Chapter 53 Bah!
Um?
Ye Zhishen quickly looked up and thought to himself, could Tianfeng really be that powerful, and did he misunderstand the Crown Princess?
After looking for a long time, I only saw a hare hopping and disappearing into the woods in front of me.
"..." Ye Zhishen was speechless, "Could the prey the Crown Princess was talking about be that rabbit?"
And he was scared away by her making a fuss.
"What's wrong with a rabbit? Doesn't everything have to be done step by step? If you can't even catch a rabbit, how can you talk about jackals, tigers and leopards!" Yun Bailian argued confidently.
Ye Zhishen was so angry that he almost laughed. He was not a child who was just learning to hunt. Wasn't this how the step-by-step approach worked?
But the prince nodded and smiled dotingly at Yun Bailian:
"That's right, we've already spotted the prey, which is a good start. I believe Bai Lian will be able to lead us to the best prey and win the championship in one fell swoop!"
Ye Zhishen: ...
I don't want to pay any attention to them at all.
Originally, he was thinking of cooperating with the prince and showing off his skills in the autumn hunt, but he was really tired after all this journey, so he decided to just let it go.
The idea of giving up had just come to my mind and before I could even warm up, I suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. This sound was different from ordinary flowing water. It went from vague to gradually clear, as if the source of the water was gradually approaching.
Ye Zhishen's expression darkened.
Before he could remind her, Yun Bailian rode up to them with great enthusiasm and said in surprise:
"Listen! There's the sound of water over there! I heard the spring water in the mountains is especially sweet. I've been wanting to try it for a long time!"
"No! Don't go over there!" Ye Zhishen's eyelids twitched and he stopped him sternly.
"Are you done yet? Prince brother said long ago that he would listen to me along the way, why are you the only one who keeps dragging me down?" Yun Bailian continued to walk over there without looking back.
Ye Zhishen gnashed his teeth:
"That's not the sound of water at all, it's a poisonous snake! Your Highness, stop her quickly!"
Xiao Zirui was stunned and frowned:
"Brother Ye, don't be ridiculous. I've never heard of a snake making a sound, let alone making such a realistic sound of flowing water!"
Chen Rong laughed loudly on the side:
"Ye Zhishen, have you had enough of this journey? Even if you have a problem with the Crown Princess, you don't have to say such things to make her happy, right?"
Ye Zhishen looked at Xiao Zirui and said angrily:
"I'm not that bored yet. The Crown Princess only listens to you, the Crown Prince. If you don't call her back, she'll be in danger!"
"Enough!" Xiao Zirui's face darkened. "I know Brother Ye can't stand the Crown Princess, but I'm going to make it clear now. All actions in today's autumn hunt will be under the control of the Crown Princess. Anyone who insists on going against her..." going against me.
Before he could utter the last few words, he suddenly heard a sharp scream.
Everyone turned their heads suddenly and saw Yun Bailian's horse suddenly stand up!
"Ah--" Yun Bailian screamed and was thrown down.
"White Lotus!"
"Princess!"
"Hurry up and save them!"
Xiao Zirui hurriedly led his men to rush over.
Ye Zhishen rushed over and reminded loudly:
"Be careful, there are poisonous snakes around there, don't get bitten!"
Chen Rong said bluntly:
"It's already this hour and you're still talking nonsense..."
"It's really a snake!" Someone suddenly screamed and pointed at Yun Bailian's horse.
The horse had fallen to the ground with a bang and began to foam at the mouth. There was indeed a long snake tightly biting its leg.
Xiao Zirui drew his sword and cut off the snake's head, then turned around to help Yun Bailian.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He was a little nervous. If Tianfeng could not participate in the hunting, the outcome would be hard to say.
Yun Bailian quickly confirmed that her veil had not fallen off, and then threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes:
"Brother Crown Prince! I was so scared... Thank goodness you were so wise and brave enough to save Bai Lian, otherwise... wuwuwu..."
Ye Zhishen looked at her weak and unable to take care of herself and shook his head. He drew his sword and blocked Xiao Zirui with a nervous expression.
"Prince, please stay away from this thing. Be careful, it may attack you!"
Chen Rong glared as if he had heard a joke and said:
"Are you okay? How can this snake bite people with only its head left? Even if we didn't listen to you before, you wouldn't say such alarmist things, right?"
Xiao Zirui was also happy:
"Brother Ye, this joke is indeed a bit outrageous."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snake's head, which was originally biting the horse's leg, suddenly jumped up and flew straight towards the prince's face!
Yun Bailian was so scared that she screamed and hid behind the prince.
Ye Zhishen was prepared and stabbed the snake's head with his sword, nailing it to the ground, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Zirui's eyes widened, he almost gasped for breath, his heart leaping into his throat.
Everyone else also opened their mouths in shock.
"This...this snake head can really bite!"
"I've never heard of this. What on earth is going on?"
"This snake could easily poison a horse to death. Fortunately, Master Ye had foresight, otherwise..."
Ye Zhishen chopped the snake's head into pieces, then sheathed his sword and explained:
"When I was little, I traveled with my master for a year. In Xilan, I encountered this kind of venomous snake. It would shake its tail, making a sound similar to running water, to lure small animals seeking water. I even saw a snake attack someone again after my master had chopped off its head."
"But Master said that this snake is extremely rare. He has only seen it in the remote mountainous areas in the south of Xilan. I didn't expect to see it here."
"Your Highness, we'd better act cautiously from now on." Ye Zhishen didn't want to say much, but after all, they had been friends for many years, so he took this opportunity to remind him.
"Yeah." Xiao Zirui just nodded lightly.
When he thought about what had just happened, he suddenly felt embarrassed and felt that Ye Zhishen's reminder was ironic.
His eyes turned slightly cold, and he turned to Yun Bailian and said:
"Let's go. You don't have a mount anymore, so why don't you ride one with me?"
"Brother Crown Prince, you are so kind to me!" Yun Bailian was overjoyed. "But I've been riding the horse for so long, I'm so tired. Can I sit sideways?"
Her veil covered the rashes on her face, and her sweet voice gave her an air of mystery.
The prince smiled gently: "Of course, I'm here, how could I let you get tired?"
The two men mounted their horses, and Yun Bailian sat sideways in front of Xiao Zirui, nestling in his arms shyly.
Ye Zhishen looked at Xiao Zirui and saw that he didn't take his words seriously at all. His eyes dimmed and he turned around and got on his horse without saying anything.
Chen Rong rode past him and said sarcastically:
"Young Master Ye is so capable, how about you take the lead in today's hunt? Otherwise, the credit for the first prize will be taken away by the Crown Princess!"
Ye Zhishen had a blank expression on his face, didn't even look at him, and said nothing.
Chen Rong thought he was being humiliated, so he laughed strangely and rushed to the front.
Ye Zhishen sneered in his heart.
Just these bunch of idiots, and they got the first place?
Bah! They don’t deserve it!
