Chapter 32: A Day in the Hunting Grounds

Zhu Gaoxu walked briskly in the direction of the city gate, and the dark night followed.

Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they walk faster than others.

Within a quarter of an hour of leaving the city gate, the two of them saw a game patrol.

From the outside, Zhu Gaoxu even felt that this was even better than the royal hunting grounds.

Interest welled up in his eyes.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu was a character who liked to fight and kill, and Zhu Di did not allow him to act recklessly in the palace, but he didn't expect that when he came here, he could still hunt.

Zhu Gaoxu's pace accelerated, and the dark night could only speed up again to keep up.

It's just that what the two didn't expect was that when they arrived at the gate of the hunting ground, they asked for a ticket to enter.

"Tickets?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the person in front of him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Yes, if you don't have a ticket, you can go to the side and buy it, you see there is a queue over there, but if you don't have the money, then it's really embarrassing, you can't get into this door today."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the dark night with some helplessness.

"Do you hear me, go over and buy two tickets."

Dark Night nodded and walked towards the ticket office on the side.

Although there may seem to be a lot of people in line, there are not too many people buying tickets.

After all, almost all the idle people in the city will come to see the excitement on this day, but not everyone can get in.

So not long after, Dark Night came back with two tickets.

"Master, this is the ticket."

Dark Night handed the ticket in his hand to Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaochu looked at the piece of paper in his hand with black lines on his head.

Even the words on it are handwritten, and if you want to forge them, I'm afraid it's very easy.

However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about this money, he turned his head and stretched out the ticket in his hand to the doorkeeper.

"Tickets, I just bought them, now you can go in."

The man smiled and welcomed the two in.

After Zhu Gaoxu entered the door, he looked at the huge place in front of him, and the original displeasure in his eyes was slightly reduced.

"Master, this place they fenced off is probably comparable to the royal hunting ground."

The dark night followed Zhu Gaoxu's side and whispered to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

I have to say, he thinks so too.

Not long after the two left, someone shouted to everyone to pass, saying that the county order was about to speak.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't really want to go over, but seeing that the people around him were walking in that direction, he was afraid that being out of place would also arouse the suspicion of the other party.

He just passed.

Zhu Gaoxu squeezed to the front with the dark night, and the two of them looked at Xu Zilin who was standing in the center.

When everyone was almost here, Xu Zilin spoke.

"Today is our monthly hunting day, or the old rule, if someone can hunt the biggest tiger, the position of the leader is his, and if you have any ideas in the future, this county order can be seen for you, and there is, life and death are rich and noble, if you are accidentally injured and killed by a wild beast, it can only be regarded as unlucky."

Xu Zilin said to everyone present with a smile.

But Dark Night frowned slightly.

"Master, their approach is inevitably a bit fatal."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, his eyes were staring at Xu Zilin who was talking, but he also heard what the dark night said.

"It's not that they are sloppy with human life, but as they say, if they are accidentally injured by a wild beast, it is true that their own skills are inferior to others, if they have their own skills, how can the beast be injured."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the dark night.

Dark Night didn't continue to speak, just hung his head.

After Xu Zilin said it for a long time, it finally stopped.

He licked his somewhat dry lips, then reached out and pointed to the side.

"Over there are the flame horses and weapons prepared by the county order for everyone, you can go and choose one now, and then start today's journey!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked in the direction of Xu Zilin's finger, and when he saw those flame horses, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked at the dark night.

"If I'm right, the foal that was brought into the palace earlier is the same as these."

Dark Night nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled lightly, and then followed the pace of the crowd towards the flaming foals.

These flaming foals are very well trained, and none of them go berserk, even though all the people standing in front of them are human.

Zhu Gaoxu picked one casually and jumped on the horse.

Then, Dark Night jumped on a horse beside Zhu Gaoxu.

The two men took the bows and arrows that hung on their horses, and then their legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horses rushed out.

This hunting ground was too big, and the two of them wandered around aimlessly for a long time, but they didn't see the tiger in Xu Zilin's mouth.

After wandering around for two hours, the two only saw some herbivores, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

"Is there really a tiger in this hunting ground, how do I think it's just a gimmick created by Xu Zilin, otherwise why hasn't anyone hit that tiger for so long."

Zhu Gaoxu had impatience in his eyes, he felt that he had been very patient, but he still couldn't find any trace of the tiger.

The dark night on the side was also a little anxious.

However, a horse came out of the bushes in front of them, and there was a familiar figure on the horse's back.

"Aren't these two distinguished guests, why are you here to join in the fun today."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at it, and it was really Xu Zilin.

Only then did he control the horse and slowly walked towards Xu Zilin.

"Xu Xianling, I want to know, is the tiger you are talking about real?"

"Of course it exists, Childe, just because you can't see it, or you can't fight it, you can't slander that there are no tigers in our hunting grounds, right?"

"But we really didn't see the tiger in your mouth, and if there really was such a fierce tiger in this hunting ground according to what you said, why didn't we see it for two hours?"

The dark night on the side also questioned Xu Zilin with some unpleasantness.

"You just haven't found it, go in this direction and you'll see it."

Xu Zilin was not angry, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction in front of him and said to the two.

Now that the direction has been pointed out, the next thing is much easier.

"The prefectural order, after we go back, there are still some things we will personally visit the prefectural magistrate's office, and I hope that the prefectural magistrate can meet us at that time."

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking to Xu Zilin, he left in the direction that Xu Zilin pointed.

Xu Zilin looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and squinted his eyes slightly.

It is indeed good to have a tiger in this hunting ground, but Xu Zilin does not think that they can successfully take down that tiger.
