Chapter 484 The Hunt Begins
"Just do it normally. I said that I am just an ordinary person who came to join the event like everyone else," Zhao Yarou said lightly.
"Well... it would be more meaningful for the emperor to come in person. I think everyone thinks so too." The court official did not continue with the normal procedures, but continued to let Zhao Yarou come.
In addition to getting him out of this trouble, this also flattered Zhao Yarou from the side. "Yes, beautiful queen, you should come."
After hearing this, the people below also began to agree, and this was what they wanted to see in their hearts. After all, letting Queen Zhao Yarou preside over it personally would make this hunt more important and allow them to be more proud in the future.
How proud? Isn't it just bragging to others that the hunting event he joined was personally hosted by Her Majesty the Queen, and he joined the event like everyone else? What a boastful thing to do.
"Then let me do it." Zhao Yarou was still calm as always. She walked directly to the small platform. Under everyone's attention, she said four words -
The Hunt Begins
It was so simple and clear that it made people feel a little overwhelmed. Some of the conventional speeches in the past were omitted. Although those words were not many originally and could be finished in a few minutes at most, it was still too simple.
However, after a while, people reacted.
"roar"
The roars throughout the day announced that the hunting activity had officially begun, and Zhao Yarou's decisiveness was admired by many people, including Ye Lang, who was irreconcilable with her.
"I have to say, although this woman is abnormal, she is really decisive in doing things," Ye Lang sighed.
"Well, she simply killed her father as if nothing had happened, and slaughtered all the royal family members to make her throne unshakable," Cold-Blooded Five nodded in agreement.
Now, there are only three people in the royal family of the entire Xiangkong Empire. One is Zhao Yarou herself, and the other is Ye Lang's seventh princess and seventh sister-in-law. According to the ancient Chinese saying, the royal family has been cut off. Ye Lang has only this idea about this. There are only these three girls left in the royal family, and the incense has been cut off. However, this is the saying in ancient China. There is no such saying on this continent. Women can also inherit the incense, but they also have to find a son-in-law to marry into the royal family.
The empress of the Xiangkong Empire, of course, wants to find a son-in-law who will live with her family. It is impossible for her to get married. And this son-in-law seems to be the prince of the empire.
"Let's go, if we don't we'll be discovered."
Seeing that Ye Lang was still in a daze, Lengxue Wu reminded him, because at this time, everyone else had already left, and after the roar, they were all heading towards the hunting ground.
Of course, that doesn't mean there won't be others after Ye Lang. Some people will still walk slowly past, hinting at a certain attitude, a nonchalant attitude. There's a less elegant word that can describe this very well, that is - pretentious. Ye Lang could have pretended, but if it meant standing out too much, he wouldn't do it, because he has always been very low-key. Why would Ye Lang stand out among that group of people? It's simple, because these people are all horseback riders. In the hunting grounds, riding a horse is actually a must, unless there are no horses.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the hunting ground. In fact, this hunting ground is very large, unimaginably large. The hunting area is a mountainous area, an irregularly shaped mountainous area, with the longest vertical and horizontal distances of five hundred miles and three hundred miles.
This is equivalent to a quarter of a province of the empire, which is larger than some small kingdoms. This is also unreasonable. This hunting activity is a grand event for the entire empire, with a large number of participants. If it is just a small place, how can we hunt?
That is basically a fight for prey. What is being compared is not hunting skills, but force. This is the purpose of the activity. There is a rule in the activity, that is, prey cannot be fought for. Of course, this refers to the prey that has been shot. If it happens that everyone has their eyes on the same prey, then they can only compete with each other's strength, or cooperate to score points. Ye Lang is actually not unfamiliar with this hunting activity. He has participated in it before, and he won that time. However, he didn't even hold a bow and arrow that time. It was Ye Lanyu and the others who took care of it.
Ye Lang was a member of a group at that time, which included Ye Lang himself, the Seventh Princess Ye Lanyu, and a few other girls. Ye Lang couldn't remember who they were, but he remembered that they were familiar with Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess.
The reason for the victory at that time was not because the team members were so strong, but because the team was so lucky that there were prey almost everywhere they went. It can be said that the prey came to them automatically.
When hunting, the most time-consuming part is finding the prey; this is the most crucial part. However, Ye Lang's team skipped this step, making it difficult for them not to win. At that time, almost everyone was sighing—
Hey, Thirteenth Master's luck is really invincible
Let's get back to the point. Such a large piece of land naturally requires a means of transportation like horses. As pretentious nobles, they certainly have this. But Ye Lang, it's not that he can't afford it, but he doesn't know how to ride a horse, so he can only walk. Therefore, he can't mix in with this group of people, so he has to follow the civilians before.
If people found out that he, a noble, couldn't ride a horse, this problem would attract other people's attention. Combined with some assumptions, they would probably deduce that he might be the only noble in the world who couldn't ride a horse, that alternative prodigal son. Therefore, Ye Lang had to enter the hunting ground as early as possible. Once he entered, he believed that no one would notice him anymore. The hunting ground was so large, and after going deeper into it, he might be alone the whole time and wouldn't meet other people. With such a probability, Ye Lang felt that it would be unlikely for him to meet Zhao Yarou by coincidence.
Of course, because of this, Ye Lang did not go too far after entering, because he wanted to follow Li Yue. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him and Li Yue to meet during the hunt.
"I hope you don't walk with that abnormal woman, otherwise we will have to make new plans." Ye Lang sat on a small rock on the hillside, where he could just see Li Yue, Zhao Yarou and others who had not yet entered the hunting ground.
Ye Lang was looking forward to what Li Yue would do next. If it was with Zhao Yarou, he would simply give up this activity and go back to the city to rest.
Fortunately, Li Yue didn't seem to plan to go with Zhao Yarou, and Zhao Yarou didn't want to keep Li Yue by her side. Li Yue decided to do the same as in previous years and find an uninhabited area to hunt alone.
