Not long after Yun Munian arrived in the Northern Frontier, she used a communication method specializing in metaphysics to make contact with the goddess of the Northern Barbarians who was trying to discern fate.
They offered to help them attack Tianqi as a bargaining chip, begging the Northern Di people to save them.
Therefore, the Northern Di prince led his men to attack the labor camp on the border overnight and abducted Yun Munian back to the Northern Frontier.
Then, the Northern Di Di Divine Physician implanted the Gu worm into Yun Mu Nian's brain, repairing his damaged nerves and temporarily restoring his vision.
However, treating with Gu worms is only a temporary measure.
The effect only lasts for one month.
Moreover, the patient can only see things within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) radius, and after a month, there will be unpredictable side effects.
A gentle breeze blew by, lightly lifting the hem of the Northern Di prince's robe.
He asked, "Guess where your little emperor will go hunting tomorrow?"
Without thinking, Yun Munian blurted out:
"Poplar Forest".
"Why?"
Yun Munian: "Because the people of the Central Plains are not good at riding horses, they are used to hunting wild animals during the autumn hunt and prefer a more enclosed setting."
Therefore, the first hunt of each autumn must take place in the poplar forest.
"Good." The Northern Di prince smiled smugly.
"Then I'll send over a few dozen wolves to give your little emperor a proper welcome."
“Yes.” Yun Munian agreed wholeheartedly.
"Release the wolf packs that your Northern Di nobles keep for battle, and abduct the delicate and weak little emperor to your tribe."
At that time, Apocalypse will be leaderless, and you'll have no choice but to manipulate it.
"Hahaha. Good." The Northern Di prince stood up and gently patted Yun Munian's shoulder:
"If we can successfully capture Yu Sijin this time, I will give the Grand Preceptor the greatest credit."
"I don't care about being the first to achieve anything, I just want Yu Sijin's life."
Yun Munian's unfocused eyes were filled with rage.
He no longer desires fame and fortune.
Yu Sijin destroyed everything he had, and he must make this naive young emperor pay with his life for it!
… …
The next day.
The hunt had already begun at the crack of dawn.
Contrary to his usual behavior, Si Jin took the lead in riding out of the camp, leaving the group of generals who followed him far behind.
The generals stood frozen in place, staring in disbelief at the young emperor who was riding far ahead of them in the distance.
Isn't His Majesty always cooped up in the palace and not good at riding horses?
But now, why is his horsemanship so superb that even those of us who are on the march and fighting can't compare?
Gu Linyuan reacted the fastest, and was the second to break away from the group and chase after them.
At this moment, everyone snapped out of their shock and hurriedly spurred their horses to follow.
Before the hunt began, the emperor would shoot a deer first.
It's used to bring good luck and good fortune.
However, because the original owner was not a skilled rider, the officials in charge of maintaining the hunting grounds placed a paralyzed deer on the outermost layer of the forest.
Si Jin can hit the target as long as he raises his arrow.
However, when the generals who arrived later reached the forest, they found the crippled deer still lying there, blinking its eyes peacefully.
"..."
Someone worriedly asked, "Won't His Majesty miss even this one?"
"That won't do. Hunting deer is a tradition passed down from our ancestors, and His Majesty..."
However, before they could finish their discussion, Si Jin shook off Gu Linyuan and rode back on horseback.
He gave them a disgusted look and pointed to the southwest:
"You're all too slow. I shot five deer over there, two of which were pierced through the throat by a single arrow. Go and pick them up for me quickly."
Stop focusing on this sickly little thing. What sense of accomplishment is there in shooting it? Why don't you all have any ambition?
Go quickly!
After saying that, he spotted a gray wolf with sharp eyes and immediately gave chase.
The officials looked at each other.
They all gaped, their jaws nearly hitting the ground.
With great difficulty, she suppressed her shock and went to pick up the prey in the direction Si Jin pointed.
… …
Meanwhile, Gu Linyuan failed to catch up with the young emperor, but he noticed the unusual situation at the hunting grounds before the others did—
The wolves that Tianqi releases into the forest are generally quite docile, and they rarely howl even on a full moon night.
But why would he hear wolves howling in the early morning?
Could it be that the Northern Barbarians have infiltrated?
Upon realizing this, Gu Linyuan's heart sank, and he immediately turned back to find Si Jin.
Halfway there, they encountered the group of military officers who were gathering prey.
His brows were furrowed, and his tone was anxious.
Where is His Majesty?
The military officers reported: "His Majesty saw a gray wolf and chased it eastward."
Gu Linyuan was even more alarmed, fearing something might happen to Si Jin. He quickly spurred his horse and galloped away, shouting at the same time:
"Come with me quickly, there's a pack of wolves kept by the Northern Barbarians in the hunting grounds!!!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately followed.
At the same time, Si Jin drew his bow and nocked it.
An arrow pierced the gray wolf's neck.
Just as I was about to check my hunting results, I heard wolves howling all around me.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of burly gray wolves burst out from all directions.
The slender boy was surrounded by a dense crowd.
