The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"What time is it?" the emperor asked while sitting on the high platform.

Du Fucheng glanced at the corona, and replied: "It's almost noon."

"How is the situation in the mountains?" Zhao Zhang shook his head after asking, knowing that there is no answer to this question for the time being. How are they now and what are they doing.

Du Fucheng knew what he was thinking, bent down and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, your majesty, Xiao Lingzi came just now and said that Master Shen and the others had brought a lot of things up the mountain. Take the lead."

Zhao Zhang didn't care about Shen Jia's achievements, but he was afraid that he would be in danger, "Should Jiayi still follow him?"

"nature."

How fierce the competition in the mountains is. The people down the mountain don't know it. They dance, drink and have fun together. It's a rare relaxing moment. After noon, the imperial chef served elaborately made Roujiamo and a large bowl of mushrooms for each person. Pheasant soup.

This kind of lunch can be called simple, but the officials saw that the emperor had a big mouthful, and they were not hypocritical. They took a bite, and the outer bun was baked crispy, and the roast meat inside was delicious, and there were some vegetables to relieve the greasy taste. It's not a rare delicacy, but it's still good for a full meal.

This hunting ground is not comparable to military camps or palaces, and there is no place for the imperial chef to display his talents, so he can only deal with a simple meal. At night, it must be a barbecue. The team that wins the leader can present the prey to the emperor, and the food that can be selected by the emperor It's a worthy death.

In the mountains, Shen Jia and Xu Ran had been busy non-stop for two hours. The weather was cold, and the snow fell on the cloak and turned into water, which soon soaked the cloak, and it was cold and heavy to wear.

Shen Jia simply took off the thick cloak, revealing a silver-white riding outfit. Although it was cold, she could work much more quickly.

"How long will it take to finish?" Shen Jia asked.

Although Xu Ran is young, he is extremely careful in doing things. He has to confirm every step before he dares to start. The trap that he thought he could do in half a day also took a lot of time.

He wiped the snow off his face, straightened up and said, "Hurry up, it will take half an hour at most, and the last step is short, but it's better to make some cover, otherwise it will be too easy to be discovered."

"It's natural, I've been prepared for a long time." Shen Jia dragged out a few pieces of turf-like things from the box, lightly covered the trap, and then picked up some dead branches and leaves and threw them on. A dying wild rabbit, bloodstained all the way from the mountain road, looks like a prey that escaped after being shot.

"It's done!" Xu Ran said happily, he walked a little farther, and looked around their traps, except for the net hanging high in the sky, the rest of the things were well hidden, without knowing it, Absolutely no abnormality can be found.

Shen Jia finally hung a few bamboo pots on a big tree. Inside the bamboo pots was the drug he had carefully prepared by the imperial physician. The amount of drug was large enough to stun ten elephants. Ten warriors is unlikely.

Seeing him climbing down from the tree, Xu Ran said with a smile, "This trap moves the whole body with one hair, I really want to see its power." It's a pity that they can't get too close, otherwise, with the vigilance of those masters, they will definitely be able to catch him. If you find them, all your efforts will be for naught.

"Let's go, let's go to another location." The location of the trap was chosen by Shen Jia. The two shuttled through the woods, following the route marked by the Jinwu Guard, and did not meet anyone from other teams along the way.

Cui Xiuzhu threw away the hoe, tapped his sore arm, and asked Cao Ruiwen, "Aren't we a little stupid for doing this? It's a good hunting competition and we dig traps here, even if we win, it would be disgraceful, right?"

Cao Ruiwen was lying on the ground pulling the line, a thin fishing line was shuttled across the grass, and the other end was pulling the traps, all the traps could be triggered with just one move.

He replied without raising his head: "Didn't you say that, hunting doesn't mean that you can't use heresy tricks, as long as you can win. This trap is so subtle, you might be able to use it after you learn it."

Cui Xiuzhu felt that Shen Jia must have done it on purpose, and the trap assigned to them was the most labor-intensive. He dug a deep pit all morning, spread a layer of oilcloth in the pit, and then uncovered a jar and poured the liquid into the pit. There was an indescribable smell emanating from it.

"What is this? Such a stinky smell, do you think others are fools?"

Cao Ruiwen tied the last knot, got up and walked over, stirred the jar with a branch, took a look at it, and sniffed it at a close distance, "Shen Jia explained that this thing should not touch the skin, it must be a poisonous liquid, I don't know what it is."

"He really dares, what if someone is poisoned to death?"

"That shouldn't be the case, he has a sense of proportion."

"I don't see any measure in him."

"Don't talk about it, quickly cover up the pit. It's about the same time, check it again when it's done, and then you can evacuate."

