Chapter 473 Hunting
But Zhao Zhen found out about this place and was naturally unwilling to give up.
After discussing with everyone, we decided to go and investigate.
On the second day, Zhao Zhen took Bao Xu, Yan Shude and more than ten good players, all pretending to be hunters, and entered Gaoping Mountain. Without saying anything on the road, the group of people went straight to this place.
Everyone walked for two hours and was feeling sleepy. Yan Shude pointed to the front and said: "Ms. sir, there is a village there."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen looked up and looked far away. Behind the woods in the distance, there was a slight smoke.
Zhao Zhen said: "One more journey, go to the front to ask for some hot soup to eat with."
After passing the woods, I saw only a small mountain village. Judging from the size, there were seventy or eighty households. First, there was a half-sized manor house with dozens of raftered and tiled houses. There were also some garden pavilions inside, but there was a clear stream in front of the door.
Standing at the head of the eight-character door is a woman in her fifties, with clear clothes and a decent demeanor. She is supporting a little maid and looking around at the head of the door. When the woman saw their group, she helped the little girl take a few steps closer and asked: "Where are you from? You are not like the local hunters."
Zhao Zhen asked: "How do you know about me, madam? Are you not from this department?”
The woman said: "There are no hunters here who don't know my family. You wait for me to meet you, but I have never seen it. But come here for this brocade-patterned one-horned leopard in the mountains?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and said : "I heard that a heterogeneous leopard appeared here, and I thought that if I hunted it, I could sell it for a big price. Madam. I have heard of this beast, but do you know the traces of this beast?"
The woman shook her head: "I just heard it from my son."
" Judging from my wife's conversation and attire, she doesn't look like an ordinary farmer. May I ask where your wife is from?" Zhao Zhen asked.
The old woman said: "My late husband, Tang Tianzhu, was also a brave general. He made many achievements in the side courts. Later, he was appointed the commander of Longma Camp. He died of illness while in office. Because my late husband was upright, he offended many people. Since then, he has After his death, he had no choice but to move away from Longma Camp with his dog. When he passed by this place, he saw the beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, so he decided to build a house here. "
"So that's it. Madam is also a member of the official family. I wonder if the office is here?"
"I've gone into the mountains to hunt now. Well, I'll be here soon."
Zhao Zhen followed the old woman's directions. From a distance, I saw a strong man wearing leopard skin trousers and a tiger skin suit. He was carrying a five-pronged fork with a green grass wolf on it. Followed by more than a dozen bankers, holding some hunting equipment and carrying some insects and ants, they all came forward.
"Mother, why did you go out in cold weather?"
The old woman scolded: "I won't go out any day." Then, she pointed at Zhao Zhen and his group and said: " This group of people are here to inquire about the one-horned leopard. You tell them to get rid of this beast as soon as possible. People in the villages in the province will be afraid every day.”
The big man handed the fork to the banker, stepped forward and sang a song, and asked: "Little man Tang Meng, where are you from?"
Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Bao Xu suddenly asked: "Strong man Do you know Fan Chenglong?"
Tang Meng hesitated for a moment and asked: "Yizhou Is it Fan Chenglong?"
Bao Xu nodded and said, "He is now the commander of the army in Feixian County, Yizhou, and he is my colleague."
The old woman said: "So. I am an old friend, please go to the village to rest.”
Everyone went to sit down in the village, exchanged names, and met again. Before Tang Meng and his son could speak, Zhao Zhen asked Bao Xu: "Brother, how do you know that Brother Tang Meng knows Fan Chenglong?"
Bao Xudao : "My lord, brother Fan Chenglong and I also had a drink, and we talked about some interesting things at the table. Brother Fan Chenglong once said that in the old years, his family used to run a mule and horse business, and many times he was looked down upon by Tang Tianzhu, the magistrate of Longmaying Village. .”
"He once saw Xiaoyanei uprooting an apricot tree as thick as a bowl in the garden. Just now he heard the old woman talking about Longma Camp, and he saw brother Tang Meng picking on a green wolf, as if it were nothing. He remembered it from this .”
< br>Zhao Zhen said: "I never thought that there is such a connection."
After hearing this, the old lady said, "We never thought that my husband would also come to hunt the one-horned leopard."
Zhao Zhen said: "To be honest with you, Madam, I heard that there is a ginseng fairy in the mountains. I heard about the one-horned leopard later." Horned leopard also It was discovered recently. Pu Hong, who came to cause trouble, wanted to hunt it and invited me to go with him. My younger brother didn't like him as Gao Yanei's guard, so he declined. If my husband wanted to hunt, I would help him wholeheartedly. ”
< br>The old lady also said: "My lord, this child of mine has great powers since he was a child and has also learned good martial arts. He just refuses to study and likes to hunt all over the mountains. If my lord doesn't give up, let this kid follow my lord out of the mountains."
< br>Tang Meng said: "Mom, how can I leave you alone on the mountain?"
The old lady scolded: "Now that you are married, what can you do if you wander around the mountain all day long?"

