Chapter 20 Are you not a man?
Emperor Qingyuan looked at the Sixth Prince with a frown on his face. Chu Li was not the only useless son!
He frowned and said in a cold voice: "Anyone who retreats will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane!"
The body of the sixth elder, who was bent over the horse, straightened up a little, shrugged and spread his hands, "Father, I was just joking just now to liven up the tense atmosphere."
Disdainful glances came from all directions.
After a long and dull horn sound, the hunt began.
Chu Li withdrew his gaze from the Sixth Prince, grasped the reins, squeezed the horse's belly lightly, and Hong Zao rushed into the woods at a speed of one cloud of dust.
Facing the mountain wind whistling in his ears, Chu Li fully felt what it meant to travel at lightning speed.
"Hongzao, you're amazing!" Chu Li touched its fiery red mane. Hongzao neighed and ran even harder.
The guards following Chu Li soon lost her.
They all anxiously whipped their horses with whips, "Hurry! Don't lose the prince."
After entering the hunting ground, Chu Li seemed to sense the scent of prey, and Hongzao also became quiet.
Chu Li saw Huan Yan coming up the shortcut halfway up the mountain, and followed her through the woods using his lightness skills.
So I slowed down and went deeper into the forest.
Suddenly, Huanyan noticed something unusual in front of her and she whistled subconsciously.
The moment the whistle sounded, Chu Li had already pulled the reins of the horse. She saw from a distance that the grass on the ground was different from the surrounding plants.
Chu Li dismounted to check and found a trap that looked like a trap used by hunters for hunting, but the surrounding soil seemed to have just been dug.
There are no lethal weapons in the deep pit, but if a person falls in, it would be impossible to get out unless he has excellent martial arts skills.
It seemed that someone wanted her to fall into a deep pit and be unable to participate in the autumn hunt.
"Let's go!" Chu Li left with Huanyan.
......
On the other side, Chu Yue was riding a horse and Mo Yun was walking with her.
"Master, our people reported that Chu Li almost fell into a deep pit, but she found it in time."
Chu Yue looked arrogant, "I don't know which low-ranking prince prepared such a shameless method in advance."
"I guess it's the Fourth Prince's men."
Chu Yue sneered, "Even if she didn't trip up Chu Li, she still couldn't win the game."
As he spoke, Chu Yue pulled out an arrow and shot an elk.
On Chu Li's side, Huan Yan was a little curious why her master had not shot any prey, but instead seemed to be looking for something.
Chu Li looked suddenly and found a man hiding in the woods.
When the man saw Chu Li, he ran away.
Chu Li grabbed his collar and asked, "What are you doing!"
The man dressed as a guard was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer. Then Chu Li saw a bag not far behind him, and there was something moving in the bag.
"What is that? Whose house are you from?" Chu Li's oppressive eyes made the guard tremble all over.
"Your Highness, I have definitely not done anything wrong." The guard looked embarrassed.
Chu Li walked past him, leaned over to open the cloth bag, and found that there was a bag of wild rabbits inside.
"You are the Sixth Prince's man!" Chu Li judged.
The guard was startled and immediately knelt down, "That's not what I said."
Chu Li smiled lightly. Among so many princes, the only one who couldn't even shoot a hare was probably the Sixth Prince.
"I didn't see anything."
Chu Li didn't have a bad impression of the slightly crazy Sixth Prince, and he was always bullied on weekdays. Since they were both recognized as losers, had the same fate and sympathized with each other, he should do him a favor!
"Hide further inside, you're not hiding well enough."
Chu Li pointed out a location that was not easy to find to the guards.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The guard thanked gratefully.
Chu Li continued to move deeper into the forest. Along the way, she saw many prey, but she did not shoot any. Instead, she kept observing.
Not long after, Chu Li met the Fourth Prince, who had just shot an elk and looked very excited.
"Fifth brother, how is it, did you gain anything?"
Chu Li saw the arrogance in the Fourth Prince's eyes. He was worthy of being the prince raised by Concubine Rong. His arrogant temperament was like her.
Chu Li ignored him and walked straight forward.
With a whoosh, an arrow whizzed past her ear. The Fourth Prince laughed maliciously, "Fifth brother, I saw a hare just now. If you didn't block it, it would have been shot to death!"
Chu Li smiled slightly, drew his bow and arrow and suddenly aimed at the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince could not avoid it and the arrow just grazed his scalp.
The Fourth Prince's scalp felt numb and his whole body went limp and he fell off his horse. His scalp was almost lifted off and his entire hair bun came loose.
"Chu..." He took a deep breath and wanted to curse Chu Li several times, but when he saw the arrow in Chu Li's hand, he lost his courage.
"What's wrong with the Fourth Prince? It's not even the New Year or the holidays yet, why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony?" Chu Li shook his hands and said, "No, no!"
The Fourth Prince then realized that he was kneeling in front of Chu Li.
The guards behind him didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Their Fourth Prince was actually abused by the Crown Prince for the first time!
However, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's archery skills become so accurate that he could even push off the Fourth Prince's hair just by brushing his scalp!
The fourth prince was helped up by the guards and looked at Chu Li with gritted teeth, "You did it on purpose!"
Chu Li shook his head repeatedly, "My solitary arrow technique is not good, my royal brother knows that, stay away from me, or I don't know where I will shoot next time!"
The Fourth Prince looked at Chu Li's eyes sweeping up and down his body, and he suddenly felt a tightness in his crotch.
His eyes fell on Chu Li's horse, and there was no prey in the cloth bag.
Why is he angry with Chu Li now? Chu Li, that idiot, will not win today anyway!
He just needed to follow Chu Li quietly and disturb her.
Chu Li is followed by an annoying tail, and she plans to give the Fourth Prince some poison that will make him crazy and get rid of him.
Unexpectedly, a man came out of the woods on horseback, carrying a quiver.
"Cousin!" a crisp voice came.
Chu Li glanced sideways and saw Mu Jiangge holding the reins of the horse, sitting straight on the horse's back, and raised his eyebrows at Chu Li, "Cousin, go first. I will chat with the Fourth Prince."
Chu Li originally wanted to handle it himself, but when he saw his cousin's expression that said "I'll protect you", he silently took back the poison in his hand and thanked her with a smile.
"Mu Jiangge, you tomboy, stop disturbing this prince's hunting!"
Mu Jiangge tilted his head and stared at the Fourth Prince's bald scalp. He laughed, "Hey, this is the Fourth Prince. Are you going to become a monk? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I know the abbot of Lingyin Temple!"
"You!" The Fourth Prince was so angry at Mu Jiangge's words that his whole body ached.
Mu Jiangge watched Chu Li ride away on his horse. She crossed her arms and said with a click of the tongue, "Oh, what kind of man is it to bully your brother?"
"A man should have a broad mind!" Her eyes moved down from the Fourth Prince's chest little by little, and suddenly asked in horror: "Oh, are you not a man?"
"Mu Jiangge!" The Fourth Prince was almost vomiting blood because of Mu Jiangge!
If Mu Jiangge wasn't the eldest daughter of the Mu family who held a large number of troops, he would let her feel what a real man is today!
......
Chu Li looked back at his heroic cousin. In this strange world, there are many people who take advantage of others' misfortunes, but it is rare to find someone so genuine.
Her liking for her little cousin Mu Jiangge increased several points.
Just when Chu Li was thinking that it was almost time to start the official hunt, someone suddenly called her from behind.
