"Why should I admit defeat when the victory is in my hands."

As soon as these firm words came out, let alone the courtiers, even Xiao Xiazi behind Shi Yu couldn't hold back the twitching of the corners of his mouth.

Nie Zhaoyi's heart was even more speechless for a while, "Brother Huang's self-confidence is really impressive. ”

Shi Yu smiled calmly, as if he didn't hear the irony in his words, "Confidence is also because I have this ability." ”

The corners of his lips were raised, his eyebrows and eyes were bright, and Nie Zhaoyi was in a trance for a moment when he looked like this, as if the person in front of him was really winning.

But it was only for a moment, and he felt ridiculous because of his own thought.

"Heh, then the younger brother is just waiting to see how the imperial brother can turn things around in one day."

Nie Shiyu wants to win, unless the sun hits the west and comes out, it will never be possible.

Shi Yu took Xiao Xiazi into the mountain forest, and after the two left, Jing Heng was late.

"The Overseer is late, and he missed the good show that the imperial brother was full of confidence and boasted that he could win." Nie Zhaoyi looked at Jing Heng coldly, and a layer of frost formed under his eyes.

"Weichen doesn't think the emperor is boasting." Jing Heng looked at the entrance of the mountain forest not far away.

"Why, could it be that Lord Cheng Jing also thinks that the imperial brother can win?" Nie Zhaoyi scoffed.

Jing Heng glanced at Nie Zhaoyi, "It seems that the losses suffered by the five princes at the hands of the emperor before were not enough. ”

Nie Zhaoyi's face was cold, thinking of all the things before, and his heart was a little angry.

"Lord Jing also said, that was before, as for the future......"

Nie Zhaoyi coldly retracted his gaze, a dark glint crossed his face, "It is not yet known who killed the deer." ”

Jing Heng also retracted his gaze, the afterglow swept over his sleeve, and the next moment, he raised his hand and took off a wolf hair stained on it, and chuckled helplessly.

It is indeed unknown who killed the deer, but let alone Nie Shiyu, even the little wolf cub he sent was not a worry-free thing to make a fuss.

After the hunting a few days ago, there was not much prey in the forest, and most of the remaining ones were very cunning and agile, and it was difficult to catch.

And as time passed, the contestants who entered the forest also returned one after another, and most of them had no gain.

In the end, only Shi Yu had not yet appeared.

Seeing that the two hours were approaching, Chaiyun whispered to Jing Heng: "Overseer, do you need to send someone to find the emperor?" ”

"What, are you worried that Nie Shiyu won't show up?" Jing Heng sat on the chair and opened his eyes sideways.

Chaiyun looked at the others again and lowered his voice, "The subordinates are worried, the emperor has forgotten the time when he eats barbecue!" ”

According to the report of the secret guard who followed the emperor, in the past few days, although the emperor seemed to have found nothing, he nested in the forest and ate a lot of barbecue.

Yihan hunting, Xiao Xiazi roasting, the emperor sprinkled seasonings, the division of labor is called a clear!

It can only be said that fortunately, the emperor acted in secrecy and was not bumped into by others, otherwise his backbone would have been broken.

Jing Heng couldn't help laughing, a smile floated on his face, which suddenly provoked many people to look at it.

"It doesn't matter." Jing Heng didn't lower his voice anymore, but spoke normally, "If the emperor can't show up at the specified time, he will naturally be sentenced to lose." ”

"The Overseer is really unsympathetic." Shi Yu's voice came from the forest, and the next moment, she walked out of the forest alone.

Seeing Shi Yu returning empty-handed, many people were a little disappointed, but they took it for granted.

Sure enough, the emperor still got nothing, but they waited for so long, and they thought there would be some turnaround.

"What about the royal brother's prey?" Nie Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, teasing in his eyes.

Shi Yu shook his head, "Don't worry, I want to ask first, how many prey the fifth brother has hunted in the past few days." ”

"Back to the emperor, the five princes harvested a total of forty-three prey, ranking first on the list." The official in charge of recording the report.

"So as long as I have more than forty-three prey, I win, right?" Shi Yu said.

"Back to the emperor, yes." The officer nodded.

"That's good." Shi Yu smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Take it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed.

Could it be that the emperor hunted more than forty-three prey in just one day?

And Nie Zhaoyi felt that it was impossible.

Everyone stared at Shi Yu's back in unison.

But then, they saw Xiao Xiazi and Yi Han walking out with a wooden barrel.

And inside the barrel is ......

"Fish?" Someone couldn't help but speak.

I saw that the two wooden barrels were full of fish, and there were even many small fry.

After a period of silence, Nie Zhaoyi took the lead in frowning and said, "Brother Huang, is this trying to trick and take fish as prey?" ”

"The fifth brother has to be responsible when he speaks, why is this fish not a prey."

"How can a fish be counted as prey!"

"First of all, they are living creatures, and secondly, I have cast a net to catch them in the lake, and thirdly, the lake is in the mountains and forests where I hunt, so how can it be counted?"

Shi Yu smiled and spoke, his eyes sweeping over the courtiers present.

"Or is there any rule of autumn hunting that specifically states that fish can't be considered prey?"

The courtiers looked at each other, and there were really no rules that stipulated that fish could not be considered prey.

Nie Zhaoyi's face turned blue, "When the imperial brother agreed to the competition, he thought about using this trick at the beginning?" ”

No wonder Nie Shiyu agreed so happily before, it turned out that he was ready to play tricks here!

"Yes." Shi Yu nodded calmly.

Before she arrived, she had probably looked at the hunting grounds and the surrounding map, and noticed a lake in the middle of the forest.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, but later, when Nie Zhaoyi proposed a competition, she immediately thought of this trick.

And in order to prevent Nie Zhaoyi from detecting it in advance and deliberately destroying it, before coming over today, she had already asked Jing Heng to enter the forest first with the fishing nets and wooden barrels that had been quietly prepared.

Nie Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and looked at Shi Yu, choking uncomfortably in his heart, but Shi Yu didn't forget to continue to smile at him.

"Do you want the fifth brother to count it himself, maybe there are not enough fish in it for forty-three."

"Not necessarily!" Nie Zhaoyi's face darkened, since Nie Shiyu had thought about it, how could he not be enough to use this trick!

Although Nie Zhaoyi didn't count, the official in charge naturally still had to register, so he stepped forward and counted the number of fish.

Shi Yu didn't forget to remind him to be careful, and when the inventory was finished, the fish and fry would be released back into the lake.

"Brother Huang is merciful." Nie Zhaoyi's tone was sarcastic.

Shi Yu glanced at him and said with a smile: "That's natural, after all, I'm not like someone, I'm just at the top of the killing list." ”

"You!" Nie Zhaoyi finally eased up a little, and his face turned dark again.

"Overseer, my subordinates really think that maybe one day the five princes will be directly angry with the emperor!" Chasing Yun couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Jing Heng smiled in his heart, looked at Shi Yu, looked at the two buckets of fish, and said, "Weichen is a little curious. ”

In a word, it instantly drew everyone's attention over.

"What is the Overseer curious about?" Shi Yu looked at Jing Heng.

The latter lazily hooked his lips and smiled with a smile in his eyes, "If you find that there are no fish in the lake after the competition, what is the emperor going to do?" ”
