Zheng Lide said, "Head Chief, our two young misses are lucky. If they were born men, they would have to go to the border for a year. It's very dangerous!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Where's the prince?"
He then laughed, "It seems that every prince has an understanding of war."
If a prince's son had been to the battlefield, then it was obvious that all the current princes had been there. Now, it was their sons' turn. Generation after generation, none of them could escape.
"Yes." Zheng Lide sighed.
Chu Li said, "That's why every prince knows that the Great Ji Dynasty is not easy, and that they must always be on guard against the Li Dynasty. That's why they're forced to improve themselves, so that they won't become a fatuous ruler who indulges in pleasure."
"Yes, this is also Emperor Taizu's painstaking efforts." Zheng Lide said, "It's also thanks to this that the Ji Dynasty's Emperors have been wise for generations, there has never been an incapable Emperor!"
The two of them chatted as they slowly walked away from the city gate.
The official road outside was bustling with activity. There were soldiers on guard, and no ordinary people could be seen. The people on the road were all from the various king manors. Even so, it was still bustling with activity.
Both men and women were dressed in martial attire. The man looked heroic and the woman looked valiant and formidable, as if they were really going to the battlefield.
To many of the male servants of the King's Mansion, this was a chance for them to get used to the battlefield in advance. In the future, they would have to step into such a battlefield. From this, it could be seen that the Hunting Ceremony had been painstakingly planned and not just for fun.
When everyone gathered together, they could also improve their relationship. No matter how good a relationship was, it would fade if they didn't see each other often. This kind of Hunting Ceremony was very beneficial to increasing the cohesiveness of the royal family.
Chu Li sighed to himself. None of the people who founded the dynasty were mediocre. Each of their major activities contained extraordinary wisdom that would be passed down to future generations.
While the two of them were talking, three riders suddenly rushed out of the city gate and headed straight for them.
Chu Li turned his head to look.
The three date red horses looked as if they were draped in satin, sparkling in the sunlight. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of them. If they did not give way, they would collide with them.
Chu Li flicked his sleeve.
A surging power appeared out of thin air, like a wall erected in front of them.
"Neigh …" The steed neighed lightly as it stood on its hind legs and stopped in front of the Qi wall.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Three muffled sounds could be heard, but the three riders were not as lucky. They flew out and landed behind Chu Li and the others.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing turned around.
Leng Qiu wrinkled her nose and glared at the person on the ground. She scoffed proudly, "Serves you right!"
The three knights got up. Two of them were middle-aged men and one was a fat young man.
Their faces were so gloomy that they looked like they were about to burst into flames. They glared at Chu Li and the others, especially the fat young man. His face was trembling with rage.
"Who did it!?" The obese youth asked in a deep voice. His voice seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth.
Zheng Lide cupped his fists. "Greetings, Young Prince."
"Get lost, I'm not talking to you!" The plump young man waved his hand and glared fiercely at Leng Qiu. "Leng Qiu, you still dare to come? You really have guts!"
Leng Qiu snorted. "Why wouldn't I dare to come? Leng Tao, do you think you're the only one powerful? Everyone is afraid of you. What a joke! "
Leng Tao narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Hand over the culprit and I'll let you go!"
"I'll let you go!" Leng Qiu snorted proudly. "You fell flat on your face and you still have the nerve to talk big. If you know what's good for you, you should scram. You're still here talking nonsense. What a joke!"
"Leng Qiu, looks like you've hired a master!" Leng Tao said in disdain. "So what? You'll still get beaten up!"
Leng Qiu pursed her red lips and said hatefully, "Let's see who gets beaten up this time!"
Chu Li stood still and watched Leng Qiu and Leng Tao bicker.
He looked at Zheng Lide. Zheng Lide said in a low voice, "The legitimate son of King Cheng."
Chu Li nodded.
No wonder he was so arrogant. It was because of his family's style. He learned from his own father.
"Who did it just now? Come out!" Leng Tao stopped bickering with Leng Qiu and shouted at Chu Li and the others.
Siao Shi said lightly, "Which family's child is so disrespectful to his elders?"
"You …" Leng Tao's gaze was focused on Leng Qiu. He did not look at anyone else. Now that he saw Siao Shi, his cursing words stopped abruptly.
Song Liuying smiled faintly. "The son of King Cheng. He's a devil incarnate. Don't lower yourself to his level."
"Greetings, young lady!" Leng Tao closed fist saluted and squeezed out a smile. His chubby face seemed to be squeezed into a ball. His small eyes could not be seen.
Siao Shi said lightly, "I'm King An's wife. You should call me Aunt!"
"So you're Third Uncle's new wife. Sorry for not recognizing you!" Leng Tao laughed. His small eyes were gleaming. He stared at Siao Shi's face and sighed. "You live up to your reputation!"
Siao Shi frowned and said lightly, "You should leave!"
"Yes, yes, I should leave." Leng Tao nodded. He immediately reacted and shook his head. "No, no, I haven't found the culprit yet! Aunt Siao Shi … Sigh, it's too awkward to call you that. It makes you sound old! "
Siao Shi said impatiently, "No matter how young I am, I'm still your Third Aunt! Go on! "
"Wait!" Leng Tao shook his head. "I'll only leave after I find the culprit!"
"You fell down by accident. You can't blame anyone for your poor riding skills!" Siao Shi waved her hand. She turned around and gently tapped on the horse. The white horse lightly flipped its hooves and started to trot. Everyone followed suit.
Leng Tao shouted, "You're not allowed to leave!"
He glared at the two middle-aged men.
The two middle-aged men shook their heads and said softly, "Master, just let them go!"
"Bullsh * t!" Leng Tao shouted angrily. He scoffed, "If I don't find the culprit, I won't agree!"
"Master …" One of the middle-aged men said softly, "Even if we find them, it won't end well. It won't be too late to settle the score when Elder Chen comes. They won't be able to escape anyway!"
"That's right, that's right!" The other middle-aged man advised.
Leng Tao scoffed, "No way. I won't believe it today!"
"Master …" The two middle-aged men advised softly.
As Grandmasters, they knew better than anyone how terrifying that attack was.
Their bodies were instantly bound by an invisible force. They were powerless to resist. Otherwise, as Grandmasters, how could they fall so hard and fail to protect Leng Tao?
Leng Tao shouted, "Leng Qiu, you're not allowed to leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Leng Qiu rode on his horse. He pouted and shouted, "I'm not going to turn against you. I can't be bothered with you!"
Leng Tao jumped on his horse and chased after them. He scoffed, "Who did this? Come out now. Otherwise, don't be afraid of me!"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. This guy was really stubborn.
He extended his hand, "Young Prince, it's me. Chen Kong isn't here. How dare you be so presumptuous?"
"Who are you?!" Leng Tao glared at him and scoffed, "So what if Elder Chen isn't here? Don't tell me you dare to hit me?"
Chu Li sighed and waved his hand.
"Slap!" Leng Tao covered his face in disbelief. His small eyes widened, "You … you …!"
Chu Li said, "Next time, look ahead when you walk. Don't be reckless. Be careful. Don't kill yourself!"
"Who are you!" Leng Tao roared.
Chu Li shook his head, "Let's go."
