I didn't understand why Xie Yan was so hostile to Xie Xing, so I could only open the corners of his lips in embarrassment, smile flatteringly, and coax softly, "Okay, I get it, it's all my fault."

"I will definitely be thousands of miles away from Xie Xing!"

Xie Yan looked at me condescendingly, his gray eyes were dark, much like the strange eyes of some kind of snake, cold and gloomy. After a long time, he showed mercy and said, "Follow me."

How dare I disobey, so I hurriedly followed him.

The process of the summer banquet was nothing more than some competitions in horseback riding, archery and martial arts. Although the emperor said that fun came first and competition came second, he obviously took this opportunity to examine the qualifications of the royal family's children and select the most useful talents among them.

My little horse-riding skills as a three-legged cat couldn't be put on the stage at all, and I didn't even have a chance to compete. However, Xie Yan stole the show in various competitions.

First in horse riding, first in archery, first in swordsmanship, first in everything, everyone in the audience was amazed. Even the emperor, who was so strict and cold, couldn't help but smile proudly as a father.

After all the formal competitions were over, the emperor became interested again and said with a smile, "Everyone performed very well today, but I still want to see who can hunt this big insect in the jungle."

When he talked about this big insect, there was a bit of emotion in his tone, and he sighed, "I remember that when the late emperor was still in power, he liked the pattern of this big insect very much, and always wanted to use its fur to make body fur. But.

The big insect is fierce and hard to find, so we have never found it."

"In the end, it was me who lay dormant in the jungle on this mountain for three days and three nights before I finally captured that eye-catching insect. Now that I think about it, it has been many years."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at each other with different expressions.

No matter how stupid I am, I can still understand what the emperor meant. When the late emperor wanted to use giant insects to make furs, the former emperor hunted them for him. Now, going around and around, the next person who hunts giant insects will also be there.

A chance to become the master of this world?

The emperor's words were like a huge stone falling into the calm water, causing a storm. Even Xie Xing, who had not performed well just now, looked solemn and immediately rushed to the jungle with his entourage.

Xie Yan got on his horse. There was no expression on his face, but I was a little nervous for him.

He is the crown prince personally named by the emperor, and the most legitimate successor in the future. If he fails to hunt this big bug today and lets others take the lead, I am afraid he will be criticized and make people talk.

"Get on the horse." Seeing that I was still in a daze, Xie Yan said calmly.

I looked around and found that there was only Xie Yan riding a tall horse in front of me, not my horse.

I wanted to find a horse, but suddenly I felt blessed. Xie Yan didn't prepare a horse for me, but let me get on the horse. Wasn't it just to give me a chance to ride on the same horse as him?

My heart was beating wildly, and my face was a little hot. I was thinking about the most handsome way to mount the horse, but Xie Yan suddenly bent down and wrapped his long arms around me. I felt a tightness in my waist, but in an instant, I was

The whole person fell on the horse in shock and sat in front of Xie Yan.

Xie Yan and I are riding the same horse!

Xie Yan and I are riding the same horse!

Xie Yan and I are riding the same horse!

Countless happy words rushed through my heart, and even my breathing became hot. Compared to my fuss, Xie Yan was much calmer. He put one hand around my waist, held the reins with the other, and said softly, "

Sit tight."

Before I had time to react, the horse ran straight towards the jungle. I quickly grabbed Xie Yan's arm to steady myself.

Seeing my flustered behavior, Xie Yan looked down on me even more and said coldly, "Trash."

Well, it seems that in Xie Yan's heart, I am just a useless snack who can't ride a horse and is very timid. That's why he didn't even bother to prepare a horse for me. My self-esteem was hurt and I felt a little bit sad.

As the horse walked, the dark cloak on Xie Yan's shoulders rustled with the running wind. His expression was cold and his brows were deep, like a god riding on the wind.

The galloping horses shuttled through the green jungle, startling the birds perched on the trees. They flapped their wings and flew into the blue sky. The horses' hooves splashed the dust on the ground, like riding on yellow wind waves.

I looked to the side and realized that Xie Yan did not bring many guards with him on this trip, but only dozens of people were following behind him. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

As a prince, Xie Yan has a distinguished status. Even if the place is heavily fortified, he should not only bring these guards.

But my attention was quickly attracted by a sika deer that appeared in the distance. It stood proudly with its head raised. The pattern all over its body was gorgeous and colorful, its antlers pointed at the sky, but its eyes were clear and bright. I couldn't help but take a picture.

