The spring sunshine shines on the magnificent hunting ground, and the spring breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Xiao Yi sat high on the hunting observation platform, his cold and handsome face looking solemn and majestic.

He looked around, his eyes sparkling.

"Today, the Spring Hunting Ceremony is held here, not only for hunting, but also to cultivate your courage and perseverance." Xiao Yi's voice was loud and powerful, echoing in every corner of the hunting ground.

"Let me see how heroic our Daxuan men are." The emperor's words made everyone present feel an invisible force.

The descendants of various high-ranking officials have ignited their fighting spirit and are ready to show their skills in this spring hunt.

A horn sounded.

The spring hunting officially began, and everyone rushed into the field like arrows, chasing the running prey.

For a moment, cheers and shouts came one after another, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Shen Yan was also among them. He was riding a black horse, holding a longbow in his hand, with sharp eyes. He rode his horse through the dense woods, looking for traces of prey.

Suddenly, his eyes locked on a stag, leisurely foraging in the woods.

Shen Yan took a deep breath, pulled the bow to its full length, and aimed at the stag. As the bowstring was released, the arrow flew out and hit the stag's vital point.

The stag was startled by the sudden attack, but it was too late to dodge, and the arrow passed accurately through its body.

The shot stag was picked up by the servants in the field and carried out.

Each company's arrows have unique markings, so there is no need to worry about confusion.

Shen Yan continued to search for prey in the woods. His figure quickly shuttled through the woods, going deeper and deeper. . .

So he also abandoned his horse and walked away.

His hands were tightly gripping the longbow, with the arrow on the string, ready to be shot at any time.

Soon, a fat hare came into his sight.

He approached quietly, trying not to make any noise. He aimed at the hare, took a deep breath, and drew the bow to its full length. Then, he released the bowstring, and the arrow flew out, hitting the hare's vital point.

As time went by, Shen Yan went deeper and deeper into the heart of the forest.

The environment here becomes more complex, with tall and dense trees and dim light.

Just as Shen Yan was concentrating on looking for prey, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

He instantly became alert and looked around, but did not find anything unusual. However, this made him even more alert...

Shen Yan held the longbow in his hand, concentrating on guarding against any movement around him.

At this moment, a loud noise sounded in the woods. . .

Shen Yan looked carefully and saw a majestic beast swooping towards him from behind a tree.

Its eyes were fierce and sharp, and its muscles were tense. It was obviously an extremely aggressive beast.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he slightly tilted his body to easily avoid the beast's attack.

The big tiger was a little surprised when it missed its first attack, but soon launched a more ferocious attack.

It opened its bloody mouth, its fangs flashed coldly, its hair stood up all over its body, and its strength and speed were increased to the extreme.

Shen Yan quickly adjusted his posture and aimed the longbow at the tiger's head.

He took a deep breath and used all his strength to tighten the bowstring. Then he let go and the arrow flew out instantly, hitting the big insect's head accurately.

After being hit by the arrow, the big insect fell to the ground in pain and let out a deafening roar.

Shen Yan watched it struggle in pain and shot two arrows at once, striking it in the head again. . .

The big tiger soon lost its breath of life. Shen Yan blew a whistle, and several people immediately ran over from a distance.

Several people looked at Shen Yan in astonishment, and then quickly carried the big tiger out.

Shen Yan looked at the sky and calculated the weight of the prey.

Then started walking back.

When we returned to the field, most of the people who had gone out hunting had returned.

The field was filled with prey.

Xiao Yi looked at the people who returned with a full load, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face.

"Today's winner is..." Xiao Yi spoke slowly, his voice full of majesty.

He paused, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Shen Yan, "It's Shen Xuan!

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Shen Yan slowly walked up to the emperor and said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is just an honor for me."

After Xiao Yi saw Shen Yan's face clearly, he was stunned. "Is it him?"

The hand that was originally raised paused, then was put down again.

He turned to Shen Chi and praised him, "Lord Shen has given birth to a good son, who is not only skilled in martial arts, but also handsome and heroic.

"Shen Chi said hurriedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

Shen Yan bowed to Xiao Yi and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I was just lucky..."

Xiao Yi looked at him deeply and said calmly, "You are fine."

"This jade pendant is given by me personally as a reward for your performance today. I hope you will continue to work hard and serve the country."

Shen Yan took the jade pendant with both hands: "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Before Shen Yan could stand up, dozens of figures swooped down from the darkness.

The people who came were wearing veils, wearing black tights, and their movements were strange.

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor." Three figures attacked Xiao Yi at the same time.

Shen Yan's eyes flashed, and he immediately protected Xiao Yi and drew his long sword, "Back off!"

Shen Yan let out a low shout, and his aura suddenly burst out, protecting Xiao Yi behind him.

The attacks of the men in black were all blocked by Shen Yan.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.

"The one who takes your life." One of the men in black replied coldly.

After saying that, several figures rushed towards Xiao Yi again, each move was deadly.

Xiao Yi also drew out a long sword and stabbed the man in black.

The civil and military officials nearby were also in chaos.

Suddenly there were wailing sounds everywhere.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" A long arrow flew through the air and pointed directly at Xiao Yi.

Seeing this, Shen Yan quickly stood in front of Xiao Yi, swung his sword and shot down the arrow.

"Die!" Shen Yan shouted angrily, and his sword energy swept across the sky, forcing the man in black to retreat.

But the man in black didn't seem to intend to let Xiao Yi go, and suddenly threw a handful of medicine powder at Xiao Yi.

"Not good!" Shen Yan was shocked, and the powder attacked Xiao Yi's face.

Xiao Yi immediately fell down, and Shen Yan took a step back and hugged Xiao Yi.

At this time, the man in black attacked again, with a fierce palm wind, going straight for Shen Yan's vital point.

A cold light flashed in Shen Yan's eyes. He increased his internal strength to the limit and swung his sword to meet the attack.

The sword energy and palm wind collided with each other, making a deafening noise. The man in black was knocked back several steps, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Yan was also badly injured, but he didn't care about himself. He picked up Xiao Yi and blew a whistle. A black horse immediately ran over from a distance. Shen Yan picked up Xiao Yi, jumped on the black horse and ran quickly towards the deep forest.
