C88

The corner of Bai Linyu's mouth curled up into a cold smile.

"Imperial Brother, do you still remember? Chendi has never lost a hunt!"

Bai Ling Yu's tone and expression caused Hua Mu Jin to be a bit worried.

It wasn't that she was afraid that Bai Zhan would lose, but that she was afraid that Bai Zhan would fall into Bai Lingyu's trap.

Unexpectedly, the corner of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth curled up into a sinister smile.

"Alright, I will compete with you!" However, if you lose, hand over the Ranged Cavalry Soldier Symbol! "

Bai Zhan Ke's words caught Bai Ling Yu off guard. Surprise appeared on his face.

A moment later, Bai Linyu pursed her lips, "So Brother Huang's thoughts are here? "Sure, but this bet doesn't seem to be very fair to younger brother. Can royal brother change the bet?"

"Up to you!"

It was just two simple words. Bai Zhan Ke said it casually.

However, the expression on his face eased up a little when Bai Linyu said this.

"Although Shangguan Yi has the majority of the military power in the Huan Yue Country, as far as I know, Royal Brother also has the military power at the border. If Royal Brother loses, could you also hand over the military power?"

Bai Zhan Ke didn't say anything else and only nodded his head in agreement.

Hua Mujie, who had been looking at the two of them, opened her eyes wide with an incredulous expression.

It was just a hunting match, yet these two people actually used the military talismans as the wager. Was this crazy?

He turned, looked at Hua Mujiao, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward.

Hua Mujiao regained his senses, and his gaze just so happened to meet Bai Lingyu's. However, there was no longer any smile in his eyes, only a cold threat.

Glancing at Bai Ling Yu, Hua Mu Jin turned around and followed Bai Ling Yu.

"Bai Zhan Ke, are you sure you want to compete with Bai Ling Yu?"

As she tilted her head to look at the white battleship, Hua Mujiao's face was filled with worry.

One must know that the reason why Bai Lingyu wanted to compete against Bai Zhanji was because he had already set up a trap to kill Bai Zhanji. In this competition, Bai Lingyu's victory was already in her grasp.

All of a sudden, Bai Zhan Ke stopped in his tracks and looked at Hua Mu Jin.

His expression was one of surprise, but it also seemed to be within reason.

"Are you worried about me?"

"I …"

Hua Mu Jin also stopped, and she seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I just saw Bai Lingyu's confident face. It seems that he won the match." If you lose, won't you lose your military power? "

The look on Hua Mujie's face, that seemed to want to say something but hesitated, caused Bai Zhan Ke's expression to darken.

"I won't lose!"

Bai Zhan Ke's tone was certain, this was an unquestionable determination.

For some reason, after hearing his words, Hua Mu Jin felt slightly relieved.

"I'm not afraid of you losing. It's just that Bai Lingyu is an extremely shrewd person. Even if you were to really hunt tigers and leopards before him, I'm afraid that he would secretly use some shady methods."

The corner of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth slightly curved upwards as he looked at Hua Mu Jin for a long time.

"Let's go. We have already prepared a good mount for you."

As he spoke, he held onto the hibiscus flower and walked towards the entrance of the hunting grounds.

However, Hua Mujiao suddenly felt that this white battle gave her a feeling that she couldn't figure out what was going on.

It was as if he knew something and wasn't willing to say it.

She was also at a loss as to whether she should help Bai Lingyu or not. If he didn't help, Bai Ling Yu would definitely kill Pearl and Green Bamboo. However, if he helped, Bai Qi's life would be in danger.

It was very difficult for her to measure the scales on both ends.

"This horse is more intelligent, so you should ride it."

Suddenly, the sounds of a white battle sounded from above his head.

Hua Mujiao regained her senses, but at some point, she had already reached the entrance of the hunting grounds.

In the blink of an eye, he looked at a snow-white horse beside him.

"This horse is for me?"

Bai Zhanzheng nodded.

"As long as you like it."

"I like it, I like it!" He went up to touch the white horse's snow-white fur, and revealed a loving expression all over Hua Mujie's body.

"Why is this horse's fur so white?" Does it have a name? "

Hibiscus vulgaris had been to the horse farm many times in modern times, so of course she had seen quite a few horses. However, she had never seen a horse with hair as white as snow.

"This Manango has just been domesticated and has not yet been named. Furthermore, Master said that this horse is for the Empress, so naturally, the Empress has to take the name. "

On one side, Luo Chen, who was leading another horse, suddenly spoke up, snatching Bai Zhan Ke's words.

His words not only caused Nan Ge to roll his eyes, but also caused Bai Zhan Ke to glare at him. Luo Chen felt that something wasn't right and awkwardly smiled as he took two steps back.

"Since it hasn't been named, and its fur is so white, I shall just call it Snow White."

"Squeak squeak!"

Just as Hua Mu Jin finished her sentence, the white horse suddenly raised its front hooves and called out twice, as if expressing its love for Hua Mu Jin.

"If you like it, it's called White Snow. Let's get on the horse first!"

Bai Zhan Ke stepped forward and carried Hua Mu Jin onto the horse's back.

And then, he mounted the dark horse as well.

Soon after, the Falling Dust South Spear and the other imperial guards also mounted their horses and followed.

