Pan'er stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse.
She can get on and off the horse by herself now. Of course, the posture is definitely not as smooth as Zong Cong, but it is already relatively good.
After getting on the horse, she took a look at Zong Cong with a bit of complacency in her eyes.
A smile flashed in Zong Cong's eyes, and the two of them drove the horse inward together, followed by many guards on the left and right.
Since you are carrying a pan, you can't go too deep. The closer you are to this area, the more ferocious beasts there are. The outer areas are much safer, and there won't be too many wild beasts.
During this period, Zong Cong didn't shoot an arrow, but the guards shot a lot of pheasants and hares. This is killing chickens and knives, but who told His Majesty to bring the imperial concubine, today is to accompany the imperial concubine to go out to play, not to let them Came to hunt.
"I don't know what happened to Zong Yuewan and the others?"
"I have specially sent guards beside them. The guards will not lead them to go too deep. They will only walk around the periphery, and nothing will happen."
Little did they know that on the other side, Zongyue, Zongqian and Wanyu had separated.
Wanrong is very annoying at the moment, she has recently hunted a lot of pheasants and hares with everyone, they are all in their teens, the oldest of them is no more than fourteen, and the youngest is Zong Qian.
They are all descendants of noble royal families, surrounded by natural guards, and there is no need to worry about safety issues, so this kind of small prey is hunted a lot, and everyone is looking forward to the day of spring hunting, because there are more birds and beasts here, maybe Can hit foxes or wolves or something.
When Zong Cong shot the sounding arrow, they were at the outermost place. After all, they were not very old, so this competition naturally had nothing to do with them. After everyone dispersed, they headed towards the direction they had set in advance, but Wanrong was stopped by someone.
It was Wanchan and the others.
Except for Wanxi and Wanxi who were not there, Wanxian, Wanshu and Wanchan were all present, surrounded by a group of guards.
Wanrong didn't pay attention to them these days. Somehow they actually learned how to ride horses. I don't know how well they ride. In short, they are all dressed in riding clothes, and they look good on horseback.
The equipment is also very complete, but it is relatively fancy. There are golden saddles and stirrups, as well as bows and arrows. The bows are golden with many gems embedded in them, as are the quiveres, which look very gorgeous. A few arrows were also placed in the quiver, and the feathers on the tails of the arrows were exceptionally white.
At first glance, it looks like a flower shelf!
I don't know who came to coax them, Wanrong thought to herself, she doesn't believe that the few people who didn't ride horses before can now hunt.
Wanxian and the others called Wanxuan together, and it happened that several teenagers didn't want to bring girls.
It's okay to be tactful, the key is to be tactful. Wanying is very familiar with drawing bow and archery, but Wanying is a burden. She can lose her face when shooting a pheasant and a hare. If it wasn't for Zongqie's sake, they would have given up Wanying a long time ago.
The idea of several princesses fell into the arms of a group of teenagers, leaving the two girls behind, they would be able to let the birds fly in the sky, so Wanxuan and Wanxi were left behind.
Zong Yue drove the horse and came in front of Wan Rong: "Sister, since you are following the eldest sister and the others, don't go in, just walk around and wait for tomorrow..."
Zong Yue didn't say the rest, but Wan Rong finally felt better.
"Sister, don't be angry. When I come back in the afternoon, I will hunt a fox for you and make clothes for you in winter."
Wanrong rolled her eyes and looked at her younger brother, seeing him like that, she was almost elated, she was so angry that she took the whip and flicked it in the air.
"When you hunt a fox and make clothes for me, I might as well count on Xiao Yue."
Zong Qie told Wan Yan: "Don't run around, follow Wan Yan, I will leave some guards for you, if the sun is hot, go back."
"Understood, brother." Wan Ying said obediently.
A group of teenagers laughed and ran away on horseback, and the guards followed closely, leaving a dozen or so behind. Some of them were guards of the Yue Palace, and some of them were left by Zong Yue to protect Wanyu.
"Where are you going to go hunting?" No matter how depressed she was, she had to face the reality, and she drove the horse to Wanxian and the others and asked. Unlike Wanxian and the others, Wanxuan immediately hung three quiveres, and she carried one on her back. …
"Let's go hunting, or just hang around?" Wanxian and Wanshu looked at each other and said.
