Chapter 33 Autumn Hunting Begins
The Fulong Mountains are one of the most famous mountain ranges in the northern part of the Chu Dynasty.
Qianxia Ridge is the peripheral area of the Fulong Mountains, including more than a dozen peaks and woodlands, and is located in the southwest of Cangshui County.
Every year in late autumn, the local government organizes martial arts practitioners to go on a big hunt in Qianxia Ridge, which lasts for three days and three nights.
Each martial arts school can send up to fifty people to participate.
People in the Heaven Ladder realm are not allowed to directly participate in the hunt. They can only accompany the county magistrate and stay temporarily in Qianxia Villa to wait for the result of the hunt.
The magistrate of Cangshui County, Gao Wenzhong, had already led the Yamen police officers to Qianxia Villa on September 15th.
Under the Chu Dynasty, the number of police officers in each county was not fixed.
Cangshui County is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the nearby counties, and has the largest number of arrests.
There are two hundred catchers who are responsible for dealing with large groups of bandits and collecting taxes, and two hundred quick hands who are responsible for patrolling various places, transporting documents to and from, escorting prisoners, etc.
These four hundred people are collectively called police officers, but their powers are often overlapping. As long as the superior officer orders, one of them can take over the power of the other at any time, so the common people are not clear about their division. .
However, the 200 captives that County Magistrate Gao has brought to Qianxia Ridge every year are the same.
They are generally more capable and have better skills, so that they can maintain the rules of autumn hunting and prevent variables.
On the afternoon of September 15th, everyone participating in the hunting from each martial arts school should gather and submit the list of those participating in this year's autumn hunt.
Everyone stays here for one night and waits until the morning of September 16th for the autumn hunting to officially begin.
Songhe Martial Arts School followed the crowd in previous years, but this year they came earlier on purpose, trying to avoid meeting people from other schools.
Unexpectedly, they came just after lunch and met people from another martial arts school at the entrance of Qianxia Villa.
The group of people all wore long robes with wide sleeves and high crowns and belts. They were riding on horses. Colorful ribbons were even mixed into the horse's mane, fluttering in the wind.
For those who didn’t know, they thought it was some famous scholar who took the students out for an outing. There was no way they looked like martial arts disciples.
But in Cangshui County, when everyone sees such attire, they will understand that these are people from the Liu Family Martial Arts School.
The old man riding on the white horse at the front is none other than Mr. Liu Si, the owner of the Liu Family Martial Arts School.
"Why did Su Er come so early this year? What a coincidence."
Mr. Liu Si is over seventy years old. He has gray hair, but his back is straight and straight, and he is in good spirits.
Su Tieyi glanced at him: "Mr. Liu came here very early. He is still very involved in everything despite his age. It is really admirable."
Mr. Liu Si was smiling, and the people around him were However, his grandnephew Liu Qifeng said: "The horses raised by our Liu family can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred miles at night. It is not surprising that they arrived early. You all can come so fast with only two legs. You are really capable."

Songhe Martial Arts School used to raise a lot of Shenjun's mounts, but they have all been sold one after another in recent years.
They are martial arts practitioners who rely on their own strength, so they did not rent a horse today. They did not expect that even this trivial matter would be caught and ridiculed by them.
Whether people like Liu Jia Martial Arts School really have the knowledge of great Confucian scholars is hard to say, but they have learned some of the essence of the vitriol and meanness of celebrities.
When everyone in the Liu family looked at each other and chuckled, there was a voice among them saying: "Not to mention two legs, there is one who doesn't even have legs."
They were condescending. , clearly saw Su Hanshan sitting in a wheelchair among the people in Songhe Martial Arts Hall.
The people at Songhe Martial Arts School originally wanted to endure it, but when they heard this, everyone showed anger.
Luo Ping was even more impatient. He slammed the iron rod into the ground and shouted, "What did you say?"
Su Tieyi took a step forward with a cold face.
There were about twelve steps between him and Master Liu Si.
At the midpoint of this distance, the soil suddenly exploded, and the moist soil mixed with a large number of grass blades erupted upwards, like a fountain.
"It's just a joke for the younger generation, Su Er, you won't be angry about this kind of thing." Mr. Liu Si's sleeves and robes automatically floated forward for a moment before he spoke again, "I am also very sorry about Hanshan, but it's a done deal. If you can’t catch up, maybe this is your fate.”

He scolded the people behind him, "Why are you laughing, why don't you go and hand in the roster?"
The tone of the scolding was very light, and it was obviously not sincere. Liu Qifeng and others But the man also suppressed his laughter, urged his horse forward, and entered the Qianxia Villa.
Su Tieyi watched these people enter the other courtyard with a cold eye, then looked back at Su Hanshan.
Su Hanshan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes with a calm expression. After a moment, he raised his head and smiled at the people around him who cared about him.
"I'm fine, let's go in too."
My classmates don't know that Su Hanshan can stand up yet, but Su Hanshan knows it himself.
He thought that after he recovered, he would no longer easily get angry because others ridiculed him for being disabled.
But when he actually met them, he discovered that some people's faces could really arouse his anger.
Su Hanshan stared deeply at Liu Qifeng's group for a while.
After the people from Songhe Martial Arts School handed in their rosters, they went to the accommodation assigned to them.
Everyone was holding back their energy, and they did not relax for the last half day. They practiced silently in preparation for the battle. After eating the food they brought with them in the evening, they fell asleep individually.
Tomorrow morning, they will see more people from other martial arts schools, and everyone is somewhat prepared.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, when everyone gathered in front of Qianxia Villa, no one openly laughed at him.
The people at Fenglei Martial Arts Hall were a little surprised when they saw Su Hanshan, but they just whispered a few words and didn't say much.
The people in Fei Wang Martial Arts School basically focus on the people in Huang Family Martial Arts School.
The Huang family members also glared back, making the atmosphere between the two families the most tense, leaving little room for caring about others.
The people from the Liu Family Martial Arts School looked gloomy when they saw these three martial arts schools today.
Among all the people, only Huang Qianli turned around and deliberately found an angle to look at Su Hanshan for a moment longer.
"Second brother."
He whispered to Huang Liuhe, "Why is that one here too?"
Huang Liuhe frowned and said: "People are useless, why do you care about him? We The main thing is to be wary of the people from Fei Wang Martial Arts School."
Having said that, Huang Liuhe also looked over there and noticed that there were two crutches next to Su Hanshan's wheelchair.
"It seems that he has practiced the use of the crutches. It is enough to bully some wild wolves. There are only so many people left in Songhe Martial Arts School. This kid has been holding back for another five years and wants to fight for his own martial arts school. A handful is normal.”
"He has been a coward for five years, so I'm used to it. When I saw him suddenly today, it seemed a little strange."
Huang Qianli laughed, leaned close to him, and made a hidden gesture on his waist. The gesture of cutting, "Second brother, isn't there such a saying, which is called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots."
Huang Liuhe said quickly: "䱱Don't mess around. Although Su Chaodong is missing, Su Tieyi is still in trouble. We can't really push him to death at this time."
Huang Qianli said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion. "
While they were whispering, Magistrate Gao had finished speaking.
"...Then, we still adhere to the principle of peace as the most important thing."
Ming Gao County waved his hand, "Each of the five major martial arts schools choose a hilltop and enter Qianxia Ridge. After entering, you can choose freely Path."
"Autumn hunting begins!"
