New Year's Eve.

Every household is very lively.

Carriages are walking on the streets, and figures busy posting Spring Festival couplets can be seen everywhere.

There are very few vendors on the street. Even if there are still some people who insist on setting up stalls today, they will stop working and go home in the afternoon to welcome the New Year with their families.

Only those who have nothing to do or are actively engaged in camping will give up this rare moment of reunion and choose to engage in some special activities outside.

To the east of the city, there is a hunting ground.

This is one of the favorite places for aristocrats to play. Even though today is New Year's Eve, it can't stop many people's enthusiasm for playing.

"Princess, we are here."

Leng Lanzhi got out of the carriage with Liusha's help and asked, "Is he here?"

Liusha nodded: "Here he comes."

This hunting farm mainly engages in two activities, one is horse racing and the other is hunting.

Needless to say the rules of horse racing. The hunting ground is responsible for selecting a few fat and strong horses and putting them on the track. People watching can place bets. If the number they bought comes out on top, they can Win and win.

As for hunting, that’s also literal.

Interested people can purchase admission to become a hunter. The hunting ground will release prey into the hunting area. Hunters can prepare their own bows and arrows, or they can use the bows and arrows provided by the hunting ground. The prey they shoot can be taken away directly. .

It is worth mentioning that some hunters will choose to bring hounds in, which is also allowed in the hunting grounds.

After all, some hunters like to watch hounds bite their prey, finding this process more satisfying than shooting the prey directly with a bow and arrow.

Before Leng Lanzhi married into the Pingnan Hou Mansion, she had followed the prince and Murong Zhen here several times, but she was not very interested in such bloody activities. Therefore, most of the time she just watched and did not participate in the hunting.

But today...

In the hunting ground, cheers suddenly sounded.

Leng Lanzhi's expression changed and she looked in the direction of the sound, but she couldn't see anything through a wall.

The person responsible for guiding the way explained: "Guest, this is our distinguished guest who shot the prey."

Leng Lanzhi raised his eyebrows: "Most of those who dare to come to the hunting grounds are those with real skills. Isn't it normal to shoot a handful of prey?"

The boy who led the way was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He didn't know Leng Lanzhi's identity. Seeing that she was a woman and asking such a big question, his eyes suddenly became a little strange.

It's just that although Leng Lanzhi traveled incognito, she was not as low-key as she was in Tianhai City. The Xiulifang skirt she wore had obvious features. Although the gold hairpin and Bu Yao on her bun were not very luxurious, they were also low-key and expensive to the naked eye. gas.

What's more, she took out the 100-tael VIP entrance fee without blinking an eye.

The boy didn't dare to show his emotions, but his words still contained a bit of contempt: "This guest doesn't know something. If he just shot the prey normally, the guests around him would naturally not have such a big reaction."

Suddenly, he said with blazing eyes: "But this guest is different! He has a noble status, superb archery skills, and never missed a shot. Before you came, he had shot more than 20 prey in a row, and he is the well-deserved leader today. .”

Leng Lanzhi showed an interested expression: "Oh? So powerful?"

"That's natural!" The boy's face showed a look of fanatical admiration: "That's Prince Yue! How can he not be awesome?"

A flash of light flashed in Leng Lan's eyes: "Prince Yue? Why didn't I know that his archery skills were good?"

Not to mention the riding and archery lessons in the past, the King of Yue never showed much superb archery skills; even in the many royal hunts after he became an adult, his results were not outstanding, and not only was he severely stepped on by the King of Qin , even some dudes who are known for their lack of learning and skills can crush him in terms of quantity and quality of prey.

The boy's eyes became more and more contemptuous: "Girl, please forgive me for saying this, although your background may be good, but compared with Prince Yue, it is far behind."

"Where can you find out whether Prince Yue's archery skills are good or not?" Liusha frowned: "Let..." Si.

Leng Lanzhi waved his hand to stop Liusha's cold drink.

The waiter thought Liusha was talking about another vulgar word, and his eyes became more contemptuous and contemptuous.

He thought that Leng Lanzhi was just a woman from a small family who spent a lot of money to come to their hunting ground to "hunt people."

There are many women like this in their hunting grounds, usually some with some background, but not top-notch. There is no hope for such a woman to become a wife of a top-class wealthy family, but to be a concubine or something like that is impossible. More than enough.

Especially for the concubine of a prince, who can say for sure whether this "concubine" will become a "fei" in the future?
Even the supreme throne is not impossible to think about.

Leng Lanzhi asked again: "Does Prince Yue come here often during this period?"

"It's not that he comes often." When the waiter saw her asking about the King of Yue, he became more and more sure of his guess: "He comes every ten days and a half, and every time he comes, his archery skills will become more refined. "

A look of deep thought flashed across Leng Lan's eyes.

While talking, several people had already crossed the arch and entered the huge hunting ground.

In the hunting ground in winter, the ground is the withered yellow color of the grass and trees, but if you look closely, you will find that the withered yellow color is mixed with a hint of new green.

A few hundred meters away, several tall horses were galloping. Occasionally, arrows would be shot from the horses' backs. The rabbits on the ground were frightened and fled in all directions, but many rabbits still couldn't escape the fate of being shot.

Whenever a rabbit is shot, the onlookers will applaud enthusiastically.

The boy said: "Girl, the viewing platform is over here, please come."

The hunting ground is divided into three parts, of which the hunting ground covers the largest area and can be seen endlessly.

Not far from the arch stands a high platform, which is what the waiter calls the viewing platform. It is specially designed for guests who are not leaving to rest and appreciate the heroic appearance of the hunters who are hunting.

There is a stable on the right side of the arch. There are many tall horses in the stable, which can be rented out to guests.

Some guests who like mounted shooting but do not come on horseback will choose horses from the hunting grounds as mounts.

Leng Lanzhi went straight to the stable.

The boy thought she had gone to the wrong place: "Girl, the viewing platform is over here."

Liusha couldn't bear it any longer: "Blind your dog eyes, my lady is here to hunt!"

Leng Lanzhi quickly picked a horse.

She turned on her horse, and Liusha opened the large package she had been holding since she entered the door, revealing a long bow inlaid with gems.

At the same time, cheers rang out again in the hunting grounds.

It turned out that the King of Yue fired both arrows together and hit the target!
Listening to the cheers and compliments of the people around him, the King of Yue looked humble, but he could not suppress the smile in his eyes.

Although yesterday's plan failed, it failed to get rid of Jialuo, the troublemaker, and it also failed to make Jialuo and the prince meet each other.

However, his most advantageous chess piece has already entered the prince's palace.

This move is more useful than any plan.

Listening to the compliments from around him, he seemed to see himself sitting on the dragon throne, and the ministers shouted long live...

With a burst of pride, he prepared to shoot another arrow that was sure to hit.

At this moment, another sound of breaking wind sounded. (End of chapter)
