Royal Road - Chapter 144

[Chapter 143 | City]

With such an exciting discovery, how could Liang Feng let it go?

Two craftsmen, Taofang and Tiefang, were immediately recruited to study the feasibility of new products.

It was only at this time that Ge Hong understood why the porcelain pieces he took out were so highly valued by the government.

But fortunately, in his bones, he is not the kind of person who was born in the mountains, but he will do his best for anything that can help the world and the people.

And these days when he came to Liangfu, he really saw how Liangfujun was a person who cherished the people and calmed down the chaos and ruled the world.

If all the nobles and nobles are like the man in front of him, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?

With such thoughts in mind, Ge Hong stayed at the pottery workshop with peace of mind, helping Jiang Jiangtou deal with the problems encountered when firing porcelain and glaze.

One is an expert in alchemy with excellent theory, and the other is an experienced kiln burner. The two hit it off and put their ideas into the test one by one.

While Liu Jian helped Ding Jiangtou build the blast furnace, he was also very busy.

In this way, time flies fast.

Liang Feng also ran on both sides for a few days, and it was not until La Day came that he packed up his mind and concentrated on preparing for this annual big festival.

Early that morning, after using the morning meal, Liang Feng took his son on a horse and went to the outer courtyard.

This time waiting for them, not just thirty cavalry, but three hundred cavalry!

The man at the head was standing in front of a gray horse, tall and broad-shouldered, with a back like a javelin.

Seeing the figures of Liang Feng and his son, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: “My lord, the cavalry team is ready!” The

horse is a steed, and the man is the pick.

Looking at Yi Yan and the three hundred iron cavalry behind him, Liang Feng nodded with satisfaction: “Today’s winter hunting, all the lords should return with a full load!

” The head of Liang’s mansion was in the center.

The group of people marched forward in a mighty manner towards the hunting ground.

This year, the area of arable land around Liang Mansion has been greatly expanded, and the hunting ground has already been changed to a barren jungle farther away.

Same as last year, the knights rushed into the woods with their hounds, either driving or besieging, driving the prey out of the den and into the wilderness.

The number of people has increased several times, and the skills of the hunters have also improved greatly. The cooperation of advancing and retreating is naturally more pleasing to the eye.

What’s even more rare is that Yi Yan always rides his horse and stays by Liang Feng’s side.

It can be seen that these 300 people have already been trained well, and the small schools below are also familiar with the army formation, so there is no need for Yiyan to issue orders in person.

On the contrary, this made Liang Feng more happy than Yi Yan’s directing.

The north wind whistled, the banners were hunting and rattling overhead; the deer chirped and the dogs barked, and the prey was killed by the swords and arrows of the soldiers.

This scene is not benevolent, but it contains a strange impact, which makes people unable to help their blood boil.

Seeing that a group of rabbits were driven out, they fled in a panic, and almost ran into the horse team on their side. Liang Feng couldn’t help it, and said, “Bring a bow!”

A bow was handed to him.

Liang Feng had practiced archery.

“Archery” is one of the six arts. Even if it can be replaced by throwing a pot, archery is a skill that the general nobility needs to master.

Not to mention, Liang Feng himself is quite fond of shooting sports.

Now that I don’t have a pistol, of course I’m interested in archery.

It’s just that the body has been weak, and there are not many opportunities to practice.

After getting the bow, he stretched out his hand to try it, and he knew that the strength of the bow was similar to that of the usual practice.

Apparently it was specially prepared for him by Yi Yan.

Liang Feng snorted and pulled the bowstring with force.

With the arrow and the string, he was not in a hurry to release the arrow, but held his breath and aimed at the group of running hares in front of him.

Take a deep breath and a shallow breath, tighten your waist and back, and point the tip of the arrow to the prey you want to aim at, in line with the sight.

Seeing that his father was about to go hunting, Liang Rong couldn’t help but grabbed the horse’s mane with his small hands, and didn’t dare to move, for fear of affecting the opponent’s head.

