Over the next few days, aside from the occasional stroll through the imperial palace, Linlong spent most of his time in Anruo Palace Hall.
These past few days, he had learned where Princess Changle and her mother lived. However, it was very difficult to bring them out of the imperial palace.
In particular, Princess Changle clearly had a rank five warrior by her side.
Linlong could only slowly search for an opportunity.
Soon, the day of the hunt arrived. On this day, the Seventh Princess brought Linlong and Eunuch Sun out of Anruo Palace Hall, following Wu Anbang and the others to the hunting grounds.
The hunting grounds were in the mountain range to the north of the imperial palace.
An hour later, they arrived at the mountain range to the north. Linlong discovered that there were already people waiting for them there. These people wore the uniforms of the imperial guard, clearly members of the imperial guard.
At the head of the group was a rather dignified middle-aged man.
Seeing Wu Anbang and the other princes arrive, the middle-aged man hurriedly greeted them respectfully, "Greetings to the princes."
"General Qi, how is the situation?" Wu Anbang asked.
"After careful investigation, there are no third or fourth rank vicious beasts in these mountain peaks," General Qi replied.
"That's good." Wu Anbang nodded his head.
This time, there were quite a few people with relatively low strength. If they encountered a third or fourth rank vicious beast, it was likely that they wouldn't even be able to escape. He had done this to ensure the safety of the others, including himself.
It wasn't long before the others had gathered here.
At a glance, Linlong discovered that there were roughly two hundred people, all of whom were the young masters and young ladies of major clans.
It was also at this moment that a few people walked over from the left. At the very front was a youth, while to the youth's left was a rather elegant young lady. Although she couldn't compare to the Seventh Princess's heavenly beauty, she still had her own style.
"Seventh Princess." Before the Seventh Princess had even turned her head, the two had already greeted her.
"Li-er, it's you!" Turning her head, the Seventh Princess immediately revealed a happy expression when she saw the two.
After exchanging conventional greetings, the young lady called Li-er pointed curiously at Linlong and asked, "Seventh Princess, who is this?"
"This is my newly recruited bodyguard, surnamed Tang Li," the Seventh Princess replied with a smile.
"So it's Bodyguard Tang," Li-er and the youth said respectfully.
"Guard Tang, these two are my friends. Li 'er is called Li Li, and her brother is called Li Dao. They are the young master and young mistress of the Li family in the city." The Seventh Princess introduced them.
"Greetings." Linlong nodded.
As they spoke, Wu Anbang and Lin Guanghan walked over. When their gazes shifted to Lin Long's face, Lin Guanghan's face naturally darkened. When the Seventh Princess looked at him, he immediately put on a smile.
Although the Seventh Princess and Linlong had come with them, the Seventh Princess had purposely lagged behind so they did not have a chance to speak.
"Greetings, First Prince," Li 'er and Li' er hurriedly greeted.
After speaking a few words with the Seventh Princess and the others, Wu Anbang stood on a high vantage point, and then he said to everyone, "This time, the rules of our hunt will remain the same. We'll see who kills the most ferocious beasts and obtains the most energy stones. However, after a discussion among us princes, we added another condition. That is, whoever gets first place can do some things to the person they like within the scope of permission. Even the princes and princesses can't refuse. "
"Wow …"
After hearing Wu Anbang's words, the young people at the scene immediately shouted in excitement. In addition to their excitement, they all began to discuss among themselves.
"If I can get first place, I'll definitely kiss the Seventh Princess!"
"Forget it. With your strength, you can't even beat me. How can you get first place?"
"In my opinion, this condition is simply tailor-made for Lin Guanghan."
"Isn't Lin Guanghan injured?"
"He only injured his left hand. Moreover, so many days have passed. He should have recovered by now."
…
While the crowd was discussing, the Seventh Princess could not help but frown. She came to Wu Anbang's side and said, "Big Brother, this is not a good idea."
"Seventh Sister, all of us have agreed. Don't reject it," Wu Anbang said.
"That's right, Seventh Sister. I, your Fourth Brother, have already agreed," the Fourth Prince said.
The Fifth Prince also nodded.
The Seventh Princess looked at the Sixth Prince, who nodded as well.
The Seventh Princess could only walk back helplessly.
When she came to Lin Long's side, she suddenly said to him, "Guard Tang, listen up. You must get first place later!"
"Why?" Lin Long was puzzled.
"No reason. Just do as I say. Otherwise, I'll get Eunuch Sun to torture you in the future!" The Seventh Princess glared at Lin Long.
Eunuch Sun could not help but roll his eyes when he heard her words.
Seeing that Lin Long did not say anything, the Seventh Princess said again, "Why? You're not willing?"
"I'll try my best." Lin Long shrugged helplessly.
"Anyway, I don't care. If you can't do it, just wait and see!" The Seventh Princess snorted coldly.
