Chapter 345 Fireworks
"How dare you!" The eighteenth prince's attendant shouted angrily, turned his head and looked at the eighteenth prince who fell from his horse and screamed with his hands on his forehead. Seeing that his life was not in danger, the cold-faced eunuch immediately jumped off his horse and went straight to Yu'er. In his opinion, the most threatening person in the whole scene was only the attendant of Princess Ankang. As long as Yu'er was captured, he could clean up the mess. Now was not the time to care about the eighteenth prince, and the cold-faced eunuch knew this very well. But what the cold-faced eunuch didn't know was that he had made an irreversible mistake from the moment he jumped into the air. Li Xuan looked at this person indifferently when he jumped into the air, and couldn't help shaking his head. "This guy saw the accuracy of Ankang and Yu'er just now, why is he so careless?" As Li Xuan expected, the cold-faced eunuch was shot in the air. Princess Ankang, in particular, shot countless stones left and right, hitting the cold-faced eunuch. Yu'er was also unceremonious, throwing out one powerful stone after another.
Although Yu'er's frequency of throwing stones was not as fast as Princess Ankang's, she was more powerful.
At first, the cold-faced eunuch could still block a few stones thrown by Princess Ankang, but after receiving a few stones thrown by Yu'er, his body began to retreat uncontrollably, and finally fell to the ground in a mess, and the landing point was several steps back from where he jumped at the beginning.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er continued to beat the fallen dog, suppressing the cold-faced eunuch so that he couldn't even stand up for a while, and was in a mess.
Li Xuan watched this scene from the side, but he didn't even have the intention to attack.
"The stone-slinging methods of these two girls are quite powerful when combined."
Princess Ankang used the accuracy and shooting speed to control, and focused on hitting the opponent's joints and vital points.
Yu'er used the advantage of strength to deal good damage, and soon knocked the man unconscious.
The cold-faced eunuch was hit twice on the head. The stone that Yu'er threw out was like a drunk, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
Bang!
Yu'er threw out the last stone in her hidden weapon bag and hit the back of the cold-faced eunuch's head accurately, making him completely unconscious and fall to the ground.
Yu'er reached for the hidden weapon bag hanging next to the saddle and touched nothing.
In just a short while, Yu'er had already shot all the ten big stones in the hidden weapon bag.
The hidden weapon bag contained big stones that Yu'er had carefully selected, and they were very handy in terms of shape and weight.
Anyway, Yu'er had used up all the hidden weapons she had prepared, so she just picked up another one on the ground, and she didn't feel bad about using it.
Seeing that the eighteenth prince and his attendants had lost the power to resist, Princess Ankang and Yu'er stopped their attack.
But the hound that had been showing no reaction suddenly rushed out and barked at the three of them, as if it was risking its life to protect its master.
Li Xuan glanced at it with his eyes slanting, then opened his mouth and roared.
"Roar——"
The sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring rushed straight to the hound, scaring it to death. It turned around and ran away in panic, stepping on the head of the Eighteenth Prince, leaving a feces-yellow mark on his body, and then disappeared into the forest.
The Eighteenth Prince was busy covering his head and screaming, and didn't notice the tragedy that happened to him.
Seeing that only the Eighteenth Prince was screaming in the field, the three children looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
They didn't expect that the first shot would be so smooth.
"It seems to be just like that."
"Is my royal brother too weak?"
Princess Ankang even seemed to be a little unsatisfied.
The Eighteenth Prince on the ground cried even more miserably when he heard this.
"You, you, you are dead!"
"You dare to hit me with a stone, I must tell my mother and make you pay the price!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah..."
The Eighteenth Prince screamed heartbreakingly, but he was full of energy, and it seemed that the injury was still light.
After all, Princess Ankang couldn't really want to kill the Eighteenth Prince.
Otherwise, with her accuracy, it wouldn't be difficult to hit the opponent's eyes with a slightly off-center stone.
But after all, it was just a game, and since they were both royal heirs, Princess Ankang didn't need to be so ruthless.
In fact, judging from the default configuration of this game, it was destined to be a game of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals.
The attendants couldn't directly attack the royal heirs, at most they could start fighting and assist from the side.
The battle between the royal heirs still needed them to decide the outcome on their own.
Of course, the attendants had an absolute advantage, and there were ways to eliminate the opponent.
As long as the opponent's horse was disabled, the attendants and hounds were eliminated, and all the opponent's supplies were taken away, the opponent could be forced to give up in the end.
There were actually many ways to play this autumn hunting game, and it all depended on who could play it best.
"Ah Xuan, my brother wants to play with firecrackers, so let's fulfill his wish, right?"
Princess Ankang said with a sly smile.
