I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 38 Autumn Hunt (Part )

Emperors of all dynasties loved autumn hunting, and Han Junwu was no exception. The annual autumn hunting was here, and the entire palace was preparing for it. Favored concubines could stay in the manor outside the palace and participate in the autumn hunting. Qi Zhiying was also fortunate enough to be able to go out of the palace with them this time.

Autumn hunting is not only a feast for hunting, but also a spiritual baptism. The royal family and nobles would show their courage and wisdom through this autumn hunting, and the winner would not only show his strength but also win rewards.

The captured prey became a reward for everyone to celebrate the victory. In addition to cooking them into delicious dishes, people shared the generosity and joy of the emperor and were grateful for the prosperity and stability of the country.

Autumn days are always breezy, making people particularly happy. Picking a sunny day to leave the palace, Han Junwu brought his ministers and soldiers to the royal hunting ground. Here is a magnificent mountain forest, full of vitality.

Han Junwu was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and a golden crown. Although he was smiling, his eyes revealed a bit of majesty and coldness. He was surrounded by many nobles and ministers, who were wearing gorgeous robes and exquisite accessories, looking particularly noble.

In the autumn hunting ground, everything seems particularly active. Deer are running through the woods, hares are jumping in the grass, eagles are circling in the sky, and wolves are watching from a distance. This is a world full of wildness and danger, waiting for people to conquer and challenge.

Han Junwu held a longbow in his hand, watching all this with a smile on his face. The princes and sons, without exception, also held their bows and arrows tightly, preparing for the upcoming hunt with vigor and energy. There was a gleam of challenge in everyone's eyes, their heartbeats were accelerating, and their blood was boiling.

Following a command, the emperor was the first to shoot arrows, and the prey fled. Others also drew their bows and shot arrows at the prey like raindrops. The entire hunting ground was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere, and people kept cheering and screaming, excitedly waiting for the next prey to fall.

On this sunny autumn day, the royal hunting ground became a sea of ​​carnival. Han Junwu stood on a high earthen platform, his arrows piercing the air like lightning, and every shot was accompanied by the sound of the beasts wailing and falling to the ground. The crowd was not to be outdone, they all showed off their archery skills and competed for the ownership of the prey.

In the hunting ground, the running wild beasts were terrified. They tried to escape from this deadly hunting ground, but no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the pursuit of humans. Han Junyi spotted a wild boar running wildly in the grass. He rode his horse to chase it, holding a bow and arrow on horseback, his body as steady as a mountain, his eyes staring straight at the wild boar in front of him. Although the wild boar was very fast, it was eventually shot in the back by an arrow. It rolled in pain and finally fell in a pool of blood.

"Well done, Prince Yi!" Everyone cheered and congratulated Han Junyi for being the first to hunt a large prey after Han Junwu.

Seeing this, Han Haotian was not to be outdone. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, staring at a nimble leopard. The leopard noticed something and tried to climb up the treetop to hide its figure, but Han Haotian still shot its hind leg with an arrow. It wailed in pain, then jumped off the tree and ran all the way. The speed of the leopard has always been the fastest among animals. Han Haotian accidentally let it escape. "What a pity." He turned around and happened to meet Han Junyi's disdainful eyes. His face suddenly turned as black as charcoal. He made a fool of himself again. Damn it.

Cheers rose and fell in the hunting grounds, and people's faces were filled with excitement and satisfaction. They cheered for the emperor's bravery and Prince Yi's extraordinary archery skills. The hunting grounds seemed to have turned into a carnival stage, and everyone was showing off their archery skills and courage.

As the hunt progressed, the atmosphere on the hunting ground became increasingly tense. People kept chasing and shooting, but gradually sensed an ominous aura. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, dark clouds gathered, and the sky suddenly became dark. People looked at the sky in horror, not knowing what was about to happen.

At this moment, a huge black wolf rushed out from the dark clouds, with anger and revenge in its eyes. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening howl, shaking the entire hunting ground. People fled in panic, but the black giant wolf followed them closely.

The officials were so frightened that they drew their swords and halberds and tried to fight the wolf. However, the wolf was extremely ferocious, and its speed and strength were beyond people's imagination. It easily dodged the attacks, bit off the halberd of a charging soldier, and threw him to the ground.

The rest of the people rushed forward to rescue, but the giant wolf was like crazy, constantly attacking. With its fierce eyes, long fangs, and occasional roars, no one dared to take another step forward, for fear of accidentally becoming its prey.

"Whoever can kill it will be rewarded handsomely." Han Junwu stared at the giant black wolf in front of him. He was eager to do it himself, but he was already past the age to show off, so he let Yier show off with this mere wolf.

