Chapter 36 The thirty-sixth return to the Lord Embattle Thorn Bear All Saints Yan Ji Xiaolan fell from the horse

Qianlong's eyelids twitched abruptly: Little Battelle committed another crime, it was too unexpected.As the ox cart approached, he also saw clearly that it was indeed Battelle, still wearing the blue robe worn by an eunuch, looking up at the sky with an air of resignation.Qianlong pondered for a moment, he had regained his composure, smiled and asked King Horqin in Mongolian: "Is this your slave?" "This can't be wrong. It came from Kazuo Jie, I don't know which Taoism it is from." "Every year at the Nadamu meeting, do you have to sacrifice the flag like this?"

"Your Majesty, of course!" King Horqin didn't seem to care very much when he returned to Qianlong, because at this moment, a hundred horses selected by each banner entered the arena, and the drivers were dressed in red, all of them proudly puffed out their chests like roosters, and they were having fun with the horses. No matter men, women, old or young are cheering crazily, echoing the flag racers.King Horqin also seemed to be a hero on horseback, looking at the group of horses from time to time, he couldn't help blurting out excitedly: "—Master! Look at that iron green horse, I'm sure it's not even two years old—" He suddenly realized When he lost his composure, he hurriedly got up and bowed in fear: "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure..."

"It's nothing, you are a Mongolian hero!" Qianlong smiled and asked again, "This prisoner is only fourteen or five years old at most?" King Horqin smiled and said: "I don't know. Probably so. The emperor wants to know, call me The butler is calling back." Qianlong leaned back, seeming to be a bit displeased with the sun's glare, lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, and said, "It's too unpleasant to have the interrogation case in the third hall on this occasion. This is also your housework. But I have an unfeeling request: you Buy me some face, okay?" King Horqin bowed down again, and said: "You are the Lord of all things, as bright and holy as the sun in the sky! Bogda Khan, I will never disobey your will !" Qianlong patted him on the shoulder and said warmly: "Please sit down and listen to me. The empress has been suffering from illness for many years. This year she met a good doctor and she has recovered. She has a wish to save someone, and I have already done it for her. I have fulfilled my wish. I also made a vow to save a person, so I don’t want to see your beautiful grassland splashed with human blood today. I will give you a piece of beautiful amber in exchange for his life, will it work?”

"This is the kindness of Bogda Khan, your mind is wider than this boundless grassland!" King Horqin was the closest to Beijing, and he walked frequently to visit the emperor in the past dynasties, so he knew a little bit about the tricks of the Han people, so he just said He poured a bowl of rice soup for Qianlong, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wang, tell them to let him go!" He called the housekeeper of his palace, and gave some instructions in a low voice. The steward bowed respectfully to Qianlong, held a large order arrow in his arms, walked straight to the venue with a standard respectful step unique to Mongolian noble servants, and announced loudly: "By the will of the supreme emperor Qianlong, amnesty Criminal slave Battelle!" All the people in the venue immediately rejoiced, many people danced on the spot, some threw their hats and whips high, jumped and twirled for joy, and murmured the wisdom of the Holy Lord.Amidst the cheers, a group of singing girls dressed in colorful robes danced and sang to the drums:

Why do the larks in the sky sing? Why are the flowers on the ground blooming? Why do eagles soar high? Why does the autumn wind blow the grass waves? Oh... all for our Bogda Khan, You are the shining sun on the grassland... Qianlong narrowed his eyes with a smile, listening to this intoxicating hymn quietly.During the singing, Battelle was brought to him without paying attention.It took him a long time to recover from his intoxication, and he saw Battelle standing near the platform, and said with a smile: "Once again." "Yes, once again!" Battelle said: "They wronged—" Qianlong stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said: "Don't ask about the case now, if you are pardoned, you will be free and you can go." Battelle said : "I am your slave now, you are my master, I will follow you wherever I go!"

