Chapter 335
In the royal hunting grounds, men and women in horseback riding uniforms appeared one after another in the hunting grounds. The angry horses were fresh and dressed, and from time to time, one could hear the girls’ envious screams and the men’s cheers.
At this moment, Shang Wuxin and the Western Paradise’s Xiang Luan were signing two contracts, thus it was impossible for even the last party to renege on their debt. Shang was not in the mood to look at the palm print from the Western Regions, his lips curled up and his eyes were as deep as hell.
If she could really bring Prince Shang down this time, then her father would definitely value her even more, as if she could see that her future was going to be smoother.
The first round’s competition was between Leng Yufeng and Huyan Shang, but right now the prize money was so important, so the current few rounds were for their own people, and both sides agreed on the contents of the competition. This competition was a hunt, and this competition was suggested by the Western Alliance’s Scented Fragrance. Shang did not have the heart to agree to this. The hunting was only done by Leng Yufeng and Huyan Shang, in the end whoever obtained more prey would be considered the victor. Of course, this forest had already been arranged, so there was no possibility of cheating or something like that.
Leng Yufeng’s horse was suddenly killed last night, and it was a very sad thing for him. One must know that Leng Yufeng had a very deep affection for his horse, the horse had accompanied him to the battlefield countless times, had shared life and death with him, but now it was killed because of them.
When Leng Yufeng found out that his horse had been killed, he almost couldn’t control himself to kill the envoys from the Western Regions. It was Shang who stopped Leng Yufeng, and even gave Xiao Hei, whom Leng Yufeng had given to him, to Leng Yufeng.
“This is my gift to you, Xin’er. How can I take it back?” Even though Leng Yufeng’s body was still covered in a layer of cold air, it was clearly not focused on Shang, but it did not seem to be in high spirits. It seemed that this horse’s death was indeed a blow to Leng Yufeng.
At that time, Shang Wuxin held Leng Yufeng’s hand and caressed Blacky’s mane, “You are my man, mine is yours, do we still need to divide up?” With a single sentence, he had made Leng Yufeng accept Little Black.
Xiao Hei was brought back by Leng Yufeng from the wilderness. More importantly, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were extremely understanding, so under the threat of their master, they tried their best to please Leng Yufeng, causing him to lose his heart for the better.
The competition was about to begin. Leng Yufeng got up from his seat and gave Shang Wuxin a smile that was not quite a smile. His eyes were filled with warmth, perhaps this was the case with Han Wuxin. Then, Leng Yufeng instantly returned to his cold and detached self. He nodded at Huan Mo Che, then walked down from the high stand.
Huyan Merchant also stood up, bowed towards the Western Paradise’s beautiful music, and said with certainty, “Princess, your subject will not let you down!” As he spoke, he walked towards the stands. Ru Song really might not be as good as Leng Yufeng in terms of strength, but thinking about the arrangement of the princess …
When Leng Yufeng walked down from the grandstand, he saw that Xiao Hei was already beside He Lai Jin. Xiao Hei saw Leng Yufeng nudging Leng Yufeng’s arm with his horse’s head obediently, Leng Yufeng’s expression softened a little as he nudged Xiao Hei’s head.
Leng Yufeng leaped onto the horse’s back, while Huyan Shang sat high on the horse as well. Huyan Merchant’s mount was also a thousand-li long steed, but it was still weaker than Little Black. Just at this moment, Little Black raised its front hooves high, the sound of the horses’ whinnying could be heard from the hunting grounds, shocking everyone to the point that they could also scare off Huyan Merchant’s mount.
Leng Yufeng patted Blacky’s head, and sure enough, it turned silent when he saw it. Blacky was just showing off its might in front of everyone just now, after all, it had been useless since it followed its owner. Now, there was another host, Blacky, that was trying his best to show off.
Leng Yufeng slightly raised his eyes to look at the seated Shang Wuxin, who was dressed in a black python robe. As he sat there, he created a unique scenery; despite the numerous officials, officials, and young ladies, Leng Yufeng was able to capture the person on the screen with a single glance.
At this moment, Shang Wuxin’s eyes suddenly met Leng Yufeng’s eyes. Shang Wuxin nodded slightly; although they were still quite far away, Leng Yufeng could still see the smile, encouragement and a hint of worry in Shang Wuxin’s eyes.
As he watched Leng Yufeng’s back disappear into the forest, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Seeing that, Huan Mo Che consoled him in a low voice, “Yufeng has his own opinions, nothing will happen to him!”
Shang Wuxin naturally knew of Leng Yufeng’s abilities, but the more concerned he was with someone, the more worried he would become. Perhaps, this was a kind of love. Shang did not expect himself to become so sensitive.
With one hand holding the rope and the other holding an arrow, Leng Yufeng entered the forest and picked up the arrow as he began to hunt. It had to be said that Leng Yufeng’s arrows were extremely sharp. Each arrow could kill a prey, and the arrows on the prey’s body had marks on them. After that, there would be a special person to count the number of arrows.
