Spring hunting is a traditional social activity of the imperial aristocracy to show that the Qin Dynasty built the country with force and never forgot the country's roots. Due to the differences in organizers, participants and hunting locations, it is divided into many categories.
The Tianxuan Spring Hunt that Qiqi is about to participate in is the lowest level, and is only for young nobles below level seven, including their entourage, which cannot exceed level seven.
There are two major spring hunting activities specially set up for those below the seventh level: Emperor Garden and Beihai. Among them, Beihai is on the same level as Tianxuan, while Emperor Garden is sponsored by the royal family and has the highest level. All the core heirs of the four great clans will be present, each.
Large aristocratic families will also send their direct descendants to participate. As for the noble families, except for a few young people with outstanding talents who will be invited individually, none of them are eligible to participate.
The threshold for the Tianxuan Spring Hunt is not that high. At the top of the list of participants this time are two sects, the Yanyun Zhao family and the Gaoling Song family. There are seventeen or eight upper-middle-class and lower-class aristocratic families, and nearly a hundred noble families.
Qianye stared at Song Zining's name for a while, and suddenly felt upset. He knew that the sequelae of the advanced blood energy were coming again. The ordinary blood energy was much stronger after the nine paths of blood energy were combined into one, and even the golden and purple blood energy could not be swallowed up, so he intermittently
The anxiety and restlessness actually affected Qianye's mood.
He let out a gentle breath, put down the information, walked into the quiet room next door and began to practice the art of military attack. More force can not only feed the normal blood energy, but also faintly restrain the blood energy in the body, making the boiling blood state more manageable.
control.
Two days later, a "Fenghong"-class aerostat capable of traveling between continents took off from outside Xichang, slowly leaving the Evernight Continent behind it and sailing into the vast void. The aerostat was shaped like a sea turret, and was as high as
The seven-story main building is mainly green and green, decorated with auspicious animals, full of ancient charm.
At this time, the atmosphere on the top floor of the building was tense. Qianye stood by the window, seemingly looking out the window, but his face was gloomy and full of anger. In front of him stood two timid girls in light shirts and hanging skirts, each holding a tray.
Qiqi, who is sitting on the couch at the other end, is smiling like a flower. She is wearing the traditional costume of an imperial noblewoman, with wide sleeves and a silk belt, with a dark black background decorated with aqua flowers. If her sitting posture could be more dignified, it would be
An out-and-out young lady from an aristocratic family. But she was leaning on the armrest without any manners, holding her chin with her right hand, looking up and down at Qianye.
"You promised to protect me!"
"I didn't agree to wear this kind of thing." Qianye glanced at the tray in the girl's hand with disgust. It was a set of clothes and accessories identical to those on Qiqi's body, that is, women's clothing!
Qiqi said with a smile: "Look, I specially chose this kind of ancient clothes. The difference between men's clothing and women's clothing is the left and right plackets! You can't tell it unless you look carefully. And it only takes the first day.
When we settle down, we won’t need to see anyone else!”
It turns out that according to the rules of spring hunting, although the followers and guards brought by Qiqi are large in number, they can only form a team of nine people after entering the hunting ground. The extra people are either for logistics or independent hunting.
The spring hunting lasts for one month, of which fifteen days involve going deep into the hunting grounds. Qiqi is the legitimate daughter of a noble family, so of course she cannot just hang out with a group of grown men. From an etiquette point of view, she must bring at least one female companion with her to eat and live with her.
On the list Qiqi submitted, the female companion was Qianye.
Qianye was deeply suspicious of this inexplicable etiquette.
Qiqi persuaded hard, "Look, Aunt Lan is at level 8 and can't participate in hunting. These girls are only at level 2 or 3. Entering the core area of the hunting ground will mean death. You promised to protect me!"
The effects of excessive blood intake in the past few days have not completely disappeared for Qianye, and he is particularly irritable and impatient. At this time, he no longer wants to argue with Qiqi, so he turns around and walks towards the door.
Qiqi jumped up and grabbed him, "I can't share a tent with other people! And if you want to sleep with me, if you don't say anything else, my old man will kill you."
Qianye retorted: "I changed into women's clothes, but I didn't really become a woman. We sleep in a tent, doesn't your old man know?"
