The sky is getting dark very quickly, especially in the deep mountains and old forests, even if there is still a little afterglow outside, the mountains and forests have completely dimmed.

Yin Xu and Teng Yu finished counting the prey and prepared to go back. Today's battle was fruitful. The prey they snatched could not be pulled by two horses, so in the end they even snatched the horses, and the two of them pulled four horses. It's cool.

In the palace at the foot of the mountain, the emperor sat on a high platform with a heavy face, and soon a little eunuch ran over.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cao is fine. The imperial doctor said that he just lost a lot of blood, and the injury is not serious."

The emperor waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and then told the guards beside him, "Take a few people to the mountain to meet him, and don't let someone come back in the end."

Concubine Yun Gui patted her chest, sighed and said, "God bless you, luckily Zeming is fine, otherwise how can we explain to Master Cao?"

She glanced at the emperor reproachfully, "These children really don't know the seriousness, and they are about to die. Is there anything I can't wait to let His Majesty decide? How can Cao's family also belong to Yi'er's Yue family? Is it because they are afraid Can't we favor our own people?"

The official standing next to him sneaked a glance at Huo Zhengquan, and said in his heart: As expected of the Huo family, even an outcast from childhood is full of blood, but it's just too cruel.

"I'll ask about the matter when they come back. Didn't Yu'er be there? There are only two of them. Look at these..." The emperor pointed to the teenagers kneeling below, their faces still gloomy, "Even two I can't beat it personally, and I deserve it if I lose."

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Although there are only two people on the other side, their identities are not ordinary. How dare you let these children really attack them."

The kneeling teenagers raised their heads, and they wanted to refute but couldn't say it out. Are they supposed to admit that they bullied more and still lost?

"The imperial concubine's words are reasonable. After all, identities are different. If the injured person were the third prince, these children would have died." Yun Heran immediately added, and stabbed Teng Yu fiercely.

The siblings looked at each other secretly, with a smile on their lips.

Concubine Yun also gave Cao's family a wink, how could she not take advantage of such a good opportunity?It's a pity that Cao Zeming didn't die, otherwise Teng Yu's reputation would be completely ruined this time, making it difficult for him to stand up again.

Cao Shangshu got the signal and stood up tremblingly, bent his knees and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty... the old minister has devoted himself to Daliang for more than ten years. The Cao family has been an official for three generations. He asked himself that he has been diligent and never made a big mistake. The only grandson of our old Cao family, if he has a mistake, the old minister will not want to live."

Emperor Dechang frowned. He had chosen Tengyi, the Yue family, because the Cao family had a shallow foundation in the imperial court, with simple connections, and this Cao Shangshu was also an upright person.

But in just a few short years, has it changed?

Forget it, Emperor Dechang was a little disheartened, and angrily said: "Since you care about your grandson's life, don't let him learn to wield a sword, let alone take part in any hunting, just stay at home. Is everything all right?"

Cao Shangshu's body trembled, and he kowtowed three times, "Your Majesty forgives the crime, and the veteran is also in a hurry. The veteran hopes that his children and grandchildren can be both civil and military, so that they can live up to your majesty's high expectations and cultivation."

"Well, get up." The emperor replied lightly, unmoved by it.

Concubine Yun's eyelids twitched, she wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, took a peek at the emperor's face, then poured a glass of wine for the emperor with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, you are also a father. Parents, don't they just want their children to be safe and sound. Mr. Cao is also worried too much. You have to understand his painstaking efforts as a grandfather."

The emperor's face finally recovered when he heard this, he nodded and said: "This child is a debt owed by his parents in the previous life, so it's hard for Shangshu Cao. When those two brats come back, I will make them think behind closed doors."

"Your majesty is serious. It must not be like this. It's normal for children to get hurt when they fight around. It's because the old minister is too nervous."

The emperor was about to comfort him when he heard someone report, "Your Majesty, the third prince and Young Master Huo Qi are back."

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of Shenlu Mountain, and they really saw two people walking slowly.

It is not too late to come back at this time. Generally, in order to buy more time to hunt more prey, people who enter the mountain will stay until after night falls.

One day, as long as you come back before midnight, it counts, but the mountain is dangerous at night, and few people dare to stay very late.

"Look, they brought back four horses." Someone exclaimed, bringing everyone's attention to the two behind them.

"It's really... Oh my god, how many prey have you hunted?"

The people got closer and closer, and everyone finally saw the faces of the two people clearly. It stands to reason that after a day of hunting, even if they were not exhausted, they should be very tired, and at least they should be sweating a little. He looks dry and clean, as if he just went out for a walk and came back.

"Haha, good! Good!" Emperor Longyan Dayue got up and walked down, patted Teng Yu's shoulder and kept praising him, "As expected of my son!"

Teng Yu looked confused, "Father, I don't understand what you mean."

"...Cough, didn't Yu'er hunt these prey?"

Teng Yu looked embarrassed, and waved his hands and said, "How can that be? My son's riding and shooting skills...cough cough, these belong to Huo Tian, ​​and I just helped bring them back."

"He hunted it all by himself?" The emperor frowned and looked at Yin Xu in surprise.

Teng Yu nodded and shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

It is useless for him to claim these credits, so the prey must belong to Yin Xu, but if it is said to be a hunter, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of deceiving the emperor.

"Your Majesty, that's the prey that Huo Tian snatched from everyone!" A young man couldn't help but speak out, with a hint of anger and humiliation in his tone.