The roads in the forest were rugged, and the branches of the trees were intricate. Without a good horse, it was impossible to advance forward. This was also the reason why they killed Leng Yufeng and his horse. However, the Western Regions did not expect Leng Yufeng to find a good horse in such a short amount of time, and this horse was even so skilled in human nature. One must know that taming a horse requires time, and riding a horse would normally result in rejection from other horses.
At this moment, the sounds of wild beasts could be heard from the forest. Leng Yufeng reached out his hand to touch his arrow, then said to Blacky, “Let’s go take a look!” Afterwards, Xiaohei rushed towards the location where the howls were incessant. Of course, they did not actually appear in front of the wild beasts, but had instead found a secret place high up in the sky to watch the show below.
He saw Huyan Shang sitting on his horse, looking at the surrounding animals with his scarlet eyes. Not only was there one or two of these animals, there were actually wolves as well. If it wasn’t for the fact that Huyan Shang was a knowledgeable general, he would have pissed his pants by now.
Leng Yufeng coldly watched as Huyan Shang fought with those wild beasts, he had to admit that Huyan Shang’s many years of life as a general of the Western Regions was not without reason, Huyan Shang’s archery skills were truly outstanding, a wild wolf was easily blinded by Huyan Shang’s arrows.
Huyan Shang looked at the killed beasts and gasped, he did not understand why such a situation would occur, after all, wasn’t this scene supposed to be prepared for Leng Yu Feng? Suddenly, Huyan Shang’s eyes opened wide, could it be that he was set up?
Because they knew Leng Yufeng’s abilities, before today’s hunt, they sent people to coat Leng Yufeng’s clothes with a type of poison that would attract wild beasts. Even though they knew that they might not be able to kill Leng Yufeng, it was certain that they would make Leng Yufeng lose the competition, which was also the reason why Huyan Merchant was so confident today. But looking at the situation in front of him, Huyan Shang felt that the princess was still too careless, this Leng Yu Feng was too f * cking difficult to deal with.
Huyan Shang split open his palm, wanting to bite his prey, he then took off his robe, only to find that these animals were still staring at him. Huyan Shang clenched his teeth, and then he removed the blisters on his body, it was a pity that these animals did not leave and instead rushed towards him.
At this moment, Huyan Shang really wanted to curse, he really did not know that a man like Leng Yufeng would actually be despicable to this point, after having hardened his heart, Huyan Shang took off all his clothes and threw his clothes far away along with his inner force. Sure enough, the animals that were eyeing Huyan Shang chased after his clothes. Any group of animals mercilessly trampled and bit on his clothes, making Huyan Shang’s naked body even colder.
Without the shelter of clothes, even though he knew that there was no one here, Huyan Shang was still not used to it. He no longer had any interest in hunting, but he clearly knew that after missing out on so much time, he would not be able to beat Leng Yufeng even if he did hunt.
Originally, they did not know that Huyan Merchant and the rest were poisoned by the Gu poison on his clothes. After all, they were not people who were proficient in these things, and they only knew beforehand that it was Shang Shuangge who had given Shang Guang unintentional information, causing him to pay attention to the changes in Leng Yufeng’s body. He also said that the sweet scent of the Western Region was good at poison.
With Shang Liangge’s reminder, regardless of whether it was Shang Wuxin or Leng Yufeng, they were on high alert. Shang Wuxin had also personally placed Cheng Shi next to Leng Yufeng to keep an eye on him, and sure enough, before today’s hunt, a eunuch walked past Leng Yufeng. No one paid much attention to him, but Cheng Shi had discovered the problem.
Whether it was Shang Wuxin or Leng Yufeng, neither of them noticed it, but as a doctor Cheng Shi was very cautious, he began to check Leng Yufeng’s clothes, and indeed, he found the insect poison on Leng Yufeng’s clothes. When Cheng Shi told Leng Yufeng that the insect poison would trigger an attack from an animal’s sense of smell, everyone’s expression turned cold, and there were also people putting the insect poison under Huyan Merchant’s clothes, of course, this matter was for the Blood Sang Army to do, Shang Wuxin did not expect his subordinates to be so naughty and release the Gu poison into the merchant’s clothes.
Seeing Hu Yan sitting naked on the horse, Leng Yufeng felt disgusted, but at this moment, Leng Yufeng suddenly rode out on Little Black from his hiding place, Huyan Shang was already on high alert, of course he noticed Leng Yufeng standing there.
Compared to his pathetic state, Huyan Shang looked at Leng Yufeng, who was sitting on a dark horse, in complete contrast. There was not a single speck of dirt on the black robe. Those eyes were like saws on Huyan Shang’s body, making him feel as if his body was being sawed open.
“Ha!” Leng Yufeng let out a sneer, but the corner of his mouth didn’t rise at all. If it weren’t for the fact that the Western Regions and the State of Shang hadn’t torn off their faces, Leng Yufeng would never have let Huyan Shang leave Shang alive, what a pity.
“Leng Yufeng!” Huyan Shang watched Leng Yufeng’s back as he left, his palm striking the tree.
