Chapter 52 The Crown Princess is Really Amazing
Xiao Changheng's face turned cold and he raised the whip in his hand.
Bang!
The general who was speaking had no time to react before he was whipped off his horse.
"If I hear anyone disrespecting the princess again, I will punish him severely!" His voice was as cold as ice.
Everyone was frightened and dared not say anything more.
Yun Qingqing glanced at the officer who was struggling to get up, and suddenly said:
"Your wife will have a difficult labor tomorrow night. You'd better take a leave and go back early to prepare."
Chai Shuo was stunned for a moment, his face changed and he said:
"Princess, please don't make fun of me. My wife is still more than a month away from full-term. How can she give birth tomorrow night?"
"She will give birth prematurely." Yun Qingqing said calmly.
Seeing that Chai Shuo obviously didn't believe her, she didn't say much. She held the reins and let Qianlixue walk into the dense forest. Nanzheng followed without hesitation.
Chai Shuo followed behind, obviously a little uneasy.
Xiao Changheng's faint voice came from the front:
"After today's autumn hunt, all the generals should take a three-day break. If you can win first place, you will receive an extra reward."
Everyone immediately let out a low cheer, praising the prince for his wisdom.
Chai Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief. He was going to take a day off anyway, and he could go home to see his wife whether he had anything to do or not. It made him feel at ease.
Chang Zongyan became more and more worried.
What the hell is this woman talking about!
Although the prince is strict, he always rewards and punishes clearly and with reason. How could he be so partial to a woman in the past!
Because of her casual remark, he ordered all the generals to take a three-day rest.
It turns out that Yun Qingqing is not a good person at all. She can even trick the prince into not being able to tell right from wrong!
We must think of a way and cannot allow her to continue to seduce the prince!
Just as they were thinking indignantly, the group had already reached the end of the dense forest, and in front of them was a cliff that was dozens of feet high.
Chang Zongyan immediately sneered:
"Didn't the princess swear that there was a way? What should we do now?"
Yun Qingqing ignored him and rode his horse along the mountain wall for about ten feet. Then he suddenly turned and disappeared.
Everyone originally thought that Yun Qingqing's words were unreliable and had not been following her actively, just waiting to see her make a fool of herself. But this time they were shocked and hurriedly urged their horses to catch up, calling out loudly for the prince.
But Nan Zheng, who was following closely behind the prince's horse, also turned and disappeared.
Chang Zongyan hurriedly led his men on horseback to the front, only to find that there was a small path in the middle of the mountain wall that was only wide enough for one horse to pass!
Everyone looked at each other, and seeing that the prince and the horse of Nanzheng had gone some distance away, they had no choice but to follow them one by one.
Walking into this gap, you can look up and see the towering mountain walls on both sides, with only a thin strip of sky left.
How did the princess find such a hidden passage?
...It's just a matter of luck, and we don't know whether there is a road ahead. Even if there is a road, there may not be prey.
The southern march ahead suddenly stopped.
Chang Zongyan's heart moved, and he asked:
"What? No way out?"
Nan Zheng turned around and made a "silence" gesture, and whispered:
"Pass on the princess' order, tell everyone behind to be careful and not to make any loud noise!"
Chang Zongyan frowned.
It's the princess again. She just happened to know there is a way here, but she really takes herself seriously. Why is she giving orders like a mystic?
But due to the prince's previous warning, he suppressed his anger and passed the order on.
Not far away, the narrow passage came to an end.
The people and horses behind followed one after another, trying to make the horses' steps lighten as much as possible and moved out carefully.
Suddenly the view became clear.
It turned out to be a huge valley with a pool of clear water in the center and lush green grass all around. Antelopes and sika deer were grazing leisurely, and foxes and rabbits chasing each other flashed by among the trees.
The most surprising thing is that there is a small group of bison by the lake, standing or lying together to rest.
The eyes of a group of generals were all wide open, and their low voices could not hide their excitement:
"I didn't expect that there was such a treasure hidden in the royal hunting grounds. It's really a different world!"
"That's right. We come here every autumn for hunting, but we've never heard of bison in the mountains!"
"Yes, this valley is hidden too deep. Who would have thought there is such a place in the mountains?"
"An adult bison alone weighs over a thousand pounds. How many prey do other teams have to hunt to match that? Haha, now we're almost certain to win first place!"
"No wonder we were told to be quiet. If we scare the beast away, it will take a lot more effort to chase it."
"You know what, the princess is really amazing..."
Chang Zongyan felt somewhat complicated.
Isn't this really just a matter of chance?
Just as the thought came to his mind, he suddenly noticed that Nan Zheng glanced at him:
"I told you long ago, it's always right to listen to the princess, just get used to it."
Chang Zongyan: ...
Is this an illusion? General Nan, why are you so proud?
They were all experienced generals and immediately started hunting.
At this time, the prince's team also reached the heart of the mountain.
Facing another fork in the road.
"Go left."
Yun Bailian didn't hesitate much and directly chose the one that looked the easiest.
"Okay." Xiao Zirui chose the left fork without hesitation.
Ye Zhishen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said:
"We've walked so far and haven't seen anything except a few pheasants. Princess, are you sure there's big game behind this road?"
Yun Bailian pursed her lips and said unhappily:
"Brother Crown Prince, what do you think he means? Is he blaming me for choosing the wrong route? Then I won't take care of the rest of the way. You guys can decide which route to take."
Xiao Zirui immediately comforted him:
"How could that be? Bai Lian, you are blessed with the destiny of a heavenly phoenix. The path you point out must be the route that will lead us to victory. You don't need to listen to what others say, just choose to lead the way."
Chen Rong snorted coldly:
"If you don't understand, please don't interrupt. The fate of the Crown Princess was personally approved by the Imperial Master. Can you be more accurate than the Imperial Master?"
Ye Zhishen: ...
He didn't understand what those mysterious arts were all about, but he had followed his father in riding, archery and hunting since he was a child, so he at least knew that large wild animals often lurked in the deep forests.
This Crown Princess has always chosen the route that is most suitable for horse racing. Not to mention large wild animals, even foxes and rabbits would probably have to take a detour, right?
If I can see such an obvious thing myself, can’t the prince see it?
How come the prince loses even the most basic judgement when it comes to Yun Bailian?
Ye Zhishen shook his head and stopped talking.
Anyway, it seems there is no hope, so let him be.
Suddenly, Yun Bailian's surprised cry came from the front:
"There's prey! I told you this was the right path to take, hurry up! Catch up with it!"