Zhao Zhen said: "After all, it is inconvenient for the old lady to be here. Moreover, if we hunt this one-horned leopard, I am afraid that Gao Yanei of Xingren Mansion will not give up. If we stay here, I am afraid that there will be some difficulties. It is better for the old lady to clean up. He has gained family wealth and is equal to me. Return to Liangshan. If brother Tang Meng has the ability, he must be the commander of the first battalion." The old lady was overjoyed after hearing this: "My son, why don't you practice martial arts for me to see." Tang Meng listened. , and stood up quickly. Take out a strange weapon from the house.
Zhao Zhen saw it and said: "Brother, this weapon is rare."
Tang Meng said: "My lord, I am impatient to ride on horseback, and I like to fight on foot the most. slope, chase I can drive wild beasts back and forth like flying. I have learned martial arts on foot. Please see my weapon. It weighs sixty-five kilograms. It is called Yanyue Tongliu. This weapon is the most powerful for fighting on foot. Not in. ”
Let's talk, Tang Meng moved his hands and danced once in the courtyard, crossing his shoulders and covering the roof, and performed the dance skillfully.
Zhao Zhen and others watched and cheered.
On that day, the old lady held a banquet and entertained Zhao Zhen and his party at home.
On the second day, after cleaning up, Tang Meng took three or five hunters from his village, took Zhao Zhen and others for a look along the gravel slope. Along the way, Tang Meng talked in detail about this place and his experience in hunting the one-horned leopard these days.
As expected, this one-horned leopard is mostly active at night. Everyone returned to Tangmeng Village and rested for half a day.
At night, Zhao Zhen and several sergeants led by Yan Shude were left to guard. Tang Meng and Bao Xu took the hunters on the village and led a yellow ox up the mountain. Driving into the canyon, everyone waited in ambush at the downwind.
At the third watch, I heard a cow braying in the valley, and then it became quiet. Tang Meng, holding a steel fork, took the lead and ran towards the cow braying place.
I saw a one-horned leopard biting the chest and abdomen of an ox. Hearing the noise, he put down the ox in his mouth and stood up.

A leopard that was two feet long glanced at Tang Meng who was frozen there, and suddenly pounced on Tang Meng. In an instant, when he was about to pounce in front of him, Tang Meng shouted loudly and threw the iron fork in his hand towards the one-horned leopard.
The one-horned leopard dodged to the side, and then pounced forward with a slightly slower momentum. His two front paws were placed on Tang Meng's shoulders, and he opened his mouth to bite. Tang Meng rushed towards the leopard's chest and abdomen.
The leopard's two front paws just happened to hang on Tang Meng's back. Tang Meng's two iron arms penetrated from under the leopard's flanks and grabbed the leopard's spine with all his strength. He retracted his legs and clamped the leopard's waist. Tang Meng used all his strength to hold it close to his chest, hiding under the leopard and not daring to let go.
The leopard opened its big mouth stained with cow blood to bite, but for a moment it couldn't reach it. It scratched with its limbs and claws, but it couldn't shake off Tang Meng from under his chest and abdomen.
It’s a long story, but it only happened in a moment.
When Bao Xu and others followed closely, the leopard was lying on its side and opened its mouth to reach Tang Meng under Tang Meng's strong grasp.
When Bao Xu saw it, he didn't dare to hesitate. He picked up the broad knife in his hand and slapped the one-horned leopard on the head with the back of the knife. The leopard received a strong slap and roared. Before it could struggle, Bao Xu struck him with two more blows. The leopard's eyes suddenly bulged out, its limbs twitched, and it seemed like it was dead.
Tang Meng gasped and struggled out from under the leopard. A group of hunters quickly stepped forward and pulled Tang Meng out.
Bao Xu was afraid that the leopard would not die, so he slapped it twice more, and then he took a big breath.
Then he turned around to see Tang Meng, only to see Tang Meng languid on the ground. Indeed, for a moment, he had exhausted all his strength and his hands and feet were weak.
When Bao Xu saw it, he took something out of his arms and stuffed it into Tang Meng's mouth.
As soon as Tang Meng ate it, he felt his strength gradually increasing, and asked: "Brother, what are you eating?"
Bao Xu said: "Han Emperor's dried apricots, this is a gift from your husband. It can bring you strength. I I have three or five pills with me just in case of emergencies. After returning to Liangshan in a few days, the high officials will naturally give it to me. "Brother, are you injured?"
Tang Meng said: "It's just a scratch, it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Tang Meng has regained his strength. Only then did Bao Xu take stock of the one-horned leopard at his feet.
Tang Meng also stood up and stepped forward, asking a group of hunters to tie up the leopard and carry it down the mountain together with the killed ox.
Before dawn, everyone rushed back to the manor. Amidst the noise, Zhao Zhen stood up to take a look. I saw a two-foot-long one-horned leopard sitting in a pile in the courtyard.

Yan Shude said: "Ms. sir, since we have hunted this one-horned leopard, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will rush back to Fan County at dawn."
