The weather was getting colder. Before winter, Jing Yu organized an autumn hunting.

The reason why autumn hunting is arranged at this time is that one reason is that the crops have been harvested to avoid disturbing the people during the farming season; the other reason is that wild animals are preparing for the winter at this time, and are more frequent and fatter.

The main reason is that spring hunting and autumn hunting are a good opportunity for the ministers of the court and the emperor and the courtiers to connect emotionally, which is equivalent to modern team building.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity to engage in intrigues and assassinations. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, so accidents during hunting are normal.

Because Ling Yu was still young and the weather was cold, it was not suitable to go out, so Shangguan Ruoli did not accompany her.

The four children all went to participate with great interest. Dongming Ziyu was worried and naturally wanted to follow.

Although it seems that the world is peaceful now, the remnants of His Highness the Tenth Prince, the remnants of Nanyun, and even Dongming Zijin's supporters are secretly trying to make trouble, and the situation is not as peaceful as it appears.

As the emperor, Jing Yu is a little older and is relatively calm.

Ling Yao, Jing Xi, Jing Yang and their friends were like little birds out of their cages, excited and happy, their chirping laughter floating far away.

Children are always carefree and give people good hope.

Everyone set out before dawn. Due to the large team and the presence of women, the team did not move quickly and did not arrive at the royal hunting ground until midnight.

Everyone had a hasty dinner, freshened up and went to bed.

In the morning, a grand hunting ceremony was held to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, praying for the prosperity of animals and abundant grains. Then Jingyu led people on horseback into the woods, and symbolically hunted a few prey back, ending the ceremony.

Then we have lunch, take a short rest after lunch, and then the official hunt begins.

Ling Yao, Jing Xi, and Jing Yang, all half-grown children who didn't know how to take a lunch break, gathered together and discussed animatedly what kind of prey they would catch in the afternoon and how to eat it.

Ling Yao sat on the grass, sharpening the arrowheads of her crossbow, and said, "I want to hunt a fox and use the fox fur to make some fur-collared clothes for my sister."

Snowball sat aside and looked at the mountains and forests with bright eyes. He loved hunting the most, and this time he could have a full meal.

I have been living in the palace, which is really like being in prison. I really yearn for the life of hunting in the mountains and forests!

Jing Xi chuckled and said, "I want to catch a bunch of little rabbits and raise them for my sister."

Wang Mingxuan said: "When the little princess grows up, the little rabbits will become old rabbits."

Jing Xi smiled and said: "Old rabbits can lay eggs for little rabbits."

Ling Yao said: "I heard that rabbits have very strong reproductive abilities. They can have a litter in a few months. By then, the whole palace will be filled with rabbits."

When everyone heard this, they immediately imagined the scene of rabbits running around in the palace, and they all laughed.

Ling Yao put the polished crossbow arrow into the quiver, and Wang Mingxuan took out a crossbow arrow and handed it to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao took it naturally and continued grinding.

Wang Mingxuan looked at Ling Yao's beautiful profile, the corners of her lips were raised, and the base of her ears were slightly red.

Wu Xiaoke was repairing the quiver with a cowhide strap. When he raised his eyes, he saw Wang Mingxuan's somewhat absent-minded gaze and lightly bumped Jingyang beside him with his elbow.

Jingyang was wiping his black iron dagger with chamois leather when he was suddenly bumped. He looked at Wu Xiaoke and asked with his eyes: What's the matter?

Wu Xiaoke blinked and pointed at Wang Mingxuan and Ling Yao with his chin.

When Jingyang looked at it, his eyes flashed slightly, he narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and continued to work on himself.

At this time, Meng Wanzhou and Yin Wenxiu ran over dressed like butterflies.

Jing Xi frowned as soon as he saw it, "We're going hunting for a while, but we can't take a pretty little girl with us!"

Jingyang agreed, "I don't know what dangers there are in the forest, we can't protect them."

Others also agreed. No one wanted to bring the little girl into the woods and cause trouble for themselves.

Meng Wanzhou ran directly to Jing Xi, blinked her big watery eyes, and asked: "Your Highness, what prey do you want to hunt?"

Jing Xi's eyes turned and said, "I want to fight a big tiger!"

"Ah!" Meng Wanzhou's face changed color, she had seen tigers before.

A hunter from the village once caught it and brought it to the house. It was a very big and fierce animal.

Ling Yao and other older children knew that Jing Xi was teasing Meng Wanzhou, so they all started laughing.

Yin Wenxiu was very thoughtful and realized something was wrong immediately, but she did not expose Jing Xi's words. She walked to Jing Yang and asked softly: "Your Highness, can you take me to see you later? I haven't fought yet."

Hunting."

Jingyang refused without thinking, "No!"

Yin Xiuyuan also said: "Xiu'er, don't fool around, it's very dangerous. You need to ride a horse and bring a hunting dog."

Yin Wenxiu shrank her neck. She was most afraid of big dogs. Besides, she couldn't ride a horse and didn't even have a riding outfit.

Of course, Jing Yu would not allow the little girls to follow him into the mountains. The royal hunting ground has been enclosed and ordinary hunters are not allowed to enter, so there will be a lot of prey, including large animals.

Ling Yao insisted on going with him to see the experience, but Jing Yu did not object and took Ling Yao, Jing Xi, Jing Yang and other teenagers with him.

He has the most and best guards around him and is the safest.

However, if there is an assassin, the target will definitely be him, the emperor, so he is also the most dangerous around him.

A group of young men galloped with such vigor that some veterans were ashamed.

Feng Jinxing rode on his horse and watched Jing Yu leading people into the mountains and forests, surrounded by silver-armored troops and followed by many military attachés.

He followed slowly and quietly, as if he was traveling around.

The prime minister caught up with him on horseback and said hello: "Master Feng, why don't you go hunting and try to win a fortune?"

Feng Jinxing smiled gently and said: "Hunting is not my strong point, I'm just joining in the fun."

The Prime Minister smiled and said: "It's true that for us civil servants, hunting is just a way to join in the fun."

Several more civil servants came forward, and they went into the mountains and forests while talking. If they encountered small prey and couldn't pull the bows themselves, they could ask the guards to come up.

After entering the forest, the forest was very large and there were many prey. Everyone gradually separated after chasing the prey.

Feng Jinxing was not an incompetent scholar. He could do things like stringing a bow and shooting arrows. When he saw a wild boar, he felt happy and excited. He picked up the bow hanging on the horse and said:

"Let's go, I will also start a killing spree today!"

When the guards and secret guards saw that their master wanted to do it themselves, they naturally turned a blind eye to the prey and let their master have fun.

So Feng Jinxing chased the wild boar deep into the mountains. The mountain road gradually became rugged and difficult to ride on horseback, so Feng Jinxing dismounted and chased after it.

His leg was seriously injured and he didn't feel anything when walking on a flat road, but he felt a little uncomfortable when climbing a mountain.

Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I had to sit down on a rock to rest and let the secret guards and bodyguards hunt the wild boar.

I can't even catch up with a wild boar. I'm really worse than a pig.

What shocked him the most was that the secret guard returned after a quarter of an hour, carrying the wild boar.

Feng Jinxing sighed and shook his head. When he saw the guard coming back carrying hares and pheasants, he was hit hard again.

Qingyun knew that his master's leg had not healed long and must be feeling uncomfortable, so he said: "Master, let's go back."

Feng Jinxing was tired from climbing the mountain, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Suddenly, the secret guard suffocated and said, "There seems to be the sound of fighting."
