There are mountains and rivers, and the woods are dense and deep. Each group enters with horses.
The function of a horse is not so much to be ridden as to carry things, such as quivers, weapons, dry food, etc.
If the women in the family were unable to walk, they could use horses as a means of transportation. Even if they got lost in the mountains and forests, they could kill horses to satisfy their hunger in order to avoid starvation.
This hunt was more like a short day of wilderness survival.
You can act alone or in groups, and no one is allowed to bring maids, servants, guards, etc., including the emperor.
Of course, the emperor has secret guards who protect his safety in the dark but do not participate in hunting operations. Jiang Ying just took a glance and saw that it was Eunuch Wei who had the honor of taking on this responsibility.
He is the only one here, which shows how high his martial arts skills are.
Jiang Ying had space, so apart from Lao Hei, he only brought a few empty bags to pretend that he was traveling, but in fact he was traveling light.
For Jiang Ying, who had quite good experience in the wild, surviving in the jungle for most of the day was not a difficult task at all.
Yan Zhuo was ready to take the top spot, if nothing else, mainly to slap Xuan Ning in the face!
"Xiao Jingyu's riding and archery were indeed taught by an expert. The Xiao family valued him very much since he was young, and that's why they trained him to be so talented in both literature and martial arts. It's a pity that he happened to be favored by Xuan Ning..." Yan Zhuo's tone made people laugh and cry.
Jiang Ying took a handful of spiritual herbs and prepared to feed Lao Hei first. After all, other people's horses are just horses, but Lao Hei is not. His cleverness is comparable to that of most humans!
Since they hadn't set off yet, the monkey son's voice was still within the transmission distance, so he could hear the little guy chattering and talking about his parents in his mind.
[Humph, not taking me! Not taking me again!]
[Saying I'm too young and unsafe is just an excuse! He's just being affectionate behind my back. What a jerk of a father! What a bad mother!]
[Who can't find a sweetheart? I'll find one tomorrow too. I'll spend every day with her so that you won't be able to find me even if you try!]
Unconsciously, he still thought he was twenty years old and could move freely and do whatever he wanted.
Jiang Ying laughed, leaned over, and bumped into Yan Zhuo, "Did you hear that? Your son is upset that we abandoned him!"
And the opinions are very strong, and they make all kinds of troubles like jade and silver core.
It wasn't that he was crying, he just refused to eat, frowned, and wouldn't smile no matter how much they coaxed him with toys.
Thinking of his baby-faced old man appearance, Jiang Ying's mouth corners couldn't help but pull wider.
Yan Zhuo beside him tutted his words and said, "Let him go. Life is so long, his parents can't always be with him."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying glared at the Dog Prince. What he said was true, but was it appropriate to feed this kind of chicken soup for the soul to the baby who was not even one year old?
If the hunting was not dangerous and uncontrollable, and if she and Yan Zhuo did have important matters to deal with, Jiang Ying would not have been willing to take her monkey son with her.
For now, just let him scold me and I will be back soon.
When they finally led the horses into the depths of the woods, they found several people sitting in front of them, as if waiting for someone.
Next to them, three horses were grazing on the half-withered grass on the ground, their tails wagging.
Jiang Ying and Yan Zhuo walked closer and took a look. Oh, aren’t these the three groups of Jiang Yuanyi, Jiang Yuanchen, Lu Yanran, Chen Xiaoxiao, Pei Wenting, and Yue Weimo?
"You... don't have much time left, why don't you go hunting?" If Jiang Ying guessed correctly, the three groups of people gathered here, probably waiting for her and Yan Zhuo?
As expected, Jiang Yuanyi stood up naturally and said, "I'm waiting for you. Big brother wants to be with his sister. Is there any problem?"
Jiang Yuanlang, "I was just wondering, why are you guys so slow? The princess, her husband, Prince Yu and the others up ahead can't wait to get started!"
The emperor was setting an example himself, and it was a rare occasion for him to leave the palace, so he wanted to have some fun. Xuan Ning was competing with Jiang Ying for that bit of pride. Needless to say, Prince Yu and Jiang Yilin had other intentions, and it was unknown what tricks they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do.
But no matter what their purpose was, they moved very quickly, which made Jiang Ying and Yan Zhuo, who were not in a hurry, seem a little irritating!
"There's no shortage of prey in the forest, but the environment is complex and fraught with danger. Our mission isn't to hunt at all costs, but to hunt as many prey as possible while ensuring we can return. Therefore, the race against time isn't that important.
Besides, no matter how strong a person's physique is, he can't sustain high-intensity labor for five or six hours, right? Endurance is far more important than explosive power!
This is like running a marathon. It's not about how fast the runners are in the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes, but about who takes the shortest overall time.
The same goes for hunting. Even if you hunt a lot at the beginning, it doesn’t mean you will hunt a lot overall. If you start too aggressively and consume too much energy, you may not only fail to catch any prey later, but you may also be injured by the prey.
What's more, they had just entered the outskirts of the forest, and most of the prey they caught were small-scale prey such as rabbits and pheasants. They wasted arrows and physical strength, but the points were not significant. It would be better for them to save their energy and go deep into the forest to hunt large prey.
After hearing what Jiang Ying said, the other three groups suddenly understood.
Yue Weimo rushed to Jiang Ying with a proud expression and hugged her arm affectionately, "See, I told you Sister Jiang is amazing. We can't go wrong by following her."
Yan Zhuo has no feelings for these people and does not object to them coming to take advantage of Jiang Ying, but what about Pei Wenting?
Suddenly, a warning look shot towards Pei Wenting.
The latter immediately felt a chill on his neck, raised his hands and took a step back, "Your Highness, it's not me, it's Miss Yue... My elbow can't twist her thigh, I can't control her!"
He really didn't want to annoy Yan Zhuo, but what kind of personality did Yue Weimo have? He couldn't control it. Besides, while he didn't want to win, he didn't want to lose too badly either. So, he really couldn't act separately from Yue Weimo.
