A month passed unknowingly. After the winter solstice, a heavy snow suddenly fell, covering the entire northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The heavy snowfall turned the entire Shangjing city into a snowfield. It was not until the seventh day that the snow stopped slightly, but
There are still some scattered snowflakes floating down.
Almost overnight, plum blossoms bloomed all over Shangjing. The cool breeze carried the cold fragrance of plum blossoms all over Shangjing.
In the Purple Dragon Garden, a lifelike blue dragon was circling over the snow-white plum forest, and the sound of the dragon's roar shook the prince's mansion in all directions. Around the garden, a famous maid wearing a thick rat skin coat looked at her with a red face.
in the air.
"Master, we are about to break through again!"
As if responding to the guesses of these maids, the dragon shape in the sky suddenly shrank to about seven feet, and then expanded violently. A circle of blue light like ice crystals suddenly spurted out, and the seven-foot little dragon swayed in the air and turned into a
The green dragon is more than five feet long. On the top of the dragon's head, two horns come out.
Roar!
But after hearing a shocking roar, dozens of plum trees in the Purple Dragon Garden swayed, and countless snow-white flowers were swept into the air by the wind and snow. And above the wind and snow, a huge green dragon was circling.
There were faint flashes of lightning on the scales. The two dragon horns and two hind legs that had not been manifested originally also broke free!
"Hoof-tapping! Hoof-tapping!"
At this moment, a burst of horse hoofbeats sounded outside the wall of the Sifanghou Mansion. In the thick snow, two fast horses were seen roaring in the wind. A burst of laughter came from a distance.
"Hahaha! Brother Fang, come out quickly! Heavy snow has sealed the mountains, and it's time for hunting in the eastern suburbs!"
On horseback, two young men in rich clothes and majestic looks are really Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin. After two months of meeting, Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin's temperaments have changed greatly, and they appear more confident. The two are galloping on the horse, in the
When he arrived at the gate of Sifanghou Mansion, he reined in the reins and stopped at the door.
"call!"
The two of them had just stood firm when, inside the multiple courtyard walls of the Sifang Hou Mansion, a green dragon snaked across the sky, its four legs dancing, its head vivid, and it faintly exuded the aura of a heavenly dragon.
Xiyuyu!
The two war horses felt the frightening breath in the air and neighed violently in panic. They got up and immediately turned around and ran away. Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin were slightly frightened. They each used their abilities to stabilize the two frightened horses.
.
"Drink!" Zhang Ying shouted loudly, and pressed his palm between the front blades of the war horse. The horse sank, and its four feet sank into the soil, unable to move.
"Yu!" Zhou Xinyao yelled, and he jumped off the horse. He quickly stretched out his right hand, held the horse's neck, and stopped the horse's castration with powerful force.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhou, why are you here!" Qinglong pushed down from the courtyard wall, and Fang Yun fell from the sky in white clothes. Within three feet of him, all the snow foam was flying, making it impossible to get close.
As soon as he revealed his true form, the dragon aura immediately disappeared, and the two war horses immediately calmed down, but they still looked at him in horror.
"Brother Fang, don't you know what day it is today?" Zhang Ying said excitedly.
"What day?" Fang Yun frowned slightly. He was focused on training and didn't pay attention to these things.
Seeing that Fang Yun really didn't know, the excitement in the two people's hearts was immediately reduced by half: "Brother Fang, today is a hunting day in the eastern suburbs!"
"Hunting in the eastern suburbs!" Fang Yun's heart was slightly shaken, and then he heard the cold wind, the whole city of Shangjing was reverberating with noise, and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the snow followed the sound of the wind, drifting from a distance, the sound of horse hooves
There were also bursts of laughter from the princes’ children.
Hunting in the Eastern Suburbs is the most solemn festival of the year for all the princes and scholars in Beijing. At this time every year, almost all princes and scholars will ride on their horses, bring bows and arrows, and hounds, and go to the eastern suburbs.
Let's gallop forward and show off our majesty.
When the previous dynasty was destroyed, the princes and nobles as the rulers were in a bad style. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous dynasty, Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty specially designated a large area in the eastern suburbs as a hunting area for the princes and nobles to hone the blood of these princes' children.
After all, the world of the Zhou Dynasty will depend on these princes and sons to support it in the future!
In the eastern suburbs, there are all kinds of ferocious lions, tigers, bears, and leopards. In addition to these ordinary beasts, deep in the eastern suburbs, there are also ferocious beasts and monsters captured by the Zhou Dynasty from outside Koutu Shenzhou.
These ferocious beasts are extremely powerful, breathe out fire and smoke, and are extremely powerful. Only those brave and skilled princes and sons have just gone deep into it to hunt these ferocious beasts.
In order to force the children of these princes to go hunting in the eastern suburbs, the Great Zhou Dynasty issued special laws. All princes and nobles in the Great Zhou Dynasty must send at least one scholar from each family to participate in the hunting in the eastern suburbs!
"Brother Fang, this time Zhou Xin and I have obtained our father's consent and are allowed to participate in the hunting in the eastern suburbs. This is our first time participating. Do you want to come with us?"
Zhang Ying was also unsure in her heart whether Fang Yun would go. From previous impressions, Fang Yun seemed to be only interested in improving martial arts.
Fang Yun's eyes flashed, and many thoughts flashed through his mind: "There are only two of us in the Fang family: me and my eldest brother. In the past, it was my eldest brother who participated in the hunting. This time, my eldest brother can't come, so I will take his place!"
"Uncle Liang, prepare your horses!" Fang Yun turned around and shouted.
"That's great!" Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin were ecstatic.
After all, they come from a family of military commanders and are very efficient at doing things. Within a few breaths, a servant came over leading a fat black horse.
