Imperial Hunting Grounds

Today is the annual Autumn Hunt.

The men present, whether they were sons of the royal family or officials, were all eager to try.

Sixth Prince raised his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yu in front of him, he changed into neat riding clothes and looked even more handsome. He stole everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage.

A trace of contempt and disdain flashed in his eyes.

He held the reins and drove the horse to him, pointing his nostrils to the sky, "I heard that after Autumn Hunt, you will be kicked out Eastern Palace?"

Xiao Yu glanced sideways at him lightly,

He said with a hint of majesty in his tone, "Are you talking to me?"

Sixth Prince Hearing this, a trace of chaps appeared on his face.

He tightened the reins in his hands, put away the resentment in his eyes, raised his hand and made a virtual salute, "The emperor's nephew has seen Little Imperial Uncle."

Xiao Yu seemed not to notice his reluctance and said calmly, "It turns out to be Xiao Liu,"

Sixth Prince's eyes twitched.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, please don't call me that, I'm already fourteen!"

Xiao Yu said with a relaxed expression, "You are fourteen, then you will be called Lao Liu from now on?"

Sixth Prince:"..."

Shen Zhijie, who was behind Xiao Yu, saw his ugly face and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chen, Shen Zhijie has seen Sixth Prince."

Sixth Prince turned to look at Shen Zhijie and said contemptuously, "As Court of Judicial Review Shaoqing, you are inseparable from the emperor's uncle,"

Shen Zhijie paused slightly and said frankly, "I also met Prince Yu by chance."

"What? Lao Liu, do you want to report to Elder Imperial Brother again?"

"He's still a little kid after all!"

Xiao Yu glanced at him and said, "I and Zhijie are not involved in cliques. It's just because we are both good hunters and we have sympathy for each other when we meet our opponents.

Don't get jealous and confuse right and wrong just because you don't have a close friend!"

"You, you!"

Sixth Prince was so angry at what he said that he couldn't say a word for a while.

"Lao Liu, uncle, I saw the prey, so I took the first step,"

Xiao Yu saw the shadow flashing in front of him, his eyebrows were filled with joy, and he could no longer care about Sixth Prince.

Riding on horseback.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie quickly followed and said goodbye to Sixth Prince, "I will take my leave first."

Then he chased Xiao Yu, "Your Highness, I saw that deer first, don't lie!"

The horses' hooves galloped, kicking up layers of sand and dust and rushing towards them.

"Ahem..."

Sixth Prince was forced to eat a mouthful of sand, and his face was distorted with anger.

Watching their leaving figures, I gritted my teeth.

"Xiao Yu, Shen Zhijie! Let me see how long you can remain proud!"

"Your Highness, don't be impatient or angry,"

Cui Rong came out from behind the tree.

Analyzing him carefully, he said, "Xiao Yu is a person who has a lot of concentrated power in his hands, and is also on good terms with several ministers in the DPRK. If we can draw him into our camp, he will be like a tiger with added wings to us."

Sixth Prince snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Is it possible! He only sees me, the loser Crown Prince Elder Imperial Brother!"

Cui Rong replied leisurely, "It all depends on man. As long as we let him see that Crown Prince is a helpless man, he will always see who is the real master of the world in the future."

Sixth Prince micro pause.

His eyes were full of uncertainty, "Uncle, are you sure that without Crown Prince, Xiao Yu, he will support me as the prince?"

"Don't forget, there is Lao Qi. Lao Qi is the son of his cousin and the grandson of his second uncle. Are you sure he won't stand by Lao Qi?"

"He doesn't dare".

Cui Rong replied calmly, "If he openly stands on Seventh Prince's side, it will only arouse His Majesty's suspicion, which will affect Prince of Zhennan's Residence,"

"Isn't it that he came to Beijing as a hostage to dispel His Majesty's suspicion of Prince of Zhennan's Residence? His Majesty finally let go of his guard. He will never bring Prince of Zhennan's Residence to the surface again."

He said seriously, "In the future, please be polite to Xiao Yu and don't be as rude as you are today. The most important thing for us right now is to deal with Crown Prince first. Do you understand?"

Sixth Prince nodded and replied, "I understand, uncle."

"Control--"

Xiao Yu saw a wild goat and grabbed the reins.

Put the arrow on the bow, loosen your hand, and the arrow will fly out like a rainbow piercing the sun.

"Whoops!"

Hit the prey.

He turned to look at Shen Zhijie, raised his chin, "How?"