Li Xuan immediately understood what Princess Ankang meant and came to the side of the Eighteenth Prince.
He had been howling on the ground for a long time and had recovered somewhat. Seeing Li Xuan coming, he quickly got up and hurriedly retreated.
"You, what are you doing?"
But when he moved, he found that his body was a little wet. He smelled it carefully and smelled a foul odor on his body.
"Ugh..."
He retched and his face turned pale.
Li Xuan ignored the fact that he was savoring the parting gift left by his beloved dog, and directly rolled up one of his legs with his tail, then held him upside down and shook it, causing a lot of things to fall off his body, but also frightened the Eighteenth Prince and made him scream.
"Ah——"
"Help, help!"
"Imperial sister, I won't dare to do it again!"
"Please spare me!"
"Ugh~"
The Eighteenth Prince was just retching before, but now he is fine, and he vomited directly after being treated by Li Xuan, especially now that he was held upside down, and he vomited so much that he even vomited out yesterday's overnight meal.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er didn't stop Li Xuan.
The Eighteenth Prince was so arrogant before, and he really had to teach this kid a lesson.
After shaking for a long time, Li Xuan finally found what he was looking for among a pile of toys and snacks.
One was the Eighteenth Prince's certificate, which was also a jade plate engraved with numbers.
The other was a cloud-piercing arrow used for asking for help.
Before, the eighteenth prince wanted to set off firecrackers for fun, so the three little ones satisfied him.
"Okay, Ah Xuan."
"After taking his credentials, release the Cloud Piercing Arrow."
"Someone should take care of the rest."
Princess Ankang ordered casually.
This feeling did not make her feel too awkward, as if competing with others was not that scary.
Of course, it could also be because her opponent was too weak, making her win too easily.
Li Xuan followed Princess Ankang's instructions and put the eighteenth prince's credentials into the Emperor Hong bone ring, and then shot the Cloud Piercing Arrow without hesitation.
The Cloud Piercing Arrow shot straight into the sky, and then exploded into a beautiful firework, which was clearly visible for dozens of miles.
The pale-faced eighteenth prince looked at the fireworks in the sky in a daze, and a trace of relief flashed across his face.
"Too scary."
"The Thirteenth Princess is too scary!"
He could never have imagined that the sickly person who was usually silent, sitting in a wheelchair all day, and was weak and fragile, could deal with him so well.
To be honest, the Eighteenth Prince had not seen Princess Ankang's movements clearly before.
When she raised her hand, he felt a pain in his forehead and fell off his horse.
As for the cat raised by Princess Ankang, it was even more of a thing, simply an evil ghost from the underworld.
How could a cat have such great strength to hold itself upside down and swing it around.
The Eighteenth Prince secretly looked at Li Xuan's figure and felt that this black cat was the most evil thing in the world.
Li Xuan noticed the Eighteenth Prince's gaze, turned back and glared at him, and was immediately frightened and shrank his head, not caring that his body was covered with filth.
"Humph, the naughty child must be treated, now you are honest, right?"
After Li Xuan did all this, he found a rope from their luggage, tied the Eighteenth Prince and his attendants together, and tied them to the tree.
Before leaving, Princess Ankang did not forget to greet the Eighteenth Prince:
"Eighteenth Prince, I will leave first."
"I hope there are no wolves, tigers or leopards in this forest, so I can take you away."
Princess Ankang's words frightened the Eighteenth Prince.
Looking at the Eighteenth Prince's reaction, Princess Ankang held back her laughter and rode away.
Seeing the three little ones walking away, the Eighteenth Prince immediately kicked the attendant beside him with his short legs.
"Wake up, wake up, don't sleep!"
"Useless thing, you fell asleep after fighting with others, and you dare to lie to me that you are a master!?"
The Eighteenth Prince was so angry that he cursed, but because he vomited so much before, he was weak and powerless.
After tossing for more than a quarter of an hour, the eunuchs in flowery clothes quietly appeared, leaving the Eighteenth Prince with nothing but dejected resignation.
If he could do it again, he would never dare to provoke Princess Ankang again.
...
At the same time, the three little ones who had already left suddenly raised their heads together.
There were more fireworks exploding in the sky, and someone else shot a cloud-piercing arrow.
And it was like a chain reaction, and several more fireworks exploded in the air.
"Wow, it's only the second day, are they moving so fast?"
Li Xuan looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky and said in his heart.
More importantly, Li Xuan found that the place where these fireworks rose was not far from them.
No matter how big Fanglin Garden is, it is limited after all.
And there are so many royal heirs participating in the competition that it is difficult to separate them completely even if they are dispersed.
Some people will meet in advance, just like the eighteenth prince they met before.
