Ren Baqian touched the bulletproof vest, crossbow, firearms, and military knife, and finally felt relieved.
On the other side, there were sleeping bags and spices.
Ren Baqian got up and put on the gun holster. After checking the magazine of the gun, he stuffed it in and put on his clothes. Then, he tied the bulletproof vest in the sleeping bag and put it on when he reached the destination.
When everything was ready, there was a knock on the door, "Sir Ren, it's almost time for the Great Hunt."
Ren Baqian knew it was Tie Dao's voice, but he didn't expect him to inform him.
When he opened the door, the sky was already starting to brighten.
Tie Dao was standing outside, "Sir, the Great Hunt is about to start, don't be late. Take this, it will definitely help you get a good ranking in the Great Hunt, and you might even get the first place. "
Gungun and Tiantian were bedridden because they were woken up. They hugged Tie Dao's leg and gnawed on it, but Tie Dao didn't even look at them. Anyway, his skin was rough and thick, and they couldn't bite through it. It was just a little itchy.
Ren Baqian looked at the small porcelain bottle in Tie Dao's hand, took it, and asked, "What is this?"
Tie Dao said that it could help him get a good ranking in the Great Hunt, so it must be related to hunting. Could it be a knockout drug that could knock out humans and animals within a radius of 100 meters? Then, he could be picky, and only then could he get a good ranking, right?
Tie Dao revealed a hearty smile, "This was passed down from my ancestors, and it can attract all the wild beasts within a certain range. I don't have the chance to use it, so I'm giving it to you."
Ren Baqian looked at it and felt the porcelain bottle burning in his hand. He almost threw it away.
Are you thinking that I'm not dying fast enough? I might not even be able to defeat a rabbit, and you want me to use this to attract all the wild beasts in the mountains? I reckon I won't even be able to find their corpses.
Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief and asked calmly, "Tell me, how much do you hate me?"
Tie Dao was at a loss, "Sir, this is a good thing, and it's hard to find nowadays. This bottle was passed down from my grandfather to my father, and my father passed it down to me. You are a good person, and since you are participating in the Great Hunt, I decided to give it to you. "
Ren Baqian sighed. It was really hard to reason with this bunch of fools. If I had that kind of strength, would I still need to say it?
However, when he thought about it, this thing was really useful. If he encountered any trouble, he could just throw it there. Who knows, it might have a miraculous effect.
"Thanks." Ren Baqian patted Tie Dao's shoulder, put the bottle away, and pointed to the sleeping bag tied with a rope. "Help me carry it."
"Alright." Tie Dao swiftly carried the sleeping bag and followed Ren Baqian to the cow pen in the beast park. The mountain-gazing bird was there.
Ren Baqian pulled the mountain-gazing bird out and patted its head twice. The mountain-gazing bird immediately squinted its eyes in comfort.
Ren Baqian watched as Tie Dao tied the sleeping bag and other items onto the mountain-gazing bird's body. He hung the crossbow and quiver at the side, took out some perfume from the sleeping bag, and sprayed it all over the mountain-gazing bird's body. Then, he flipped over and sat on it.
"Achoo!" As soon as Ren Baqian sat on the mountain-gazing bird, he sneezed due to the strong smell of perfume.
The mountain-gazing bird seemed to dislike the smell on its body and paced around restlessly. Ren Baqian quickly patted its head to appease it.
"Help me take care of Gungun and Tiantian!" Ren Baqian called out.
"Sir, water bag!" Tie Dao glanced at it and quickly called out.
Ren Baqian slapped his forehead. He had almost forgotten about this matter. He rode the mountain-gazing bird to the well, filled the water bag, and left.
After leaving the beast park, he went straight to the plaza outside the palace. The assembly point was there.
From afar, he could see that the plaza was brightly lit. Torches were set up in the surroundings, and at the same time, the roars of humans and beasts could be heard from afar.
When he got closer, he could see that there was already a large group of people at the edge of the plaza. When he got closer, he could see clearly that there were about two to three hundred people at one side of the plaza. He could tell that they were aboriginals, and there were both men and women talking loudly.
The men were all tall and big. Some of them were wearing tight-fitting silk clothes, and some were wearing animal skins. Ren Baqian knew that these were the sons and daughters of the court officials. If they were wearing animal skins, it was either because they liked it or because this was the Great Hunt. Therefore, they dressed more traditionally.
The women were about the same. Most of them had good figures and were full of vigor and energy. There wasn't a single one who was slightly plump. Their hair was tied behind their heads, and they looked very heroic.
At this moment, these people were talking loudly. It seemed like many of them knew each other.
Below them were all kinds of mounts. There were blood-red crooked cows, horses from other countries, goats, and even an elephant. Ren Baqian didn't know where he got the elephant from. It was a woman, and the height of her mount made her stand out like a crane among chickens.
There was also someone riding a saber-toothed tiger. When the saber-toothed tiger saw that there were so many animals around it, it seemed a little dissatisfied. It let out a low growl, but before it could make a sound, it was slapped on the head by the burly man behind it. "Be quiet, don't create trouble for me."
Ren Baqian looked at the mounts of these people, each one more powerful than the other. Then, he looked at the mountain-gazing bird that he was riding on. It felt like an Alto mixed in with hundreds of luxury cars. He consciously found a place to wait in the periphery and observed the situation.
A gentle breeze blew past. "Achoo!" "Achoo!"
Five or six people who were slightly closer to him sneezed and glared at Ren Baqian.
They had seen Ren Baqian before. Among them, a few had heard of this Honglu Deputy who had recently gained some fame. However, no one paid attention to him. However, the smell from his body or the mountain-gazing bird under his butt was too strong.
It wasn't the stench of the mountain-gazing bird, but a kind of pungent aroma that made their noses itch.
Ren Baqian was speechless. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have sprayed so much perfume. He got the mountain-gazing bird to move to the side, further away from those people.
There weren't only two to three hundred people in the plaza. There were also a few rows of soldiers in the middle of the plaza. From a visual estimation, there were about five hundred of them. They were all riding on those kind of huge sheep. Only the chest and the left shoulder were covered by leather. The rest of their bodies were completely exposed.
At the other end of the plaza, there was another group of people. From afar, he could see a few carriages that he had seen before. Needless to say, these were the people from the other three nations.
Ren Baqian didn't recognize any of those second-generation officials. They also didn't care about this Honglu Deputy. Ren Baqian knew quite a few people on the other side, but most of them wished they could skin him alive.
Furthermore, he was now an official of Dayao. He couldn't possibly mingle with those people.
Ren Baqian could only wait by himself in the periphery.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for too long. As the sky started to brighten, the palace gates opened. A few rows of fully armed imperial guards rode out in a single file. Ren Baqian was very familiar with the attire of these imperial guards. They were imperial guards from the palace.