Qianlong stared at Battelle with his pitch-black pupils for a long time, then sighed: "What about your grandmother?" "No, never. She ate what you gave, and went to heaven with a smile..." Battelle lowered his eyes full of tears.Qianlong's eyes were also a little damp, and he said to Fu Heng, "You take care of him for the time being. He is still young, so don't hold him back." At this moment, horses had already been harnessed in the arena, and with the sound of "opening the circle", the stall gates on the left and right were all opened, and more than a thousand horses galloped wildly, but all of them were black, red, yellow, white, chestnut, or Green, bridleless horses of various colors roared like clouds like waves, like a flowing horse river, and rushed straight to the empty field in front of the platform. The onlookers had already dodged away, leaving a wide gap for the group of angry dragons. .At this time, the jockeys dispersed to fight on their own.The lords in the stands were short of breath, their eyes were fixed on the driver and the horses, and their fists were locked tightly to see this extremely thrilling scene.I saw those riders holding poles and ropes one by one, like boatmen floating on a raft on a raft, swinging their poles and throwing ropes nimbly, looking for their favorite horses to start.King Horqin's face was flushed, his nose fluttered, and he stared straight at the driver on the iron green horse. When he turned around the second time, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Tuobag! I want that pure horse!" The black one—give me a set!” Tobag agreed: “Yes, my lord—” In a blink of an eye, he rode out for more than 200 steps, and at this time, thousands of horses and hooves were flying on the pasture, grass leaves and yellow dust were flying. Qi dance, horse neighing resonates with people, showing a mighty, fierce, masculine and masculine momentum.Qianlong raised his clairvoyance to look at the iron-green horse, frowned for a while, smiled for a while, breathed silently for a while, and suddenly smiled, handed the binoculars to King Horqin, and said, "Your warrior has lived up to the high expectations and has already caught the black horse— —look at it!"

"Thank you, thank you!" King Horqin said again and again, raised the mirror impatiently, turned the knob, and grinned: "Your Majesty, the knight on the livid horse is my number one hero, Tobag—he really is, Save face in front of the emperor for me!" As he said, Tobag had already entangled the black horse with the pole, and approached with a crooked step.Tobag seemed to want to show off in front of Qianlong and the prince. He tried several times to jump on the back of the black horse, but the black horse turned around vigilantly every time.He dragged himself to the platform, and Tobag flew up and rode, but failed, he cursed something, tightened the harness on his chest, and grabbed the black mane with his hands, " "噗" jumped up.All the princes cheered almost unanimously:

"it is good!!!" But before the applause fell, the beast neighed long and hard, but it didn't pouted like a normal horse to test the rider, but rushed a few steps, slammed back with its buttocks pouted, and turned to the horse again. The previous one - Tobag was almost like a projectile. When he was sent high by it, he whirled in the air and fell straight down. He hit the ground with a "bang", and fell on his back.But the black horse snorted loudly, stopped and gave Qianlong a smug grunt, and watched Tuobag get up with breath.With a roar of "huh", Tobag rolled over again, guarding tightly against the hand in front of it.But the horse was extremely clever, never repeating the previous movement, just swaying sideways sideways desperately from side to side, then kicked backwards and then plunged forward. Tobag was twisted faintly by it, and without paying attention, his body had already left the horse's back, Going around in the air for a half turn, he was thrown obliquely!When Tobag was in extreme danger, his legs cut in the air, and a one-armed yaksha twisted for a circle like exploring the sea. Bone crouched down.But this Mongolian man was extremely strong, he stood up with a "huh", twisted his feet and wanted to get on the horse again.

"You are a hero, it is not easy to trap it!" Qianlong said on the platform, "Now you are injured, don't tame it anymore." He said to King Horqin: "He listens to you, tell him, the grassland There are a lot of horses. Don't be sad about it." King Horqin smiled and comforted him, and several palace guards came to help him.Qianlong sighed: "This horse has snow-white hooves, and it is famous in the Central Plains. It is called Qianli Xueditan. Idle people can't tame it. Horses have human nature, and this is also fate!" When King Horqin heard Qianlong's praise of the horse, he immediately understood, pointed at the horse and said, "Who will tame this fierce horse for Bogda Khan?" As soon as the words fell, Battelle stood up and shouted: "I'll come!" He said and rushed out.Before everyone could blink their eyes, Little Battelle had already grasped the harness, scratched the mane and flew onto the horse.

