Hunting in Baiyan Mountain is a custom of Dachen, not only for the self-entertainment of the children of the royal family, but also for the emperor's examination of his sons and the children of the aristocratic family.

This year, besides the three princes and the great general Lu Fangjin, there were also many descendants of the clan and aristocratic families, forming three distinct groups of people.

Qi Xiao rode a horse and looked at the camp from the hillside. The tents were like white mushrooms in the wild, growing in clusters. The emperor's golden tent was a little far away from the other tents. The guards on the third floor seemed to be another world.

And the other tents formed their own formations, with the fifth and seventh as the center, one east and one west, and the children of the aristocratic family and the clan's children were either from the Qin Party or the Gongsun line. Naturally, they either followed the fifth or next to the seventh. .

There is also a group of military headquarters headed by Lu Fangjin, including the five capitals, the forbidden army, and the five city guards in the outermost circle.

Although the Wudu Mansion, the Forbidden Army and the Five City Guards all directly obey His Majesty's orders, there are also factional disputes, which are complicated and complicated, and Qi Xiao has not had time to figure it out. Get closer to the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince's Mansion is on the Seventh Prince's side.

Qi Xiao looked at it, secretly amused, if the situation in the court could be so clear, then the world would be peaceful.

Qi Xiao rode back to the camp, handed the horse over to the sentinel, walked into the camp at a slow pace, he was a little confused as he walked between the tents, he didn't seem to notice where his tent was just now.

Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao didn't know where they went, and they didn't know they were coming to pick him up.

If I knew it earlier, I should have followed Lu Fang back.

What's up with getting lost in camp?

Logically speaking, it is impossible for an unfavorable and unimportant person like Qi Xiao to occupy a "seat" in front of His Majesty's eyes, so the tent should be arranged on the periphery, and the identity of the prince and prince cannot be placed. too far.

Thinking of Qi Xiao like this, he went to the camp, looking for him in the corner between the aristocratic family and the military department, if he couldn't find him, he could only go to Lu Fang to eat.

After Qi Xiao circled around for a short while, it seemed that many eyes around him began to focus slowly, causing him to walk a few steps quickly, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Su Qin!" Without Lu Fangjin, it would be great to have Su Qin.

Hearing the sound, Su Qin looked back, and couldn't help frowning when he saw Qi Xiao, feeling a little unsafe in his heart.

"General Su, long time no see."

Qi Xiao smiled and walked quickly a few steps, catching up to Su Qin.

Su Qin was originally from Jiaozhou, and he had no relatives in the Yuan capital, so he was also arranged to live in the same guild hall, but his rank was too low, and he would definitely not be able to live in a separate courtyard, so he never saw Qi Xiao again. .

Su Qin clasped his fists: "The final general will see His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"No gift, no gift."

Su Qin looked around for a while, but did not see Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao, and asked rather puzzled, "Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness King Chu?"

"It's okay, just wandering around."

"...Then I will not disturb Your Highness, so I will take my leave."

"do not."

Qi Xiao called Su Qin to stop, and said with a smile, "It's my first time to participate in the autumn hunting, and everything I see is quite fresh. If General Su has nothing to do, why don't you walk with me?"

Su Qin looked at Qi Xiao and thought, why not take Baixiqiao and Zong Sheng with him if he needs someone to accompany him?Hanging out alone?

"Returning to Your Highness, it is the first time for the last general to come to Autumn Hunting, and it is thanks to the great general."

"That's fine, let's go for a walk together."

Su Qin took a small step back, cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Your Highness, the general is going to change the guard at the end."

Qi Xiao was helpless, Su Qin's responsibilities were hard to force, and he didn't really want to go shopping, so he could only smile and wave his hands: "It's my king's presumptuousness, General Su's military affairs are important."

"I will retire at the end."

"Hey, wait, do you know where General Lu is now?"

"Your Majesty summoned, the general should be in His Majesty's tent at this moment."

"..." Qi Xiao pulled out a wry smile, and watched Su Qin leave.

This is great, he can still rush into the golden tent and drag Lu Fangjin out to lead him the way?

Qi Xiao sighed, that's all, as a prince he is not very expensive, and face is not important, going back to eat is a serious matter.

So Qi Xiao randomly grabbed a soldier to ask for directions.

This little soldier was on duty at his post, and when he saw Qi Xiao bowing his hands and being rude, he looked horizontally and vertically, and saw that the clothes should be the son of a noble family. He didn't know Qi Xiao. Young master who is humble and ignorant, please forgive me."

"It's okay."

Qi Xiao grinned: "My little brother, I just want to ask for directions.

May I ask where the tent of His Highness the King of Chu is going? "

"Go north from the tent of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and there is a blue wolf banner outside the tent."

"Thank you very much."

Qi Xiao got the guidance, so he stopped wandering around and followed the direction pointed by the soldier.

When he was on the hillside just now, the flag hadn't been planted yet, so it turned out that he could rely on this to find his way, which was considerate, otherwise he would definitely not be the only one who lost his way.

From the military camp to the north, along the way, he saw the golden lion flag of the fifth child and the white tiger banner of the seventh child. Before the hunting started, there was a murderous intent of a secret rivalry. Maybe this hunting could be interesting, at least better than the two of them. It's more interesting if people only know how to fight.

After walking all the way like this, Qi Xiao couldn't help being suspicious, why hasn't he seen the Qinglang Banner yet?have to go north?Isn't it time to reach His Majesty's golden tent soon?In terms of seniority, who would dare to push him to His Majesty's side beyond the Fifth and Seventh Princes?

