After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

It has been some time since the envoys of the Xuanwu Dynasty arrived in the North, and today it was finally time for the Northern Emperor to summon them.

The King of Wei and his envoys, dressed in the official uniforms of the Xuanwu Dynasty, came to the court and climbed the steps.

They were waiting in front of the court in turn, waiting for the official to announce his arrival.

Jiang Chen stood next to King Wei without squinting. This was the first time King Wei had experienced such an occasion. Looking a little nervous.

After the civil and military ministers visited, the emperor issued an order:

"Preach my will and announce it to the envoys of the Wu Dynasty."

After receiving the decree, the proclaimer stood on it and loudly announced:

"In accordance with the emperor's decree, the envoys of Xuan and Xuanwu came to see you."

After the King of Wei heard this, he held his country's credentials and walked at the front. Jiang Chen and the envoys followed him one after another and entered the court.

I saw the King of Wei leading his ministers, and after saluting the Emperor, the King of Wei said to the Emperor:

"My father, the Emperor, admires His Majesty's ability to govern the country, and has specially ordered me to come to see Your Majesty. I wish the Emperor good health and long life, and also wish that our two countries can live in harmony and have everlasting friendship. Come and give me a gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen, as the deputy envoy, had already handed the list of gifts in his hand to the eunuch next to the emperor.

I saw the emperor saying to the people below:

"I have always been kind to the world, enlightening all directions, and sharing the prosperity with the Xuanwu Dynasty. Now that you are here with all the envoys, please stay longer and communicate with each other. In addition, today coincides with the winter solstice, which is our northern country. During this hunting season, please invite your envoy to participate in this large-scale hunting activity with us, appreciate our customs, and entertain your envoy."

When King Wei heard that there was a large-scale hunting event, he was even more delighted.

He said to the emperor:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I didn't expect that we would come by such a coincidence. It is really eye-opening for us to catch up with such a grand occasion. It is such a coincidence."

At this time, Yeluhan, who had been standing on the train, kept looking at Jiang Chen, who was standing next to King Wei.

It was the man standing in front of him who sabotaged his plans time and time again. Fan Yao was a thorn in his side, someone who wanted to kill him, but Jiang Chen had been going against him. He took a step forward and said to the emperor. :

"Your Majesty, I heard that Jiang Chen, the deputy envoy of the Xuanwu Dynasty, was not only outstanding in literary talent, but also superb in martial arts. I admire him very much. I want to compete with him in the next hunting to see who can shoot the most prey. , this can also bring some joy to everyone, I wonder if the emperor will allow it."

The emperor glanced at Yeluhan who was standing below, and immediately felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Ordinarily, if this person hadn't competed with Fan Yao for the throne with ulterior motives for personal gain, he would have regarded him as a trusted minister. But now, he has long been extremely disappointed with him.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, I did not show any strong agreement, but just said to him indifferently:

"Hunting is something that makes everyone happy together. Since you want to compete with him, you should ask for his opinion. It has nothing to do with my permission."

Yeluhan encountered a problem with the emperor, so he had to come to Jiang Chen and said to him:

"I wonder if Vice-Envoy Jiang can give me a favor so that I can compete with you during hunting."

Jiang Chen's heart was like a bright mirror, he knew that Yeluhan was competing with him. So he pretended to be humble and said to him:

"Marshal Yelu, hunting is exclusive to you generals who are galloping on the battlefield. I, Jiang Chen, am just a scholar. I have no qualifications. Hunting with the marshal, you must think too highly of me."

Yelu rarely saw him refuse, so he became more and more interested. He pointedly said to Jiang Chen:

"Does Deputy Jiang refuse to give me face? Hunting is a game that can be played by men who can ride horses and shoot arrows. Besides, Deputy Jiang is not as weak as you said, is he? "

Facing Yeluhan's pressing steps, Jiang Chen looked at all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, all of whom seemed to be looking at him with sneer expressions.

He was representing the Xuanwu Dynasty on this mission. Especially in such a provocative state, he must not be allowed to overwhelm him.

He looked at Yeluhan in front of him and said:

"Since the marshal has warmly invited me, if Jiang Chen doesn't agree, it will appear that he doesn't know the etiquette. We will arrive at the hunting ground later, let's see what happens."

In the Northland, every year when hunting activities are held, they will choose the dense forests on the grasslands as hunting grounds to better chase and capture prey.

After the morning court, under the leadership of the emperor, the hunting team set off in great force.

All those who are eligible to participate are dressed in gorgeous clothes. Riding a tall horse. With shotguns and bows in their hands, they set off with great momentum.

Jiang Chen also wore a gorgeous hunting suit, with feathered accessories on his head, and with the bow and arrow on his body, the whole person looked majestic and majestic.

Although the King of Wei next to him was dressed in the same attire as him, his overall appearance was still slightly inferior.

Yeluhan urged his horse to come to him. After greeting King Wei, he glanced at Jiang Chen and said to him:

"Jiang Chen, you don't look like a scholar in this military uniform. Such a scene would probably never happen in your Xuanwu Dynasty. I came here to tell you by the way, we are prey. The quantity shall prevail. Whoever catches the most prey within the agreed time will win. You have to show your true ability and let me see it. Don't let me down."

Jiang Chen understood what he meant, it was not an obvious hint to him. He might have guessed a long time ago that he was the one who rescued Fan Yao that night.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said to Yeluhan in front of him:

"I wonder if Marshal Yelu wants to see me make a fool of myself. You are just chasing a duck. You insist on pitting me, a novice hunter, against someone who has been through the battlefield like you. You think too highly of me. .”
