Three hundred and fifty seventh chapters amazing bet
At the end of February, when the north was still covered in ice and snow, the southern foothills of Manglong Mountain quietly felt like spring.
The vast primeval forest became lush and green. After a night of light rain, countless wild flowers bloomed in the wilderness. Beasts that had been dormant throughout the winter came out of their nests to look for food. The vast mountains suddenly became full of life.
Yanjing Shanglin Garden is the royal hunting ground of the Yan royal family, with a radius of more than a hundred miles, including large areas of plains, mountains, forests, canyons and streams. Every year during the spring season, the royal family's descendants will come to visit their friends.
Going outing and hunting gradually became a royal tradition.
The folk customs of Dayan are strong, and the Yan royal family has always been martial. No king who can ascend the throne is weak, and hunting in Shanglin has naturally become a show of force for the royal family. Chapter 357 Astonishing bets
It was an excellent opportunity, so on the first day of hunting in Shanglin Garden, it attracted a large number of people.
It was still morning, and the royal manor located at the foot of Qingsong Peak in Manglong Mountain was already bustling with activity. White and golden tents were erected on the green grass, and a large number of entourages and maids kept shuttling between the tents.
, laughter and laughter come and go.
Anyone who knows the Dayan royal family can tell the identity of the owner from the flags standing in front of different tents. There are a total of six princes, three princesses, and nine of the seven daughters and twelve sons of Emperor Longwu.
It is definitely a rare event.
Although most of the princes and princesses have their own fiefdoms, their time in the fiefdoms is definitely much less than the time in Yanjing. No one wants to leave His Majesty the Emperor's sight easily. As for the affairs in the fiefdoms, naturally
Have loyal and capable subordinates in charge.
Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng followed Yan Lingyun and entered the large golden tent located in the center of the manor.
The three-clawed golden dragon flag fluttering in front of the tent clearly shows that this tent belongs to the eldest prince Yan Donglai. After a while, Feng Yi was lucky enough to be pregnant with a dragon species and gave birth to a dragon son.
She was promoted to a noble concubine.
The first prince of the Dayan royal family was not of high origin, his mother's family had no influence at all, and his talents were average and nothing outstanding. He had never been a popular candidate to compete for the position of crown prince.
However, Yan Donglai was a kind and steady man, and he loved all his younger brothers and sisters. Although Emperor Longwu did not love him very much, he had considerable trust in him. Therefore, even if he was unruly and unruly, like Yan Chaozong, he still maintained his respect for this eldest brother.
Due respect.
When Qin Yun and Yan Lingyun came in, Yan Donglai was talking to his entourage. When he saw Yan Lingyun, he immediately stood up and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Qi is here, come and sit over here, we will be waiting for you!"
Yan Lingyun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Little brother pays homage to eldest brother, I have kept you brothers and sisters waiting for a long time!"
Yan Donglai took his hand and said with a smile: "It's not long to wait, everyone has just arrived."
The eldest prince was in his thirties, with a tall build and a good-looking appearance. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face. He didn't seem to have any of the arrogance or airs of a royal nobleman.
Yan Lingyun sat down in his seat, Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng stood behind him.
Five princes and three princesses have already arrived in the big tent. They are sitting on the left and right sides of Yan Donglai. Each of them is accompanied by two escorts or maids. Opposite Yan Lingyun is the Yan Chaozong.
Qin Yun noticed that two sword cultivators were standing behind Yan Chaozong. They looked ordinary and nothing unusual.
Fang Feicheng, who was next to him, lowered his voice and said: "No one from the Iga Sword Sect is here, but Iga Feng is definitely here. According to the previous practice, there will be a festive banquet after the hunting. The Yan Chaozong should send Iga Feng to him at that time.
You challenge!"
Qin Yun nodded quietly.
At this time, I only heard Yan Donglai say loudly: "Dear brothers and sisters, I will be in charge of this year's hunting in Shanglin. This year, my father gave three imperial items as rewards for the spring hunting winners...
"
Before he could say anything, the curtain door of the big tent was suddenly opened, and a red figure rushed in like a whirlwind, followed by a crisp laughter like silver bells.
"Haha! You are all here. It seems that my little sister is not too late. I have reserved a reward from my father!"
The person who came was a beautiful girl in her mid-twenties, with snow-white skin and picturesque eyebrows. She was wearing a fiery red dress that outlined her graceful figure in an extremely alluring manner. However, she was still armed with a sword, back and bow, which made her even more heroic.
Yan Donglai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Twelve sisters, why are you here today?"
The girl in the red dress wrinkled her little nose and said with dissatisfaction: "Brothers and sisters can come, why can't I come? I have decided to be the number one scholar in today's hunting. The Haidong Pearl given by my father is mine.
belongs!"
There was an uproar in the big tent, and Yan Lingyun said with a smile: "Twelve sisters, if you like Hai Dongzhu, no matter who wins the first prize, we will give it to you, okay? There are many monsters in Shanglin Garden, you
It’s better not to go, lest everyone worry about you!”
