Chapter 625: Hunting Jackpot, the Emperor's Tiger Cloak
Looking at the quiet and dark forest, Shu He asked again, "Have Li Ziru and Shui Ziliu's people arrived at Jingshan?"
If the people who were shaken don't arrive in time, perhaps they can help out in the immediate situation.
Nanqi had never seen Shu He so uneasy before. He gently comforted her, "All arrangements are in place. Don't be too nervous."
"Except for that unknown giant, the other masters have made arrangements. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
Shu He didn't say anything. Even though Nan Qi said so, she couldn't get rid of the uneasiness in her heart.
She always felt that something would happen during this trip to Jingshan.
In the second half of the night, everything was silent. In that seemingly quiet forest, a huge crisis was actually lurking.
Shu He slept uneasily that night, feeling as if there were a pair of eyes outside staring at her.
The next morning, the hunting competition began early.
Emperor Qiwen set a prize, with a limit of two hours. After two hours, all those who participated in the hunt had to return to the square to gather and count the prey.
Finally, the people from the Ministry of Rites will make a comprehensive calculation based on the preciousness and quantity of the prey.
If anyone can win the first prize, Emperor Qiwen will give the "Lingfeng Sword" that has been with him for many years as a first prize reward!
And the top ten others will also be given rewards of varying degrees.
After hearing this, a group of young men on horseback, full of vigor and high morale, seemed determined to win the first prize, the "Lingfeng Sword"!
Among them, the most proud one is Baili Moyan.
When it comes to riding and shooting, among his brothers, except for the seventh brother, no one can compare to him!
Therefore, this Lingfeng sword today must be his!
Next to Baili Moyan were the eighth brother Baili Moqi and the fifth brother Baili Moshen. Both of them looked relatively calm.
However, beneath the calmness in Lao Ba's eyes, there was obviously a hint of ambition, but he concealed it very well and almost no one noticed it.
Behind these princes are the children of dukes from other families.
From their positions, you can tell who those young men belong to.
The most eye-catching among them is the prince of Western Chu, Jiang Dongping.
He wore a dark red robe and a wide black belt around his waist, which was decorated with exquisite silver patterns. He looked very noble and mysterious. He sat upright on his horse, his temperament was extremely handsome and noble, even compared with the other princes, he was not inferior in the slightest.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Zhirou who was standing behind Shu He, but Zhang Zhirou seemed unaware and looked straight ahead.
Seeing this, Jiang Dongping's eyes fell on the "Lingfeng Sword" displayed in front of everyone.
As long as he wins the prize, maybe he can take the opportunity to ask the emperor for a marriage!
As soon as the gong was struck, all the generals and those who were good at riding and shooting rushed into the woods.
Among them, Jiang Dongping, dressed in red, was leading the way and became the most dazzling presence in the crowd.
Shu He did not ignore Jiang Dongping's previous look. She looked at the Lingfeng Sword, as if she had guessed Jiang Dongping's intention.
Emperor Qiwen looked at the grand scene with a look of relief on his face.
Concubine De and Concubine Ming sat on both sides of the emperor respectively. Concubine Ming's bright face was full of pride and honor.
When Concubine De saw this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
She looked at the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, I see that the young man in red running in front seems to be the Prince of Dongping, right?"
Hearing Concubine De's words, Emperor Qiwen glanced at the person running in front, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's him!"
"This kid, when Old Seven is away, is like a wild monkey that has been released into the wild. No one can subdue him!"
Concubine De smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that since Mo Qing is not here, the top prize today will most likely go to Prince Dongping?"
"That's not necessarily true!" Concubine Ming said, unwilling to listen to Concubine De's words. Her face changed slightly, and her eyes immediately became charming and charming. She said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, don't you believe that Yan'er can take the first place?"
Emperor Qiwen looked at that delicate face and thought of her service over the past few days. A hint of satisfaction appeared on his face. He immediately smiled and said, "Old Nine's strength is also quite good!"
"Without Old Seven, Old Nine and Jiang Dongping are evenly matched. It's hard to say who will ultimately win the Lingfeng Sword!"
When Concubine De heard this, a trace of resentment flashed across her face.
Bitch, you are so shameless!
My son is already so old, but he still behaves like a devil. It's really disgusting!
snort!
Just wait!
I want to see who is the winner today!
After cursing in her heart, Concubine De put on a gentle expression, "Your Majesty, won't you come down and play? If you do, then today's winner will definitely be you!"
After hearing this, Emperor Qiwen's eyes lit up, but he quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, today's prize is for the children, I won't get involved!"
Concubine De's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued, "Your Majesty, didn't we come to Jingshan just to hunt for fun?"
"This prize is for the children, but it won't stop you from showing off your prowess!"
"I still remember that the sika deer you hunted last year was the largest in the whole place!"
"Deer blood is a great tonic. This year, I'd like to take advantage of your kindness and share a cup of deer blood soup!"
When Concubine Ming heard this, her bright face flushed. She reached out and held Emperor Qiwen's hand, with a hint of charm in her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, your sister is right! I also hope to see Your Majesty show his prowess again!"
Emperor Qiwen's eyes indeed showed a hint of excitement, "Okay, since both of you have said so, I will go down and hunt a large deer for you two!"
As soon as Emperor Qiwen stood up, Concubine De also stood up and waved to the people behind her, "Your Majesty, I have specially made a cloak for you. I wish you a great victory and a great return!"
The cloak was a mixture of gold and silver, made of ice silk. On the back of the cloak was a massive silver half-tiger head; a pair of silver and black eyes outlined with gold lines held an unusually fierce look.
The tiger head under the embroidery line is vivid, and each hair is smooth and shiny, as if a real tiger is staring at him.
Emperor Qiwen was shocked and couldn't help but put his hands on the tiger's eyes. "This tiger head is so real!"
De Fei said, "Your Majesty, this is a gift that the Fourth Prince prepared for you a month ago. He wanted you to be invincible in the hunting grounds!"
When he heard the fourth brother's name, the heat in Emperor Qiwen's eyes subsided a little.
Defei took off the golden tiger cloak, and the cloth sank, revealing the complete golden tiger, which made Emperor Qiwen's eyes show amazement again.
"Your Majesty, the fourth son made a mistake, but he is your son after all. It is natural for a son to respect his father."
"Your Majesty, the fourth son has realized his mistake. He will reflect on his mistakes in the palace and will never do anything to disappoint you again!"
After hearing this, Emperor Qiwen's expression relaxed and he nodded slightly.
Looking at the vivid golden tiger, he reached out and took it, then tossed it lightly and put it on his body.
He walked down the steps and almost everyone was startled by the tiger behind him.
The cloak rippled with his steps, as if the tiger had come alive and was running after them.
When the accompanying officials saw this, they immediately came forward to flatter him, "Your Majesty, you are like a tiger with unstoppable momentum. You will definitely return with a great harvest today!"
