My British Empire

On the way back, Edward rode a horse, and had a pleasant exchange with this half-father John Perrot, the young and handsome illegitimate son, while walking on the way back.

As for the big stupid bear, with a rope tied to its abdomen, it walked on four legs and followed step by step. While looking at Edward with a salivating expression, his saliva drooled all the way, irrigating the trees with a lot of water. It is expected that within a few months, the trees will grow more vigorously.

Edward was riding alongside John Perrott on horseback. On the left was his bodyguard, and on the right was John's bodyguard. The eyes between the two were wide-eyed and vigilant.

But Edward and his illegitimate son John didn't care, they were still chatting happily.

Edward, why do you think of hunting at this time? Hunting is forbidden in spring!

John glanced curiously at the distinctive horn bow in Edward's hand, and compared it with the longbow in his own hand. His face was full of curiosity, but he still held back and asked softly about hunting.

Well, I'm just bored, and I'm not going to hit those pregnant animals. I just have itchy hands and try my hand at it!

Of course Edward knew the default rule of not being able to hunt in spring, but as the owner of this forest, it was not a matter of when to hunt.

Edward did not pay attention to why John could go hunting in his territory. There is still a tacit understanding among the nobles. It is very common for nobles to hunt as long as they are not excessive.

But if it is a civilian, it is completely different.

After answering the question, Edward also started to ask questions.

Mr. Perrot, it seems that you often hunt here! You must be familiar with this place, so can you show me the way later, I am dizzy about this place!

Edward is actually curious about this illegitimate son. You know, before, he lived with his stepfather in Pembrokeshire, Wales. How did he suddenly end up in Kent, which is adjacent to London and east of London? coastal counties.

I just moved here recently, and I'm new to this forest, so I'm afraid there's nothing I can do!

With that said, John made a helpless expression.

Then, you must be proficient in bows and arrows! This is much better than me!

After getting the answer he wanted, Edward flattered him a little.

John blinked his eyelids when he heard such a question, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing that his heart was happy at this time.

And in him, he didn't have the perverse and arrogant temper of the noble children at all, but he appeared very humble.

He waved his hand and said indifferently:

As for bow and arrow, I'm just a little bit proficient, and it's far from being fully proficient. Compared with you, I just practiced a few more years!

Edward smiled inwardly when he heard the words, your modesty is obviously not modest, it really left me speechless.

He could only echo a few words softly and continue chatting.

Looking for the way to come, Edward took John Perrot for nearly half an hour, walking slowly all the way. When he looked up, the sun had already climbed very high, and it was almost noon.

Seeing this, Edward had no choice but to urge the horse under his crotch to speed up with the whole team.

After walking for less than ten minutes, they soon came to the original starting point.

And in this open space, guards came out of the forest one after another, each carrying the corpses of animals, large and small, and placed them on the open space, showing off to other passing guards.

Look, this is a big wild boar. It must weigh five hundred pounds. This is a big guy. I have lost a lot of strength!

Let me tell you guys, I must be the champion, that's for sure!

Before Edward walked out of the forest, such a voice came to his ears. When he walked out, he saw a man with a beard covered in mud and leaves. His clothes were torn into several pieces, and he looked like a beggar. , the original age of 20 years old suddenly became 40 years old.

There was a wild boar lying in front of it, its eyes were wide open, and three sharp arrows were stuck in its neck, and blood was continuously flowing from the wound. It looked like it was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

The wild boar's long tusks, sharp and dense hair, and its huge size all showed everyone how powerful it was during its lifetime.

And this guard, who can catch a target that brown bears dare not provoke, does have great courage and wisdom, and is a man who can be made.

When the others heard what he said, they stopped in front of him one after another, admiring the wild boar on the ground, but they could only acquiesce in his bragging.

For a moment, his chin almost went up to the sky.

Indeed, you are indeed the champion!

Quietly walking out of the forest, no one has noticed the arrival of His Majesty the King, but as soon as his voice came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Regardless of whether they were watching the fun or playing with their prey, they all bowed their heads and said respectfully: Your Majesty—

En—— Edward snorted softly, but turned his gaze to John Perrott.

This handsome illegitimate son's complexion was extremely colorful, first it turned from white and tender to ruddy, then pale, and then turned red.

On the other hand, the faces of his two attendants were extremely pale. Obviously, they remembered that they once aimed their bows and arrows at the king.

After a while, resolute expressions appeared on their faces again.

And this handsome illegitimate son reacted extremely quickly. After a quick change of look, he bent down, touched his chest with his left hand, and said respectfully: Please forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty the King!

I didn't say, how would you know, it's not too late to know now!

Edward said softly with a smile on his face.

Your mind is really admirable! John raised his head slightly, still complimenting.

Edward also smiled, and did not continue to answer the conversation. He met a man on the side of the road, and he became a king in a blink of an eye. It was indeed a test of one's heart.

Your Majesty, you are back! On the other side, two pretty maids hurried over, saluted lightly, and walked up to him quickly, looking left and right, as if they wanted to Find out what's coming.

After the two maids were satisfied, Edward broke away from them and came to the warrior who defeated the wild boar.

I don't know your name yet, Mister Warrior!

The spring breeze was blowing on Edward's face, tickling the guard's heart.

Your Majesty, my name is Ben, from Ben in Hampshire!

The young man glanced at his clothes embarrassedly, bent down, and replied respectfully.

Did you really kill this wild boar?

Edward asked, pointing at the wild boar that was still bleeding.

Of course, my lord, I spent a whole morning hunting and killing this alone!

In order to kill this big guy, I have gone through untold hardships, thanks to the blessing last time!

As he said that, it seemed that recalling the scene of hunting, Bane still had a look of fear on his face.

I think you can be called 'Bane the Pig Slayer'!

As he spoke, Edward couldn't help laughing.