With the howl of the giant wolf, the whole hunting ground fell into chaos and panic. People fled in all directions, but the giant wolf followed them closely, chasing them relentlessly. The unlucky ones caught by it would be torn to death on the spot, and its ferocity was comparable to that of a tiger.

Han Junyi held the sword in his hand, staring at the black wolf in front of him. He let the wolf dodge his attacks several times, and he also barely avoided its huge mouth, otherwise its long fangs would have scratched his body with countless bloody marks. Everyone was worried about him when they saw this.

Han Haotian originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off, but when he saw that Han Junyi couldn't beat the black wolf, he knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as his own, so he backed off in his heart. After all, he still had to keep his life to sit in that position, so he let Han Junyi take the limelight this time.

What is different from the fighting here is that Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi avoided the crowds and hunted rabbits leisurely.

"Niao Niao, how about we have a comparison in archery?" Chen Shaoyi was suddenly excited and looked at Yuan Niao Niao with interest.

"We'll join too." Nian Shiyun came over with Yuan Xixi. The three major families were also invited this time, so Nian Shiyun naturally represented the Nian family to attend this royal event.

"Okay, come on." Yuan Niao Niao smiled contemptuously. This was a piece of cake. In her previous life, she learned archery just for Han Haotian. In order to earn some face for him during the autumn hunt, she spent three full months learning and practicing. Later, during the autumn hunt, she actually helped Han Haotian to shoot a leopard that wanted to escape. The two of them cooperated perfectly and overshadowed Han Junyi. It was only that rare time that Han Haotian praised her and showed a look of recognition. God knows how much she loved him at that time to be so bewildered by such a few good words.

"Okay." Upon seeing this, Chen Shaoyi immediately drew his bow and arrow, aiming at a little rabbit that was about to escape. With a "whoosh", the arrow shot towards the rabbit, and its ear was nailed to the tree trunk. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he looked at Yuan Niao Niao.

Seeing this, Yuan Niaoniao also concentrated, drew the bow, and released the arrow in one go. The arrow flew out and a butterfly was nailed to the tree trunk. : "How is it."

"Amazing." The butterfly was so small, but it was still flying. He was able to shoot it with one arrow, which shows how good Yuan Niaoniao's archery skills are. Chen Shaoyi applauded while looking at Yuan Niaoniao. It was indeed Niaoniao, and his admiration deepened. "Too amazing, Niaoniao, do you have any skills that you haven't told me yet? Show them all at once. You always amaze me."

".........."Is this what the cold and frosty Prince Chen can say? Yuan Niaoniao was speechless, "Aren't you usually quiet and your words are worth a thousand gold? You said a lot today."

"........" It was Chen Shaoyi's turn to be speechless. He had indeed never been a talkative person, but since he met Yuan Niaoniao, he seemed to have become a different person. He liked talking to her and had endless things to say.

"Pfft, hahahaha" It was so funny every time she teased Chen Shaoyi's dull look, Yuan Nianyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Miss Yuan, you are indeed extraordinary." Nian Shiyun was also shocked by Yuan Niao Niao's archery skills. Looking at the entire capital, he was afraid that there would not be another woman with such strength. He didn't even need to make a move and make himself look miserable.

"Sister, you are so awesome." Yuan Xixi's eyes were full of admiration. Although she was usually urged to practice martial arts by her sister, the comparison between them was like heaven and earth.

Seeing Yuan Niao Niao laughing, although Chen Shaoyi didn't understand why, he was also dumbfounded.

"It's about time. Let's go back and watch their performance." Yuan Niaoniao thought it was about time.

"Okay." Chen Shaoyi nodded.

So they walked back together.

…………

"Miss Yuan, be careful!" someone exclaimed. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Niao Niao.

The black wolf that was originally fighting to the death with Han Junyi suddenly turned around and ran towards her, roaring when it saw Yuan Niaoniao appear.

Everyone was on edge, fearing that Miss Yuan would be eaten by the black wolf in the next second.

After a second of hesitation, Chen Shaoyi and Nian Shiyun simultaneously picked up their swords and leapt into the air to pounce on the black wolf. The black wolf was careless and was scratched on its front leg by Chen Shaoyi. It turned around and ran towards Yuan Niao Niao and Yuan Xixi without any desire to fight. Seeing this, Chen Shaoyi drew his sword and stabbed the black wolf again.

Well, you big black wolf, you only pick on the weak, right? Seeing that the black wolf was about to pounce on her, Yuan Niaoniao slowly drew the bow, stared at the black wolf intently, and secretly gathered her energy and power into the arrow.

