Monarch of Evernight: Forty-seven days of Xuanchun Hunting

bsp;Spring hunting is a traditional social activity of the imperial aristocracy to show that the Qin Dynasty built the country with force and never forgot the country's roots. There are many categories depending on the organizers, participants and hunting locations.

The Tianxuan Spring Hunt that Qiqi is about to participate in is the lowest level and is only for young aristocratic children below level seven, including their entourage that cannot exceed level seven.

Specially set up for spring hunting below level seven, there are also two major hunting activities: Emperor Garden and Beihai. Among them, Beihai and Tianxuan are on the same level, while Emperor Garden is sponsored by the royal family and has the highest level. The core heirs of the four great families will all be present, and the major aristocratic families will also send their direct descendants to participate. As for the nobles, except for a few young and talented people, Except for individual invitations, no one is eligible to participate.

The threshold for the Tianxuan Spring Hunt is not that high. At the top of the list of participants this time are two sects, the Yanyun Zhao family and the Gaoling Song family. There are seventeen or eight upper-middle-class and lower-class aristocratic families, and noble families. Nearly a hundred.

Qianye stared at Song Zining's name for a while, and suddenly felt upset. He knew that the sequelae of the advanced blood energy were coming again. The ordinary blood energy was much stronger after the nine paths of blood energy were merged into one, and even the golden and purple blood energy could not be swallowed up. So he became intermittently restless, which actually affected Qianye's mood.

He let out a gentle breath, put down the information, walked into the quiet room next door and began to practice the art of military attack. More force can not only feed the normal blood energy, but also faintly restrain the blood energy in the body, making the boiling blood state more controllable.

Two days later, a "Phenom"-class aerostat capable of traveling between continents took off from outside Xichang City, slowly leaving the Evernight Continent behind it and sailing into the vast void. The floating boat is shaped like a sea boat. The seven-story main building is mainly blue and green and decorated with auspicious animals, which is full of ancient charm.

At this time, the atmosphere on the top floor of the building was tense. Qianye stood by the window, seemingly looking out the window, but his face was gloomy and full of anger. In front of him stood two timid girls in light shirts and hanging skirts, each holding a tray.

Qiqi, who is sitting on the couch at the other end, is smiling like a flower. She is wearing the traditional costume of an imperial noblewoman, with wide sleeves and a silk belt, with a dark black background decorated with aqua flowers. If she could sit more dignified, In other words, she is an out-and-out young lady from an aristocratic family. But she was leaning on the armrest without any manners, holding her chin with her right hand, looking up and down Qianye.

"You promised to protect me!"

"I didn't agree to wear such a thing." Qianye glanced at the tray in the girl's hand with disgust. It was a set of clothes and accessories identical to those on Qiqi's body, that is, women's clothing!

Qiqi said with a smile: "Look, I specially chose this kind of ancient clothes. The difference between men's clothes and women's clothes is the left and right lapels! You can't tell it unless you look carefully. And it only takes the first day. That’s good, when we settle down, we don’t need to see outsiders!”

It turns out that according to the rules of spring hunting, although the followers and guards brought by Qiqi are large in number, they can only form a team of nine people after entering the hunting ground. The extra people are either for logistics or independent hunting.

The spring hunting lasts for one month, of which 15 days involve going deep into the hunting grounds. Qiqi is the legitimate daughter of a noble family, so of course she cannot just hang out with a group of grown men. From an etiquette perspective, she must bring at least one female companion with her to eat and drink together. live. And in the list Qiqi submitted, the female companion was Qianye.

Qianye is deeply suspicious of this inexplicable etiquette.

Qiqi lobbied hard, "Look, Aunt Lan is at level 8 and cannot participate in hunting. These girls are only at level 2 or 3. Entering the core area of ​​the hunting ground will mean death. You promised to protect me!"

The effects of excessive blood intake in the past few days have not completely disappeared for Qianye, and he is particularly irritable and impatient. At this time, he no longer wants to argue with Qiqi, so he turns around and walks towards the door.

Qiqi jumped up and grabbed him, "I can't share a tent with other people! And if you want to sleep with me, if you don't say anything else, my old man will kill you."

