Chapter 357: Amazing Bet
At the end of February, when the north was still icy and snowy, the southern foot of Manglong Mountain quietly had the breath of spring.
The vast primeval forest has become lush and green, and after a night of light rain, countless wildflowers bloom on the field, and wild beasts that have been dormant all winter come out of their nests to feed, and the mountains suddenly become vibrant.
Yanjing Shanglin Garden, is the royal hunting ground of the Great Yan Royal, a radius of more than 100 miles, including a large area of plains, mountains, forests, canyons and streams, every year to the beginning of spring, there will be the children of the royal family to call friends to come to the green, hunting, gradually become a royal tradition.
The people of Dayan are strong, the Yan royal family has always been martial, and the king who can ascend to the throne has never been a weak person without the strength of a chicken, and hunting in Shanglin has naturally become an excellent opportunity for the children of the royal family to show their strength Chapter 357 Amazing bets, so on the first day of hunting in Shanglin Yuan, it attracted more than a large number of people to come.
It was still morning, the royal manor located at the foot of the Qingsong Peak of Manglong Mountain was already very lively, white and golden tents were erected on the verdant grass, and a large number of attendants and maids kept shuttling back and forth in the tents, laughing and laughing one after another.
Anyone who knows about the Dayan royal family can distinguish the identity of the owner from the flags standing in front of different tents, there are six of His Royal Highnesses the princes, three princesses, and nine of the seven daughters and twelve sons of Emperor Longwu came in one breath, which is definitely a rare event.
Although most of the princes and princesses have their own fiefs, the time they spend in the fiefdom is definitely far less than the time in Yanjing, and no one wants to easily leave the sight of His Majesty the Emperor.
Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng followed Yan Lingyun together and entered the big golden tent located in the center of the manor.
The three-clawed golden dragon flag fluttering in front of the tent clearly showed that this tent belonged to the eldest prince Yan Donglai.
Yan Donglai is the eldest son of Emperor Longwu, but not a son-in-law, his mother is an ordinary concubine in the palace, but after a time with Emperor Longwu, he was fortunate to be pregnant with a dragon seed in Chapter 357 and was promoted to a concubine after giving birth to a dragon son.
The first prince of the Dayan Imperial Family is not from a high background, and his mother family has no power at all, and he has no outstanding talents, and he has never been a popular candidate to compete for the position of crown prince.
However, Yan Donglai is generous and calm, and loves all his younger brothers and sisters, although Emperor Longwu is not very fond of him, but he trusts him quite a lot, so even if he is unruly and untamed like Yan Chaozong, he also maintains due respect for this eldest brother.
When Qin Yun and Yan Lingyun came in, Yan Donglai was talking with his entourage, and when he saw Yan Lingyun, he immediately got up and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Qi is here, come and sit here, we will wait for you!"
Yan Lingyun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Little brother to meet eldest brother, let the brothers and sisters wait for a long time!"
Yan Donglai took his hand and said with a smile: "How can you wait for a long time, everyone has just come." ”
This eldest prince is in his thirties, burly and good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face, and he does not look like the slightest arrogance and arrogance of a royal nobleman.
Yan Lingyun sat down in his place, and Qin Yun and Fang Feicheng stood behind him.
There were already five princes and three princesses in the big tent, everyone was sitting on the left and right sides of Yan Donglai, each with two entourage guards or maids, and Yan Lingyun happened to be opposite Yan Chaozong.
Qin Yun noticed that there were two sword cultivators standing behind Yan Chaozong, who looked ordinary and not the slightest bit unusual.
Fang Feicheng next to him lowered his voice and said: "The people from the Iga Sword Sect are not here, but Iga Feng is definitely here, according to the previous practice, there is a celebratory banquet after the hunt, and the Yan Dynasty Sect should send Iga Feng to challenge you at that time!"
Qin Yun nodded quietly.
At this time, I only heard Yan Donglai say loudly: "Brothers and sisters of the emperor, this year's Shanglin hunt is still presided over by me, and this year my father has given three enshrined royal products as a reward for the winners of the spring hunt."
Before he could speak, the curtain door of the big tent was suddenly opened, and a red figure broke in like a whirlwind, and a crisp laugh like a silver bell rang out.
"Hehe, you're all here, it seems that the little sister is not too late, I have booked a reward from my father!"
The person who came was a beautiful girl of twenty-eight years old, with a snow-white complexion and picturesque eyebrows, and a fiery red skirt outlined her graceful figure extremely attractively.
Yan Donglai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Twelfth sister, why are you here today?"
The girl in the red dress wrinkled her little nose, and said very dissatisfied: "Brothers and sisters can come, why can't I come, I have won today's hunting champion, and the Haidong Pearl given by my father belongs to me!"
There was an uproar in the big tent, and Yan Lingyun said with a smile: "Twelfth sister, if you like Haidongzhu, no matter who takes the champion, we will give it to you, okay?" There are a lot of demon beasts in Shanglin Yuan, so it's better not to go, lest everyone worry about you!"
