While Yu Yanke was talking to the prime minister, a sound of footsteps came from far and near.

The two looked back.

It's His Majesty the Emperor.

Yu Yanke hurriedly made a big salute, and the prime minister also stood up and nodded slightly.

"No need to be polite. His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand slightly, slowly crossed Yu Yanke, walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Teacher, do you want to tell Xiao Si about Mr. Liang?" After His Majesty the Emperor sat down, he leaned slightly sideways, leaned over the armrest, supported his cheeks with his palms, and asked softly.

The prime minister sighed and said, "Naturally, I have to tell Xiaosi." It's just that with her temperament, I'm afraid I'll feel very uncomfortable. ”

His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, she looked at Yu Yanke again, and said, "Yu Jiazi, what do you think?"

Yu Yanke didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor didn't mean to avoid suspicion at all, so he asked so directly.

In just a few moments when he was stunned, His Majesty the Emperor had already spoken again, and she said: "Don't be restrained, even if you don't have the relationship of Xiao Si, you can speak freely here, the Yu family, you have this qualification." ”

"Besides, Xiao Si has done so many childish things for you, and I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before you become my son-in-law, so you don't have to hesitate about anything. ”

Yu Yanke was embarrassed by her words, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is really tormenting the boy. ”

Saying that, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Mr. Liang's matter should be told to the eldest princess, after all, it is her master, and Mr. Liang treats her as his own daughter. ”

"Uh-huh........."

His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a while before he said: "Life and death are impermanent, I believe Xiao Si can see through it." ”

After that, she said nothing more.

"Your Majesty, the bandits in Dongliang County are gradually getting out of control, as if someone is secretly manipulating, Chen Boxian's person has done nothing in office, and the minister suspects that he has also secretly taken refuge in the bandit and is in the same league with them. ”

The prime minister changed his conversation and began to talk about another urgent matter.

His Majesty the Emperor sat up slightly and said in a playful tone: "When they are in a mess, don't be in a hurry to solve it." Now it is just a symptom rather than a cure, and this matter will naturally be dealt with after the autumn hunt. ”

When the prime minister heard this, he stroked his goatee and nodded slightly, but he remembered something again, and continued to ask: "I wonder who Your Majesty will let deal with this matter? Those who are able to solve the problem are more useful elsewhere, and it is useless to transfer those who are less able. ”

"Naturally, there are people who are chosen. His Majesty the Emperor smiled mysteriously, turned his gaze to Yu Yanke, and said, "Isn't there a ready-made one?"

When Yu Yanke heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said in amazement: "Me?"

His Majesty the Emperor sneered and said, "My daughter, it's not like you two can get married. You must at least have meritorious deeds and achievements for the empire, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households, so that you can do it. ”

Yu Yanke's eyes widened when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.

Your Majesty is right. ”

The most important thing is that the prime minister actually stroked his mustache and nodded, looking like he was deeply appreciative.

The prime minister nodded, subconsciously glanced at Yu Yanke, and saw that his expression was wrong, so he smiled and said: "Yu family boy, you must know that marriage is all about the right family, although you are a member of the Yu family, but you are only a white body, if the fourth child marries you, won't it make people laugh?"

"For the sake of Xiaosi's reputation, and for your own heart, it should be like this. Sealing the marquis of ten thousand households is already the minimum requirement. Your Majesty is nominally making things difficult for you, but in fact he has opened the back door for you. ”

When Yu Yanke heard this, he just smiled bitterly, what else could he say, he could only nod his head and say yes, where did he dare to express any other opinions.

"The autumn hunt is about to start, this year's autumn hunt is estimated to be longer, but it will only take ten years at most, after the end, if you get the head armor, it will be a thousand households. After the autumn hunt, you are going to Dongliang County, and after you come back, I will give you a four-rank military general, so that you will not be far from being crowned Wanhu Hou. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently, she said it very easily, but Yu Yanke knew, where are these simple things?

But he didn't refute anything, just nodded yes.

"At the same time, Xue Dingping will also go to Dongliang County, and the two of you have the same start. ”

Just when Yu Yanke sighed that this mother-in-law was not good to serve, he accidentally heard such a sentence again.

His expression finally changed significantly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"There is competition to have pressure, but Xue Boy is also a centurion in the army, your starting point is not the same, he has real military merits. ”

The prime minister added another sentence at the critical moment, Yu Yanke only felt that he was poked hard by this sentence, which was quite a bit of a white knife in and a red knife out.

"Young man, believe in yourself, don't you also have an advantage that the Xue family kid doesn't have. Seeing that his face was bitter, the prime minister immediately added with a hint of a smile.

It's like cheering him up and boosting his confidence.

Yu Yanke was helpless, although he was a little slanderous about His Majesty the Emperor's arrangement, but after all, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, and he didn't even dare to complain.

"Okay, let's be here today, you go back first, I still have some things to discuss with the prime minister. ”

After His Majesty the Emperor said what he wanted to order, he asked Yu Yanke to retreat, and after Yu Yanke made a big salute, he slowly retreated.

