At the entrance of the valley, the generals stationed here were full of solemnity.

In addition to the eldest princess Hongying, as well as the envoys and princes of the Lin Kingdom, the next thing was their bosses and royal relatives who were present.

Soon after the procession of high-ranking military attaches reached the valley, the emperor dressed in bright yellow military uniforms slowly approached surrounded by a group of imperial relatives and nobles.

The old emperor was accompanied by guards on the left and right, and there were also a cadre of imperial relatives behind him, all of whom were powerful men, all of whom were arrogant and honorable, and there were two or three female dependents, who were also wearing military uniforms, looking heroic and cool, but compared with the eldest princess, it was still far behind.

In fact, according to the etiquette of Great Yan, when the envoys of other countries come to visit, when the Great Yan Emperor invites them to come to the enclosure, they should come together, that is to say, the envoys and the crown prince of the Nalin Kingdom should come side by side with the emperor of Great Yan. However, when the prince saw that Hongying had set off early, he was also anxious to come, but the uncle of the Lin Kingdom spoiled his only eldest nephew lawlessly, so he arrived here early with only one notice.

The guests were so impatient, and as the host, the emperor couldn't delay his departure, so he also came out early. In fact, because of the cold weather, the old emperor's body is getting worse and worse, and he wants to come out later if he can come out later, but he didn't expect that the prince of Lin Kingdom is so unstable that he can't hold his breath.

The old emperor sat on horseback, and the attendants carried arrows and crossbows for him, and he was only wearing military uniforms and cloaks, and he looked so powerful, but after all, he couldn't withstand the wind, frost, rain and snow of the years, his temples were white, and his old eyes couldn't see things in the distance.

The sun was still hanging in the air, and its rays were faint.

The cold wind was blowing, and the woods in the valley were rattling.

The generals waiting in the valley also stretched a string and looked forward to the old emperor's mount. It's time to come.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a horse's head to turn from the col in front of him, followed by the horse's body, and the horse's body was not sitting on the emperor, but a guard, who had come to explore the way.

The man rode up to the front and commanded the generals, "The emperor has arrived, and you will take over!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all knelt on the ground, their hands spread out on the snow, and they did not care about the cold. The way-finding guard rode back at a gallop. The crowd pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the sound of horses' hooves on the ground.

The team is finally here.

There are quite a few people, and it seems that there are more than the last time. The generals did not dare to raise their heads, but only shouted: "Welcome to my emperor!" ”

The old emperor sat in the saddle and rode into the valley without saying a word. Behind him, the rest of the people drove their horses to follow.

When all the men and horses entered the valley, the generals dared to raise their heads and look in the direction of the emperor.

When they entered the valley, they dismounted. The guard respectfully walked under the old emperor's horse, intending to help him dismount, but the old emperor immediately lowered his face and forced the guard back with the majesty of the superior: "My body is very strong, why do you need to do trouble!" ”

As he spoke, he glared at the guard. The guards instantly understood what the old emperor meant, and stepped aside, but they were still very close, staring at the old emperor's horse, for fear that he would fall without paying attention.

The old emperor looked at him, blushed, and shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”

The guard stepped back again, this time literally leaving. The old emperor was satisfied, and subconsciously looked back, and found that everyone had all dismounted and was waiting for him.

The old emperor was indignant, hum, this group of rabbit cubs dared to dismount before me! Thinking about it, he also dismounted.

This valley is dedicated to rest. The old emperor walked into the usual room for himself, surrounded by everyone, and the rest were arranged in other rooms.

The journey from the palace to this valley was not too far, so he did not feel too tired to walk, and the old emperor rested for a while, and then began to gather everyone.

It's still eclipse time.

The crowd came out of the warm room, with quivers on their backs, bows and crossbows, and horses in the open.

Yirong followed Lou Zhan, and behind the couple was Bai Yiyun. Bai Yiyun didn't know anything about hunting, so he was going to ask his brother-in-law for advice. Behind Bai Yiyun, there were extremely generals, they were Lou Zhan's heartfelt followers, so they naturally followed him.

Bai Fengyi, as the prince, naturally followed the emperor, in addition to him, there were also Prince Shun, the eldest princess Hongying, and the rest of the princes and royal relatives, as well as the two fathers-in-law who accompanied him. Among the royal relatives, there is a nephew of the queen, the queen's maiden family name is Zhou, which belongs to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has been promoted to the imperial family because of her, the queen, from a small family without power and power, and the descendants of the Zhou family will naturally be blessed, and they can enjoy the respect of everyone with the princes and princesses.

The guards counted the number of people and presented them to the Emperor, who nodded.

"Let's go!"

So they set out, and the men and horses, dry rations, bows and arrows, all were ready. At the forefront, the emperor got on his horse, and everyone followed. Lou Zhan went up with his wife.

Yirong sat quietly and obediently in the arms of her husband, not daring to make the slightest out-of-the-ordinary move, even if she wanted to, there were so many people watching, and besides, her husband was a general, so he couldn't let him lose his majesty. For a weak woman like Yirong to come to the hunting ground, there are also curious and doubtful among the people, but no one says anything, after all, there is Lou Zhan to protect her - no one is qualified to question Lou Zhan.

The team followed another exit from the valley without haste into the endless mountains. The hunting ground is still in the deepest part, and there is no prey to be caught on the periphery.

The mountains were all covered with trees, and when you walked in, there were all endless woods, and in the early winter the valley trees were deserted, all gray-black trunks and branches, without the slightest greenery, and there was no life. But not necessarily, life is hidden underground, or in caves, waiting to be discovered.

The team left a large footprint along the mountain road. There are no birds in the forest, no birdsong, no bustle, it seems quiet and peaceful.

Of course, since he came to hunt, this silence was not destined to last long. Animals that hide underground or in caves will come out from time to time to feed, after all, winter has not yet arrived, and there is still some time before hibernation.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, the team finally stopped.

Yirong wondered, is this a prey found?

I saw someone riding a horse in front of me and walking a few steps forward, and it looked like a young man. The young man, however, was dressed in armor and was magnificent, drew an arrow from his quiver, pulled up his crossbow, aimed it in one direction, and shot it out with a "whoosh".

"Giggles!"

Not far away, a pheasant under the tree that had not had time to escape screamed a few times and fell to the root of the tree, its abdomen pierced by the arrow.
