Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"you!"

The fourth prince Ning Xiao never imagined that Ning Fan would dig a hole for himself.

You know, in Dakang's hunting grounds, there are clear regulations. Once there are pregnant animals, they cannot be killed.

Once found out, you will be reprimanded!

Some of the harvest from hunting will also be deducted.

The fourth prince Ning Xiao's face gradually turned from the proud one in front of him to extremely ugly.

"Lao Liu, have you discovered that this prey is pregnant? Did you deliberately not kill it, just to lure me into taking the bait?"

The fourth prince said with a sullen face.

"It's nothing, I just haven't confirmed it yet!"

Ning Fan flatly denied it.

"Let's go!"

The fourth prince did not take advantage and looked unhappy.

He led his men on horseback and walked back into the jungle, continuing to hunt the surrounding prey.

In fact, Ning Fan knew very well that the fourth prince came here specifically to suppress the large number of prey in his area instead of hunting them. In fact, he made it clear that he wanted to suppress Ning Fan.

The fourth prince and the prince had a tacit understanding, and the two of them fought back and forth, but it was nothing.

But if Ning Fan wants to have a hand in the drama of seizing the heir, that won't work, so the two of them temporarily stopped their activities and secretly joined forces to kill Ning Fan.

Sure enough, just as the fourth prince left, the prince's team also arrived on the other side. A large number of prey were driven out of the water forest and concentrated into a mountain col, where they were shot one by one by the prince.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, could only watch from the side.

"Your Highness, if this continues, we will definitely fall behind."

Cheng Dong said in a low voice.

Autumn hunting is related to his future.

Not only Cheng Dong, but also the other Wen family brothers were anxious.

Ning Fan said calmly: "What are we afraid of guarding this river?"

Autumn is the dry season, and when other places lack water sources, this river becomes a source of life.

Although the prince and the fourth prince hunted everywhere and harvested a lot, the two of them took the initiative and drove the prey everywhere.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Ning Fan and his people were waiting by the river.

When those driven tired animals came to drink water, they became Ning Fan's prey.

Ning Fan was hiding in a tree holding a compound bow. His targets were usually strong or elderly animals.

As for some young animals, they were all released by Ning Fan.

"Your Highness, after preliminary counting, we have hunted at least more than 70 prey! Most of them are large prey, more than 40 of them!"

Cheng Dong said excitedly, his voice trembling.

Ning Fan admired Cheng Dong for both his strategy and hunting skills.

The Wen brothers were also busy transporting the prey, all of which had their left ears cut off as trophies, while the rest were gathered together to wait for the imperial guards to collect them.

"Actually, more than seventy prey are already far ahead. We don't need to continue hunting!"

Ning Fan said to everyone.

His words were equivalent to a discussion and an order.

Judging from the situation of autumn hunting over the years, indeed, the average harvest is only twenty or thirty.

Seventy prey is indeed far ahead, and you can get the jackpot even if you lie down.

So Ning Fan made this decision, and no one raised any objections.

"Your Highness, I'm just wondering. This river runs through the hunting ground. Why did you choose such a geomantic treasure?"

Cheng Dong expressed his doubts.

Of course, this is also the doubt in everyone's mind.

"It's simple. The water flow in this area is slow and the terrain is gentle!"

Ning Fan explained.

No one expected that the answer was so simple, and they were all stunned for a moment.

"Okay, we have hunted so many animals, left some to eat, and sent the rest away!"

Ning Fan ordered.

Everyone agreed and started taking action.

Luo Yong came over, pointed to the dense jungle on the other side of the river and whispered: "Your Highness, the river in Qiu Hunting Ground is actually a moat! It completely cuts off this area from the outside! I suspect that the spies are The hiding place is on the other side of the river!”

Ning Fan stared at the dark trees on the other side of the river, with a look of thought in his eyes.

"If it is really an enemy spy, then my father is the primary target! But it seems a little strange that these people did not take action against my father! Forget it, just wait and see what happens."

Ning Fan whispered.

In the next few days, Ning Fan did not lead the crowd to hunt, nor did he snipe at the animals that came to drink water.

Instead, he sleeps during the day and waits energetically at night.

Sure enough, hard work pays off.

That night, when Ning Fan was explaining special tactics to Luo Yong, the bell beside him suddenly made a series of crisp sounds.

"Someone?"

Ning Fan and Luo Yong looked at each other and stood up suddenly.

"Don't panic yet, it's possible that some animal has sneaked into this area."

While Ning Fan put on the armor, he asked Luo Yong to put on the recently made gas mask.

This so-called gas mask is actually animal skin plus carbon powder. Although the filtration performance is not as high as that of modern gas masks, it still has the basic function.

The two people who put on masks quickly arrived outside the tent. At this time, Ning Fan noticed that the sentries at the observation post were motionless.

And on the ground not far away, there were several smoking incense sticks!

"It's them again!"

Luo Yong pulled out the saber from his waist and was furious.

Ning Fan reached out and grabbed Luo Yong's wrist, pulling Luo Yong quickly back into the grass aside.

"Don't make any noise and see who it is."

Ning Fan whispered.

There was another series of crisp sounds, and then Ning Fan saw five tall men wearing masks walking out of the woods.

The masks on the faces of these people are very distinctive, and you can tell at a glance that they are not from the Central Plains.

The Huns advocated witchcraft culture, and the shamanic runes were engraved on the mask!

"It's the Huns!"

Luo Yong gritted his teeth and said.

He never expected that the Huns would sneak into the hinterland of Dakang, and not only that, they would be so close to the emperor of Dakang!

"What do these people want to do?"

Ning Fan frowned and thought.

"Your Highness, it will be too late if we don't take action."

Luo Yong gritted his teeth and said.

Ning Fan nodded, took out the sword from his waist and rushed out.

Luo Yong followed closely and drew out the sword from his waist...

Ning Fan moved very quickly, and before the other party could react, the sword pierced the throat of one of them.

The other four people reacted with horror in their eyes, because they never expected that someone would still be awake under the thick smoke.

What made these people even more horrified was that the mask on Ning Fan's face was something they had never seen before.

Luo Yong also moved quickly. He came from the side and slashed one of them on the neck.

The man grabbed the knife with his hand, his body slowly went limp, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