Even the horse didn't expect him to be so agile, it seemed to be startled for a moment, and immediately turned in circles furiously, kicked its buttocks, and put down its legs, all of a sudden, Battelle was lifted up, Battelle was still in the air, and it was worn down below. It turned like a spin.He actually put Battelle down with his head down and his feet up.This kid is also really fast, he flicked his hands on the ground, another horse squatted, the horse saw that he was about to jump up and run again, but was tightly strangled by little Battelle, it turned its buttocks and jumped violently Kick.Battelle was dragged around by the beast, staggered and staggered a few times before he got around to the horse's collar again, reached out his hand to lift the mane, and got on the horse as lightly as a swallow.This time he also behaved well, he tightened the noose as soon as he got up, and unexpectedly clasped his hands together to hold the horse's neck.No matter how much the horse tosses about, being entangled and clamped by his limbs, it is actually "sticked" to the horse's back like a plaster that cannot be removed.The horse struggled for a while, then let out a long neigh and galloped away.From Qianlong to the lords and attendants knew that Little Battelle's difficulties were over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back.Only then did Qianlong feel that the palms of both hands were full of sweat.

Little Battelle was riding on the bare-bottomed horse. At first, he was knocked upside down, and the pain between his legs and buttocks was painful.But the black pony seemed to understand, running more and more steadily, Battelle really looked a little proud of the "autumn wind", lightly brushed the horse's buttocks with the noose, but saw the cattle, sheep, and horses on the grassland passing by, turning yellow Unknown wild flowers of various colors in the autumn grass kept moving backwards. At this time, the horse knew the master's hand on its back, calling east to east, and waving west to west, like a dragon swimming in the clouds.After going around in a big circle before returning to the platform, Battelle turned over and got off the ride.Thousands of eyes stared at the scene, and suddenly there was a storm of noise and joy. Bateer led the horse and bowed deeply to Qianlong, saying: "Bogda Khan, this horse can run a thousand miles a day. It It's yours!" "You can make Bogda Khan sweat profusely!" Qianlong laughed and said, "Since you are good at horsemanship, you can be my stable boy!" Seeing that King Horqin couldn't put it down when he was playing with the telescope, Qianlong said again: "This is your reward!" King Horqin kowtowed to thank him after leaving the table. The next morning, Qianlong returned to the Mulan Imperial Camp with his congregants. At this time, more than 20,000 green battalion troops had obeyed Fu Heng's order and formed a paddock with a radius of 100 miles according to their positions. Tigers, leopards, bears, jackals, deer, rabbits, elk, musk, and wild boars came over... In order to prevent wild animals from raiding the imperial camp, Fu Hengzhen took great pains. In addition to posting three steps and one post around the main hall of the imperial camp, he also adjusted the muskets at Gubeikou Team, with fifty muskets temporarily acting as guards.It was expected that Qianlong would be satisfied, but who knew that Qianlong would get more and more unhappy as he walked into the paddock, until he entered the main hall.Has sunk face.Fu Heng and Ji Yun didn't know what went wrong, so they followed in. Seeing that Qianlong was only looking for the booklet, they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to wait silently.After half an hour, Qianlong put down the memorial in his hand, dipped the pen in cinnabar to write, but stopped, and asked: "Fu Heng, what do you think we are here for?" "Hunting." Fu Heng carefully accompanied the conversation, trying to figure out Qianlong's thoughts: "The layout of the green camp outside was returned to the master last night. The master looked all the way, and I don't know if there are any omissions. The slave hastened to--"" As I said last night, the layout is very good." Qianlong put down his pen, "However, if you put such a large force outside the main hall of the imperial camp, what beast would dare to come and test the knife?" It turned out to be for this matter.Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.Fu Heng said with a smile: "Before the slave came with him, the two military ministers Zhang and E repeatedly asked that the master loves to move or not, and no matter how other errands are handled, the first thing is safety. The main hall and the palace walls No setting, no troops, if there are ferocious beasts rushing in, or monkeys in the forest rush in to grab something to eat, if one is not well protected, it is a trivial matter for the minions to be smashed to pieces, how can a minister explain to the people of the world?" Qianlong said: "We are here to hunt, not for safety. If you want to be safe, you go back to Beijing!" Ji Yun said with a smile: "I have to refute Lord Long Live now. It is not safe to come for hunting, and you cannot hunt if you are not safe." .The master clearly declares to the world that Autumn Hunting is for training soldiers, not for fun. Since it is so solemn, the imperial camp is the imperial camp of the soldiers in training, don't you want to guard against the enemy's attack?" "Remove all those soldiers!" Qianlong interrupted Ji Yun impatiently, "There are too many 'reasons' in this world, and reasoning is not as valuable as reasoning—there are guards on duty within a mile of the imperial camp, You can keep ten muskets. When the beast comes, what do the guards do?" He made it clear that it was unreasonable, Fu Heng had no choice but to smile, and had no choice but to agree to Shi Li and go down to make arrangements, and asked Sauron to give detailed instructions. Seeing Battelle standing in a daze, Fu Heng spoke half-baked Mongolian, and ordered: "I will also send you It's an errand. Follow your master closely, don't leave him an inch, and lead two horses. If the situation is not good, um...you will protect him and escape." He gestured. "Escape...?" Battelle understood the meaning, but he didn't understand the meaning in the "meaning". His eyes widened, his face became more and more red, and he said, "I heard from Uncle Sauron that you are a hero, how could you Figured out this way? Our Mongolian grandma didn't teach the word 'escape' when she was born..." Fu Heng was angry and funny, knowing that he couldn't explain clearly, he waved to Sauron and said, "You are him 'Uncle', enlighten him on how to protect him." Hurriedly back to the hall, only to hear Qianlong talking: "What is the purpose of compiling history? It is for today's Yin Jian. Some books, what should be deleted should be deleted, what should be corrected should be corrected, what should be corrected What is preserved, what should be destroyed will be destroyed! I am afraid that you will become pedantic and write indiscriminately. That is not called history, nor is it called a book, but a miscellaneous dish. The ancients who compiled history and books knew how to be taboo for the venerable It is a taboo for relatives. Anyone who enters the Siku Quanshu must be careful, and the ones that come out are high-quality goods, which can warn the world and correct people's hearts. Otherwise, when all kinds of books are collected, you will follow the classics, history, and subsets. If you put them in the same order as Zi Chou Yinmao, you can count as compiling a "Siku Quanshu", which is not good. Just find a gentleman from Sanjia Village and do it, and you, Ji Xiaolan, need to work hard?" Fu Heng listened to them talking about the revision of the "Siku Quanshu". Although he was not on his own errand, he still cared about it. He bowed and stepped back to listen quietly. Ji Yun said: "The emperor said that I will keep it in mind. I said it was Dong Hu. The writing of history is like iron without changing a word, in fact, the history and revision books of the past dynasties still follow the teachings of this dynasty to transform people's hearts, and the history of the writing is countless." "This is very true." Qianlong pinched the Hanyu fan pendant and said: "There is already a decree to collect books. When we return to Beijing, you have to start. So you have to understand in your heart that you are a president in a daze. How can you call the people below 'Zhao Zhao'? Another thing is that the Manchus are the descendants of Jurchen. , also called "Sushen", Aixinjueluo, the word "Jueluo" is translated into Chinese meaning, which is the word "gold". There are many history books in previous dynasties that slandered my ancestors. This time the revision of the book will all be corrected. Going back further, anyone who slanders the ancestors of the dynasty, or who adds the word "犭" to the family name, must be corrected. If it is really unavoidable, it can be deleted." "This..." Ji Yun immediately hesitated: the history books of all dynasties have "trapped" the barbarian and Di, but it has been an old custom for thousands of years.Besides, how would future generations of scholars view him, the president of Siku Quanshu, if he edited and edited historical records with scribbles like this?But Qianlong talked nonsense under the banner of "warning the world and rectifying people's hearts", but he couldn't stand up to him at all.After muttering for a long time, Ji Yun came up with a plan to delay the attack, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this task is astonishingly big. I can't do it in my whole life!" Qianlong laughed and said: "Foolish Old Man can move mountains, and if there is ambition, it will be accomplished!" , I just