The third prince is going hunting today, which is a big event in the prince's mansion.
Early this morning, a flying boat parked on the square in the prince's palace. Compared with the various luxurious flying boats in Taixia, the flying boat docked in the square in the prince's palace was only over a hundred meters long and gray-white in color.
The whole shape is like a sturgeon, which looks very agile. This kind of flying boat is a hunting outfit exclusive to the Taixia royal family, and is also exclusive to the princes for hunting trips.
When Lan Yunxi and Elder Mu Yu arrived at the Prince's Mansion, everything in the Prince's Mansion was basically ready. Under the arrangement of the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, the two met with Xuanyuan Xuanyuan Wuji. After that, everyone boarded the flying boat together.
, then the flying boat took off from the prince's residence and flew towards the east of Datang City.
This hunting trip was light and simple for Xuanyuan Wuji, but even so, Xuanyuan Wuji brought more than a hundred people on the trip, which felt a bit majestic. In addition to the four knight guards and Master Xue beside him,
, as well as sixty or seventy guards and attendants, a bunch of servant chefs, and even a beast master in the prince's palace.
The servant chefs are naturally responsible for cooking the freshest game, and the beast master is a must-have figure for such occasions. If the prince travels, if he cannot catch the prey, he will be disappointed, and if there is a beast master,
, then no matter what, the prince will not be disappointed and return home.
In those remote sub-continents, such a lineup can almost overwhelm every small country on the sub-continent, but in Taixia, this is just a hunting team for the prince.
The hunting place is at Longhu Mountain in Jinghe County. Longhu Mountain is more than 700 kilometers away from Datang City. The entire Longhu Mountain is thousands of miles away. After Xuanyuan Wuji was granted the title of Datang City, it was bought by Xuanyuan Wuji.
And built the Longhu Villa on Longhu Mountain, which became Xuanyuan Wuji's summer resort and a leisure place for hunting in winter.
The distance of 700 kilometers is a bit far for ordinary people, but if you take a flying boat, it won't take an hour, and it will be almost there in about forty minutes.
…
"Why, is Miss Lan feeling unwell today?"
On the flying boat, Xuanyuan Wuji's eyes fell on Lan Yunxi's face, and he seemed to ask with some concern.
Today, Lan Yunxi seems to be in a low mood, and her face is not very good. She has not talked much since arriving at the prince's residence, and it was the same after boarding the flying boat. A group of important people were sitting in the flying boat, and Lan Yunxi looked at it with confused eyes.
The snowy landscape of the earth flowed by outside the flying boat. His mouth was tightly pursed, as if he was thinking about something, and he had no interest in talking at all.
Contrary to Lan Yunxi, Xuanyuan Wuji seems to be in a particularly high mood today. He is wearing a heroic blue outfit and tiger-skin hunting boots. Several guards around him also bring him a few pots of arrows.
Bag, as well as a foggy bow and arrow, sitting on the flying boat. On the way to Longhu Mountain, Xuanyuan Wuji played with the bow and arrow in his hand while talking to Master Xue beside him, discussing how spring would come from the Prince's Mansion.
The matter of lending grain to various cities in Jinghe County is like a promising leader who is also benefiting the world.
After talking to Master Xue for a while, Xuanyuan Wuji turned his attention to Lan Yunxi when he saw that Lan Yunxi had not spoken for a long time.
"The taste of food in Datang City is a little different from that in Youzhou. Miss has been a little acclimatized in Datang City for the past two days, so she is a little tired!"
After waiting for two seconds and seeing that Lan Yunxi did not speak, Elder Mu Yu spoke for Lan Yunxi.
If Lan Yunxi was just in a low mood today, Elder Mu Yu's face was equally gloomy. There was no smile on his face from the moment he entered the Prince's Mansion.
For ordinary people, the reason of being acclimatized is okay, but for a knight like Lan Yunxi, the so-called incompatibility of diet and acclimatization is just a decent reason.
"The rules in the prince's palace are that whoever His Highness speaks to can speak. His Highness was asking Miss Lan just now, so Elder Mu Yu had better not interrupt!"
That day, Jiang Feng, who showed off to Elder Mu Yu in the prince's residence, looked at Elder Mu Yu with a piercing gaze, and said with a smile on his face.
Elder Mu Yu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but stand up...
"What Elder Mu Yu said is what I said!" Lan Yunxi opened her mouth, turned her head, and gave Jiang Feng a cold look with sharp eyes, "Although our Huaiyuantang is not a royal noble, we can at least entertain guests.
