Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 186 It turns out that it’s not just one young master who has weak legs!

"We've been catching rabbits outside for two days. I don't want to see any rabbits now. Xuanyu, let's go forward and hunt a big one, then hurry out." Zhong Yongjie, the third son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, urged. The scenery here is different! Fresh.

"Yes, let's get out quickly after hunting."

The few of them were somewhat excited but also somewhat nervous, and they quickly tightened the ropes and rode forward to look for prey. The servants around them tensed their bodies, scanning everywhere with their eyes, and followed closely behind the young masters.

Maybe it was because the people ahead were hunting and had startled the animals, so the prey in the woods were still quite active.

They found a lot of prey, but they ignored the small creatures like rabbits and squirrels.

They did find a deer, but unfortunately, the deer was frightened away before they could react, and they lost it. There was also a wild boar, which was quite large. They shot several arrows at it but could not even pierce its skin. It was only with the protection of their servants that they were able to run away quickly.

The other prey they liked were similar. The servants did not dare to leave their side. It was difficult for them to deal with those prey by themselves: they were not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Several people were a little discouraged. The main task of the servants was to protect them, and they were unwilling to help with the hunting. The arrows they shot did not cause much damage to the prey they wanted.

Thinking about being chased by the wild boar just now, several people felt a little depressed. Other hunters chased the prey, but they were being chased by the prey.

Thinking about the wild boar just now, they couldn't even deal with a mere wild boar. If they encountered a wolf or a tiger or something, they would have no way to deal with it. This forest was indeed dangerous.

"Master, why don't we go back first? The further we go in, the more ferocious the animals inside become. We, the servants, may not be able to protect you, Master!"

The servants were almost crying, these young masters were so brave!

The young masters who are able to participate in hunting are protected by guards with excellent riding and archery skills prepared by the mansion. No matter what ferocious beasts they encounter, their skills can at least protect their masters.

As for them, think about why they are protecting the young master from the outside, instead of following the master to show their skills inside? Then the reward will be more?

Don't they want to?

I thought it wouldn't be dangerous if I just coaxed the young masters at the periphery, but unexpectedly, I was coaxed into the inner circle by the young masters.

Look at the wild boar just now. It’s because they ran fast, otherwise who knows who would be left behind.

If they don't go out, they might encounter a tiger or a bear and they will have no choice but to stay here. God bless them and hope they can get out safely. They haven't even married yet, so at least they can have a child!

With Liu Xuanyu and a few others leading the way in front, Pei Jiezhi and others behind did not encounter any danger. Moreover, with Liu Xuanyu leading the way, although they did not hunt any big prey, it was much easier.

Unfortunately, he was too relaxed. When he saw the noise, he shot an arrow at it. He thought it was another small animal, but when he picked it up, it turned out to be a wolf cub!

Like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, the arrow was quite accurate and the little wolf cub died instantly.

Pei Jiezhi's face changed immediately when he looked at the lifeless wolf cub. Anyone with a little common sense knows that in the forest, you can take any prey you want, but you cannot touch the cubs of these animals.

The first is to allow the animals in the mountains to recuperate and not to overfish. The more animals give birth, the more meat they have to eat. The second is that if the cubs are harmed, the prey will become more ferocious and will almost fight to the death. Animals have a keen sense of smell, so unless you are sure you can kill them all, do not provoke wild animal cubs easily.

Now that the cubs are in danger, the wolves should be here soon, and the people they have are not even enough to deliver food to the wild beasts.

The lackey next to him trembled his legs and said in fear: "Master Pei...Master Pei, this...this is a wolf! The wolves are coming, what should we do?"

It was because his legs were weak, otherwise he could have ridden his horse and run away immediately. As long as he ran out, there were so many soldiers outside. He would definitely be safe. At worst, at worst, he would never come here to participate in hunting again. His future was not as important as his life.

"Shut up!" Pei Jiezhi scolded with a cold face.

They were some distance away from the hunting grounds, and no one dared to bet whether wolves would find them on the way back.

Pei Jiezhi's eyes flickered, and suddenly he smiled maliciously: "We are not the only ones who came in. The wolf cub is not with us, so the wolves will naturally not be able to find us."

