Chapter 455: A Thrilling Scene
The day after the bonfire feast is the highlight of the first day of hunting.
As soon as the sun had fully risen, the young men of the dynasty had already formed a procession. This team is headed by the emperor, and the three princes and Wen Qiao are the three most outstanding young men in this team.
The royal hunting ground is mostly the home of young men, and in addition to some generals who have been practicing martial arts for many years, other civil officials are also here to join in the fun. In the whole team, the children of the family accounted for more than half.
Wen Qiao changed into a silver-white armor like everyone else this time, and everyone was riding horses and preparing to be behind the emperor. "Let's go!" As soon as the emperor's voice sounded, the horses under his crotch ran straight ahead.
The young man behind him similarly rode out. The crown prince grabbed the reins and let the horse turn in a different direction, he turned his face sideways, did not say a word, and looked at the three princes beside him silently.
The reaction of the third prince was more indifferent than that of the prince, and after seeing the prince's eyes, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and immediately rode out. Hunting is a good opportunity to get ahead of the emperor, and no one wants to miss this opportunity, except for Wen Qiao, of course.
Wen Qiao fell behind, he looked at Zhao Qingyan standing outside the hunting ground and waved at him, his beloved woman was here, although Wen Qiao was not so competitive, but he also wanted her to see his strength.
It's not necessary to be in the limelight, but you can come back with some prey to open Zhao Qingyan's eyes. Thinking so, Wen Qiao also rode his horse to the depths of the hunting ground. It is up to him to be able to hit as little prey as he can, so Wen Qiao avoided the flat plains and rode directly into the mountains.
Along the way, he met many people, and it was clear that everyone else had the same idea as him, and wanted to make a splash in this hunt. A teenager in front of him shot an arrow and hit a hare, and Wen Qiao watched him not far from him and was very excited to pick up his trophy.
Animals such as hares are the easiest prey to harvest in the hunting grounds, and Wen Qiao's interest has not been low to this extent. He grabbed the reins and was about to leave, when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, "It seems that the prince of the world doesn't look down on small animals like hares?"
Wen Qiao turned his head and touched the dark eyes of the third prince, and there was no light in those eyes, just as he couldn't see the heart of the person in front of him. "Your Highness." Now that they had already met, Wen Qiao had to open his mouth to greet the third prince.
The third prince rode on the horse and moved the longbow in his hand, then looked up at Wen Qiao and said, "Wen Shizi is in the mood to compete with me today?" From time to time, someone on both sides was hunting prey, Wen Qiao and the third prince looked at each other for a while, and replied, "Okay." How do the three princes want to compare?"
The third prince suddenly came over, and his mind was not so simple. Wen Qiao suddenly became worried about his future at this time, and now the two princes in the court, he just tore his face with the crown prince a few days ago, and the three princes are not much better.
He remembered what he had been speculating about in his heart, and wanted to see what the Third Highness in front of him had in mind.
"Since today is for hunting, why don't Wen Shizi compare with me to see who has the best prey to hunt in the end." The third prince looked directly at Wen Qiao and said.
"Okay." Wen Qiao moved the corners of his mouth, and agreed with a smile. The third prince said, "Then we'll see you later." After that, the three princes rode away directly.
If you want to hunt the best prey, you must go to the deepest mountains and forests. The prey in the plains outside is almost all small animals, but in the mountains and forests, there are many things that are not known.
The third prince suddenly came to find Wen Qiao to compete, obviously his intentions were not simple. Since the third prince wanted to play, he happened to play with him to see what the three princes were playing.
After a while, Wen Qiao also left the same place.
He went to the deepest part of the forest. At first, I would meet a few people on the road, but the deeper I went, the more I didn't meet anyone. Wen Qiao almost walked to the deepest part of the mountain forest, he was not in a hurry at this time, and rode a horse slowly patrolling the mountain forest.
He walked around the deepest part of the mountain forest for a while, and gradually, he heard a strange sound. Wen Qiao rode on the horse and shook his head, thinking to himself that if he hadn't stayed in it for a long time, he would have had auditory hallucinations.
However, then he heard the strange cry from time to time, Wen Qiao listened carefully for a moment, and finally felt that it should be the cry of a certain animal. Wen Qiao rode his horse and slowly walked deeper into the place, and finally no one around him could see it.
The dense growth of weeds and trees illuminates the surrounding camp with a mysterious atmosphere. There was another sound, and Wen Qiao stopped the horse in place. This roar is more like that of a tiger. Guessing what this was, Wen Qiao's curiosity disappeared and he turned his horse around and prepared to return the way he came.
At the moment when the danger happened, Wen Qiao couldn't react at all. He only felt a feeling of weightlessness under him, his eyes closed subconsciously, and the next moment he fell down with people and horses.
His body fell heavily to the ground, and the sound of the horse's neighing in pain was heard in his ears. Wen Qiao opened his eyes and sat up, but in just a few minutes, he had already fallen from the ground into a huge pit.
The good psychological quality made Wen Qiao quickly calm down, and he stood up with his hands and touched the dirt walls around him. The soil was still damp and apparently freshly dug up. Wen Qiao smiled, this time he repeated the tricks of the third prince.
It's just that the three princes designed to trick him here, what are they doing? There is no need for others to answer, the facts quickly gave Wen Qiao an answer, and Wen Qiao heard the tiger cry more and more clearly just now. Until the last sound was above Wen Qiao's head, he looked up and saw that it was right on the tiger's head.
People will never be able to communicate with tigers, and the moment he saw the tiger above, Wen Qiao experienced the feeling of suffocation for the first time. By this time, all the doubts in his heart had been answered.
The three princes' methods this time were simply bold. Wen Qiao thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to move even a finger all over his body. The dangerous tiger above kept watching him, as if to see if he was alive or not.
Wen Qiao secretly raised his hand to touch his waist, the short dagger he carried with him was still in the position of his waist at this time, he slowly held the short dagger with his hand, now in this situation, if he wants to live, he must first solve this tiger.
He has been in the army for many years, and he has a lot of lives on his hands, and it is the first time to fight hard with an animal like a tiger. Before he could start his move, a drop of hot sweat had already slipped down Wen Qiao's forehead. It seems that the third prince really made a big deal this time.
The tiger above his head hissed, and he moved his body in a circle.
