Zhu Wei asked Li Xuan to pay close attention to Du Rufeng, Xue Wei and the three crown princes. As for the most noble Wanyan Fifth Generation, Li Xuan did not specifically tell Li Xuan to pay attention. However, Li Xuan noticed that there were also some secretive guards among the nobles.
, they formed a faint protective circle around Wanyan Wu. If there was really a blind person who wanted to assassinate the king, he would probably be cut into pieces before he could take action.
With the sound of the horn, the royal hunting contest begins.
The annual royal hunting competition began when the Spring and Autumn Empire was first established. It is said that the founding monarchs set this rule in order to prevent the nobles from losing their fighting spirit in the day-to-day superior life.
As a reward, the winner of the annual hunting competition will receive a royal medal and even have the opportunity to serve as an important guard in the royal court. Many nobles have been training their boys' hunting abilities since childhood, hoping to use this opportunity to rise to the top.
As for the crown princes who have the right to inherit, they also attach great importance to hunting contests. In the hundreds of years of history of the Spring and Autumn Empire, crown princes who have won hunting contests have a great chance of inheriting the throne.
Just because of the opportunities brought by the hunting contest, when the horn sounded, every participating noble whipped his horse and rushed forward into the wilderness.
This hunting ground is very large, with a grassland, two lakes, two dense forests, and even an artificial swamp and an artificial sand field to simulate hunting in various environments.
There are thousands of various animals in the hunting ground, and each animal has corresponding points. The hunting time is three hours, and when the time expires, the one with the most prey points will be the winner of the hunting competition.
Li Xuan sneered at the rules of the hunting competition. In his opinion, the reason for using hunting to maintain fighting spirit was too ridiculous. If you really want the nobles to have fighting spirit, just send them to the battlefield.
However, he still rushed into the hunting ground loyally and followed King Qi.
As the number one heir to the throne, King Qi attracted the most attention. At least ten fully armed royal guards followed him, forming a tight protective net.
Li Xuan was far behind, seeing that King Qi was swaying, as if he would fall off the galloping horse at any time. It seemed that this bookish prince was not very good at hunting and riding horses, and I was really afraid that he would not even catch a prey.
Can't hunt.
"We found a group of hares ahead!" A guard shouted excitedly. He was King Qi's outpost and was responsible for finding traces of prey.
Li Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. Sure enough, there are servants just like the masters. Finding a group of hares is worth making a fuss about. The founding emperor is really far-sighted. The blood of his descendants has really been exhausted under hundreds of years of pampering.
.
King Qi galloped towards the hare, and the bow and arrow in his hand shot out crookedly. His guards also fired a barrage of arrows. Li Xuan watched from a distance and thought to himself that such a group of thousands of arrows were fired at the same time. The group of hares would really die with eyes open.
Zhu Wei followed up slowly and said with a smile: "Prince Qi has a kind heart and is a future wise king in the eyes of many ministers."
There was a lingering sarcasm in her words, and of course Li Xuan could not fail to hear it. The so-called kindheartedness, from another aspect, can probably be understood as "indecisive and incompetent".
"Don't you want to take care of the second prince?" Li Xuan changed the subject. He was not interested in the disputes in the royal family.
"Prince Jin is not an ordinary person. Anyone who finds him will probably consider themselves unlucky." Zhu Wei looked serious and seemed to be a little afraid of the second prince.
The two of them just chatted, watching King Qi from a distance, watching him hunt several groups of hares, a wild boar and three wild wolves with the help of his guards, and they shouted excitedly.
"It's really 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 his trip was in vain.
"How can you still be bored when a beautiful woman is with you?" Zhu Wei raised her eyebrows.
She was wearing a very formal guard outfit today, but she had a unique purple belt around her waist, which suddenly made the dull outfit look gorgeous. Such a formal outfit made her look less sexy.
Charming and gorgeous, but with a bit of irresistible uniform temptation.
Li Xuan took a look at her and couldn't help but secretly admired that such a beauty is really rare to find in the world. It stands to reason that almost all the women around him are the best in the world, but compared with Zhu Wei, they really lack some chic.
Charm.
Soon it was noon, and King Qi's team stopped by a lake to rest and have dinner.
Li Xuan and Zhu Wei stopped on a small hill far away, took out some tasteless dry food and started chewing it.
"I feel something is wrong." Li Xuan stared at the group of people resting leisurely by the lake and suddenly said to Zhu Wei. He felt an uneasiness coming from his intuition. It seemed that there was some dangerous aura around him, but he could only sense it.
You can see it, but you can't touch the essence.
"What?" Zhu Wei was stunned. She stood up and looked around, but she couldn't see any possibility of danger coming.
"You said that hunting competitions are important, but I follow Wang Youzai's carefree attitude and don't seem to care about the results." Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
Zhu Wei hesitated: "The hunting competition is just a reference. King Qi is the first crown prince. Even if he can't hunt a hare, according to common sense, he will inherit the throne."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Li Xuan said. He opened his palms, and a faint purple halo appeared on his palms. It was a group of rich shadow spiritual power, which quickly condensed and turned into a crystal.
Transparent shadow bowl.
"What is this?" Zhu Wei asked doubtfully.
"Look." Li Xuan placed the alms bowl in front of Zhu Wei and asked her to look over.
Through the alms bowl, Zhu Wei saw a group of King Qi's people by the lake. They were all covered with a group of black auras, and they looked very scary.
"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 very strong murderous aura, but they only hunt.
Don’t you think it’s strange to kill so few prey?”
"I don't understand what you mean." Zhu Wei pursed her lips. She was obviously thinking of something uneasy, and she didn't know whether she didn't dare or didn't want to guess in that direction.
"If you don't want to mess things up, go check on the other two." Li Xuan stood up, becoming more and more convinced that something was going to happen.
Zhu Wei gave Li Xuan a meaningful look and whispered: "You go to King Jin's place. I am closer to the princess, so it is more convenient to go to her place."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, checked the direction, and disappeared in a flash like a ghost. His speed was already very fast, but after training at sixteen times gravity, it reached an incredible level.
Even compared with the time on Earth, I'm afraid it's still slightly better.
