When the irritable Prince Zhaojun returned to the palace with his troublesome younger brothers, he happened to meet his eldest brother who was always in a bad mood at the door. When Yinzuo saw Yinzhi riding a horse, carrying a bow, and accompanied by a number of guards, he knew that they were also going into the woods to hunt, so he immediately kicked his horse's belly and rushed to meet them!
"Brother, are you going hunting in the woods? Can you take me along? I just went out with the ninth and tenth brothers and it was really frustrating. Apart from a few pheasants and rabbits, we didn't even see any decent prey."
Yinzhen, Yin?, Shisi and the other thirteen were lying not far behind Yinzuo. They could naturally hear what he had just said to Yinzhi. Although they were still angry but dared not say anything about Yinzuo's remarks, at this moment the three of them had the same thoughts.
Bah, shameless, you still feel aggrieved. How can you feel aggrieved? We are the ones who feel aggrieved.
After hearing what Yinzuo said, Yinzhi glanced at their horses and found that it was just as Yinzuo said. The horses hanging on their horses were either pheasants or hares. The most interesting one was the musk deer on Yinzuo's guard horse.
"It's no problem for me to take you with me, but the forest we're going to this time is quite deep, so we might have to spend the night there. Is that okay with you?"
What's the problem with this? At worst, we can just think of it as a picnic in the forest. Yinzuo felt that as long as he could get rid of this troublesome Fourteenth, it would not be a problem for him to sleep in the woods alone for a night.
"Don't worry, big brother. Since I'm going with you, I won't hold you back. You just might have to wait for me. I'll go back to my room to get some things and be back soon. Nine, Ten, take Fourteen back first. The forest is dangerous. If you want to go in, make sure you bring enough people with you. Don't go too deep, otherwise you might not be able to handle it if something happens."
After sending away Yinzhen, Yin?, and Shisi, the three burdens, and getting Yinzhi's nod to promise to wait for him, Yinzuo immediately led his men towards the courtyard where he lived. Yinzhi and his men were actually familiar with the thing Yinzuo wanted to take. It was the bird gun, also known as the chain fire gun, invented by Dai Zi, a genius firearms expert who was not appreciated and was feared by Emperor Kangxi.
Yinzuo had seen a sentence like this on the Internet before, which roughly meant that if Kangxi had not buried this genius out of fear, then those so-called world powers in the late Qing Dynasty would all be trash. After all, Dai Zi was really gifted. He imitated the Portuguese gun in five days and made the mother-and-child cannon in eight days. If it were not for this, the old foreigner Nan Huairen would not have tried every means to frame him.
However, Yinzuo felt that all the previous events were now unimportant. The most important thing was that it was only the 37th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and it was still a long time before Dai Zi's death in the 4th year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign. Whether he could rescue Dai Zi from Shengjing and return to the capital this time depended entirely on the bird gun in his hand.
"Dexi, go to Khan Ama later and tell him that I'm going into the woods with my elder brother to hunt. I might not be back tonight, so I won't be able to have dinner with him. Don't worry about me, as my elder brother is here. Just wait for us to come back and honor him with our prey."
Is Yinzhen still waiting at the gate of the palace? Yinzuo took the musket, briefly explained a few words to Dexi, and then took Akshan, Hatu and other guards to the gate to meet Yinzhen.
"A bird gun? What are you doing with this? It's just a fancy thing, it's not very powerful. It's not as useful as a bow and arrow!"
It is not difficult to hear from Yinzhen's words that he disdains the fire gun. The current fire gun is indeed bulky and not very powerful. It is indeed not as convenient to use it for hunting as a bow and arrow. Yinzuo certainly knows that the bird gun in his hand is just a showpiece. He has never valued its current power. He values the fact that this fire gun can fire continuously.
"Brother, you know I've been injured twice in my shoulder and arm. Although it doesn't seem to hinder my bow and arrows, I'm not as good as before. This bird gun isn't very powerful, but if we really encounter any emergency, it's still better than my four-strength bow and arrows, right?"
Although Yinzhen was very confident in his own fighting ability and felt that Yinzuo would never be hurt under his protection, he did not stop him when he saw that Yinzuo insisted on taking this thing with him.
"Okay, if you want to take it, then go ahead. But if you really encounter danger, even with this bird gun, don't try to be brave with me. Then just hide behind me. I will definitely keep you safe."
Yinzuo naturally believed what Yinzhi said. After all, he could kill an angry tiger with a single arrow from a long distance. His fighting power was stamped by the king of the mountain with his own life.
"Don't worry, big brother. I value my life the most. If I encounter any danger, I will absolutely obey you and will never hold you back or cause you any trouble!"
If Yinzuo bringing Yin'er and the others into the woods just now was called hunting, then following Yinzhi in now was called predatory killing. They didn't even look down on the pheasants and rabbits, and immediately led their men into the depths of the woods, and they walked for almost an hour before their speed slowly slowed down.
"Bayan, take your men and find a suitable place to set up camp nearby. Anmer, take the others and go with me to the front to take a look. Yinzuo, do you plan to stay or follow me?"
Is that even necessary? What was he doing here today? How could he test the rapid-fire capabilities of the musket if he stayed in this camp? He had to follow his elder brother.
"Brother, of course I'm going with you. When we got here, I asked Dexi to tell Khan Ama that I had to hunt some game myself and bring it back as a tribute to him. If I can't come up with something decent, he'll laugh at me to death."
Yinzhen and the guards beside him had all been to the battlefield. People who had crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood naturally had a bloody spirit. Yinzuo and his guards wandered around in the woods in the morning and only hunted some pheasants and rabbits. After wandering around in the woods for half an hour, they were almost unable to carry any more.
"Brother, you are truly amazing. It takes me so much effort to hunt a musk deer. Its skin is as pierced as a sieve. Look at you, brother. Your archery skills are simply unbeatable. You hunted the deer beautifully. You killed it with one arrow to the head..."
How could Yinzhi not understand Yinzuo's little thoughts? It was just that he had his eyes on the deer he had just hunted. But it must be said that Yinzuo's flattery really made Yinzhi feel very comfortable. Naturally, his elder brother would not be stingy in expressing his gratitude to such a talkative younger brother.
"Okay, Xiaoliu, you don't have to try to fool me here. On the way to Rehe, I kept hearing you talk about wanting a deerskin to make boots. So, Brother Deer will give it to you."
OK, deerskin is obtained. Prince Zhao’s already sweet mouth is now even sweeter than before after his wish was fulfilled.
"Big brother is really generous. It's really better to be a younger brother. If I follow big brother, I will never have to worry about going hungry. This is much better than following those brats like the ninth and tenth brothers. I don't want to be the older brother of my younger brothers at all now. I only want to be the younger brother of my older brothers. Big brother, why did I have to be born so early? It would have been much better if I had been born ten or twenty years later."