"Of course he knows. It's not a big deal."
"Then you just said he was going to chop me."
Qiqi said: "All he cares about is the family tradition of the Yin family. As long as the person in the information and in front of everyone is a woman, then he will pretend that he doesn't know about it."
Qianye simply didn't know what to say. He also saw that damn information. Qian Xiaoye! Did Qiqi think that adding the word "xiao" to her name would make her look like a woman?
Just like that, in the raging anger of Qianye, the aerospace boat crossed the Void Star Road, flew to Jinzhong, an important town in the central part of Qinlu, and landed slowly.
The Tianxuan Spring Hunting is organized by the Weiguogong who is entrusted with the territory here. The hunting ground is the Tianxuan Mountains to the west of Jinzhong. It is said that the mountainous areas here have different ground veins and store a large number of rare mineral veins. The force is very chaotic. Therefore, there are not only all kinds of ferocious beasts
When wandering around, you may encounter rare and rare herbs unearthed, and according to spring hunting practices, in order to increase the difficulty, Duke Wei will also put some warriors of the dark race into the hunting grounds.
Imperial Spring Hunting, no matter what level and specification it is, pays attention to actual combat with real swords and guns. When it comes to Xijiang Spring Hunting under level seven generals, it is a small battle against aliens and rebels.
The Spring Hunting Camp was located in the annex of Duke Wei at the foot of Tianxuan Mountain. It was said to be an annex, but its size was equivalent to a small city. Although there were more than ten aristocratic families and hundreds of nobles participating each time, plus accompanying guards.
The total number of people exceeds 10,000, but other hospitals can easily accommodate them.
Qiqi took Qianye and a group of escorts to transfer to a small boat at the airship base in Jinzhong Town and headed for the Spring Hunting Camp. As a core figure of the younger generation of the Yin family, Qiqi herself and many children of prominent families
There was a lot of interaction, and when she arrived at the camp, there were actually more than ten distinguished young men who came to the airship base to greet her.
Qiqi was the one who attracted the most attention in the crowd, but when Qianye appeared behind her, she received countless blazing gazes in an instant.
He finally put on the same wide-sleeved uniform as Qiqi, with his half-length black hair hanging down. His face didn't even need to be particularly disguised, only the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were slightly modified, making it look slightly sharp and sharp.
The contours are softened, and the appearance is natural and stunning.
Qianye and Qiqi were almost the same height. Qiqi was in a particularly good mood and her phoenix eyes were particularly charming. However, Qianye was extremely cold and almost had a murderous aura standing there. These young nobles saw the two twins.
The girl was in a daze for a moment.
Being looked at with such eyes, Qianye's chest was filled with anger, and he had the urge to explode on the spot.
Qiqi was very good at handling such a scene, chatting and laughing with a group of familiar and unfamiliar aristocratic young people, until she boarded the carriage sent by the Weiguo Gongyuan. Qianye followed Qiqi into the car, and slammed the door.
He blocked the fiery gazes of the aristocratic young men and then said coldly: "I don't like this status."
Qiqi immediately comforted her: "Just show up at the beginning, and after the welcome banquet ends in the evening, everything will be fine!"
The carriage drove quickly and entered the courtyard assigned to the Yin family. This is a large courtyard with several entrances. Not only is it equipped with rockeries, ponds and flower gardens, there is even a small hot spring behind the house. The environment is indescribably quiet and elegant. The outer courtyard
There are several rows of bungalows built, which can accommodate hundreds of escorts. However, Qianye, as Qiqi's 'female companion', does not have a separate residence, and his residence is arranged outside the master bedroom.
As usual, the participants of the spring hunt will rest for a day in the villa to relieve the fatigue of the long journey. Some of the accompanying guards will set off early tomorrow morning to the advanced base deep in the Tianxuan Mountains to arrange accommodation and logistics supplies. Lead the team
The rightful owners will wait until everything is ready before setting off.
Therefore, this evening, the Patriotic Guild hosted a banquet for guests as the beginning of the Spring Hunt.
At night, the Wu'an Hall, the largest hall in the villa, is brightly lit, with maids rushing around, fine wines flowing from the fountain, and delicacies flowing from the mountain to the table. Young talents from many aristocratic families are gathered together, and most of the men are dressed in imperial military uniforms or samurai uniforms, looking very handsome and masculine.