Of course, they could also hear the mild dissatisfaction, but they were not familiar with the terrain, and they didn't know how to hunt and do anything in it, so they naturally needed someone to cover it up.
This cover-up is graceful.
Wanrong thought they met by chance, but she didn't know that Wanxian and the others had already set their sights on her, so she was waiting for this time to call her down and stay with her.
"If you're not hunting, what are you doing here? Going for a walk, you can go outside for a walk," she seemed to know that her tone was bad, she looked away and said, "Forget it, I'll let someone lead the way." .”
She called a guard and asked him to lead the way.
The guards understood that it was safe to follow this group of golden branches and jade leaves, but they also had to consider the mood of the fifth princess, so it was best to walk a little inside instead of going too deep.
The group of people was escorted by the guards and walked in. Wanyu was good at riding, and they followed Wanxuan all the time. But there are a few Wanxians, which makes Wanxiang very speechless.
Sure enough, she guessed right, these people were here to make trouble, they couldn't ride a horse, so they could only walk slowly, this speed was for outings.
Those who go outing are faster than them.
She simply made up her mind that today will be wasted on them, maybe they will go back after a while, and she can come out again at that time, so Wanrong didn't show any impatient look afterwards.
From time to time, she draws out an arrow and shoots an arrow. Her arrow skills are not bad. Three of the five arrows can hit the prey. They are all pheasants and hares. They are shot. The guards drive their horses to pick up the prey, and pick up her arrows along the way return.
During this period, it was inevitable that Wanxian and the others screamed. Wanyi probably saw too much, but she was much better than the three of them.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, this is a hunting ground. Hunting is a very common thing. Maybe we will meet some wild beasts later. If you are really afraid, why don't we go back?"
Wanxian smiled uncomfortably, and said softly, "Since you've already come out, don't disappoint."
"What Eldest Sister said is that there is always a process of getting used to it, and there are so many guards, so don't be afraid even if wild beasts come." Wan Shu echoed.
"Exactly."
Wanchan glanced at the two of them, but said nothing.
Since you can't dissuade them, let's move on.
Because Wanxian's speed was too slow, it naturally slowed down the group of people's footsteps. Wanrong thought that today she was hunting outside, sometimes driving the horse forward, sometimes driving the horse backward, in short, she would not stay away, no After a while, one of the guards immediately filled the basket with prey.
"How about we go further inside?" Wanxian suggested, as if she could see that they had been walking sideways.
Her behavior is a bit abnormal, Wanrong still knows the elder sister better, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a model among princesses. Words and deeds are in line with the princess's manners, never overstepping, and her personality is gentle and generous.
But if she was interested in hunting, that would be a fantasy. At first, Wanrong was a little puzzled by her three sisters who secretly practiced horseback riding and clung to her, but now she is even more puzzled.
"It's better not to go inside, it would be bad if you really meet a beast." Wan Yan persuaded.
"Isn't there so many guards? I think Wanxuan's interest has been waning. I guess we've spoiled her interest. Anyway, there are guards, so we can just walk inside and it won't hinder anything." Wan Shu said.
Wanshu is a princess, and Wanyu is just a princess. Seeing that she has said so, it is natural not to say anything, but she looks at Wanyu with a bit of embarrassment.
Wanrong didn't say anything, and called the guard over again, whispered a few words to him, and the group changed direction.
This journey was very quiet, except for the chirping of birds, there was not even a human voice. And there are more and more trees, and those who are timid will be more or less afraid.
Wan Shu rubbed her tingling legs, and said, "Obviously they are all going in this direction, why didn't they meet anyone?"
Wanrong's eyes flashed: "Second Sister, who do you want to meet?"
"It's not that I want to meet anyone, but I just feel a little strange." Wan Shu smiled embarrassingly.
"... This... a forest is very deep vertically. It is a special hunting ground. The area is wide and wide. It looks like there are many people, but in fact, not many people are scattered in it. People with high skills and daring will go deep into the belly. We are actually going to the periphery ” said one of the guards.
"So that's how it is."
"Then how long will we have to go before we can go deep into the belly?"
Wanxian and Wanshu's words were almost in unison.
Wanrong frowned: "Second Sister, what are you always thinking about going deep into the abdomen? It's not suitable for you to go there, even me, I dare not go in with only a few guards."