Qianye retorted: "I changed into women's clothes, but I didn't really become a woman. We sleep in a tent, doesn't your old man know?"

"Of course he knows. It's not a big deal."

"Then you just said he was going to chop me."

Qiqi said: "All he cares about is the family tradition of the Yin family. As long as the names in the information and in front of everyone are women, then he will pretend that he doesn't know."

Qianye simply didn’t know what to say. He also saw that **** information. Qian Xiaoye! Does Qiqi think that adding the word "xiao" in the middle of her name will make her look like a woman?

In this way, amid the raging anger of Qianye, the aerospace boat crossed the Void Star Road, flew to Jinzhong, an important town in the central part of Qinlu, and landed slowly.

The Tianxuan Spring Hunting is organized by the Duke of Wei who is entrusted with the territory here. The hunting ground is the Tianxuan Mountains to the west of Jinzhong. It is said that the mountainous areas here have different ground veins, which store a large number of rare mineral veins, and the force is very chaotic. Therefore, not only are there various ferocious beasts, but you may also encounter rare and rare herbs. Moreover, according to the spring hunting practice, in order to increase the difficulty, Duke Wei will also put some warriors of the dark race into the hunting ground.

The Imperial Spring Hunt, no matter what level and specification it is, pays attention to actual combat with real swords and guns. When Xijiang Chunshou, who is under the seventh-level general, is facing a small battle with aliens and rebels.

The Spring Hunting Camp was located in the villa of Duke Wei at the foot of Tianxuan Mountain. Said to be a separate courtyard, its size is equivalent to that of a small city. Although there are more than ten aristocratic families and hundreds of nobles participating each time, plus the accompanying guards, the total number exceeds 10,000 people, the other courtyards can be accommodated calmly.

Qiqi took Qianye and a group of escorts to transfer to a small boat at the airship base in Jinzhong Town to go to the spring hunting camp. As the core figure of the younger generation of the Yin family, Qiqi herself has contacts with many children of famous families. When she arrived at the camp, more than ten young and distinguished young people came to the airship base to greet her.

Qiqi was the one who attracted the most attention in the crowd, but when Qianye appeared behind her, she received countless blazing gazes in an instant.

He finally put on the same wide-sleeved uniform as Qiqi, with his half-length black hair hanging down. His face doesn't even need to be particularly disguised. It's just a slight modification of the edges of his eyebrows and eyes, softening the originally sharp and sharp outlines, and his appearance is naturally stunning.

Qianye and Qiqi were almost the same height. Qiqi was in a particularly good mood and her phoenix eyes were particularly charming, but Qianye was extremely cold and almost had a murderous aura standing there. When these young nobles saw the two girls who looked like twins, they were in a state of ecstasy.

Being looked at with such eyes, Qianye's chest was filled with anger, and he had the urge to explode on the spot.

Qiqi was very good at handling such a scene, chatting and laughing with a group of familiar and unfamiliar aristocratic young people, until she boarded the carriage sent by the Weiguo Gongyuan. Qianye followed Qiqi into the car, slammed the car door hard, and blocked the hot gazes of the aristocratic young people, and then said coldly: "I don't like this identity."

Qiqi immediately reassured: "Just show up at the beginning, and after the welcome party is over in the evening, everything will be fine!"

The carriage drove quickly and entered the courtyard assigned to the Yin family. This is a large courtyard with several entrances. It is not only equipped with rockeries, ponds and flower gardens, but also a small hot spring behind the house. The environment is really quiet and elegant. There are several rows of bungalows built in the outer courtyard, which can accommodate hundreds of guards. However, Qianye, as Qiqi's 'female companion', does not have a separate residence, and his residence is arranged outside the master bedroom.

Traditionally, participants of the spring hunt would rest in a separate courtyard for a day to relieve fatigue from the long journey. Some of the accompanying guards will set off early tomorrow morning to the forward base deep in the Tianxuan Mountains to arrange accommodation and logistical supplies. The leaders of the team will wait until everything is ready before setting off.

So this evening, the Patriotic Guild held a banquet for guests as the beginning of the Spring Hunt.

