Zhu Wei asked Li Xuan to pay close attention to Du Rufeng, Xue Wei and the three crown princes. As for Wanyan Five, who was the most noble, he did not specifically remind Li Xuan to care. However, Li Xuan noticed that there were also some mysterious guards among the nobles.
They formed a protective circle around Wanyan V. If there were really people who were blind to assassinating the king, they would probably be cut into pieces before they could take action.
With a horn, the royal hunting competition began.
The annual royal hunting competition began with the initial establishment of the Spring and Autumn Empire. It is said that the founding monarch set this rule in order to prevent the nobles from losing their fighting spirit in their superior life day after day.
As a reward, the winner of the annual hunting competition will receive royal medals and even have the opportunity to serve as an important position as a guard of the royal court. Many nobles have trained boys' hunting ability since childhood, hoping to take this opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
As for the crown princes with inheritance, they also attach great importance to hunting competitions. In the hundreds of years of history of the Spring and Autumn Empire, the crown princes who have won the hunting competitions finally have a great chance of inheriting the throne.
It was precisely because of the opportunity brought by the hunting competition that when the horn sounded, every participating nobleman whipped his horse, rushed up and rushed into the wilderness.
The hunting ground is very large, with a grassland, two lakes, two dense forests, and even an artificial swamp and an artificial battlefield, just to simulate hunting in various environments.
In the hunting ground, thousands of animals of various types were stocked, each of which had corresponding points. The hunting time was three hours. When the time was cut off, the winner of the prey points was the winner of the hunting competition.
Li Xuan scoffed at the rules of the hunting competition. In his opinion, the reason for using hunting to maintain fighting spirit is ridiculous. If you really want the nobles to have fighting spirit, send them to the battlefield.
However, he still rushed into the hunting ground loyally and followed King Qi.
As the heir to the No. 1 ranking of the throne, King Qi attracted the most attention. He followed at least ten fully armed royal guards to form a protective net.
Li Xuan was behind him, and saw the King of Qi shaking, and seemed to fall off the speeding horse at any time. It seemed that this bookish prince was not very good at hunting and riding horses. He was really afraid that he would even have a prey.
Can't hunt.
"A group of hares were found in front of you!" A guard shouted excitedly. He was the outpost of King Qi, who was the leader of the prey.
Li Xuan was so amused that he could have any kind of servants. It was worth fuss about finding a group of hares. The founding emperor was really far-sighted. His descendants' bloodline was really exhausted under the hundreds of years of pampering.
It's right.
King Qi rode his horse toward the hare, and the bow and arrow in his hand shot out crookedly. The guards under his command also made a series of arrows. Li Xuan looked at him from a distance, thinking that such thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the group of hares would really die with their eyes closed.
Zhu Wei followed slowly and said with a smile: "The Prince of Qi is kind-hearted and is the future wise ruler in the eyes of many ministers."
There was a kind of sarcasm in her words and outside her words, and of course Li Xuan would not be unable to hear it. The so-called kind-hearted heart can be understood from another aspect as "indecisive and incompetent".
"Don't you take care of the second prince?" Li Xuan changed the subject and he was not interested in the royal dispute.
"The King of Jin is not an ordinary person. If anyone comes to him, he may be unlucky." Zhu Wei looked upright, and it seemed that she was a little afraid of the second prince.
The two of them chatted in a mess, with the King of Qi from afar. Seeing him hunting several groups of hares, one wild boar and three wild wolves with the help of the guards, they shouted excitedly.
"It's so boring." Li Xuan yawned. He regretted coming here with Zhu Wei. It was calm now, and there was no sign of an accident. I'm afraid it would be a waste of time.
"Will you still be bored with a beautiful girl accompany you?" Zhu Wei raised her eyebrows.
She was wearing a very formal guard costume today, but a purple belt was uniquely surrounded by her waist, making the dull clothes become gorgeous all of a sudden. Such formal attire made her lose a little.
Charming and gorgeous, but with a little more irresistible temptation of uniforms.
Li Xuan looked at her and couldn't help but secretly admire her. Such a beauty is really hard to find in the world. Logically speaking, almost all the women around him are the best in the world, but compared with Zhu Wei, there are really fewer differences.
Charm.
It was soon noon, and the King of Qi's team stopped by a lake and rested and started to have a meal.
Li Xuan and Zhu Wei stopped far away on a small hill, took out some light but boring dry food and chewed it.
"I think something is wrong." Li Xuan stared at the group of leisurely resting by the lake and suddenly said to Zhu Wei. He had a kind of uneasiness from his intuition, and seemed to have some dangerous aura around him, but he could only sense it.
but cannot touch the essence.
"What?" Zhu Wei was stunned. She stood up and looked around, but could not see any possibility of danger coming.
"You said the hunting competition is very important, but I see that King Qi is leisurely and doesn't seem to care about the results." Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
Zhu Wei hesitated: "The hunting competition is just a reference. The King of Qi is the first-ranked crown prince. Even if he can't hunt a hare, he will inherit the throne according to common sense."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Li Xuan said, his palm spread out, and a faint purple halo appeared on his palm. It was a rich ball of shadow spiritual power, which quickly condensed and turned into a crystal clear color.
A clear shadow bowl.
"What is this?" Zhu Wei asked in confusion.
"Look." Li Xuan put the bowl in front of Zhu Wei and asked her to look over.
Zhu Wei saw through the bowl, a group of people from the King of Qi on the lakeside. Their bodies were covered with a group of black auras, which looked very terrifying.
"That's..." Zhu Wei was shocked.
"That's murderous aura. Everyone's body will release some aura according to their emotions. Advanced monks can sense it, and I can also sense it." Li Xuan said, "They have a strong murderous aura on their bodies, but they only hunt for it.
Don’t you find it strange to kill so few prey?”
"I don't understand what you mean." Zhu Wei pursed her lips. She obviously thought of something uneasy, and she didn't know whether she dared or was unwilling to guess in that direction.
"If you don't want to mess up the matter, go and see what the other two are doing." Li Xuan stood up, and he decided more and more that something was going to happen.
Zhu Wei looked at Li Xuan meaningfully and whispered: "You go to the King of Jin. I am closer to the princess, so it's more convenient to go to her."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, identified the direction, and his body looked like a ghost, and disappeared in a flash. His speed was already very fast, and after training for sixteen times the gravity, it reached an incredible level.
Even when compared with the Earth, I am afraid it is a little better.
