"Your Highness!"
Everyone knelt on the ground, and their uniform shouts echoed over the entire royal hunting ground, resounding to the sky.
The King of Chu was wearing a suit suitable for riding and shooting. Even though he was nearly fifty years old, the way he held the sword could not hide his dashing demeanor.
He walked to a high place, with his long sword planted in the ground, and his energy soared like a rainbow:
"Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"It's autumn hunting season again. The young generation is talented and promising. Only then can Great Chu prosper. It was not easy for Great Chu to found a country. It was not easy to establish a country, but it is even more difficult to keep this land. Great Chu needs talents, and I need you even more!"
The King of Chu looked at everyone and spoke in a sonorous voice:
"This year, the winner will be awarded a gilded bow made of Ximu wood!"
Four imperial guards carried a heavy, square wooden platform and placed it in front of everyone. On the platform, the bow was positioned like a battlefield, imposing and impressive.
Everyone gasped:
"I heard that in ancient mythology, Hou Yi shot down the sun with a Ximu bow!"
"The Ximu wood is strong and indestructible. Look at the gilded Qilin grip. It is truly noble!"
"I heard that the blade of this bow is made from tiger tendons. Only the bravest man in the Great Chu can pull open this extremely heavy Ximu gilded bow!"
"If I could make this bow, I would definitely place it in the ancestral hall as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation!"
"Hahaha, Lieutenant General Zhang has great ambitions, but the First and Third Princes are excellent in riding and archery, and with the Regent here, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
The Ximu gilded bow placed in front of them successfully aroused everyone's fighting spirit.
That's not enough.
The King of Chu even showed his favor: "Anyone who wants this bow can touch it and try it out. The autumn hunt will begin in half an hour."
Now, many people came forward excitedly.
A deputy general with a heroic character strode onto the stage and wanted to try out the bow. However, as soon as he grasped it, a chill penetrated into his palm, and it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
I tried hard in secret, but couldn't pull it out.
this!
His expression was slightly tense, and he tried again, but it was still difficult.
"Major General Wang, can you do this?"
He said with a gloomy face: "Master Wei, why don't you give it a try?"
A young man stepped forward confidently, but the gilded bow was so heavy that he could not even pull the string even with all his strength.
"No, I'll do it."
"let me."
The others were eager to try, and they all wanted to touch the bow to stimulate their fighting spirit, but their faces turned red with fear, as they were really holding back.
The Seventh Prince sneered: "A bunch of losers, making a fool of themselves here, who are you trying to make laugh to death?"
He threw his sword to his attendant and strode onto the platform:
"I'll do it!"
Everyone stepped back.
He held the bow confidently, but within three or four seconds, his expression turned grim...
Chu Li saw this and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop:
“Haha! Hahaha!”
The Seventh Prince's face darkened, and his eyes were like knives stabbing at Chu Li. "What are you laughing at? I can't draw the bow, and you probably can't even pluck the bowstring. You are a loser and you don't even know it, but you are still laughing with your mouth wide open."
Chu Li smiled:
"I know myself well, so I won't be like my seventh brother."
a shame.
"you!"
The Seventh Prince was really angry. He rushed forward and tried to grab Chu Li by the collar. Chu Li spread his legs and sat on the ground:
"I'm going to tell my father that you hit me."
"..."
waste.
What a waste!
How could there be a prince as rogue as him?
If he were to argue with Chu Li, he would only lower his own status and become a laughing stock.
"Chu Li, just wait for me!"
During this year's autumn hunting, he will use his strength to prove that Chu Li is a waste!
The royal hunting grounds cover eight hills. The mountains are long and many animals live in them. Every autumn is the time for a bumper harvest of juicy prey.
Accompanied by an inspiring horn, dozens of people rode their horses and rushed into the woods.
Chu Li sat on the horse with Qin Muyu.
"Ahri, I'll help you cum later."
