Although the royal hunting ground was not as good as the deep mountains and forests near Chengde Villa, it was also very large. There were several mountains connected together, so people could enjoy hunting here.
Mo Rongzhan had been waiting in the hunting ground with Tang Zhen and Geng Tuo. After a while, he saw Zhao Yong and others riding horses.
"This hunting ground is quite large." Zhao Yong rode a horse and looked at Mo Rongzhan in front of him.
Mo Rongzhan was wearing a dark purple robe with narrow sleeves. A few auspicious clouds were embroidered on the cuffs and lapels, which made him look superior. His eyes were as cold and indifferent as ever, and his whole body exuded a terrifying tension. He was riding a black horse, and just standing there made people not dare to look at him directly.
Zhao Yong couldn't help but admire him in his heart. If Mo Rongzhan was not the emperor of Jin Kingdom, he would be willing to marry his daughter to him. Such a person was worthy of the princess of Qi Kingdom.
"Your Majesty." Song Honao had already saluted Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Zhao Yong with a smile, "Prince Shen, don't you like hunting best? Please feel free today. "
Zhao Yong pointed to Xiao Qi behind Mo Rongzhan, "Your Majesty caught a wolf so soon?"
"It is raised by the Empress." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "I have kept it in the palace for too long, so I brought it out today."
Lu Yaoyao also raised a white wolf? Zhao Yong's eyes fell on Xiao Qi, and he was surprised to find that this white wolf was a wolf king, "I didn't expect that the Empress of your country had such an ability."
Mo Rongzhan didn't want Zhao Zhongshen to pay too much attention to Yaoyao. He said with a smile, "Prince Shen's archery should be good, right?"
Zhao Yong laughed, "I don't have any archery skills. I usually play with some rabbits and pheasants in my hunting ground. I'm not good at archery myself, but I like to watch others ride and shoot."
"It doesn't matter. There are a lot of small prey in this hunting ground." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
"How is it compared with Chengde Villa?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile, reminding Mo Rongzhan that he had promised to take them to Chengde Villa.
Mo Rongzhan didn't feel embarrassed at all and said with a smile, "It's close here. I'm afraid that Prince Shen won't be used to the long journey."
After all, people who worked in brothels every day would consume too much physical energy.
It was not good for them to travel for a long journey.
"Your Majesty," Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice.
Two soldiers carried Mo Rongzhan's personal bow and arrows. The bow was black and shiny. It was made of tungsten and weighed more than a hundred pounds. Mo Rongzhan easily picked it up with one hand.
"Good bow!" Zhao Yong praised, "Benwang doesn't have His Majesty's divine power, this is enough."
Zhao Yong took the bow that Song Hongao handed over. It looked very ordinary, not even comparable to the one that Song Hongao used himself. Generally, rookies who were not good with bows and arrows would use this kind of bow made of cedar wood.
Mo Rongzhan was very clear that Zhao Yong was not a rookie. Whether it was the way he held the bow or the thick calluses on his hands, he could see that this person was not a pampered prince who only knew how to indulge in wine and women.
However, it seemed that Zhao Zhongshen had always wanted people to think that he was a rookie who was not good with the bow and arrow. So, let's look at him that way for the time being and see what he really wanted to do.
"Prince Shen, please." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
Zhao Zhongshen carried the bow and arrows on his back and rode into the woods with Mo Rongzhan.
Song Hongao and Tang Zhen followed at the same time.
…
…
After Mo Rongzhan returned to the capital, he recalled a lot of memories about the past. Except for everything related to Ye Zhen, there seemed to be some barrier blocking him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not remember anything. Today, when he entered the hunting ground, a scene flashed quickly in his mind.
He saw a ferocious tiger pouncing towards Yaoyao, and he flew in front of her without a care in the world.
"Yaoyao!" Mo Rongzhan's eyes suddenly darkened as he looked down the mountain. He seemed to have been injured there.
Zhao Yong turned to look at him, "Your Majesty, you've only caught a few rabbits and you're already not in the mood?"
"I just remembered that I once encountered a fierce tiger here." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, turning over and dismounting from his horse. This hunting ground was specially prepared for the royal family. There were no beasts in it. The appearance of the tiger was too strange. Later, it was found that someone deliberately led it here. He wanted to remember more things about Yaoyao. For the first time in a long time, he thought of her past.
But the scene flashed by and he could not remember more.
Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows and dismounted. "Will there be a tiger here?"
He looked back. Song Hongao and Tang Zhen disliked each other. With his and Mo Rongzhan's consent, they went to compete in archery. Now, there were only a few guards here. If there were really fierce beasts, Mo Rongzhan must be very confident in his martial arts.
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "The tiger was deliberately introduced here. This is the royal hunting ground, there will be no fierce beasts."
"It seems that it is not easy for you to be the emperor." Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows.
"What about the emperor of the Qi Kingdom?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile. "Is it easy for him?"
Zhao Yong picked up the bow and arrow and shot it in the direction of Mo Rongzhan. A rabbit was struggling in the grass.
Mo Rongzhan smiled. "Good archery."
"Not as good as the emperor." Zhao Yong looked at Mo Rongzhan meaningfully. If his arrow was a little bit off, it would have hit Mo Rongzhan. Mo Rongzhan could still stand there without changing his expression. Not everyone had that kind of natural certainty and self-confidence.
"Prince Shen has been in the capital for a few days. How is it compared with the capital?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile as he walked deeper into the forest.
Zhao Yong walked up and walked side by side with him. "It's so fascinating."
"As long as Prince Shen likes it. You are welcome to come often in the future." Mo Rongzhan said that if the two countries could be allied, the checkpoints would exchange road signs. Then Zhao Zhongshen could come whenever he wanted.
Now that the two countries had no alliance, each checkpoint refused each other's road signs. It was difficult to even do business with each other.
"It is not easy to come often between the Jin Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom." Zhao Yong sighed. "Does the emperor plan to let the two countries exchange?"
Mo Rongzhan looked at him with a smile. "What does Prince Shen mean by exchange?"
"The Jin Kingdom has two trading ports, Jinkou City and Nanyue City. If the emperor is willing, although the Qi Kingdom also has a port, it is not as good as Jinkou City. If the emperor agrees, the goods of the Qi Kingdom can be imported and exported through Jinkou City. The checkpoints of the two countries will exchange road signs. This is good for both countries." Zhao Zhongshen said with a smile.
It is more beneficial for the Qi Kingdom! Mo Rongzhan smiled in his heart. The Qi Kingdom was good in everything, but it was not as good as the Jin Kingdom in the import and export trade. For so many years, no matter how hard the Qi Kingdom worked, it could not surpass Jinkou City and Nanyue City. Zhao Yong wanted to use Jinkou City and Nanyue City to increase the income of the people of the Qi Kingdom.