Soon, the group came to a stop.

"Master, your subordinate has investigated and found that the north side of the hunting grounds is packed with tigers and leopards. We can go to the north side first."

Nan Ge reported as he rode his horse forward.

However, just as Nan Ge said the word 'north,' Hua Mu Jin's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing Bai Zhan nod his head, Hua Mujiao suddenly panicked.

"Wait!"

He subconsciously stopped them, allowing everyone to rein in their horses.

Hua Mu Jin smiled awkwardly, she didn't know what to say, and asked Nan Ge: "Are you sure there are most tigers and leopards in the north? I was out in the cold last night and I thought I heard a tiger growling in the south. "

As soon as Hua Mu Jin finished her sentence, Nan Ge and Luo Chen's expressions darkened, except for Bai Zhan Ke's calm face.

"Subordinate investigated Grand Concubine Xi's words clearly. To the north is the place where tigers and leopards live. This subordinate doesn't dare to lie to master!"

Nan Ge was very sure of what he said, and Hua Mu Jin was suddenly very worried.

Yesterday night, Bai Lingyu had told her to lead Bai Zhan Ke to the north. Naturally, the north side had already been assassinated by Bai Lingyu.

"I'm also sure that I heard the cries of a tiger in the south last night. There's no mistake."

For some reason, Hua Mujie was extremely reluctant to put Bai Zhan Ke in danger, so she tried her best to deny what Nan Ge had said.

Seeing that Hua Mu Jin's words were firm, Bai Zhan Ke looked at her meaningfully, as if he wanted to see through her and not take his eyes off her.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice.

"Since you're sure, let's head over there to the south!"

"Master!"

Nan Ge and Luo Chen frowned at Bai Zhan Ke's words.

After receiving Bai Zhan Ke's gaze, he didn't say anything in the end.

Bai Zhan Ke agreed to head south, and the group rode forward on their horses.

Hua Mujie also let go of his worries.

However, in her heart, she was worried about the safety of the pearls and the green bamboo. If Bai Linyu knew that she did not lure Bai Qi to the north and into his trap, she would definitely kill the pearls and the green bamboo.

Since hunting was originally a dangerous affair, Flower Hibiscus didn't let Pearl follow.

Suddenly, Hibiscus vulgaris had an ominous premonition …

"Jin'er, Jin'er …"

Bai Zhan Ke's voice sounded from beside him.

Hua Mujiao suddenly came back to her senses and turned around with a serious face.

"Ah?" You called me? "

"This is a hunting ground, ferocious beasts can appear at any time. If you're not paying attention, it's very easy …"

"Aooo …"

"Roar …"

Before Bai Zhan could finish his words, he heard the cries of many tigers and wolves, as well as other fierce beasts. The cries of these fierce beasts were not far from his ears.

In a split-second, everyone was on high alert.

"Hey, I told you there's tigers and leopards over here." "From the number of voices, it seems like there are a bit too many …"

Just from hearing the roars, Hua Mujiao could feel that there were at least ten of these jackals. To deal with so many fierce beasts, it would be difficult even if they were strong in martial arts.

"Nan Ge, protect her well!"

Bai Zhan Ke rode close to Hua Mu Jin, at the same time ordering Nan Ge to protect Hua Mu Jin's safety.

"Yes sir!"

Time seemed to stand still as all the guards formed a circle, with Hibiscus Blossom and Pandora in the center, protecting them.

Suddenly, a lot of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards walked out from their left side. Suddenly, a lot of jackals, tigers, and leopards walked out from their left side.

"Squeak squeak!"

Sensing the danger, the horse raised its front hooves and barked.

"Baixue, be good. Don't be afraid, isn't be afraid …"

As she stroked the snow-white fur beneath her, the voice of the flower, hibiscus, gently comforted her.

In the next second, Hua Mujiao saw those jackals and tigers with blood-red eyes darting towards them — —

At this moment, all the guards drew the swords at their waists, welcoming the incoming attack.

They began to fight with the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

At this moment, there was a tiger standing in the distance, like the leader of these jackals, watching the battle from the sidelines without any change in his expression, giving off the aura of a leader.

"Hiss …" "You damned beast, you dare injure me? Let's see if this young master won't chop you into pieces!"

In the midst of the battle, a wolf scratched Luo Chen's arm, and red blood stained his dark blue clothes.

"Luochen, be careful."

Seeming to be worried about Luo Chen, Hua Mu Jin shouted loudly.

"Mistress, there seems to be something wrong with these jackals."

At this point, Nan Ge, who had been standing beside Hua Mu Jin and Bai Zhan Ke, had a cold look on his face. He paused for a moment before continuing, "The jackal, tiger, and leopard were originally natural enemies, but now they're attacking together. I'm afraid they've been drugged and tamed."

Hearing Nan Ge's words, Hua Mu Jin frowned.

Tame by someone? She felt that this was most likely Bai Linyu's doing.

But didn't he clearly say that he set the trap in the north? Why were there these domesticated jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards in the south?

"Nan Ge, over there …"

Bai Zhan Ke suddenly opened his mouth and looked at the distant tiger that was watching the battle from the left and right.

As he looked over, Nan Ge noticed it too.

"Go down and kill it!"

"Stay here and protect her. I'll go."
