Chapter 343 Sublimation of Life
As he continued to go deeper into Fanglin Garden, Li Xuan gradually lost sight of the movement around him.
It seems that the route arrangement from the beginning has been set to spread everyone out.
The three little ones rode for a whole day, and they also hunted two hares on the way.
These two hares were shot by Princess Ankang with slingshots.
Although she carries a hunting bow on her back, this bow is only for decoration.
After all, although Princess Ankang has learned to ride horses these days, she has not learned archery.
There is no way to learn the art of archery just by cramming for a few days.
Therefore, the three little ones gave up their plans to learn archery from the beginning and concentrated on learning horse riding.
Anyway, the three of them are good at flinging stones, so they don't lack the means of long-range attacks.
Compared with bows and arrows, the slingshot method is somewhat lacking in range, but it is better because they have been using it for a long time, and its power is definitely far better than that of novice archery.
When they saw these two hares on the road, Princess Ankang planned to give it a try, but she raised her hand and hit the rabbit, which surprised her so easily.
Both rabbits' necks were broken with a precise stone. From the outside, there didn't even seem to be any wounds, so their fur was still intact.
From this point of view, the slingshot method has such an advantage compared to bows and arrows.
After riding for a whole day, the three little ones had already covered nearly two-thirds of the distance.
If we ride for another two or three hours, we should be able to reach the destination where the voucher is.
"I don't know what this certificate is?"
The sky was getting dark, so the three little ones did not rush on their way, but found a forest clearing nearby suitable for camping.
Fortunately, they had learned a lot about wilderness survival in Qianxing Pavilion. Otherwise, they would not have known what kind of place to find when camping.
After tying the horses' reins, the three little ones picked up some dead branches and leaves nearby, and then made a bonfire around a few large rocks.
Because there is a fire break, it is not difficult to make a fire.
It was a rare opportunity for the three little ones to go camping together, and their faces were full of excitement.
Li Xuan took out a hare they had shot earlier from the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
Yu'er concentrated on handling the hare on a cutting board, while Li Xuan and Princess Ankang helped.
She has a full range of tools at hand.
Because of Li Xuan's Emperor's Bone Ring, they never lacked these things when they went out.
In order to prepare for this autumn hunt, Li Xuan's little one also specially stored a large amount of water and dry food in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, for fear that he would not be able to catch prey in the forbidden garden and would starve.
But judging from today's results, starvation seems unlikely.
Along the way, the three little ones saw a lot of prey. Fanglin Garden was full of small animals running around. It really looked like a fish pond for fishing.
In such an environment, if you can still come back empty-handed, you are really a loser.
Yu'er's cooking skills have always been good, and in the past, all the meals in Xianyang Palace depended on her.
But this was her first time handling a freshly caught hare.
Fortunately, Yu'er had done her homework. Although she was a little unfamiliar when peeling off the fur and could not peel off the complete fur, causing some damage, it was already very impressive to be able to do this for the first time.
Li Xuan and Princess Ankang said they were attacking, but in fact they were just watching the fun and cheering Yu'er up.
"Wow, sister Yu'er is so amazing!"
"Meow!"
As Yu'er decomposed the rabbit meat with the fur and internal organs removed, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang on the side suddenly clapped their hands.
Princess Ankang even thoughtfully took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Yu'er's forehead.
Yu'er was praised like this, and the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed.
"The next step is to see what happens between His Highness and A-Xuan."
Yu'er handed Li Xuan the hare stuck on a sharpened branch, and he immediately took it with his tail.
He was the strongest here, so the task of roasting the hare naturally fell to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan used his tail to pick up the branch with the hare on it, and then put it on the fire. The weight was as if it was nothing to him, and it was very easy.
Princess Ankang, on the other hand, was holding a few jars of spices on standby, waiting for Yu'er to give her instructions, and then sprinkle them on at the right time.
Originally, Yu'er wanted to take over all these tasks, but Li Xuan and Princess Ankang had to give it a try, so the current division of labor came into being.
Yu'er washed her hands with a basin of water that had been prepared nearby. She also reminded Li Xuan not to be lazy and turn over the rabbit meat that was roasting on the fire.
