? I can accept the shape, but I can’t accept the taste!

Before Li Che could reply, he suddenly saw the two people in Yan San's hands, and amber mist spewed out from the back door.

puff--

puff--

Two sounds, neither loud nor soft, were heard, followed by a dizzying and stench.

The other guards and generals watched in horror as a strange yellow mist enveloped their Highness and Yan San.

"vomit--"

Li Che started from zero frame and vomited as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Damn Yan San, I'm going to fire you!"
