In addition to the reward from Emperor Wu, the winner of the hunt who comes out on top can choose another person to enter the ring. If he wins, he can make a request to Emperor Wu.
As for the person to choose, anyone can do it.
Even if it's a groom below, it's almost as if the request is made casually.
Such a prize makes people eager to win. If a certain official's son wins, it will be easy to achieve great success.
If he were a prince, he would also receive great help in ascending to the throne.
After all, this was promised by Emperor Wu himself.
While waiting for the winner of the hunt to return, Lu Feng saw the historian, Yun Luohong's father, making an eight sign towards him.
Um?
Is this reminding him that the winner is the Eighth Prince?
Lu Feng took a sip of wine silently, and reminded him specifically that he might cause trouble for him later, right?
When he came, he did nothing except fight crickets and paid some money to go in. There was no reason for this matter to fall on him.
wrong.
Lu Feng raised his eyes and looked at Yun She who was standing behind Xiao Junya. The other person was also looking at Lu Feng, but when he noticed that Lu Feng was looking over, he looked at the sky and the ground with a guilty look on his face.
Of course Yun She could clearly see the exchange between Lu Feng and the historian just now.
Thinking of the two princes who want to break the tiger of the army, if the winner is one of them, the eldest brother will definitely be named.
but!
This matter has nothing to do with me!
However, Yun She still felt guilty and moved her feet back to avoid Lu Feng's eyes.
"OK……"
Lu Feng squeezed the wine glass tightly. He had been patient from the beginning, but something happened later.
Is this to make him go to heaven?
A cold chill crept up from the soles of his feet, and Yun She seemed to be frozen on the ground, her small head quickly thinking about what to do next.
Xiao Junya didn't notice anything unusual about Yun She. Sitting in her seat, she could feel a hot gaze on her.
That was the head of the Zhou family. The Zhou family came here because they were the mother of the noble concubine.
Otherwise, no one in the Zhou family is an official and has little power, so what qualifications would he have to be present?
When the head of the Zhou family saw Yun She standing behind Prime Minister Xiao Junya, he knew that he could not take action easily and had to find a time when the other party was not around.
Go to the Hou Mansion to find Lu Qingtian?
Oh, whose blood does she think she has? !
Today, Concubine Zhou said she was ill and did not come, otherwise Xiao Junya would not be sitting here now.
Near the end of the hunt, people began to return, and the grooms at the hunting ground hurried forward to hold the horses.
Small animals were hung on the backs of horses, while larger animals were tied up with ropes and dragged away. Some of them were still alive when they were hit by arrows, and they were dragged for a while without breathing.
There were bloodstains on the sand, all from the blood of prey.
Today's biggest prey was pulled by two horses to everyone's eyes.
The black bear claws were half the size of a human head, not to mention the body. There were two arrows on the black bear's head.
One penetrated its eye, and the other stabbed directly into its skull.
In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that there is a small bloody hole on the side of the black bear's head. It was because the shooter used too much force and the entire arrow penetrated the inside of the head.
At this moment, the arrow probably still landed somewhere in the woods.
Sitting on the tall horse in the front was none other than the eighth prince, Xiao Luoshan.
Xiao Luoshan got off his horse, knelt down in front of Emperor Wu and said loudly:
"My son, I hunted a black bear and presented it to my father!"
The people behind him also said in unison:
"Specially presented to Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha, okay! Your Majesty, get up quickly, you all will be rewarded!"
Seeing this, Emperor Wu was naturally very happy and raised his hand to let them stand up.
At the same time, the eldest prince who arrived late seemed a little funny. He didn't hunt anything good this time, so he had to congratulate him while everyone else was congratulating him.
It would be against the rules to destroy the atmosphere at this time.
He didn't speak, so Emperor Wu pretended not to notice and said to Xiao Luoshan:
"Tell me, who do you want my son to be in the ring with you today?"
"If you want to compete with masters, then my father must follow the rules."
In other words, if you lose later, your request will be invalid.
Just from his words, it is not difficult to tell that he is still a little doting on the eighth prince.
"Thank you, Father!"
Xiao Luoshan raised his hand and put it down. After looking around the field, he moved slightly and turned to Lu Qingtian on the far right.
He said in a deep voice:
"I have long admired the Marquis's son Lu Feng, also known as Mr. Lu Xiaohou, and I wonder if I can have a fun battle with him!"
who?
Lu Feng?
The disciples who had just been fighting crickets with Lu Feng looked at each other. The eighth prince said he had admired him for a long time. When did he say that he had admired him for a long time? How come they don't know.
There were people talking in low voices behind, but no one was talking when Emperor Wu approached, waiting to see how Lu Qingtian would respond.
But he saw that Lu Qingtian didn't have any fluctuation at all, and said calmly:
"My son has never practiced martial arts. I think I am no match for His Highness and I will admit defeat directly. Your Highness can just make demands directly to His Majesty."
"If His Highness is unwilling, I, who has suffered countless injuries, can accompany Your Highness for a round."
Either don't fight his son, or fight him.
Lu Qingtian threw two choices in front of Xiao Luoshan.
In short, you can't fight with your son, but you can fight with me.
Xiao Luoshan just smiled, turned around to where Lu Feng was, raised his voice and said:
"What the Marquis said is the Marquis's opinion. His Highness thinks it is better for the young Marquis to answer it himself. I wonder what the young Marquis thinks?"
He didn't know Lu Feng, that's why he said this.
Being called out in public, Lu Feng had to stand up.
And when he moved like this, Xiao Luoshan's eyes came over.
Lu Feng finally understood why the second prince said that before. He was already targeting him. No matter whether Yun She caused trouble or not, he would always cause trouble for him.
Yuan Jinfeng, who was sitting next to Lu Qingtian, covered his face. If Lu Feng had been smarter, he could have just said that he didn't come.
But it's okay, he can just admit defeat, his father is Lu Qingtian anyway.
I thought Lu Feng would admit defeat directly, but Lu Feng looked at Xiao Luoshan very seriously and asked.
"Do you really want to fight me?"
He had said before that if nothing unexpected happened, the second prince would be the first to be dealt with. It would be a bit embarrassing if someone jumped in line.
Xiao Luoshan nodded sharply.
"I had a close fight with the black bear when I was hunting it, and I also suffered some injuries. I hope the young marquis will show mercy."
Even though he said that, there was no trace of a fight on his body.
This is clearly an excuse.
But Lu Feng didn't care about that. He glanced at the arena over there, glanced past the eldest prince and looked at Emperor Wu who was sitting above him, making sure that his voice was loud enough.
"Of course it's okay for the Eighth Prince to compete with me, but it's too boring to just compete to determine the winner or loser."
When he said this, his voice paused, as if he was asking the Eighth Prince, or the Martial Emperor:
"How about... a life and death game?"
