Chapter 191 Old Events in Jiangnan
The horse racing outing will naturally not be in front of Tokyo. It is too lively in front of Tokyo and cannot run away.
The group of people took the carriage to the south, and the kites in the sky behind were getting farther and farther away, but the scenery became clearer and more beautiful.
Zhao Qi sighed immediately: "Dali landscapes are picturesque, and my daughter is passionate. I have always longed for it, but I don't know when I will be lucky enough to meet you."
Duan Yichang felt even more depressed when he heard the word "love" of his daughter. Thinking that the matter became more and more difficult, he felt that the King of Qi was disgusting.
There are no mountains outside Tokyo, only some lush forests, which are Genyue, which has been built in the north of the city for several years, is also in this way.
Several forks were opened on the official road ahead, and Zhao Qi pointed westward: "I have been there, and the scenery has always been good. There are slopes and rivers, so you can hunt and fish."
Duan Yichang saw Zhao Qi staggeringly on the right hand and smiled and said, "Prince, is there a hunting place nearby?"
Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Even a large wild forest, there are some ups and downs. There are not many big wild animals, but small ones are not short. If you don't want to eat what you bring, you can make some wild game to drink."
Duan Yichang smiled and said, "Yichang has never thought about these things. He has never brought a bow and arrow, so he may not be able to beat him."
Zhao Qiong said: "I brought it, right in the carriage behind me. If Prince Duan is interested, he can show his skills when he arrives."
Duan Yi said long: "This is good. Although he brought sheep, chicken and goose meat when he came out, he never had fresh and delicious food."
Zhao Qiong nodded: "Not only are there wild game in the forest, but there are also fish and shrimps in the river. Even if it is washed and peeled, it will be very convenient."
Duan Yichang nodded and said, "One person got off the official road, and all the carriages and horses walked towards the fork road. Although the scenery here is more beautiful, tourists immediately saw fewer tourists. After about two quarters of an hour, they only heard the wind blowing the leaves of the forest, and the beasts and birds singing.
Find a flat and dry place, and the followers set up a thin tent. Zhao Qi asked Lei San to take two bows and arrows, and smiled and said to Duan Yi: "I am not good at archery skills. If you can't hunt wild game, you will take advantage of Prince Duan."
Duan Yichang had just had a plan and wanted to set a lottery and compete with Zhao Qi for hunting, and the fewer things to agree to. At this moment, even if Zhao Qi said this, he was blocked and it was hard to mention it again.
However, it was as expected that Zhao Xiao’s archery skills were not good. Yesterday, Zhao Xiao didn’t like to listen to martial arts. Today, it was common to watch equestrians. It was strange that the archery skills would be good.
The two of them took a short rest, and the followers burned the charcoal fire brought from the mansion, then boiled water and made tea. After drinking, they rode their horses to the forest near the left.
The trees in the forest were sparse, and the horses were jogging without any hindrance. I saw that there were many birds flying above, but they were not as heavy as arrows. They were smashed when they hit them. Zhao Qi frowned: "It's better to bring a slingshot."
The prodigal children in Tokyo, the deceased gang play slingshots more often, and they just hit birds and pedestrians in the daytime and shoot widows at night.
Duan Yichang thought to himself that this King of Qi is probably the same, otherwise what kind of slingshot would you look for when hunting?
The two of them walked slowly in the forest, without using their followers to surround the beasts. They just chased and shot. After a while, Duan Yichang had gained a little. After killing a few small beasts, Zhao Qi gained nothing.
Looking at Duan Yi's prey, Zhao Qi looked bad, and suddenly a small head was exposed from the bushes in front of him. It turned out to be a gray-haired rabbit. Zhao Qi was immediately overjoyed, took a bow and led an arrow, and shot straight out.
This time, it was like a god's hand, and he had a clear head and hit the hare. Zhao Qixi said, "I'm hit!"
Duan Yichang looked carefully and couldn't help but be surprised. Zhao Qi's hunting was lost again and again, either deviating too far or passing by. Now the arrow hit the wild rabbit without any bias.
Zhao Qi was so excited that he was about to ask his followers to find their prey when he saw the gray rabbit suddenly moved, and then he jumped into the distance with a feather arrow on his butt.
Seeing this, Zhao Qi's face changed and hurriedly shot forward, and shot another arrow, but this time he lost his head. The hare ran away with the whole arrow without a trace.