After leaving the Bizheng Palace, Yu Yanke took a deep breath, he had been in Kyoto for a long time, but his original goal had not been achieved.

Not only did Yun Ji fall into Kyoto, Yu Yanke felt that even he was trapped here now, which was really uncomfortable.

But the good thing is that things are always developing, which is much better than stagnation.

The day of the start of the autumn hunt is getting closer and closer. After the autumn hunt, he will go to Dongliang County again, and after he is done, he will be able to relax for a while.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The autumn hunt began as scheduled.

On this day, the whole of Kyoto was extremely lively, the entire imperial city walls were planted with colorful flags, and those young people who came from all over the country lined up in hundreds of columns to enter the imperial city one after another.

The soldier in charge of verifying the identity meticulously looked through the documents of the young people, and then reported them for record, although the examination was rigorous, but in fact it was extremely efficient.

But no matter how fast they move, they feel a little too busy.

The long queue of people from the gate of the imperial city to the end of Chang'an Street, densely packed, crowded with people.

Yu Yanke stood on the wall of the imperial city, together with Xue Dingping and Su Feng'er, watching the crowds surging below.

"Look at this posture, today's inspection of these people is over, and the main drama should start tomorrow. Su Feng'er was a little bored lying on the head of the city wall, holding her chin with her palms.

"There should be a lot of strongmen this time. Xue Dingping said calmly: "It may be interesting to fight them." ”

When Yu Yanke heard what Xue Dingping said, he gave him a blank look, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"By the way, what kind of competition method is this autumn hunting?" Yu Yanke remembered something and asked again.

Hearing this, Su Hao'er turned her head to look at him, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "I only came back this year, and I haven't participated in the autumn hunt before, so it depends on what Brother Xue says." ”

When Xue Dingping heard Su Hao'er's words, he was not hypocritical, and said directly: "In previous years, the autumn hunt has always been divided into two large blocks, one is martial arts and the other is hunting. ”

"In the original autumn hunting, the martial arts were just to show their strength, and hunting was the main event. However, after so many years of development and evolution, the main position of martial arts and hunting has been reversed, and martial arts have begun to be more important than hunting. ”

"It's kind of moving up to date. Because only martial arts is the biggest and fastest platform for young people to show themselves, and that hunting, in fact, is not as difficult as it used to be for people now. After all, the empire is getting stronger day after day, all the people are in their hearts, luck is gathered, and the chances of genius appearing are much greater. ”

"Huh?"

When Yu Yanke heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Xue Dingping, and he asked: "Brother Xue, what is the so-called hunting? If it's just birds and beasts, I'm afraid that a random person who is still in the realm of enlightenment and has not stepped into the threshold of martial arts can do it, right?"

"Brother Yu doesn't know, the so-called hunting is not to hunt ordinary beasts, but to go down to the ancient cave and kill a very special creature inside. ”

Xue Dingping replied, "That creature has never appeared under the light of day, but in that ancient crypt, there is a large group. I once killed one with my own hands, and the aura of this creature is very uncomfortable, not like ordinary beasts, although it is a little more ferocious, but it does not make people feel uncomfortable. ”

"In particular, their blood is highly poisonous, and it is important not to mistakenly get their blood on their bodies, as it would be life-threatening. ”

"There was a martial arts master who died because of this, and we should take this as a warning. ”

Xue Dingping said with a serious expression.

Su Hao'er also nodded, and said: "I have also heard that that thing seems to be able to cultivate Zhou Tian's qi, but it is superficial, but their bodies are extremely tough, if you have to say that they are like any race, then they are the Northern Barbarians." Yu Yanke: I've heard that you've dealt with the Northern Barbarians, so you should know how difficult this creature is. ”

"There is such a thing?" Yu Yanke said in amazement.

"Once you go down to the crypt, it's easy to save your life, but it's not easy to hunt a creature of that kind, and basically whoever can hunt one can declare the hunt over. Xue Dingping said with his inherent experience.

Yu Yanke listened and nodded.

To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to the important event of martial arts.

After all these days, and the underlying injuries on his body have healed, at least he is not worried about whether his body can withstand it with all his strength now.

And as long as he can go all out, then at least eighty percent of the people who come to Kyoto will not be his opponents.

What's more, he is not alone.

He, Su Hao'er, Xue Dingping, and Yun Ji are four people, but they are a team.

Because there is no rule that Qiu Hunt must be in the form of an individual, this is also a tacit approval of their teamwork in the rules.

In fact, there are quite a few people who use this rule to form teams.

Of course, no matter how they teamed up, it didn't really affect those who participated in the autumn hunt in their own name.

Because the fight has to be one-on-one, and everyone has to get off the field.

In short, if you are an individual, you only need to win one game, and if you are a team, you need to win a few games if you have a few people on your team.

This is undoubtedly a lot of trouble.

