Pei Jiaoran held the reins and stroked the horse's mane. Although there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble.

"Your Majesty, you're not scared, are you?" Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows, "No matter how noisy you are next time, I can't guarantee where the arrow will hit."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing. The two rode away one after another. After running a certain distance, I looked around and saw no one. The two simply dismounted and led the horses for a walk in the forest.

There are many grasses and dense forests, and you can only hear people's voices, but you can't see them. This dynasty is more open than the previous dynasty. There are many women in the four hunts a year, and there are many who can win the first place. In addition to clan members, there are also many noble ladies from aristocratic families participating in this year's spring hunt.

Although there was only one high-ranking concubine in the palace, Concubine Zhang, the ninth concubine was not absent, so the place was still quite lively. Under the protection of the guards, the concubines held arrows and hunted forest animals. Laughter from far to near.

Pei Jiaoran listened quietly to the conversation of the concubines and curled his lips.

"I seem to have heard them mention your name?" Li Xiujing frowned and looked in the direction of the source of the sound, "It seems that you are a good match for King Wu."

"The prince married a girl from Jingzhao Wei. The Wei family is a veteran of three dynasties. Don't look at Zhao Guogong's indifference now. If he really wants to take action, no one should give her a little favor." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile in his peach blossom eyes. "If King Wu wants to overpower the prince, it's best to start from his family background. But the families are not alone in the court, so they will not choose him easily. As for me... If King Wu is tired of living, I will ask your majesty to marry him. I’m not incapable either.”

She is not an ordinary official, she is the minister of Zhongshu in charge of other provinces. Many important military and national affairs have to pass through her hands. Emperor Wei would not put her in Princess Wu's position. He was worried that in Princess Wu's position she would cause disaster.

Li Xiujing smiled and said, "You little fox, no one can subdue you."

"But I can capture you." Pei Jiaoran raised his arm and drew his bow. The arrow hit a lynx running out of the grass.

He leaned over to look at the lynx that she had shot in the leg. The lynx stared at her with a vicious look on his face, and when he saw her approaching, he let out a series of roars, as if to warn her not to come close.

With a slight sneer, Pei Jiaoran reached out and grabbed the back of the lynx's neck and pulled it up from the ground.

"Don't move." Pei Jiaoran comforted the lynx and pulled out the arrow from its leg. The moment the arrow was pulled out, the lynx let out a wail.

The lynx, which had been fierce just now, was staying obediently in Pei Jiaoran's hands without struggling. Just looked straight at her.

"This lynx is quite smart. It knows that you are not something it can mess with." Li Xiujing stretched out her hand to caress the lynx, "This fur doesn't grow well. Otherwise, if you keep it for a few years, you can still peel it off and make a body." Qiu Yi.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the lynx was still well-behaved. He fluttered and struggled under Pei Jiaoran's palm, revealing a pair of sharp teeth toward Li Xiujing.

"See, it doesn't like you." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

"Anyway, as long as you like me." Li Xiujing chuckled.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing, picked up the lynx and put it on the horse, letting it lie on it.

After all, letting the prey die is not a skill, but keeping the prey alive is a skill.

Two people and one lynx walked around in the forest for a few times and found a lot.

Looking at the prey that the two men tied up immediately, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "It looks like we can have a good meal tonight."

"Xiangong Pei is here. It's easy to find a way to harm this king."

King Wu's voice floated out from the forest and fell into their ears.

Hearing the sound, he turned to look at King Wu and saw the prince coming with him. A smile appeared on Pei Jiaoran's face, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Wu."

King Wu jumped off his horse, pointed to the horse held by his attendants, and said with a smile: "This is a good horse, my king. I would like to ask Mr. Pei to taste it and see if I can give it to my brother."

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips at the horse, which was being held by his servants with squinting eyes, but was still restless.

"General Li, what do you think of His Majesty King Wu's horse?" Pei Jiaoran turned his eyes and said with a smile.

"The so-called good horse must have three characteristics." Li Xiujing glanced at Pei Jiaoran from the corner of his eye and said sternly: "First, it is fast. It can make sudden changes in the decisive battle between the enemy and ourselves. Second, it is agile and can walk on any terrain as if it were flat ground. , San Na is a strong horse, the more fierce the fight, the more powerful the horse is. "

Hearing this, King Wu smiled. He turned to the prince and said, "Brother, I'm not lying to you. My horse is indeed a good horse."

Staring at King Wu, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly. The King of Wu has always been a young son with a naughty temperament. He likes fine wine, fine clothes, hunting and fun. He looked like he was begging for praise from his brother. Although it was completely opposite to his usual behavior, he still had a hint of perversity. There's even a bit of danger in it.

The prince is exactly the opposite of King Wu, he is calm, reserved and reserved. There are too many things on my shoulders and many considerations. Even though the reserve position was stable, the relationship between father and son was actually alienated from Emperor Wei. Rather than saying that there is a deep love between father and son, it is better to say that the current feelings between Emperor Wei and the prince are out of satisfaction with the heir to the empire.

After thinking about it, Pei Jiaoran said coldly: "King Wu, this horse hasn't been trained yet, has it?"

"I don't dare. This horse never lets me get close to it." King Wu shook his head and smiled slightly, "My eldest brother is both civil and military, and he is also proficient in riding and shooting. Why don't you try this horse? Maybe you can train it."

"solitary……"

"Your Highness, I am willing to tame this fierce horse for you." Pei Jiaoran stopped the prince and shook his head.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Pei." The prince withdrew his hand at the right time and said kindly, "But I still have to give it a try myself."

The horse brought by King Wu was not equipped with a saddle. The prince grabbed the horse's mane, used the force to flip it up, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. Just as Pei Jiaoran thought, this horse has never been tamed. As soon as he got on it, the horse raised its forelimbs, trying to throw him off.

"Brother, be careful." King Wu said.

Hearing this, the prince ignored him and devoted himself wholeheartedly to training the horse. The horse had such a bad temper that it couldn't throw the person off its back, so it just started running rampant in the crowd. The people around her were so shocked that they ran around and avoided her.

"Watch out!" someone shouted.

The prince looked arrogant as he stroked the horse's mane.

However, the next moment, the horse suddenly raised its hind hooves and threw him off. Fortunately, she held on to the reins tightly and was able to avoid falling off the horse.

"Brother, why don't you give up now?" King Wu shouted.

"It doesn't matter. I have the emperor's royal aura to protect me, so why should I be afraid of mere beasts." As he said this, the prince tugged hard and used the momentum to flip back on the horse.

I rode on the horse and ran back and forth several times. The horse gradually calmed down and stopped running around.

"Prime Minister Pei, give me the riding whip!"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran threw the riding whip to the prince. After being whipped several times with the whip, the horse raised its hooves and neighed a few times, but never made any drastic movements again.

"Congratulations to the prince for training a good horse." Pei Jiaoran said loudly.

"Brother, you are very capable."

Looking at King Wu, the prince smiled and said, "This horse is a good horse. But it is really impossible to raise it in the solitary palace. My second brother should keep it by himself and raise it well. Maybe you will become more compatible with it."

After being blocked by the prince's words, Wu Wang was about to speak but saw that the prince had already led people away, and even Pei Jiaoran and Li Xiujing were nowhere to be seen.

"This king is so angry." King Wu said angrily.
