Chapter 11 Returning to the City
"The throwing pot is over. General Yuchi scored 2 arrows, General Qin scored 2 arrows, General Cheng scored 2 arrows, Li Zhu scored 2 arrows, Taoist Li scored 2 arrows..."
Si She reported to the King of Qin about the result of this time throwing the pot. Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, tonight, everyone will have fun. I will reward the people who are in the target, but those who are not in the target should not be discouraged. I will also reward them."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin!"
"Okay, okay, you, I, the king and the minister, don't be so restrained." The King of Qin waved his hand and took out the reward order he had already prepared. A waiter next to him immediately took it.
Li Shimin is good at winning people's hearts, otherwise there wouldn't be so many soldiers willing to work hard for him.
The waiter walked forward with Li Shimin's commendation order and read out: "Give it to Yuchi Gong a pair of deer antlers, a few wild game... Give it to Qin Qiong's pair of bear paws, a few wild game... Give it to Cheng Yaojin bear skin, a few wild game... Give it to Li Yida's fox skin, a few wild game... Give it to Li Chunfeng's tiger skin, a few wild game..."
For those with a lot of Nakaya, Li Shimin gave him good rewards, such as deer antlers, bear paws, and bear skins.
However, when it comes to Li Yida and Li Chunfeng, it seems a bit interesting.
Why do you say so? Because there is still a big gap between tiger skins and fox skins. This is the truth of "fox pretending to be a tiger's power". How can foxes compare to tigers?
Not to mention Li Chunfeng's tiger skin, even compared with deer antlers, bear paws, and bear skin, Li Yida's fox skin also seems much shabby.
However, these people all scored two arrows, but there was such a clear gap in the rewards they received. Obviously, either the King of Qin was biased towards someone, or the King of Qin was biased towards someone.
If you think about it carefully, the King of Qin is not the kind of narrow-minded person. It is impossible to say that he is biased against Li Yida.
Since this is the case, it must be that there is a preference for some people, so the rewards shared are better than normal.
Needless to say, it is normal for the King of Qin to follow the King of Qin to fight in the south and north, and to die. It is very normal for the King of Qin to have a preference for them.
But for Li Chunfeng, how could he be favored by the King of Qin? This is something that those people on the field who do not know the truth cannot understand.
After reading the commendation order, the people who participated in the autumn hunting this time, from the generals to the soldiers guarding the camp, received good rewards. The whole house was happy, but only one of them was resentful.
This person is Li Yida, the chief clerk of Chang'an County. In his heart, Li Chunfeng, a stinky Taoist priest, why did he get a better reward than himself?
Therefore, in Li Yida's heart, he had already held a grudge against Li Yida. Jealousy sometimes really blinds a person's eyes.
The lively hunting banquet did not disperse until late at night. When the tent came out, most people swayed back to their tents. Only Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, and Sun Simiao, the Taoist trio, were sober.
After leaving the big tent, I had just walked a few steps, but I didn't expect that Li Yida was waiting in front of me.
"Congratulations to Li Lang, congratulations to Li Lang." Li Yida walked up to him and congratulated Li Chunfeng repeatedly.
Li Chunfeng was stunned. He was not familiar with Li Yida, so he told him where he was happy?
On the side, Sun Simiao replied: "Zhengbu Li, don't know where the joy comes from?"
"Hahaha..." Li Yida smiled, "Tonight, everyone can see that His Highness the King of Qin favors Li Lang. Isn't this a great joy?"
"Hungry... Master Li, I miss you too much." Li Chunfeng said, "Mr. Li is both civil and military, and you should be the most favored person of the King of Qin and the Princess."
"Hahaha, I believe that Li is the person that the King of Qin needs the most. There will be more in the future!" With a loud laugh, Li Yida walked past Li Chunfeng and the other two. His words were quite similar to Li Chunfeng's provocation.
Li Chunfeng shook his head and muttered: "Bored."
Then, the three of them returned to their respective camps to rest. It was already the morning of the second day when they opened their eyes again.
Early in the morning, the Qiuhunting team began to clean up, load the tents and carriages, and the team of more than 100 people began to set off towards Chang'an City in a mighty manner.
Because the Dongjiao Hunting Ground is close to the east gate of Chang'an City, it took only more than an hour before the convoy began to enter the city.
The King of Qin entered the city, gongs and drums opened the way, and flags were flying. The King of Qin was wearing military uniform and rode on a war horse, enjoying the praise of the people of Chang'an City.
As for Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao, they were not treated so well. The three of them sat on a ox cart pulling a tent at the end and finally entered the city.
But don’t look down on this broken ox cart. It was already very good not to let Yuan Tiangang and the other two walk back to the city. In ancient times, the roads in the countryside were difficult to walk, so the ox cart was bumpy all the way, and Li Chunfeng’s butt almost turned into eight-petal pieces. Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, he jumped off the ox cart.
"Chunfeng, what do you want?"
Seeing Li Chunfeng jumped out of the ox cart, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao had no choice but to get off the ox cart.
With his feet on the ground, Li Chunfeng felt much more at ease, and moved his muscles and said, "Hurry, I'll be able to come down and take a breath."
Seeing that he had entered the city, Yuan Tiangang, Sun Simiao and others also let Li Chunfeng.
"How come the three Taoist priests get off the ox cart?" However, the soldier in charge of driving the cart thought something had happened, so he got off the ox cart and asked.
Sun Simiao waved his hand: "Brother Soldiers, it's not your business. We are tired of sitting down and walking. Just go back."
"This..." The soldier was a little embarrassed.
Yuan Tiangang said: "We have entered the city, we will take care of ourselves. Brother, hurry up and chase the team in front."
"Okay, those three Taoist priests are careful."
The soldier drove the ox cart to chase the large army, leaving Li Chunfeng and the other three to walk slowly forward.
The three of them had just passed the east gate and suddenly heard a neighing sound from behind.
"hiss……"
After the horse was heard, a sound of horse hooves came from outside the city gate. Li Chunfeng was also curious about the baby. He looked like a "tourism" group, and turned around and looked in the direction where the horse hooves came.
The horse's hooves finally approached. The first thing that reflected Li Chunfeng's eyes was a maroon-red horse. The bright red ball was very eye-catching. It was tall and mighty, as fast as lightning, and came from outside the city gate.
The maroon figure took the lead and suddenly tied the reins before the city gate. The horse stopped instantly, then raised its front legs high, and the whole horse's body was almost upright.
With this look, Li Chunfeng's soul flew away. He saw a woman on the horse's back.
I saw her wearing a light green narrow sleeved jacket, a white soap on her shoulders, and a red skirt with gold flowers on her lower body. The red shoes under the skirt and the Japanese draped bun on her head swayed with the horse, her cheeks like snow, her nose was beautiful, her red lips, and her eyebrows were shining brightly. Especially at the lower right side of the mouth, there was a black beauty mole. She turned to sit down the red horse and said a delicate hum, which was quite as good as a man.
"There are such beautiful women in the world..."