For those who are really strong, it is actually better to participate in the name of an individual, so that you only need to push through by yourself, and you don't need to think about your teammates.

And for those who are a little weaker, they will naturally choose to participate in the name of the team.

First of all, as long as there is a strongman in the team who can beat many opponents, then even if you lose, you only need this strongman to play a few more games to drag you forward.

It's just that there aren't many people who are so selfless.

However, there are many young people in Kyoto who have participated in autumn hunting in the past, and most people from outside Kyoto disdain to do so. After all, it seems that participating as a team is a bit of a drag.

Of course, in fact, the children of Kyoto formed a team not for martial arts, but more for hunting later. When it's time to hunt, that's when teamwork comes into play.

Although hunting is not as important today as martial arts, it still exists, and as long as it exists, it is necessary to put effort and effort into it. These are all small details that have been done to win the autumn hunt.

Yu Yanke doesn't care about martial arts, just because he doesn't care about it.

Xue Dingping's interest in the object of hunting piqued his interest, and he had never heard of such a creature since he was a child. He hadn't seen it before, so he was interested, and he wanted to see what the hell was going on with that thing.

"Actually, with the eldest princess here, we have a good chance of winning the head armor. Xue Dingping looked at the still dense flow of people, seemed to feel something, and sighed.

"Indeed, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is no longer the prince of the empire, she cannot deny her achievements in martial arts. Hardly anyone can reach her level at her age. ”

Su Hao'er also sighed, thinking that she probably always had some special emotions for Yun Xi.

Yu Yanke remembered that when she was Gou Chen, Su Hao'er was obedient to Yun Xi's call, and secretly said in her heart that she was probably respectful and afraid of Yun Xi.

Shaking his head, Yu Yanke didn't think much about it, and he didn't affirm the words of Xue Dingping and Su Hao'er.

Because he knew that there were actually many people who were stronger than Yun Xi, but they had never passed away.

"Looking at Brother Yu's expression, it seems that you have other feelings?" Su Hao'er carefully discovered Yu Yanke's little expression, Yu Yanke was stunned when he heard this, shook his head, and said no.

"In fact, after all, it depends on our own, the head armor, if you can get it, you must get it, the so-called heroes in the world, in fact, are just a group of local chickens and dogs with no appearance. ”

Xue Dingping looked down, suddenly changed his words, and said quite boldly and confidently.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time everyone had finished checking, it was already dark.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the drums outside the imperial city played loudly, and hundreds of thousands of people stood energetically on the marble-paved square in front of the city.

The square is facing Ding'an Square.

Above the tower of Ding'an Gate, I don't know when the adults who were standing in court clothes and formal clothes, in the center, the two canopies were supported by two palace maids on the left and the right, and there was no one on the right for the time being.

Although His Majesty the Emperor had not yet appeared, it was quiet all around.

It's the guy who likes to be noisy the most on weekdays has closed his mouth at the moment and waited quietly.

Yu Yanke, Su Hao'er, Xue Dingping, Yun Xi, the four of them didn't squeeze the crowd.

In fact, they don't have a chance to squeeze if they want to.

Before dawn, a little yellow door woke up Yu Yanke, saying that His Majesty had something to explain. Yu Yanke woke up and washed up, only to find that it was Xiao Yizi again.

He smiled and asked if Xiao Yizi had become his exclusive guide, but Xiao Yizi didn't answer to this, just grinned, revealing his white teeth.

This has almost become this guy's signature move, as long as he smiles, he will definitely show eight teeth, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

In this regard, Yu Yanke only secretly sighed, sure enough, the guy who can mix into such a good appearance at this age will not be an ordinary person.

Perhaps out of admiration for this guy, Yu Yanke has never dictated to him, and has always regarded him as a friend.

.................

When he arrived at the ground, Yu Yanke found that the other three had arrived.

His gaze subconsciously glanced at Yun Xi, but unfortunately, Yun Xi stood there motionless, although he knew that he was coming, but there was still no reaction.

"It's all here. ”

His Majesty the Emperor on the side spoke.

Yu Yanke looked over when he heard the words, and unexpectedly saw the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor had actually been veiled all the time before, and Yu Yanke didn't dare to be presumptuous, so it was the first time for him to observe His Majesty the Emperor's face up close.

And this most powerful person in the world, who can give birth to a beautiful daughter like Yun Xi, will naturally not look too bad.

If she really wants to say it, she is even more attractive than Yun Xi. After all, Yun Xi does not have the mature temperament she has, nor does she have the sense of majesty that has been above 10,000 people for a long time.

Of course, for the majesty of that kind of superior, Yun Xi may be there, but for Yu Yanke, who has lived with her for a long time, it is not as rich and real as His Majesty the Emperor.

"This time, the young and famous people from all over the empire have come to participate, and you will probably meet opponents. However, don't be presumptuous, after all, no matter how strong they are, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of you. ”

His Majesty the Emperor's voice interrupted Yu Yanke's thoughts, and he came back to his senses and said with the other three, "I will not disgrace my life." ”
