After a stick of incense, several old ministers returned with the fruits of war.

As time came, Mr. Qi rode his horse away from the hunting ground, and the other people followed.

"My grandfather is so powerful that he shot 56 hares in total. This second round should be the first."

When Mr. Qi turned over and got off the horse, Qi Yan came up and helped Mr. Qi and said.

"The results of the second round were announced. Duke Dingguo hunted 56 hares, General Huang hunted 51, and Prime Minister Wei hunted 23..."

When the results were announced, Prime Minister Wei's face was gloomy and terrible.

He could feel that the other old ministers looked at him with contempt.

"Don't have to know all that you are like those people. You are the prime minister of a country and are in a high position. Hunting is just a pastime, and the quality is not important."

It happened that Wei Xiao and Rui Wang Ye Heng were right beside him, and Wei Xiao came up and whispered.

"If that old guy Qi Sheng hadn't interfered with the other old ministers, how could I have only hunted this little hare? These old guys joined forces to deliberately embarrass me!"

Prime Minister Wei was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he was helpless.

Starting from the third round of competition, new military generals and civil officials such as Si Nanjian appeared.

Si Nanjian won the first ranking in the third round with 54. In the distance, Emperor Yan looked at Si Nanjian with interest and said softly: "Although Si Nanjian is not very old, he is also a plastic material. On him, I feel as if I have seen the young Duke Ding."

Eunuch De listened quietly on the side without saying a word. He knew that the emperor was feeling. Si Nanjian could get into the emperor's eyes, which means that Si Nanjian would embark on the road to the sky and become a building material for the country in the future!

The next competition was the battle between the fifth-rank military generals and civil officials.

These people were fighting in a mess on the hunting ground, and some even almost had conflicts.

In such a competition, Prime Minister Wei didn't even see it, so he simply stood aside and chatted with others.

Emperor Yan was quite interested. He sat on the high platform and told Eunuch De from time to time who was shooting the arrow below, which was accurate and wonderful.

After a competition, the last round of competition came.

At this time, King Rui Ye Heng looked at Wei Xiao and said, "After this round is over, we will definitely make Duke Ding and the Crown Princess lose face!"

“This is natural!”

Wei Xiao responded.

Today, Duke Ding lost face in hunting, and he would all count Qi Yan and the others on the account of the Yun family Zhurigong.

"Those who ranked first in each round before could participate in the last round of hunting competition with Emperor Yan."

The voice of the eunuch was heard.

Rui Wang Ye Heng patted Wei Xiao on the shoulder and then walked out of the crowd.

On the fifth round of hunting, Rui Wang Ye Heng won the first place.

Of course, several other officials who appeared in that round obviously intended to win by Rui Wang Ye Heng.

Subsequently, a total of ten people, including Emperor Yan, Mr. Qi, and Si Nanjian, rode a horse and were arranged in a row.

Emperor Yan stood up on his horse and said with a smile, "Duke Dingguo, don't hide your weaknesses in this game!"

"The old minister must do his best."

Mr. Qi replied.

After the signal was sent, ten people rode their horses to the hunting ground.

Except for Emperor Yan, several other people, including Old Qi, deliberately avoided Emperor Yan's direction and did not snatch prey with Emperor Yan, so as to hunt hares.

But there was only one person, and there was no sight to see him, and he actually ran to the range of Emperor Yan's hunting.

This person is the fifth-grade general who had spoken to Si Nanjian before.

This man luckily won the first place with 45 hares in the sixth round.

In order to show his strength in front of Emperor Yan, he saw that there was no one around Emperor Yan who was hunting, and thought to himself that the other people were too stupid, so he rode over to him.

It happened that Emperor Yan stared at a hare not far away, raised his bow and aimed it, and shot an arrow.

The arrow was fast and accurate, hitting the hare's abdomen.

But I didn't expect that at the same time, another arrow shot on the hare's neck.

It was done by these fifth-grade military generals.

"May I have your name?"

Emperor Yan did not care about the hare, but rode his horse to the man and asked.

"Return to the emperor, my humble minister Cheng Ying, and my father Cheng Tu."

Cheng Ying clasped his fists and said.

"It turns out that he is the son of Cheng Tu. No wonder this arrow shot so crookedly and ugly!"

Emperor Yan replied, then rode his horse away and continued to hunt.

On the contrary, Cheng Ying looked confused. His arrow just now was obviously much faster than Emperor Yan, and he deliberately shot the hare's neck. According to the principle, he should be better than Emperor Yan.

But why did Emperor Yan say so?

When he was confused, he rode his horse to Cheng Ying.

"I advise you not to be smart anymore. If you continue to show off in front of Emperor Yan, your future will be worrying."

The person who spoke was Si Nanjian.

Si Nanjian had long seen Cheng Ying's previous actions.

In the early years, Si Nanjian heard that General Cheng Tu had high self-confidence and always liked to be clever. He first offended court officials, but later even Emperor Yan offended him.

Therefore, over the years, Cheng Tu has not been favored in the court.

Two years ago, Emperor Yan did not want to let him stay in the capital again, so he made an excuse to transfer Cheng Tu away from Yanjing and guard the border.

After going to the border, Cheng Tu realized how stupid he had done before.

So he used his relationship and spent a lot of money to send his eldest son Cheng Ying to the court.

Today's hunting ground, Cheng Ying's actions must remind Emperor Yan of what Cheng Tu did in the past.

If Si Nanjian is right, once the hunt is over, Cheng Ying, the position of a fifth-rank general in the capital, will be replaced. As for Cheng Ying, he should not have the chance to appear in front of Emperor Yan again.

This little episode did not affect the hunting process.

After the final competition, Emperor Yan still won the first place. Old Qi had three fewer hares than Emperor Yan, ranking second.

When Qi Yan was a little anxious and waiting for the result.

Mr. Qi and Emperor Yan returned from riding a horse while talking and laughing.

"Dingguo Gong is still agile. I see that the bow in your hand is good. Can you give me some appreciation?"

Emperor Yan stared at the bow in Old Qi's hand and said.

Mr. Qi naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly presented the bow with both hands.

Emperor Yan held it in his hand, pulled the bow for a full moon just by trying it, and then called it a good bow.

"This bow is very wonderful. I'm afraid it's made by famous masters. It's really a magic weapon!"

Emperor Yan praised.

When Mr. Qi heard this, he quickly expressed his opinion, "If Emperor Yan likes it, this old minister Gong is willing to serve it as a gift."

"This...is not good..."

Emperor Yan was happy in his heart, but he still pretended to hesitate on his face.
