Qiao Mo kept walking in the northwest direction. Xie Yu'an and Jiang Huailu staggered some distance and followed him slowly.
Jiang Huailu shot a few arrows on the road and caught some beautiful birds, but Xie Yu'an didn't shoot any.
"Ayu, don't you pack something today?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "I want to fight, but I haven't seen it yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small white shadow passed directly in front of his eyes. Xie Yu'an smiled softly: "Here he comes." A Yin asked for the mink scarf.
Xie Yu'an had already set up a bow and arrow in his hand. He pulled the bow string with two fingers. The veins on the back of his hand were slightly exposed due to the exertion. He aimed at the snow in the distance with concentration.
At the same time, Lu Jinzhi and the third prince came from the other side, and the first person Jiang Huaiyan discovered was Jiang Huailu.
"Why is the prince here too?" Jiang Huaiyan was alert.
Lu Jinzhi suddenly saw Xie Yu'an who was setting up his bow. He followed the direction he was aiming and saw a plump ferret.
Things that I never cared about before, suddenly I remembered them all. He remembered that one autumn hunting trip, Qiao Yin told him that the winter was too cold and he wanted a mink scarf.
So, she also told Xie Yuan this?
Lu Jinzhi's heart felt as if he had been soaked in a jar of vinegar, feeling sour and unwilling.
Without thinking, he set up his bow and arrow and pointed it in the direction of the ferret.
Jiang Huaiyan frowned and reminded: "Jin Zhi, important things come first."
The moment Lu Jinzhi put on the bow, his whole body suddenly became sharp. He smiled disdainfully, "It's okay, I'll kill it with one arrow."
Lu Jinzhi was determined to win, so he tightened his bow string and let go of his fingers.
"Ding--"
The two arrows collided together, making a sharp golden sound.
The ferret was unharmed and panicked as it scurried into the bushes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xie Yuan raised his head displeasedly and looked at Lu Jinzhi opposite him coldly.
Not to be outdone, Lu Jinzhi caught Xie Yuan's gaze and ran away, which was better than being beaten by Xie Yuan anyway.
Before Lu Jinzhi could be proud, suddenly a roar of a beast came from deep in the jungle, and Lu Jinzhi's expression changed.
Jiang Huailv said: "What is this sound? It sounds like a bear's roar!"
Xie Yu'an looked towards the direction where the sound came from, which was the northwest corner. He turned to look at Lu Jinzhi and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that the top spot this year is none other than Brother Qiao."
As soon as Xie Yuan finished speaking, Lu Jinzhi and Jiang Huaiyan on the opposite side had already rushed over with others.
"Ouch——"
Another bear's roar came from the depths of the jungle, and there was an obvious sadness in this roar.
Lu Jinzhi and Jiang Huaiyan rode their horses to the northwest corner and saw a strong black bear falling to the ground with an arrow in each eye.
Qiao Mo held the bow and cursed: "Where can there be a rabbit nest? I didn't even see a single rabbit hair, but I encountered a black bear and it scared me!"
Jiang Huaiyan glanced at Lu Jinzhi gloomily, and Lu Jinzhi's face looked as ugly as if he were mourning for his heir.
The black bear's roar shook the entire paddock and reached the stands.
Everyone was startled, and the emperor hurriedly called the guards to ask: "What is this? Go and check quickly."
The people who entered the forest were all high-ranking disciples of the capital, and there was no room for any mistakes.
"It sounds like a black bear. How could a black bear appear in the forest?" the experienced military commander replied.
Concubine Lu on the side exclaimed: "Your Majesty, I remember that when the late emperor was still here, your Majesty hunted a black bear here, right?"
A minister also remembered this incident and quickly echoed: "If I remember correctly, it should be thirty years ago that your Majesty went hunting with the late emperor for the first time, and he hunted a black bear, which shocked everyone."
The emperor seemed to recall his bravery back then, his face was radiant and his eyes were stern, "Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Concubine Lu quickly said: "I wonder who will hunt this beast today. The emperor will reward him well later."
The emperor was very interested and responded: "If someone really hunts a black bear, he must be a rare warrior, and I will naturally reward him well."
Qiao Yin secretly glanced at Concubine Lu's contented expression, and then thought of what Yan Ruyu said, and a guess emerged in her mind.
Could it be that the Lu family placed the black bear there specially?
After all, Xie Yuan came out on top every year, and Lu Jinzhi could only rely on cheating if he wanted to 'win steadily'.
If you do something small under the emperor's nose, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know about it?
The Lu family is too bold!
Qiao Yin was cursing when suddenly a guard came running over from the woods.
"Your Majesty, a black bear was found in the northwest corner of the forest and has been killed."
The emperor was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Which warrior won the first place?"
The guard loudly replied: "It's Qiao Mo, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jing'an!"
Concubine Lu was shocked and stood up from her chair: "Who is it?"
The guard answered again, this time more carefully: "Master Qiao is very good at archery. His arrows were all missed. Two arrows penetrated the black bear's eyes and passed through the brain. One man killed the black bear."
Concubine Lu's eyes turned black. What's going on? What is Lu Jinzhi doing!
How could the apparently foolproof plan become someone else's wedding dress, and it happened to be the Qiao family? Isn't this just a rush to help the princelings!
While talking, there was a big noise from the forest, and a black bear was dragged out by a group of guards.
The black bear is huge, like a hill, and extremely shocking.
Then, a group of people on horseback cheered and rushed toward the high platform, surrounding Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo took the lead, riding on the horse, his clothes flying, his indescribable spirit and grace attracted all the attention on the high platform.
"Miss, the eldest young master has finally succeeded in becoming a villain!" Bizhu cheered.
Well... although the idiom is wrong, the emotion expressed is fine.
Qiao Yin now also wants to cheer for her elder brother, and she is extremely happy in her heart:
Fortunately, she listened to Xue Wanran and tidied up her eldest brother, otherwise the scenery would be greatly compromised!
Not long after, Black Bear, Qiao Mo and others came to the emperor. Prince Jiang Huailu asked for Qiao Mo: "Father, Qiao Mo of the Marquis of Jing'an killed a Black Bear, and he is the one to be headhunted today."
The emperor was very happy and full of praise: "Well, well, a tiger father has no dog son. Qiao Mo has a fatherly demeanor and is a rare talent in our court. If there is a reward, I will definitely reward you."
The prince suggested: "Father, Mr. Qiao is now in his mid-twenties and has not yet married. Why don't you give Mr. Qiao a good relationship?"
As soon as the prince finished speaking, Qiao Mo bowed and refused: "Your Majesty, I have not established a career and have no achievements, but I have been given a good relationship. I am afraid of letting others down. I am really ashamed. I still have brute strength, and I am willing to be like him." He is as loyal to the army as his father and serves the country."
The emperor was even more delighted after hearing this and praised: "You are so ambitious! You are really a good son of my Zhou Dynasty, and you must not be buried!"
The emperor thought for a while and waved his hand: "The fifth army camp has been replaced, and there is still a lack of a deputy general. Qiao Mo, are you confident that you can do a good job?"
"able!"
After being promoted to the third level, Qiao Mo grinned, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, and answered with a loud voice!
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Concubine Lu on the high platform gritted her teeth so hard that her nails were digging into the armrests of the chair.
The Fifth Military Camp is the focus of their struggle with the princelings.
This position was originally prepared for Lu Jinzhi.
