Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Emperor Shenwu made the final decision, and several nations decided on their candidates for the hunting trip. The Sixth Prince led several other princes to kneel on one knee, "My son will definitely live up to the expectations of my father, the Emperor, and my mother, the Empress!"

The Shenwu Emperor said, "The number of birds and beasts whose left ears and claws are cut off is the standard. Return here before sunset! Count them in person!"

Everyone knelt and responded: "Yes! We obey your order!"

The Sixth Prince carefully took off the flower crown from his head and said, "Mother, wait until I come back from hunting, and you can put it on me yourself!"

Lan Qingwu looked at her two sons and said, "Okay! Mother will be waiting!"

Several people turned and left, each of them mounting their own mounts, and the surrounding guards also mounted their horses.

The Sixth Prince's horse slowly moved to the outskirts of the crowd, his black cloak fluttering. The girl from the Wu family stared at the Sixth Prince intently, and felt that the touch of black floated straight into her heart.

After most of the people in the blooming sea of ​​flowers had left, Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's hand again and sat down.

The Shenwu Emperor looked at Lan Qingwu's slightly frowned expression and said soothingly, "Don't worry, weakling. Our prince is a skilled martial artist. He won't lose!"

Lan Qingwu raised the corners of her lips slightly. She didn't care whether her sons would lose or not. She was just worried whether they would get hurt. The people of the grassland were not so easy to deal with. However, being in her position, Lan Qingwu could only endure these fears.

Emperor Shenwu made a gesture at this moment, and a phantom guard jumped out from the shadows and knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu silently.

Emperor Shenwu had only one order: "Follow! Remember, absolutely ensure the safety of the princes!"

Invisible phantom guards followed the order and Lan Qingwu could only see a few lightning-fast black shadows darting out. Lan Qingwu felt a little more at ease, knowing that the Shenwu Emperor would not let his sons fall into absolute danger.

When the Seventh Princess heard this, she no longer wanted to play and returned to Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu after a while.

The seventh princess Zhou Chengyue inherited Lan Qingwu's appearance perfectly, except that her eyebrows and eyes resembled Emperor Shenwu, and she looked very majestic. With the seventh princess taking care of him, Lan Qingwu finally relaxed.

The Emperor Shenwu saw the Seventh Princess's usually sharp features soften. He seemed unfazed by his sons' presence deep within Qiling Mountain. He asked the Seventh Princess to sit between him and Lan Qingwu, and meticulously inquired about what his youngest daughter had done today and who she had been with.

Shuying led a team of elite soldiers into the inner area of ​​Qiling Mountain. After confirming that there were no outsiders, Naridelü rode his horse to the front of the team. Shuying said uneasily, "Your Majesty, I am always feeling a little nervous. You see, the emperor of Dasheng doesn't take us seriously at all. This competition..."

Who knew that Naridlu didn't respond to Shuying's words at all? His eyes shone with ambition and determination. He said slowly, "Don't you think it would be nice to let a flower as beautiful as the queen bloom on the grassland?"

After Naridelü finished speaking, he ignored Shuying's stunned expression and galloped ahead on his horse.

On the Sixth Prince's side, while the Second and Seventh Princes preferred music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, their martial arts and hunting skills weren't too bad, thanks to the Shenwu Emperor's emphasis on both civil and military skills. Furthermore, they understood that in today's situation, the Sixth Prince was paramount. They were merely a smokescreen for the grassland tribes; the Sixth Prince was the key to their victory. The Shenwu Emperor publicly dispatched Wei Yanting to accompany the Sixth Prince and his companions, while secretly, the Phantom Guards were quietly protecting the safety of the princes.

If there is any special situation, the Phantom Guards will protect the safety of Prince Dasheng even at the cost of exposing themselves.

The hunting competition entered a white-hot stage, and the elite soldiers and generals of various countries used all kinds of means. For a time, all kinds of beasts that smelled danger in the depths of Qiling Mountain fled everywhere in panic.

The Sixth Prince led several of his brothers deeper into Qiling Mountain. They hunted quite a lot. If they encountered a large animal, they would cut off its left ear; if they encountered a bird, they would cut off its left claw. The remaining carcasses of the animals were then cleaned up by the guards who followed them.

Finally, the envoys from several countries and the Sixth Prince and his men met on a narrow road in front of a steep cliff. There was a nest of a ferocious eagle on the cliff. When the several teams gathered here, the eagle was startled and flew away.

The eagle was no longer able to care about anything else. Several generals from the Xisha Kingdom also had tears in their eyes. One of them shouted, "Shoot! If you are slow, they will fly out of range!"

Naridlu made a quick decision, drew his bow and aimed at an eagle, and the arrow flew out in an instant!

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard cheers and admiration from not far away.

Naridlu turned his head and saw a figure flying up gracefully, his dark golden cloak fluttering in the wind. With the help of a light step on his horse, the Sixth Prince had already taken off and flew straight up half of the cliff. The bow in his hand was already on the string, and in full view of everyone, several arrows were shot out. In an instant, several eagles fell from the sky with screams.

The seventh prince cheered loudly with excitement. The third prince was just hunting to make up the numbers. At this moment, he was shocked. If he was not mistaken, the sixth prince had nocked five arrows with one bow, and every arrow hit the target. When he was puzzled, he saw the sixth prince twisting his body in mid-air. The sixth prince's movements were so fast that people could not see how he nocked the arrows. They only saw five more arrows shot out, and then five more eagles fell from the sky. Guards on the ground immediately went to look for the eagles that were shot by arrows.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the Sixth Prince slowly descended from mid-air and sat right on his horse.

Naridlu's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he couldn't help but think of the rumor about how the young Emperor Shenwu was so brave and heroic that he wiped out all the grassland tribes.

Shuying also fell silent. As for the six nations of Xisha, most of them admired and cheered for the prince of Dasheng, just like the soldiers of Dasheng.

The Sixth Prince rode his horse and looked around. When he saw Nariderlu, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Altai, the envoy of the six Paracel Islands, could not help but exclaim, "I've long heard from our Shayue King that when he was still a prince, he paid tribute to the Emperor of Dasheng and witnessed him hunt a tiger with his own eyes. He was deeply impressed! And today, Altai saw the Prince of Dasheng hunt ten eagles with two arrows. His trip was well worth it!"

Deputy Envoy Gertu was concerned about something else. "Then why do we even need to compete? The time is almost up, and the sun has turned red! Is there any way we can win? At the very least, we can't lose too badly, and we can't lose last!"

He was thinking about the reward from His Majesty Dasheng!

When Shuying heard this, his heart moved. He and Nariderlu looked at each other tacitly, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

The hunting competition only considers the number of hunts by each country, and does not mention the number of hunts by one's own side. At this time, they suddenly attacked and snatched the bag containing the left ear and left claw, and by the way suppressed the momentum of the Dasheng Dynasty. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone!

Deep in Qiling Mountain, a war was about to break out. Nariderlu hadn't anticipated that the Sixth Prince would snatch the bag away first. It turned out the Sixth Prince had already prepared his plans. As he dismounted his horse and surveyed the surroundings, he gestured with his command. Nariderlu and his men were caught off guard and immediately fell into a passive position. The bag was also snatched away.

However, the chief and deputy envoys of the six Paracel Islands countries stood aside and watched the scene with wide eyes. They did not react for a while and only ordered their people not to act rashly.
