Chapter 291: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

Hunting was originally an activity for a group of rich children to have fun, during which the participants would generally show their housekeeping skills in order to show their abilities in the hunt, so as to win the attention of others.

The most important thing in the hunt is the first prey, because the jackpot is known as this good start, if you can who can win the first place, it means that your ability to completely suppress the rest of the people, so that more attention will fall on your own body.

The emperor is the king of a country, according to common sense, he should be the first to get on the horse to win the jackpot, but he actually gave this opportunity to Lin Yan? Doesn't this show that he himself is willing to bow to the envoys of the Fuyang Kingdom?

Lin Yan smiled and stood up and bowed to the emperor, very politely refused the emperor's request, he knew very well that although he could be treated politely by the emperor, it just showed that he valued the Fuyang Kingdom behind him.

But Lin Yan will never be stupid enough to forcibly suppress the emperor, because this is not the time to be in the limelight, but to make all the officials of the Xingzhao State hate their own troubles.

When Lin Yan sat back on the chair, his eyes deliberately stayed on Xing Tianze's body, only to see that the fifth prince was unmoved, as if the emperor's actions had nothing to do with him.

What surprised Lin Yan the most was that although today's hunt was ostensibly held for him, it was also a lively event in the capital of Xingzhao Kingdom.

Behind all the officials who came up on the school field stood a young man, some of whom were their own beloved sons, and some of whom were their juniors, whether they wanted to behave in front of the emperor or Xing Tianze, they were all to show their abilities in order to have a chance to make a name for themselves in the future.

But Xing Tianze didn't bring Wuxian over, and even Tao Mingxi didn't show up, which made Lin Yan extremely surprised, could it be that Xing Tianze was already unscrupulous in front of the emperor to such an extent?

"Since the envoy Lin is unwilling, I will not force it." The emperor smiled and turned to look at the officials of Xing Zhaoguo: "I don't know if the one here is willing to play this jackpot?" ”

As soon as the emperor's words landed, the young people standing behind the officials all stood up, respectfully saluted him and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go." ”

These people can be said to be the sons and daughters of the capital of Xingzhao Kingdom, and they are the most basic foundation of the future imperial court.

"Okay." The emperor waved his sleeves and sat back on his seat: "You all listen, no matter which of you hits this blood, I will reward you with gold and gold and one hundred taels of silk and fifty horses, and reward you with the title of viscount!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Such a rich reward made these rich children listen to it with enthusiasm.

After saluting, they all turned around and got off the high platform, and then a guard brought a horse and a set of bows and arrows for each prince!

The screams of the guards around the school yard hurried to the bamboo forest one by one.

There is a large bamboo forest and a very dense forest in the southeast campus of the capital of Xingzhao Kingdom, even if the 10,000 feather forest army drives a lot of prey into it, it is extremely troublesome to find.

In other words, even if you find prey, like a pheasant or a hare that is relatively small, you only need to drill into the bamboo forest, and the bow and arrow are a little jerky, and you will shoot the arrow on the bamboo.

"Old Five, your skills are good, why don't you go and win this jackpot?" The emperor picked up a glass of wine on the table and turned his head to look at Xing Tianze.

"The five princes' talents are amazing, how can these young people compare, besides, he has already become famous all over the world, and he must give this kind of thing to the younger generations." I don't know if it was the minister who took the emperor's words and explained.

Lin Yan stared at him tightly when he heard this, he had been coming to Zhaoguo for several days, and he hadn't seen Tao Mingxi until now, and every time he went to the Fifth Prince, he was looking for his own guilt.

Because Xing Tianze wouldn't pay attention to him at all, and he didn't show up when he hid in the shadows without a trace, Lin Yan originally wanted to find Tao Mingxi by himself, but he didn't know the way to the Five Princes' Mansion.

None of Xing Tianze's subordinates would answer his question.

"Old Five, I suddenly fell in love with the roast hare on a whim these days, are you willing to go and hunt a hare for me and come back?" The Emperor glanced at the minister who had just spoken.

Seeing this, the latter didn't dare to look at the emperor's eyes at all, and directly buried his head deeply.

"Brother Huang, wait a minute, brother will go!" Xing Tianze drank all the wine in the cup, got up and walked off the high platform.

When a guard had just brought him a white horse, Xing Tianze didn't pay attention to it at all, but blew a loud whistle, and immediately a brown horse ran over from the side, and then stopped in front of him very obediently.

Xing Tianze touched the mane of the horse, then turned over and squeezed the horse's body hard, and then galloped towards the bamboo forest.

The emperor looked at Xing Tianze's figure, and a strong murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

A look of surprise flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, who was sitting on the side, he could see at a glance what kind of horse Xing Tianze's mount was.

This horse named Zhan Xing is one of the most powerful horses in the legend, the legend can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night, crossing mountains and rivers as if walking on the ground.

Originally, Lin Yan always thought that Zhan Xing had either disappeared, or that he had become a wild horse on the grassland because no one could tame him, and he never thought that this horse was actually in Xing Tianze's 7 hands?

For a while, Lin Yan, who had always been well-educated, suddenly felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart, why was he the one who pacified Baiyue who was famous all over the world? Is he the one the princess marries far away? Is he the most likely person to become an emperor in the future? Is the once-in-a-century horse the owner of him? Known as the best friend of the unborn wizard for a thousand years, is he Xing Tianze?

How many secrets are hidden in this man's body? Lin Yan suddenly understood where the gap between himself and him was......

Half an hour later, Xing Tianze rode to the bamboo forest, and a fat hare was lying under a clump of bamboo.

Xing Tianze didn't hesitate for a minute, the tip of his right foot was slightly raised, and a superb bow and crossbow came to his hand, and the fifth prince quickly pulled out a crossbow arrow, and shot at the hare with extremely skillful bow and arrow.

The force contained in it was so great that it pierced the hare's neck, and after shooting it from the ground and flying two feet away, the crossbow arrow also shot through two tall bamboos.

Xing Tianze stepped forward slowly, and before he could touch the hare, a black shadow flew out from the dense bamboo forest on the side.

It was a spear about two zhang long, Xing Tianze frowned slightly and shot out a crossbow arrow.

After the thin crossbow arrow came into contact with the spear, it actually split it in two and shot it to the left and right, and then shot into the bamboo forest, and a muffled sound was heard.
