Chapter 107 No, buddy (asking for monthly ticket)
"Hmm, what kind of meat is this? It's really delicious."
Li Yin used both hands to show off the braised beef in front of him, and did not forget to ask Li Xiang what kind of meat it was.
"Uncle Six, don't worry about eating. There is plenty of meat." Li Xiang did not answer, but just said with a smile.
He then greeted Yin Yuan and Liu Xuanyu, who were a little reserved, and stuffed two sausages into their hands: "Don't be reserved, we still have to go hunting soon, so eat more."
The two of them held the sausages tightly in their hands and looked at Li Xiang with tears in their eyes.
After Li Xiang encouraged them, he looked back and saw Li Su sitting next to his aunt. He didn't know what the two were talking about.
Seeing Li Xiang's gaze, Li Su smiled and waved at him.
Li Mingda also raised his head and smiled sweetly at Li Xiang.
Seeing that his aunt had someone to accompany her, Li Xiang felt relieved.
"Let's go hunting." Li Xiang said with a smile.
It has been almost a month since he came here, and Li Xiang has never gone hunting seriously.
I was interested in hunting in my previous life, but I had always played hunting games on the computer and had never hunted seriously.
Oh, I did hunt once, but that was with a shotgun at the Russians' place. I have never tried using a bow and arrow.
He was pretty good at riding a horse, but as for the bow and arrow... he might not be able to hit the target even if he was shooting on the ground, let alone shooting while riding a horse?
He had practiced archery in his previous life, but unfortunately, after shooting two arrows, he found that shooting a gun was more fun, so he changed his practice goal to shooting a gun at the shooting range.
I haven't had enough time to practice in this lifetime, so I'll just join in the fun.
He doesn't really need the title of first in the junior group, so why bother competing with others?
Hearing Li Xiang's call, the young men immediately got up and left. After a while, they all came back here on horseback.
Li Xiang climbed onto his horse, surrounded by powerful bows and arrows, and followed by his brothers. This was his first time to have such a novel hunting experience.
Galloping on horseback in the hunting ground in autumn, bringing gusts of cool breeze, the young man is full of vigor and ambition.
The problem of the living father has been preliminarily solved, the humanoids in the Eastern Palace have been cleared out, and Li Xiang's pressure has suddenly disappeared.
Without any pressure, he felt refreshed and in high spirits.
"Brothers, follow me to go hunting!" Li Xiang shouted loudly.
"Yes!" The young men shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
Li Shimin, who was changing shoes not far away, heard the noise, turned around and saw Li Xiang, who was in high spirits.
"Gao Ming, your son is much better than you were in your youth." Li Shimin said with a smile, stroking his beard.
He didn't think much of it, and didn't realize that these words would be enough to stir up conflict between father and son in an ordinary Donggong family.
Li Chengqian was certainly not that kind of person. He stood in the carriage and looked into the distance. After a while, he said something leisurely, which made Li Shimin very angry.
"My son is better than your son."
Li Tai and Li Zhi next to them couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at them: "What are you laughing at? It's as if you two are not Aye's sons."
Li Tai and Li Zhi couldn't laugh anymore.
"Sizi, your nephew is really awesome." Li Shu stared at the direction where Li Xiang left, muttering.
"Really?" Li Mingda smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nonchalantly: "I don't think so."
Humph, no matter how majestic you are, aren’t you still your aunt’s little elephant?
He said he didn't feel it, but he couldn't hide the pride on his face.
Hmm...looking at Xiang'er's majestic appearance, I wonder what kind of girl will be worthy of him in the future.
Should I talk to Aye and find a marriage partner for Xiang'er?
Li Shu didn't say anything, but just stared at the blue sky in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although they said they were going hunting, Li Xiang was actually riding horses with his brothers in the hunting ground.
No wonder the ancients liked to ride horses at full speed, the feeling was truly refreshing.
"The prince."
A few riders were coming towards them. Li Xiang looked and saw that it was Gao Kan whom he had met the day before. There were two rabbits hanging beside him and a musk deer was hanging on the neck of his horse.
"General Gao has gained a lot."
Li Xiang smiled and teased him.
Gao Kan smiled and said, "Thanks to the Duke's great blessing, I was able to have such a harvest."
After Li Xiang exchanged a few words with a smile, Gao Kan hurried away to continue looking for prey.
