The deafening sound of drums rose into the sky, carrying with it majesty and solemnity, and also symbolizing that the royal family is going out on a tour, and everyone has to kneel to welcome them!
As the team walked out of the palace, everyone on the road leading to the city gate knelt down to welcome them.
The scene was unprecedented, this was the Tianfu royal family, everyone had to submit!
After walking out of the South Gate, the team gradually floated up into the sky and rushed towards the hunting ground! The mighty team walked in the sky, and when passing by the city, the people below looked up at the royal family, and then knelt down to offer their sincere blessings.
Hunting is a traditional royal festival. For the sake of safety and royal dignity, some spiritual beasts are specially raised in captivity for the royal family to hunt, or someone will injure the beast first and then the princes will hunt it.
All in all, this royal hunting is full of tricks!
Changlin was the royal hunting ground. Zhu Zhengqing built a temporary compound, and opposite the compound was a forest.
When the royal family arrived, the forest was filled with the sound of birdsong and thousands of birds flew into the sky.
"Your Majesty is so blessed that even this bird is cheering for your arrival." Che Hongliang couldn't help but flatter.
Che Meiniang is the current queen and Che Hongliang's sister. In such occasions, she would definitely stand next to the emperor.
"Your Majesty has your patronage, and the birds are singing. It's a good sign." Che Meiniang laughed softly. Behind her were a group of concubines, all dressed up and beautiful, who only wanted to be favored by the emperor.
Among these concubines, there were many virgins, and even the emperor had forgotten to touch them.
Hearing these compliments, Zhu Chengxuan smiled faintly: "With this emperor here, the country will naturally be peaceful and the people will be safe."
Following Zhu Chengxuan's words, everyone knelt down and shouted, "God bless your majesty, God bless Tianfu!"
Zhu Chengxuan smiled and raised his hand. The troops began to set up camp, while the royal family and others went into the courtyard to rest.
Walking into the compound, Zhu Chengxuan smiled and said, "Prince, you did a good job."
"Thank you for the compliment, Father."
In the past, people used to set up tents when hunting, but this time Zhu Zhengqing built a temporary compound within three days, which shows his dedication.
Hearing the emperor praising the prince, Che Meiniang and Che Hongliang were very unhappy.
"Your Majesty, if you let Yoona do it, I believe she will do a good job." Che Meiniang said in a low voice.
Zhu Yun bowed and stood beside him, whispering, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent, and I am not as smart as you."
Zhu Chengxuan didn't say anything, but Che Meiniang glared at her son fiercely.
Zhu Yun actually doesn't like it. Father now values Zhu Zhengqing very much. Now you are comparing yourself to him. Wouldn't that disgust Father? Zhu Yun is a smart man with some ability. Che Hongliang also values him very much, but his sister is too impatient, which makes Zhu Yun look bad in front of His Majesty.
"You are joking, my brother. If this matter were handed over to you, you would definitely surpass it."
"The prince is embarrassed."
The two men complimented each other and were equally matched.
Some princes following behind were watching the situation develop. Now the Crown Prince is clearly in an advantageous position, but Zhu Yun has the support of the Queen and Che Hongliang, so his strength should not be underestimated!
In addition, the entire family of Prince Hou was suddenly wiped out, and the situation suddenly became confusing.
As an emperor, Zhu Chengxuan came here to relax, see how the princes perform, and of course to favor the concubines. After all, this was also a chance for them. Although it was impossible to treat them equally, at least they could deflower as many as they could, so that they would not die with their virginity intact.
"The hunt has officially begun! Princes, get ready!" Following the order from Emperor Zhu Chengxuan, hundreds of princes began to prepare to enter.
The wives of these princes also began to worry. Although the spiritual beasts in Changlin were of low level, accidents might happen.
You know! Every hunt will result in death! Maybe these women don't know that they were not killed by spirit beasts, but by these half-brothers. The royal family is so cruel.
As an emperor, he saw it but did not stop it. If a world is not gained through fighting, how can it still be called a world?
Batch after batch of princes passed away, and little princes were born continuously. The gods who had very long lives did not worry about the issue of offspring at all.
Zhu Zhengqing is the crown prince, the leader of the entire faction. Although he has lost Wu Ma'an, his powerful arm, his younger brothers' families still have considerable influence. It seems he needs to think carefully about this.
"Prince, why don't we have a competition?" Zhu Yun, who was riding on Bai Rong's horse, smiled at Zhu Zhengqing, followed by dozens of princes.
And there are quite a few on Zhu Zhengqing's side as well.
"Royal brother, I think you said the same thing last year." Zhu Zhengqing said calmly, without even looking at Zhu Yun, with deep sarcasm in his words.
"Your Highness is right, but I have been training for a year and hope to catch up with you."
Zhu Zhengqing chuckled and said, "Royal brother, even if you practice for another hundred years, you can't catch up with this prince. Go!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhengqing led a group of princes into Changlin, and the dust immediately flew up. Zhu Yun's eyes flashed coldly, and he shouted, "Go!"
When the princes of these two factions left, there were still dozens of princes left. They were people who did not want to fight and wanted freedom.
So he entered Changlin at a leisurely pace, hunted some small animals on the outskirts, and then went back to report.
After Zhu Zhengqing rushed into Changlin, he did not walk inside, but walked around the periphery for most of the time before stopping.
"Prince! I'm afraid Zhu Yun is going to kill him!" This man's name is Zhu Di. Apart from Wu Ma'an, he is the only person Zhu Zhengqing trusts.
Zhu Zhengqing sneered: "After so many years of killing, has he ever succeeded?"
"Your Highness, you'd better be careful." Zhu Di warned him. It's better to be safe than sorry. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo in military strategy! However, Zhu Zhengqing seemed to have forgotten the lesson he learned three days ago.
"My fellow royal brothers, warm up outside first, and then follow me in to kill the most powerful spirit beast, so that father can see our ability to cooperate!" Zhu Zhengqing exuded the prince's majesty and shouted at the people behind him to boost morale.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
On the other side, Zhu Yun and his men also made a small circle toward the periphery before stopping.
This time! We must kill the prince! Of course, we can’t kill him openly, we have to pretend that he was killed by a spirit beast.
"Brother Emperor, we must win this time!" A handsome man came out riding a magic horse. His name was Zhu Zhu, and he was Zhu Yun's right-hand man.
Zhu Yun said in a deep voice: "If we don't succeed this time, we will die! It's time to replace the crown prince!"
"My royal brother is right. How can this Zhu Zhengqing be so virtuous and capable? He spends his days in debauchery. I don't know what the royal father sees in him!"
"Even if you have taken a fancy to something, you will unfortunately die under the big stick of the spirit beast today!" Zhu Yun showed a murderous intent, as if he had a grudge against his father.
After saying that, Zhu Yun led his men directly into the depths of Changlin, apparently intending to set up an ambush first!
Those on the periphery are some ordinary small spirit animals, such as rabbits, deer and so on, and they are not aggressive.
But as we go deeper, the spirit beasts become more lethal, but the strongest ones here are only high-level spirit beasts.
Just like ordinary people and tigers and lions, there will not be a dinosaur level.
Therefore, they do not pose much threat to these princes. After all, the weapons in their hands are ancient divine weapons. As for ancient divine weapons, they are very rare things.
However, there may be unexpected existences in the depths of Changlin, such as high-level ancient beasts, which may require teamwork to kill, or a little Loli with two ponytails, waiting for prey.
