Chapter 589 Undercurrent (2)

Although the princes are young, they have been studying literature and martial arts since they were five years old. Riding and archery is a must-learn lesson. Whether the archery skills are good or not is another matter, but the riding skills are all good.

The little princes rode the smallest horses and followed Xiao Ruiyuan excitedly, chattering along the way about the prey they might encounter next, all of them blushing and thick-necked, and no one wanted to give in to the other.

Only the Sixteenth Prince did not participate in these topics. He stared at the majestic and extraordinary figure three feet away for a moment, the admiration in his eyes never dissipating.

The last thirty imperial guards followed closely, not daring to relax at all. If these little ancestors made any mistake, they might have to stay here forever.

The group of people arrived at their destination soon. Xiao Ruiyuan dismounted first and tied the horse's reins to a big tree. The little princes also followed the same example, without the hands of the fake guards, they tied it with unfamiliar movements, but they tied it securely.

Xiao Ruiyuan pursed his lips and waited aside, his sharp eyes cast towards the forest in front of him, listening to the various leisurely chirpings of birds inside, his expression a little gloomy.

"General Xiao, this mountain is low and small. Will there be prey in it? Let's change places!" The nine-year-old Thirteenth Prince looked at the sparse and low vegetation in front of him, mustered up the courage to walk over and approached Xiao Ruiyuan. suggested.

Thats right, you can tell at a glance that there is no prey in this mountain. At most, its pheasants and hares. I dont want these little things!

Yeah, thats right, I still want to see live tigers and bears. Pheasants and hares are too boring.

General Xiao, when you brought us to a place like this, do you think we princes are only worthy of hunting pheasants and rabbits here?

Several other princes echoed their words one after another, with a hint of dissatisfaction in their words. They obviously thought that Xiao Ruiyuan looked down on them and bringing them to a place like this was purely perfunctory.

Before Xiao Ruiyuan could speak, the Sixteenth Prince put on a sullen face and began to defend him: "We have several people who are not good at martial arts and archery. What if we go to the deep mountains and forests and encounter danger? General Xiao is For the sake of the safety of us people, we should not go to the mountains inside."

Several princes seemed to think that what the Sixteenth Prince said was true, and gradually became quiet. The Thirteenth Prince who made the suggestion at first said dissatisfied: "Humph, the wild beasts in the mountains have been trapped for a long time, where is the danger? He brought us here. Here, its just perfunctory!

As soon as these words came out, the remaining princes pointed their guns at Xiao Ruiyuan. The sixteen princes opened their mouths and could not speak to them at all.

Xiao Ruiyuan stared at the noisy princes coldly, until they closed their mouths in frustration, then he withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "Your Highnesses are too worried. Few people set foot on this mountain. Those who were chased a few days ago There are a lot of prey hiding here, its not just some pheasants and hares.

When several princes heard this, they looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with suspicion. Finally, they were frightened by his cold aura and reluctantly closed their mouths.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn't care what they were thinking. After giving some instructions to the guards, he picked up his bow and arrow and walked into the forest. Hearing the sound of footsteps and whispers behind him, he didn't even look back, he straightened his bow and shot an arrow, nailing a pheasant in the grass that was about to flutter its wings to escape to the ground.

This move was more effective than anything else. The reluctant princes immediately shut their mouths when they saw the pheasant that was carried out by the guards and was pierced by an arrow.

With the noise in his ears gone, Xiao Ruiyuan calmed down and searched for prey, always wandering around in this small mountain forest without taking a step deeper.

The arrows were shot out one by one, and the prey was picked up one by one. Even though they were pheasants and hares that the princes despised, none of them dared to look down on Xiao Ruiyuan's precise archery skills, and some even imitated his archery skills. Postures are practiced constantly.

Only the Thirteenth Prince, who had previously been making noises about going to the mountains, looked very unhappy, his eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There are indeed wild deer, wild sheep and other large prey in the mountain forest, but they are very alert and run very fast. Xiao Ruiyuan was concerned about the few young princes and did not try hard to track those prey. This made the few young princes feel regretful and wanted to rush to them. Just go up and hunt them yourself.

Walked around the mountain a few times and hunted down a bunch of pheasants and hares. After experiencing the initial novelty, the young princes gradually lost interest and began to pester Xiao Ruiyuan to teach them archery.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince held his stomach in pain and said intermittently: "General Xiao, I have a stomachache and I want to pay my respects."

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned, looked around, pointed to a pile of dense grass not far away and said, "Go there!" After saying that, he arranged for a few more guards to follow him, just in case.

The Thirteenth Prince glanced at the guards and looked a little unhappy, but said nothing. He turned around and went to the grass, and the guards quickly followed.

Xiao Ruiyuan turned around, hung a hare on a tree trunk four feet above the ground, and said to several princes who asked for instruction in archery skills: "Shoot!"

Upon seeing this, several princes excitedly pulled Wanle's smaller bows and arrows, aiming at the hare ten meters away, and loosened their little hands on the arrow tails.

The arrow broke off the bowstring and flew towards the hare. Unfortunately, the range was sufficient, but it was not accurate. Except for the sixteenth prince's arrow, which brushed the hare's fur, the other arrows did not even touch the hare's fur.

Several princes looked at Xiao Ruiyuan eagerly, hoping to get his advice.

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at them expressionlessly, without making any comments, and just let them continue to cum.

The little princes were helpless, but they did not dare to use their status as princes to suppress him, so they had no choice but to continue shooting rabbits.

Time flies, and two moments pass. The princes' arms were sore when they drew their bows, and they all complained secretly. Their accuracy and range were getting worse every time.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Ruiyuan asked them to stop and rest. After they had rested, he would give them instructions one by one.

The little princes cheered and sat down, ignoring the dampness on the ground. They ordered the guards to bring food and water and began to replenish their strength.

The sixteenth prince sat next to Xiao Ruiyuan and munched on cakes. He looked at the grass not far away and muttered in a low voice: "The thirteenth prince hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he has constipation?"

Xiao Ruiyuan looked stern and realized that something was not right. He looked at the pile of grass and saw several guards guarding the outside of the grass. He was still worried, so he stood up and walked over quickly...