There are still some etiquette, at least. We, the guards and servants of Huaiyuantang, did not let any guards or servants interrupt in the middle when the master was talking to the guests. We did not understand any rules. Could it be that this is also the rule in the prince's house...
"Hahaha, this time we go hunting, we are not in the prince's palace, so don't talk about so many rules. From now on we are all a family, it will be good if we get to know each other..." Xuanyuan Wuji laughed, waved his hand, and suppressed both sides.
He stopped, then looked at Lan Yunxi with a smile, "I originally thought you wouldn't speak all day, but you couldn't help but speak!"
"Bow skills are martial arts passed down from the ancestors of the Zhang family. Almost everyone in the Taixia Zhang family has bow skills passed down to their families. Huaiyuantang inherited them from Duke Huaiyuan. Duke Huaiyuan ruled the roost with bows. I have been learning to use bows and arrows since I was a child.
There are too many, so I am not interested in this hunting matter, please forgive me!" Lan Yunxi said calmly.
"Oh, really, I almost forgot!" Xuanyuan Wuji smiled, "Originally, there was a grand event on Taixia Ten Thousand Miles of Desert Sea today. Unfortunately, as a prince, I can't leave Fengjun easily. Otherwise, before
If it takes a few days, I can catch up today. That Qianji Zhenjun is also from Huaiyuan Hall, but it seems that Qianji Zhenjun is not good at bow skills, but the flying spear in his hand is powerful in Taixia!"
Lan Yunxi's face was expressionless, "Not every descendant of Duke Huaiyuan can inherit the talent and bloodline of Duke Huaiyuan!"
"Indeed!" Xuanyuan Wuji nodded and continued to smile, "I heard that Jin Quan Dao also opened a bet in the Gobi Yin Sea for this contest between Qian Ji Zhenjun and the three major sects. I wonder if Miss Lan wants to place a bet.
, who will you bet on to win?”
"Qianji Zhenjun has nothing to do with Huaiyuantang now, and Huaiyuantang no longer pays attention to anything about him!"
"Really, I'm relieved, Lan!" Xuanyuan Wuji was still smiling. He turned his head and looked at Master Xue as he spoke, "How many elemental crystals can I still use now?"
"There are about 10,000 earth element crystals and water element crystals each!" Master Xue, who had never spoken much and was as quiet as if he didn't exist, only spoke when Xuanyuan Wuji asked.
Both Lan Yunxi and Elder Mu Yu, after meeting Master Xue, instinctively regarded him as one of Xuanyuan Wuji's staff and did not pay much attention to such a person.
"The battle on the other side of the Gobi Sea has probably not started yet!"
"It shouldn't have started yet, the war is in Shenshi!"
"Okay, then let's contact Jin Quan Dao and stake the earth element crystal and water element crystal in my hand, and bet on the side Miss Lan's sect belongs to to win!" Until this time, Xuanyuan Wuji still had a smile on his face.
Smiling.
But after hearing such words, Elder Mu Yu's heart tightened and he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly. Lan Yunxi turned his head again and looked at the scenery outside the flying boat without saying a word.
, it’s just that the graceful side face and neck look as clear and white as ice sculptures at this time...
…
After the small interlude, everyone didn't stay on the flying boat for long, and the flying boat had already flown to Longhu Villa.
Everyone got off the flying boat, and the villa had already prepared more than a hundred sacred rhinoceros horses and more than twenty hunting dogs.
Xuanyuan Wuji's rhinoceros horse is a top-quality mutant breed that is even more majestic. It is completely black, with only four hooves being white. Among all the rhinoceros horses, there is a matching rhinoceros horse next to it.
The rhinoceros horse is all white. It is Lan Yunxi's mount. Among all the horses, the two rhinoceros horses stand out from the crowd and are incomparably matched.
The third prince and his party got off the flying boat and mounted their horses directly.
When getting on the horse, perhaps due to some directness of a woman, Lan Yunxi felt a strange gaze staring at her from behind her. She turned her head suddenly, only to see that the gaze came from only one person, that
This person is none other than the beast master wearing fox fur in the prince's residence.
Lan Yunxi was slightly stunned. She had seen the beast master before boarding the flying boat. He was a big man in his forties with a slightly curly head. He was a mixture of Chinese and foreign races. He had a sinister face and was very unpleasant.
When Lan Yunxi turned around, the beast master had already avoided her gaze, riding the rhinoceros horse, and ran forward, letting out a long whistle.