Looking at Zhao Qi's face was gloomy and speechless, Duan Yi smiled and said, "Prince, the arrow must be because of the blunt arrow, so the rabbit will run away if it doesn't penetrate deep."
Zhao Qi looked at him and laughed: "It's not bad, it's true that the arrow is dull, otherwise this arrow will pass by? How can a small rabbit escape?"
Duan Yichang felt a little relieved. Although he was cheated, he felt much better when he saw that the King of Qi was not capable and was like an embroidered pillow.
After this, I lost interest in hunting and went to the river to catch fish. This did not require two people to do it. No matter which sermon, I could do it, and I had a lot of gains in just a moment.
Zhao Qi sat on a folded chair by the river and basked in the sun. He heard Duan Yichang talk about the specialties of Dali's famous scenic spots and suddenly said: "I heard that Lingzun had traveled to the Central Plains when he was young. Is this a matter?"
Duan Yichang was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi actually asked about such a thing. He couldn't figure out Zhao Qi's intentions in his mind, and said, "The prince is very informed that even his father had traveled to the Central Plains."
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I have several subordinates, who were once people in the green forest on Jiangnan Road. They once told me about this. When I was the prince, I came to our Song Dynasty to explore the world, especially in the Jiangnan area, and made a great reputation."
Duan Heyu was the son of Duan Zhengchun, the King of Zhennan, and not the son of Emperor Baoding Duan Zhengming. Duan Zhengchun had not yet succeeded to the throne at that time, so Zhao Qiong called him the crown prince, not the prince.
Duan Yichang thought for a while and said, "I heard my father talk about this, even my mother often remembered Jiangnan, but Yichang regretted that he had never been there."
Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Duan Heyu's empress came from the powerful minister Gao family and had nowhere to come. Duan Yichang's mother was Wang Fei, and she was not from a Dali official family. Few people knew about her origins. But now when Duan Yichang's words, it seems that she had been to Jiangnan back then?
He said, "Lingtang..."
Duan Yichang smiled, there was nothing to hide in this kind of thing. He said, "My mother is not a native of Dali, but a woman from the State of Song. She met and got to know each other in Jiangnan, and then returned to Dali together."
"So that's it." Zhao Qi nodded and smiled: "I think Lingzun was handsome and skilled in the past, and he must have met many friends in the martial arts world. He may have had sworn brothers or the like."
Duan Yichang thought a little while after hearing this, and felt that there was something in Zhao Qi's words, but he really didn't understand these things, so he said, "The prince asked me this. Yichang had never heard his father mention these things, even his mother... had never said it."
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I am curious." After saying that, he stopped talking.
Duan Yi was confused and didn't know the intention of Zhao Qi's questioning these words. He said he was curious but seemed to have some meaning, not as simple as asking casually.
At this time, several women came from the other side of the river, carrying wooden basins to the river to wash clothes, and they looked like they were dressed as housekeepers on nearby farms.
They were not afraid of Zhao Qiong and others. They rolled up their trousers on the big bluestone diagonally opposite, revealing half of their white calves, and laughing while washing clothes. The sound was conveyed, which was nothing more than the Zhang family, the Li family's shortcoming, and the Wang family's little Lang was so bold.
Zhao Qi was interesting and said, "Prince Duan, if you are in Dali, should you listen to the current scenes of the song?"
Duan Yichang looked at the opposite side, and the women laughed and looked here. Seeing him looking at him, Duan Yichang blushed and said, "Prince, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but... it's probably right."
Zhao Qiqi said: "You haven't seen it before?"
Duan Yichang said shyly: "Prince, I rarely leave the city in Dali. Although I often hear about this kind of thing, I really haven't seen it with my own eyes."
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Prince Duan, joy lies among the people, and sorrow lies among the people. The temple is too high and you can't see the market, so how can you know the joy and sorrow of the people?"
Duan Yichangxin said, I have known these principles for a long time, but what does this have to do with the song? It’s not that you covet my Dali daughter’s affectionate daughter and don’t think about it.
He said, "Your words are better than reading for ten years, and Yi Chang has been taught."
After a while, the game fish and shrimp were grilled, and the two of them ate and chatted until they were slightly drunk.
Duan Yichang saw that Zhao Qi was very excited, and couldn't help but plot in his heart and smiled and said, "Prince, how about racing horses later?"
