The hunting location is a paddock exclusively used by the royal family. Although it is connected to some deep mountains, it is well protected. There are almost no strange animals, but only wild beasts.
Of course, the reason for guarding is not only to prevent assassins from plotting evil, but also to prevent special situations where strange beasts appear. However, after Lin Qian saw Zhang Tao and Lu Kong receiving the order, he had other thoughts in his mind: "It seems that this emperor is really
Deliberately promoting newcomers to pave the way for the future emperor, hum!"
"Brother Zhang, tomorrow's heavy responsibilities will be on your shoulders and mine. The pressure on my heart is really quite heavy. We must be well prepared and there must not be any mistakes." Lu Kong said.
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Protecting the royal bloodline. Although hunting tomorrow is not a big deal, for Lu Kong and Zhang Tao, it is a task that cannot make any mistakes. If there is a slight mistake, they will be killed immediately.
.
Even Lu Kong felt the slightest bit of pressure, "Brother Lu is right, we must protect ourselves well, and the guards we choose must be the elite among the elite, and the guards inside the forbidden palace must not make any mistakes, otherwise
We are also to blame." Zhang Tao nodded solemnly.
This is not a matter of merit, so the two of them dare not be careless in the slightest. If the situation is calm and the situation is perfect, there must be merit and no fault, but if there is a slight disturbance, it may be difficult to justify it.
Zhang Tao returned to the East Palace and carefully selected thirty outstanding guards. You must know that tomorrow these guards will serve as the emperor's personal guards! In fact, after Zhang Tao successfully took over the East Palace, he did not have time to train them. Even compared to the elites
Other forbidden palaces also have certain differences.
"Chen Mi, you will lead the team tomorrow. You must know that there will be no mistakes this time." Zhang Tao said.
"Yes! Don't worry, Commander, Chen Mi will definitely work hard!" Chen Mi was also very excited. Where did he have such an opportunity in the past? Where did he have the opportunity to see the emperor so close? But since he followed Zhang Tao, it seems that things have really changed.
Same.
Zhang Tao nodded with satisfaction, and then told Qin Huanran to guard the East Palace well. If someone takes the opportunity to attack and there is no one to protect the East Palace, it will be difficult to protect it fully.
The next day! In the early hours of the morning, Zhang Tao led the guards and Lu Kong to the paddock! This is the key point of heavy guarding! Lu Kong and Zhang Tao showed their tokens and walked in. They must plan today's route.
After all the itinerary is calculated, all-round protection can be achieved.
"Although it's a paddock and it's man-made, it's still a bit tricky because of the dense forests here." Lu Kong said with a frown.
Zhang Tao nodded. Because it was early in the morning, there was mist around and low visibility. However, the terrain here was very complicated. After investigating the previous hunting routes, although there were some flat and open terrain, there were also some dangerous terrain.
, everyone is having fun while hunting, but I am afraid there will be some confusion, which makes protection even more difficult.
"We'd better plan three routes, two conventional routes, and one unconventional route. This route will be more secretive and dangerous, but it will also be more exciting and there will be more beasts inside." Zhang Tao said.
Lu Kong was quite surprised. Although the emperor was happy when he went hunting, he would also pay attention to his own safety. He rarely went to such dangerous roads. Is Zhang Tao's worry unnecessary?
However, since Zhang Tao was also responsible for the emperor's safety this time, Lu Kong did not object. When the two of them memorized all the routes, the sun was already shining high. Today's weather was slightly hot and cloudless, plus the morning light clinging to the leaves.
The dewdrops on the forest evaporated, and the entire forest was filled with an indescribable smell. It wasn't a good smell anyway.
Zhang Tao and Lu Kong greeted them at the entrance. After a while, the ground began to shake. Soon all the soldiers guarding the paddock knelt down and began to shout long live the emperor. Zhang Tao and Lu Kong looked at each other. They knew! The real master is coming.
.
In addition to the emperor Gu Longtian, the three princes, and the ancient king, those who came this time were actually Yang Xiaobai, the prime minister, and some important ministers who all participated in the hunt. Seeing such a grand scene, Zhang Tao and Lu Kong secretly
When they exchanged glances, they could see the helpless smile in each other's eyes.
Chen Mi was slightly excited on the side, but this time the guard positions in many places were arranged by Chen Mi. During the process, Lu Kong also admired Chen Mi's ability. He once intended to poach, but was stopped by Zhang Tao. Hearing that Zhang Tao was quite
In a reproachful tone, Lu Kong smiled and said that for Chen Mi, the East Palace was a waste of talent.
After all, no one lives in the East Palace. It is simply a job of playing games. But how could Chen Mi be ungrateful and leave Zhang Tao? In the end, Lu Kong came back disappointed. There was even a trace of resentment in Lu Kong's eyes, which made Zhang Tao feel cold all over.
.
After a series of false rituals, Gu Longtian was about to announce the start of the hunt, but this time the ancient king suddenly said, "Your Majesty, hunting individually every time is really lacking in new ideas. I would like to suggest that we all compete to determine the outcome?"
