Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu were originally two War Gods in the Divine Realm, fighting side by side! Gu Nianchen had always buried his love deep in his heart, not daring to easily reveal it.
Ba...
Seeing the third prince leave, the two men looked at each other, understood each other tacitly, and ordered the deputy general to take the tiger beast's body and mount their horses to leave the hunting ground!
Along the way, when he met people who came because of the roar, he saw the tiger beasts in the car behind Bai Luoyu and left in disappointment. He knew that he could not take credit for this achievement!
As they were about to walk out, they saw the prince.
"General Bai has reaped a great harvest. It seems that today's reward will be yours!" The prince's voice came faintly!
"Thank you, Your Highness. It was just luck!" Bai Luoyu saluted with his fists clasped!
"When did fifth brother become so familiar with General Bai?" The prince looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze!
"My royal brother, this is the first time I've met General Bai today. I'm truly ashamed that you saved my life twice!" Gu Nianchen brought the topic to himself. He didn't like letting Bai Luoyu face such things. He just wanted him to do what he liked, and leave the rest to him!
"Oh? Did Fifth Brother gain anything today?"
"I gained a little, but not even a fraction of what my royal brother did!" Gu Nianchen replied "humbly" again!
"Haha, I just saw my third brother leave angrily, but did they have a conflict?"
Hearing this, Bai Luoyu thought to himself, what was coming has finally come. Today's hunt is truly the beginning of a turbulent situation in the capital! Who will win or lose is still unknown!
"How dare I conflict with my third brother? It's just that my third brother arrived a step late and was angry!" Gu Nianchen said as he observed the prince's expression. Although it was rumored that the prince was incompetent, after seeing him today, wasn't "incompetent" also a protective color?
"Third brother, it is quite immoral for you to do this. Fifth brother, don't be like him. If you have any problems, you can come to me, the emperor, and I will make a decision for you!" The prince's eyes were sincere, without a trace of falsehood!
"Thank you, Prince Royal Brother!" Gu Nianchen bowed deeply!
The prince was quite satisfied with Gu Nianchen's performance and smiled warmly: "It's getting late, don't keep father waiting for too long, come with me!" After that, he left without waiting for the two to express their opinions!
Bai Luoyu looked over but said nothing. He let Gu Nianchen go first, and he followed behind. He thought to himself, "Now that things have come to this, it seems I need to find a chance to find out what Gu Nianchen means! If he's not the right material for the crown prince, then this tiger beast should just repay the favor and end things right away. Don't get involved!"
When the prince and his two companions walked out of the hunting ground, the atmosphere in the ground was weird. The emperor's eyes moved slightly. He never expected that these three people would walk out together!
When he looked at the corpse of the tiger beast on the carriage driven by the follower behind Bai Luoyu, he felt disappointed again. Is it still true that no prince can compare with Bai Luoyu?
When the Third Prince saw the three people appear together, he clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound, his knuckles turned white and bloodless, his chest kept heaving, and he could not hide his anger. The Seventh Prince pulled the Third Prince's sleeve from behind, and he calmed down a little, but his eyes were still looking towards the three people with a vicious look!
"Congratulations, father, for obtaining a tiger beast. This is a blessing from heaven. Your Majesty is truly a wise and holy ruler for all eternity!" The prince stepped forward and knelt down!
"A wise and holy ruler for eternity"
"A wise and holy ruler for eternity"
"A wise and holy ruler for eternity"
As soon as the prince said this, everyone in the audience knelt down and chanted again!
How could the emperor not understand that the prince was using the tiger hunted by Bai Luoyu to praise his achievements? But this is the way of a king, knowing how to use the situation to his advantage. He nodded with satisfaction!
"Everyone, please stand up! Prince, did you hunt this tiger?"
Upon hearing this, the prince's expression remained calm, and he replied without a trace of embarrassment: "If I encounter this ferocious tiger, I will definitely hunt it down and present it to father. It's a pity..." What he meant was that he was not without strength, but just lacked luck. However, if he could pull Bai Luoyu to his camp, then he would have everything!
"General Bai is brave and powerful, and this tiger was hunted by General Bai! With such a brave and beloved general, our dynasty has nothing to worry about from foreign enemies!" Everyone was shocked after hearing these words. It was impossible for the old ministers to teach the prince in advance about emergencies, so the prince's performance in front of the emperor today was extremely wonderful!
"With Luo Yu guarding the army, I can rest assured! There will be no suspense in today's wild hunting. Come, reward General Bai with a thousand taels of gold! If he hunts an auspicious tiger, he will get another 500 taels of gold!" The eunuch in front of the emperor hurriedly took the gold and walked out!
Bai Luoyu stepped forward and knelt, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I did indeed have a good harvest from hunting today, but this tiger beast was killed by the Fifth Prince. I dare not accept this credit!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked!
The Third Prince laughed sinisterly at the side, "You will suffer the consequences of your own actions. If you dare to do such a thing to deceive the emperor, don't blame me!"
After hearing what Bai Luoyu said, the emperor was also puzzled. Even if Gu Nianchen had learned archery since childhood, it would be too difficult for him to hunt a tiger beast. The tiger beast's head was as hard as gold and iron. How could he do it without years of arm strength training?
A thought arose in his mind. Could it be that Bai Luoyu and Gu Nianchen had reached some kind of agreement? Was this Bai Luoyu paving the way for Gu Nianchen? Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold!
The third prince had been observing the emperor, and when he saw his expression gradually becoming colder, he laughed in his heart!
The prince was also frightened by Bai Luoyu's words. He had wanted to win over Bai Luoyu by taking advantage of his contribution, but after Bai Luoyu made such a fuss, if his father exposed the lies of these two people, wouldn't he be in trouble too!
So he spoke first, "General Bai, I heard from my fifth brother that you saved him twice before. I'm sure it was the tiger beast this time. Father, I think the two of you must have worked together to hunt down the tiger beast. General Bai didn't want to take credit for it, so he said it was my fifth brother who did it! Is that right, General Bai?"
These words can be regarded as a big step forward. As long as the two are willing to step down, there will be no casualties today!
But how could the Third Prince let the Crown Prince take advantage of the situation? If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, he would be too stupid!
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. The tiger beast was just hunted and a fatal arrow hit its head. The arrow is still there. If we check it, we will know the cause. It is impossible that two people shared a bow and arrow!" Everyone looked at the tiger beast. It was true. The arrow was clearly visible on the tiger beast's head!
The prince retorted, "The arrows were all fired uniformly, there's no difference. What can you tell from this? Third brother, don't cause trouble!"
The Third Prince's sinister smile widened. "My brother, the Crown Prince, may not be aware that, for the sake of fairness, we all have the same bows and arrows. But my fifth brother was late and didn't prepare his own, so he used a guard's bow. Father and all the ministers know this!"
The prince's face turned pale when he heard this. If this was true, then they would definitely be doomed today!