love the word 'big'. Don't worry, when you return to Beijing, organize a erudite Confucianism department, gather a large number of academically pure Confucian scholars, lead by you, and Fu Heng and others will participate. Prepare the preface. Everyone, compile this first book of all ages!" He looked energetic and radiant as he spoke, with a red light on his face, and Ji Yun could only swallow his saliva secretly.Fu Heng, however, was excited and said, "This is really a glorious event through the ages, and the slaves will follow suit to make some money for future generations!" Qianlong took off the crown with a smile, stood up stroking his slick braids, bent his fingers and said, "One martial art: take down the big and small Jinchuan, as well as Qinghai and Tibet, and open up the western region of Xinjiang! What's more important is Wenzhi, Opening a Bo Hongke, repairing the Sikushu, explaining Confucius and offering sacrifices to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and books all over the world. This is also a great cause that can go to Lingyun Pavilion through the ages. I will do it. In the future, I will meet the Holy Patriarch and Sejong underground. You can be ashamed!" He swayed, pinched the tassels on the golden Wolong bag around his waist, and said to himself: "I am still a scholar among the emperors, right? I heard Gao Shiqi talk about Zhu Yuanzhang when I was young. The beggar emperor listened to the teacher say "Attack heresy, the harm is already done", and he stared nonsense when he didn't understand. He said it was "eliminate the heresy, and it will be harmless to the world", which made the teacher still pinch The nose praised him as "the sage is profound, and he only sees its mystery". You say, have I ever oppressed people with power and talked about classics and history?" "No." Fu Heng and Ji Yun bowed together and answered.One was really convinced; the other took a sip of bitterness.Qianlong gave a long speech, absurdly revising the history of the scriptures, and he was very happy, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and Sauron shouted at the top of his voice: "What is the gatekeeper doing over there? Master Liu is in the sedan chair! - Kabal, bring a few people up!" "Okay! Such a big guy!" Several people were in a daze, and saw Wang Li stumbling and crawling in, his face was white with fright, and he gestured to Qianlong all over his body: "My lord! So tall, so big—heavily weighs three hundred catties—he's the same as a human being!" He seems to be able to walk..." Qianlong hurriedly asked: "What is it?!" Wang Li finally came to his senses and said, "——Blind Xiong broke into the wine cellar..." Several people stood up in unison. Seeing Qianlong looking for the saber on the wall, Fu Heng said anxiously: "Master, this is a servant's business! - Xiaolan, just stop the master, don't be afraid of his anger - I'll go out Take a look—" As he said, he rushed out of the door, snatched the waist knife from the guard at the gate nearby, stepped out of the platform to look, and saw a tall and strong old bear standing in front of the wooden railing on the southwest side of the hall. Like a black stone with a small upper part and a larger lower part, one paw paws at the fence, and the other holds a wine jar, looking around dizzily.Kabal and the two little guards jumped on them, but before they could get close, they were randomly swept away by the bear's paw, and all three of them were beaten to the ground.Sauron at the corner of the hall shouted, "—You five protect Mr. Liu's sedan chair—you five come here, and the ten come up, just hack it to death on the side of the stone fence! This beast is drunk, be careful when it enters the hall! "The crowd shouted, and Liu Tongxun had already got off the sedan chair.Qia Fuheng came over with a knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yanqing, you don't need you here—put him in!" Liu Tongxun said to Fu Heng with a livid face, "You don't have to smile with me! How did you manage to come out like this?" Such a thing——I want to impeach you!" The guards couldn't help him to continue, they went up the shelf and left, only to hear the "bang" of the palace door, Qianlong had already come out, followed by Ji Yun with an embarrassed expression.Then I saw Battelle running out of the apse with his clothes on and bare feet. It turned out that he was sleeping in the back and was going to be on duty at night, but he was woken up by the sound of people. At this time, the guards had all gathered, and Qianlong's safety was no problem at all. Some of them loaded their muskets with ammunition, and only looked around at the big black charcoal bear—not knowing whether Qianlong wanted to take the bear's skin completely, so they dared not move.The bear didn't care at first, chewing something in its mouth, and seemed to be grinning.Only then did I realize that something was wrong. Seeing people