The lackey next to him swallowed his saliva and said, "You mean..., but will this work?"

Those people are not easy to deal with!

"If not, you wait here with the wolf cub and we go back. What do you think?"

"No... No... Master Pei, this is a good idea. This is a good idea. We followed them in here too. If anything goes wrong, they will naturally be held responsible."

I would rather die than have my friend die. Anyway, he is just an insignificant person and can only follow orders. As for what consequences may be caused, as long as he can keep his life, everything else is meaningless.

Another lackey asked carefully, "Then...how do we give the wolf cub to Young Master Liu and his people?"

They are not stupid. If they take a little wolf cub over there, they will definitely run as far away as they can.

"We will soon get in front of them, then make a sudden comeback and pass through their midst, throw the wolf cubs on their horses, and then we will hurry back to the camp."

"After putting the things on their horses, remember to run faster. If you catch up, we will go back to the camp together. But if you can't catch up, you can just fend for yourself." Pei Jiezhi said.

The lackeys beside him all nodded, fearing that if they were too slow they would be left behind.

When Liu Xuanyu was about to go back, he saw Pei Jiezhi riding a horse towards them, passing directly between them, and shouting as he passed, "Run! The wolves are coming!"

Liu Xuanyu and his companions were already startled by the collision with Pei Jiezhi and his companions. Before they could pacify their horses, they heard the wolves they shouted were coming, which also startled them. They had no power to fight against the wolves, and did not have time to think about why Pei Jiezhi and his companions were here. They just rode their horses quickly to catch up.

Unfortunately, their horses were thrown into disarray at the beginning, and when they reacted, Pei Jiezhi had already run far away. They were in a hurry to catch up, and they were only focused on running forward, and did not notice what was extra on their horses.

After running for a while, they found that there was no movement behind them. It didn't look like there were wolves. Then they realized that they might have been tricked by Pei Jiezhi.

Zhong Yongjie straightened his messy hair and cursed: "What's wrong with that grandson?"

Liu Xuanyu also complained: "Who cares what's wrong with him? If he dares to lie to us, we'll beat him up when we get back!"

They are all the treasures of the family, and he is the only child in the family. As long as they are not princes, he will beat them up, because he has his father to support him anyway.

"Okay, count me in when we fight. I usually don't bother with him, but he really thinks he's someone important." Zhong Yongjie, the third son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, said disdainfully.

He usually doesn't like to study, and he doesn't like to form cliques in the Imperial College. He is a relatively Buddhist person. His two older brothers are both promising, but he doesn't want to work hard and just wants to enjoy himself. It doesn't matter if his family has one more successful person. No matter what, he will be rich all his life, eating and drinking well every day and living a comfortable life!

He bullies this one and looks down on that one all day long, and he doesn't worry about when the iron plate will be raised. His eldest brother at home often tells him: Leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future. Everyone has his own aspirations, and the family doesn't require him to do anything.

It doesn’t matter whether you have more friends or not, but just don’t make enemies for yourself for no reason.

So every day he thought about how to eat well, drink well, and have fun. Being happy and comfortable was more important than anything else. He was too lazy to pay attention to people like Pei Jiezhi, but now that they dared to play tricks on him, he would go back and fight with them, just to stretch his muscles.

As the third son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he does not cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of trouble.

Like them, those who were from the family of the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, except Liu Xuanyu, the others all had eldest brothers who had established their own families. They were also the legitimate sons, and not to mention the family property, just their mother's dowry was enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing.

With a good life, they are too lazy to study hard and have already decided that being a playboy is their future. They are not capable of doing any work and are the reserve group of future playboys.

As long as you don't commit a serious crime that will bring harm to the whole government, and don't offend people who shouldn't be offended, and as long as it's within the controllable range, even if it's just a small matter like a fight, as long as no one is killed, your family can be protected.

Even though Pei Jiezhi is the legitimate son of Marquis Dingkang, they are not illegitimate sons, and no one is nobler than the other. Beating them up is no big deal.

"Hey, young master, what are you going to do?" a servant asked in surprise.