"Hmph!" The girl in the red dress didn't appreciate it, and said angrily: "Seventh brother, don't look down on people, I invited two masters to help today, I will never lose to you, I don't want others to send it, I have to win it myself!"
Yan Donglai smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay! It's okay for you to participate, but you must not run around." ”
Although the scope of Shanglin Yuan is very large, most of the beasts in it are ordinary beasts, and the number of demon beasts is very large, and occasionally one or two fierce beasts appear, and it will not pose a threat to the princes and princesses with expert guards.
However, if you leave the confines of Shanglin Yuan and break into the depths of Manglong Mountain, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Fang Feicheng whispered to Qin Yun: "This is the Twelfth Princess Yan Feifei"
Among the nineteen children of Emperor Longwu, the twelfth princess Yan Feifei is one of the most favored people, it is said that Emperor Longwu once favored her mother Wang Guifei, but it is a pity that Wang Guifei died shortly after giving birth to Yan Feifei.
Emperor Longwu's favor and lack of mother's care and teaching, so Her Royal Highness the princess has been willful and rude since she was a child, and she has the name of "female devil" among the noble children of Yanjing, which is extremely difficult to provoke.
"Big brother, don't worry, announce the start quickly!" I saw her pat her saber and said, "We can't wait, time is limited, if you don't go, the monsters will run out!"
Yan Donglai could only say: "Then let's start, this year's rules are the same as in previous years, the hunting time is still three days, you must come back before sunset, everything must be safety first!"
"Hooray, I'll go first!"
The girl in the red dress waited for his words, and immediately rushed out like a whirlwind, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The other princes and princesses also got up one after another, for them, hunting in Shanglin is nothing more than entertainment, it doesn't matter whether they can get the champion or not, at most it is a bit tempting for Emperor Longwu's reward.
"Seventh brother, you didn't come to Shanglin to hunt last time, but this time you have to have a good time" Yan Chaozong suddenly said: "Why don't we set up a lottery, what do you think?"
All the princes and princesses who were about to leave stopped, and Yan Donglai frowned, but didn't say anything.
The contradiction between the three princes and the seventh prince is already an open secret in Yanjing, since Yan Lingyun returned to Yanjing from the Tiancheng Sword Sect Yicheng, Yan Chaozong has repeatedly provoked Yan Lingyun, and the little Yingzhou swordsman Yi He Feng recruited defeated Yan Lingyun several master guards in a row, cutting Yan Lingyun's face.
Now that Yan Chaozong is attacking Yan Lingyun again in Shanglin hunting, no one will be surprised.
But no one is willing to come forward to interfere, and many people even wish that the two of them would fight to the death, under the temptation of the interests of the imperial power, the family affection of the children of the royal family is really worthless!
And Yan Donglai's temperament is even softer, and he is not able to mediate the dispute between the two younger brothers.
Facing Yan Chaozong's provocation, Yan Lingyun smiled faintly and said, "Since the third brother is interested, the younger brother should accompany him, I don't know what the third brother wants to use as a bet?"
Yan Chaozong said with a big grin: "Of course, gambling is gambling money, how about 30,000 pieces of spirit jade?"
30,000 pieces of spirit jade! Everyone present secretly gasped.
Although they are all children of the royal family, if there is no powerful force or rich territory behind them, there are not many common things to receive from the royal family every month, and 30,000 pieces of spirit jade is an astonishing wealth for most of them.
The stakes are just too big!
Several princes and princesses looked at Yan Lingyun with a hint of sympathy in their eyes, the mother clan behind Yan Chaozong was huge, and he had a territory with a good income, so it was easy to take out 30,000 pieces of spiritual jade.
But Yan Lingyun was different, 30,000 spirit jade might be all his savings.
Yan Chaozong casually said a word, and forced Yan Lingyun into a corner, although the latter could not accept such a heavy bet at all, but it was undoubtedly equivalent to admitting his disappointment.
Dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Yan Lingyun's body at the same time, not knowing what choice he would make.
The smile on Yan Lingyun's face did not change in the slightest, as if the thirty thousand spirit jade was just three pieces of spirit jade, and he smiled calmly: "The third brother is merciful, you have a lot of money, and the junior brother of the thirty thousand spirit jade can't take it out."
Is this going to admit defeat? Everyone thought secretly, but it also made sense.
Yan Chaozong's face suddenly appeared with a look of ridicule, but what everyone didn't expect was that Yan Lingyun's words hadn't finished yet: "How about changing it to 20,000 spirit jade plus five shops on Changqing Street?"
Sizzle!
Many people gasped and were stunned!
Changqing Street is one of the most prosperous streets in Yanjing City, the paving on the street is expensive, and the value of the five shops is definitely far more than 10,000 spirit jade, where is Yan Lingyun admitting defeat, he is obviously increasing the bet!
There is no doubt that this is Yan Lingyun's fierce counterattack against Yan Chaozong.
Don't you want to bet? Then just bet bigger!!!
