To climb to the top of Wenshan Mountain, in addition to taking the mountain roads on both sides, you can also take the man-made sloping steps in the mountain. Some officials and family members who did not participate in the hunting can go up the mountain via the steps. They can first wait at the platform at the top of the mountain.

There was also a small paddock arranged by Emperor Chu in advance for them to play, but it was filled with small prey such as hares.

Zhongli whispered to Situ Xi, telling him to pay attention to safety when hunting, and then followed Li up the sloping steps.

"Brother Situ, let's go and fight for the so-called Ganoderma lucidum. The spring hunting in Chu State is really interesting."

Chen Pu and Chen Zhisu came over with three well-equipped guards. Situ Xi greeted them, and the four of them followed the large army to the entrance on the left.

"Each group can only bring five followers up the mountain." Two soldiers in armor blocked the road with halberds and explained the rules to everyone.

"Brother Situ, I will go up first." Zuo Mingli, who was on the hillside, saw Situ Xi who was stopped, nodded to him, and rode away with Zuo Chenyan and the other two young masters.

Zuo Mingche and Zuo Minghu had already gone up the mountain.

"Only five people can be brought?" Situ Xi looked at Chen Pu and gave him a questioning look.

"Brother Situ, these three guards of mine are all good men. I want to take them all with me." Chen Pu and Chen Zhisu looked at each other, then with a slight apology in their eyes, they expressed their thoughts to Situ Xi.

"Then Qixian and Juzheng, please follow me up the mountain. The rest of you will stay." Situ Xi looked at Bai Manjun and others who were following behind him and ordered. He could understand Chen Pu's request, and his own safety must be left in the hands of familiar and familiar people.

Someone you can trust.

"No, I have to follow." Pudie disagreed with this decision, and Hua Yaoying asked her to protect the safety of the new envoy at all times.

But Bai Manjun grabbed her and shook his head slightly at her. She knew very well that in terms of force, Pudie was no match for Qixian and Mu Juzheng.

"Brother Mo, is this okay?" Situ Xi turned to look at Zhong Limo.

"Of course, the guards my father found for me are probably not as skilled as these two." Zhong Limo agreed happily. The guards behind him showed a slightly embarrassed and unconvinced look on their faces, but they did not dare to disobey their young master's order.

"Hounds are not counted in the quota, are they?" Situ Xi looked at Xiaoli, who was being held in Mu Ju's arms, and then asked the soldier blocking the road.

"Of course it doesn't count." The soldier nodded and replied.

"I knew I would have brought a hundred or so." Zhong Limo said regretfully, and the corner of the soldier's mouth twitched.

Grabbing their weapons, everyone rode into the forest.

As soon as he came up, Situ Xi felt how big Wenshan Mountain was and how vast the mountains and fields were. He could no longer see the figures of the teams coming up in front of him.

Everyone rode their horses and walked deeper.

"To get Ganoderma lucidum, you have to climb to the top. Does Fuyu know the road to Wenshan?"

There was no prey in the area in front of him. Chen Zhisu held the horse rope in one hand and turned his attention to Situ Xi, while Situ Xi turned his head and looked at Zhong Limo.

"Brother-in-law, this is the first time I have heard the name of Wenshan today. This is a deserted wilderness. I have never passed by here, let alone went up the mountain." Zhong Limo also widened his eyes. You ask me,

Then who should I ask?

"Sister, there is a sign here." Chen Pu reminded, and Situ Xi immediately saw the sign "Here goes forward" scrawled in ink on the ground.

With the direction indicated, everyone continued to move forward along the mountain road. After riding for about a quarter of an hour, Situ Xi suddenly found that the entrance to the slope in front of him was also blocked by several soldiers in armor, just like at the foot of the mountain.

With.

There was a plaque placed in front of them, which read: When going up the mountain, you must pay a deer, a sheep, and a rabbit.

It turns out that's the case. Situ Xi suddenly realized that it turned out to be a level-breaking mode. This Emperor of Chu really knew how to play. It seemed that he was competing to see who could pass the most levels within the specified time.

"Interesting, interesting." Chen Pu was also happy, "Then what are you waiting for, Brother Situ, I didn't see those people who came before here, and I didn't see any blood along the way. I guess there aren't many prey outside, so let's go there too

Go deep."

After saying this, he whipped the horse and accelerated forward, and the others immediately followed.

…

"Uu——"

On the hillside of Wenshan Mountain, Zuo Mingche had already passed the first level. He shouted loudly to stop his horse, put the arrow back into the quiver, dismounted with his bow and walked to a green snake that had been hit by an arrow.

There were several dead birds and foxes around the snake.

"Brother He, thank you for driving these prey to Gu."

Zuo Mingche looked back at a young man wearing mink fur behind him and thanked him.

"Your Highness is being polite. We have already gathered our prey, and we happened to see His Highness here so we stopped by to help."

The young man also waved his hand, and the two exchanged glances with a smile. There were a dozen people standing on their side. If Situ Xi were present, he would definitely severely criticize their illegal team formation.

"Your Highness should only be missing one elk, so I'll go up first and wait for you at the top." The young man surnamed He looked at the prey collected by Zuo Mingche and saw that only the simpler ones were left.

Then he asked Zuo Mingche to resign.

"Okay, I'll be here right away." Zuo Mingche nodded and rode towards the forest again.

"Sir, thank you for asking He Chu to help. His team is really efficient."

Zuo Mingche rode a horse and walked side by side with the middle-aged scribes under his command, with a slight smile on his face.

"The He family has been military commanders for generations, so his riding and shooting skills are naturally good. His companions are also in a similar situation...but they only help to drive the prey, and their success in capturing it depends on His Highness's arrows.

Technique."

"Hey, don't say these useless and far-fetched flattery. I just want to get that Ganoderma lucidum as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, just in case, I've also had someone hide some prey in a cave on the mountain in advance."

"Sir, I can rest assured when doing things." Zuo Mingche grinned, and in the blink of an eye he suddenly saw a lying elk under the tree in front of him.

"Oh? It seems that Gu is really lucky today, and this little deer has come to look for Gu by himself."
