However, those who came back first were the children who were hunting outside. If Kangxi compared his performance with them, even if he won, he might not look very proud.
As time went by, the Mongolian tribes, the princes, and even the sons of nobles whom Kangxi wanted to test all returned to the camp.
When the logistics team had piled up all the prey, Kangxi sat on the platform, looked at the unique bear in the center, and smiled with satisfaction.
Apart from his own share, his primary concern was Yinreng's prey.
Yinreng did not disappoint him.
Yinreng hunted two musk deer, three roe deer, three yellow sheep, and several pheasants and hares.
Except for not killing any large beasts, this record is pretty good.
But Yinzhi gave him a surprise.
Yinzhi killed two elks and several wild boars. The remaining pile, when Kangxi took a closer look, turned out to be wild wolves.
Good job.
There must be at least a dozen of these fat and strong wild wolves.
Kangxi frowned. Wild wolves are social animals and are not easy to deal with.
No one knows how Yinzhi encountered the pack of wild wolves.
Yinreng also saw the wolves piled together and said to Yinzhi in surprise,
"You encountered a pack of wild wolves? Is that all?"
Yinzhi raised his chin.
"I met them at Qifeng Mountain. Those wolf cubs thought I was easy to bully, but after a round of gunfire, they were so scared that they didn't dare to come forward. It was a pity. If they had run slower, I could have killed a few more."
He used a recurve bow, but the guards around him were equipped with repeating muskets.
Only a dozen or so were killed in one round of shooting, which is actually not a very good record.
But given the situation at the time, there was no time to reload their ammunition.
If the wolves were smart and vicious enough, it would be hard to say who would win.
In fact, Yinzhi was still a little scared.
But no matter how scared I am, I can't lose the battle with my words.
"You're so brave! You actually dared to go to Qifeng Mountain!"
Qifeng Mountain is the most dangerous mountain in this enclosure. The vegetation inside is dense and horses cannot climb up at all. They have to rely on their two legs to go up the mountain.
Yinzhi smiled disdainfully.
"Why not? I don't care about those rabbits and pheasants outside."
Yinreng rolled his eyes.
"Chengchengcheng, you can't stand it!"
This boss, even after being praised a few times, he still pretends to be nice.
Each Mongolian tribe also had teams that had good gains, but even if we don’t compare them with Kangxi, they could not compare with Yinzhi’s gains.
This made Yinzhi so popular that his mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head.
The worst among the princes are Yinzhen and Yinzhen, who are just there to make up the numbers.
There's nothing much to say.
Apart from him, the other two members of the team were Yinzhen and Yinsi.
Apart from a silly roe deer and a white fox that were somewhat acceptable to the two men, the rest were just chickens and rabbits.
Yinreng felt dizzy at the sight.
"The rumor that King Sejong's bow had four and a half times the force of the sword is completely true."
"This guy was so tough when handling cases, why is he so weak now?"
Kangxi couldn't help but glance at Yinreng, then looked at Yinzhen and Yinsi's prey, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
He was quite satisfied with Yinzhen's academic performance. After all, he was diligent enough and his attitude was upright and humble enough.
But when it comes to archery, horse riding and shooting, Yinzhen is indeed far inferior to his brothers.
Even if Yin You tried his best, his horse archery could be easily surpassed——
I don’t know who I inherited this from.
Kangxi looked away and stopped making things difficult for himself.
Because of the prey, Yinzhen and Yinsi were frequently stared at. The two half-grown boys could not stand this and soon their faces turned red with shame.
Seeing this, Yinreng wanted to go over and offer some comfort, but he heard Yinzhen apologizing to Yinsi.
"I'm sorry, Eighth Brother. It's Fourth Brother who has implicated you."
Although Yinsi felt a little uncomfortable, he was still clear-headed. He waved his hand and said,
"What happened today is not my fault, Fourth Brother. If anyone is to blame, it's Longkodo. If he hadn't blocked your way, we wouldn't have wasted so much time. And later, my younger brother also spent a lot of time on that white fox..."
Yinreng frowned when he heard this.
"Longkodo blocked Yinzhen's way? What's going on?"
Yinreng thought to himself that it seemed he had to find some time to have a good talk with Yinzhen today.
The Longkodo in his memory was not a good person at all.
Now that Yinzhen and Longkodo meet, Yinzhen will be the one who suffers no matter what.
He has to ask clearly.
The two princes also noticed Yinreng at this time, and they began to chat.
In a corner that Yinreng didn't notice, Kangxi couldn't help but observe Longkodo and Yinzhen.
Soon, all the prey were counted.
The casualties were also counted.
Hunting is a game with animals, so it's naturally not going to be smooth sailing, but fortunately the prey we encountered today were not very ferocious.
Except for a few unlucky people who died from being bitten by poisonous snakes, the rest of the people who were injured only had superficial abrasions.
Kangxi ordered the kitchen to clean up some of the prey so that they could have barbecue and drink kumis tonight.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he went back to his bedroom to wash and change his clothes.
The rest of the people also dispersed.
Yinreng originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Yinzhen, but after smelling the sweat on his body, he decided to talk about it in the evening when he had the chance.
By the time Yinreng finished washing up and arrived at the banquet venue, it was already dark outside.
There are nine princes in total, five of them have come including him, and the remaining four are probably on their way.
The official time of the banquet had already been communicated to the eunuchs serving the masters.
So except for Kangxi, there is no problem of being late for others.
Unless you don't want to mix it anymore.
After the princes and a group of princes and nobles arrived, after a while, Kangxi, wearing casual clothes, sat on the main seat.
Kangxi's arrival seemed to have turned on some kind of switch. The fragrant barbecue was brought out from the kitchen, divided into large pieces, and placed on the small table in front of each master.
Of course, the guards were there too, but they were outside the hall, six of them sitting around a table.
The table was covered with brown paper and on it were roasted game, half or whole.
Kangxi raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together, which meant that the banquet had officially begun.
Everyone started to eat with relish.
After all, we went hunting in the mountains today and consumed a lot of energy.
The accompanying chef also brought chili powder, and a small dish was placed on each table for everyone to add according to their taste.
As a result, a few Mongolian idiots poured the wine directly into their mouths without knowing what it was. Naturally, their throats were burning, and they drank a whole pot of kumis to suppress it. They were almost full before they even started eating the barbecue.
Seeing this, some Mongolians thought it was poison.
It was not until the young eunuch serving nearby helped demonstrate the correct way to eat it that everyone suddenly understood.
