I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 83 Containment
As he said this, he stuffed the bow into Song Lingyi's hand.

Song Lingyi took the bow in confusion. Just as she was about to look up to ask, the maid turned around and left quickly.

"Hey!" Song Lingyi looked down at the bow in her hand and found that it was made of the same material as Zhao Yinxian's.

A gift from His Highness?

Which prince?

Princess Qi Yang did not come to the autumn hunt this time, so this "prince" was definitely not Princess Qi Yang. When she said last night that there were no good bows and arrows, Shen Liuyun was there too. Could it be his royal highness the Crown Prince?

But she and Shen Liuyun had no friendship at all, so why would he give her an ox horn bow for no reason? Just from the color and texture of the bow, and the three jades inlaid in the center of the handle, it was clear that this bow was definitely worth a fortune.

In another heavily guarded tent, Shen Liuyun looked at Lu Jing who was leaning against the weapon rack and cleaning his crossbow. "That's the best ox horn bow in my Curry!"

"But didn't you give it to me?"

"You are trying to do this by borrowing my name and using it to offer sacrifices to others. How can you do such a thing?" Shen Liuyun said.

Lu Jing calmly put away his crossbow and changed the subject a little stiffly: "Your Highness, Yu Youzhi has many spies and has been making moves in Chang'an City recently. The autumn hunt is an opportunity, but it is also risky. You don't need to show up for the encirclement and suppression operation later."

Shen Liuyun gathered his thoughts and said, "King Xuan died not long ago, and Yu Youzhi often sent people to Xuancheng to deliver letters. The prince of Xuan is young, and it is inevitable that he will be taken advantage of. The longer it is delayed, the more chaotic the future will be. I have to make plans early. This matter is of vital importance, and I must go."

……

Zhao Yinxian's enthusiasm for hunting has always been the highest.

Early in the morning, she was the first to come out of the tent. The servants immediately brought out the equipment and asked her to choose the weapons and hunting tools she would carry with her that day.

Zhao Yinxian looked around and wished she could take them all with her, but she regretted that there were not enough people to accompany her.

When Song Lingyi came over with the newly acquired ox horn bow, Zhao Yinxian's eyes widened when she saw the brown ox horn bow in her hand.

"Is this your bow? Where did you get such a beautiful ox horn bow?"

Song Lingyi was a little embarrassed, "It was given to me by someone else... Maybe they thought my archery skills were too poor, so they gave me a better one to practice with."

"Master Ye gave it to you?" Zhao Yinxian naturally thought that this ox-horn bow was made by Ye Xuan. She reached out and carefully picked up the bow. Her fingertips slowly brushed over the three flawless jades. She looked up at Song Lingyi and said, "You are amazing. He was willing to give you such a valuable bow and arrow. My father had a long sword that was used in the battlefield and killed countless enemies. I begged him for a long time but he didn't give it to me. He is really so annoying."

"Sister Zhao, you are joking." Song Lingyi smiled faintly, "This is just a bow and arrow. How can it compare with General Zhao's sword? General Zhao's sword is a sharp weapon to protect the country."

Zhao Yinxian curled her lips, and the next moment she smiled at Song Lingyi in a flattering manner and said, "Since you can't shoot, how about we switch, and you lend me this bow and arrow for a day?"

"..." That's not a good idea. She's not sure who gave her the bow. If it really was given by the Prince of Jin, he would probably be unhappy if she lent it to someone else without her permission.

Song Lingyi smiled and said, "I am willing to do so, but I don't know whether this bow is a gift or just a loan. If I don't bring it with me on the first day of going out, it will be embarrassing to ask about it."

Zhao Yinxian thought about it carefully and decided not to take it. She returned the bow to her and said, "Then lend it to me when you have the chance."

Song Lingyi nodded.

At three quarters past the hour, a group of people came into the enclosure in a mighty stream.

Song Lingyi held the bow and arrow, her eyes unconsciously swept in the direction of Shen Liuyun, who was sitting upright on a tall horse, surrounded by officials and eunuchs. She thought that since the maid didn't say which prince sent it, it meant that the person who sent it might not want others to know, so she had better pretend that it was a reward from the master to avoid causing trouble for others.

When the men and horses entered the hunting grounds, an eunuch came to report that a tiger had appeared in the southeast hunting area early this morning. Everyone else was terrified when they heard about the tiger, but Yu Youzhi remained undeterred, "It's just a tiger, why should you be afraid?"

"Commander Hu, come with me to get tiger gall to make wine."

"I humble my position and take orders."

Yu Youzhi squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and headed straight for the southeast hunting area. In addition to the three heavily armored guards, there were also several officials and eunuchs with him.

Few people choose to go to the southeast hunting area because there are tigers there and it is close to cliffs, which makes the risk factor high.

Yu You's team arrived at the southeastern hunting area and soon had a great harvest. In front of the dense forest, a hundred meters away, on a huge rock, there was a tiger lying down and taking a nap.

Yu Youzhi commanded his men to encircle the enemy in an orderly manner, with bows and arrows drawn, ready to fire.

Just when he was about to make a move, the sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered and heavy rain poured down in an instant.

"Shaoqing, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first!" The young eunuch who spoke wiped the rain from his face that blurred his vision.

"Escape?" Yu Youzhi opened his thin lips slightly, his cold eyes like a viper fixed on the front of the dense forest, "I'm afraid the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."

The young eunuch didn't quite understand Yu Youzhi's words and was thinking about it secretly. Suddenly, several cold lights appeared and countless poisoned hidden weapons attacked them.

……

There was a series of crisp sounds, and the hidden weapons that were attacking like raindrops encountered the knife light as fast as a hurricane, and were shaken far away to the ground. Then, the knife light counterattacked towards the assassin who had launched a sneak attack.

There was a crackling sound, and after a few screams, the bodies of the two guards were cut in half, and their blood splattered into ashes.

Without waiting for the remaining guards to react
A silver arrow flew through the air, heading straight for Yu Youzhi's face.

Commander Hu was no pushover to be the commander of the Imperial Guards. He blocked the arrow with his sword. Yu Youzhi was not afraid of danger and did not even blink.

Commander Hu once again looked at the big rock a hundred meters away.

The tiger has disappeared
In the rain, there was only one man with a ghost face and black clothes, holding a crossbow, standing on top, looking very cool. Eight men wearing bamboo hats and black clothes with ghost faces collected their arrows at the same time and stood neatly in the open space in front of him.

He suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a trap today!
"Shaoqing, I will cover your retreat!"

"Retreat..." Yu Youzhi's eyes were cold, "It's still uncertain who will live and who will die today!"

As his words fell, the ground in the southeast hunting area seemed to shake, and the uniform sound of horse hooves mixed with the wind and rain.

"Capture the assassin and reward him based on the number of heads he kills!" Yu Youzhi said loudly.

But in a moment, this secluded hunting area was tightly surrounded.

The storm continued. Lu Jing had guessed that Yu Youzhi was not so easy to kill, so he was not surprised by the current tense situation.
