The hourglass kept ticking, and there were eight horizontal bars carved on the eunuch's board beside it. It had been two hours since His Majesty entered.

Su Minglang moved his aching waist. Concubine Shu could no longer sit still and went to find some fun. The Queen seemed to be born for this kind of occasion. She sat straight and motionless for two whole hours, displaying the majesty and dignity of the royal family to the fullest.

Su Minglang even felt that Xiao Heng brought the queen here just to set up such a human signboard.

Finally, when the sun was at its zenith, the first person walked out of the forest. He was a young new face. He had been running in the forest for a whole morning and was sweating profusely. But when he saw the meager spoils, he couldn't bear to look any further.

Then a group of people came out, each of them either holding a rabbit or two golden pheasants, in short, there was no big prey.

What is different from the previous life is that this time, in addition to the previous people, there are many people who have never appeared before. Su Minglang thought that he could broaden his horizons and see some new things, but now it seems that they are just so-so.

When almost everyone had come out, Xiao Heng's figure appeared at the edge of the woods. He was riding his horse alone, with his head held high and his chest puffed out. Li Zhao followed behind him and walked slowly towards this side.

As the figures of the two people gradually became clearer, the group of people following him appeared in front of everyone. Xiao Heng was followed by four guards, divided into two groups, carrying an elk and an antelope respectively.

Su Minglang then saw the larger prey, but the flashing light on Xiao Heng's face hurt her, and she lost interest even though she should have found it interesting.

After Xiao Heng came out, a few more people came out one after another. After a long time, no one was left.

Xiao Heng ordered each family to count the number of people, and found out that there were still two people who had not come out. One was the eldest son of Yueyang Marquis, and the other was Zhou Linsu, a student of Xinke.

"Li Zhao, take a few people in to support them." Xiao Heng waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no one in sight at the edge of the forest, he ordered, "Take a few more people with you, nothing can happen to these two people!"

Not to mention that Marquis Yueyang is the only marquis of the opposite sex in the current dynasty, his importance to Xiao Heng can be imagined. Marquis Yueyang single-handedly blocked the enemy's team of a hundred people. Even if he relied on an excellent position, his ability is self-evident.

The importance of Yueyang Hou does not lie in his status, but in him as a person. When the barbarians from your southern border invaded, they could escape the sweep of the army by relying on cunning strategies. Only Yueyang Hou blocked them in an extremely tricky way and completely drove the southern barbarians away.

At that time, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom made an agreement that as long as Marquis Yueyang lived for a hundred years, they would not invade.

The other person, Zhou Linsu, was this year's new top scholar and was very much favored by Xiao Heng. So when he saw that these two people were not coming out for a long time, Xiao Heng felt a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to bring a few servants in to take a look." Marquis Yueyang was eager to protect his son, so he immediately brought people to Xiao Heng and made a request.

"Marquis Yueyang, please be patient. I have already sent people to search. The hunting ground is the royal garden. I have already sent people to clear it. Nothing will happen."

Xiao Heng said this, but he stared at the edge of the woods without blinking, but he didn't see a single person. Even after Li Zhao and his men had been in there for such a long time, no one replied.

Just when Xiao Heng was about to gather his men, Li Zhao's horse appeared in front of everyone first, but there was no human figure on the horse. It was not until the horse walked in front of the people according to its memory that people who were close could see the bloodstains on the saddle at a glance.

Xiao Heng didn't dare to wait any longer and was about to lead his troops inside, but he saw Li Zhao running out at full speed, carrying a white object on his shoulder.

It was not until I got closer that I realized that what he was carrying on his shoulders was none other than a gray-haired wolf.

"Wolf!" Everyone was shocked when they saw the wolf. Even Xiao Heng's expression changed again and again. "What's going on? Where are the others?"

Li Zhao put down the wolf and breathed a sigh of relief, pointing to the forest not far away. The soldiers he brought in came out one after another. Surrounded by them were the son of Yueyang Marquis and the new Zhou Linsu.

Li Zhao spoke only after seeing them approaching: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Master Zhou encountered a pack of wolves in the forest. When I led my men to the area, they were surrounded by the wolves."

"I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission and brought you two back safely."

"Good! Good!" Xiao Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw with his own eyes that the two were unharmed. Zhou Linsu was obviously seeing such a scene for the first time. She tensed her body in the emergency and suddenly relaxed, feeling weak all over.

On the contrary, the Prince of Yueyang was obviously very interested in this. The smile on his face never disappeared from beginning to end, and he couldn't let go of the wild wolf on his back.

"My dear minister, you are indeed worthy of my trust. This wolf can be regarded as one of your trophies." Xiao Heng was about to distribute the rewards with a wave of his hand, but was stopped by Li Zhao.

"Your Majesty, I did not kill this wolf. When I led my men to the scene, the wolves saw that we were outnumbered and scattered. This wolf, like the one on the prince's body, was killed by the prince and me."

"Those are all the credit of the prince. I am incompetent and could not help much." Zhou Linsu stood up and added after calming down.

"Oh?" Xiao Heng was a little surprised. After all, he could fight against the wolf pack alone and save two wolves' lives. He was definitely a first-class warrior.

But before Xiao Heng could finish his reward, Yueyang Hou stepped forward, waved his long sleeves and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, how could there be a pack of wolves in the royal forest?"

“Your Majesty just told me that he had sent people to investigate and make preparations, and there will definitely not be any danger!” The prince was the only son of the Marquis of Yueyang. When he was young, he fought in battles all his life and was seriously injured. He knew that he would never have children again, so he valued this only son very much. He was like holding him in his mouth for fear that he would melt, and holding him in his hand for fear that he would fall.

Xiao Heng's face instantly darkened when he heard this. The person in charge of the Imperial City Department was already sweating profusely. He quickly knelt on the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. We did go in and clean up. There was no wolf pack at the time!"

This was a plot that had never appeared in the previous life, Su Minglang thought about it.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising. In the previous life, the young doctor was seriously injured, and it was obvious that he was bitten. Now it seems that he can escape from the wolf pack, which shows that he has some skills.

I just don’t know how the people from the Imperial City Bureau handled it. Not only did they fail to deal with the wolves, they also let people in.

However, there were no wolves in the previous life, and I don’t know if this change in this life will have any impact.