Qin Muyu does this every year, fearing that Chu Li will be at the bottom. But Chu Li has no intention of showing off, he just thinks of it as having fun.
"The Emperor said cheating is strictly prohibited."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone has a unique mark on their arrow feathers. I'll use your arrow feathers to shoot. As long as you don't say anything, no one will know."
Chu Li tilted his head and looked at him:
"You are stupid. You helped me and slowed down my own progress. It would be glorious if you could come out on top."
Speaking of this, Qin Muyu couldn't help but pull the reins, get closer to Chu Li, and whispered:
"It's strange to say, last year, the Third Prince came out on top, and the Regent only had one less prey than him."
"The year before last, the eldest prince took first place, and the regent only got one less prey than him."
"It was the same three years ago, Ahri. Do you think the Regent King is inferior to others in skills, or is he doing it on purpose?"
Logically speaking, the Regent had fought in battles and won every victory, so his riding and archery skills were naturally not a problem. How was it possible that he could be second every year?
Chu Li smiled faintly:
"He provoked the emperor in this way. Even if those people won the first place, they knew in their hearts that the regent deliberately gave in. This made everyone unhappy, and his goal was achieved."
Qin Muyu whispered: "It seems that there will be no surprises in this year's results. Since it is already determined, we might as well take this opportunity to have some fun. The animals in the royal hunting grounds are fat."
Everyone entered the forest, eagerly looking for prey and shooting it with arrows.
Only Chu Li and Qin Muyu were talking to each other calmly.
"Commander Xiao, isn't that your little nephew?"
Not far away, a deputy general asked.
Xiao Yexing narrowed his eyes and looked over, only to see two young men riding on horseback, head to head, talking about something, but grinning from ear to ear.
He glanced at Chu Dichi beside him.
The man held the reins, sitting on the horse in gorgeous clothes, looking at the two young men, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes were as cold as ice.
Xiao Yexing raised his voice: "Mu Yu."
Qin Muyu turned around, "Uncle?"
"The autumn hunt has already begun, why are you still talking to the Ninth Prince? If it affects the Ninth Prince's performance and ruins his reputation, can you afford to offend him?"
Xiao Yexing rode over and took Qin Muyu away.
Chu Li felt a dull pain in his ears when he saw the Regent, but he remembered what he said that day at the Coral Waterside Pavilion. He was afraid that he would use the autumn hunt as a cover to start a massacre, so he had to spur his horse forward:
"Uncle."
"Uncle Emperor has a lot of success in the autumn hunt every year. Xiaojiu knows that he is not good at riding and shooting, so why don't I follow you and help you pick up the prey?"
Chu Dichi glanced at her coldly:
"Can you also embroider sachets?"
"What?"
As Chu Li asked back, he saw the Regent leading Jiang Ye into the depths of the forest.
What does he mean by this?
After thinking for two seconds, he was still puzzled and immediately followed.
If she stayed with him, he couldn't possibly kill her too.
Hey wait!
They were together, and if he really wanted to take action, even if he wanted to kill her, no one would know. Isn't it courting death for her to follow him?
So, he pretended to keep up, but actually slowed down more and more, until he had built up a certain distance between them, and then he quickly ran away, holding the horse between his legs.
Slipped away. Slipped away.
Not far away.
"Sixth Prince, look, the Ninth Prince is with the Regent."
Each participant is accompanied by a guard who specializes in picking up prey.
The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes and saw a plan that came naturally:
"Where's what I want?"
"It's already prepared." Seeing that there was no one around, the guard cautiously took out a small paper bag from his sleeve.
The Sixth Prince picked it up with his fingertips and said, "This tiny amount of powder is enough to drive a beast crazy?"
"Yes, this medicine is sold on the black market and is a banned substance. I spent a lot of effort to get this little bit."
"That's enough."
It would be understandable if the beast went mad and bit the regent to death.
If the Regent is not killed, and Chu Li next to him is killed, the Regent will also be to blame.
The revenge for the eldest sister-in-law must be taken today.
