Qin Yun, Yan Lingyun and Fang Feicheng watched the lady in palace attire leave.
There were only three of them left in front of the huge tent. The other princes and princesses summoned their own entourage to protect them, and rode towards the towering mountains in the distance. The manor camp was in chaos.
Yan Lingyun took a long breath and said: "Junior brother, thank you for your help this time, thank you!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Senior brother, you're welcome. I just happened to meet you at the right time, so I didn't help much. Besides, ten thousand spiritual jade won't embarrass senior brother?"
Yan Lingyun smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, you don't know something. I have really put all my family resources on it. Let alone ten thousand more spirit jade, even one thousand spirit jade may not be able to come up with it. My third brother and
Jiumei has a much stronger financial position than me!"
Qin Yun asked curiously: "What is the origin of this ninth princess?"
Yan Lingyun and Fang Feicheng looked at each other, and the latter said: "Junior brother, I'll explain it to you."
Yan Lingyun nodded and said, "Well, you guys can talk here, and I'll gather the guards to get ready to go!"
It was obvious that Yan Lingyun did not want to get involved in this topic, but he could not hide Qin Yun, so letting Fang Feicheng and Qin Yun communicate privately was undoubtedly the best choice.
The Ninth Princess Yan Fangfei is also a famous figure in the Yan royal family. When she was thirteen years old, she was appointed by Emperor Longwu to be married to Li Fuquan, the eldest son of General Li Longde of the Zhu Kingdom. She was married at the age of eighteen.
However, this Li Fuquan was not "Fuquan" at all. He was a frivolous person and was very involved in eating, drinking, gambling and everything. Emperor Longwu married Yan Fangfei purely to win over Li Longde, who was guarding the northern border.
However, the two of them had only been married for half a year. Li Fuquan took too many drugs while visiting a brothel, and he died of ejaculation on the belly of a prostitute, which was widely reported in Yanjing at that time.
Yan Fangfei became a widow when she was less than twenty years old. Both Emperor Longwu and Li Longde felt guilty for her, especially Li Longde, who was highly respected in the Yan army. He loved Yan Fangfei very much, and out of grief, he gave away all the Li family's property.
Leave it to Yan Fangfei to take charge.
No one expected that Yan Fangfei was extremely talented in business. She took care of the Li family's industry and became a famous widow. With the care of Emperor Longwu and Li Longde,
It can be said that no one dares to mess with him in Yanjing.
"Since the death of her husband, the Ninth Princess has become a little unruly in her behavior. She usually likes to recruit young talents into the palace, and there are also some bad rumors coming out." Fang Feicheng said cryptically: "You don't have to show face to anyone, so even Your Highness
It also gives the Ninth Princess a headache."
So that’s it! Qin Yun finally understood.
Speaking of which, this princess was also a poor person with a bad fate. Her debauchery was probably the result of self-destruction. No wonder Yan Lingyun was unwilling to talk about this sister face to face.
"There's nothing wrong with the Ninth Princess. She can't compete for the crown prince. She remains neutral towards all the princes. Don't look at her just taking the side of the third prince." Fang Feicheng said: "As long as you give away the ice bead, she will also
I can stand with His Highness!"
"However, Yan Chaozong will never give up. He will definitely send Iga Feng to challenge you after the hunting is over, and he will use 50,000 spirit jade to defeat His Highness!"
His expression became extremely solemn: "His Royal Highness is determined to leave Jingnan County. Without this money as capital, it may be difficult to implement his plan. The Yan Chaozong must have set up the plan in a targeted manner."
Jingnan County is located in southern Xinjiang. The people's livelihood is in ruins and needs to be revitalized. Lingyang, the only important town, has suffered a catastrophe unprecedented in decades. If Yan Lingyun intends to revitalize Jingnan, it will never be possible without money.
of.
But facing Yan Chaozong's pressing steps, he couldn't even cower.
By now, Qin Yun has a clear understanding of the dilemma faced by Yan Lingyun. Although he has no intention of getting involved in the internal strife among the royal family's children, he now has no choice but to meet his opponent's challenge.
The most important thing is that regardless of the pros and cons, as long as he can get through this level, it will be of great help to the goal he wants to achieve.
Qin Yun smiled lightly and said, "Would it be better if there were fifty thousand more spirit jade?"
On the other hand, Qin Yun is also very supportive of Yan Lingyun's ability to leave Jingnan. With his character and ability, he can definitely govern Jingnan and restore prosperity.
After the battle at Lingyang, Qin Yun also had deep feelings for that southern fortress, and the relatives of Shui Wanning and Luliu were also there.
His tone was calm, but he revealed extremely firm confidence.
Fang Feicheng smiled and said: "Of course it's best if you are confident of winning. How about you stay here to prepare for these three days instead of coming with us?"
Qin Yun shook his head: "No need, that's too disrespectful of them!"