"Huh!" The girl in the red dress didn't appreciate it and said angrily: "Brother Qi, don't look down on others. I invited two masters to help me today. I will never lose to you. I don't want others to give me gifts, I have to win them myself.
That’s it!”
Yan Donglai smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay! It's okay to let you participate, but you must not run around."
Although Shanglin Garden is very large, most of the animals inside are ordinary beasts, and there are a lot of monsters. Occasionally, one or two ferocious beasts will appear, which will not pose a threat to the princes and princesses who are guarded by experts.
But if you leave the confines of Shanglinyuan and break into the depths of Manglong Mountain, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Fang Feicheng whispered to Qin Yun: "This is the twelfth princess Yan Feifei..."
Among the nineteen children of Emperor Longwu, the twelfth princess Yan Feifei was one of the most favored. It is said that Emperor Longwu once doted on her mother Wang Guifei.
Soon after Feifei, the fragrance disappeared and the jade died.
Due to Emperor Longwu's favor and the lack of mother's care and guidance, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been willful and unruly since she was a child. She is known as the "devil" among the aristocratic children of Yanjing, and is extremely difficult to offend.
"Brother, don't worry, let's announce the start!" She patted her sword and said, "We can't wait any longer. The time is limited. If we don't go, all the monsters will run away!"
Yan Donglai could only say: "Let's start. This year's rules are the same as in previous years. The hunting time is still three days. You must come back before sundown. Safety must be the first priority in everything!"
"Long live, I'm leaving first!"
The girl in the red dress was waiting for his words, and immediately rushed out like a whirlwind, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The other princes and princesses also got up one after another. For them, hunting in the forest was nothing more than entertainment. It didn't matter whether they could get the number one scholar or not. At most, the reward from Emperor Longwu was a bit tempting.
"Seventh brother, you couldn't come to the forest for hunting last time, so you have to have a good time this year..." Yan Chaozong suddenly said: "Why don't we set up a lottery, what do you think?"
All the princes and princesses who were about to leave stopped in their tracks. Yan Donglai frowned but said nothing.
The conflict between the third prince and the seventh prince has been an open secret in Yanjing. Since Yan Lingyun returned to Yanjing from the Tiancheng Sword Sect, the Yan Chaozong has repeatedly provoked Yan Lingyun, recruiting the Xiaoyingzhou swordsman Yi
He Feng defeated several of Yan Lingyun's expert guards in a row, causing Yan Lingyun's face to fall.
Now Yan Chaozong is attacking Yan Lingyun again on hunting in Shanglin. No one will be surprised.
But no one is willing to intervene, and many people even want the two of them to fight to the death. Under the temptation of the interests of the imperial power, the family ties of the royal children are really worthless!
Yan Donglai's temperament was even softer, and he was not able to mediate the dispute between the two younger brothers.
Faced with Yan Chaozong's provocation, Yan Lingyun smiled lightly and said: "Since the third brother is interested, I will accompany you. I wonder what the third brother wants to use as a bet?"
Yan Chaozong said carelessly: "Of course gambling is gambling money, how about 30,000 pieces of spiritual jade?"
Thirty thousand pieces of spiritual jade! Everyone present secretly took a breath of air.
Although they are all children of the royal family, if they do not have a strong force or a fertile territory behind them, they will not receive much from the royal family every month. Thirty thousand pieces of spiritual jade is an astonishing amount of wealth for most people.
The stakes are too high!
Several princes and princesses looked at Yan Lingyun with a hint of sympathy in their eyes. The mother clan that Yan Chaozong relied on was huge and had a lucrative territory, so it was easy for them to spend 30,000 pieces of spiritual jade.
But Yan Lingyun is different. Thirty thousand spiritual jade may be all his savings.
With a casual word, Yan Chaozong forced Yan Lingyun into a corner. Although the latter could not accept such a heavy bet, it was undoubtedly equivalent to admitting his disappointment.
Dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Yan Lingyun at the same time, not knowing what choice he would make.
The smile on Yan Lingyun's face did not change at all, as if the thirty thousand spirit jade were just three pieces of spirit jade. He smiled calmly and said: "Third brother, please be merciful. You are rich and powerful, and my little brother can't get the thirty thousand spirit jade..."
Is this about admitting defeat? Everyone secretly thought, but it is also reasonable.
A look of ridicule suddenly appeared on Yan Chaozong's face, but what no one expected was that Yan Lingyun hadn't finished speaking yet: "How about replacing it with 20,000 Lingyu and five shops on Changqing Street?"
Hiss!
Many people gasped and were stunned!
Changqing Street is one of the most prosperous streets in Yanjing City. The shops facing the street are very valuable. The value of the five shops is definitely far more than 10,000 Lingyu. How can Yan Lingyun admit defeat? He has clearly increased the bet!
There is no doubt that this is Yan Lingyun's fierce counterattack against Yan Chaozong.
