29.Chapter 29
The next day.
There are only three days left before the autumn hunt is held, and at this time, the entire Ye family is also lively, the performance of the family's autumn hunting can be said to determine the status of a family in disguise, because the participants in the autumn hunt are the leaders of the younger generation of the major families, and the strength of a family can be best reflected in the younger generation.
Every year, there are not many opportunities for major families to show their strength, and the importance of this family's autumn hunt is self-evident, as a grand event held every year, each family takes this autumn hunt very seriously.
The Ye family's past achievements are not ideal, so many people are pinning their hopes on this autumn hunt, after all, this generation of Ye family's descendants have grown up very well, among which there is Ye Xuan, a dark horse, and the results of this autumn hunt are worth looking forward to.
Ye Xuan and the other three people who were involved in the family's autumn hunt set off in the early morning, thousands of miles away from Tianyuan County, and they had to set off in advance to catch up with the start of the autumn hunt. If you are late, you will be deemed to have given up your qualification automatically and will not be given a second chance.
Between the north and south of the Great Xia Kingdom, there is a Cangjiang River that stretches for more than ten counties, as the main artery connecting more than ten counties, along the Cangjiang River by waterway, it will shorten the distance between Tianyang County and Tianyuan County, obviously in comparison, it is obviously more convenient to take the waterway.
When Ye Xuan and the three of them hurried to the ferry in the east of the city, there was already a speedboat waiting on the shore as if it was made of fine iron.
At the bow of the ship, there is a military flag fluttering, this kind of fast boat, is not an ordinary wooden ship, but a century-old wooden shipwreck used for reconnaissance in the army, the speed is extremely fast, and the material is hard, even if it accidentally hits the reef, there will be no ship destruction and death, in this fast flow of the Cangjiang River, safe and fast, there is no worries.
However, when Ye Xuan and the three of them arrived at the ferry, the people of the Qi family had already boarded the ship first, and the sons sent by the Qi family, in addition to Qi Shaofeng, there were three others, but their cultivation was inferior, and it seemed that Qi Shaofeng was the leader.
"Hehe, this time the Ye family is really headed by Brother Ye Xuan, it seems that this time the family autumn hunt, the Ye family is going to show its majesty......"
Ye Xuan had just dismounted and was about to board the ship, but Qi Shaofeng and the others greeted him, with a smile on their faces, as if they had no grudges against Ye Xuan at all, and they were intimate.
That Ye Ba and Ye Yan also felt a little unbelievable, they hadn't known Qi Shaofeng for a day or two, with each other's personalities, they were humiliated by Ye Xuan last time, and they must have hated the latter to death, how could they still take the initiative to say hello with such a hippie smile?
"Now that the two families have arrived, let's give the order to sail. β
Ye Xuan didn't pay attention to the other party, and after boarding the boat, he opened his mouth and instructed the boatman not far away.
"Brother Ye Xuan, don't worry, we from the three families of Tianyang County can only sail when we are here. Now the people of the Nangong family have not yet come, and the ship cannot be driven yet. Qi Shaofeng didn't seem to mind Ye Xuan's attitude at all, and said with a smile.
"Nangong family?"
Ye Xuan was stunned, the current Nangong family, how can there be any descendants, and the Nangong family seems to have not participated in the autumn hunt for some years.
"Brother Ye Xuan!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the ferry port, Ye Xuan followed the prestige, but he saw a beautiful figure wearing purple soft armor galloping on horseback, such a familiar and delicate face, who is it not Nangong Yao?
"Why are you here?"
After Nangong Yao approached, Ye Xuan couldn't help frowning, although the Xuanyin body in the other party's body was suppressed for the time being, but after all, it was not eradicated, the family autumn hunting, after all, was facing demon beasts, and there were still some risks. Nangong Yao, a weak girl's family, is not suitable to participate in this kind of thing.
"I am representing the Nangong family this time, and my grandfather has agreed. Besides, he is also a third-grade martial artist now, and he is not a woman who is powerless, so you don't have to worry about me. β
Afraid that Ye Xuan would not believe it, Nangong Yao also immediately urged the true qi in his body, and in an instant, a cold fluctuation diffused from his body, and that kind of strength had indeed reached the realm of a third-grade martial artist.
Ye Xuan's eyes froze, and he was very surprised by the progress of the former, in just less than two months, Nangong Yao had actually improved from the second grade to the third grade, this kind of speed was not slow compared to him, but Ye Xuan knew how hard it took him to improve to the current realm, but Nangong Yao was actually almost the same as him in the realm.
"Since the power of Xuanyin can bring me benefits, presumably Yao'er herself can try to control it now, otherwise, she would not be able to progress so fast. β
The thoughts in his mind turned, and Ye Xuan quickly came up with a reason, this change is afraid that it is inseparable from the body of Xuanyin.
"Forget it, but when it's time for the autumn hunt, you must follow me and don't run around. Ye Xuan knew that it was impossible to ask Nangong Yao to go back now, so he could only let the other party follow, and the danger of this family's autumn hunting was not great, after all, the status of these princes was not low, and the court was responsible for damaging any of them.
But among the children of the family, not necessarily all of them are of noble character, and there are many treacherous people, so the demon beasts are not the most dangerous, the most dangerous, but those children of the family.
