Chapter 203: Forest of Death
As soon as the words fell, Ye Chen and the others' minds were active, and the time change was understandable, not unprecedented, but the location change was a bit intriguing.
Emperor Qi didn't ask, and the people below naturally couldn't speak casually, at this time, the old eunuch stood up with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals, and said: "This year's martial arts test has been postponed, and it will start after the palace test is over, and this time the location is not a hunting ground, but in the forest south of the capital." ”
The old eunuch's words were heard clearly, but the way he spoke softly made Ye Chen a little disliked, not to mention that he always felt that this old eunuch always looked at him from time to time when he spoke.
"Do you Aiqing have any opinions?" Qi Huang asked with a smile, but that unquestionable tone also said that even if they had opinions, it was estimated that it would be useless.
"Everything is up to the emperor's arrangement." The crowd replied in unison.
Ye Chen doesn't understand the difference between hunting grounds and forests, anyway, he doesn't have any choice, this is not for him alone, he just needs to be prepared to block the soldiers and cover the water.
However, Qi Hui's heart was not very happy, although the forest in the south of the city was not far from the capital, there were countless fierce birds and beasts in it, and the area was too large, so there was no way to effectively hunt them.
What's more, the terrain is extremely dangerous and uninhabited, so it is also known as the "Forest of Death". “
It can only be that the army be stationed there all the year round to prevent anyone from being attacked, so it is almost a forbidden place in the Qi country, and now let them go there to compete, aren't they hoping that something will happen to them.
Fang Wenyuan and Liu Xian had a hint of joy in their hearts, they thought that their strength was much better than Ye Chen and Qi Hui.
If they were to hunt as usual, they would win as usual at best, and they wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
But now, as long as they are hidden, even if Ye Chen and Qi Hui are left in the depths of the forest, without evidence, even Qi Zhan will not be able to do anything, and this place is not their choice.
And they had been there for a while a few years ago, and although it was dangerous, as long as they didn't go deeper, it was perfectly fine if they were careful.
"It's okay if you don't have an opinion, then in a month, I'll invite you Aiqing to gather in front of the military camp in the south of the city, and if you have nothing to do, you can all retreat." Emperor Qi said with satisfaction.
Everyone came here just to wait for Emperor Qi to announce this matter, but now that they have finished speaking, they will naturally be fine, and they have retreated and left.
After everyone left, the old eunuch walked to Emperor Qi and said, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this, if something really happens, will they hold a grudge against you?" ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, do they respect me now, even if nothing happens this time, I will make an accident for them, only when this group of people is in chaos, I will have the opportunity to suppress them all." Emperor Qi said confidently, with a look of strategy.
Speaking of this, he thought of Ye Chen again and asked, "You have just watched it for so long, what do you think of Ye Chen's strength?" This Fang Wenyuan and Liu Xian are not ordinary people, don't have an accident as soon as they go in, if you can protect Ye Chen, you still have to protect Ye Chen,"
"The emperor forgives the sin, Ye Chen, this young man is a little different, and the old slave doesn't know how his strength has reached." The old eunuch replied.
"Oh? Even you can't see through it, so tell me that he's different. Emperor Qi said curiously.
"Like us who practice martial arts, because we have been practicing martial arts since childhood, our right hand will be different from ordinary people because of the perennial use of weapons, or in other places, we can always see some calluses left by practicing martial arts."
Speaking of this, the old eunuch paused for a moment and continued: "This Ye Chen not only can't see any signs of martial arts, but also looks weak, but according to the guards, Ye Chen can fight a tie with Qi Hui's little prince, so"
"According to what you say, Ye Chen's strength is not very good?" Qi Huang asked.
"Now it seems that this is indeed the case, after all, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, I don't know how Wang Zhitian sent him here, is it just for Xiazhou." The old eunuch said.
Before that, he had always thought that Ye Chen was the kind of genius boy with extremely high martial arts.
Emperor Qi frowned slightly, but then he stretched out again, he made up his mind, if Ye Chen had an accident this time, then he would take matters into his own hands and protect Ye Chen, because the current Wang Zhitian made him too jealous.
Ye Chen and Qi Hui, together with Fang Wenyuan and Liu Xian, walked on the way back together, although they all hoped that the other party would die soon, but they all endured it and did not do anything here.
Now that I know the location of the martial arts test, I naturally have to go back and prepare in advance.
After leaving the palace, Qi Hui first asked the groom to send Ye Chen home, and he planned to discuss with Ye Chen about this martial arts test.
As soon as Ye Chen walked into the yard, the two little girls rushed out, kept touching Ye Chen, and only relieved themselves after finding that Ye Chen was safe and sound.
This scene was naturally seen by Qi Hui, who came with him, and immediately made him envious, "Sister Qian'er, sister with red makeup, do you lack a brother, how about me?" ”
"Little prince, you can ask for other things, but they are mine." Without waiting for the two little girls to speak, Ye Chen hugged the two little girls into his arms and said.
As for Zhang Qian and Hongxiang being held so affectionately by Ye Chen in front of outsiders, although their cheeks were slightly red, they were overjoyed in their hearts.
Because this is the first time that Ye Chen has announced in front of others that the two of them belong to him, and it is still such a direct way.
Qi Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll just make a joke, I treat you as a brother, so naturally I won't do that kind of jealous thing, but if you hit me so hard, you have to take care of me at noon today, otherwise, I won't leave." ”
Ye Chen also let go of the two little girls and said, "Don't worry, this little prince, although I can't compare with the prince's mansion here, it's still pretty good." ”
Ye Chen naturally knew that Qi Hui was joking, otherwise he would not have been able to bring Qi Hui to him for dinner, and seeing that the time was not early, he called Hu Guang over and asked him to instruct the cook to make a few of Linzhou's specialties and let Qi Hui taste them.
Qi Hui waited until only he and Ye Chen were left, and quipped: "Brother Ye, if you have a chance, you must take me to Linzhou to have a look, you see that I am so old, and I didn't marry, I just took a few concubines, when the time comes, you can take me to Linzhou to find someone similar to your sister, if you find it, I will definitely thank you." ”
"This is natural, if you have the opportunity, you must take the little prince to go, and when the time comes, I will be the east, and I will definitely satisfy the little prince." Ye Chen responded. (To be continued.) )
