The bonfire in front of the imperial tent burned almost all night, and when thousands of red glows pierced through the mist, countless iron hooves had already stepped on the dewy grass.

The people of Da Zhao have always been martial, and over the years, the border has been stable, and the men's enthusiasm can not be swayed on the battlefield again.

The forest winds in late spring have always been reckless. In the wind, the flag that symbolizes the royal hunt flies, dozens of gray-black iron armor surround a little golden lin, dozens of pure black horses in front of a row, a white horse with a carved saddle of Chinese bridle is particularly dazzling. The owner of the white horse is the current emperor, and only the supreme and noble people can enjoy such a noble bright yellow.

In the mighty procession, the Praetorian Guard and the princes escorted the emperor at the forefront. Different from the solemnity of the emperor's demeanor, the ranks of the major families and courtiers in the future were much more scattered and relaxed.

The sons and generals on the horses all changed into heroic riding clothes, and the quiver was full of feather arrows on their backs, and a red bow was also carried cross-legged on their shoulders.

In the slightly dull sound of drums, the bright yellow imperial flag waved forward, and the emperor's white horse raised its front hooves, and then disappeared with a neigh. The lord was so, and his courtiers followed him and spurred their horses, which galloped away with their masters into the woods.

The horses raised a thick cloud of smoke and dust, and when the crowd was crowded, Xi Yan glanced at Situ Yizheng calmly, and went in the same direction as him. No one noticed that Xi Yan had already exchanged the Sa Lu Purple he was riding for Xi Yun, and now what he was riding was just an ordinary military horse with a similar coat color to Sa Lu Zi.

The movement of thousands of horses' hooves on the ground was shocking, as if the sound of horses trampling from the waterfall falling to the rocky beach swept away, and Weiyi's camp returned to the tranquility that it should have in the dense forest.

After the young men and generals of the hunt set out, the camp was much deserted. Some of the old or lazy ministers talked in twos and threes, and the tents with more tightly guarded tents were the residences of the concubines...... In contrast, the female officials of various prefectures are much freer. Si Le Fu is a relatively idle house, and before it is time to set up a banquet, An Ruofei, who is a Si Le, is even more poor and bored.

Xi Yan and Situ Yizheng are gone...... An Ruofei also stepped out of the resting tent and strolled around the camp casually.

If it weren't for the apprehension in her mood, An Ruofei would still feel that the scenery here is unique, but she was really a little nervous in her heart...... She wondered if the sky would be the same color when the hunters returned.

In a daze, An Ruofei had already walked to a tall and elegant tent, and just as she was about to walk over quickly, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and an attendant walked out of the tent in a wheelchair.

In the wheelchair sat an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a white jade hair crown and a dark brocade robe...... Although An Ruofei didn't know this person, he could also see that he was noble, so he hurriedly saluted without thinking about it.

Seeing An Ruofei saluting to herself, although she was wearing regular clothes, Xi Luan still recognized her at a glance. His memory is excellent, don't say that An Ruofei that night is so eye-catching, even if it is just a random glance at a stranger, Xi Luan can never forget it.

"Selmen doesn't have to be formal." I don't know why, when I saw An Ruofei, Xi Luan's heart was slight, and he actually felt like a brother and an elder brother to her.

An Ruofei was stunned, "Do you recognize me?" ”

"Hmm......" Xi Luan chuckled calmly, "Si Le was born with a familiar face, who wouldn't recognize it?" ”

An Ruofei suddenly understood in his heart that this person was also at the palace banquet that night, so he replied very politely: "You praised it falsely, but you don't know the identity of the honorable driver, and I don't know how to call it." ”

"My name is Xi Luan." His voice is very clear, warm as jade, which makes people feel good when they hear it.

"It turned out to be the ...... of Huan Guohou" An Ruofei never thought that he would meet Xi Yan's eldest brother here, and since he knew his identity, An Ruofei saluted again, "I have seen Master Hou." ”

"No need," Xi Luan replied lightly, "That day, Ansler came to the mansion to find my third brother, and I happened to see it in the attic." I've always lived in seclusion, but I didn't know that Si Le and my third brother still had such a relationship......"

When An Ruofei heard this, he only thought that Xi Luan had misunderstood, so he explained: "I was really forced to enter the mansion that day, and the reason for this is ...... Not in a few words can explain it. I also hope you don't misunderstand, I and the third son...... It's not what you think. ”

"Sealer misunderstood...... Ben Hou doesn't mind, it's just that my younger brother is a little lonely and arrogant, and he can have a confidant...... It's good in the end. ”

"Yes......" An Ruofei didn't know how to continue, racking his brains to think, "It's just...... We...... I ......"

"Well, I won't and don't want to look into your business." Xi Luan smiled gently, waved his hand and signaled An Ruofei not to continue, "The third brother is my closest brother, how could he allow him to step into his Begonia Courtyard?" Benhou has no intention of caring about you...... Selmer, please come back. ”

After saying this, Xi Luan motioned to his entourage and pushed him back into the camp. In this case, An Ruofei was even more difficult to stay for a long time, and slowly returned to his camp after saluting.

Unlike the comfort in the camp, the forest on the outskirts of the paddock was a scene of complete excitement. The vast majority of people choose to hunt in shallow forests with good light, and due to the large number of people, it is not uncommon for several people to compete for a single prey.

After Xi Yan hunted a few rabbits, Yixing was already out of luck, and at this time he had dismounted and walked, boredly using a horsewhip to whip the deep grass and trees on the ground, letting the horse walk lazily and lazily, and Xi Yun also followed Xi Yan lazily like this, and even held a long weed in his mouth.

Xi Yan glanced back, but saw Situ Yizheng coming over with more than a dozen attendants, so he raised his voice slightly, and turned to Xi Yun very casually: "Most of the forests on the periphery only have rabbits and wild deer, and they want to hunt wild beasts...... And go deeper into the woods. Let's go inside. ”

These words are neither light nor heavy, and they just fell on Situ Yizheng's ears. He was a person who was very happy, and he was not willing to compete with others on the periphery, but at this moment, he heard that there were fierce beasts in the dense forest, and his heart was even more happy...... As long as you can hunt fierce beasts, the first share of the limelight and the emperor's reward will all fall on you.

Thinking of this, the corners of Situ Yizheng's mouth couldn't help but smile smugly, he shook the whip in his hand vigorously, and galloped away into the depths of the woods first.

Looking at Situ Yizheng's distant figure, Xi Yun glanced at Xi Yan inquiringly. Seeing that Xi Yan agreed, Xi Yun did not hesitate to turn over and throw off the horsewhip. Sa Luzi hissed in pain, Xi Yun tightened the reins in his hand, took a shortcut in the other direction, and also galloped away into the depths of the dense forest.

Xi Yun and Situ Yizheng were gone, but Xi Yan had been waiting in place, and there was no change in expression on his face. He stared thoughtfully at the birch tree beside him, and as soon as he raised his hand, he broke a branch and held it in his hand.

Looking at the straight branch, Xi Yan checked its weight again, and after all aspects were very suitable, he took out a short saber shaped like a dagger from his arms, which was the one that Qi An lost to him.

Meticulously peeled off all the bark with a short blade, and Xi Yan cut one end of the branch very sharply. No sooner had he done these things than two beast roars faintly sounded from the depths of the woods.

Xi Yan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and after a while, he hurried to the depths of the forest. At this moment, his eyes were no longer as leisurely as Fang Cai, but were replaced by a cold light as frost.
