After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

However, at the moment of despair, an extremely sharp gust of wind accompanied by the sharp sound of metal cutting the air suddenly sounded, and then the huge black bear fell to the ground with a bang, causing dust to fly in the snow.

Song Yanchen was stunned, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

A feathered arrow pierced the bear's eye socket with unerring precision and lodged deep into its head, ending the life of the ferocious creature.

He then vaguely realized that he had escaped a disaster, and he staggered using his hands and feet to move away from the monster, fearing that it was only temporarily unconscious and might attack again at any time.

"Sixth Prince, did that beast hurt you?" Just as Song Yanchen was still in shock, Wen Yinyang's voice as gentle as jade brushed past his ears, making him feel as if he was in another world, and gradually woke up.

"If Master Wen hadn't rescued me in time, I would have been eaten by that beast."

Song Yanchen spoke with gratitude, his voice heavy and sincere.

"How can I, Song Yanchen, repay Master Wen for saving my life?" There was determination in his eyes.

Wen Yinyang smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand and gently helped Song Yanchen up, while carefully brushing off the snow and dirt on his clothes.

"Your Highness, just give me a chance for three years, and I will live up to your highness's expectations."

There was confidence in his tone.

Hearing this, Song Yanchen narrowed his eyes slightly and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I have high expectations for Master Wen's abilities."

I feel more reliance on this partner who is both civil and military.

At this time, Cui Rong, who was hiding in the dark, witnessed all this and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

From Song Yanchen's harsh rebuke of the guards to his approving attitude towards Wen Yinyang.

She was keenly aware that her layout had begun to show results.

Just as she turned her horse around and prepared to leave quietly to carry out her next plan, she unexpectedly ran into Song Yanyi who was looking for the deer.

Song Yanyi had a gentle smile on his face, as if this unexpected encounter was all a clever arrangement of fate.

In fact, Song Yanyi has been secretly tracking Cui Rongrong and is suspicious of her motives for frequently appearing around Song Yanchen.

At this moment, he held the reins tightly, his heart in turmoil, trying to decipher the real purpose behind Cui Rongrong.

He looked at the woman in front of him calmly, but found that she looked cold and indifferent, which made him even more anxious.

After some consideration, he pretended to speak casually: "I seem to have heard the voice of the sixth brother just now. I wonder if Miss Rong Rong met him?"

Cui Rong still maintained that inaccessible indifference, and she had already made up her mind - Song Yanyi's appearance was no accident.

She answered frankly, "The Sixth Prince was indeed not far away. I saw the bear attacking the Prince and was about to go to help him, but unexpectedly, Master Wen had already stepped forward to rescue him."

"The Sixth Prince is safe and sound, Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much."

There was a hint of distance in her tone, and she obviously didn't want to talk about it any further.

Upon hearing this, Song Yanyi frowned slightly, feeling mixed emotions.

It was originally envisioned that if there was no help from outsiders, Song Yanchen's safety might remove a major obstacle for him. Now it seems that this move will require more thought.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality, pretending to be relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best. I didn't expect that there would be wild beasts in this season. It is indeed extremely dangerous. Why don't I travel with Miss Rong, so that if we encounter wild beasts again, we can take care of each other."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but there is no need to trouble you."

Cui Rongrong refused almost reflexively, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, "After all, Your Highness and I are currently in a competitive relationship, and it seems inappropriate for us to act together."

I have not hunted anything that really suits my taste in this vast forest yet, so it seems inappropriate to chat with the distinguished Crown Prince at this moment. I hope that His Royal Highness can understand my situation and allow me to focus on the pursuit and harvest in this winter while the hunting is not finished.

As she finished speaking, she bowed to Song Yanyi, although the action was a little hasty.

Then she pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse seemed to sense its master's determination, and let out a long neigh, then, at her spur, raised its hooves and galloped away.

It instantly disappeared on the winding forest path ahead, leaving only a series of rapid and firm horse hoof sounds echoing in the air.

Song Yanyi stared at the gradually blurred figure for a long time, and a barely perceptible complex emotion emerged in the depths of his eyes.

The winter hunt was drawing to a close, and the sun began to shine, painting every inch of the forest with a golden border.

In this soft yet cool light, everyone rode their horses back to the warm camp.

Among this group of people who were eager to return home, Cui Rong met her brother Cui Min, holding the fruits of today's hunting.

They were counting their respective prey amidst noise and laughter, and Cui Rongrong's eyes lingered on the many trophies. Finally, her fingers gently fell on a little white fox with snow-white fur and lively eyes.

She slowly bent down, gently picked up the young life from the ground, and walked slowly towards Cui Yunhe, her eyes full of tenderness.

Cui Rongrong carefully placed the little white fox in Cui Yunhe's arms, with a smile on her face.

Seeing the white fox rubbing Cui Yunhe's hand affectionately with its wet nose, as if expressing its dependence and joy, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Looking at this situation, it seems that there is an indissoluble bond between you two. The little white fox seems to have recognized you as its new friend."

Cui Yunhe was filled with joy, her fingertips gently stroked the soft fur of the white fox.

A smile spread across his face and he said to his sister gratefully, "Thank you, sister! This is the best gift ever!"

Before she finished speaking, she added confidently: "Look at what my sister and father have harvested today, I'm sure we can become today's hunting star!"

Cui Rong just smiled when she heard that. Who will be the real winner is still unknown, and this suspense makes people excited.

As time goes by, the sunset glow in the sky gradually dies out like a burning flame.

The sound of the winter hunting gong resounded through the sky in the quiet twilight, announcing the end of the day.

The eunuchs were busy counting all the prey, and the recorded numbers were carefully recorded in a book, which was then respectfully presented to the emperor.

The emperor's gaze wandered between the pages, and the light in his eyes flickered.

After he finished reading, the booklet was slowly returned to the eunuch.

The eunuch held the decisive booklet solemnly in both hands, turned around and faced everyone's gaze, and announced the final hunting results loudly: "The Sixth Prince hunted fifty-six prey, the Crown Prince ranked second with fifty-five, and General Cui followed closely with forty prey..."

Song Yanchen, who was standing not far away, heard the news and a smug smile appeared on his lips. His eyes involuntarily slid to Song Yanyi, catching the other's slightly pursed lips, and a secret sense of relief surged in his heart.