Patting Xie Yan's hand, "Xie Yan, look, that deer is so beautiful."

Xie Yan ignored me, and I quickly looked back at him, but the tip of my nose accidentally bumped into his chest. The pain instantly brought tears to my eyes, "Are you made of stone? You are so hard."

"Idiot." Xie Yan was too lazy to pay attention to me. He pulled the reins and the horse ran very fast, chasing the wildly running sika deer.

The sika deer walked in a very cunning and hidden direction. Seeing that it was getting further and further away from the camp where it was stationed, even an unprepared person like me felt uneasy, but Xie Yan had a strange way of walking into darkness.

"Thank you, this place is too far from the racecourse. Let's go back. I'm worried there will be danger."

As soon as I finished speaking, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard not far away, and countless arrows whizzed towards me and Xie Yan.

I was so scared that I closed my eyes and trembled all over. Fortunately, those arrows were knocked away by the sword in Xie Yan's hand, and both of us were unscathed.

I opened my eyes, and before I had time to secretly rejoice, I saw many masked warriors dressed in black rushing out of the jungle. They held sharp swords and rushed towards Xie Yan. Xie Yan covered me tightly with his cloak and hugged me.

He asked me to get off my horse.

"Kill the dog prince and leave the others alone!"

The men in black shouted and came forward. When Xie Yan saw this, he threw me directly to the guards behind him and fought with the men in black alone.

Xie Yan's swordsmanship was far superior to that of the man in black. Although he had few guards, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts. The man in black gradually fell into a disadvantage. I was just about to let go when I saw a man in black coming from behind.

Xie Yan came closer from behind, but Xie Yan seemed completely unaware.

Although I don't know kung fu, with Xie Yan's agility just now, there's no way he wouldn't be able to notice the danger behind him. However, Xie Yan didn't even look back. I couldn't care less about the doubts in my heart and ran in a panic.

passed.

I originally thought I could restrain the man in black who made a sneak attack, but I overestimated my own three-legged cat kung fu. When the man in black scratched my arm with his sword, I saw his pupils tremble and he seemed very surprised.

This is what happens.

It's really strange.

When Xie Yan heard my footsteps, he immediately turned around, but it was too late. He could only watch the sword slice through my arm, and the gurgling blood dyed my riding clothes red.

I saw a moment of confusion on Xie Yan's face, followed by anger.

Yes, it's anger. I have never seen such strong emotions in Xie Yan. He was always very indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with others dying in front of him. Now, although I was injured, my eyes were open.

Xie Yan immediately protected me in his arms and stabbed the man in black with his sword without mercy.

Due to blood loss, my consciousness became increasingly blurred, but fortunately, the emperor received the news of the attack on the prince and came with a large number of guards in time to capture all the men in black who assassinated him.

Xie Yan hugged me, maybe because the blood was flowing very fast, I felt very cold all over. I clung to his clothes tightly in his arms and gradually lost consciousness.

Before I closed my eyes, I was lucky enough to see Xie Yan's slightly flustered expression. His gray eyes contained a rare version of me.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the tent stationed at the racecourse. It must have been nighttime, and the tent was lit with dim oil lamps.

Xie Yan was sitting on the wooden chair next to me. He seemed to be extremely tired, and his eyes were black and blue. He was holding a book in one hand and resting on the armrest of the wooden chair with the other. Even if he was falling asleep, he could not sleep peacefully. His brows were furrowed.

tight.

I wanted to drink some water, but I didn't want to disturb his rest. Although the injury on my arm hurt a little, my other arm, legs and feet were fine, so I stood up and wanted to pour some water.

But my movement woke Xie Yan up. When he opened his eyes, his cold gray pupils were suddenly filled with anger when he looked at me. His expression suddenly became ugly, and he stared at the tattoo on my arm.

Wound, "Feng Muqiu, go back."

I immediately became as obedient as a quail, retracted my legs from the bed, and hid myself under the quilt very obediently.

Xie Yan's eyes were fixed on my lips, and then he stood up and poured me a glass of water. I took the water, drank it all, and tried to get another glass, but Xie Yan took the glass away.

Open, the slightly cold fingertips suddenly pinched my chin.

He leaned down and was very close to me, so close that I could count the long and thick eyelashes on his face. The breath of his words fell gently on my face, giving me a terrible shiver.