"The hunting location is in the mountains ahead. Everyone, don't go too far. In order to make the hunt a little more exciting, we won't enter these mountains together. Instead, we'll let everyone ride on horses and then scatter to different places. "At this moment, Wu Anbang said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, General Qi waved his hand and the horses that had been prepared were pulled in front of the crowd.
After that, the participants of the trial all flipped over and mounted their horses. Each of them had a horse.
After everyone was on their horses, General Qi suddenly roared angrily.
Following his furious roar, the horses immediately charged towards the forest in front of them like arrows released from a bow.
They rushed forward in all directions and intersected with each other. Therefore, those who were familiar with each other would not stay together.
"Remember what I said earlier and come find me as soon as possible to fulfill your duty as a guard. Otherwise, I will make you suffer!"
This was what the Seventh Princess said to Lin Long before they separated.
After rushing into the forest for a while, a second-level fierce beast suddenly appeared in front of them.
As soon as this second-level fierce beast appeared, the black horse that was pulling Lin Long was shocked. It immediately threw Lin Long off and turned to run.
As soon as Lin Long was thrown off, the second-level fierce beast immediately rushed over with its bloody mouth wide open. What greeted it was Lin Long's sword.
Lin Long had consumed a second-level Qi-enhancing Pill, so he now had the strength of a third-level warrior. His sword of a third-level warrior naturally killed the second-level fierce beast.
After taking the energy stone from the fierce beast, Lin Long walked inside.
Lin Long did not intend to get first place in this hunt because he did not want to be so high-profile.
After killing a few fierce beasts, Lin Long came to a small river.
At this moment, a terrified cry suddenly sounded from the right.
Lin Long immediately walked in the direction of the sound and found a young girl being attacked by two fierce beasts. One was a second-level fierce beast, while the other was a third-level fierce beast.
The young girl only had the strength of a second-level mid-stage, so how could she not be afraid when facing such fierce beasts?
Although Wu Anbang had said that there would not be third-level fierce beasts appearing, this was a forest after all. The appearance of third-level fierce beasts did not surprise Lin Long.
Of course, there would not be many third-level fierce beasts like this. It could only be said that this young girl was unlucky.
Looking at the young girl, Lin Long was a little confused. This was because everyone who came in had fireworks on them. This was to send out a signal when they encountered danger so that fourth-level and fifth-level warriors could come in and rescue them.
However, from the beginning until now, he did not see any fireworks being released by this young girl at all.
As he walked closer, Linlong's face revealed a hint of surprise. This was because he realized that this young lady was that Li Li from before.
This Li Li looked kind-hearted. He would save her this time. With that thought in mind, Lin Long immediately rushed toward her.
As soon as he got close, he directly attacked the second-level fierce beast with his palm.
With just one palm, the second-level fierce beast was sent flying. Then, he quickly went to deal with the third-level fierce beast.
At this moment, Li Li was obviously injured by the third-level fierce beast. If he was any slower, Li Li would definitely be seriously injured by the third-level fierce beast.
With Lin Long and Li Li's help, the third-level fierce beast was killed in no time.
"Thank you, Protector Tang." Li Li, who was still in a state of shock, rushed up to Lin Long and hugged him directly after the fierce beast was killed.
It was not because she was nervous, but she was so emotional that she grabbed Lin Long's back tightly. Even through his clothes, Lin Long could feel that his back was bleeding.
"Miss Li, can you let go of me?" Lin Long was speechless.
"Protector Tang, I'm sorry." Li Li immediately let go of Lin Long after she regained her senses.
"It's alright."
"Protector Tang, can I hunt the fierce beasts with you?" Li Li said as she looked at Lin Long expectantly.
"Of course," Lin Long said lightly.
"That's great." Li Li was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Then, after obtaining the energy stones of the two fierce beasts, the two of them continued to walk forward.
After killing a few fierce beasts, three people walked in front of them. The one in the lead was Li Li's brother, Li Dao.
"Sister, I was afraid that something might have happened to you." Li Dao looked worried.
"I'm fine. I just happened to meet Protector Tang. Protector Tang helped me kill a third-level fierce beast. That's why I'm fine," Li Li said.
"Third-level fierce beast? Sister, did you encounter a third-level fierce beast?" Li Dao was naturally surprised to hear that.
"Mm-hmm." Li Li nodded.
"Thank you so much, Protector Tang." Li Dao quickly thanked Lin Long.
"Since that's the case, Protector Tang, come with us." Li Dao said with a smile.
Before Lin Long could answer, someone beside Li Dao suddenly said, "Protector Tang, we saw the Seventh Princess just now. She's alone. Since you're the Seventh Princess's guard, why don't you hurry and find her?"
"Guo Tang, this is true. Don't lie." Li Li quickly said.
"Of course it's true. Why don't you ask your brother?" Guo Tang could not help but say.
"That's right." Li Dao nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave." Lin Long could not help but smile and directly walked away.
Seeing Lin Long leave, Li Li could not help but reveal a trace of disappointment on her face.