surrounded by people on three sides and a wooden railing on one side, I shook my head, raised the wine jar clumsily, and smashed the wooden stake as thick as a bowl to pieces, and ran away. up. "Chasing!" Qianlong shouted loudly, "I want bear gall and bear skin!" "tie!" All the guards responded in unison, except for the one who was guarding Qianlong on duty, they rushed to chase after him.Liu Tongxun wanted to bow and persuade him. Seeing Qianlong running straight forward with his sword in his hand, he was angry and funny, so he had to follow behind - he was getting old and really couldn't keep up with these young people.Ji Yun came from behind and helped him walk together.The crowd chased the bear until they reached a valley. Fu Heng ordered them to stop and said, "This is called Wengkou Valley. The bear can't run away. We need to discuss it. The master wants the bear's gall, so shoot it." That is, if the arrows penetrate the body with holes, the bear skin will become useless, so the only option is to capture it alive or beat it to death with fists and feet, which is a bit difficult for me!" "It's not easy to get a bear's bile." Kabal wiped the sweat from his brow, panting, "The bear must be enraged first, the gallbladder must be suffocated, and the bear must be killed and taken out by caesarean section. It won't work if it's too late. What he said made everyone stunned: everyone can only scare the bear away, not "enrage", only one person can infuriate the bear. Isn't it difficult to fight a bear with bare hands and keep the bear's skin?Fu Hengdao: "The emperor wants the bear bile to relieve the unknown fever of the empress. This is more important than the bear skin - I can't talk about it now, it's not the master who came, leave a few people guarding the valley entrance, and the rest rush in and catch them alive Best, it’s okay to kill him, just run away from this bear—quick, that’s it, let’s go!” All the guards rushed to Yukou as soon as they agreed. There were two young guards who were less than 20 years old and eager to strive for success, and ran at the forefront.Just turning around a small bend, I suddenly saw the bear with its mouth wide open, its eyes blood red, its tongue sticking out, and its white teeth showing, it threw itself into people's arms regardless of everything else.They were so frightened that they dropped their knives, staggered a few times, ran out with their heads in their arms, and shouted, "Fu Zhongtang, Xiong is powerful—" "Stop!" Qianlong suddenly yelled angrily, "How dare you back away! Pull out the flower feathers and step back!" The two little guards were terrified and scolded, and immediately stood frozen on the ground like puppets.But it was only for a moment, the bear did not know what frightened it was in the valley, and it was madly rushing towards Qianlong, gnashing its teeth! It was too late and then it was too fast, only to hear Battelle growl behind Qianlong, and rushed out from the slanting stab with a horizontal body. The body resisted and fell to the side, the bear was provoked by him to stand up, and raised two thick front paws to pounce on Battelle. Although Battelle was still young, he was extremely dexterous, and he did not know what to do. The movement, unexpectedly slipped under the bear's belly, and in an instant, the bear staggered, raised its sharp mouth and wailed to the sky, and fell to the ground like a mountain of dirt, with its four claws stretched out. Struggling on the ground.All this made Qianlong dizzy and dizzy. He didn't see until now that Battelle was holding the little Japanese knife given by Fu Heng in his hand, and he was grinning triumphantly.Qianlong saw the two little guards who had their feathers removed standing behind them in frustration, their faces bowed in mourning, and they were too ashamed to see anyone, so he called them over and asked: "What's your name?" "Chen Shaozu, Gelong..." "What did you see in the valley that made you look so scared?" "This beast has gone crazy," Chen Shaozu said with a crying voice, "We didn't have any precautions when we came out..." Gelong also looked downcast, and said: "The slave is not a human! The slave is delusional, it seems that there are still A big snake with the mouth of a bowl was chasing the bear...it was so sudden that the slave couldn't explain it...this is a crime, please punish me severely, master." Qianlong smiled and asked: "Gelong is Bahai's grandson. Chen Shaozu, um, you are the bodyguard of Chen Shiguan's grandson Bujin?" The two knelt down and said yes.Gelong said: "The slaves are really sorry for the emperor and humiliated the ancestors." Qianlong said: "Get up, this kind of thing happened to the ancestors during the northern tour. The current Heilongjiang general Zhang Yuxiang has committed this problem. Later, he worked hard. , regained his eyes, Hualing, you have to learn from him. A man should pay attention to the fact that