The competition on the autumn hunting ground is not only the quantity of prey, but also the type of prey.
Generally speaking, if you can hunt birds and animals like raptors, you will naturally have a higher chance of winning.
Therefore, people often go to the raptor area to try their luck.
Yuan Chen's hunting was not for competition, but just for show.
So after entering the hunting ground, he slowed down and walked side by side with Xiao Jialan.
Seeing that he had no intention of hunting, Xiao Jialan couldn't help but asked with some worry: "It wouldn't be good if you returned empty-handed, right? Your Majesty and the courtiers are watching."
What if they think I’m holding you back?”
After all, countless pairs of eyes saw the hunting ground she entered with Yuan Chen.
Yuan Chen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Aren't there still your elder brother and Mu Rufeng? They won't let us go back empty-handed."
Xiao Jialan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Isn't this bad? If people find out that you, the crown prince of a country, are cheating, won't it ruin your reputation?"
Yuan Chen felt that this girl was really worrying. When the time comes, the hunting ground would be in chaos. Who would care about what you hunted?
Just as he was thinking, he heard movement in the forest. He looked up and saw a frightened deer running around in the forest.
Then, an arrow flew and the deer fell to the ground.
Yuan Hao came over on horseback. He glanced at Yuan Chen, who had empty hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, haven't you fired your bow yet?"
Yuan Chen saw that he had caught a lot of prey, some big and some small.
He said: "I can't compare to my second brother, but I have gained a lot."
Yuan Hao said: "My brother feels that the emperor's ambition is not here." After saying that, he picked up the deer on the ground and said to Yuan Chen: "My brother will not accompany me anymore."
He left these words and walked away with the people.
Xiao Jialan snorted and said, "Looking at him like this, he seems to have already won."
Yuan Chen stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Jialan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. After today, he will not even be able to laugh."
Xiao Jialan nodded and said, "You're already here, let's go hunting too."
"good."
Yuan Chen responded, and suddenly he heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow flew from behind him.
He put his arm around Xiao Jialan's waist and suddenly pulled her onto his horse. He saw the arrow flying past the side and landing on the tree.
Yuan Chen turned around and looked in the direction where the arrow was flying. He only saw the leaves shaking and no one in sight.
He squinted his eyes, took out a flying knife from his arms, and threw it towards a tree not far away.
I saw a man in black falling from the tree, with a throwing knife stuck in his left shoulder.
The man pulled out the throwing knife and ran away quickly.
Xiao Jialan felt that the man's back looked familiar, and she said, "It seems to be Han Leyi's bodyguard."
Yuan Chen curled his lips and said, "I'm just afraid that he won't come."
Xiao Jialan stared at Yuan Chen and asked, "Did you know that Han Leyi would ask the guards around her to kill me?"
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "You followed me to the hunting ground, how could Han Leyi be able to sit still? With such a good opportunity, she would definitely send someone to assassinate her.
If something happens at that time, it can be said to be an accident."
Xiao Jialan frowned and said, "But let him run away."
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, he can't run away. My hidden weapons are all poisoned. They were specially developed by Ruyi. Other doctors can't detoxify them."
Xiao Jialan remembered that before the autumn hunt, Xin Ruyi soaked in the Yaolu and was so mysterious that she didn't know what she was fussing about?
