[R18] Looking for her in the crowd – “Looking for her in the crowd” Shura Field [English]

Chapter 94

The war drums were beating, the flags were flying, and the emperor led everyone into the hunting ground. Uncle Sun held the bridle, and Duke Wei accompanied him. The guards cheered in front of and behind, guarding the surroundings of the school grounds.

As the high-profile prince, Rong Chen should have walked beside the emperor, but when he saw the third prince riding a horse past him like a chariot, and occupying the seat on the right side of the emperor, he only looked at him contemptuously, and held the reins with his slender hands to stop the dissatisfied white-tied crow beneath him. He touched the erect horse’s ears and said, “Don’t argue with him.”

The proud horse neighed, its strong hooves scratched the ground, and slowed down reluctantly.

There was another horse approaching beside him, and the clatter of horse hooves was very powerful.

Rong Jue was at the front of the hunting team. At this time, Rong Chen slowed down and naturally walked into line with he.

“His Royal Highness, stay well.”

The gentle voice seemed to be mixed with the winter ice. Under the ice, a huge beast was eager to break through the ice.

“Your Majesty, you are well.”

The phoenix eyes smiled and glanced at the horse under him.

“Your Majesty’s horse seems to be different from the original one?”

Rong Jue turned his head. The man next to him was wearing silver-white armor and a crow-green cloak. His handsome jade face was made more noble by the rich black. He knew that Nong Nong had always disliked such a cold man.

Caressing Qingzhuo under him, Rong Jue said in a gentle tone: “This horse is a weak horse that Nongnong and I picked up at the racecourse.”

Halfway through, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Rong Chen: “Oh, I forgot, this is an old thing, I probably haven’t mentioned it to you.”

Rong Chen’s face remained as handsome and indifferent as ever, but the white-hooked crow beneath him suddenly scratched its hooves uneasily, and the master’s hand hidden under the cloak somehow grasped its mane so hard that it hurt.

Rong Jue glanced at the unusual white hoofed crow and continued:

“At that time, it was still a little pony, helpless, rejected by its own kind, weak and afraid of strangers, but not afraid of me and Nong Nong. Nong Nong saw that it was really pitiful, so she brought it back.”

When talking about old things in the past, his eyes unconsciously became gentle.

“But my uncle and aunt discovered it within a few days. The Duke’s Palace did not allow Nongnong to raise it. Nongnong could only keep it here with me. Every once in a while, I would sneak out to see it.”

Rong Jue took Qing Zhuo forward and took a few steps forward. The two of them were not far away from each other originally, but now they were even closer, as if they were discussing today’s weather with the prince, with their expressions as usual.

A warm voice floated into Rong Chen’s ears:

“Nong Nong and I both named him together. She said that when Qingzhui grows up, she will ride with me through the mountains, rivers and lakes of Yunmeng.”

Rong Chen listened quietly without any sign of anger.

“I don’t know that the prince is a person who is obsessed with the past.”

Rong Chen said after touching the trembling body of the horse beneath him.

“If the past is worth dwelling on, you can always keep yourself alert, why not?”

Rong Jue took a few steps back and looked at the hunting ground not far away. Overlapping mountains, clear water flowing eastward, beasts coming and going, and birds circling. Next, it is bound to attract countless young men to compete with each other.

“It’s nothing wrong. Since the prince is so obsessed with old things, this palace naturally has no right to interfere. However, given the current situation, the prince’s old dream may not come true in this life.”

The corners of Rong Jue’s mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were like black jade stars, deep and unpredictable.

“Prince, let’s wait and see.”

“Hu–” The hunting whistle sounded, and the emperor gave the order. He rode his horse forward, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at a quail flying in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the arrow from the string hit the bird. It whined and flapped its wings a few times before falling down.

“Your Majesty, what a skill!” The crowd around him suddenly burst into admiration.

“Everyone can now spread out and hunt separately. We should follow the past rules. Whoever catches the most prey after two hours will be the winner.” The emperor was satisfied that his sword was still young and touched the golden bow and said to everyone.

“Yes!” Yunmeng’s young men took the order and rode off one after another.

There were many rare birds and animals in the hunting ground, and soon a few falcons flew over, flying across the sky as fast as lightning.

“Whoosh -” A cloud-piercing arrow shot out of the air and hit the one in front. The arrow was very powerful. The arrow shaft passed through the belly of the first one, and the arrowhead came out from the back of the second one. It actually killed two birds with one stone.

Rong Chen put away his bow and arrows, turned his head in the autumn wind, and looked at Rong Jue: “Your Majesty, please do not fall behind others.”

There was a touch of mockery on the noble face, and under the cover of the black jade dragon crown and the crow-green cloak, the aura of an emperor was fully displayed.

After that, he pulled the reins, and the white hoofs under his crotch were like thunder, and the four hooves were filled with wind, carrying the master towards the distant mountains.
