Chapter 52 The Crown Princess is Really a Miracle
Xiao Changheng's face turned cold and he raised the whip in his hand.
Bang!
The general who spoke 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 expression changed and he said:
"Princess, please don't make fun of me. My wife is still over a month away from full term. How could 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 light voice came from the front:
"After today's autumn hunt, all the generals will have a three-day rest. If you can take first place, there will be an additional reward."
Everyone immediately gave 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 there was anything wrong or not. He felt 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 people 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. She can even trick the prince into not being able to tell right from wrong!
We must think of a way and must not 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 solemnly swear 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 were not following her actively, just waiting to see her make a fool of herself. But now 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 and rushed forward, only to discover that there was a small path in the middle of the mountain wall that was only wide enough for one horse to pass through!
Everyone looked at each other, and seeing that the prince and the horse that was marching south had already walked some distance, 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 line 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 expedition 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's order, tell everyone back there to be careful and not make any loud noises!"
Chang Zongyan frowned.
It's the princess again. She just happened to know there was a way here, but she really takes herself seriously. Why is she giving orders like a weirdo?
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' pace 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, some standing, some lying, resting in groups.
The eyes of a group of generals widened, and their low voices could not hide their excitement:
"I didn't expect that the Royal Hunting Grounds would hide such a treasure. This is truly a different world!"
"That's right! We come here every autumn for hunting, but we've never heard of bison in the mountains!"
"Indeed, this valley is hidden too deep. Who would have thought there was such a place in the mountains?"
"A single adult bison weighs over a thousand pounds. How many would the 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 energy to chase it."
"You know what, the princess is really quite amazing..."
Chang Zongyan was in a complicated mood.
Isn't this really just a matter of chance?
Just as the thought came to his mind, he suddenly noticed Nan Zheng looking at him:
"I told you long ago, it's always right to listen to the princess. You'll be fine once you 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 mountains.
Facing another fork in the road.
"Go left."
Yun Bailian didn't hesitate much and directly chose the path that looked the easiest.
"Okay." Xiao Zirui chose the left fork without hesitation.
Ye Zhishen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say:
"We've come this 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? Well, I won't be in charge of the rest of the way. You guys can decide which way to go."
Xiao Zirui immediately comforted him:
"How could that be? Bai Lian, you are blessed with the destiny of the Heavenly Phoenix. The path you point out must be the one that will lead us to victory. Don't 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 Crown Princess's fate was personally approved by the Imperial Preceptor. Can you be more accurate than the Imperial Preceptor?"
Ye Zhishen: ...
He didn't understand what those mysterious arts were, but he had followed his father in horseback riding, archery and hunting since he was a child, so he at least knew that large wild animals often lurked in the depths of the dense forest.
This 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 judgment 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. Hurry! Catch up with it!"
