After eating eight whole roasted wolves and one whole roasted bear, Ouyang was almost 80% full. There was still one black bear left. If he ate them all, he would have almost reached his energy target for today.

Ouyang didn't have any taboos, but he didn't have a big appetite for the intestines that were full of digestive matter, so except for the intestines, he ate all the parts of the forest wolf and black bear.

During this period, a total of ten wolf packs came here. Eight of them each "contributed" a wolf king to Ouyang, while the remaining two were too alert and may have seen Ouyang's wolf skin hanging on the big banyan tree.

, and immediately fled the scene.

As for the two black bears, it was an unexpected surprise.

The black bear in China is the Asiatic black bear, which is commonly known as the "bear" that is often seen in circuses. It has a V-shaped white mark on its chest. It is not very big, only 1.56 meters tall, and is furry all over.

of.

The danger of hunting a black bear is more than ten times that of a wolf. Both black bears are male black bears. Their thick fur is difficult to penetrate. They are 1.56 meters long but weigh 130 to 40 kilograms. Such a physique

It has terrifying wrist strength and can crush a human skull with one blow. The bite force of a black bear is 5-6 times that of a human being, which is amazing.

If Ouyang were asked to take the initiative to hunt black bears alone, he would be too lazy to do it, and the gains would outweigh the losses. It is far less convenient than hunting forest wolves.

But if the other party collides directly, the situation will be different.

Aiming at a soft place like the mouth is a matter of firing two bone bullets.

Ouyang looked at the sun that had reached the western sky and estimated that it would be dark soon, so he decided to stop working.

He burned all the blood stains on the ground with fire, then buried them with soil to prevent any more predators from being attracted to the place by the smell of blood.

He peeled off the skin of the last bear and hung it on the tree, cut off the bear's paws and wrapped them in banana leaves, took out the bear's bile and put it in a bamboo tube.

Although Jiang Yu was helpful because of Chang Sangjun's token, she couldn't bother her all the time. Bringing her a gift that wouldn't drop in price would be considered a thank you.

Cut the bear meat into small strips to speed up the barbecue. While waiting for the meat to be cooked, he cut down a tree as thick as his neck, found a few vines, and made a simple trailer.

Although this kind of trailer does not have wheels, it can still store items and tow them around, which is relatively convenient.

Being diligent and thrifty is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people. Eight wolf skins and two bears skins, whether they are sold or used to make quilts, cannot be wasted.

As for why he didn't just tie them up and carry them on his back, it was because he didn't want to dirty his fine clothes. Although there was blood all over him when he killed the wolf and bear just now, he still felt that it would be better to just carry these skins on his back.

Dirtier.

After eating the bear meat, Ouyang simply treated a pile of skins with anti-insect and antiseptic treatment, then put them all on the trailer, took four bear paws and a bamboo tube of bear bile, and set off on the way back to Changchun Hospital.

…………………………

While Ouyang was running around for his "Five Zang Temple", Mr. Xiong and his young follower Gongsun Chao rushed all the way to Danyang City.

Danyang here does not refer to Danyang in Jiangsu Province today, but Danyang in Nanyang City, Henan Province, which was also the former capital of the Chu State.

Now, it is the fiefdom of Qu Xie.

Mr. Xiong naturally knew that this was Qu Xie's territory, but as soon as he came, the saying "dark under the lamp" has been around since ancient times. The most dangerous place often becomes the safest place. This concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Secondly, people always have a sense of luck

Reason, hoping that I would not be so unlucky, and really be discovered by such a coincidence.

In fact, Xiongzhong's luck is really not bad at all, it can even be said to be overwhelming.

Before the two of them entered Danyang City, they saw the eunuch Yin Mu from a distance on the official road who was out for fun.

Asking Gongsun to wait beside the farmland, Xiong Zhong cleverly avoided the entourage brought by Yin Mu, and the car approaching Yin Mu called out softly:

"Big Huan?!"

"Young Master?!"

Although Yin Mu is nearly fifty years old, because he has served in the palace all year round, he has excellent eyesight and can recognize the young master he once served at a glance from a distance of more than ten meters.

I was shocked at first, but in the end I quickly calmed down with my excellent psychological quality.

Yinmu glanced at his guards and found that they didn't notice anything unusual, so he thought of a random reason and moved the guards away so that Young Master Zhong could get closer.

"Sir, why are you here?" Yin Mu frowned and tried to lower his body to express his respect, but he couldn't show any strangeness, which seemed quite laborious.

"Xiong Sheng and Qu Xie imprisoned my father together, and I escaped from Yingdu." Xiong Zhong knew that he could not see Yin Mu for too long, so he said concisely,

"Honor, you were serving my father a month ago, and my father also started to ignore the government affairs from then on. You should know something. Can you tell me whether my father is alive or dead now?

?”

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but the things involved are too circuitous and cannot be explained clearly in a few words." Yin Mu dropped a roll of bamboo slips on the ground calmly and said in a low voice,

"This records the king's physical condition a month ago. It was written by the 'Poison Saint' Jiang Linsheng. Young Master can find clues by himself."