Qi Xiao finally saw the Qinglang Banner, and it was indeed very close to the golden tent, and if he got any closer, he would enter the guard circle of the imperial army.

Qi Xiao stopped to look at the Qinglang Banner, not knowing what to think, His Majesty really wanted to use him as a living target.

In the palace, to deal with the queen and concubine Zhao, does Qiu Lie have to deal with the fifth and seventh?

"Your Highness?" Tang Ling walked towards Qi Xiao, "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

"Young Master Tang."

Tang Ling followed Qi Xiao's gaze and looked at the blue wolf banner, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "It's quite suitable."

"Ok?"

"This blue wolf is quite suitable for you."

"Is Mr. Tang's words a compliment?"

"nature."

Tang Ling smiled warmly, somehow it seemed to be hotter than the warm autumn sun, and Qi Xiao couldn't think of a response for a while.

Tang Ling approached and said with a smile: "I am sincere, does your Highness believe me?"

"……whatever.

A wolf is a wolf. "

Tang Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, and suddenly stopped laughing for a moment, and apologized in a low voice.

"Huh? Why did you say sorry all of a sudden?" Qi Xiao didn't understand for a while, where Tang Ling's sudden guilt came from.

"I heard that when His Highness was just born, there was some gossip at the time when the Nine Stars of the Arrow were flying in the sky. I didn't mean anything else just now. Your Highness won't be unhappy, right?"

Tang Ling knew that Qi Xiao wouldn't be annoyed, but she just wanted to tease him. Just now when he looked up at the Qinglang Banner, his eyes seemed a bit complicated. Although Tang Ling couldn't see through it, he could feel the unhappiness inside.

Qi Xiao laughed: "So I'm such a narrow-minded person? If you don't mention the matter of the Sirius Calamity, I will almost forget it.

At that time, I couldn't do anything but cry, fortunately Si Tianjian was watching me. "

The whole country of Chen believed in Heavenly Venerable, but Qi Xiao, the father, dared not say whether it was true or false. Based on Qi Xiao's many years of observation, His Majesty respected Si Tianjian and Yuan Xing Guanming very much, so Si Tianjian Tianjian Jianzheng almost has a lofty status above ten thousand people, but Si Tianjian's words are not absolute. His Majesty only listens to what he wants to hear, and those who don't want to hear can have different opinions to satisfy His Majesty.

For example, on the night Qi Xiao was born, Sirius was flying in the sky, and Si Tianjian presented Sirius Duyao in front of the emperor to show the troubled times and the war disaster.

The emperor didn't dislike his son because of this, but took the opportunity to count Qi State's troops to advance Fenglin Mountain, harass the border of Dachen and the people, so as to arouse public anger, and ordered Bai Liu to lead the army to send troops to Qi State.

But this is not the father's protection of his son, because the same thing happened to the same person, and at different times, the ending is different.

Qi Xiao escaped the unprovoked disaster at birth, but suffered a disadvantage when he was ten years old.

That year, Chen and Qi fought again, and Qi State actually used heavy trebuchets to throw gunpowder crazily. Fenglin Mountain caught fire in the middle of winter, and it burned for hundreds of miles. It burned for three months. The state capital was almost annihilated by flying ash. Many people died of cough and asthma, and the land could not grow anything. The loss was heavy.

Si Tianjian brought up the old story of Sirius again, His Majesty issued an edict ordering Qi Xiao to enter Si Tianjian Linxiantai to fast and pray for blessings. Half a month later, with a spring rain, most of the fire in Fenglin Mountain was extinguished, and then Qi Xiao picked it up again. An imperial decree, the above meaning is also simple, his merits and demerits are equal, he is named the king of Chu, and he leaves Yuanjing.

Qi Xiao was only ten years old, and he had never seen what the imperial decree looked like before, and he never thought that he would be able to connect twice once he saw it, it is ridiculous to think about it now.

Tang Ling saw that Qi Xiao stood still and said nothing, and said, "Has Your Highness eaten lunch? It's not as good as one."

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling: "Mr. Tang wants to invite me to dinner again?"

"This meal can't be regarded as my host. There will definitely be opportunities in the future. Quan Dang owes His Highness first, right?"

Qi Xiao smiled: "Alright."

Tang Ling took Qi Xiao to her tent and arrived within a few steps. Qi Xiao realized that his tent was not only closer to His Majesty's golden tent, but also closer to the envoys of the Zhou Kingdom. can see.

It turned out that Tang Ling didn't meet him by chance while strolling around, but walked over after seeing him.

There is also a flag in front of Tang Ling's account, which is the symbol of Zhou State, the fire bird.

Qi Xiao couldn't help frowning, and looked at Tang Ling: "Are you going to participate in the hunt too?"

Tang Ling replied with a smile: "Didn't I come?"

There was no smile on Qi Xiao's face, Tang Ling was weak, riding a horse was enough, hunting was simply impossible.

Although the hunting is a royal entertainment on the surface, with a relaxed and harmonious appearance, but the fifth and seventh are secretly competing, and the military department wants to make face in front of His Majesty, neither of them will show mercy.

Apart from Ye Huai, Tang Ling probably couldn't find anyone with real skills, and even if there was him, he wouldn't show them all to Da Chen. Then the hunt would lose, and losing would be self-inflicted humiliation.

"Why did you agree?"

Tang Ling laughed, and stretched out her hand to take Qi Xiao's forearm to the tent: "I'm hungry, let's eat first."
