After returning to the palace, Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but feel sentimental, so he spread out the rice paper and started painting:

In the dense forest, a girl in white and a boy in green sat side by side on a tree, smiling at each other.

The girl was extremely beautiful, clever and lively, like a fairy in the forest; the boy was gentle as jade, with affectionate eyes, and he looked at the girl with gentle and affectionate eyes...

He was afraid that the painting would be discovered and reveal Jiang Li's identity, so he deliberately changed her black clothes into white.

In his mind, Jiang Li should be dressed in white clothes as white as snow, pure and flawless.

I wonder what Ari is doing now?

Thinking of her and Xie Changan being together day and night and their intimacy, Nangong Qinghe felt sad again.

However, there have always been rumors that Xie Changan is a..., A'li should not be attracted to him.

Nangong Qinghe comforted himself in this way.

He wants to keep a low profile, but the newly appointed King of Qin and King of Qi will not sit still.

The autumn hunting time every year is the best time to trip up the opponent.

It is not convenient to use those shady means in the capital, but when you get to the hunting ground, there are swords and knives, and all kinds of ferocious beasts. Isn't it normal for some accidents to happen?

Not to mention killing the other person, injuring or crippling him is fine. A disabled prince is destined to have no chance of becoming the emperor.

They each prepared a big gift for each other.

Neither the King of Qin nor the King of Qi took the Third Prince seriously at this time.

They didn't expect that in the near future, they would deeply regret missing this opportunity.

The next day, the emperor climbed up the city wall to watch the siege. Seeing the fluttering flags and neat military formations, he was very satisfied and immediately ordered the hunt to begin.

A majestic horn sounded.

The general of the imperial guards respectfully presented the bow and arrows: "Your Majesty, please start hunting."

The emperor refused. He had just recovered from a serious illness, and the purpose of holding this hunting trip was to appease the people. In his current condition, how could he draw the bow?

"Order the King of Qi to go hunting on my behalf." The emperor said slowly.

Nangong Xihe was overjoyed: "I obey your order."

He stepped forward and saluted, then took the bow and arrow and walked towards the edge of the city.

The imperial guards below quickly released a few deer.

Nangong Xihe aimed at a sturdy stag, put an arrow on the bow, and the arrow shot straight at the stag like a meteor.

With a painful cry, the stag fell to the ground.

The victory horn sounded and everyone cheered.

Nangong Xihe smiled slightly and knelt on one knee: "I am glad that I have fulfilled your mission."

The emperor laughed: "Good, good!"

The imperial guards presented the deer's body to the emperor, who was very pleased to see that the arrow had hit the vital point. He said, "The military and civil skills of the King of Qi are very similar to my own. This bow has been with me for many years, and I will give it to the King of Qi today."

Nangong Xihe's joy was beyond words: "Thank you, father, for the reward!"

This is equivalent to saying that the throne is to be passed on to him.

Nangong Taihe's face turned pale.

Cui Jue secretly glanced at Nangong Qinghe in the crowd, and seeing that he was calm and composed, without showing any expression, he couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart: The King of Jin is really patient!

With the sound of horns and drums, the hunt officially began.

The three princes and the nobles all led their troops into the hunting ground.

Nangong Taihe took the lead with a sneer on his face: Good brother, let me let you be proud for a while, I wonder if you can accept this gift from me?

Nangong Qinghe, with his guards, followed the team slowly.

His noncompetitive attitude made the powerful officials who intended to rely on him frown secretly. He was probably a hopeless person!

Nangong Xihe chased a deer into the depths of the dense forest.

He was riding a Ferghana horse, leaving the guards behind him far behind.

This is deep in the hunting ground, and it is quiet and deserted.

Nangong Xihe was riding on a horse. Seeing that the stag was exhausted, he bent his bow, aimed at the stag, and was about to shoot.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!

A gust of wind blew from behind, and Nangong Xihe subconsciously rolled off the horse and avoided the attack!

Several masked men appeared out of nowhere, who looked like Japanese ninjas, and slashed at him with long swords.

Nangong Xihe was shocked and shouted "There is an assassin", rolling under the horse's belly and barely avoiding the knife.

At this moment, a flash of sword light appeared before his eyes like snow, and the assassin closest to him fell to the ground with a scream.

Nangong Xihe’s eyes blurred and he was suddenly picked up by someone.

His body suddenly left the ground and he couldn't help but scream.

"Don't panic, Your Highness. I am a secret guard of the East Factory."

The man hung him on the tree roughly, then whistled sharply to summon other secret guards.

Nangong Xihe heard the person's voice was tender, crisp and extremely pleasant to the ear, and it turned out to be a woman!

He felt relieved: "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."

Several ninjas were about to attack the tree when suddenly a dozen Dongchang secret guards dressed in black and wearing masks appeared from all around and raised their swords to block the ninjas' attacks.

One of the secret guards looked up at the tree: "Sixteen, are you okay?"

The female secret guard said, "Brother Eleven, I'm fine, hurry up and catch them!"

Nangong Xihe's mind was in a state of confusion. So her name was "Sixteen"? It sounded like a code name.

The voice is so tender, it turns out to be a little girl?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the ninjas fled hurriedly into the dense forest, and the East Factory secret guards chased them closely.

Nangong Xihe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the assassin run away. He was about to turn around to look at the female secret guard, but he didn't expect her to pick him up again, jump lightly from the tree, and throw him to the ground.

Nangong Xihe almost fell down. Still in shock, he looked back and found that there was no one there.

Nangong Xihe felt a little annoyed at being treated like a sack, and looked around for her.

He only heard that very pleasant voice sounding above his head again: "Yinjiu, here!"

Nangong Xihe looked up when he heard the voice. Standing on a tall treetop was a secret guard in black. He was wearing a black mask that covered most of his face and had a petite figure.

"girl……"

Before Nangong Xihe could finish his words, he saw a man from the Eastern Depot running towards him breathlessly. When he saw him, he immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late in coming to your rescue!"

“No need to be so polite.” Nangong Xihe said gently.

On the tree, the woman in black looked impatient, "Yinjiu, you're too slow! I'll go first, I'll leave this to you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Nangong Xihe sideways, and her figure flashed, and she floated away like a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

Nangong Xihe took a quick glance and saw that under the mask, the girl had skin as white as snow, rosy lips and white teeth. With his experience of seeing countless girls, he knew that she was clearly a young beauty!

He was also amazed by the girl's high martial arts skills.

Nangong Xihe's heart moved slightly, and he became more gentle, "Are you from the East Factory? Who is that girl?"

Yin Jiu clasped his fists in fear and said, "Your Highness, we are the personal guards of Lord Xie. I am Yin Jiu, and her code name is Yin Shiliu."

"Yin Shiliu? The East Factory actually has female secret guards?" Nangong Xihe was quite interested. "You have done a great job in saving the emperor. I will reward you later."

At this time, Nangong Xihe's guards also arrived.

Yin Jiu dragged the assassin on the ground and said goodbye to Nangong Xihe.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" The guards knelt on the ground, terrified.

Nangong Xihe's face turned pale and he slapped the leading guard hard.

"By the time you guys came to rescue me, I would have already died!"

"I am guilty of the crime of death, please calm down, Your Highness!" The guards were also terrified, fortunately the secret guards from the East Depot arrived quickly.

“Nangong Taihe!”

Nangong Xihe knew without thinking that this was a "big gift" given to him by his good brother. He gritted his teeth in hatred, thinking that it would be rude not to reciprocate, so just wait and see!
