The mountains and forests in the distance were rising and falling, and the soldiers rode their horses and started striking large areas of flying birds.

Xu Yan followed slowly with a few guards. When he arrived at a small river, he asked someone to dig a stove, take out the pots and pans, and prepare to cook.

If you want to do something like hunting, you should let professionals do it. Whether it is Yin Shenglong or Zhao Chenghuai, they are all good hunters, not to mention that Pang Hu is here, so you will not have to worry about not being able to catch prey.

After igniting the fire, he put the pot on it and boiled water. Thinking that Zhao Chenghuai and the others would not come back for a while, Xu Yan cut off a wooden stick, sharpened the other end, and went into the water to fish.

I was lucky. I caught two small fish, cleaned them up, threw them directly into the pot, put them in the green onion, ginger and salt, and a pot of delicious fish soup was cooked.

Xu Yansheng came out and handed it to the guards, each with a bowl, drinking it softly, feeling very satisfied.

Before the fish soup was finished, a huge tiger roar suddenly came from a distance, resounding throughout the mountains and forests.

Xu Yan looked into the distance and asked in surprise: "Is there a tiger here?"

The guard shook his head and didn't know. Xu Yan thought for a while, turned over and rushed towards the direction where the sound came.

He was not worried that Zhao Chenghuai and the others were all soldiers of war, and they were also following the guards, even if they couldn't beat them, they could still run away.

He was curious about the tiger. He had seen it in the zoo in his previous life, but he was lazy and did not have the domineering spirit of the King of Beasts. Now that he encountered the original product, he naturally could not miss it.

The tiger roar continued to come, creating a crazy aura, which then ended abruptly, and the mountains and forests suddenly became quiet.

The accompanying guard looked alert, picked up a bow and arrow, guarding Xu Yan on the left and right.

There was an open area ahead, with gravel all over the ground. Xu Yan looked up and saw Yin Shenglong and Zhao Chenghuai standing together, checking their prey.

Xu Yan lifted the reins and speeded up, shouting: "Second brother and third brother, has the tiger been beaten?"

"I've been fighting, right here!" Zhao Chenghuai smiled and said, "You're late and didn't see your second brother's archery technique that can penetrate Yang's hundred steps, which is a pity!"

Yin Shenglong put the bow and arrow back on the horse's back and smiled.

Xu Yan walked up to check, Wow, a big white-browed tiger was dead at this time, and he could not die any more. There were two wounds, one was the left eye and the other was the neck, all of which were penetrated by bows and arrows. It was a fatal injury and was very accurate.

"Good arrow!"

Xu Yan applauded and asked, "Second brother, what are you going to do with it?"

"Chop and eat meat!"

"Can you leave the tiger skin for me after eating the meat? The general gave me the jade pendant heirloom, but I don't have anything to repay the gift. I want to use the tiger skin to make a cloak to send it, which is my wish!"

"It should be done!"

Yin Shenglong laughed and patted his shoulder: "Although it is not enough, if it is not enough, go to the deep mountains in two days and beat him ten or eight to be used as a betrothal gift!"

When he said this, everyone laughed.

Tigers were protected animals in later generations, and hunting was illegal, but now they are rampant and occasionally attack mountain people. Killing them is to eliminate harm for the people and there is no psychological burden at all.

As the three of them were talking, Pang Hu came over on a horse and brought a bunch of prey. The largest of them was a wild boar, weighing ten pounds and full of fangs. He must be very fierce when he was alive, but now he is covered in knife marks and blood.

With so many things, they will definitely not be able to finish them, and the rest can be taken back to the camp.

Back at the river, Xu Yan began to clean up his prey, threw it into the pot and cooked it over high heat. Soon, the tempting smell of meat appeared. Hu Zi was the most unpolite. He reached out to pick up a piece of meat and started gnawing. The others also snatched it up.

Xu Yan brought a few jars of wine, but he didn't drink it himself because he had not fermented alcohol. He would wake up the next day and would feel a split headache and die of ecstasy.

But Yin Shenglong and the others didn't care. They each held a jar and drank happily, which made Xu Yan's mouth twitch.

A bunch of drunkards!

After drinking and eating, the few people were not in a hurry to go back and lay by the river to bask in the sun.

Xu Yan held a grass in his mouth and plunged his hands behind his head. When he was about to fall asleep, Hu Zi pushed him: "Someone is coming!"

"Um?"

Xu Yan rubbed his eyes and sat up, and saw Yin Shenglong and Zhao Chenghuai standing up and looking at the road beside him.

Sure enough, not long after, a sound of horse hooves came. When the knights saw them, they looked happy and clasped their fists and said, "Person Yin, the imperial court has issued an order. The general ordered you to return to the camp immediately!"

Will?

The few people felt inexplicable, but they packed up their things and rode their horses back to the camp.

As soon as I walked in, I found something was wrong. The originally quiet camp suddenly became busy, and the mule and carriage frames were pulled out. The soldiers ran around and were busy loading things on it.

Yin Shenglong grabbed someone and asked, "What's wrong?"

The soldier panted and said, "The general ordered that the entire army would set sail tomorrow and go to Shuozhou to guard!"

The few people were stunned, and Xu Yan asked in surprise: "Tomorrow? So anxious?"

"I heard that the Huns gathered their troops and prepared to invade the border. The court issued an order to let the general lead the army to fight against foreign enemies!"

The soldier paused and said, "...Your Majesty passed away not long ago, the new emperor ascended the throne, and his reign has also been changed!"

Several people were shocked by the news, and then they saw a group of people walking out of the handsome account. The first one was a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. He should have been an eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict, followed by a group of sword-bearing guards, full of dust.

Zhao Shouting was with him, looking sad, bowed and said, "I would like to ask the eunuch to convey it on my behalf. I will definitely live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. If the Huns dare to invade our territory, I will definitely let them go without a return!"

The eunuch nodded gently: "Our family remembers it! The military situation is urgent. I hope the general will set off quickly. We will return to Beijing to report our lives, so we won't leave more!"

These people turned over and left the camp quickly.

"General!"

Leaded by Yin Shenglong, several people came forward to greet him. Zhao Shouting said in a deep voice: "The border is urgently reported that the Xiongnu had made a strange move and wanted to offend the border. As soldiers, we are responsible for defending the territory. Hurry up and pack up our things, and the whole army will set off at noon tomorrow!"

"yes!"

The few people returned to the tent. Xu Yan had not much stuff and quickly packed it up. He ran to find Dr. Zheng and learned from him the full content of the decree.

Emperor Taihe died early last month, and then the new emperor ascended the throne and changed his year name to Apocalypse.

Since Emperor Tianqi was a little baby who had just turned three years old, Empress Dowager Xuan of Ming was temporarily in power and three ministers were assisted by him.

Xu Yan had no feelings about the emperor's death. After all, he had never even seen each other, so he was a stranger at most.

He was a time traveler and had no awe of the emperor. Unlike Zhao Chenghuai, Dr. Zheng and others, after hearing about the death of Emperor Taihe, they showed more or less sadness.

The king and the king are even above the relatives in the thinking of the ancients.