The rabbit meat was put on the fire twice, and it immediately began to sizzle and emit oil, giving off bursts of meaty aroma.
At this moment, both Li Xuan and Princess Ankang couldn't help but think of the cute little Tutu when she was alive, and tears of sadness shed from the corners of their mouths.
Even Yu'er couldn't help but make a sound and swallowed.
Even the three little rabbits who eat the royal meal every day will still be moved to tears by the dedication of the cute little rabbit.
After a while, under Yu'er's command, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang completed a tacit cooperation, sublimating the little rabbit's life and turning it into a delicious roast rabbit.
"Chiliu"
The three little ones all licked their lips and wiped away the tears shed for the little rabbit.
The scent of this rabbit meat was only prepared with simple spices. Although it only smelled of plain meat, it aroused their greed.
They immediately removed the two hind legs, which had the most meat, and tore off a large piece of meat from each of them.
The three little ones looked at each other silently, then put the meat into their mouths and took a bite in anticipation.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
The delicious meat juice exploded in their mouths instantly, and the little rabbit finally sublimated the souls of the three little ones with his own life.
They widened their eyes unconsciously, feeling that this simple roast rabbit was much more delicious than the royal meal they usually eat.
Perhaps it is their own hard work that gives their taste buds an extra layer of beautiful filters.
But this is indeed the most real feeling of the three little ones right now.
"Sister Yu'er, the roasted rabbit is so delicious."
Princess Ankang chewed rabbit meat in her mouth and said inarticulately.
"Your Highness, eat more."
"If it's not enough, we'll roast the other rabbit too."
Even now, Yu'er still never forgets to take care of Princess Ankang.
Seeing Princess Ankang being burned, Sihasha opened her mouth to exhale hot air and quickly handed her a glass of water.
Although Li Xuan was also afraid of being burned, he was a warrior, so how could he succumb to such a simple difficulty.
I saw Li Xuan show off the rabbit meat wildly, wait until his tongue was burnt red after eating it, then dip his tongue into cold water to cool down, and then continue to show off the rabbit meat, with great momentum.
Princess Ankang was driven by Li Xuan's momentum, and the movements of her mouth also speeded up. She didn't even know she had a mouthful of meat oil, and Sihasha's speed also increased.
"Axuan, eat slowly!"
"Look what you brought to His Highness."
Seeing that they were eating more and more anxiously, Yu'er quickly advised her, but she was clearly chewing non-stop.
The three little ones started a strange competition for no reason.
After finishing the whole rabbit like a storm, the three little rabbits sat around the campfire, looking up at the sky, each showing their little red tongues that had been burnt, and they were laughing at the stars and the moon.
…
Early the next morning.
The three little ones woke up early in the tent, and the bonfire outside had already been extinguished.
"Your Highness, it's time for us to set off."
Yu'er huddled in bed and said.
"Um."
Princess Ankang murmured in response and tightened the blanket around her body.
Li Xuan opened his mouth, yawned widely, turned over, and squeezed between the two girls.
Unexpectedly, it was only the second day that the three little ones encountered the biggest problem in this autumn hunt.
It's so damn cold in the wild in the morning.
The three little ones just huddled in the same bed last night and slept together.
As a result, before dawn this morning, I was woken up by the cold one after another.
After waking up, even the most diligent Yu'er couldn't break free from the bed.
After a while of silence, seeing that the tent was still full of sleep, Yu'er said worriedly:
"Your Highness, we haven't received our vouchers yet."
After hearing this, Princess Ankang couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Perhaps, this month's competition rewards are useless."
"We'd better lie down for a while while the quilt is still warm."
"It shouldn't be too late to set off when the sun gets higher and it gets warmer."
Princess Ankang analyzed it rationally.
"I heard that last month, the emperor was rewarded with a big house in Changlefang."
"We don't have any use for that kind of thing, so there's no need to work so hard."
Princess Ankang was talking about the eldest prince.
But when he talked about this, Li Xuan remembered something.
Before this autumn hunting competition, Manager Shang had mentioned this month's competition many times and told them to be prepared.
Until now, Li Xuan didn't see anything special about this month's competition.
