Chapter 343 The Sublimation of Life

As he went deeper into Fanglin Garden, Li Xuan gradually lost track of the surrounding movements.

It seemed that the route had been arranged at the beginning to disperse everyone.

The three children rode for a whole day, and they also hunted two hares on the way.

These two hares were shot by Princess Ankang using the stone slinging method.

Although she carried a hunting bow on her back, this bow was only for decoration.

After all, although Princess Ankang learned horse riding in the past few days, she did not learn archery.

Archery is a skill that cannot be mastered by just a few days of cramming.

Therefore, the three children gave up the idea of ​​learning archery at the beginning and concentrated on learning horse riding.

Anyway, the three of them knew the stone slinging method, so they did not lack the means of long-range attack.

Compared with bows and arrows, the stone slinging method is somewhat lacking in range, but they have been using it for a long time, and the power is definitely far better than the shooting skills of beginners.

When they saw the two hares on the road, Princess Ankang decided to give it a try. As a result, she raised her hand and hit the hares, which was so easy that she was a little surprised.

Both rabbits had their necks broken by a precise stone. From the outside, it seemed that there was no wound at all, so the fur was still intact.

If we look at this point, the stone slinging method has such an advantage over the bow and arrow.

After riding for a whole day, the three children had already traveled nearly two-thirds of the distance.

If they ride for another two or three hours, they should be able to reach the destination where the certificate is.

"I don't know what this certificate is?"

As the sky gradually darkened, the three children did not rush to continue their journey, but found a clearing in the forest nearby that was suitable for camping.

Fortunately, they had made up a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild in Qianxing Pavilion before, otherwise, when camping, they would not know what kind of place would be more suitable.

After tying the reins of the horses, the three children picked up some dead branches and leaves nearby, and then surrounded a bonfire with a few large stones.

Because there was a fire starter, it was not difficult to make a fire.

The three children had a rare opportunity to go out camping together, and their faces were full of excitement.

Li Xuan took out a wild rabbit they had caught earlier from the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

Yu'er was concentrating on processing the wild rabbit on a chopping board, and Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were helping her.

She had a full range of tools at hand.

Because of Li Xuan's Emperor Hong Bone Ring, they never lacked these things when they went out.

In order to prepare for this autumn hunting, Li Xuan and the three children also specially stored a large amount of clean water and dry food in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, fearing that they would not be able to catch prey in the forbidden garden and would go hungry.

But judging from today's results, going hungry seems unlikely to happen.

Along the way, the three children saw a lot of prey, and the Fanglin Garden was full of small animals running around, which really felt like a fish pond for fishing.

In such an environment, if you can still return empty-handed, you are really too bad.

Yu'er's cooking skills have always been good. In the past, all the meals in Jingyang Palace were solved by her.

But it was her first time to handle a newly caught hare like this.

Fortunately, Yu'er had done her homework. Although she was not familiar with the process and failed to peel off the complete fur when peeling the fur, which caused some damage, it was already amazing that she could do this for the first time.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang said they were helping, but they were actually just watching the fun and cheering Yu'er on.

"Wow, sister Yu'er is so amazing!"

"Meow!"

As Yu'er separated the rabbit meat with the fur and internal organs removed, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang on the side immediately applauded.

Princess Ankang even took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Yu'er's forehead.

Yu'er could no longer suppress the smile on her face after being praised like this.

"It's up to your highness and Xuan to do it next."

Yu'er handed the hare with a sharpened branch to Li Xuan, who immediately took it with his tail.

He was the strongest here, so the job of roasting the hare naturally fell to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan used his tail to hold the branch with the hare, and then put it on the fire. This weight was like nothing to him, and it was very easy.

Princess Ankang was holding a few jars of spices and waiting for Yu'er to give her instructions, and then sprinkle them on at the right time.

Yu'er originally wanted to take care of all these tasks, but Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were determined to try it, so there was a division of labor in front of them.

Yu'er washed her hands with a basin of clean water that had been prepared long ago, and did not forget to instruct Li Xuan not to be lazy and turn the rabbit meat that was being roasted on the fire.

The rabbit meat was put on the fire and blasted twice, and it immediately began to sizzle and emit a burst of meaty aroma.