"Hmm. β
Hearing that Ye Xuan didn't rush him back, Nangong Yaoqiao's face was also immediately happy, and then she showed a little daughter's appearance, followed behind Ye Xuan, and saw this scene in her eyes, Qi Shaofeng's eyes also had a trace of coldness, but this coldness was quickly hidden by him, and no one noticed it.
"Let's go!"
He waved to the boatman, and then the ship lifted anchor and set sail towards the mighty river, and began to flow downstream......
......
The sunken wood ship has two floors, and there are more than a dozen rooms in the cabin, which can fully accommodate Ye Xuan's party, and there is still a surplus.
After getting on the boat, he also chose to touch the material, and tried to pinch it hard, but Ye Xuan's face finally showed a trace of surprise.
"With the true qi of the hidden dragon on the second and third layers of my current transformation, I can only pinch out such a trace of fingerprints... This century-old sunken wood is really good. Looking down, there were only a few faint fingerprints on the side of the ship that he had pinched just now. In this way, Ye Xuan was relieved.
At the speed of a sunken ship, you can reach Tenhara-gun in three days.
There was nothing to do for two days, Ye Xuan spent it in his room, this time he came out in a hurry, he didn't completely adjust his body after the breakthrough, and through these two days, he recovered his body to the best state.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Ye Xuan was standing at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, according to the previous prediction, he would be able to arrive at the original county town of Tianyuan today at the latest.
Rustling......
A burst of light footsteps sounded on the deck behind him, and then a soft voice came, "It's cold on the river, Brother Ye Xuan, take care of your body." β
"This bit of cold doesn't matter, but your body can't stand the cold, so it's better to try to come out as little as possible. β
Ye Xuan shook his head, with the Hidden Dragon True Qi Protector, the general cold qi could not cause any damage to him.
"Brother Ye Xuan, is he thinking about the autumn hunt? I heard that this autumn hunt is presided over by Princess Xia Xun, the daughter of the monarch Xia You. I heard grandpa say, this princess Xia Xun, do you have a marriage contract with Brother Ye Xuan?" Nangong Yao suddenly raised her head, looked at Ye Xuan with beautiful eyes, and asked.
"That's right. β
Ye Xuan did not deny that this matter, many people know, it is not a secret.
"Then does Brother Ye Xuan like her?"
Nangong Yao's little face was faintly nervous.
"A woman who has only met once, I can't talk about whether I like it or not. This marriage contract is just a formality, and Princess Xia Xun's eyes are above the top, and she can't look down on a small role like me. β
The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth flashed a little mockery, and in his memory, his fiancΓ©e never seemed to have taken the previous Ye Xuan in his eyes, because the latter was not enough for this weight.
"That's because she has a problem with her vision. Nangong Yao pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan also smiled, and was about to answer, when his face suddenly changed slightly, and then he looked at the direction of the port side, "A ship is coming over." β
Nangong Yao's face also changed slightly, and in his sight, it was also a similar sunken wooden ship, which seemed to be deliberately approaching, and across the river, Ye Xuan could see several figures, and there were also some young people dressed as children of the family on the deck, and it seemed that they were also going to participate in the autumn hunt.
Among them, the leader was a young man in white, holding a folding fan, and the jade tree was in the wind, but he looked like a son of a family, and this young man obviously knew that he was a child of a family who went to participate in the autumn hunt, and he was looking here with a smile.
However, when the white-clothed young man's gaze fell on Nangong Yao, it seemed to be frozen, and his eyes seemed to glow.
Nangong Yaoliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, she had never encountered this kind of look, and Qi Shaofeng was like this at the beginning, which would only make her very disgusted.
"This beautiful young lady, in Li Xiong, Xia Daxuan County, I don't know the name of the young lady?" The young man in white looked polite, but when he got closer, he became more and more excited, he had never seen such a pure and lovely girl, just by looking at it, it was refreshing and lovable, if it could be taken as a forbidden body, it would be wonderful.
"Daxuanjun Li Xiong?"
Ye Xuan groaned slightly, the Li family in Daxuan County is indeed a big family, but it is much worse than the first-class families such as the Jun family.
"Tianyang County, Nangong Yao. "Nangong Yao also reported her name out of courtesy between the families, anyway, when it comes to the autumn hunt, the other party will naturally know this.
"It turned out to be Miss Nangong, I have heard the good name of Miss Nangong for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, I don't know if I can take the liberty of inviting Miss to sit on the contemptible boat, so that Xiaosheng can witness Miss's peerless demeanor. Li Xiong gracefully fanned the folding fan in his hand, smiling.
"Don't go. This time, Nangong Yao didn't talk nonsense to him anymore, and directly refused.
was rejected so bluntly, Li Xiong was also stunned, this was the first time he was rejected by a woman so bluntly, you must know that with his status and appearance, the woman he wanted almost never missed.
Just when he wanted to continue to say something, Ye Xuan's cold voice suddenly came, "Since you can't say it yet, why bother talking more, please." β
"Who are you?" was interrupted by Ye Xuan, Li Xiong's face also sank slightly, his attention was all on Nangong Yao, and he hadn't noticed Ye Xuan's existence, at first, he thought it was just a small role of a guard or something.
"Ye family, Ye Xuan. β
Ye Xuan's face was indifferent, and he said lightly.
