Chapter 61: The Hunting Tournament
Since it's summer, the sun is already hanging high, even if it's still early.
The fiery sun was red and round, and the hot sun shone on the ground, and the ground was almost baked.
At this time, outside the gate of the capital, there were a large number of people standing, all of them with vigorous posture and exquisite equipment, standing outside the city gate, with a happy smile on their faces.
The hunting tournament is held once a year, which is a good opportunity to relax, and it is also a good opportunity for fate to show your talents and become a knight.
The hunting tournament is not just a tournament for honor, it is also a good opportunity for promotion.
Every year, Long Yuechen will pick out some people with good performance from the hunting competition, let them be promoted, and give them some titles to reward them, and at the same time, it also shows that Jialing is full of talents, all of whom are brave people.
Therefore, the number of people who come to participate in the hunting competition every year is naturally countless.
Among them, young and vigorous people are in the majority.
First, because they are young, their physical strength is naturally better than that of the older generation.
Second, the older generation is old and has little opportunity to be added to the ranks, so they prefer to leave their opportunities to future generations, so that they can win the opportunity and inherit their glory.
There was a large group of people standing outside the palace gate, but Long Yuechen didn't speak for a long time, and now left, but kept looking inside the palace gate with his eyes full of wisdom, because of Long Yuechen's actions, the guards at the palace gate did not close the door, so everyone could easily see what was inside the palace gate.
The palace gate is very large, and there are many scenery presented, but they have watched for a long time, except for the palace maids who are in a hurry one after another, other people rarely see it.
At the same time, they were also very curious in their hearts, what kind of person actually had such a great ability, so that the emperor could wait for him here for a long time.
Long Yuechen just looked inside patiently, showing a slight expression, frowning, thinking in his heart, why haven't they come yet.
……
After Xia Qiqi put on the eunuch uniform, the whole person was very weird, looking at the bronze mirror, the eunuch-like self, and walked out of the room with a distorted face.
Outside the door, the dazzling sunlight was projected on the eunuch suit, and the pattern on the eunuch suit was greatly exposed.
This was a stunned eunuch's costume.
Xia Qiqi didn't know what Long Yuechen was going to do this time, and he didn't expect that he was a eunuch and had a promotion, so he was directly promoted to the position of chief eunuch.
When Xia Qiqi walked in front of Jing Yi step by step, Jing Yi was also stunned for a moment, and then covered her mouth and wanted to laugh, Xia Qiqi came over with a sharp and complaining look, and she didn't smile in an instant.
At the same time, not far from her, two figures also walked out one after another, one shouting happily and the other smiling helplessly.
The three of them did not come together, the route of the palace is complicated, even if the three of them are not very far apart, there are many roads in between, and it is a little difficult to get together, but it is not impossible.
It's about having that bit of fate.
Between people, there will always be so many fates, and it is precisely because of those fates that bind people together that there will be so many touches, sadness, pain, and infatuation later...... And hatred.
Fate is such a thing, not everything is good, many people hate each other because of fate, and many people crave that fate, and in the end, they are teased by fate and become pitiful......
Xia Qiqi met two other people when he was about to arrive at the palace gate.
When I saw their appearance, I was slightly stunned.
One is a pink and lovely dragon Lingyue, and the other is a blue, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Because of this hunting competition, Long Lingyue copied all the national laws early for the first time, ran to Long Yuechen, and prayed to Long Yuechen, and Long Yuechen let her out.
And Fu Li, he is invited to the hunting competition every year, but he does not appear every year, but this year, he appeared because of someone.
The three of them saw each other, looked at each other and smiled, among them, Long Lingyue was the happiest, she didn't meet, Fu Li actually came this time, and there was no chasing wind behind, I heard that this hunting competition came to a special way to play, requiring the contestants to be a group of four, if there are four people...... Her beautiful and aura eyes swirled on Xia Qiqi and Fu Li's bodies.
Seventh Brother must be with the master, and with Fu Li's attitude towards the master, Fu Li must also want to be with the master, so there are three people, plus she is here...... Exactly four people!
Thinking of this, Long Lingyue couldn't help but smile crookedly.
Xia Qiqi and Fu Li glanced at Long Lingyue strangely, and in the end, the two looked at each other helplessly and smiled.
Only Jing Yi stood by coldly, looking at Fu Li from afar, if his intuition was good, between Fu Li and Xia Qiqi......
Fu Li's eyes turned quickly, and then he stepped forward and said, It's not too early, everyone should leave quickly.
Then, I went first.
And Xia Qiqi and they also followed.
……
Outside the palace gate, there were many whispers of discussion.
I don't know who it is, they actually let their emperor wait for so long, their emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, even if he goes to other countries, no one dares to let him wait so long, when did their country have such a person who can make their emperor wait for so long?
Wei Heng had been standing beside Long Yuechen, and he couldn't help but look sideways at Long Yuechen.