"Thank you, sir." Xiong Zhong hooked the bamboo slip with his foot and put it away calmly.

"Did Young Master leave Yingdu alone?" Yinmu suddenly asked.

"No, he came out with Gongsun Chao, the son of Ling Yin Gong Sun Xi." Xiong Zhong didn't pay attention, but replied casually.

"Gongsun Chao..." Yinmu narrowed his eyes and reminded, "Sir, you are now wanted by Yingdu City, and other places should also have received the news. Please be careful... Anyone who comes out of Yingdu City

Don’t even believe it.”

"Anyone from Yingdu?" Xiong Zhong was stunned for a moment, seemed to have heard something, and said seriously: "Big Huan, Gongsun Chao is my best friend, and he is also a loyal empress. I believe he is like

Just trust my hand, please don't let me doubt him."

"Young master, don't be anxious. I don't have any objections to Gongsun Chao." Yinmu lowered his voice a bit to make himself appear more humble, and then said,

"I just hope that the young master will be more careful. For example, if you want to go wherever you want, just let people follow you. Don't talk or discuss. Just make your own decision. Of course, you will bear the consequences alone. This is also the future.

What a mature King of Chu should master is also what a mature King of Chu should do. Do you...understand?"

The future King of Chu? The mature King of Chu?! Take responsibility for your own decisions?!

Xiong Zhong is not yet eighteen years old, which is the size of a high school student. Although he is a bit precocious after being born within the walls of the palace, he still has a young mind. Hearing the eunuch describe himself as "the future King of Chu", he felt in his heart

There was a sudden excitement.

"Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention to it." Xiong Zhong gave a slight salute to the man.

Yin Mu saw that Xiong Zhong had listened to his advice, smiled slightly, nodded, and said nothing more.

.

After the two stopped communicating, Xiong Zhong pretended that nothing happened and left, while Yinmu's guards gradually came back and approached the carriage where Yinmu was.

Although they were a little curious about what Yin Mu and Xiong Zhong said, they would never ask.

After glancing at the bronze sword in Xiong Zhong, he imagined that the other party might be a famous young ranger. Yin Mu suddenly became interested in talents and offered to recruit him, but unfortunately he was rejected.

They probably wouldn't know even if they tried hard, that the "Ranger" who just passed by was actually Mr. Xiong from Chu State.

Yinmu ignored the pity look in the guards' eyes, but looked at Xiong Zhong's slightly immature but broad enough shoulders, and murmured to himself: But after all, he is not your hand. You are only one person from beginning to end.

…

"Xiaowu!" Yinmu waved his hand and called a guard, "Hurry up and go to Yingdu and tell Danyang Duke Qu Xie that Xiong Gongzhong has been to Danyang, but he has not entered the city."

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

"Xiaoqi!" Yinmu waved his hand and called another guard, "Go to Yedi and tell Mr. Ye that Qu Xie and Xiong Sheng rebelled. Don't say anything else."

"As you command!"

…………………………

"Sir, have you seen the eunuch?" Seeing Xiong Zhong returning, Gongsun Chao immediately went up to greet him and asked.

"I saw it." Xiong Zhong suppressed his joy, pretended that nothing happened, and said calmly.

But in Gongsun Chao's eyes, Xiong Zhong's calmness seemed gloomy. He asked cautiously: "Master...isn't it bad?"

"Ah? Why do you think so?" Xiong Zhong felt a little strange.

I haven't said anything yet, how could you know something was not good...

"You look so ugly."

"Ahem..." Seeing his friend say this, Xiong Zhong couldn't hold his face any longer, and said with a normal expression, "No, no, this time it went relatively smoothly. The eunuch still gave some important clues.

"

"What clue is it?" Gongsun Chao asked quickly.

"Yes..." Xiong Zhong paused for a moment, thinking that he wanted to become a mature King of Chu, so he held back the next words and said calmly, "It's a very complicated clue, but I already have some clues.

.”

Gongsun Chao asked a few more times, but when he saw that Xiong Zhong was smiling but not smiling, and refused to say that the old god was there, he stopped asking any more questions.

As a follower, you must position yourself correctly. If you continue to ask questions, you will be overstepping.

So he wisely changed the subject and said: "Sir, Danyang is only a few kilometers away from Yedi. I have always asked Ye Gong Shen Liangxu of Yedi to be good at governing the people, experienced in the battlefield, and loyal to the king. Do we want to go and request him?"

His help."

"We can imagine it. How could Qu Xie and Xiong Sheng not think of it?" Xiong Zhong touched his belly, actually touching the bamboo slips in his arms, and then said,

"To go to Ye Di, you have to enter Danyang City for supplies, which is too dangerous. Ye Gong will know about such a big change in Yingdu sooner or later. If he is really loyal, he will naturally take the initiative to send troops.

If not, then it is useless for us to borrow troops in person, and we are still in danger of being caught by Qu Xie. The primary purpose at the moment is to find out the state of our father, whether he is alive or dead, which will have a great impact on our next actions.

"

"So where do we go next?"
