Chapter 194: Chapter 194, Hunt and Assassination

The autumn wind was cold, and the grass and trees were frosty. He Chuan was lying on the bed, and Cai Lian was kneeling beside him, her small hands helping him rub his back. He occasionally enjoyed it a little because he was also a normal person.

“Master! Sister Lian’er!” Lia was dressed in green, looking graceful and graceful. A long sword hung from his waist, a quiver hung from his shoulder, and he held a small, exquisite bow and arrow.

“What’s the matter? You look so energetic!” He Chuan sat up and was speechless at Lia, who had run over.

She was clearly a shrewd young lady, yet she had to pretend to be an innocent young lady.

However, Lia was indeed very obedient in front of him, and He Chuan could not expose her.

“We’re going to the autumn hunt soon. Master and Sister Lian’er, hurry up and pack up.” Lia said excitedly.

In the cold garden, wild geese flew in the autumn, and the grass rustled outside the stone palace gate. The Han family’s banners and banners surrounded them, and the Feng Country’s mountains and rivers were low in sight. The flowers wrapped around her hair, and the willow yin looked like it was leaning against the golden bank. The King came to look at the beast flying out west of Jianzhang. Every autumn, the royal family of the Xiongnu Tribe would bring their officials to hunt to show their good relationship. He Chuan didn’t have much interest in hunting.

“There’s all kinds of wild game in the hunt. It’s not as good as bear paws, wyvern, or hares.” Lia began to list the delicious food.

Cai Lian couldn’t sit still anymore. She really wasn’t interested in hunting, but she was very interested in eating delicious food.

During this period of time, she had gradually accepted Lia’s change. Although they were not as close as before, they were still good friends.

Lia had already figured out He Chuan and Cai Lian’s temperaments.

She now knew that He Chuan was not actually a lecherous person. He was very indifferent to everything as if he had no desires. Cai Lian was a foodie.

Her personality was very similar to He Chuan’s, except when it had something to do with food.

In the face of Cai Lian and Lia’s pleas, He Chuan could only accompany them to hunt.

When the royal family was hunting, they would send a team of soldiers and horses to drive all the animals within a radius of dozens of miles over a few days before, so as to avoid the royal family and nobles returning in disappointment. “Everyone, the rules are the same. Whoever’s prey is able to please this King will be heavily rewarded! The one with the most prey will be heavily rewarded!” Tetumtan excitedly bragged to his courtiers about how he had killed a tiger with his bare hands and been praised by his father.

Although the officials listened to it every year and could even recite it word for word, they acted as if it was the first time they had heard such an exciting thing and applauded and cheered.

Tetumtan seemed to enjoy the flattery of the officials.

The Xiongnu people respected martial strength, and he was most proud of killing a tiger with his bare hands.

“This King will take his leave first, please do as you please!” Tetumtan led the Imperial Guards and set off toward the place with the most prey. As the leader of the Xiongnu Tribe, he also needed to hunt more prey to reward his subjects. The other nobles should go elsewhere.

No matter how good or precious the prey you hunted was, it was not as good as the reward from Tetumtan because it was a kind of honor.

Lia lightly pressed her legs against the horse’s belly and galloped into the forest depths with He Chuan and Cai Lian.

He Chuan followed at the back. He did not seem to be controlling his horse, but the horse was very obedient and galloped behind Lia.

There were a few hidden auras not far away, but they were not the target, so he could not be bothered with them.

“Master, I’m already at the peak of Xiantian’s ninth stage. When can I break through to half-step to saint cultivator?” Lia’s face was filled with anticipation because she had heard the news that the First Prince had become a half-step saint cultivator. Her heart was a little anxious.

In order to compete for the throne, she had to show her value in front of her father. Otherwise, it would be not easy.

The man in front of her was her life-saving straw.

“When the conditions are right, you will naturally be able to break through to your current realm. You and Cai Lian will start learning the four arts from tomorrow. After that, you should read more books and temporarily put aside your cultivation.” He Chuan could help Lia breakthrough at any time, but it was still a matter of state of mind. They had to reach the same realm.

When she heard that she had to learn the four arts and read, Lia’s cute face instantly scrunched up.

She felt a headache when she was asked to cultivate and do literary things every day.

“Master, I feel sleepy just by reading. Can you change the method?” She pleaded, feeling wronged.

“Young Master is asking Sister Lia to improve her state of mind. Otherwise, there is a risk of energy deviation when you break through. Young Master will naturally help you break through when your state of mind improves.” He Chuan had taught Cai Lian a few times, and now it seemed like she was teaching Lia.

Lia finally understood and was overjoyed.



The Third Prince, with several masters, was galloping in the depths of the forest. As long as he won first place in the hunt today, he might be able to get his father’s special attention. Whether it was the First Prince, the Eldest Princess, or the Sixth Princess, Lia, all of them had to step aside!

However, the Third Prince and the others had no idea that dark clouds had already covered the sky at this time. A plot targeted explicitly at him was about to arrive.

At this moment, an antelope jumped over. The Third Prince excitedly drew his bow and shot an arrow. The experts immediately kept quiet, afraid they would disturb the antelope and the Prince’s mood.

Whoosh!

His posture was quite handsome, but unfortunately, he didn’t even touch the antelope’s hair. His archery skills were outrageous.

“How could a feathered animal escape from this King’s arrow!” He didn’t forget to boast to cover up his embarrassment.

The guards beside him could only shout “powerful” and helplessly follow behind him to watch the performance.

At this moment, a rain of arrows was shot at their team.

“Keep in formation!” The Master who was responsible for protecting the Third Prince reacted quickly and immediately ordered the soldiers to get into formation.

The light-armored cavalrymen quickly rushed to the front, raised their arm shields, and waved their steel knives to block the rain of arrows.

“Who is so bold? You dare to attack this King?” The Third Prince shouted sternly, but he was actually scared to death.

“The person who wants your dog’s life!” A group of masked men of sacrifice in black jumped out and surrounded the Third Prince.

As today was the hunt, the Third Prince did not bring many men with him. There were only four ninth-stage grandmasters and more than thirty personal guards.

However, it was obvious that the other party had planned this long ago. There were more than 200 people lying in ambush, many of whom were ninth-stage grandmasters.

It would be very difficult for the Third Prince to survive today.

“You dare to kill your own kind? That’s a serious crime. If the King finds out, you and your family will all die!” A black-robed expert beside the Third Prince shouted.

To be able to avoid the army that was chasing the animals, it was obvious that they were very familiar with this autumn hunt. Furthermore, more than 200 people had appeared out of thin air so that they would be easily discovered.

Therefore, it was easy to guess the identity of this group of people. They were the people of a certain Prince or Princess.

It was a pity that threats were of no use. Death warriors were called death warriors because they were not afraid of death!

In order to complete the mission, the underlings would either be willing or forced to sacrifice their lives. In order to avoid being captured after failing the mission, they would usually take poison before they carried out the mission.

“Protect the Third Prince! All troops, charge! Follow me!” Seeing that there was no turning point in the situation, the black-robed man wielded his sword and shouted!

Whoosh… accompanied by a buzzing sound, the rain of arrows cut through the sky, forming arcs, and shot toward the Third Prince. It was because his fat body was more conspicuous in the crowd.

Their mission to kill the target had been completed!