I was just busy protecting the young masters as they ran, and only now I realized that there were some extra things.

Zhong Yongjie picked it up and exclaimed, "This is...a wolf cub!"

A few people gathered around and saw that the little wolf cub must have been shot to death by an arrow. Its body was cold and the blood had stopped flowing. They immediately cursed: "It must be Pei Jiezhi, the bastard, who let him go. He deliberately framed us."

"Don't worry about that bastard for now. Judging from the temperature of this wolf cub, they must have been shooting for a while. Wolves have the most sensitive noses and may come at any time. We need to hurry back to the camp."

Fearing that the wolf pack would lose control after seeing the wolf cub's body, the group did not dare to abandon the wolf cub and had to rush towards the camp with it.

Unfortunately, it has been a while since Pei Jiezhi shot the wolf cub and framed them for it. Also, because they were chasing the deer before and did not run close, they are still some distance away from the camp.

As we were talking, before we even set off, we could feel the atmosphere around us becoming much colder and the air becoming dangerous.

Looking ahead, they saw wolves appearing one after another around them, and they were...surrounded by wolves.

Seeing the dark blue eyes of the wolves, Liu Xuanyu and the others immediately turned pale. The wolves they had seen were all killed by their brothers and carried back home. They only talked about the size of the wolves, but they had never seen such a scary sight. The dark blue eyes seemed to pounce on them and eat them.

Are they going to fail here today? They haven't even started to enjoy their extravagant life yet. They are so unwilling to accept this. And as for Pei Jiezhi, they will definitely beat him to death if they can go back.

Several servants protected the young masters inside, and cold sweat broke out on their heads. If they were alone, they could still fight and maybe get out, but they had to protect the young masters, they couldn't fight this battle!

"Master, the wolves are in front of us. The servants will block them in front. You run into the deep forest and see if you can meet the masters who are hunting. Then we will be saved!"

The wolves have blocked the road ahead, so they can only count on the people participating in the hunt behind them. With so many people, they should be able to meet a few. They can't count on the people in the camp, so they can only count on the people participating in the hunt. They can't just sit and wait to die, so they have to run to the back, where they still have a great chance of survival.

If they are lucky, the young masters can call a few more people, and without the young masters holding them back, they should be able to hold on.

Hearing this, the young masters were silent for a moment. The son of the Ministry of Revenue doctor said in a low voice: "I...my legs are a little weak, so I can't run fast for a while, what do you think?"

The other young masters looked at each other and conveyed the same meaning: Well, we are also a little weak, but we just didn’t have the courage to say it.

The servants who were on high alert:........

Originally they were hoping to be rescued by the young masters, but it seems that the young masters won't leave them any chance of survival!

Glancing at the young masters' expectant eyes, the servants seemed to understand something: It turns out that one of the young masters is weak-kneed?

One of the servants, with sweat dripping from his forehead, said with despair: "Master, there are so many wolves. We...we can't hold them off for long. We'd better...find reinforcements as soon as possible."

Judging from the young masters' expressions, they also seem a little weak in the knees. What should we do?

Shu Xiaoxiao's team was very satisfied after hunting the deer, and they prepared to take a rest on the third day. They would not go back directly after hunting, as hunting was only one of the activities. The emperor would reward according to the prey, and then there would be barbecue, all kinds of barbecue, and there might also be horse racing, archery and other competitions. They would have fun for several days.

Now, because of the rabbit, they are still very popular in the camp. With the addition of the little rabbit, the ladies in the camp have become much more lively.

For convenience, there is a river near the camp. The river is not big, but because the weather is too cold, I don’t know if there are any fish in it.

She originally wanted to try to see if any fish would come out by breaking the ice. She is from the south and had only seen it in videos before, so she really wanted to give it a try.

If it really doesn't work, she will try the pond in the mansion when it freezes over, there are fish in there anyway.

It was the third day, and Shu Xiaoxiao saw her third brother practicing archery, so she found an excuse to go out and play for a while.

When shooting deer before, although Shu Tingfei was better than them, he also shot several arrows incorrectly. He was not satisfied with himself, so he returned to the camp and started practicing again.