"I don't want to go deep into the abdomen, but I'm just curious." During the speech, Wanshu and Wanxian exchanged glances, and the disappointment could be seen in their eyes.
Wanrong winked at the guard, and the journey after that seemed to be going deeper, but in fact it had gradually deviated and turned horizontal again.
The rest of the journey was still the same, Wanxuan was too lazy to hunt those pheasants and hares, and Wanxian's three foreheads could be seen with thin sweat, obviously she was at the end of her battle.
Wanchan said: "Why don't we go back, it's meaningless to go on like this."
Wanxian and Wanshu looked at each other and nodded.
"Then go back."
Probably because of these words, Wanxian walked very fast on the way back, but Wanxian and the others had frequent situations.
I was thirsty for a while, hungry for a while, and wanted to stop and rest for a while.
Tired of riding a horse
In fact, it was the incorrect riding posture that made them not only sore all over, but also burned the inner thighs very painfully.
Helpless, Wanrong could only let her stop and rest.
Anyway, after killing so many pheasants and hares, just roasting a few of them is enough for them to have a lunch at noon.
The guards are all well-trained. After dismounting from the horse, a few of them are responsible for feeding the horse, a few of them fetch water to deal with the prey, and the rest are guarding the horse.
Now Wanxian and the others didn't care about any manners, they sat on the ground and wanted to touch the inside of their legs, but they were hindering so many people, so they could only hold back.
Wanchan regretted it a long time ago, she followed her out to watch some play, if she had known this was the case, she might as well have sat in the tent with her mother and concubine and stayed with her concubine.
The prey was processed quickly, and it was roasted until it was golden brown, and it looked delicious.
It's not the first time Wanwei has done this kind of thing, she took a rabbit leg and gnawed on it, the guards went to give some to Wanxian, but they shook their heads repeatedly.
But when they came out, they didn't bring dry food at all. Wanrong saw it, went to Xiaohong's side, took a small bag from it, and threw it to several people.
Inside is the dry food she brought, and she has been hunting a lot recently. Generally, everyone will not only bring dry food and water bags, but even salt, fire, wound medicine and other things.
Wanxian and Wanshu gnawed on the dry bread, Wanchan took a piece, but couldn't get it in. Seeing that Wanxiang and Wanxi ate rabbit meat deliciously, they asked the guards to ask for a rabbit leg and gnawed on it.
It was delicious beyond imagination.
Now when you talk about decent manners, you don't pay attention to these things when you are hungry.
Wanxian and Wanshu gnawed on the dry pancakes, feeling quite uncomfortable, but they didn't have the face to ask for it.
After eating, she continued to walk back. Wanxian almost didn't fall off when she got on the horse, but there were only a few girls here, and they were all big men, so she had to ride the horse by herself.
Not to mention the torture involved.
As he was walking, a guard turned his head and looked behind him, but there was no one behind him.
Not only him, but several other guards also noticed it. Wanrong was about to ask what was going on, when she heard the sound of horseshoes coming from a distance.
Everyone was puzzled, but the experienced guards had already started yelling for everyone to stay away and move away. But the bad thing is that on this road, there are dense forests next to it, so it is impossible for so many people to avoid it all at once.
Wanyu had already listened to her words, and took the initiative to walk inside, Wanyu was a little flustered, several guards from the Yue Palace immediately rushed up, dismounted one after another, and led her horse inside.
The three of Wanxian were also led in by the guards, probably feeling a little flustered, Wanshu fell off the horse unsteadily. Fortunately, the guard next to her had sharp eyes and quick hands, and helped her up.
But it was too late, the horseshoe... The sound of horseshoes rushed towards this side with lightning speed, and the sound was endless.
They used to ride small mares, docile but not timid, the horses were frightened immediately, struggled and neighed in the hands of the guards.
Things went wrong in all three places.
This is not the most serious thing. Following bursts of astonishment and yelling, a gigantic monster followed closely behind the galloping horses.
It is on all fours and looks huge, but it runs very fast.
It was a bear.
Not only one, but not far behind it, there is also a slightly smaller female bear running. One of the eyes of this female bear has turned into a blood hole, and she growled while running, as if she was irritated.
"not good!"