At night, the Wu'an Hall, the largest in the villa, is brightly lit, with maids running around, wine flowing from the fountain, and delicacies flowing from the mountain to the table. Many young talents from aristocratic families gathered together. Among them, most of the men were dressed in imperial military uniforms or samurai uniforms. They were masculine and elegant. The ladies were wearing wide sleeves and silk belts, and they were graceful and beautiful in their movements.

Even among so many handsome men and beauties, Qiqi and Qianye are the focus of everyone's attention. The two wore the same clothes but had completely different temperaments, making them extremely eye-catching when walking among the crowd.

Qianye followed Qiqi closely, without squinting or saying a word. The blazing or jealous eyes around him made him extremely uncomfortable. Since each family's core hunting team has a limit of nine people, they almost always choose members at level six and level seven with their own specialties. In contrast, Qianye is only at level five, which makes him particularly eye-catching.

Miss Qiqi’s hobby for both men and women has long been known, so among the whispers, some were criticizing Qiqi for finding a new toy and bringing it to the hunting ground without knowing its importance. However, the noble youths were not interested in Qianye's strength at all. What they talked about privately was his unique 'temperament', a special temperament that was cold and mixed with a strong murderous aura, which made them feel extremely excited and even shuddered.

Qianye was staring at his toes in despair, listening to Qiqi and a few acquaintances from the same province talking about horse racing from a tea party. Suddenly, a long announcement came from the gate to welcome guests: "Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty , Song Zining is here!”

The noisy hall fell silent, and almost everyone's eyes fell on the door. A group of handsome young men and women walked in surrounded by a gentle and handsome aristocratic young man.

The young man was dressed in a light cyan old-fashioned suit with large sleeves. He was graceful and as gentle as jade. He always had a smile on his face and in his eyes, which made people look forward to him like a spring breeze.

He had no ornaments on his body, except for the row of jade buttons on his lapel, which revealed a faint sense of luxury. The natural blood jade, which is crystal smooth and delicate, and seems to be filled with smoke, is a good medium for the Force. Each one is worth ten thousand gold. A complete set of similar size and texture is almost priceless. Among the four great clans, the Song clan started out as a businessman in his early years. He was the gentlest and most friendly, but he ranked first among the four clans in terms of wealth.

Qianye was stunned for a moment before he recognized that the seventh son of the Song family in front of him was indeed his classmate at the Huangquan training camp. However, Song Zining's appearance had not changed much since he became an adult, but his temperament was completely different.

Everyone around him was whispering about this rising star of the Song Dynasty who had risen like a comet. Song Zining acted extremely low-key. It was not until the Song Dynasty announced the candidate list of successors that he suddenly appeared in people's sight. He even participated in the Spring Hunt today. There is very little information about him from the aristocratic family.

Song Zining walked into the hall, and everyone immediately gathered around to greet him. Even the slightest relationship with the Song family hundreds of years ago was used by some people as a pretext for getting closer.

Song Zining's smile was like a spring breeze, warm and intoxicating. Some noble ladies looked at him with admiration. He answered them one by one as he walked, concisely and politely, not letting anyone fail. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a subtle difference between closeness and distance. The children of aristocratic families receive obviously more attention than the nobles. Those at the top of the aristocratic family and those close to the Song clan will receive more time and attention. look.

These details are the most important test of the social skills of a descendant of a noble family. Song Zining not only had thorough etiquette and no omissions, but also the rare thing was that he dealt with groups of people one by one without any delay, which fully demonstrated that he was a core disciple of the Song clan. His background and talents made many of the older generation present nod secretly.

"I hate this guy very much!" Qiqi whispered in Qianye's ear, seeming to know that he had doubts, and added: "Because the women around him are very annoying."

Qianye then noticed that Song Zining was followed by several girls, including Ye Mulan, but the other few had occasional conversations with Song Zining. They looked intimate and seemed to have an unusual relationship. Ye Mulan, who was dressed up, looked more and more outstanding. She followed Song Zining closely, with a cold and arrogant expression. She didn't even glance at the group of nobles and children of small aristocratic families around her.

Song Zining saw Qiqi from a distance and immediately came over with a smile. He strode up to Qiqi and suddenly looked beyond her, stopping on Qianye's face. The gentle smile that never seemed to change suddenly solidified.
