Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Hu Yansui's usually not very bright mind: "This prince did not attack you, Han Xiao, please stop slandering me."
Pointing at the musk deer on the ground, he continued, "This prince and the Second Prince followed this musk deer. We didn't expect Han Xiao to suddenly emerge from the bushes. This prince didn't check and was mistaken. If General Huo doesn't believe me, you can ask the Second Prince."
Everyone present knew that the Second Prince and Huyan Sui were in cahoots, but with the Second Prince around, they didn't dare to speak carelessly and could only nod cautiously.
Huo Xinyan didn't even look at these minions. He stepped forward to look at the musk deer. The arrow on the musk deer's neck was from Han Xiao, and not far away from the musk deer, there was another arrow that was from Hu Yansui.
It was indeed a surprise, but Huo Xinyan knew the Northern Di prince too well. Pointing at Hu Yansui's arrow, he said, "It seems that the eldest prince has been very busy recently. Back when he was on the battlefield, he always hit the target. I didn't expect that now he is so..."
As he said this, he deliberately looked in the direction of the musk deer and the arrow. His meaning was not difficult to understand.
Han Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. Now that things had developed to this point, it would be of no benefit for them to pursue the matter further.
Chu Jinglin also understood and stepped forward to say, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just talk it out. What do you think, second brother? Since neither of us is in trouble, let's just let it go."
The second prince's heart choked. These words were clearly his, but how could the bastard Chu Jinglin have spoken them first?
Of course, the second prince also knew that the current method was the best, but he was afraid... afraid that Hu Yansui would not agree.
Sure enough, as soon as Chu Jinglin finished speaking, Huyan Sui's face turned cold. Who is Han Xiao? Even if this prince kills him, what will happen? He actually dared to attack him in front of so many people.
Where would Hu Yansui's face be if this matter got out? However, looking at the spear in Huo Xinyan's hand, Hu Yansui felt a little unwilling.
The Second Prince stepped forward and patted Hu Yansui on the shoulder: "Prince, I also think that this matter should be forgotten. There is no need to trouble Father with his worries."
As he said this, he gave Hu Yansui a hidden look. Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. When they have accomplished their task, a small Han Xiao will be nothing to them.
Despite this, Huyan Sui was still somewhat unwilling and looked at Han Xiao fiercely.
Han Xiao looked back without showing any weakness, and seeing the murderous intent in Huyan Sui's eyes, he sneered in his heart. Let's see who will be the winner in the end.
Even if Hu Yansui was unwilling, with Huo Xinyan and Chu Jinglin around, they couldn't do anything to Han Xiao. Besides, Han Xiao was just a cannon fodder, so there was no need for them to take action.
The Second Prince and Huyan Sui could only comfort themselves in this way.
The matter was resolved so easily, and Han Xiao did not forget to pick up the dead musk deer.
When he left, his eyes didn't look the same as theirs. Chu Jinglin said helplessly to the Second Prince and Hu Yansui: "Then Second Brother, First Prince, we will take our leave first..."
The second prince nodded with a cold face, and made a note of Han Xiao in his heart.
Hu Yansui looked at the young master who was being held by Han Xiao, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.
After Han Xiao and the others had left, the Second Prince said, "Let's go too. Let's go somewhere else."
Hu Yansui stroked his chin and said in a vulgar tone, "Second Prince, I have spoken. No one can touch Han Xiao, and his little brother, both are mine."
The Second Prince's body stiffened and his face looked a little ugly. Although he didn't want to admit it, the young master was his younger brother after all and a member of the royal family of Jiang State. He didn't expect that Hu Yansui would set his sights on the young master.
"He's just a married young man. If the eldest prince likes her, I'll find you a better one later."
Hu Yansui shook his head. He had been coveting the young master for a long time. At that time, he did not dare to act rashly because Old Mo was there. But now it was different. As long as they succeeded in this autumn hunt, the emperor would have to be replaced.
"No, I want him. No one else can compare to him." Hu Yansui has also looked for someone similar to the young master.
But there is always something missing from those people.
The Second Prince's annoyance with Hu Yansui has now reached its peak. If he didn't still need this reckless man, he would have killed Hu Yansui long ago.
Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, the Second Prince put on a smile again: "Okay, since you like it, you can take it away when the time comes."
After saying this, he walked out without caring about Hu Yansui. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help but slap Hu Yansui.
The young master here was holding Han Xiao's hand tightly, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and a sense of unease in his heart.
Han Xiao had been paying attention to the young master, and when he noticed something was wrong with him, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Ruanruan?"
The young master shook his head, bit his lip and said: "I'm sorry, husband, it's all my fault for being too willful..."
If I hadn't been so willful as to leave my husband behind, he wouldn't have met Hu Yansui and the others.
Seeing the young master's self-blaming expression, Han Xiao lifted up the young master's face distressedly and gently wiped away the tears: "It's okay, how can you blame Ruanruan? Even if it wasn't you, I would have met them. Hu Yansui and the others did it on purpose. Do you know?"
The young master's eyes widened after hearing this. Was it intentional? Why was he targeting his own husband?
Han Xiao didn't want the young master to know about these dirty things, so he brushed it off with a few words.
He patted the musk deer on the horse's back and showed it to the young master: "Look, Ruanruan, I will make you a roasted whole musk deer later."
Musk deer meat is tender and delicious, and is a rare wild game. In modern times, musk deer is already a national first-class protected animal, so it is impossible to raise a large number of them in hunting grounds like today.
The unhappy mood of the young master who was talking about eating disappeared, and he turned his attention to the musk deer.
He was very confident in his husband's cooking skills. Thinking of the delicious deer roe, the young master couldn't help but move his Adam's apple. Then he leaned close to Han Xiao and whispered, "Brother didn't catch anything. Let's share some with them later, okay?"
Chu Jinglin came here just to play with the young master, and Huo Xinyan came here on the emperor's orders to protect the young master.
After coming in, they always let the young master take the lead, but in the end, they didn't catch anything.
Chu Jinglin was walking in front and frowned when he heard what the young master said. He felt that his younger brother didn't know his strength.
After exchanging a glance with Huo Xinyan, the two of them didn't say anything but silently quickened their pace. They had to bring back the prey before lunch.
Now the young master's mind was all on Han Xiao, so he didn't even notice that Chu Jinglin and Huo Xinyan had walked away.
