Chapter 34: Gladiolus Hunting Ground
Arthur had imagined the Royal Hunting Ground, but he didn't expect it would be a whole mountain.
Gladiola Mountain is located one hundred miles north of Alantis City. It took nearly a day to walk from the imperial capital to the hunting ground.
At dusk, Gladiola Mountain is majestic, with steep peaks and dense forests on the mountain.
"To be precise, this Gladiola Mountain, the three small peaks around it, and the land within ten miles of the foot of the mountain are all 500 square kilometers, all belong to the imperial family's private hunting grounds, but the large prey all live in Gladiola Mountain." Looking at Arthur's shocked look, Qiong added from the side.
"It turns out that the Emperor's family is no better than the Emperor's family!" Arthur sighed.
"People only see the glory of the imperial family, and how many people can see the suffering of the imperial family!" Qiong sighed from the side.
"I'm not afraid of hardship, let me change it with you!" A young man with a round head and a playful smile on his face came over.
This person was one of the two partners who beat up Yegis with Joan that day. Joan called him McKin. McKin's family did a lot of shameful business. Jean made Arthur's things through him. He was influenced by the family environment since he was a child and hanged with Joan. McKin was also a lawless guy.
The reason why Joan brought McGinn with him was that every prince who participated in the spring hunt could form a hunting team of ten people. In order to ensure fairness, the members of the hunting team, except for the prince himself, could not exceed the battle school. McGinn happened to be a level 4 warrior. Although his combat power level was not high, this guy had a set of hunting. He brought the two hunting dogs and a golden-eyed goshawk in the team this time.
While the few people were chatting, a palace had already appeared in front of them, and the area of the palace was several times larger than that of Qiong's palace.
"I thought I was going to camp out tonight?" Arthur murmured in a low voice.
"This royal palace has been built for more than two hundred years. Hunting officially begins tomorrow morning. Everyone should try not to move around after moving in tonight. Many of my brothers should have brought people in. Some of them have a weird temper and it is difficult to deal with conflicts." Qiong told everyone.
"Don't worry, it won't make it difficult for you to do." McKin said carelessly.
"I am the one who is most worried about it!" Joan glared at McGinn and continued: "In addition, everyone should try not to talk about things. All the guards and maids in it are not trustworthy. Anything they talk about may be collected by others as intelligence."
At this moment, Arthur understood what Joan said about the invisible prison, and had to be careful all the time in the royal family.
......
The rising sun is rising and the spring breeze is swaying. It is a good day for eagles to hang out and dogs to gallop and hunt.
A simple high platform with a pergola was set up at the foot of Gladiola Mountain, and teams of imperial guards patrolled back and forth on the outside of the hunting ground.
Hunting teams with different costumes rode horses and carried dogs and eagles to gather under the high platform. In a short while, three or four hundred people gathered under the high platform.
The greetings and greetings between the princes, emperors and nobles who are familiar with each other are a happy royal family gathering scene.
The hunting team members brought by these princes and daughters all looked serious and stood there without saying a word. The atmosphere they brought was the truest side of this spring hunt.
After leading the team to the high platform, Qiong took a long walk, saluted and greeted each other, and then returned to the middle of Arthur and others.
"Why are so many people participating in the hunt?" Arthur asked in a low voice beside Joan.
"Many people come to see the hunt, and there are only seventeen or eighteen teams that actually form teams to participate." Qiong explained softly.
"You have so many brothers and sisters?" Arthur was slightly surprised.
"The emperor is one queen and six concubines, and only the palace recognizes the imperial bloodline of the imperial family. The rest are considered to be illegitimate children and no prince treatment. There are 21 children of the imperial family registered in the imperial family, three of whom died prematurely and have twelve adult children. Nine teams participated in the spring hunt this time."
"Why is it that team nine? Shouldn't it be team twelve?"
Before the hunting officially began, Qiong patiently calculated Arthur with his fingers, "I'm ranked 11. There is a fourth sister in front of me. My starling died young, my third sister, my sixth sister has already married far away and will not participate in the competition. There are still the Great Highness, the Second Highness, the Fifth Highness, the Seventh Highness, the Ninth Highness, the Tenth Highness, and the Twelve Princesses, and the Thirteenth Highness, and the Fourteenth Highness below me."
"You're missing a team, right?"
"Look over there, Lao Thirteen and Fourteen are twins. They are only a man this year, so they formed a team." Following the direction of Qiong's finger, two young men in purple with slightly tender faces were standing side by side, and they looked exactly the same.
"The remaining teams are royal relatives, such as princes, queens, and outstanding descendants of the imperial concubine's family are often invited to participate in the royal spring hunt, reflecting the royal family."
"This bastard Yegis was involved because of this relationship, right?" McGin said suddenly with a gloomy face.
Following McGinn's gaze, Joan and Arthur found Yegis in the crowd, and at this moment he was staring at this side with hatred without any concealment.
"It seems that the injuries on his body healed very quickly!" Arthur chuckled.
"If you have money, ask the great magician to take action personally. What kind of injury cannot be cured?" Qiong said softly.
"Look for an opportunity to deal with him, and this time I leave him with some signs that even a great magician cannot cure it." McGin said with a smirk.
"Everyone should be careful this time. Even if we don't look for him, he will take the initiative to cause trouble. Do you see the people he brings with you? They are all innocent faces, and they must be masters invited by a lot of money." Qiongwei said with a frown.
"Who is making our Qiong unhappy? Tell my sister, I'll deal with him for you!" As the crisp sound sounded in my ears, a pretty girl with short golden hair jumped to Qiong.
Before Joan could speak, McGinn took a step forward with a thick face, "Sister Ten Princess is getting more and more beautiful as she grows. I wonder if the Emperor has chosen the princess for the princess? If the princess has not yet been decided, how about I think about me?"
The Tenth Princess glared at McKin, "Get out! Who is your sister? It disappears in front of my eyes immediately, otherwise I will easily be unable to distinguish between people and prey when hunting."
"As for the order." McGinn immediately got into the crowd and hid behind the tall Lugang, and it really disappeared in front of the Ten Princess.
Jonton felt a little overwhelmed. The ten princess in front of her was only two days older than her, but she always acted like a big sister in front of her, and her temper was worse than Grie. She just dealt with McGinn once or twice.
After driving away McGin, the Ten Princess said with some complaints: "You are a heartless person. You have been leaving for five years. After returning to Beijing, you don't know how to go see your sister? I've taken you to play in the palace since you were naked?"
Qiong was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer, while Arthur and Gree beside him tried to resist laughing.
The Ten Princess was still saying to herself: "I heard that you beat up that boy Yegis a few days ago?"
"Well, isn't he there?" Joan whined slightly to the location where Yegis was.
The Tenth Princess turned her head and met Yegis's eyes looking at this side.