If you put it this way, there is a high probability that this month’s prize will be extraordinary.
When he thought of this, Li Xuan hurriedly squeezed out of the bed.
"Oh, Ah Xuan, please be more honest."
"If a kitten like you runs out in such a cold weather, your tail will freeze off."
"Axuan, don't you want your tail anymore?"
Li Xuan was the warmest person in the bed, so how could Princess Ankang let him go so easily and hug him to death?
But Li Xuan had his own trick to solve the problem. He turned his head and got directly into Princess Ankang's clothes, and then crawled around in it. Princess Ankang was immediately tickled so much that she laughed so hard under the quilt that she never stopped laughing. Keep Li Xuan's remaining strength.
After Li Xuan escaped from the bed, he couldn't help but shiver.
The autumn morning has begun to feel cold, especially in this forest.
Li Xuan pushed open the entrance of the tent with his head and came outside.
The bonfire has been extinguished, but faint wisps of smoke are still rising into the sky.
Li Xuan looked up and found that the smoke was still very conspicuous.
"It's only the second day now, so it's not bad."
"But when you get to the back, you must pay attention to these."
Li Xuan believed that it was absolutely impossible for those princes and princesses to hunt honestly to the end.
Even the little ones know how to interpret the rules to their advantage, let alone the princes and princesses who are about to reach adulthood.
Even though Princess Ankang can now walk and even ride a horse, she is definitely a soft persimmon in the eyes of others.
Especially this soft persimmon still has the most points so far.
As long as there is a chance, I am afraid that many people will be willing to send Princess Ankang out.
"You still have to get the credentials as soon as possible and then it's best to deal with it."
"If they can come to me on their own, it will save me the trouble of finding them."
"Those princes and princesses are nothing to worry about. They are just their attendants. 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, there would be no need to go on with this game.
Li Xuan didn't quite understand the servants. Logically speaking, they were palace maids or eunuchs who were always by his side.
There is only one maid in Jingyang Palace, Yu'er, so theoretically, Princess Ankang only has one maid.
But as for the others, Li Xuan was a little unsure.
Even those who often stay around the princes and princesses are probably not short of experts.
Based on Li Xuan's experience, the lower third grades are more common, and those above are relatively rare.
Because the personal attendants that everyone brings around are not judged by their strength, but mainly by their ability to see whether the master can use them smoothly or not.
After all, the Ouchi guards are naturally responsible for protecting safety.
In this palace, few people would always keep a master with them.
After all, for these princes and princesses, there is no safer place than the palace.
Among the eunuchs and maids, the most powerful ones were naturally in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and became the eunuchs in colorful clothes.
In other words, the strength of the attendants accompanying this time is probably lower than that of the flower-dressed eunuchs. If they can have the strength of sixth or fifth grade, they should be considered to be incomparable.
After all, Xu Lang, who can be the leader among the colorful eunuchs, is only at the fifth level.
Li Xuan estimated the strength of his opponents this time and felt confident.
Even if there are opponents that he cannot match, Li Xuan has his own methods.
Therefore, it shouldn't 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 safest way is to eliminate all other players.
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, flicked his tail, and the huge tent disappeared immediately, leaving Princess Ankang and Princess Ankang huddled in the bed. Yu'er is exposed.
Without the cover of the tent, the two girls were immediately exposed to the biting autumn wind, and they were so cold that they shivered in bed.
"Axuan, just wait for me!"
…
After getting up early, the three little ones finally started their journey again for the next day.
Li Xuan looked around seriously in case there was an ambush nearby.
His body didn't move at all, but the field of vision in front of him was constantly 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 crossbow, guarding the surroundings.
Ever since Li Xuan collected Princess Ankang's tent in the morning, she had been tormenting Li Xuan all the way.
Suddenly, several wild geese flew over their heads. Princess Ankang immediately set up Li Xuan and aimed at the wild geese in the sky. She imitated the sound of a crossbow arrow and made two "whoosh" sounds.
Li Xuan meowed helplessly, but couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained in his heart:
"Bows and arrows are carried on the back as decoration. Do you understand how to use this crossbow?"
