Herron, surrounded by several guards, rode through the forest on horseback, acting arrogantly wherever he went, and almost everyone avoided him.
If someone is aiming at prey and gets spotted, that's really bad luck. He will definitely draw his arrow and strike first.
After that, Hella almost never hunted for prey on his own. He specifically looked for humans because people riding horses were easy to spot from afar. Finding a human was much simpler than hunting animals.
He just needs to aim at someone else's prey.
Within an hour, the hunting ground was filled with complaints. After Herel's interference, how could they possibly continue with the hunting competition normally
Zong Yu was tracking a deer with Zhao Yun. The deer was very cunning, and they had been chasing it from the entrance until now. Whenever they got closer, it would run away. Zong Yu wasn't as focused today as he usually was. Instead of forcefully trying to kill it, he took his time and slowly wore down the deer's energy.
Zhuge Yun was actually a bit confused.
"My Lord, although this deer is cautious and keeps its distance, your arm strength could easily allow for a successful kill."
"Today doesn't seem quite like your usual style."
Zong Yu kept glancing around the entire way, though he wasn't very obvious about it, Zhao Yun still sensed it.
"Lord, are you looking for someone"
Then Zongyu turned his head.
Have you ever seen Zhao Xingzhou's figure appear
Zhao Yun paused for a moment, "You mean the Zhao guard who often stays by the mistress's side"
"It was him."
Zhuge Yun shook his head, “I don’t seem to have seen him. Did Zhao Huwei also participate in this hunt”
Zong Yu whispered orders, instructing someone to find his whereabouts and report back immediately upon success.
Although Zhao Yun didn't know why the Lord had summoned the guards from his house, he still nodded obediently.
"Yes, my lord. I will pass the word down immediately."
As soon as he turned, he caught sight of the elk that they had been leading around until it was almost out of energy. It seemed to be moving again, as if trying to escape once more. He quickly called out a warning.
"My lord, a stag!"
At that moment, Zong Yu immediately drew his bow and arrow from his back. Coincidentally, Hellie appeared just then, his eyes lighting up when he saw the deer, his face beaming with excitement.
"Well now, after all this time browsing around, I finally stumbled upon a piece of prey that looks decent."
He immediately picked up his bow and arrow to shoot the deer not far away, Zhao Yun quickly stopped him in a fit of anger.
"Prince Hel, this deer was found by our lord first. We struggled to tire it out before you arrived. This isn't very courteous of you."
Herlle gave Zhao Yun a direct glare.
"When does a mere lieutenant deserve to speak before this prince"
He directly ignored all caution and drew his bow to shoot the elk. Zhao Yun wrinkled his nose in disgust, wanting to stop him but it was too late. However, with the lord's temper, he definitely wouldn't let Herel do such a thing.
Actually, Hella had released all her arrows, but the elk nimbly dodged them. He was so angry that he shot three more arrows in a row, each one missing its mark, and his face grew increasingly flushed with embarrassment.
But Zongyu remained unmoved, even putting down the arrow he had picked up. He sat quietly on his horse, watching Hellie's performance.
The deer ran away in fright, and Zhao Yun was both angry and speechless.
"Prince Hel, if you had managed to hit it, that would be one thing. Now the deer has gotten away, and our lord spent so long tiring it out until it could barely move, yet you couldn't hit it! Why bother coming up here to steal someone else's prey"
Zhao Yun was also straightforward and blunt, unaware that Hellie had a narrow heart and couldn't stand such words.
He widened his eyes, his face turning ashen with fury.
"What did you say!"
"You ignorant fool, daring to insult this prince!"
"Bring him to me, and execute him on the spot!"
Just then, Zong Yu who had been silent all this time suddenly raised the bow and arrow in his hand. He drew back the string, releasing an arrow with a swift motion. The moment the arrow left the bow, a piercing whistle echoed through the air as it flew towards its target at incredible speed.
Zhao Yun and Hellie unconsciously stopped their argument, everyone's eyes involuntarily following the direction where the arrow was shot.
Herelt raised an eyebrow, peering in the direction the arrow had flown. He twitched the corner of his mouth as if about to mock Zong Yu for shooting a blank arrow when suddenly a horrifying bellow from a deer rang out in his ear.
Zhao Yun couldn't believe it, his voice trembled with both surprise and delight.
"Hurry! Go see if the Lord's arrow hit its mark."
Their guards behind them immediately went to pick up the arrows, and in a short time they returned with the deer that had been scared away by Hellie.
The arrow sticking out of the elk's body belonged to Zong Yu.
"My Lord, you are too amazing! The deer have vanished without a trace, yet you still managed to hit it with one shot. My Lord, your archery skills have improved greatly."
Zhao Yun had long known that Zong Yu possessed the skill of shooting a hundred paces with a single arrow, and that Lord Hou himself was incredibly strong. No matter what kind of bow or crossbow he held, he could exert twice the range and force compared to ordinary people.
This is beyond human capability.
In stark contrast to Zhao Yun's cheerful atmosphere, Hellie's face was practically ashen.
It wasn't just because Zong Yu hit the prey he hadn't aimed for that angered him, but because his arrow had just struck him with a powerful force.
He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
This man before me is terrifying. Four years ago, when I met him in Muzhou, he was just a brute with a bit more strength than an ordinary person. Although Hellie doesn't want to admit it, Zongyu four years ago also gave him a lot of headaches, even pushing him to the brink at one point.
He was saved by the numerous masters of Wuyou Pavilion and his own confidants who arrived at the crucial moment.
During his four years back in Xi Xia, he had continuously improved his martial arts and strength. However, just by seeing Zong Yu's arrow power today, he instantly understood how the Umon army, whose troop strength was several times larger than Da Xi's, could have lost.
Even with the Xixia army and Zongyu at his side, he couldn't guarantee victory against him.
Such a terrifying man, and he's just the husband of that wretched Fang Jinshu, and also an officer under General Daxie.
If Xi Xia wants to take down the territory of Great Xi, they must first get rid of this man in front of them.
Reputation, cannot be left behind.
Just as that thought flashed through his mind, Zong Yu's sharp eyes fixed on him, and Hellie's face instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
The moment their eyes met, Herlert almost thought his thoughts were laid bare for all to see. He broke out in a cold sweat from fright.
"Your Highness, what is the matter"
"My Lord, please calm your anger. This hunting ground is vast, and there must be many large game left. I will immediately dispatch someone to find more for you."
Helle didn't speak, because Zong Yu walked towards him, and he was so nervous that he couldn't hear what his subordinates were saying.
This arrow's power was truly immense. Herlle even thought, if Zong Yu were here right now to make a move, killing him would be effortless.
Wouldn't he be nervous!
Zhong Yu drove his horse closer, and he instinctively took several steps back, staring at Zhong Yu with a wary face.
"What is Marquis Wuding trying to do"
At that moment, a flash of killing intent indeed passed through Zong Yu's eyes.
The fastest and most convenient way to ensure that Jinxiu wouldn't take risks to seek revenge is for him to kill this person first.
As long as Hellie is dead now, no matter what Jinxiu's plan is, it doesn't need to be carried out.
But after shooting the deer, many people gathered around them. Under so much scrutiny, Zongyu had to restrain this killing intent and give up the idea.
Killing Helter in a hunting ground where people are always around is definitely not easy, unless you take him to a deserted place.fficially gotten married, many people already consider Fang Jinxiu to be the future mistress of the Jing Wangfu. It is said that even the Jing Wang's son was saved by her, and the son is very close to...