, in the prime of life, the noble ladies wear wide sleeves and silk belts, and move gracefully and gracefully, as beautiful as flowers.
Even among so many handsome men and beauties, Qiqi and Qianye are the focus of everyone's attention. They wear the same clothes but have very different temperaments. They are very eye-catching when walking in the crowd.
Qianye followed Qiqi closely, without squinting or saying a word. The eyes around him were either fiery or jealous, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Since each family's core hunting team has a limit of nine people, they almost always choose
Members at level six and level seven have their own specialties. In contrast, Qianye is only at level five, which makes him particularly eye-catching.
Miss Qiqi's hobby for both men and women has long been known, so among the whispers, some were criticizing Qiqi for finding a new toy and bringing it to the hunting ground without knowing the importance of it. However, the noble boys had no idea about Qianye's strength.
Not interested, what they were talking about privately was his unique 'temperament', a special temperament that was cold and mixed with a strong murderous aura, which made them feel extremely stimulated and even shuddered.
Qianye was staring at her toes in despair, listening to Qiqi and a few acquaintances from the same province chatting about horse racing from a tea party. Suddenly, a long announcement came from the gate: "The seventh son of the Song Dynasty, Song Zining has arrived.
!”
The noisy hall fell into silence, and almost everyone's eyes fell on the door. A group of handsome young men and women walked in surrounded by a gentle and handsome aristocratic young man.
The young man was dressed in a light cyan ancient suit with long sleeves. He was graceful and as gentle as jade. He always had a smile on his face and in his eyes, which made people look at him like a spring breeze.
He had no ornaments on his body, except for the row of jade buttons on his lapel, which revealed a faint sense of luxury. The crystal-soft and delicate natural blood jade that seemed to be filled with smoke was the best medium for the Force, and each one was worth tens of thousands.
Gold, a set of similar sizes and textures, has almost no market value. Among the four great clans, the Song clan started as a merchant in his early years. He is the gentlest in behavior and has good relationships, but he ranks first among the four clans in terms of wealth.
Qianye was stunned for a moment before he recognized that the seventh son of the Song clan in front of him was indeed his classmate at the Huangquan training camp. However, Song Zining's appearance had not changed much as an adult, but his temperament was completely different from the two.
People around him were whispering about this rising star of the Song Dynasty who had risen like a comet. Song Zining acted extremely low-key. It was not until the Song Dynasty announced the candidate list of successors that he suddenly appeared in people's sight. Even the distinguished families participating in the spring hunt today
There is very little information about him.
When Song Zining walked into the hall, everyone immediately gathered around and exchanged greetings. Even the slightest relationship with the Song family hundreds of years ago was used by some people as a pretext for getting closer.
Song Zining's smile was like a spring breeze, warm and intoxicating. Some ladies looked at him with admiration. He answered them one by one as he walked, concisely and politely, not letting anyone down. But if you pay attention, you will find that there is a subtle difference between closeness and distance.
, the children of aristocratic families obviously receive more attention than nobles. Those at the top of the aristocratic family, and those close to the Song clan, will receive more time and attention.
These details are the most important test of the social skills of a child of a noble family. Not only was Song Zining thorough in etiquette, there were no omissions, but what was rare was that he did not delay and dealt with groups of people one by one in the blink of an eye, which fully demonstrated the talents of the core children of the Song clan.
, causing many of the older generation present to nod secretly.
"I hate this guy very much!" Qiqi whispered in Qianye's ear, seeming to know that he had doubts, and added: "Because the women around him are very annoying."
Only then did Qianye notice that Song Zining was followed by several girls, among whom was Ye Mulan. However, the other few had occasional conversations with Song Zining, and they looked intimate, and their relationship seemed to be unusual. Ye Mulan, who was dressed up, looked even more distinguished.
, she followed Song Zining closely, her expression cold and arrogant, and she never even glanced at the group of nobles and children of small aristocratic families around her.
Song Zining saw Qiqi from a distance and immediately walked over with a smile. He strode up to Qiqi and suddenly looked past her, stopping on Qianye's face. The gentle smile that never seemed to change suddenly solidified.
