The sound of horse hooves came from afar and stopped in front of Tao Yuwei.

Tao Zixing swiftly dismounted from his horse and bowed to the Ninth Prince.

"Please excuse me, Princess Anle is waiting impatiently, let's go!"

The ninth prince raised his hand with a spirited look, motioning Tao Zixing to stand up.

A carriage stopped in front of the Ninth Prince, and with the help of the guards, the Ninth Prince got on the carriage.

A group of royal guards on horseback led the way.

Tao Zixing jumped on his horse and rode side by side with his sister Tao Yuwei beside the carriage.

Another group of imperial guards, led by the emperor's uncle Gu Xinyuan, followed behind for protection.

A large group of people marched towards the outskirts of Beijing.

Not long after they left, Prince Xiao Lichen, the Prince of Yong, got into a plain and low-key carriage and quickly left the city with two guards.

Along the way, the Ninth Prince excitedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and kept looking at the scenery outside the car.

The ten guards that Tao Zixing brought from home mixed in with the Imperial Guards, vigilantly paying attention to the movements around them at all times.

The king's uncle, Gu Xinyuan, was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and would try to take a detour when there were dense forests.

Just like that, after more than two hours of traveling under the scorching sun, they finally arrived at the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing.

Led by Gu Xinyuan, their troops entered the royal palace near the hunting ground to regroup and rest.

After dinner, the Ninth Prince mounted his horse and could not wait to lead everyone into the hunting ground.

This was Tao Yuwei’s first time visiting the royal hunting ground of Da Zhou.

There was an endless expanse of dense primeval forest in the hunting ground.

The weather in June is already extremely hot.

The king's uncle, Gu Xinyuan, brought people to follow the Ninth Prince personally.

Direct a group of people to set up several temporary tents.

Here, Tao Yuwei did not feel a bit of stuffiness. Instead, she felt it was a good place for a summer outing.

She rode a horse with a bow on her back, leading a team of royal guards who were responsible for protecting them, and patrolled the hunting grounds.

Tao Zixing was worried about his sister, so he rode after her on horseback.

"Your face is sunburned and it's very hot here. Can I take you back to the palace first?"

His father gave him ten guards with high martial arts skills to protect him and the Ninth Prince.

If something happens, it will be more dangerous for my sister to stay here alone.

Tao Zixing persuaded his sister not to stay in the hunting ground.

"Brother, I like it here very much. I will go hunting with you guys later."

Without waiting for Tao Zixing to speak.

Tao Yuwei and her group rode their horses for a distance deep into the dense forest.

Seeing his sister riding her horse recklessly, Tao Zixing hurriedly whipped his horse to chase her.

They went deep into the dense forest, and Tao Yuwei and her friends didn't see a single animal along the way.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Tao Yuwei raised her hand and signaled everyone to stop.

Riding on the horse, she closed her eyes and listened carefully to the movements around her.

Didn't hear any unusual sounds.

Opening her phoenix eyes, she mobilized her mental power and connected her consciousness with the big trees within a few miles.

[What did you say? A few days ago, someone drove a big tiger into the hunting ground? ]

[Were there several groups of wild wolves released? ]

[If you dare to harm my second brother and the ninth prince, I will make him taste the feeling of being besieged by wild wolves. ]

Tao Zixing had just caught up, and when he heard the news, his hands, which were pulling the reins tightly, trembled slightly.

When he returned, he told the Ninth Prince not to hunt in the dense forest, but to run around the outside of the forest and then return to the city.

"Everyone, stay alert and continue to explore further inside."

Tao Yuwei's decision was exactly the opposite of Tao Zixing's. After learning that there were tigers and wolves deep in the jungle, she felt her blood boiling. She exerted force with her legs and took the lead in riding out.

The royal guards guarding her followed closely behind her and rushed into the dense forest that blocked out the sun.
