In the jungle, Prince Li Xian was driving his horse slowly through the forest. There were soldiers guarding him in front, back and sides. At the same time, they also had the responsibility of looking for prey.
Whenever he drove out prey, Li Xian would draw his bow and shoot at it. At the end of the day, he collected a lot of prey, such as pheasants and hares.
Suddenly, news came from the guards at the front that they found a herd of deer gathering in the forest. So Li Xian got off his horse and took some of the guards to the gathering place of the deer. He was only 350 steps away from the deer herd. At that moment, Li Xian suddenly bent his bow and fired an arrow.
"Whoosh!" The cold stars came to the deer group in a flash, and blood splashed.
A horned deer at the back screamed miserably, and a powerful arrow pierced its neck instantly, nailing it to the ground. The guards behind him also shot two to death as their food for the night, and Li Xian naturally wanted to get the prey he had obtained. When it comes to judging from outside, of course, the dignified prince will not let his guards cheat.
Night gradually fell, and the group of people had already set up camp. One team was on guard, and the other team was handling and roasting the prey.
In the camp tent, Li Xian was sitting cross-legged on the mat, looking slightly dazed. He was thinking about what happened during the day. Not long ago, his father ordered them to study behind closed doors. He originally thought it was a small punishment but a big warning to them.
But seeing his father's appearance today, he felt a little numb. Now, he no longer wants to do what he asked for. He just wants to live a few more years and survive for his father.
Now it seems that he is still a little naive. His father's situation is like an old tree sprouting and a dead tree blooming, as if it is rejuvenated. The high-spiritedness on his body is something Li Xian had only seen twenty years ago.
It’s just that I’m not willing to give in!
He was made a prince when he was born. When he was a child, he grew up hearing about his father's great achievements, so he respected him very much. However, as he grew older, this respect turned into jealousy. He was too lively. Got it!
You are seventy-five years old, why aren’t you dead yet?
After Li Xian came of age, he intended to secretly develop his power in the court, because in his opinion, once that person controlled Long Bintian, the world would belong to him sooner or later. However, within a few years, he attracted the attention of that person. Due to fear and suspicion, his confidants were either demoted or killed, and many years of hard work were wasted in one fell swoop.
Since then, he has stayed away from the court. It was also at that time that the second brother gradually gained momentum and was supported by his father to fight with him in the court. However, it was also because of the existence of the second brother that he would not become decadent.
Therefore, he began to hide his talents and bide his time, accumulate strength, study behind closed doors, and look forward to the day when the old guy dies of illness. However, after so many years, he was eager to see through it. Ascending to the throne has become his deepest obsession, and he almost went crazy because of it. If not...
Unconsciously, his eyes became colder and sterner, his fists were clenched, his nails were clenched into his palms, and blood was flowing.
In the end what happened? Why did such a big change happen to my father?
After a long time, he calmed down and began to think about the key points. After so many years, he had endured it, and there was no need to rush. He first understood the key points before prescribing the right medicine.
Could it be him?
Suddenly, he suddenly recalled the monk next to his father today. He was the new national preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had even given gifts to this casual cultivator in an attempt to win over him, but he did not expect that at the selection meeting, he would rise to the top and become the Great Zhou Dynasty. The national teacher.
In order to avoid his father's suspicion, he did not continue to have contact with him until today.
But although the monk looked young and looked like an old man, Li Xian did not see any sinister and flattering atmosphere in him. Moreover, since this man became a national master, he had rarely appeared in public, and was very brief. It's not like he's a lazy person.
Since ancient times, it is known to everyone that those who are blessed by luck cannot live forever. Even if the monk became a national master, he would not dare to extend his life for his father. No one could bear the backlash of fate. He knew exactly how many national masters had died in Dazhou back then.
It was precisely because of this that he chose to wait, but now, he couldn't afford to wait.
Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety in his heart. He must find a way to break the situation as soon as possible, otherwise, he might really be tortured to death by his father, even if he...
······
In another camp, Qi King Li Nian was also looking at the stars in the sky and could not sleep peacefully. Today, his father's performance really surprised him.
In the past, he was lucky that his father lived for a long time. Once his eldest brother died, he would naturally succeed him as the crown prince. Therefore, he had always been very concerned about his father's health. If his father was unwell, he would help him. I want to go to pay my respects. On the one hand, I want to show my filial piety. Look, dad, I am already so filial. You are too embarrassed to send me to join the feudal clan.
On the other hand, it is to deal with the physical condition of the father so that he can deal with it. If he burps in advance, he can clean up and prepare for the Xuanwu Gate incident, right?
But now, his psychology is extremely tangled. He is worried that his father will not live long enough and will die before he can become the prince. He is also worried that his father will live too long and kill his eldest brother. If he does the same, I'm so exhausted, what should I do?
Oh, it’s so difficult.
That night, many people stayed awake all night and were worried.
······
Under the moonlight, Su Ming walked forward slowly. Everything he passed was peaceful. Whether it was wild wolves hunting at night, tigers, leopards or other fierce beasts, no one would have the slightest intention to kill when they saw his figure. All prey that reached the mouth were put down and quietly retreated.
With a gentle wave of his hand, he brought a large, white-fronted insect in front of him. The tiger, which had been grinning with a fierce look just now, was like a docile wild cat in front of him, without any hint of evil intent.
"Ouch!"
Su Ming looked at the tiger lying in front of him, stretched out his palm, pressed it on its forehead, activated the Soul Searching Technique, and suddenly a shrill wail sounded.
"Bang!" The huge tiger body fell to the ground, breathless.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the spiritual energy here has exhausted so much. Even if I go to the mountain, I still can't feel the slightest spiritual energy. The beasts here are also mentally immature. Where are those monsters hiding?"
He has been running in this mountain all day. He has walked most of the mountain range and searched the memories of many beasts. He has not found any trace of monsters.
The imperial servants would never lie. There must be monsters sealed here. Otherwise, why would they seal the Royal Forest Garden, prohibit outsiders from entering and exiting, and turn this place into a forbidden place for spirits?
If you keep looking, you will always find it. As a national master, he can't return empty-handed. Besides, it doesn't look right to let him catch those beasts like the nobles of the court. After all, he is also a national master, and it is his first time to take action. , you have to leave a deep impression on people.
Others can hunt a bunch of prey, but it is not as good as him catching a monster beast. Moreover, since this place is a forbidden place, it is by no means as simple as he imagined. There must be other secrets hidden in it.
After looking around for a while, he didn't see anything. Su Ming swayed, turned into a escaping light, and flew towards the other side of the mountain range. Anyway, there were still two days left. If he couldn't find it again tomorrow, it should be hidden underground or somewhere else. Somewhere else.