The guards beside Liang Feng all held their breaths and stared at the prey.

Only Yiyan looked straight at the back of Liang Feng’s bow, as if there was an accident, he would rush forward.

After several breaths, with a bang, the bowstring loosened, and the arrow shot out!

“Hit!” It was Liang Rong who called out first.

Watching a black rabbit fall under the arrow feathers, he screamed excitedly.

Yi Yan also let out a sigh of relief and said loudly, “Master is mighty!”

His voice was loud, and the soldiers around him also shouted: “The majesty of the lord! The majesty of the lord!”

More than a hundred people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the world.

Someone rushed over to carry the rabbit and sent it back to Liang Feng.

Seeing the poor rabbit that was still struggling, Liang Feng couldn’t help but take a chance.

This arrow, he actually aimed at the larger back of the target, but it hit the back leg.

Thanks to the timely response of his subordinates, it is possible for this guy to turn over and escape again.

Yi Yan took the rabbit, tightened his hand, and the little thing kicked its legs.

He tied a rope around the rabbit and tied it to Liang Feng’s saddle.

Liang Rong’s eyes widened, and he pulled on Liang Feng’s sleeve and said, “Father shoots well! Rong’er also learns to shoot and hunt!” He

handed the bow to Yi Yan, and quietly moved his sore arm. Liang Fengcai said calmly: “Rong’er is so diligent, he will definitely be able to hunt hares next year.”

Liang Rong has also started to learn six arts recently, and it seems that he needs to exercise himself, so that it is better not to be caught up by the children.

Lifting his head with a smile, Liang Feng said to Yi Yan, “If Bo Yuan is free to teach, it will be even better.”

These few months are the busiest time for expanding the army and training new recruits, so both Liang Rong and he are very busy. It is archery practiced by others.

If you change an instructor, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Yi Yan pursed his thin lips slightly, and said solemnly, “Subordinates should do their best.”

No one noticed his momentary hesitation.

With the power of this arrow, the soldiers in the field hunting were even more excited.

Not to mention deer, elk, lynx, fox, pheasant, etc., two fat wild boars were even hunted.

It’s a pity that we haven’t encountered such beasts as tigers and leopards.

Soon, the time came, and a team of people returned with a full load and returned to the Liang residence.

After washing and changing clothes, Liang Feng took his son to the family temple to worship the ancestors.

This year, whether it is the increase of the number of households or the appointment of the prefect, it is quite worthy of comfort to the ancestors, so the sacrifices are also more solemn.

After completing the dedication of the family temple according to the agenda, Liang Feng did not hold the Nuo ceremony in the side courtyard, but took his son to the military camp together.

After entering the camp, under the leadership of Yi Yan, Liang Feng stepped onto the high platform of the school ground and looked down.

At this moment in the barracks, war drums have been erected, and the empty field has been surrounded.

The three hundred soldiers were all dressed in dark clothes and red robes, with ghost faces on their heads and furs of various colors.

It’s like a group of monsters that drink blood, with shields and spears, and their murderous intentions are fierce.

This is the main soldier of the Liang Mansion, and the protagonist of today’s big Nuo.

Instead of using Fang Xiangshi to preside over the Nuo ceremony as last year, Liang Feng chose the military Nuo.

That is to use the sergeant to pretend to be a ghost, fight against the dance, and ward off evil spirits.

Liang Mansion is different from other high gates. All the main soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and side soldiers together make Liang Mansion mostly young and strong.

What else can be more inspiring than such a military Nuo?

“Beat the drum!”

Following the order, Yi Yan strode up to the snare drum on the stage, spread his hips and sunk his waist, and slammed the drumstick in his hand on the leather drum surface.

A muffled sound followed, like the thunder of winter.

Liang Feng, dressed in a very solemn and profound style, took a step forward and said loudly, “Er Nai leads the age of Nuo to expel Qun Li!”

This is the opening remarks of the Nuo ceremony, and it is also a sign of the sacrificers dancing.