Shen Zhijie immediately cheered and said, "His Highness is really a perfect shot, just like the god of arrows, I am willing to be defeated!"

Xiao Yu:"..."

He turned away and said, "Tsk, it's not interesting if you do this."

He suddenly asked, "How is sister Yuzhu doing lately? Now, does Xie Guifan not harass her anymore?"

Shen Zhijie replied, "Since my father went to Marquis of Pingxi's house and broke off the engagement three years ago, he has not appeared in front of sister Yuzhu again,"

"The second uncle and that Duan Wu were arrested by my father and put in prison. Sister Yuzhu also broke up with the second uncle,"

When Shen Zhijie mentioned that incident three years ago, it was as if the conversation started.

"And Xie Guifan, Marquis of Pingxi usually dotes on him the most. Unexpectedly, that time my father went to break off the engagement, he didn't embarrass my father, he directly agreed to break off the engagement, and even beat Xie Guifan. It's so strange!"

Xiao Yu replied to him, "If he doesn't beat Xie Guifan while he is still young, it will be too late when he becomes lawless in the future. Marquis of Pingxi has suddenly woken up,"

Shen Zhijie:"That's it..."

Suddenly, there was a sound in the grass.

"Bang!"

Shen Zhijie quickly rode in front of Xiao Yu, "Your Highness, be careful!"

Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Rustling"

Suddenly, I saw a figure emerging from the bushes.

Su Xun As soon as he saw Xiao Yu, it was like meeting his biological father.

He immediately jumped onto his horse and said, "Qi'an, please help us!"

Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched.

He glanced sideways at the person behind him and said, "Go down."

"Go down and there will be no one left!"

Su Xun hugged him tightly, "Qi'an, can you bear to watch your cousin turn into a withered skeleton?"

"You,"

"Ho--"

"Whoa! Whoa!"

As soon as the horse heard the deafening cry, it turned around and ran away in fright.

Xiao Yu immediately grabbed the reins tightly, trying to stabilize the horse underneath him.

The horse was so frightened that it kept whining.

I saw a beast that looked like a goat suddenly jumped out from the bushes, glaring at Xiao Yu and the others with a fierce look in its eyes.

"Ho--"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly,

Tulao.

The ferocious beast escaped from nowhere.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

When the horse saw that it was twice as big as itself, it turned around and wanted to run again.

"Settle down,"

Xiao Yu patted its head, "I won't let it eat you,"

The horse calmed down a little after hearing his words.

But it keeps kicking its feet, and if something goes wrong, it will run away!

"Su Xun, jump over to Zhijie," Xiao Yu said to the person behind him,

Su Xun glanced behind him and twitched the corners of his lips, "Qi'an... I'm sorry that my cousin has limited abilities, but I really can't do it."

Xiao Yu glanced sideways and saw that Shen Zhijie's horse had already run dozens of feet away, and Shen Zhijie couldn't pull it back no matter how hard he pulled.

Xiao Yu:"..."

He had no choice but to say to Su Xun, "Get out of the way and don't hinder me from drawing the bow."

After saying that, he took an arrow from behind with his backhand, stringed it and shot towards Tulao.

"Da--"

The arrow seemed to scratch Tulao's itch, and then fell directly to the ground.

Xiao Yu:"..."

The skin is really thick.

It seems that ordinary tools can't hurt it.

He simply summoned Xiao Ba.

"Boom!"

When Ma saw a big snake measuring dozens of feet suddenly appeared in front of him, he almost jumped over it as soon as he closed his eyes.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu grabbed it immediately.

Xiao Ba said expectantly, "Master, master, is dinner ready?"

Xiao Yu pointed in the direction of Tulao and said, "That,"

Xiao Ba immediately looked in the direction he pointed.

Suddenly, his head drooped.

He said aggrievedly, "Master, look at its four corners, they are sharp and long. If you eat them, Xiao Ba's stomach will be pierced by them later..."

"Tsk, hypocritical,"

Xiao Yu took four arrows from behind. This time he concentrated spiritual power on the arrows.

"Call out--"

Four arrows were fired simultaneously, flying out like a comet striking the moon, nailing Tulao's four horns to the ground.

"Roar!"

Tulao let out a scream.

Xiao Ba was happy when he saw the hornless sheep.

Immediately opened his big mouth and swallowed Tulao alive--

"Hiccup~"

A satisfied look on his face.

No need to eat today.

Xiao Yu: "..." Very good, I saved another meal.