"Oh? The ancient king's suggestion is very agreeable to my heart. It's not a bad idea to give it a try!" Gu Longtian laughed. Everyone coming to hunt is a very happy thing. The emperor will not go against the ancient king's wishes for such a trivial matter.
Yang Xiaobai quit the hunt midway. Obviously, with his mysophobic personality, he couldn't stand this dusty situation, so he planned to stay where he was.
Of course Gu Longtian knows Yang Xiaobai's habits and will not embarrass him. Bringing him here just proves that the emperor values Yang Xiaobai. Gu Weiran, Kuching, and Gu Kang all compete with each other. If they can win the game here, they can also be regarded as the emperor.
show up in front of.
And the most confident among them all is Gu Bin! But that’s right, Gu Bin is now an eighth-level martial artist, and most of the people who come to participate in the hunt are civil servants. Even if the three princes have certain martial arts skills, it is difficult for them to compete with him.
Gu Bin compared it with him and looked at him with a proud look, as if he had won the game before it even started.
"Since it's a competition, it can't be without a prize. If I win the first place, I'll reward him with a treasure, eh?... Let's reward him with this!" Gu Longtian casually took off a piece of green and crystal jade! This jade is so refreshing that it moisturizes the heart.
, is the finest jadeite. Looking at it is like walking into the green world of jadeite. It is even more dazzling under the sun, which makes people amazed.
Although it is just a piece of jade, even if it is worth a lot of money, it is not worth the desperate efforts of everyone present. However, this is the emperor's personal belongings. It can be said to be a gold medal to avoid death. Being able to obtain this jade must be extraordinary.
Everyone was working hard, but King Gu saw Gu Bin looking like he was determined to win, and his eyes were full of gloom. Apparently he was speechless for his son's idiot.
In this competition, it is obvious that everyone will give way to the three great princes, and if you, the prince's eldest son, steal the spotlight and win the competition, doesn't it mean that the prince is inferior to the prince? This is a treasonous thing.
Of course Zhang Tao knew that Gu Bin was a foolhardy idiot. Seeing Gu Bin's behavior, Zhang Tao felt funny in his heart. If Gu Bin really won, how wonderful would King Gu's face be then? Thinking of this
, secretly glanced at the gloomy face of the ancient king, and felt even happier.
In Zhang Tao's heart, he even wanted to help Gu Bin and sow discord. In the future, Gu Bin would be difficult to get along with in the imperial city. But at this time, Gu Wang's expression softened slightly, and his eyes were filled with thoughts, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
.
Zhang Tao and Lu Kong were both riding horses. As leaders, of course they had to follow everyone. "Okay! Then I will announce the start of the competition." Gu Longtian was also eager to try, but only when there is a competition can there be competition, and only in this way can there be fun in the competition.
But at this time, the ancient king said, "Your Majesty, we follow the same route every time we hunt. This is meaningless. The game is meaningful only when it is unknown. Moreover, these routes are more secretive, have more prey, and are more interesting."
"Haha, what the ancient king said makes sense. I am a little tired of taking the old route every time. Today, based on what the ancient king said, we will take a new route." Gu Longtian said with a smile.
At this time, many people secretly frowned, including Yang Xiaobai, but no one said anything, but Lu Kong said quietly, "Brother Zhang is indeed a man of both civil and military skills. He knows things like a god. If we hadn't been prepared,
If so, today is really going to cause trouble." I originally thought that Zhang Tao was doing something unnecessary, but now it seems that he is a prophet, and Lu Kong admires Zhang Tao even more in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I feel that although the unknown route is a lot of fun, it is also more dangerous. Please think twice before proceeding." Yang Xiaobai suddenly said.
When Lin Qian, who was beside the emperor, heard Yang Xiaobai speak, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and he didn't know what it meant. At this time, the ancient king said, "Master Yang, I'm afraid you are worrying too much? The emperor has two new appointments."
How can there be any problem with the safety of the commander-in-chief? Mr. Yang, you look down on the two commander-in-chiefs too much, right?"
"Okay, I've made up my mind, Xiao Bai doesn't need to say more." Gu Longtian said with a smile. He seemed to be in a high mood today.
Zhang Tao, on the other hand, had a solemn look on his face, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" Lu Kong felt that everyone was well prepared and understood that there would be no problems in hunting this time, but Zhang Tao instead looked thoughtful, as if there was some big problem.
"It's okay." Zhang Tao shook his head. "I hope my worries are unnecessary." Zhang Tao always felt that the forest today seemed to be slowly filled with an indescribable atmosphere, which seemed to be getting more and more abnormal, but Zhang Tao couldn't find it at all.
Can't get to the problem.
Soon the game started. The imperial guards who protected the emperor all rode on horses to follow Gu Longtian and other relatives of the emperor. "Chen Mi, you are responsible for leading the team to protect the three princes. I will personally protect Gu Longtian. Be careful. Today
It seems unusual." Zhang Tao would naturally give more advice to his cronies.
Chen Mi has 100% trust in Zhang Tao, "Yes, your lord!"
