On the endless grassland, the sky is blue and the daylight is clear.

At the foot of the Mt. Kyoho Mountains lies an imperial palace with closed gates, and the towers and gates are made of huge stone bricks. Against the backdrop of the sky, the tall walls are particularly magnificent.

With the sound of the trumpet, the gates of the city were opened. A pair of people and horses walked from inside the city to a green meadow outside the city. In front of the pasture, there is a huge tent. Huyanye, the current khan of the Northern Trace, walked under the tent, and as he arrived, the people waiting in the tent stood up and saluted: "See the Khan." ”

"No courtesy."

After Huyan Khan took his seat, he looked at a man with a delicate face and a tall figure under the seat, and said with a smile: "Ah Jue, I heard that you came back this time and brought back a lot of good things. ”

"Yes, Father." Hu Yanjue stood up and bowed his head and said, "I also brought a group of slaves from Xiyun to cheer up our hunting conference. ”

"Good!" Huyan Khan clapped his hands: "Bring them all!" ”

"Yes, Father!"

At Hu Yanjue's signal, several soldiers armed with long knives brought up a group of unkempt people with shackles on their hands.

Jian Xiaozhu walked in the crowd with his head down, thinking about how to survive in the hunting conference. After all, from what she heard from the mouths of those soldiers yesterday, she could guess that this hunting meeting was like a large-scale escape scene for their group of captives.

"Father, that's it. There were ninety-nine people in all, and one was shot by the soldiers when he tried to leave on the way. ”

Hearing this voice, Jian Xiaozhu only felt a little familiar, very similar to the masked man who caught her. So she looked up and saw a tall, good-looking man speaking to the Khan sitting in front of her.

However, what surprised her was the man who was standing next to Khan who was dressed very differently from the one around him. The people at the scene were all wearing nomadic style robes, but this person was the only one, dressed in a white shirt, handsome and dusty, like an immortal who had walked down to the earth.

Jian Xiaozhu recognized that this person was Rong Xiuyuan.

She didn't know why Rong Xiuyuan was here, but judging by his appearance, he didn't look like he had been captured here to be a slave, but more like a guest.

And just when Jian Xiaozhu was secretly guessing Rong Xiuyuan's identity, he only heard Hu Yanjue say: "Brothers, there are several beauties from Xiyun Kingdom among these slaves, if the brothers have eye-catching ones, they can be caught back as personal slaves when hunting." ”

"Haha, Ah Jue, I have a slave of my choice now!"

Jian Xiaozhu saw that a strong man with rough eyebrows walked down from the banquet and stepped towards the crowd. Although he was a little scared in his heart, Jian Xiaozhu did not bow his head. After all, she is not a beautiful woman, and she smeared a few handfuls of dust on her face yesterday, so she is not worried about being caught as a personal slave at all.

The strong man walked to the front of the crowd and suddenly reached out to grab a beautiful woman with a white face and a somewhat delicate appearance: "I think this is good." ”

When the beautiful woman saw that she was caught by a strong man, she was so frightened that she knelt down and cried, "Big ...... My lord, the slave family is already married. ”

"I don't know what to do!" Hearing the woman's words, Hu Yanjue snorted coldly, looked at her and said, "It's your honor to be favored by the eldest brother." ”

However, this beautiful woman was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried so much that she could bring rain: "But ...... But the slave family has ......"

"Damn, this Xiyun woman really doesn't know what to do!" The eldest prince stepped forward and pinched the woman's chin: "Lao Tzu doesn't mind if you get married." So, would you like to come with me? ”

But the woman just cried and shook her head tremblingly. So the eldest prince let go of her, suddenly drew his knife, and cut off the woman's head directly.

As the woman's head fell to the ground, all the captured captives held their breath and looked at the scene in front of them, forgetting to let out an exclamation. Only one child's cry came from the crowd, and his mother quickly covered his mouth.

"Spoiled!"

The eldest prince Hu Yanji withdrew his long knife and returned to his seat and sat down. Hu Yanjue got up and said in the direction of the captive: "When the hunting meeting begins, you can escape with all your might." As long as you can dodge the arrows that come your way, you will be able to live. ”

As Hu Yanjue finished his words, the soldiers also put down the knives on their shelves beside the captives and shouted at them, "Run." ”

However, the crowd remained motionless, and no one took a step forward.

Seeing everyone standing in place, Hu Yanjue suddenly got up, picked up an arrow, and shot it at the crowd. Seeing that the arrow was about to be shot at the mother holding the child, Jian Xiaozhu only felt unbearable, and suddenly stepped forward and threw the woman to the side, while the arrow passed over them and hit the leg of a man who had no time to dodge.

"Ah......h

The man let out a scream, but then another arrow came through his chest.

"If you don't run away, then I'll keep shooting arrows at you."

Hearing Hu Yanjue's words, the crowd was stunned for a second, and then scattered and fled the grassland, running on the endless grassland. And the mother who was holding the child didn't even have time to thank Jian Xiaozhu, so she ran away with her son in her arms.

When Jian Xiaozhu got up from the ground, there was also a pair of eyes looking at her not far away. When Jian Xiaozhu pushed the woman to the ground, Rong Xiuyuan, who noticed her, also recognized who she was. Looking at the back of Jian Xiaozhu running out with the crowd, Rong Xiuyuan suddenly hugged his fists and asked Huyan Khan: "Khan, may I ask if I can participate in this hunting conference with many heroes on the grassland?" ”

"Rongyin, aren't you very good at horseback riding?"

Next to Khan, a girl with a bright face and a colorful dress looked at Rong Xiuyuan, and said with some concern: "I'm afraid you will fall." ”

Rong Xiuyuan looked at Hu Yanzhen gently: "With the princess, you taught me to ride a horse during this time, I think I can try to behave in front of the Khan once, and it will not be in vain for the princess." ”

"But ......"

"Alright, Ah Zhen. Rong Yin said so, so let him participate. Hu Yanjue walked over and handed the bow and arrows to Rong Xiuyuan: "I really want to see how this luthier from the Central Plains will behave." ”

But Huyanzhen said to the khan uneasily: "Father, what if Rongyin is injured? You have to hear his piano every day to fall asleep! ”

Huyan Khan heard Huyan Zhen's words and looked at Rong Xiuyuan: "Rong Yin, are you sure that you won't get hurt?" ”

Rong Xiuyuan nodded: "Khan, I'm sure." ”

And Hu Yanjue said on the side: "Don't worry, father, with me, Rongyin will not be injured." I can also come and play the piano for you in the evening. ”

"Then Rongyin, let me see if you can catch the prey at the hunting meeting like the men on the grassland."