As for their emperor, why he waited here for so long, he naturally knew the reason, and he also knew who he was waiting for. So, I'm not so surprised, it's just that time has been delayed for so long, and today's hunting tournament may not end for a long time.
The hunting competition in Jialing will be held for three days in total, and there will be a specified time every day, and everyone will hunt within the specified time, and there will be many guards guarding nearby, and if someone is found to be cheating secretly, the person will be expelled and disqualified from the competition.
They used to go when the sun first appeared, the sun set to rest, and now the sun has long been high, and it is estimated that when today's hunting competition is over, I am afraid it will be night.
This is what he is most worried about, the location of the hunting competition is not in the imperial city, but in a black fog forest outside the city, that is Jialing, and it is also one of the largest forests in the world, the forest is not only large, but also lives in many nocturnal animals, those animals sleep during the day, and start to move after dark, fierce and brutal, and it is a collective action, if you meet at night, it is definitely not easy to deal with.
This is still second, the forest is far away from the imperial city, and all the guards guard it, but after all, it is not in the imperial city, and the terrain is complicated, if something really happens at that time, this far water can't save the near fire, he is afraid that something will happen to their emperor.
And this time, Feng Mingao, the third prince of Northern Hebei, secretly infiltrated their country, he didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world, Feng Mingao was extremely insidious, to say something bad, he was very likely to know about this hunting competition, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill their emperor.
In addition, Xia Wenjin is there again, before the Xia family is destroyed, he is the son of the prime minister, he is very clear about the affairs of the palace, and he participates in the hunting competition every year, and he understands the rules of this forest and the entire event very clearly, he is very likely to tell Feng Mingao about this matter, and it will be the real danger at that time!
Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Wei Heng's forehead became more and more, and he looked at Long Yuechen again, and just wanted to speak, but a cheerful voice came from not far away
"Seventh brother, seventh brother! I'm coming! ”
I saw a petite pink body, jumping up and running towards this quickly, followed by two figures, one with a fluttering coat and a graceful demeanor, and the other ...... It turned out to be a short eunuch.
In an instant, everyone looked at Xia Qiqi with extremely strange eyes.
At this time, Fu Li was telling Xia Qiqi something interesting, and after listening to it, she was about to cover her mouth and laugh, but she suddenly felt countless fiery eyes.
She looked up innocently, and was surprised to find that she had now arrived at the gate of the palace, and that those who had cast a fiery glance at her were all well-equipped and looked energetic.
However, why did they look at themselves from the bottom up, and after reading it, they were very sympathetic and looked at her with a little contempt.
At this time, Xia Qiqi probably didn't realize that he was dressed now, so he had to look at everyone blankly.
Since Jing Yi left Xia Qiqi, he came here quickly, and was standing on the other side of Long Yuechen, and saw Xia Qiqi's stupid expression, and then said coldly, "Stupid." ”
Jing Yi is a person who practices martial arts, and his voice can be grasped accurately, he deliberately said it very quietly, only Long Yuechen and Wei Heng heard it, and Xia Qiqi didn't hear it, he kept looking at everyone in confusion, and finally, he stupidly stretched out his right hand and waved his paw at everyone, with a smile on his face.
Xia Qiqi thought that they were welcoming themselves to join them, so he beckoned to them, but after beckoning, he found that they were still looking at her, and he felt weird, so he hurriedly ran to Fu Li's side and asked secretly, Fu Li heard it, and then laughed, like a spring breeze in April, gently reminding her.
"Look at your clothes now."
After Xia Qiqi heard this, he immediately looked down at his clothes, blue, eunuch clothes!
In an instant, the five thunders thundered, and her face turned red, and she immediately understood the eyes of those people.
"Alas, little brother, I didn't expect you to be so tall, as a man, I sympathize with you......"
Xia Qiqi was a little angry.
In this world, there is one thing that cannot be said, that is, Xia Qiqi's height.
Height, for Duoxia Qiqi, is a shame, in her previous life, her height was only 1.62 meters, smaller than anyone in the organization, so people often use this matter to ridicule her, saying that she can't reach anything, and wants to be a thief.
And in this life, her current body is even more powerful than her previous life, her height is only one meter five eight, and now she is wearing a eunuch suit, and the eunuch uniform has always been worn by the kind of person who is neither male nor female, but that kind of person was originally a man, so the height will naturally not be low, she is now a woman's body, dressed as a eunuch, they naturally regard her as a eunuch, so they will cast a sympathetic expression on her.
Damn Long Yuechen!
Xia Qiqi's eyes widened, glaring at Long Yuechen in front of her, if he hadn't asked her to dress like this, she wouldn't have been sympathized.
Long Yuechen naturally received Xia Qiqi's murderous gaze, but he didn't speak, just said coldly, "Since everyone is here, let's go." Then, he went out first, and the others hurriedly followed him.