I didn't encounter any prey along the way, but I did meet quite a few nobles.
Li Xiang was busy greeting people along the way. Looking at their baskets full of prey, Li Xiang felt a little jealous.
Although he is not good at riding and shooting, he also wants to fill the horse!
Just when he was feeling a little anxious, Li Xiang finally spotted a deer leisurely grazing not far away.
"Brother, look." Li Jingren also pointed at the deer and said in a low voice.
Then he stretched out his hand and signaled the young men to stop.
Li Xiang nodded slightly and took out the hard bow from the brocade bag beside him.
"I'm not good at shooting, so I'll be an example to my brothers."
After saying that, he put his hand on the bowstring, without even pulling out the arrow, he opened the bow like a full moon, aimed at the deer in front of him and shouted "Immortal".
As a result, a feather arrow flew out from somewhere and hit the deer's neck.
A man rushed out from the team, stepped forward to check, and shouted loudly: "The prince hit the target! The prince of Hengshan hit the target!"
Li Xiang:
No, man.
He stretched out his hand, just like Erkang. Before he could say anything, he heard the young men behind him shouting in unison: "Brother, you are a great archer! Brother, you are a great archer!"
WTF Lee...
The shouting here could even be heard clearly in the camp in the rear.
"Xiang'er really looks like me!" Li Shimin said complacently, stroking his beard.
I am a sharpshooter, and my grandson is also a sharpshooter. Isn't this... this just inheritance from previous generations?
It seems that this grandson is not only similar to me in terms of bravery, but also in terms of being a shooter!
The ministers also said at the right time: "The prince has the same style as your majesty in the past, which is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty. We congratulate your majesty on having such a holy grandson. It is a blessing for the country and the Tang Dynasty!"
Soon, there was another round of cheers coming from afar. The cheers became more and more frequent, and Li Shimin's expression became more and more proud.
Originally he was planning to show off his skills, but after hearing the cheers here, Lao Li suddenly changed his mind and decided to wait here to see what Li Xiang had reaped before going hunting again.
After all, this is his grandson who is bringing honor to himself, so he must stay in the camp and wait for Xiang'er to come back, and then let the ministers praise him!
Lao Li's current thinking is like that of some mothers. If you praise her, she may not be very happy; but if you say, "Oh, your child is so pretty, so excellent, and so good at studying," then her tail will be soaring to the sky. This is the mentality.
——I understand, Li Shimin is a mother.
Li Xiang, who was being surrounded and praised by his brothers in the distance, already had a look of devastation on his face.
At first he would just make one movement and the target would be shot and turned into a hedgehog.
Now he didn't even have to move, and several feather arrows would fly over and knock the target prey to the ground. You said to shoot it down, so shoot it down, what are you shouting about, brother is a great archer! What are you shouting about, the prince is a great archer!
So annoying!
In a short while, Li Xiang was surrounded by piles of prey, with all kinds of prey.
"This...this..." Li Xiang was speechless for a long time.
He now understood why some emperors recorded in later generations shot so many prey in their lifetime.
It seems that the subordinates were very "sensible" and took the blame for everything they shot...
"Brother is indeed a great archer!" Li Jingren said with admiration on his face, his feelings were so sincere.
Li Xiang mechanically turned his head and glanced at Li Jingren, his voice trembling a little.
"Isn't this unnecessary?"
Li Xiang, who had just traveled through time, still had some dignity to maintain, and had not yet developed the ability to be thick-faced and black-hearted.
"This is the sincere respect from our brothers. Brother, you'd better not reject their kindness..." Li Jingren immediately put on an expression of being willing to sacrifice himself.
Li Xiang took a deep breath...
Okay, okay.
Now that you've said that, what else can I say?
As he was speaking, cheers broke out from the back.
"Brother, you have a great shot! Brother, you have a great shot!"
Li Xiang leaned sideways and saw a wild boar that had been shot like a porcupine, lying on the ground with its quills all over it, looking very peaceful.
Looking down again, he saw that his horse was hung with roe deer, rabbits and fawns, and the horses of his brothers beside him were also hung with loads of trophies.
They were all prey "shot by him".
The horse he was riding was the most majestic horse that Li Shimin had picked out from the Feilong Stable. Under the weight of so many prey, it actually felt a little unable to hold on.
