Chapter 507 Prey

Fang Zilan took the first trip to Tiancheng Mountain for two days, but did not go hunting with everyone. She still enjoyed the scenery and wandered around like last year, which was quite leisurely.

It was not until the third day that the spring hunt officially kicked off. According to the rules, all officials, whether civil and military officials, must enter the hunting ground. Fang Zilan slowly followed everyone with a casual look.

Through the crowd, Li Shengxuan looked back at Fang Zilan. Although he could not see any strangeness, for some reason he always felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

Suddenly, Li Shengxuan remembered that on the road that day, Fang Zilan had asked him if he had visited the Duke of Yue when she was in a coma. He nodded at that time, so she said, "Even if it is for this kind of wish, it will not make your Majesty embarrassed."

Do you feel attentively? Li Shengxuan repeatedly recited this word, and a wry smile appeared on his lips that was not easy to detect. Does Fang Zilan really understand his feelings?

"Your Majesty." Xiahou Zhang's voice pulled back Li Shengxuan's thoughts. He respectfully presented the vermilion-feathered arrow, "At the beginning of the spring hunt, please ask Your Majesty to dig the arrow."

Li Shengxuan took the feather arrow, pulled the bow and took the arrow neatly, and shot the first arrow of spring hunt amid the cheers of everyone.

Then everyone scattered and looked for their prey. When Li Shengxuan looked at it carefully, Fang Zilan quietly disappeared.

Xiahou Zhang deliberately lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, do you want me..."

"No need." Li Shengxuan intercepted Xiahou Zhang's words and said firmly: "I believe her." After that, he entered the forest without looking back.

As for Fang Zilan, she followed Chen Xu from a distance for a long time, and saw him riding his horse, shaking and almost falling down. She couldn't help but frown.

"Why is Lord Fang here?" A gentle voice came from Fang Zilan's left. She subconsciously tightened the reins of the horse and looked at Zhuge Yu, the person who was walking to her horse and blocking her view inadvertently.

"Why is Ayu here?" Fang Zilan asked without answering a question, and Zhuge Yu said indifferently: "It's the same purpose as Lord Fang."

Fang Zilan's expression became a little cold. Before he could say anything, he heard Zhuge Yu say to himself: "Isn't Lord Fang coming for prey?"

The word prey was spoken from Zhuge Yu, and it was quite a pun. Fang Zilan pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know what kind of prey is so strange that it can actually catch A Yu's eyes?"

"Master Fang was joking." Zhuge Yu said with interest: "Compared to my prey, I am more curious about what it is to let Master Fang track the prey along the way?"

"A Yu knew it very well, so there was no need to have a puzzle with me." Fang Zilan was too lazy to go around with him. After saying this, she whipped her horse and headed towards Chen Xu.

However, Zhuge Yu was standing in front of her without any intention of giving in. "Sister Lan, the Censorate may be biased, but speaking out for advice has always been the responsibility of the Censor, you cannot..."

"Since A Yu knows that the Censorate is biased, he shouldn't stop me." Fang Zilan interrupted Zhuge Yu's words in a deep voice, without regard to his love for Sister Lan.

"But if Sister Lan is the one who is here today, no one in the Censorate will dare to speak out in the future." Zhuge Yu refused to retreat and insisted on reason: "The rumors will eventually be self-defeating, but if the people who dare to speak are gone, it will be difficult for them to have any more. Everyone is in danger and is silent. In the long run, the court atmosphere will be worrying."

"It's hard to have someone else if you lose them." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "A Yu thought I was going to kill him?"

Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, but saw Fang Zilan pulling the bow and placing an arrow in one go. The arrow pointed at Chen Xu in a cold light, "Then I'll kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu called out to himself. According to Fang Zilan's submission, she had no intention of killing Chen Xu, perhaps just threatening and intimidating, but now she was so aroused by him that she seemed to be really going to take action.

"Sister Lan can't!"

"Sister Lan's arrow is left behind!"

Zhuge Yu and Mo Han's voices sounded at the same time. The former was in front of Fang Zilan, but there was no way to do anything, while the latter rushed from behind Fang Zilan, and there was no time to dissuade him.

The two of them watched the feather arrows leave the string and go straight towards Chen Xu. The sound of breaking through the air suddenly came, so fast that Chen Xu had no time to react. He felt a severe pain in his shoulders, and then screamed and fell off his horse.

The birds in the forest were so shocked by the scream that they flapped away, but the branches and leaves were shaking. Others who participated in the spring hunting in the forest were attracted by the sound here and rushed over.

Fang Zilan held a bow in her left hand and an arrow in her right hand. Although the arrow was not stringed, there was a dangerous aura in her hand.

Everyone surrounded Fang Zilan and did not dare to go forward. Chen Xu covered his shoulders and climbed up in a mess. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw Fang Zilan's feather arrow pointing at him again. He was so scared that he fell back. He had a close contact with the earth, and he screamed again after falling.

When Li Shengxuan arrived, he happened to hear Chen Xu's second scream. He looked at him briefly and saw that there was no missing arms or legs. Not only was he angry, but he could also scream like this in a full voice. He thought to himself that Fang Zilan really gave him face.

When the censors watching saw Li Shengxuan coming, they didn't wait for Su Yun to speak first, and then asked Fang Zilan first: "Duke Yue, what are you doing?"

"I haven't practiced for a long time, and my hands are a little raw." Fang Zilan said, and took the bow and arrow lightly, with a arrogant tone almost provocative.

"Duke Yue, you..." Several censors were stunned and choked for a long time by her appearance. Instead, Su Yun said: "Duke Yue is a man who fights on the battlefield, and this excuse is too clumsy."

He exposes Fang Zilan mercilessly, but sees her curl up the corners of her lips and smiles: "If the world is not peaceful, who is willing to fight on the battlefield? Lord Su, are you willing?"

This question was so direct and cold that Su Yun pursed his lips, "I..." He didn't dare to answer, but he didn't want to see his colleagues around him being angry for nothing. When he was speaking, he heard Fang Zilan say word by word:

"It is not my original wish to fight on the battlefield, but it is my ability to be inferior to ten thousand people. I cannot be told just because I am a woman. There are many civil and military wives and concubines in the court. I have never seen any censor who has submitted a book. Why did I get more than the number of people in the mansion when I got here? I just wanted to keep the Duke Yue's mansion, but it was actually a mistake. If I were really at the mercy of others and obedient, I would not be Fang Zilan now."

Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it clearly. Her extremely sharp words and expressions were all revealed to everyone-

She is the Duke of Yue in Dajing, and even more so Fang Zilan. She is a living person, and she has everything she defends, and is definitely not a name in their memorials or rumors.

It would never be possible to want her to be the person they imagined to be restricted by rules, as if she were prey in this hunting ground.

Fang Zilan: I am really an atypical heroine...
