The Tang Dynasty opened the country by force to seize the world, Gaozu and Taizong were both emperors immediately, after the tempering of the bloody rain, advocating personal bravery, and loved hunting and riding and shooting.

Hunting has become the most popular program in the Tang Dynasty, and one or two large-scale hunting activities are held every year.

Li Xian made careful preparations today, selected fifty elite horsemen, and each of them had a flag behind them, waving in the wind and making a sound.

Tang Ao didn't know how to ride a horse, sitting on the carriage ready to load the prey, and saw groups of people and horses gathering outside the city, the war horses neighed, and the swords were like a forest.

Through the banners in the ranks, Tang Ao saw the prince's reliance, the cavalry led by King Pei and others, and then also found the location of Helan Minzhi.

Tang Ao was afraid and resentful of Helan Minzhi, but he had to admit that Helan Minzhi, who was in his early twenties, was extraordinary at this moment, wearing the costume of the Duke of Guo, and compared the crown prince Li Hong and Peiwang Li Xian beside him.

Tang Ao saw the crown prince Li Hong for the first time, about twenty years old, thin and unhealthy blue, and couldn't help but think of the crown princess Yang who was condemned, I don't know how Li Hong knew that his fiancée was raped by He Lanmin, and what he felt in his heart.

After the hunting team was assembled, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven galloped out of the imperial city, first of all, a thousand cavalry royal forest troops, horses galloping carrying warriors with helmets and armor, and the momentum was like a rainbow through the sun.

It was followed by the frame of six horses, Tang Ao was familiar with the history books and knew that this was the etiquette of the Son of Heaven driving six, and only the Son of Heaven was qualified to ride the carriage drawn by six horses.

It's a pity that because of the distance and the curtains, Tang Ao didn't see what today's son looked like, let alone what Li Xian's mother looked like.

After the Son of Heaven's guard of honor passed, followed by the carriage and horse of the crown prince Li Hong, and after a short time, Li Xian's guard of honor also drove on the road.

Tang Ao had already learned from Li Xian's mouth that this hunt lasted for ten days, and he had to go deep into the Li Mountain, holding the crossbow with both hands more and more forcefully, he had ten days, and he should be able to find the opportunity to shoot one of Helan Min's arrows!

That's right, at a young age, Tang Ao wants to do a big thing is to take advantage of this hunt opportunity to get rid of Helan Minzhi, and his only reliance is the crossbow and crossbow in his hand.

Marched during the day, and arrived at the Forbidden Garden, one of the three gardens, at night, but because the hunting place was in Lishan, the entire hunting team did not disperse, but set up a bonfire in the Forbidden Garden, preparing to spend the night.

Li Xian arrived at the Son of Heaven's honor guard, not knowing when he would come back, Tang Ao gnawed on the piece of meat in his hand, and stared at Helan Minzhi's team with his eyes.

Helan Minzhi sat by the bonfire, the meat pieces were roasted on the fire, with wine in his hands, and his eyes looked at the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

It seemed that he felt something, and Helan Minzhi looked at Tang Ao here, but Tang Ao knew that Helan Minzhi would never be able to see Tang Ao hiding in the carriage.

Tang Ao held the unwound crossbow and aimed it at Helan Minzhi next to the bonfire, his finger pulled the trigger falsely, thinking of the picture of Helan Minzhi being pierced through the heart by an arrow, Tang Ao's little face showed a happy smile.

In the afternoon of the next day, the hunting team came to the Huaqing Palace in Lishan, Tang Ao followed Li Xian to stand on the mountainside, and the Huaqing Pond was in full view.

From afar, you can see the first peak on the Xixiu Ridge, where the beacon tower is famous for thousands of years, but it is not a good thing, the princes of the beacon fire play, the allusion of laughing and losing the world, happened here.

Tomorrow is the day of the official hunt, Li Xian looked excited, and the purpose of pulling Tang Ao to come was to wait and see the terrain, which was the knowledge that he must master as a disciple of the Li Tang clan.

"Tomorrow we will set off from that side, bypassing the thousand acres of cypress forests and detouring northward, where there is the most prey, and last year King Pei also hunted a fierce tiger!"

Tang Ao looked at the team stationed at the foot of the mountain, and saw the banner representing Helan Minzhi, and actually drove straight into the Huaqing Palace, Helan Minzhi didn't participate in the hunt? Isn't he working in vain?

Li Xian also saw Helan Minzhi's abnormal movements, and said disdainfully: "The clown who jumps off the beam will only flatter and make you happy for a few more days." ”

Tang Ao listened to Li Xian's words, his heart moved, and he secretly wondered: "Could it be that His Highness also wants to deal with Helan Minzhi when hunting?" ”

Tang Ao hesitated again and again, and did not tell Li Xian his thoughts, but decided to do it tonight, so as not to implicate Li Xian once the incident happened.

The night was deep, Tang Ao found a small burden in the carriage, inside was a set of eunuch clothes, put on this set of clothes, Tang Ao picked up the bow and crossbow and walked towards the Huaqing Palace.

On the way, he met the patrolling warriors of the Imperial Forest Army, because he saw Tang Ao's eunuch uniform, he did not stop him, which made Tang Ao's worried heart very stable, and he sketched the interior of Huaqing Palace described by Li Xian in his mind, and went straight to Huaqing Pond.

