Finally the day of the hunt arrived.
Yan Qi summoned civil servants and generals to go to Qingmu Hunting Ground together.
Especially Dika and Di Pei, standing on the left and right sides of Yan Qi, look like two great protectors.
That relationship, at first glance, is very strong with Yan Qi.
This feeling made Nine Kings very unhappy.
The Nine Kings had something in their minds and really didn’t want Dika and Dipei to participate in the hunting.
Especially when I saw Di Pei, I wanted to cut him into pieces.
More importantly, maybe Di Pei will ruin his plan.
However, the Nine Kings were unable to stop Dika and Dipei.
Along the way, Nine Kings racked their brains, this was so uncomfortable.
The army set off in great force.
Aoki hunting ground is right in front of you.
Yan Qi looked at it and felt more confident.
This is clearly an enlarged version of the sand table drawn by Xia Dongcao.
The landforms of Sichuan and mountains are proportionally similar.
Yan Qi waved his hand: "My lords, let's go in and hunt. Whoever kills more prey will be rewarded heavily."
Everyone cheered happily.
The eyes of the Nine Kings turned sharply: "Master Yan, this is the outskirts of the mountains. All our civil and military ministers have entered the Qingmu Hunting Ground with no one on guard. It is really dangerous. If someone from the Annan Kingdom does something bad, wouldn't it be particularly passive?"
Yan Qi nodded: "That makes sense, what next?"
The Nine Kings took the opportunity and said: "I suggest that brothers Dika and Dipei lead the iron guards to guard the entrance. Brothers Dika and Dipei are brave and invincible, and they will definitely ensure the safety of Master Yan."
Dika and Dipe were unhappy.
Do you think we two brothers are the security guards guarding the door?
The two brothers were not angry yet, but Yan Qi was furious: "Nine kings, what do you mean? Dika is the Miao king I nominated, with a distinguished status, and Di Pei is also a young talent that I particularly value. How can you be so young?" Look down on them?"
The Nine Kings were anxious: "I... How could I underestimate them? I meant well. After all, their martial arts are superb."
Yan Qiyi glared: "The Nine Kings are also people with outstanding martial arts! I think so, how about you guard the entrance?"
Jiu Wang quickly shook his head: "I won't do it."
Yan Qidao: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You are not willing to guard the entrance. Why should you let the two Dika brothers guard the forest? Is Dika's status lower than yours?"
"this……"
The Nine Kings were speechless after being refuted by Yan Qi.
Yan Qi became even more excited: "Nine Kings, let me tell you frankly, I value the two Dika brothers very much. They want to follow me and hunt with me, so you should stop playing those tricks. Okay, This king has entered the mountain, you yourself will send people to guard the entrance."
"this……"
The Nine Kings looked at Yan Qi's retreating back, dumbfounded with anger.
"Hmph, you piece of shit." Di Pei gave Jiu Wang his middle finger.
With Yan Qi's support, he is very arrogant.
Dika stared at the Nine Kings sinisterly: "You want to embarrass me? Nine Kings, please take care of yourself. Don't think that I am easy to mess with."
Brothers Dika and Dipe rode away.
The Nine Kings felt very angry.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to stop Dika and Di Pei and let them guard the mountain forest to avoid being used by Yan Qi and causing trouble.
This is great, the two brothers followed Yan Qi like followers.
Duan Lie came over and asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?"
The Nine Kings gritted their teeth with hatred: "What else can we do? Proceed as planned. In short, Yan Qi is dead."
Duan Lie nodded and stared back at Di Pei's back with fierce eyes.
Jiu Wang warned Duan Lie: "Do you know why Yan Qi insists on taking Di Pei with him?"
Duan Lie asked: "Why?"
The Nine Kings said: "Di Pei killed your father. Of course you want to kill Di Pei. Yan Qi deliberately took Di Pei with him. Don't you understand his good intentions?"
Duan Lie slowly loosened his grip on the handle of the knife and let out a long breath: "I know the importance of it! Prince Jiu, don't worry, I won't ruin this big thing."
"very good."
The Nine Kings nodded happily: "Only when you understand the overall situation and understand the general situation can you have a great future. Let's go, let's lead Yan Qi to a dead end."
…
The Aoki hunting ground is overgrown with weeds and the terrain is complex.
After Yan Qi took a look at Xia Dongcao's sand table, he verified it with Qingmu Hunting Ground one by one. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong. The terrain and steep dangers were all within Yan Qi's expectations.
Yan Qi and others did not go deep and only shot some wild boars and roe deer, but no wolves, insects, tigers or leopards.
The Nine Kings took the opportunity and said: "Master Yan, hunting like this seems boring, haha, there are no wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, so why add to the fun."
Yan Qi nodded with a smile: "What Nine Kings said is absolutely right. Without wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, it really ruins the scenery. There is no place for heroes to use their talents. I am unhappy, very unhappy! Nine Kings, it was you who invited me to come to Qingmu Hunting Ground to hunt. You have to think of a way."
What the Nine Kings were waiting for was what Yan Qi said: "Don't worry, Master Yan. I have already prepared it. How can I make Master Yan return disappointed?"
"oh?"
Yan Qi pretended to be interested: "Let's talk and listen."
The Nine Kings pointed to the northeast: "In the northeast, there are tigers and leopards, and jackals and wolves are entrenched. I just don't know if Master Yan dares to go there."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "What is there that you don't dare to go to? Isn't the reason for coming to Qingmu Hunting Ground just for hunting?"
Yan Qi knew in his heart that there was an ambush in the northeast.
The deep pits, traps and hollow trees marked on Xia Dongcao's sand table are all lurking in this direction.
However, he knows his enemy and himself and is not afraid at all.
When the Nine Kings saw that Yan Qi was unprepared, they were overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Master Yan is indeed a warrior who has been through life and death, and he is not afraid at all. But think about it, Master Yan has never seen any big scenes, just a few wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, How can you catch the eye of Master Yan? Come on, Master Yan, I will accompany you to hunt, and we will compete to see whose archery skills are better."
Yan Qi asked: "Just the two of us going?"
The Nine Kings said: "Yes, how can Master Yan's wisdom and prowess be shown when there are so many people?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "That's not interesting! Let's play for a while. Di Pei, where is Di Pei?"
Di Pei stepped out: "Master Yan, just give your orders."
Yan Qidao: "We might as well compete to see who has killed more wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. Haha, Di Pei, just show your true skills. As long as you win against me, I will make you the Great General of Huwei."
"General Huwei? Sir Xie Yan, Sir Xie Yan." Di Pei was ecstatic when he heard this.
All the officials were shocked.
"General Huwei is a third-grade general, with a very high status."
"Yan Qi values Di Pei too much. If he kills a few tigers and leopards, he can be named a third-grade general. This shows how much Master Yan loves Di Pei."
"This is enough to show that Master Yan thinks so highly of Di Pei because of Dika. With Di Pei, Dika is the icing on the cake."
Dika was also very happy.
Yan Qi's strong support for Di Pei was a disguised support for his rise to power.
When the Nine Kings heard this, they became anxious: "Di Pei, you can't go."