As if sensing Li Xiang's gaze, the big black horse also looked back, his eyes full of pleading.
Tired, destroy it.
Li Xiang no longer cared. Now that things had come to this, he might as well move on.
He pulled Li Jingren aside and asked others to help him share some of the prey.
I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm mainly afraid that the horse will collapse halfway, and then he will have to walk back.
He was feeling tired, but Li Yin behind him fell into deep thought.
In fact, Li Yin was extremely passionate about hunting, and his enthusiasm was no less than that of Li Ke.
Every time Li Shimin reprimanded the princes for excessive hunting, Li Yin would always be the one to be blamed.
But at this time, he followed behind and saw Li Xiang was so popular, surrounded by everyone like a star surrounding the moon, he suddenly felt that hunting was not so interesting anymore.
Hunting, bird hunting! This is what a real man should do!
Li Yin was truly envious and had about 70% admiration for her, but he didn't have the slightest bit of jealousy.
He is just a bit stubborn, but he doesn't have any bad intentions.
How can he integrate into this group... Li Yin thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a "brilliant plan".
With a sudden impulse, Li Yin drew his bow and shot down a passing wild goose.
Seeing the wild goose falling straight down, he, a very good rider, galloped over on his horse, leaned down, and caught the wild goose in his hand before it hit the ground.
Holding the wild goose by its neck, Li Yin shouted, "Brother, you are a great archer!"
This shout scared the people around.
Looking closely, the person who was shouting turned out to be Li Yin.
After confirming Li Yan's identity, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Aren't you the sixth uncle? According to seniority, the elder brother is your eldest nephew, so why do you also call him brother?
The corners of Li Jingren's mouth twitched. Damn, I'm just a distant cousin, but you're different. You're his sixth uncle...
"Sixth Uncle, you..." Li Xiang, who was confused by Li Yin's shout, didn't know what to say for a moment.
He had planned everything, but he never expected that his sixth uncle would give him such a big job.
It's no big deal if you call me brother, but it would be a big deal if your father comes back to settle the score with us!
I have my aunt to protect me, but who will protect you when you see me...
"Brother, you are so righteous and have unrivaled martial arts skills. I admire your righteousness..."
Li Yin pulled the reins with an admiring look on his face, walked over and put the wild goose on Li Xiang's horse.
"This title should be taken by my elder brother!"
Damn it...
Li Xiang is regretting now, regretting extremely much.
No, buddy?
Why the hell am I hanging out with this jerk...
It would be fine if your father beat you up, but if he thinks that it was me who instigated you to do this, wouldn’t he eat me too?
"Sixth Uncle, this is inappropriate..." Li Xiang wanted to persuade him again.
Li Yin immediately said, "There is nothing inappropriate. I admire your righteousness. This matter is a one-person job. If Aye punishes me, I will bear it all!"
Li Xiang felt a black screen before his eyes and almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, there were plenty of prey nearby, so he had a place to stay.
What the hell is this?
He wanted to say something else, but found that Li Yin did not have any inappropriate expression. After putting the wild goose on the horse, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Only at this time did Li Jingren walk over.
"In this way, we are brothers!" Li Jingren put his arms around Li Yin's neck warmly and said with a smile.
This time, Li Jingren was sincere and heartfelt, without any acting, and he was really warm to Li Yin, as if he really accepted him and wanted him to be his brother.
"Brother!" Cheng Chubi also rode up and walked to Li Yin's side.
Everyone was in awe of the King of Shu's courage.
Especially Li Jingren and Cheng Chubi, who were of different generation, seemed to have found their confidants.
The two of them had often been criticized for lowering their generation by addressing each other as brother, but now with the King of Shu leading the charge, their intuition told them that the pressure on them would suddenly ease.
Li Yin's eyes were filled with tears. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever been so kind to him.
"Brothers!" Li Yin pounded his chest. His youthful look made everyone recognize him at once.
"Brother!" All the young men laughed in unison. No one looked down on Li Yin, and no one laughed at him. Everyone felt that this was all natural.
My brother has such great charisma, so what's wrong with letting my uncle call him brother?
Li Xiang is going crazy now. Damn it, you guys are really just enjoying the fun!
He could now imagine how furious Li Shimin would be when he heard Li Yin call him brother when he returned.
