Border Cook

Chapter 618 Hunting
It was just that when he first wanted to read the book "Jinxiulu", it was because he felt that he could learn something from it, and it could also be considered as indirectly learning a thing or two from Lu Qiyan.

Why is he so excited watching the fight here?

Li Juncheng, "..."

Never mind, the story is interesting, I’ll finish reading it first!

As for the various principles contained in this book and the things we need to learn, I think you will understand them if you read it a few more times.

After all, there is a saying that goes, read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear!
So, don’t think too much and just read!

So, the candlelight in Li Juncheng's room continued to burn until the second half of the night...

When he woke up the next morning, Li Juncheng's eyes were dark and blue, and his face was full of fatigue, which he couldn't hide.

Seeing Li Juncheng like this, Lu Qiyan was very surprised and asked with concern, "Second Prince, did you not sleep well last night? But what was not done properly at the post station?"

"Everything is fine at the post station." Li Juncheng waved his hand and explained, "Maybe it's because I'm unfamiliar with this place and it's in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. I'm not used to it. Maybe I went to bed a little late last night. It's okay, it's okay..."

Li Juncheng did not tell the actual situation.

After all, it seems extremely inappropriate to say that I read the story with great interest in the first half of the night, and tossed and turned in the second half of the night because I was thinking about the plot.

"We have to travel early this morning. Thank you for your hard work, Second Prince." Lu Qiyan bowed.

"It's okay. I can just rest in the carriage for a while."

Just enough to read the rest in one go.

"Okay." Lu Qiyan bowed again, asked the post station to serve breakfast, and told his servants to eat as soon as possible and prepare to set off.

Boiled eggs, scallion pancakes, and pickled vegetables.

The breakfast was light and delicious, and quite enjoyable to eat.

We set off, traveling much faster than yesterday.

With the experience of traveling all day yesterday, everyone was quite accustomed to it and moved forward in an orderly and orderly manner.

After sleeping all day on the road yesterday and resting for a night at the post station, Xia Mingyue had adapted to the state of being on the road. She was in much better spirits today and was no longer drowsy. Instead, she was interested in looking at the scenery outside.

On both sides of the official road, when passing through villages and farmlands, you can see waves of wheat in the sunlight and blown by the breeze. When passing through rivers, you can see the dazzling sunlight reflected by the ice on the river surface. When passing through wasteland, all you can see are withered grass and bare bushes and trees...

Among them, there are many living creatures.

Birds gather in groups, some squatting on the branches and chirping, some fluttering to the ground, looking for fallen flower seeds and grass seeds to fill their stomachs.

The hares and pheasants that had run out in search of food, using dead grass and trees as cover, listened carefully for a moment when they heard their hurried footsteps and the creaking of axles, and then fled in panic.

Xia Mingyue watched these with great interest, and Wu Jin, who was bored on the road, also stood up straight, tilted his neck and barked from time to time, which only scared the living creatures that were already fleeing in all directions and made them run even more without a trace.

Wu Jin subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but when he remembered that he was on the carriage and couldn't move around at will, he suppressed the thought.

But its front paws couldn't help but stand on tiptoe again and again, and the tail behind it swung again and again.

When Xia Yunji saw Wu Jin's appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

A good seedling for a hound?

He drove the horse under his crotch to stop for a moment, and when the carriage moved forward, Xia Yunji looked at Wu Jin, "Do you want to have a big fight?" A big fight?
Wu Jin looked at Xia Yunji with some confusion.

"How about hunting some game to have a snack for lunch?"

As soon as Xia Yunji finished speaking, Wu Jin barked twice excitedly.

hunt?

No problem. It just wants to stretch its muscles now. Otherwise, it will become lazy if it keeps lying on the carriage.

"Let's go!" Xia Yunji led Wu Jin off the carriage and explained the hunting matter to Xia Mingyue across the carriage.

Xia Mingyue did not stop them, but only smiled and warned, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, sister. I know my limits." Xia Yunji responded with a smile, asked someone to get a bow and arrow, and then called Wu Jin to go to the wasteland with him.

The delegation continued to move forward. When the sounds of footsteps and horse hooves gradually died down, the rabbit that had been hiding in the nest poked its head out again, looked around, and ran out of the nest. However, it only stayed outside for a short while before quickly going back into the nest.

Upon seeing this, Wu Jin rushed over and chased to the place where the rabbit's nest was. After a burst of barking, he began to dig the soil swiftly, trying to dig up the rabbit's nest.

The rabbits hiding in the den were frightened and fled out from the other side of the den one after another. Each one of them was fat, strong and agile.

Wu Jin became more and more motivated, selected one of the targets, and ran after him.

Xia Yunji, riding on his horse, clenched the bow in his hand, drew an arrow from the quiver on the horse's back, put it on the bowstring, pulled it to the full length, and shot...

The arrow flew out with a "whoosh" and went straight towards one of the hares. With a "bang", it pierced straight into the rabbit's abdomen and nailed it to the ground.

The rabbit struggled in vain and could only lie there gasping for breath and waiting to die.

Xia Yunji did not move forward even half a step, but continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows. There were several "whoosh" sounds in succession, and each arrow was chasing its target, and none of them missed, and all of them hit a rabbit!
Almost in an instant, all the rabbits that ran out of the rabbit holes were killed by Xia Yunji's arrows.

The only one left was the one Wu Jin was chasing.

The rabbit, under Wu Jin's constant pursuit, panicked and ran into the trunk of a tree, dying on the spot.

Wu Jin: "..."

Anyway, it is its achievement after all.

After picking up the dead rabbit, Wu Jin happily showed off his achievement to Xia Yunji.

"Wu Jin has the demeanor of a hunting dog, awesome!" Xia Yunji did not hesitate to praise him, and rode his horse to pick up all the rabbits he had just shot.

There were five rabbits in total, each of them was fat and healthy and quite heavy.

It’s time to have a snack!

Xia Yunji put all the rabbits on the horse's back and happily led Wu Jin to catch up with the crowd.

Xia Yunji and Wu Jin's actions just now were all seen clearly by Li Juncheng who was in the carriage.

Li Juncheng had never had the experience of leading troops in battle himself, and he had only heard about the abilities of Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji.

Now, I have witnessed Xia Yunji's abilities with my own eyes.

Xia Yunji could shoot an arrow at such a nimble and clever rabbit, which was known for its cunning, without missing a single shot. What about on the battlefield?