At this moment, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang couldn't help but think of the cute appearance of the little rabbit when it was alive, and sad tears flowed from the corners of their mouths.

Even Yu'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva with a gulp.

Even the three little ones who eat imperial meals every day will still be moved by the dedication of the cute little rabbit and cry endlessly.

After a while, under Yu'er's command, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang completed a tacit cooperation, sublimating the life of the little rabbit and turning it into a delicious roasted rabbit meat.

"Slurp~"

The three little ones licked their lips together and wiped away the tears they shed for the little rabbit.

The fragrance of the rabbit meat was only prepared with simple spices. Although it smelled just plain meaty, it aroused their appetite.

They immediately removed the two hind legs with the most meat and tore off a large piece of meat from each of them.

The three little ones looked at each other silently, and then put the meat into their mouths and took a bite in anticipation.

Puff, puff, puff!

The delicious gravy exploded in their mouths instantly, and the little rabbit finally sublimated the souls of the three little ones with its own life.

They unconsciously widened their eyes and felt that this simple roasted rabbit meat was much more delicious than the imperial meal they usually ate.

Perhaps it was the hard work they put in that gave their taste buds an extra layer of beautiful filters.

But this is indeed the most real feeling of the three little ones at the moment.

"Sister Yu'er, roasted rabbit meat is so delicious."

Princess Ankang chewed the rabbit meat in her mouth and said inarticulately.

"Your Highness, eat more."

"If it's not enough, we roasted another rabbit as well."

Even at this time, Yu'er still did not forget to take care of Princess Ankang.

Seeing Princess Ankang being scalded, Shashaha opened her mouth and exhaled hot air, and quickly handed her a glass of water.

Although Li Xuan was also afraid of being scalded, he was a warrior, so how could he succumb to such a simple difficulty.

Li Xuan was seen showing off the rabbit meat crazily, and when his tongue was burned red after eating, he dipped his tongue into cold water to cool it down, and then continued to show off the rabbit meat crazily, with great momentum.

Princess Ankang was driven by Li Xuan's momentum, and her mouth movements also accelerated, and she didn't know that she was covered with meat oil, and Shashaha's speed also increased.

"Ah Xuan, eat slowly!"

"Look at what you brought to His Highness."

Seeing that the two of them were eating more and more anxiously, Yu'er hurriedly persuaded them, but she was clearly chewing non-stop in her mouth.

You are faster, I am faster, and the three little ones inexplicably started a strange competition.

After finishing the whole rabbit in a whirlwind, the three little ones sat around the campfire, looking up at the sky, each showing their red tongues, still looking at the stars and the moon, laughing.

...

The next morning.

The three little ones woke up early in the tent, and the campfire outside had long been extinguished.

"Your Highness, we should set off."

Yu'er said while curled up in the quilt.

"Yeah."

Princess Ankang murmured in response and tightened the blanket around her.

Li Xuan yawned with his mouth open, turned over, and squeezed between the two girls.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, the three little ones encountered the biggest problem in this autumn hunt.

The morning in the wild was so damn cold.

The three little ones just curled up in a quilt and slept together last night.

As a result, they were woken up by the cold one after another before dawn this morning.

After waking up, even the most diligent Yu'er failed to break free from the quilt.

After a while of silence, seeing that the tent was still sleepy, Yu'er said with some concern:

"Your Highness, we haven't received our vouchers yet."

Princess Ankang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this:

"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Perhaps, the rewards for this month's competition are very tasteless again."

"Let's lie down for a while while the quilt is still warm."

"It shouldn't be too late to set off when the sun rises and it gets warm."

Princess Ankang analyzed with reason.

"I heard that last month, my brother was rewarded with a big house in Changlefang."

"We don't need that kind of thing, so there's no need to work so hard."

Princess Ankang was talking about the eldest prince.

But when it comes to this, Li Xuan remembered something.

Before this autumn hunting competition, Shang Zongguan had mentioned this month's competition many times and told them to be well prepared.

Until now, Li Xuan didn't see anything special about this month's competition.

In this case, it is likely that the prizes this month are very unusual.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan hurriedly squeezed out of the quilt.

"Hey, Ah Xuan, be honest."

"It's so cold, if a little cat like you runs out, it will freeze off its tail."