"Master, the horse you want!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go to the accountant and get some reward money!" This horse is as tall as a person and is extremely strong. Fang Yun can tell at a glance that the servant is taking good care of it. He dismissed the servant, and Fang Yun got on the horse.
The three of them walked side by side towards the eastern suburbs school grounds.
The Eastern Suburb School Ground is located at the entrance to the Eastern Suburb Hunting Area. The open space of several thousand feet is covered with stone slabs. The school grounds are surrounded by flags of various colors, and the flags on the flags are the flags of the major princely families of the Zhou Dynasty. Flagpoles
Below, there are heavy soldiers of Zhou Dynasty wearing black armor standing, each with a cold look and expressionless face, like the messenger of death.
When Fang Yun and the other three arrived, the hoofprints on the school ground were messy. Hundreds of princes and princes rode horses and arrived at the school ground early. These people were in small groups, each divided into small groups, chatting in private.
"We're here!" Zhou Xin reined in his horse and looked ahead. He looked nervous and excited.
Fang Yun also stopped, glanced around, and found that many of the faces here were new and had never appeared in the academy. Most of the people on this campus were fifteen or sixteen years old. But there were also some eighteen or nineteen-year-olds.
The young men all have slender figures, long breaths, and exude a powerful aura.
"It's Fang Yun!"
At the edge of the school field, several people felt Fang Yun's gaze and glanced back. When they found out that Fang Yun was standing behind them, their expressions changed slightly, and with a low voice, they called on their companions to drive away.
In Shangjing City, the name Fang Yun has become almost taboo. Everyone knows that this person has provoked many nobles, and walking with him can easily lead to trouble.
A little commotion spread immediately. Soon, there was no one around Fang Yun and the other three. Feeling that they were being squeezed out by everyone, Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin had scornful expressions on their faces.
In the center of the crowd, five tall young people gathered together, talking and laughing happily. Three steps behind these five young people, Yang Qian and Li Ping sat astride their horses, with humble expressions on their faces, seeming to be particularly interested in the five people in front of them.
fear.
"Well," sensing the commotion on the edge of the school grounds, a rather sinister young man among the five people turned his head, took a look, and suddenly laughed: "Look what guests we have here."
This sinister young man is called Li Chen, the second son of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. This time he is representing the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion in the imperial court's hunt in the eastern suburbs.
"Oh, it turns out he is the second son of the Fang family, and he has also come to participate in the hunting in the eastern suburbs," Cai Feng, the prince of Mianxiu Hou, laughed. He was dressed in brocade clothes and a white fox cloak, looking luxurious and handsome.
"Well, Fang Yun?" The young man riding a blood-red BMW, seven feet tall and as strong as an iron tower, frowned suddenly, and suddenly shouted to Yang Qian: "You are a useless thing, that kid took it from you.
A human-level pearl?”
Yang Qian didn't dare to raise his head. He glanced at Fang Yun on the edge of the school field and said timidly: "Yes, brother, that's him!"
"Hmph! It's interesting. He is hiding in the Sifang Marquis Mansion and can't come out. I really can't do anything about him. I didn't expect that he actually threw himself into the trap and came to the eastern suburbs to hunt." Yang Biao, the eldest son of Pingding Marquis, snorted coldly and turned around.
Horse head, galloping towards Fang Yun.
"Ha, I've seen a show. In the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Marquis of Sifang and the Marquis of Pingding have been at odds for a long time. Now the eldest son Yang Biao is at war with the second son of the Fang family. The feud between the two princes of the Zhou Dynasty seems to be lasting for generations.
It has been passed down." Gao Wei, the prince of the Marquis of He, raised his cloak and rode after him.
"Let's all go and take a look. The second son of the Fang family is indeed a bit flamboyant," Xu Quan said calmly. His gentle words shocked the hearts of everyone around him, knowing that the head of the eldest son of the capital city, the other party
Yun was also a little dissatisfied. This sentence showed an attitude.
"Well, let's go take a look," the five of them followed, along with Yang Qian and Li Ping.
"Fang Yun, you robbed me of my human-level beads that day. I never thought it would happen today!" Yang Qian glanced at Fang Yun in the distance with hatred, and suddenly felt a perverted excitement in his heart.
"Hoof!"
The horses' hooves were raised, causing waves of snowflakes to splash. Wherever the five noble princes went, the crowd fell silent and moved out of the way one by one to make way for them.
"Huh?" Fang Yun raised his head and noticed the five menacing princes in the school grounds: "It seems they are here to cause trouble."
"Zhang Ying, Zhou Xin, step away!" Fang Yun suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Zhou Xin and Zhang Ying said happily. When they heard this, they couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Here comes the one looking for trouble," Fang Yun looked at Yang Biao, the leader of the five, clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward.
The crowd was silent, and their eyes focused on the two tall horses and the two figures in the school yard.
"Are you Fang Yun? Is it you who snatched the human-level pearl from my Pingdinghou Mansion?" Yang Biao stopped his horse, and the first thing he said when he saw Fang Yun was to get straight to the point, with a very rude tone.
"Not bad. Do you want to go back?" Fang Yun said coldly, without giving in at all.
A trace of anger flashed in Yang Biao's eyes: "You are so brave. Even if your elder brother is here, you don't dare to speak like this in front of me!"
"How can you claim the title of king or marquis if you are not very courageous? You are Yang Biao, the eldest son of Pingding Marquis Mansion, right?"
In a few words, Fang Yun basically confirmed the identity of the young man in front of him.
"Hehe, okay, very good! The people in the Fang family are really good!"
Yang Biao laughed angrily, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "Fang Yun, I'll give you two choices. One is to hand over the human-level beads, or the other is to have your hands and feet broken by me, and then I will take back the human-level beads myself!"