the mountain collapses before him and his face does not change. Such a trivial matter will make his eyes dazzled. Will there still be snakes as thick as bowls in this northern part of Saibei?" "Yes," Fu Heng said next to him, "there are many hot springs in this place, and the mountains are sheltered from the wind, humidity and heat. Look at the fog, the grass and trees here are different from other places. I have seen thick teacups. The defenders here I’ve seen a big python as thick as a bucket!” Qianlong couldn’t help laughing, and said, “You’ve been coaxed by Naqiu Ba! How dare he doze off while patrolling, so let you check it out? Look at this place——” Before he finished speaking, he stopped suddenly, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.Everyone followed his gaze and saw two crows jumping up and down on a big elm tree about an arrow's distance away from the mouth of the valley, croaking in terror, flying up from time to time, and swooping down again, flapping their wings at something, Looking down, there is indeed a giant python coiled on the tree, about the thickness of a human leg, stretching its head and neck to fight those two crows! Qianlong took a closer look and saw a large bird's nest hidden among the branches and leaves on the high branch of the tree. Only then did he realize that the old crow was a crow guarding the nest.Seeing that feathers were flying randomly every time he pounced, hovering in the air for a while and then rushing down, although his tone was mournful, without any hesitation, Qianlong couldn't help being terrified, pointed his fan at the big snake, and said: "Shoot it to death!" !" "tie!" The guards agreed, and immediately fired arrows. Seeing that the snake was hit by more than a dozen arrows, it seemed to be confused by the sudden rain of arrows. The mottled, brocade-like body slipped down and got into the grass, half of the body was still twisting and twisting outside.Hearing Kabal's yell, he rushed in holding the dagger, the rest of the guards seemed to be a little afraid of this evil thing, and they all froze.I only heard the thumping and thumping in the grass, but I didn't know how Kabal was tossing around in it.Fu Heng himself was also afraid of snakes, so he held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, but ordered: "What are you doing standing there? A snake will scare you like this! Come in and help!" Walking in the grass, I saw Kabal was covered in mud. He was holding a dagger in one hand and dragging the dead snake out of the grass in the other. Cure, I will ensure that the master will have a good time!" As he spoke, he threw the snake to the ground with a puff.Qianlong was also afraid of snakes. Seeing the dead snake turning its white belly, he couldn't help feeling sick.But Ji Yun said: "Snake gallbladder is also a good medicine, cut it out and make wine for the master!" Nakabal didn't think it would be dirty, he straightened the snake's body with a dagger in his mouth, scratched it from the neck, and pulled it out bloody from the seven inches. Out of his heart, he tore off the snake gallbladder with one hand, and said: "It's very fishy, ​​Mr. Ji, you are a good doctor, I'll take the 'good medicine' for you, and you can prepare medicinal wine for the master!" Ji Yun accepted it with a smile, twirling his fingers and laughing : "Good thing, there is a bowl of bile!" Carefully wrapped it in paper and stuffed it into Battelle's saddle. "Today's imperial camp is considered to be a victory. I won a fierce bear and killed a giant snake. I have gained a lot!" With lingering surprise, Qianlong laughed and said to Fu Heng: "How can we get this fate if we don't withdraw those guards? Riding with Ji Yun, you will be fined to walk!" As he spoke, he reached out to Battelle for the reins.But Bateer refused to give it to him, saying: "Your Majesty, this horse will have to be tamed for some more days before I dare to ride it for you. It is safe for you to ride the old Qingcong!" Knowing that Qianlong's status was valuable, a thousand times higher than the princes on the grassland, he handed Qianlong the reins and whips of the green horse, but gave the reins of the charcoal horse in the thousands of miles of snow to the guards.He leaned down and let Qianlong step on the horse, but Qianlong stepped on the stirrup and said with a smile: "I only step on eunuchs. You are very brave, and I will choose you as the third-class bodyguard!" Battelle was still in a daze, Kabal patted him on the back of the head lightly, and said: "Silly boy, you have reached the sky in one step! It is not easy for you, the banner battalion leader of Harqin Left Banner, to find this third-class guard!" Only then did Battelle kneel and kowtow like everyone else.Qianlong happily raised his whip and said, "Let's go!" The horse galloped up. Ji Yun followed from behind.He had never ridden such a fast horse before, so he was somewhat