Amidst the whistle, a large snow-white eagle suddenly emerged from the clouds in the sky, flew over the crowd, circled in a circle, and then flew towards the distance. The hunting dogs that had been prepared in the villa also
One by one, like an arrow from a string, they barked and rushed up the opposite hillside and pine forest. The beast master rushed out behind the hounds, followed by more than a hundred riders around Xuanyuan Wuji.
The iron hooves of more than a hundred sacred rhinoceros horses instantly shattered the tranquility of Longhu Mountain and rushed into the forest.
In just a short time, several wild boars were driven out of the forest by ferocious hounds.
Xuanyuan Wuji laughed loudly, riding on the rhinoceros horse, drawing his arm and drawing a bow, and from a distance of more than 300 meters, he shot an arrow through the head of a majestic wild boar...
…
Half an hour later, pheasants, wild boars, antelopes, and more and more were harvested in the team of the Prince's Mansion. More than twenty animals of various kinds had fallen to the arrows of Xuanyuan Wuji and a group of people.
Among them, Lan Yunxi only shot one arrow. The arrow she shot came first, and shot one of Xuanyuan Wuji's guards at a doe who was bringing a few fawns out for food. The arrow was shot in the air.
Come down.
After Lan Yunxi shot the arrow, Xuanyuan Wuji laughed loudly and did not blame him, and everyone continued hunting.
…
"Your Highness, in the forest ahead, there are traces of a rare mutated iron-clawed tiger..."
We had just hunted a snow fox, and the beast control master from the prince's residence turned back from the front and ran to Xuanyuan Wuji to report.
Jiangzhou is one of the nine great states of Taixia. It has a large population and cities. Over the past few hundred years, those powerful and ferocious beasts and monsters in the wild have been wiped out. In this case, the mutated iron claw
The tiger can already be regarded as a very rare beast and an absolute king in the mountains and forests of Jiangzhou. Its combat power is almost comparable to that of a ninth-level warrior. Xuanyuan Wuji has been hunting here for several years, but he has never caught such a tiger.
Fierce beasts, when Xuanyuan Wuji heard what the beast master said, he suddenly became interested. With a wave of his hand, he led a group of people and rushed directly into the forest that the beast master said.
…
Ten minutes later, on a hill, Xuanyuan Wuji dismounted and squatted on the ground, looking at the bright bloodstains on the snow and the torn and broken corpses of several hounds. After the corpses and bloodstains,
Several deep claw marks of beasts were clearly visible in the snow, extending all the way into the woods. More than a hundred rhinoceros horses had become anxious when they came here. Each rhinoceros horse was in the original place.
The ground was spinning, already somewhat dissatisfied with the driving force.
Xuanyuan Wuji waved his hand, and everyone, including Master Xue, dismounted and walked into the forest.
"Ah, the road ahead is not easy. Does Mr. Xue want to go too?" Seeing that Mr. Xue wanted to go forward with the team, Elder Mu Yu gave a kind reminder.
"It's okay. Thank you Elder Mu Yu for your concern. I've been staying in the prince's mansion for a long time. It's good to go out for a walk and exercise. I can still hold on with my body!" Master Xue smiled harmlessly and took a breath.
He rubbed his hands, and then followed Xuanyuan Wuji's pace while panting.
Seeing this scene, Elder Mu Yu said nothing.
After walking for more than 20 minutes in the forest, following the traces left by the Iron-clawed Tiger, everyone walked out of the woods and came to a stone mound. When they got here, the ground was already covered with large and small gravels, and there was no trace of accumulation on the gravels.
Snow and the traces of the iron-clawed tiger also disappeared.
"Your Highness, be careful..."
Xuanyuan Wuji was walking at the front, looking for traces of the iron-clawed tiger, but the iron-clawed tiger had already appeared on a cliff in the stone hillock. With a roar, it fiercely charged towards Xuanyuan Wuji from a height of more than thirty meters.
Pounce over.
Xuanyuan Wuji's reaction was also as fast as lightning. Just as the Iron-clawed Tiger pounced, he already had a long bow in his hand. Halfway through the Iron-clawed Tiger pounce, the longbow in his hand was already rounded, and then an arrow shot out with lightning, directly from the tiger's eye.
Pour into it.
The iron-clawed tiger changed from jumping to falling. At the moment when everyone relaxed, the face of Master Xue, who had been panting all the time, suddenly changed.
The fallen Iron Claw Tiger shattered in the air like a broken bag, turning into a rain of blood all over the sky. In this rain of blood, a bloody figure emerged from the belly of the Iron Claw Tiger.
Like lightning, a spike in his hand, with endless murderous intent, went straight to Xuanyuan Wuji's throat...