A simple sentence, but full of heroic spirit. Fang Feicheng laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and patted Qin Yun's shoulder hard and said: "Okay! This is what the disciples of the Sword Sect are like. Let's go hunting together!"
Flags were fluttering and horses were galloping. Groups of warriors carrying bows and swords left the manor and entered the vast forest mountains in batches from different directions. The annual hunting of Dayan Royal Shanglin Garden officially kicked off.
Shanglinyuan hunting has a certain competitive nature. There are a total of forty-seven teams participating this year. It can be said that they include the elites of the younger generation of the royal family, so the competitive atmosphere is quite strong.
According to the hunting rules, a member of the royal family can only have two innate-level close guards and no more than ten Qi Refining Realm knights or hunters. A team of no more than thirteen people in total. The final hunting result is based on the number of prey.
The number and ranking are measured, and the top pick, third overall pick, and second pick are finally determined.
Yan Lingyun was accompanied by Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng, and he also brought nine followers, all of whom were retainers and warriors in his own palace. They had participated in hunting activities before and had rich experience.
A group of people formed a cavalry and headed northwest. After entering the woods, they switched to walking, looking for prey in the boundless forests and mountains.
This area is the southern foothills of Manglong Mountain. It has a vast territory and complex terrain. It is the direct territory of the Dayan Royal Family and is not open to outsiders. Therefore, deep in the forest, there is no human habitation and wild beasts are rampant.
Of course, for innately strong men like Yan Lingyun and Qin Yun, hunting in the forest is purely an entertainment and leisure activity. Even if an intermediate level monster appears, it will not pose much of a threat to them.
The followers spread out in all directions and drove the prey out from the depths of the trees. Most of them were antelopes, lynxes, hares and other small and medium-sized mammals. There were no tigers, bears, leopards and other fierce beasts.
But looking at the mountain beasts fleeing in panic in the woods, Yan Lingyun immediately put aside all his troubles and thoughts, took up the long bow in his hand and said to Qin Yun: "Junior brother, let's compare to see who can kill the most prey!
"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the bow string in his hand suddenly loosened, and a sharp arrow shot out like lightning, passing dozens of steps away in an instant and accurately hitting a galloping antelope.
The unlucky antelope didn't even have time to let out a scream, and suddenly fell forward to the ground. Its head was completely pierced by the arrow, and it was almost killed on the spot.
The few warriors who followed him cheered loudly. Yan Lingyun proudly raised the long bow in his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't played with a bow for a long time, and it seems that my hands are not rusty yet."
The weapons used by warriors in the vast Kyushu are dominated by swords. The number of swords in the galaxy is as good as countless stars. Bows and arrows are usually only used as auxiliary weapons. Except for archers and hunters in the army, very few people will deliberately work hard on archery.
But for an innate strong man like Yan Lingyun, even if it is his first contact with bows and arrows, as long as he is familiar with the method of using them, the power he can exert is beyond the reach of ordinary archers. Killing a mere antelope is absolutely as simple as capturing it.
but.
Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng both smiled, and everyone felt much more relaxed.
The team continued to move deeper into the mountains.
There were not many prey found on the road. According to the hunting rules, at least tigers, leopards, bears and other beasts and monsters must be hunted before the score is calculated. So so far, the team led by Yan Lingyun has a zero record.
He was not in a hurry, chatting and laughing with Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng all the way until a roadblock appeared.
This tiger appeared so unexpectedly that even the nearby warriors could not detect it in time. It suddenly burst out from the trees beside the forest stream, carrying the howling wind with great speed.
"Good guy!" Yan Lingyun's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately raised his long bow.
But the tiger seemed to know his power, and it quickly turned around and jumped up, landing on a nearby rock in a mountain stream. It moved very quickly and flexibly.
Monster!
Everyone present could see that this colorful tiger was by no means an ordinary tiger. Only monsters could possess such rapid speed and responsiveness.
Qin Yun immediately drew the falling sun bow, and in an instant he took the black iron arrow and aimed it at the target.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred. A fiery red arrow suddenly shot out from the bushes not far away, and shot straight towards the vital part of the colorful tiger's neck.
At precisely the same moment, Qin Yun also loosened his fingers, and the black iron arrow was shot out silently.
Snap!
The black iron arrow and the red arrow, which arrived later, collided in the air. The latter was instantly shattered into pieces, but the black iron arrow also lost its original accuracy and flew over the tiger's head.
The colorful tiger was startled and quickly jumped up to escape.
It had just soared into the air when two sharp arrows shot back and forth, hitting its neck and abdomen!
Ouch!
The beast suddenly let out a painful roar and fell straight from the air into the stream, splashing countless water droplets. The bright red blood quickly dyed the clear stream red, which was extremely shocking to watch.
It was Yan Lingyun and Fang Feicheng who took action. The two of them poured innate true energy into the arrows. Naturally, a low-level monster could not resist it. After being shot through the vital parts, it struggled in the water for a few times before dying.