"Ah Xuan, don't you want your tail?"

Li Xuan was the warmest in the quilt, and Princess Ankang would never let him go easily, holding him tightly and refusing to let go.

But Li Xuan had his own tricks to crack it. He turned his head and got into Princess Ankang's clothes, then crawled around inside, which immediately made Princess Ankang so itchy that she laughed in the quilt and fell backwards, and there was no more energy to hold Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan escaped from the quilt, he couldn't help shivering.

The autumn morning was already cold, especially in this forest.

Li Xuan used his head to push open the entrance of the tent and came outside.

The bonfire had gone out, but wisps of light smoke were still coming out and drifting into the sky.

Li Xuan looked up and found that the smoke was still very conspicuous.

"It's only the second day, so it's not so bad."

"But later on, you must pay attention to these."

Li Xuan believed that those princes and princesses would never hunt honestly until the end.

Even those little kids knew how to interpret the rules to their advantage, not to mention those princes and princesses who were about to grow up.

Even though Princess Ankang can walk and even ride a horse now, she is definitely a soft persimmon in the eyes of others.

Especially this soft persimmon has the most points so far.

As long as there is a chance, I am afraid that many people are willing to send Princess Ankang out.

"We still have to get the certificate as soon as possible, and then it is best to deal with it."

"If they can come to the door by themselves, it will save me the effort of looking for them."

"Those princes and princesses are not to be worried about, but the attendants around them, I don't know if I can deal with them."

Li Xuan estimated that there would definitely not be that kind of old monster among the attendants accompanying the princes and princesses this time.

Otherwise, this competition would not be held.

Li Xuan's understanding of attendants is not very clear. In theory, they are palace maids or eunuchs who are always by their side.

There is only one palace maid, Yu'er, in Jingyang Palace, so in theory, Princess Ankang also has only one attendant.

But Li Xuan is a little unsure about other people.

Even those who often stay by the side of the princes and princesses are probably not lacking in experts.

According to Li Xuan's experience, the lower three ranks are more common, and the ones above are less common.

Because, the strength of the attendants brought by each person is not judged by strength, but mainly by their eyesight and whether the master can use them easily.

After all, the security matters are naturally done by the inner guards.

In this palace, few people will always bring masters with them.

After all, for these princes and princesses, there is no safer place than the palace.

Among the eunuchs and palace maids, the strongest ones are naturally in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and become flower-clothed eunuchs.

In other words, the attendants accompanying this time are probably below the flower-clothed eunuchs, and having the strength of the sixth or fifth rank should be considered the top.

After all, Xu Lang, who can be the leader of the flower-clothed eunuchs, is only the strength of the fifth rank.

Li Xuan estimated the strength of his opponents this time, and he felt confident.

Even if there are opponents that he cannot match, Li Xuan has his own way.

So, it should not be a problem for them to get a good result this time.

The main thing is how to get the first place.

In fact, the most reliable way is to eliminate all other contestants.

Li Xuan was outside the tent, thinking for a while, and found that the two girls inside still had no intention of getting up. He immediately came to the side of the tent and gently flicked his tail. The huge tent suddenly disappeared, exposing Princess Ankang and Yu'er who were curled up in the quilt.

Without the shelter of the tent, the two girls were immediately exposed to the cold autumn wind, shivering in the quilt.

"Ah Xuan, wait for me!"

...

After getting up early with difficulty, the three little ones finally set out on the second day's journey again.

Li Xuan looked around with a serious expression to prevent an ambush nearby.

His body did not move at all, but the vision in front of him kept changing.

It turned out that Princess Ankang was holding Li Xuan seriously at this time, holding the two hind legs with one hand and the two front legs with the other hand, as if holding a cat crossbow, alerting the surroundings.

Since Li Xuan closed Princess Ankang's tent in the morning, she has been tossing Li Xuan all the way.

Suddenly, a few wild geese flew over their heads. Princess Ankang immediately set up Li Xuan, aimed at the wild geese in the sky, and imitated the sound of a crossbow arrow firing, making two "swoosh" sounds.

Li Xuan helplessly cooperated with a meow, but couldn't help rolling his eyes and complained in his heart:

"Bows and arrows are carried as decorations, do you know how to use this meow crossbow?"