"Oh? Robbed?" The emperor thought of the kid from the Cao family who was brought back, maybe it was because of this incident that the conflict arose.

Before he had time to ask the ins and outs of the matter, he pointed at the young man who spoke just now, "You, come out and explain the matter clearly!"

The young man shivered a bit, regretting his impulsiveness, but the emperor had already spoken, so he naturally dared not to say it, not only had to say it, but also what he said was in line with the facts, otherwise he would be deceiving the emperor.

It's just that his exposition is inevitably personal, and he described Yin Xu as a person who will do anything to win.

"Your Majesty, that's how things are. There are a lot of people robbed along the road. You can send someone to investigate!"

"What's there to check?" Teng Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smug smile: "The rule set by the father is only that whoever hunts the most prey wins, but it doesn't mean that you can't grab it. You are stupid and useless, what is there to be wronged about?"

"Third Highness, the emperor's intention is to test everyone's riding and archery level, not their hands-on ability." Yun Heran reminded.

"Is that so?" Teng Yu had an innocent look on his face, with an expression of "I don't know".

He looked at Emperor Dechang, "What did the emperor say? If my son misunderstood, how about doing it again tomorrow?"

The emperor sighed helplessly, "So what if my father gives you another chance? Do you have what it takes to win the championship?"

Teng Yu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and defended in a low voice: "I have helpers, it's very easy to win."

The emperor looked at Yin Xu who had been silent all this time, with a look of admiration on his face, "As expected of being a disciple of the Huo family, that's great!"

He thought about it, did the helper Teng Yu mentioned just now refer to Huo Tian, ​​or the family he represents behind him?

The Huo family is not allowed to participate in the battle for succession, but every emperor subconsciously guards against the Huo family, for fear that they will stand behind some prince.

"Thank you." Yin Xu said modestly.

His own military will count the prey, count the data, and then report a surprising number.

Just looking at the load-bearing capacity of the four horses, everyone didn't quite believe this figure. The general personally picked out a few things and put them in front of everyone.

There was a gasp from the crowd. These things actually had tiger skins, wolf skins, and bear paws, and there were quite a few of them. No wonder they had such a huge record.

"Let someone bring some food and drink first, I'm hungry." Teng Yu pulled Yin Xu to the side and sat down, ignoring everyone's probing gazes.

He knew what these people were thinking, it was just that they couldn't believe that the two of them could grab so many prey, maybe they were evaluating Yin Xu's strength.

Even Huo Zhengquan was no exception, he was staring at Yin Xu with scrutiny, as if he wanted to cut him open section by section.

This child gave him too many surprises. He thought it was just a coincidence that he learned martial arts, but he didn't expect that he was much better than he thought.

He bowed his head and thought to himself: I don't know how this child compares with the other sons. The Huo family's generation is not top-notch, and among his many sons, only the eldest son and fifth son can do it well, and only the two of them have the chance to pass the exam. The election of the head of the household.

There is no shortage of outstanding talents in the side branches. It is not easy to keep the right to be the head of the family. Now that there is one more Huo Tian, ​​it happens to be one more choice.

It seems that he needs to get in touch with this child to see if he has plasticity.

Huo Zhengquan's eyes turned around the face that was extremely similar to his own, and at the same time glanced at the palms he and Teng Yu held.

He frowned, watching the interaction between the two with displeasure, and thought: It seems that the most important thing right now is to break the relationship between the two.

Regardless of whether the child will be needed in the future, he will not let him do such absurd things that corrupt public morals.

The teenagers on the mountain came back one after another, some were in high spirits, some were downcast, especially when they saw Yin Xu and Teng Yu, they were even more depressed.

And the ones who were in good spirits were all the lucky ones who were not met by Yin Xu. They thought they had a lot of prey, which was enough to fight, but they found out that the prey piled up in a pile of hills turned out to be just one person, so they had no choice but to be discouraged. Back off.

It's just that they don't understand how a person can hunt so many prey in such a short day.

Even if piles of prey are placed in front of them, it is difficult to have this kind of harvest, right?What's more, their arrows are limited, and the 100% hit rate is not so much.

Huo Yilong was the last one to appear, and also the most embarrassed one among the group of teenagers.

The coat on his body has turned into strips of rags, and there are still many small wounds on his body, which can be seen from animals.

He exuded a gloomy air, and the hatred in his eyes could overflow poisonous juice when he saw Yin Xu and Teng Yu.

"How did this happen?" the emperor asked with concern.

Huo Yilong didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, he replied politely: "My Majesty, I met a pack of wolves when I was on the mountain, not only lost my prey, but almost lost my life, please forgive me!" "Oh? Met a pack of wolves? How could there be a pack of wolves on the outskirts of Shenlu Mountain? Someone..."

"Your majesty..." Huo Yilong loudly stopped the emperor from saying what he wanted to say, he gritted his teeth, "Your majesty, I lost my way and entered the forest, only to be besieged by wolves."

His words saved the guards here, otherwise they would be charged with "unfavorable handling of affairs", and those people would have to pack up and leave.

"Being able to fight against wolves, the tiger father has no dogs! I think your father challenged a dozen prairie wolves by himself. I really admire you."

"Your Majesty is absurd, I am far worse than my father." Huo Yilong said sincerely, he has an inexplicable admiration for Huo Zhengquan, his father, and thinks that his father is the best, and he, the son of the Huo family, naturally also Should be the best.
