Chapter 125 Hunting!
Chapter 125 Hunting!
"The hunt begins!"
With an order, all the people involved in the hunt mounted their powerful horses and drove towards the Dahuan Mountain with their entourage.
"If you lose later, don't forget to punish me!"
The moment he entered the mountain, He Lianxuan put his bow and arrow on his back and deliberately passed in front of Gu Yongyi with a very arrogant tone.
It was as if he was already determined to win this bet.
"I really want to shoot him with an arrow!"
Looking at He Lianxuan's retreating back, Gu Yongyi's eyes were solemn and he was filled with anger.
"Mobei people are naturally good at riding and shooting. Old Twelve, don't be too careless."
Seeing Gu Yongyi's excited look at this moment, Gu Chen sighed and reminded him softly.
In fact, there was no need for Lao Twelve to agree to such a bet just now.
Because it doesn't make any sense.
Even if you win the opponent, you won't get any benefits.
Of course, the most important point is that Gu Chen is worried about what He Lianxuan will do.
——There are some illegal means to win the bet between the two parties.
As for Lao Twelve, he was too outspoken and generally would not violate the rules of hunting.
"Brother Ninth, don't worry! I used to hunt in Dahuan Mountain a lot, and I'm much more familiar with this place than him. Even though he's a barbarian, he won't be able to beat me," Gu Yongyi said.
He naturally knew that the Mobei people were naturally good at riding and shooting, but this was his own territory and he was confident of winning this bet.
Gu Chen nodded and said, "As long as you know what's going on, I'm just reminding you."
But he couldn't help but think in his heart that he would have to think of some way to help Lao Twelve later so that he could win this bet as much as possible.
After all, the other party agreed to this bet because of him. Furthermore, if Lao Twelve lost, it would be a shame for Da Zhou.
....
In another line of troops, Nangong Qian drove his horse and walked slowly to Gu Che's side, reminding him: "Your Highness, those barbarians from Mobei are heading west."
Gu Che held the horse's rope and stopped at the exit of the mountain road. His eyes moved slightly and he asked curiously: "Where are His Highness Prince Zhuang and the others?"
Nangong Qian said: "His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang and the Twelve Princes are heading due north."
Gu Che pondered for a few seconds and then said: "If we want to frame Prince Zhuang, we must lead Mobei and them to the same location. Otherwise, Prince Zhuang will definitely have a way to avoid responsibility."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"We will find a way to go with King Zhuang's team, and then lead him to the Mobei barbarians."
Nangong Qian frowned and asked in confusion: "Will Prince Zhuang be willing to go with us?"
What King Yun said was indeed correct.
Mobei is in the west and King Zhuang is in the north.
Even if the third prince from Mobei is killed, King Zhuang will definitely be able to abdicate his responsibility. Even if someone suspected that King Zhuang was responsible, there would be absolutely no substantive evidence.
And if they can go with King Zhuang's team, they can take the opportunity to lead King Zhuang to the Mobei people. If we kill the third prince of Mobei at this time, even if the other party wants to explain, I'm afraid he won't be able to explain it.
Gu Che smiled, then looked at Nangong Qian, "If you don't try, how do you know Prince Zhuang is not willing to go with us?!"
After saying that, Gu Che hit the horse on the butt with a riding crop and walked straight ahead.
Nangong Qian and his entourage behind him also followed immediately.
....
At the foot of the mountain, officials or family members who did not participate in the hunting competition gathered together, eating snacks and chatting with each other.
"Sister-in-law, who do you think will win the first place in this hunting competition?"
On the seat next to her, Xiao Lexuan approached Jiang Heyan with a cheerful expression, and then said, "I must be my cousin or my brother."
Jiang Heyan moved her lips and replied softly: "That's hard to say. After all, there are many people competing today..."
Although she also hopes that His Highness can take first place, with so many people participating in the competition, those princes and princes who often like hunting will definitely not be bad.
In short, it would be best for His Highness to get a ranking, but it doesn't matter even if he doesn't get it.
"Princess Zhuang, you are too humble. With Prince Zhuang's bravery, he must be the first in this hunting competition."
"That's right, Prince Zhuang's martial arts skills and abilities are unparalleled and cannot be matched by those young masters from aristocratic families."
"That's right! Princess Zhuang, just wait for the prince to come back with rich results."
Several women sitting next to Jiang Heyan immediately beamed with joy and kept bragging about Gu Chen's flattery.
They are all the daughters of the imperial officials in the capital. They are lucky enough to come to watch this hunt today, so how can they forget the opportunity to get to know the upper class.
As far as Jiang Heyan's current status is concerned, except for a few highly respected nobles in the palace, there is probably no one whose status can be compared to hers.
Even Nangong Yue, who had recently married into Prince Yun's Mansion, was still inferior to her.
"How can this black-hearted prince be blown away by them? How much wine has he drunk to become like this!"
Jiang Anran's face was speechless and she complained softly.
As the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, although she is a concubine, she is also a relative of the family.
And when Jiang Quan wanted to bring her over this time, Duke Zhenguo didn't object. He also asked her how she was getting along with the young masters of the Xiao family recently. !
Although Jiang Anran's voice was very low, the ladies next to her could hear it clearly. Their faces instantly showed shame and anger, and they looked at Jiang Anran angrily.
"Aren't you a concubine from the Zhenguo Palace? You have no right to speak here!"
"That's right! It's already an honor for you to attend such a banquet, and you're still talking nonsense here."
"Princess Zhuang, please come and judge me. She, a daughter of a concubine, dares to be disrespectful to the prince."
Seeing this group of arrogant women, Jiang Anran rolled his eyes and said loudly: "None of your business, you are a bunch of hindsight!"
A group of people who can only flatter themselves, but her relationship with the black-hearted prince is much stronger than theirs.
Even if it was said in front of the other party, it would be fine. Why are they so anxious about them? !
She is a commoner at every turn, so she is an amazing child, isn't she? !
Seeing that Jiang Anran dared to talk back, one of the daughters in a yellow dress became angry. She stood directly in front of Jiang Anran and shouted loudly: "You bitch dare to scold me, you are really wrong!"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Jiang Heyan patted the table gently and said slightly angrily: "Okay, I didn't say anything? Why are you arguing here!"
Feeling that Jiang Heyan was a little angry, the woman in yellow immediately weakened a bit and immediately explained: "Princess Zhuang, it was she, a concubine, who spoke ill of the prince first. I couldn't get angry at the moment, so I replied a few words. "
Jiang Heyan looked at the woman in yellow and said coldly: "Then you have to pay attention to the occasion. At this point, I don't want to hear you mention it again!"
"yes."
The woman in yellow lowered her head and sat back down again.
The few daughters who were still angry at first did not dare to speak freely at this moment.
But the look she looked at Jiang Heyan was filled with curiosity and confusion.
Doesn’t it mean that Princess Zhuang has a bad relationship with the daughter of a concubine from the Duke’s mansion?
Why is she still speaking for the other party? !
