Xiao Jingran looked over at Xiao Chen, and the spark in their eyes made the atmosphere tense before the hunting started.
“Hah. Cut the craps! I declare the hunting begins!” Xiao Ye waved his hand and then the drums began pounding. Everyone stood up from their seats.
“There are so many people here,” said Jing Yue on a horse. Seeing people get ready to ride horse, Jing Yue smiled. She could tell by the situation that the victory was not Overlord Bow, but the descendant of the throne.
One party supported the Crown Prince, and another supported the Second Prince.
The hunt is actually a battlefield.
“Stay close with me and don’t run around.” Xiao Chen in a black robe sttod on the horse, squinted at the forest, and said to Jing Yue.
“Okay…” Jing Yue responded with reluctance, and stayed on her horse obediently.
All the parties that had entered the forest were scattered and went hunting for their own prey seemingly. But it was unclear whether there was any cooperation in the deep forest. Jing Yue followed Xiao Chen and was speechless to found that Xing Yi and Xing Er were hunting earnestly.
She thought she could see Xiao Chen go hunting personally. What a delusion!
Working for Xiao Chen was also a chord! She thought.
“Let’s take a rest.” said Xiao Chen. They stopped in the deep forest and sat on the ground to have some water. Xing Yi and Xing Er stayed alert to the surroundings. Although huge animals barely appeared here, it was never be too careful to be vigilant.
“How can you call this a hunting, it’s so boring…”Jing Yue leaned on the tree uninterestingly, watching harmless animals like rabbits and deer around. As a person who had grown up in the forest, all the things here were so ordinary to her. No wonder she felt bored.
“It doesn’t look like anything serious is going to happen.” Xiao Chen took a deep breath and stood up, “ I am just drop-in. If you feel bored, we can look around and then go back.”
“Well…” Jing Yue shrugged casually.
They took a break to count their prey and gave them to their accompanying soldiers behind, and then they decided to take a stroll back to the camp. However, when Jing Yue was about to get on the horse, she heard a roar from far away.
“What’s that sound!” Her face changed all of sudden. She was so familiar to this sound because she used to hear it in the forest before. It was the roar of tiger.
“Are there tigers in this hunting ground?” Jing Yue turned to Xiao Chen, who also looked dignified.
“No, this place is well-guarded and the animals here are harmless. It’s impossible to find tiger here.” Xiao Chen’s expression turned solemn, “Something goes wrong.”
He turned over to get on the horse and urged the accompanying soldiers to ask for help immediately. Then he called Xing Yi and Jing Yue to go to the direction that the roar came from. There were so many people entering the forest this time; if they met this tiger, serious results may occurred .
“In which direction did the emperor go, Xing Yi?” Xiao Chen turned his head and asked in a gloomy voice.
“His Majesty entered the forest from the east, not here.” Answered Xing Yi. Although Emperor Xiao Ye entered into the forest with the protection of the accompanying general Shangguan Hongwen, it was still worrying. Xiao Ye must have no accident.