Tang Ao guessed that with Helan Minzhi's domineering behavior, entering Huaqing Palace would definitely soak in the hot spring pool, but the Xingchen Soup Pool and the Prince Soup Pool, Helan Minzhi would not enter at this time, so the only thing that could go was the Lotus Pond.

Tang Ao knew the name of the hot spring pool, but he didn't know the specific location of each pool, and he didn't dare to ask others, so he could only look for them one by one.

Tang Ao originally thought that Huaqing Pool would be heavily guarded, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, but what surprised him was that he didn't meet any guarded warriors all the way, and he didn't even see a palace maid and eunuch who was waiting, which was very abnormal.

There was a lot of water vapor in front of him, Tang Ao knew that it must be a soup pool, looked carefully to the left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, he tiptoed in, holding the burden wrapped in a bow and crossbow on his chest.

The sound of the rushing water became clearer and clearer, and through the dense mist, Tang Ao vaguely saw the figure shaking, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

Thinking about it, how could Helan Minzhi's big villain go to the hot spring alone, I don't know if he forced Princess Taiping's maid to accompany him this time.

Tang Ao took out the bow and crossbow, the bowstring had already been opened, the crossbow arrow was stuck in the groove, and he walked towards the soup pool step by step.

"Your Majesty, the water here is so hot! Beware of scalding the dragon's body. ”

"What nonsense, the emperor is in his prime, no matter how hot it is, it will be fine."

"I think it's just right, Yue'er come over, let me take a look, my waist seems to be a lot plump!"

"Your Majesty, slow down, Yue'er won't be able to stand it."

Tang Ao heard the conversation between the three people, and almost sat on the ground, and the crossbow arrow in his hand almost shot out.

Through the rising mist, Tang Ao could see clearly, a middle-aged man was on his side, holding a delicate girl in his arms, and another older woman, holding a large silver bottle in his hand, pouring hot spring pool water on the men and women who were hugging each other.

Tang Ao's brain was buzzing, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him, Tang Ao didn't know the middle-aged man, but listening to the conversation, it was today.

And the other two women, Tang Ao has seen once, and they turned out to be the mother and daughter of Mrs. Korea, that is, Helan Minzhi's mother and sister Helan Minyue.

Tang Ao finally figured it out, why Helan Minzhi was so favored, dared to be domineering and lawless, and even dared to **** the future princess, and took the initiative to think crookedly about the Taiping Gong, it turns out that the root is here!

Tang Ao only felt that he was sweating in an instant, no wonder there was no one to stop him all the way, the emperor must have already ordered, lest the ugly things here leak out, and Tang Ao is now like standing on the tip of a knife, once exposed, he will die without a place to be buried.

Tang Ao, who was in a daze, didn't know how he left the hot spring pool, and when he came out and was blown by the night breeze, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"The Imperial Palace, it turns out that it is not a paradise on earth." Tang Ao said to himself, since he followed Li Xian into the palace as a companion reading boy, everywhere he looked, his perception of human nature was subverted, and the palace was not a place for him!

Tang Ao looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand, his eyes gradually became firm, and he made up his mind in his heart, after killing He Lanmin, he would resign to Li Xian, he didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.

Tang Ao, who was disheartened, returned the same way, and just as he was about to leave Huaqing Palace, an old eunuch stopped Tang Ao.

"Go, send these things to Shangshi Soup, don't let Helan Guogong wait." The old eunuch didn't allow Tang Ao to refuse, and stuffed a food box into Tang Ao's hand.

Tang Ao immediately realized what it means to be bright, he had already given up tonight, but he didn't expect to learn where Helan Min was when he left, is this the will of heaven?

Tang Ao opened the food box and looked at it, there were a few exquisite foods in it, and he was scared out of sweat by the dirty things of the emperor and the Korean lady and mother and daughter just now, and he was unconsciously a little hungry.

Tang Ao was also not polite, and walked towards the hot spring pool pointed out by the old eunuch while eating.

This time, Tang Ao was not frizzy, and waited outside the hot spring pool for a while, but did not see the patrolling royal forest army and the eunuch palace maid, and secretly wondered: "Are these people all agreed?" If you all put the idle people and so on, there will definitely be no good things inside. ”

Tang Ao pursed his lips, the food box was put on the ground by him, and he picked up the bow and crossbow for the second time, secretly cheering himself up: "As long as Helan Minzhi is inside, I am destined to die tonight, and I want to play with me as a prostitute, which is even worse than Xuyan, and it can be regarded as an outlet for Li Xian and Taiping." ”

The hot spring pool in front of Tang Ao was not much mist, Tang Ao's vision could be seen very clearly, and because it was too clear, Tang Ao almost fell to the ground again, and his face instantly turned red.

In the hot spring soup pool, Helan Minzhi, who was covered in tendon meat, looked at Princess Taiping without a wisp, and muttered to himself: "It's still the way my mother thinks of it, tonight, I will cook mature rice with Taiping raw rice, tomorrow I will not only be the prince of the country, but also be a court horse, although the horse is not an official, but it can be more convenient to enter and exit the palace, it is really wonderful!" ”

Helan Minzhi looked at Princess Taiping, whose clothes were soaked in warm water and had a thin body, and shook her head slightly: "There are not a few taels of meat in the body, it is very boring, I wanted to wait a few more years, but I didn't expect Li Xian Xiao'er to accuse me of defiling the Yang family's daughter, hehe, I will eat your most precious sister in my mouth tonight, and see what you can do to me." ”