"We don't have to stay here? What if no one passes by? What if those people fall into the trap and escape?"

"You forgot, if this mechanism is triggered, there will be smoke rising up, we can see it from a distance, and it will be fine to come back and clean up when the time comes."

It happened that Shen Jia and Xu Ran walked over, they didn't dare to get too close, and asked, "Do you need help?"

Cui Xiuzhu felt bad, and suddenly wanted to see what would happen after Shen Jiazhong's trap. He deliberately waved at them and said, "Master Shen, there is something wrong with a position, please come and help me."

Shen Jia was here to help, she didn't become suspicious when she heard this, she used her memory to avoid the location of the triggering mechanism, stood not far from them and asked, "Which place hasn't been fixed?"

Cao Ruiwen gave Cui Xiuzhu a warning look, but the latter didn't look at him, and said with a smile: "It's that big hole. We always feel that it is not perfect after covering it. It looks fake. I don't know how to improve it."

Because Shen Jia knew the location of the pit, she could tell where it was at a glance. She had preconceived ideas and really felt that it was not perfect.

He took a step forward, and was about to pick up some branches and leaves to cover, when he saw Cui Xiuzhu walking around behind him out of the corner of his eye, and when he turned around, he happened to see the other's hand that was too late to put away.

"Master Shen..." Xu Ran screamed, and Cao Ruiwen yelled angrily, "Xiu Zhu, stop!"

Because Xu Ran was far away, it was too late to save Shen Jia, and there was a flat ground in front of him, so it didn't matter if he pushed someone there, but he quickly realized that the area where Shen Jia was standing should already be in a trap , if the mechanism is triggered...

Shen Jia laughed angrily, stepped on the tree trunk behind her with one foot, grabbed the opponent's hand with the other, and asked, "You are still a seventh-rank petty official even now with your little ability."

Cui Xiuzhu didn't feel ashamed at all of being caught doing something bad, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I was joking, otherwise how could I push you so lightly."

"Isn't it because you are not capable enough to push me away?" Shen Jia withdrew her long legs. The moment just now was an instinctive reaction. Fortunately, there was a big tree behind him, otherwise the step would have hit me. organ.

"Hehe, you're joking. I'm really joking." Cui Xiuzhu was dragged away by Cao Ruiwen as soon as he finished speaking, and said to him in a cold voice, "If you don't want to participate, you can quit, and I'll send you down the mountain now."

"Brother Cao..."

Xu Ran stopped them angrily, "It's so easy to leave after doing something bad? At least I have to apologize, right?"

Cao Ruiwen looked at him gloomyly, "Young Master Xu, time is limited, we can discuss personal grievances after the competition is over. Both of us can be witnesses today, and we will definitely not let him escape. Are you sure you want to argue here?"

Xu Ran glanced at Shen Jia, who checked the traps here, covered up a piece of uncovered fishing line, clapped his hands and walked over, "Let him go down the mountain first, the time is almost up, we should go back to harvest the fruit Yes, although I have calculated the route, there is no guarantee that they will not take another route, and if they deviate, we must find a way to attract them.”

Xu Ran yelled at Cui Xiuzhu and the two, "It's shameful to have a teammate like you. I didn't expect people from a dignified family to be so narrow-minded!"

Shen Jia ignored them and left along the way they came. Xu Ran quickly followed, like an angry little leopard, punishing Cui Xiuzhu's evil deeds all the way.

Shen Jia was actually not too angry. The relationship between the two has always been bad. Cui Xiuzhu is definitely not a gentleman. Cannon fodder.

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it for someone like him."

Xu Ran puffed his face and said: "They are like this, I don't know if they will deliberately hold us back. If I knew it, I would have refused them to join."

Shen Jia picked up a long branch as a stick, shook his head and said, "Cao Ruiwen is still very steady, with him around, Cui Xiuzhu can't do anything wrong."

"I used to admire him very much. You don't know. He solved a shocking case at the age of 15 and became famous. At that time, I was young and grew up listening to his stories. Now he is rising every step of the way. He is so young. I'm already a fourth-rank official, and my father used to provoke me a lot, I didn't expect him to be such a person." Xu Ran said angrily.

Shen Jia's eyes flashed, and she asked him with a smile: "Oh? Why did you say that? He didn't do anything?"

"Hmph, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. How can his friend be so good? And he obviously indulged Cui just now."

Shen Jia couldn't tell how she felt about Cao Ruiwen, and she couldn't say they were friends, but so far, the two of them hadn't had any apparent disputes, even if others always compared them.

But in his heart, he was always somewhat resistant to Cao Ruiwen, and he didn't know if it was because he was too close to Zhao Zhang.
