Chapter 163 The Perverted Murderer

The next day.

In the hunting ground, flags are waving and horns are sounding.

A banner several feet high, with the word "Qi" written in large letters, pierced the blue sky.

The royal nobles and the sons of aristocratic families were all wearing armor, carrying longbows, and riding horses with their heads held high and neighing.

The crowd stood on both sides, their eyes sharp and their spirits high. They looked as if they were waiting for the order to charge into the dense forest and have a good hunt!

At the back of the team, in an inconspicuous corner, Shen Yue let Xiao Yuheng put on the black armor on her with an unwilling look on her face.

"Hengheng, I don't want to wear this. I can't move if I put it on."

"You have to wear it." Xiao Yuheng insisted. "In the hunting ground, arrows have no eyes, and you're having fun, so you won't follow me all the time. If I don't wear it, I won't be at ease."

"But, other guards don't wear these. I'll be laughed at for being special. Also, after wearing this, my chest will bulge out even more, which is ugly."

Xiao Yuheng raised his eyes and said, "How about you not go there and go back to the courtyard to accompany your mother and eat some snacks while waiting for me?"

"...Okay, I'll wear it."

She finally got to the hunting ground and wanted to have some fun.

Xiao Yuheng knew she would say that, so he smiled secretly and fastened the buckle on her body.

After they had dressed her, they mounted their horses and came to the front of the team.

Xiao Ye was wearing a suit of golden armor today, standing on horseback among the crowd, extremely conspicuous.

Seeing the two people coming towards him, he couldn't help but teasing:

"Why did the emperor's uncle only bring one guard? He even put armor on the guard. Could it be that she is made of paper?"

…Shen Yue wanted to curse.

Xiao Yuheng was not angry, "She was given armor to protect herself from revenge."

As for bringing only one guard, it is to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

If there is an emergency, he and A Yue can protect themselves, but his mother, Yongan, Sijin and others cannot. He will not feel at ease if they are not protected by the shadow guards.

"Little man?"

Xiao Ye could naturally tell that this was talking about him, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

If he wants to show off his eloquence, let him do it. Let’s see if he can come back from the forest!

Emperor Qi Yuan rode into the venue lazily.

Everyone quickly dismounted, saluted, and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.

"Well, get up."

Emperor Qi Yuan yawned, and the nine-tasseled black crown on his head shook. It looked like he was about to fall asleep again.

Cen Xi shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please draw your bow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the war drums beat wildly, startling a flock of birds.

Only when he held the golden bow in his hand did Emperor Qi Yuan remember that he was to be the opening guest.

"OK!"

He bent the bow with all his strength, put on the whistle arrow, and then shot it towards the forest with a trembling sound.

Everyone immediately shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Shen Yue couldn't help rolling her eyes.

What a powerful bullshit! I shot it for 30 meters and it didn't even reach the target.

The princes didn’t think so. They looked at their father and admired him very much!

Of course it's also fake.

After all, it is rumored that the crown prince is going to be deposed. At this critical juncture, who wouldn't want to leave a good impression on his father?

Emperor Qi Yuan was very impressed by this. He nodded with satisfaction as he looked at them, and then asked Cao Songyi beside him:

"My dear, don't you have something for them? Why don't you take it out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Songyi dismounted, took the tray handed to him by the palace maid, and distributed several beautifully embroidered sachets to the princes and Xiao Yuheng.

When it was handed to Xiao Ye, he touched her hand calmly, which made her feel embarrassed.

"I present you with a scented sachet. May you all roam the hunting grounds with your arrows never missing their mark!"

"Thank you, Madam!"

After doing all this, Emperor Qi Yuan finally couldn't hold on any longer, "My beloved, I'm a little tired, please help me go back, I need to use some more pills."

Emperor Qi Yuan left in a hurry, and Xiao Ye also rode his horse and led everyone into the mountains.

Shen Yue was not as anxious as they were. She snatched Xiao Yuheng's sachet and looked at it again and again.

"The embroidery on this sachet is very unique and beautiful."

"It tastes too strong. I don't want it. I'll give it to you."

Having said that, Xiao Yuheng was about to ride away.

However, Shen Yue threw the sachet back and said, "Forget it. After all, it was a gift from Concubine Yi. If His Majesty doesn't see this thing on you when you come back from hunting, he will be unhappy."

The maid came over with a tray. "There's an extra sachet here. Why not give it to this young master?"

Shen Yue's eyes lit up and she hurriedly took it, "Thank you, little sister."

Seeing the maid shyly running away, she scratched her head embarrassedly, "I can't help it, I'm just so charming."

The two of them rode into the forest, and soon, Shen Yue started to make a fuss about wanting to separate from Xiao Yuheng.

"How about we have a race, one person walking on each side?"

Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, but we can only be apart for half an hour."

It's been too long and things are likely to change, so he's worried.

"...Okay, then let's see who has more or bigger prey?"

Xiao Yuheng choked and subconsciously looked at the armor on her chest, "Let's compare it. Who can compare to you in size?"

"ha!"

He always wants to drive. Is this still the Xiao Yuheng she knows?

Shen Yue followed suit, glancing meaningfully at his waist and abdomen. "If you say that, I'm afraid Da Hengheng won't agree!"

“…”

The new driver was not as thick-skinned as the old driver, and Xiao Yuheng's face turned red all of a sudden.

Shen Yue took the opportunity to flick the whip and rushed into the forest with a "whoosh".

"See you in half an hour!"

Shen Yue was not very good at archery, so Xiao Yuheng tied a silver sleeve arrow on her wrist in advance. It was light and easy to use, and she liked it very much.

"Swoosh——" a rabbit.

"Swoosh——" a pheasant.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—swoosh, swoosh—”

In a short while, her horse's back was full of prey.

"Wow, that's amazing! In just a quarter of an hour, you've hunted so many small animals."

A group of men in black guard uniforms, holding swords and riding horses surrounded them.

Shen Yue looked closely and found that the person who spoke was actually the guard beside the second prince.

"This old man brought so many people with him, could it be that the Second Prince asked you to steal my rabbit?"

"Second Prince?" the man sneered. "Each prince can only bring ten guards. Look at how many people we have."

Shen Yue took a quick look and saw that there were about forty or fifty people on the other side.

"Someone wants to kill you, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards rushed over like a swarm.

Dozens of long swords formed a silver net, slashing down from all directions.

But then I heard a "pop".

The golden whip in Shen Yue's hand had already opened its black steel barbs, and it suddenly rose up like a dragon breaking through the abyss.

"court death!"

Following a burst of metal collisions, more than a dozen long swords were quickly twisted into silver rain by the domineering airflow wrapped in the whip. The broken blades pierced into the eyebrows of several people and fell to the ground with "bang bang bang".

A cold star suddenly ignited in Shen Yue's eyes. Without giving them time to react, she quickly jumped off the horse, wrapped the whip around the necks of several people, and swung her wrist.

Several large black watermelons flew into the air, and blood splattered into the sky.

The rest of the people were terrified.

They had only heard that the little guard disguised as a man beside King Cheng was very powerful, but they never imagined that she was such a terrifying perverted murderer!
