Chapter Ninety-One: Beiyuan

Ten days of time was fleeting, when Qin Wen walked out of the gate of Duanwang's Mansion with Ao Yu and Lu Mo, a ray of sunlight in the early morning just shone on the plaque on the lintel of Duanwang's Mansion, and outside the gate of the mansion stood neatly the monks who were ready to participate in the hunting, and in front of them was Xiang Hao, who was standing by the white horse, and Lao Gao and Qian San were standing beside him.

Seeing Qin Wen walking out, Xiang Hao smiled and said, "Qin has come out, and now that the number of people is complete, I am waiting for you to go hunting together." ”

Qin Wen walked to Xiang Hao's side, Ao Yu and Lu Mo also followed closely behind him, with Xiang Hao's order, all the people in the Duanwang Mansion walked neatly along the official road to the east, and they also met several other royal teams along the way, and the royal children led by them also greeted Xiang Hao with a smile.

Qin Wen checked the items on his body at this time, the Yanlong Spear was a must-have, including the fifteen spirit runes made by Zheng Pu, and the eleven spars traded by Lao Gao, Qin Wen had already given five to Lu Mo, and the remaining six were in Qin Wen's storage silk bag in case of emergency.

From the avenue on the west side to the intersection leading to the north and south streets, Xiang Hao saw that the monks in front of him who participated in the hunting were all walking towards the north gate, and couldn't help but be stunned, so he turned around and asked Lao Gaodao: "Isn't the hunting in Nanyuan? Why did they all go north?"

Lao Gao opened his mouth and explained: "This time, King Hui made a statement to the Shengshang, saying that the high-level spirit beasts in Beiyuan have been cleared, and there are still some places in Nanyuan that have not had time to be repaired, so this year it will be temporarily changed to Beiyuan to hunt. ”

Xiang Hao couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "This is the Huiwang Mansion to target me, I have been to Beiyuan with my father a few times before, not only is the area much larger than Nanyuan, but the terrain is also more dangerous than Nanyuan, are we too reckless." ”

Qian San next to him hurriedly answered: "Young master, don't worry, the senior management got the news ten days ago, and we also discussed it with Qin Feng, this time we added Ao Yu Monk, and Lu Mo with the array plate, there should be no problem in successfully passing through the hunting Beiyuan." ”

Xiang Hao hesitated for a moment, looked at Qin Wen beside him and said, "Qin Offering, this hunt in Beiyuan is much more dangerous than in Nanyuan, if you don't want to go, I won't be reluctant." ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly: "At the beginning, we were chased and killed by Xiang Kuang all the way from Luming City to the capital, I think it is much more than this hunting adventure, here are just some high-level spirit beasts, we just need to reach the sacrificial platform through Beiyuan, Lao Gao has already told me about the terrain of Beiyuan, it is estimated that it will only take three or four days, no big deal." ”

Xiang Hao looked at Qin Wen with a solemn look in his eyes at this time, and then dismounted and bowed and said, "Thank you for the offering, Xiang Hao will never forget the grace of offering and helping each other for the rest of his life." ”

Qin Wen picked up Xiang Hao with both hands and said: "Since I am the worship of the palace, this is also my duty, so it is polite for the prince to say so." ”

After listening to the conversation between the two in the back, looking at Xiang Hao's expression that was almost moved to tears, Lu Mo couldn't help but pout, and said in a low voice: "It's another trick of the royal family to fool people." ”

Xiang Hao got back on his horse and continued to move forward, and after about a stick of incense, he walked out of the urn city at the north gate, and walked straight for about ten miles, Qin Wen saw that the flag was fluttering on the edge of an empty mountain forest in front of him, and many royal disciples dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts were standing in front of a yellow chariot roof.

Although the number of people is relatively large, and the teams are relatively scattered, they are all unusually quiet, it can be said that they are silent, and there is a certain gap between each team, which shows the difference from other families.

Qian San observed the situation of the team standing at this time, and whispered a few words to Xiang Hao, Xiang Hao waved his hand to the back, then turned the horse's head and walked to the place reserved for Duanwangfu, after stopping in a vacant lot in the middle, Qin Wen saw that the position was on the left side of the yellow chariot, and he also knew in his heart that Duanwangfu was still relatively high in the status of the Daqi royal family.

Just after they stood firmly, there was a half-pillar of incense, and suddenly saw a guard holding a blue hand flag in front of the chariot on the opposite side, and waved the flag lightly, and then the small yellow door standing next to the chariot hurriedly knelt down and lifted the curtain of the chariot, and then a middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe walked out of it.

Qin Wen saw that his eyes were not angry and self-assured, with a demeanor of dominating the world, and he also understood in his heart that this should be the current emperor of Daqi, according to the era name should be Zhengtai, just when Emperor Zhengtai just appeared, everyone below was busy with the half-knee salute in the march, and when Emperor Zhengtai waved his hand to let everyone get up, Qin Wen suddenly saw the Huiwang Mansion two houses apart.