Accompanied by the deafening drums, the three hundred soldiers raised their weapons, shouted “Nuo, Nuo”, and started the battle.

Although it was just a ceremonial battle, the spears were shining, the shields were rattling, and everyone was dressed up, like a real ghost battle.

The sound of the drums is intertwined with the roar, which is even more captivating.

This is not the ceremonial Nuo dance of the prefect’s mansion, but the real battle in the army, with murderous intentions, with courage, with Weihe who can make all ghosts and gods evade all evil!

Liang Rong had never seen such a scene before, so he stepped forward and leaned against Liang Feng.

Liang Feng put his hand around his shoulder and patted him comfortingly: “This is to exorcise trouble, Rong’er should not be afraid.” The

drum sound was in his ears, and even the words of comfort were drowned out.

However, his father’s big hand was placed on his shoulder, and when he looked at the frantic ghosts under the stage, Liang Rong only felt that his fear and fear were washed away, and only his father’s tall figure stood in front of him.

Grabbing the hem of Liang Feng’s clothes, the little guy gritted his teeth and imitated his father’s, straightening his back and standing proudly on the stage.

Roars, competitions, bonfires are lit.

In a long sound of horns, twelve knights rushed up on their horses, took the torches in the hands of the Nuo man, and galloped towards the gate of the village.

This is the last step of the Nuo ceremony, sending fire to exorcise evil spirits.

As long as these knights ride their horses to the nearest river and throw their torches into the water, all evil will be dissipated.

The sound of the drums stopped, Liang Feng took a step forward, and his sleeves twitched: “With divine soldiers guarding my mansion, I will ward off disasters!

Be rewarded!”

moved up.

This is a big banquet that has been arranged for a long time, but this time, instead of giving food to each family, it is set up as a running water table for all soldiers to eat.

There were cheers from the crowd, and more and more soldiers shouted for the lord and the lord, like boiling water, splashing surging emotions.

Three small cases were also placed on the high platform.

Liang Rong was in the east, Yiyan was in the west, and they took their seats under Liang Feng respectively.

After everyone was seated, Liang Feng raised the wine glass on the table and said loudly: “All the lords are the humerus of Liang’s house. I can live in peace this year, and I hope it will be the same in the next year!”

“It will be the same in the next year!” should be reconciled.

This is the Buddha’s son who accepted them into the palace, and it is the savior who gave them a new life and allowed them to regain Antai.

Who would have thought that on such a day, one would be able to receive the praise of the lord and the respect of this glass of wine?

All raised the wooden bowls in their hands high, and loudly responded to their benefactor, the only master to whom they were loyal with all their hearts.

In this thunderous shout, Liang Feng raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

This is simply more irresistible than any word of persuasion!

Whether they could drink it or not, everyone drank the turbid wine in the bowl and let the spicy sweetness pass through their throats.

Seeing this scene, Liang Feng laughed and raised the chopsticks in his hand: “Don’t be restrained, let’s have a banquet.”

On every table were waxed horse meat, smoked game, and thick, sweet mixed porridge.

The lord, who looked like a god, shared this meal with them on the stage.

This is more intoxicating than a glass of fine wine!

I have been training for an unknown time, and I worry every day that I will enter the battlefield one day, but at this moment, who still remembers this in their hearts?

But there is only one sentence, this life is worth it!

Different from the frenzy in the audience, Yi Yan raised the glass and slowly drank the contents of the glass.

The wine was not sweet, only full of bitterness.

Last year, charcoal stove Xiaoding, he sat opposite the man, eating ingenious and unforgettable delicacies.

But now, there are thousands of soldiers in the audience, sharing this meal with him.

Is he close?

Or is it going too far?

Looking at Liang Rong, who happily began to whisper with his father, Yi Yan poured himself a glass of wine again.

Spicy into the throat, like swallowing charcoal, but the sweat left by drumming slowly turns cold in the cold wind and pierces straight to the bone.
