Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Two days later, the Scarlet Water Crown Prince who had finally recovered went to the front courtyard with the Third Princess.
Today was the day they were going hunting, they wanted to use this opportunity to see how good the Xuanyuan Crown Prince’s skills were. Early in the morning, the accompanying group of people were already gathered outside the residence, ready and waiting. At this time, they were all waiting for Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
It wasn’t until about an hour later that the figure in black had arrived late, and that manservant was still following behind him. The sight of them had the Scarlet Water Crown Prince and Third Princess narrowing their eyes.
“I’ve made both of you wait for a long time.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said as he glanced at the both of them. In a deep voice, he said: “The journey there and back should take three days, are Scarlet Water Crown Prince and Third Princess prepared?”
“Mmm.” The Scarlet Water Crown Prince responded, his gaze fell onto Xuanyuan Mo Ze: “We also often practise outside so are easy to go along with, we’ve even changed into our hunting attire and have just been waiting for Xuanyuan Crown Prince.”
“Since that’s the case, then please let’s set off! The horse is ready.”
The two of them headed outside and came to the front of the residence. As soon as they had turned their bodies and jumped up onto the prepared horse, they saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze walking out and Shadow One leading a black horse. However, Xuanyuan Mo Ze didn’t get onto the horse but glanced at Feng Jiu beside him instead.
“I’ll ride this horse.” Feng Jiu said with a smile and pointed to the white horse being led by Yang Yong.
“Follow me and don’t go too far away from my side.” He said in a low voice before he turned his body and jumped onto the horse. As he sat on his horse, he looked down at her standing below.
“Okay.” Feng Jiu replied. After she took the white horse from Yang Yong, she turned her body beautifully and sat on the horse, following beside him.
When the Scarlet Water Crown Prince saw this, his gaze fell on the young boy dressed in a manservant’s outfit once again. After he had looked at him up and down, he looked away again.
Behind them, Gray Wolf and Shadow One followed to protect them, as well as the first team of the Guards from the residence, they had about twenty to thirty people on their side. As for Scarlet Water Crown Prince’s side, they also had about twenty to thirty people. Together, fifty to sixty people had formed a brigade and headed towards Ninefold Mountains.
Yang Yong who had stayed behind to look after the residence turned back and went back inside after he had watched them leave.
Through the Imperial City, they had travelled on horses and galloped all the way. By the time they had arrived at Ninefold Mountains, it had taken them less than half a day’s journey.
Ninefold Mountains was divided into nine mountains, it was said to be the Royal Hunting Forest. However, because of the large area, whenever the Royals came hunting here, they were never able to go through the whole area. Other than some fierce beasts, there were also some Spirit Beasts inside the forest.
When they got to the outside of Ninefold Mountains, Xuanyuan Mo Ze who was sitting on his horse looked at Scarlet Water Crown Prince and said in a deep voice: “This place is not considered a dangerous place based on the skills of both of you, let’s take ten people each into the forest! The rest of them can stand guard outside.”
“Okay.” Scarlet Water Crown Prince replied and proceeded to instruct his subordinate to organise ten people to follow him inside the forest while the others were to remain outside to stand guard.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Mo Ze had made similar arrangements to them, other than Gray Wolf, Shadow One and Feng Jiu, they had seven guards accompanying them.
“Try not to go to the Third Mountain, we will assemble outside the forest when it gets dark.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze reminded everyone.
“Don’t worry, we have long heard about your Ninefold Mountains, we know what sort of a place it is.” Scarlet Water Crown Prince snorted. He clapped his legs together and whipped the horse, with a low grunt the horse galloped ahead and everyone followed behind.
Princess Yingxue however didn’t follow them but stared at Xuanyuan Mo Ze: “Crown Prince, Yingxue will follow your group!”