Judging from the direction of the station, Duanwangfu is slightly closer to the middle, and Huiwangfu is deviated from the distance of about five zhang, in Huiwangfu, Qin Wen first saw Xiang Kuang, in front of Xiang Kuang stood a middle-aged man wearing a purple python robe, Qin Wen saw Xiang Kuang standing sideways beside him, and guessed that this person in a purple robe should be King Hui.

Emperor Zhengtai, who was standing on the chariot, waved his hand at this time, and walked out from behind him an old eunuch in green clothes, holding a holy decree in his hand, and read it in front of the royal children.

Behind King Hui and Xiang Kuang stood a monk in a long robe, and there was a little boy standing behind him, Qin Wen saw that his cultivation should be above the Xuan level, and he couldn't help but look at it twice, and behind him were more than a dozen monks who had gone up to the Xuan Master's level, among them was Zhao Song, who had chased and killed him, Zhao Song seemed to be also checking the team of Duanwangfu, and the eyes of the two intersected in an instant, and they both narrowed slightly at the same time.

Compared to the Huiwang Mansion, the Duanwang Mansion is more shabby, only Lao Gao and Ao Yu are the upper echelons of the Xuanshi, counting Qian San, and the rest of the Xuanshi realm monks are only six people, Qin Wen looks at the monks of the other palaces, from the overall cultivation point of view, they are all stronger than those in the Duanwang Mansion.

Xiang Kuang also saw the team of Duanwangfu at this time, and after glancing at it with some disdain, he said to Li Yi beside him: "As my father expected, there are only two monks from the upper echelons of the Xuanshi over there, and I think it will be much easier to deal with them on Wanhualing this time." ”

Li Yi slightly tested the noise barrier arranged by Xiang Kuang, and said a little coldly: "There are many monks here, many of them are strange people, this kind of talk is still not to be said, I and King Hui have discussed every detail in the mansion, this time you only have one task, that is, to watch Zhao Song while hunting through Beiyuan, originally there are so many monks in the palace this time, there is no need to send him here again, I don't know how King Hui suddenly brought him." ”

Listening to the thorny zuihou sentence in Li Yi's words, Xiang Kuang couldn't help but smile, in fact, Zhao Song came here and he mentioned it to King Hui, although the monks in the palace are all here, but those are all offerings to King Hui, only Zhao Song is Xiang Kuang's own offering, bringing him here, Xiang Kuang is also for his own safety.

At this moment, the old eunuch's holy decree had been promulgated, and all the royal children who participated in the hunt walked to a long table in front of the chariot, and because Qin Wen did not listen carefully to what the holy decree said, he quietly asked Lao Gaodao: "What is Xiang Gongzi going to do over there?"

Lao Gao pointed slightly to a round altar on the long table with his hand and said: "Now there are more palaces participating in the hunting, and there are more than a dozen separate lines in this round altar. ”

Qin Wen nodded, it seems that this Great Qi royal family still attaches more importance to hunting, and even the rules are so detailed, at this moment, Xiang Hao walked back with a paper ball in his hand, and after spreading it out and looking at it, he handed it to Lao Gao Dao with a slight frown: "Although it is not the best, it is too good." ”

Qin Wen stood beside Lao Gao at this time and looked at the paper ball, there was a line drawn on it, and some place names were marked in the middle, Qin Wen only had a general understanding of Beiyuan in Lao Gao's mouth, and he was still not very familiar with the place names inside, so he asked: "How about this road?"

Lao Gao groaned for a while and said: "This road is not too difficult to walk, but it is more dangerous to pass through Wanhualing, high-level spirit beasts often haunt there, and the two royal children who died in Beiyuan were killed there, as long as they pass through Wanhualing, there is still no threat to the rest of the place." ”

Hearing this, Qin Wen couldn't help but look towards the side of King Hui's mansion, Xiang Hao so coincidentally drew the road through Wanhualing, if it was said that King Hui didn't do anything inside, Qin Wen would never believe it, but now he didn't have his handle, so he had to take a step at a time to see a step.

After reading the paper, Emperor Zhengtai returned to the chariot, and after putting down the curtain, the chariot slowly left the door of Beiyuan and walked in the other direction, Qin Wen now also understands that this triennial hunting is not an ordinary outing of the royal family, but a ritual with sacrificial meaning, and the emperor generally only waits for the royal disciples from all walks of life in the sacrificial place.

After the yellow chariot left, Qin Wen saw that several anxious teams had already turned their horses into the North Garden, and Xiang Hao turned to look at Lao Gao Dao at this time: "When are we going in?"

Lao Gao looked at King Hui, who was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and said with a slight sigh: "Let's wait first, and see which road King Hui's mansion takes." ”

After about half a pillar of incense, the rest of the royal family has already entered the North Garden, and there is no sign of leaving the Duanwang Mansion and the Huiwang Mansion outside, and the Hui King looked at Xiang Hao at this time and smiled slightly: "Virtuous nephew, our route this time is relatively straight, it's okay to delay some time, I don't know who the virtuous nephew is still waiting for?"

Xiang Hao also replied with a smile: "My nephew has always adhered to the order of the elders and the young, and if Uncle Wang doesn't leave first, my nephew can only wait here." ”

King Hui smiled, his face was not the slightest unhappy, and he waved his hand to the monk behind him: "Okay, let's go first." ”
