Like I said, I'm the same as everyone else. I'm just a normal person who's here to participate in the hunt! "Zhao Yarou said calmly.
"This … It's more meaningful for the Emperor to do it himself. I think everyone thinks so too." The court official didn't continue with the normal procedures, and continued to let Zhao Yarou do it.
Apart from helping him get out of this trouble, he was also flattering Zhao Yarou!
"That's right, beautiful Empress, you do it!"
When the people below heard this, they also started to agree. This was also what they wanted to see. After all, letting Zhao Yarou, the Empress, personally do it would make this hunt a little more important, and let them be a little more proud in the future.
How could they be proud? Wasn't it just boasting to others that the hunt they were participating in was personally presided over by the Empress, and that they were participating in the same activities as them? How arrogant was this?
"Then let me do it!" Zhao Yarou was still as calm as ever. She directly walked towards the small stage, and under everyone's gaze, she said four words, "The hunt begins!!"
It was simple and clear, making people a little unable to react. Some of the usual speeches were omitted. Although those words weren't much, at most a few minutes, it was too simple.
However, after being stunned for a while, people reacted!
"Roar!"
The roars that filled the entire day announced the official start of the hunt. Many people admired Zhao Yarou's straightforwardness, including Ye Lang who was irreconcilable with her.
"I have to say, although this woman is perverted, she's really straightforward!" Ye Lang sighed.
"Yes, she is very straightforward! She killed her own father without batting an eyelid, and even slaughtered all the members of the royal family, making her throne unshakable! "Cold-Blooded Five nodded in agreement.
Right now, there were only three people in the royal family of the Soaring Kong Empire. One was Zhao Yarou herself, and the other was Ye Lang's seventh princess and seventh sister-in-law!
Ai, according to the ancient saying of China, this royal family had already been cut off!
Ye Lang only had this one thought. There were only these three girls left in the royal family, and the bloodline had already been cut off!
However, this was an ancient saying in China. There was no such saying in this continent. Women could also inherit the family name, but they had to find a son-in-law to marry into the family.
As for the Queen of the Soaring Sky Empire, she naturally had to find a son-in-law who would marry into her family. It was impossible for her to get married, and this son-in-law seemed to be an Imperial Prince.
"Let's go. If we don't, we'll be discovered!"
Seeing that Ye Lang was still in a daze, Coldblood Five reminded him. This was because at this moment, the other people had already left and were heading towards the hunting grounds.
Of course, this did not mean that there would be no one else after Ye Lang. Some people would still take their time to express their attitude. It was a kind of indifferent attitude. There was a less elegant word that could be used to describe this attitude. It was a kind of pretentious act!!
Ye Lang could also put on an act, but if it was too eye-catching, he wouldn't do it because he had always been low-key!
Why did he say that Ye Lang would stand out amongst that group of people? It was very simple. It was because these people were all riding horses. In the hunting grounds, riding horses was actually necessary, unless there were no horses.
Speaking of this, it had to be mentioned that the hunting grounds this time were actually very large, unimaginably large. The hunting grounds were a mountainous region, an irregularly shaped mountainous region. The longest distance was between 500 and 300 kilometers.
This was equivalent to a quarter of an empire's province, and it was even larger than some small kingdoms!
This was something that couldn't be helped. This hunting event was a grand event for the entire empire, and there were many people participating. If it was just a small place, how could they participate in this hunt?
That was basically snatching prey. It wasn't a competition of hunting skills, but rather martial strength. This was the opposite of the purpose of the event!!
There was a rule in the event, and that was that they couldn't snatch prey. Of course, this only referred to the prey that they had hunted. If it was so coincidental that everyone had their eyes on the same prey, then they could only compete with each other's strength or work together to score points!
Regarding this hunting event, Ye Lang wasn't unfamiliar with it. He had participated in it before, and he had even won that time. However, he didn't even have a bow that time. It was Ye Lanyu and the others who took care of it.
At that time, Ye Lang was part of a small group that included Ye Lang himself, Ye Lanyu, the Seventh Princess, and a few other girls. Ye Lang couldn't remember who they were, but he remembered that they were familiar with Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess.
At that time, the reason why they won wasn't because the group members were strong, but because the group's luck was too good. Almost everywhere they went, there would be prey. It could be said that the prey would automatically come to them.
When hunting, most of the time was spent on finding the prey. This was the most important part. However, Ye Lang's group didn't have this part, so it was hard for them not to win!
At that time, almost everyone was sighing.
Sigh, the 13th Young Master's luck was truly unparalleled!!
Returning to the main topic, such a large territory naturally required a means of transportation like horses. As nobles who liked to show off, they naturally had them!
As for Ye Lang, it wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that he didn't know how to ride a horse. Therefore, he could only travel on foot. Therefore, he couldn't mix in with this group of people, so he had to follow the commoners from before.
If people found out that a noble like him didn't know how to ride a horse, this problem would attract the attention of others. Coupled with some guesses, it was very likely that he was the only noble in the world who didn't know how to ride a horse, that unconventional prodigal!
Therefore, Ye Lang had to enter the hunting grounds as soon as possible. As long as he entered, he believed that no one would notice him again!
This hunting ground was so large that once he entered, there was a possibility that he would always be alone and wouldn't meet anyone else. With such a probability, Ye Lang felt that it wouldn't be so coincidental that he would meet Zhao Yarou.
Of course, because of this, Ye Lang didn't go too far after entering. He had to follow Li Yue. Otherwise, he and Li Yue would basically not meet in the hunting ground.
"I hope you don't walk together with that perverted woman, or else we'll have to change our plans!" Ye Lang sat on a small rock halfway up the mountain. From there, he could see Li Yue, Zhao Yarou, and the others who hadn't entered the hunting ground yet.
Ye Lang was waiting for Li Yue's decision. If she was with Zhao Yarou, he would simply give up on this activity and directly return to the city to rest.
However, fortunately, Li Yue didn't seem to have any intentions of being with Zhao Yarou, and Zhao Yarou didn't keep Li Yue by her side either. Li Yue decided to do what she did in previous years and find an uninhabited area to hunt alone.