And Li Xuan found that the fireworks were all exploded on the side where they were.
In other words, now everyone is concentrated on the other side opposite to where they came in.
And in order to complete the competition and get the evaluation in the end, they need to return to the other side where they entered within the time limit.
According to Li Xuan's guess, I'm afraid some people have already started to return.
Because as long as you bring your own credentials and kill some prey and return to the entrance, you can get an evaluation.
No matter whether it is high or low, a result can be guaranteed.
Even, in the remaining days, going back to the other side to hunt, away from the disputes between other contestants, is also a good decision.
But this method cannot guarantee the victory.
Li Xuan decided from the beginning.
He will take Princess Ankang to hunt other contestants.
Even if they lost the game this time because of such an aggressive approach, Li Xuan felt it was worth it.
Princess Ankang needs to change her mentality. If she continues to maintain her previous lazy mentality, she will suffer a great loss in the future.
"Meow!"
Li Xuan called out and pointed out the direction they would charge next with his cat's paw.
"Uh, Xuan."
"It's getting late, why don't we take a break today."
Princess Ankang blinked and said to Li Xuan cutely.
Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang who was still talking nonsense in broad daylight, and firmly gestured the direction of the cat's paw, shouting:
"Meow! (Forward!)"
"Meow! (Forward!)"
"Meow!!! (Keep moving forward!!!)"
When he was excited, Li Xuan grabbed Princess Ankang's collar and shook it vigorously, pointing forward with his cat's paw, constantly encouraging her.
Princess Ankang looked like she had no desire to live, and it seemed that she couldn't drink this bowl of strong chicken soup.
Yu'er didn't say anything either, just covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
…
In the distance.
Several riders and horses rushed out of the forest and met together.
“Big brother!”
“Fourth brother, sixth sister.”
The eldest prince and his three siblings met together in a dusty state.
They had agreed on a way to meet up before the competition, and the previous few arrows that were partially shot one after another were shot by them.
It was just that the plan did not change quickly, and they almost failed to meet up just now.
“Fortunately, we agreed on a time, otherwise we would not be able to meet up.” The sixth princess said with lingering fear.
The eldest prince and the fourth prince looked at the place where the fireworks had also exploded before.
The other fireworks were almost within a quarter of an hour apart. If it was a little more coincidental, the three of them would not be able to see each other so smoothly.
Before the competition, they agreed to fire the arrows at the same time on the second day, and then use the arrows to determine their respective positions and meet at the nearest center point.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the three siblings still met up smoothly.
"Brother, fourth brother, I shot my own cloud-piercing arrow, what about you?" the Sixth Princess asked.
The First Prince and the Fourth Prince smiled at each other, and then each took out a jade token that did not belong to them.
"Lucky, I caught Old Seventeen." The First Prince replied.
"This is the Twenty-Second Sister's."
The Fourth Prince threw the jade token of his certificate directly to the First Prince, and the First Prince accepted it without hesitation.
"Alas, I am the only one with bad luck." The Sixth Princess said in annoyance.
After the three siblings got the map, they quickly discussed the initial strategy.
Judging from the speed of riding, the little ones must be a little slower.
With their speed, they got their own certificates first, then retreated ten miles along the original route, and then cruised to search for targets, with a high probability of catching the little ones who were still on the way.
As expected, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince caught the unlucky little ones one after another, and directly snatched the maps and cloud-piercing arrows from them.
The Cloud Piercing Arrow was just as the Fourth Prince had expected at the beginning, and there was no special mark to indicate the identity.
In other words, even if the Cloud Piercing Arrow was released, it would be difficult to find out who released it after leaving the original place.
Even if it was found, it could be said that it was released by mistake, and he did not choose to give up.
The Fourth Prince had studied the rules thoroughly long ago. The Cloud Piercing Arrow was only used to ask for help, and giving up required further confirmation.
Either he gave up the competition himself, or the flower-clothed eunuchs who came to support him determined that there was no possibility of continuing to participate in the competition.
For example, the Eighteenth Prince, who was tied up tightly by the three little ones before, would be taken out of Fanglin Garden by the flower-clothed eunuchs no matter how hard he said, and the Autumn Hunting Competition would end.
Because there was no help from the flower-clothed eunuchs, the Eighteenth Prince was tied to the tree and was completely helpless.
"It seems that this time is very lively."
The eldest prince sighed at the movement of the fireworks before.
"Brother, it won't be easy this time with the third brother participating."
"He has been in the army for a long time and has much more practical experience than us. Don't underestimate him."
The fourth prince reminded.
The eldest prince didn't comment, squinted his eyes, and recalled the directions where the fireworks exploded before.
"It's just right to see what skills he has learned in the past few years in the army."