"Swish", with a clean and neat movement, the arrow hit the black wolf right in the middle of its eyebrows and even pierced the back of its head.

"Hiss, what a strong force."

"Good archery"

"That was the arrow shot by Miss Yuan. I saw it clearly. Oh my God!"

"Oh my god, this is too powerful! This strength is no less than that of a man!"

"I didn't expect that Miss Yuan, besides being Yao Zun's apprentice, has such an amazing side to her!!"

It was a critical moment just now. Yuan Niaoniao took the black wolf's life with a single arrow. Even Prince Yi was fighting with it.

Everyone was talking about it, and even Han Junyi was attracted by Yuan Niaoniao's beautiful arrow just now. He just stared at Yuan Niaoniao.

Han Haotian felt like he had lost out. If he had known earlier, he would have asked to marry Yuan Niaoniao first, instead of competing for Jin Jingni. In the end, he chose Feng Feier as a second choice. Why did he always lack a little bit of opportunity and luck? They took away the good ones, and the bad ones were left to him. Ha, he couldn't help but clench his fists because of his unwillingness. His eyes gradually became greedy when he looked at Yuan Niaoniao.

Yuan Niao Niao frowned. She naturally felt Han Haotian's scorching gaze. She felt uncomfortable even though she was being stared at. She silently took a step back and hid behind Chen Shaoyi. It was not because she was afraid, but because she felt physically uncomfortable. If he continued to stare at her like this, she was afraid that she would feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Hahaha, the disciple is better than the master, and the woman is as good as the man. General Yuan's spirit in heaven will definitely feel gratified and have no regrets in having such a daughter!" Han Junwu stared at Yuan Niaoniao closely, clapping his hands and praising her. The force was enough to shoot through the skull. A yellow-haired girl was so outstanding, and his own son was still in a stalemate. It was really embarrassing. When he passed by Han Junyi, he glared at him, then immediately smiled and looked at Yuan Niaoniao.

Han Junyi lowered his head silently. It was indeed useless for him to fail to quickly deal with the black wolf. He was even worse than a girl!

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Yuan Niao Niao bowed her head modestly with both hands, feeling a little annoyed. Why did this damn wolf attack her? And let her steal the limelight. Isn't this just causing trouble for herself?

"I think Miss Yuan should win the first prize today. Is that okay with everyone?" Han Junwu walked back to the platform and looked down. "I just said that whoever kills this black wolf will be rewarded handsomely. I'm not kidding. What reward do you want, Miss Yuan?"

In that case, I won't be polite. Yuan Niaoniao blurted out, "I dare to cancel the engagement for my younger sister."

As soon as this was said, everyone started to discuss again. They all knew that the second daughter of the Yuan family was engaged to Prince Yi. Now the eldest daughter wanted to cancel the engagement. Was she looking down on Prince Yi? Or did she think she was great because she was the apprentice of the pharmacist?

The smile on Han Junwu's face froze. He just looked at Yuan Niao Niao quietly. After a long while, he said, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this. My little sister won't be coming of age for another two years. Before that, I hope she can grow up without any worries, and then we can talk about marriage when she reaches the age of marriage. Because now she complains every day, saying that she can never learn this rule or that rule, and that she can't eat or sleep well. She is under too much invisible pressure, and she is still a child." Yuan Niaoniao was still worrying about finding an opportunity to cancel the engagement, and today she accidentally got this opportunity. While there are so many people around, she dared to say something.

Han Junwu had no words to express his pain. He said that he never joked, but he never expected that she would dare to bring this up. Well, what a Yuan Niaoniao! How dare she be so bold to refuse the marriage? I was thinking of giving your Yuan family a gift, but now you don't want it, so there is no need to keep it.

Since most of his Jinwu Guards were killed and his vitality was greatly damaged, he was planning to use a delaying tactic to first settle Yuan Xixi. It seems that he has a way to live but is determined to seek death! Although he was cruel to Yuan Niao Niao in his heart, he immediately regained his smile on his face: "I promise you, let's talk about it when Xixi grows up."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor!" Yuan Niaoniao immediately bowed in gratitude.

Yuan Xixi's tense face finally relaxed. She had just heard her sister dare to mention her own marriage, and she was so scared that she was nervous, fearing that Han Junwu would suddenly change his attitude and take her sister to jail on the spot.

Now, my biggest worry has been solved. I looked up at Nian Shiyun unconsciously. Coincidentally, he was looking at me. Their eyes met and they laughed at the same time.