unsure about it.Qianlong was very familiar with driving, chatting with the gallop, and asked: "Xiaolan, how is this horse?" "Too, too fast, I can't handle it!" "Relax, take advantage of the momentum, don't be stiff." "yes……" "It's much better. After all, it can't compare to the master, it's better to ride slowly." "Fast riding is better than horse riding, and slow riding is worse than riding a donkey." Qianlong said, "Going fast, everything is empty, cleanse your mind and see how big the world is, and how small the world is. This is the real secret to control!" Ji Yun had no time to think about Qianlong's words, but gradually got used to this lightning-fast running. For the first time, he felt that "speed" had such a refreshing effect.As he was riding, Qianlong pointed to the left front with his whip, and said, "What a group of yellow sheep, look, they are running towards the forest!" Because there was a bow and arrow pot inserted in the horse harness, he whipped and took out the bow and arrow at the same time.The left hand is like Mount Totai, and the right hand is like holding a baby, aiming at "bao" and shooting out.A little yellow sheep got an arrow on its rump, rolled on the ground, got up again and screamed "baa", and caught up with the ewe in pain.Only then did Ji Yun catch up with the whip, panting and said: "Master, don't, don't go into the forest, beware of any more beasts!" Qianlong smiled and said: "Nonsense, a rotten scholar!" Chased in. Ji Yun hurriedly followed into the forest.This small forest is full of barren ditches and weeds, and several winding streams pass through the forest.Ji Yun is not good at equestrian skills, seeing Qianlong turning left and right to control the horse, he couldn't do it in a hurry.After finally rushing to the bottom of the cliff, he caught up with Qianlong.There were two gazelles not far in front, and Ji Yun shouted: "Master! There are two!" Qianlong whipped his horse forward, and was about to release the arrow with his bow, when he suddenly dropped the bow and took the rein.Unable to hold back the reins suddenly, Qianlong was thrown off the horse and thrown into the stream all at once!Ji Yun was so frightened that he jumped out of his body, his head swelled up with a "buzz", and his face was as white as death. He rode his horse and saw that Qianlong had stood up, so he let go of his heart.In a hurry, he thought again: The emperor is in such a mess, how can I save his face if I go out in a good manner, and how can I explain to everyone?Thinking about it, he turned his head, yelled "Ouch", lost control of his body and fell off the horse, just fell on a dirt ridge, and his butt hurt so badly.But this is something that doesn't hurt inside.He rolled on the slope again, rolled into the mud under the ridge, scribbled on his hands and feet, screamed in his mouth, and dressed himself like a mud monkey in an instant.Qianlong was full of annoyance, seeing that Ji Yun fell heavier than himself, he calmed down, and pulled Ji Yun out of the forest together.You see me as the drowned chicken emperor, and I see you as the military plane of the rolling pig, so I can't help but look at each other and laugh. That night Ji Yun went in again according to the order.Qianlong was talking with Liu Tongxun and You Mingtang in the Yanxun Mountain Hall.When Ji Yun stepped into the gate of the palace, he heard Qianlong say: "What you two said is good words of gold and stone, I should pay attention to them. From tomorrow onwards, a battalion of soldiers will be sent in to guard against them. This is not about Fu Lao Liu's business. I have to obey... I respect your thoughts and accept your kind words. Tonight I asked Ji Yun to draw up some edicts. You will go to Beijing tomorrow and bring them to Zhang Tingyu, and tell him to use the yellow box to send you a quick release. Qin, Yin Jishan and Yue Zhongqi...Yanqing still has to go to Nanjing, don't be too busy, rest in Beijing for a few days before leaving. Write a memorial to me before departure, and report a safe letter when you arrive in Nanjing. That's it, you kneel down!" After finishing speaking, he got up and sent the two of them outside the hall, and then returned to the gate of the hall.Qianlong was naughty like a big boy, he stuck out his tongue and made a grimace as soon as he entered the door, and said with a smile: "The two old men are making noise again, even you were swept in!" "Master," Ji Yun asked while rolling his sleeves and rubbing ink: "You are riding a horse so well, why did you suddenly take the reins back? I am so scared that my legs are still weak now!" Qianlong didn't answer right away, but looked at the candlelight for a long time before saying quietly: "I saw the old female gazelle licking the blood from the young gazelle, and suddenly I couldn't bear to shoot them again." Ji Yun didn't speak any more, but the ink in his hands was wearing away faster and faster.
