Chapter 344 - 344 First Place
344 First Place
The prey in front of Qiao Yanhui were piled up into a small mountain. Most importantly, Ao Heng saw a tiger among them! Tigers were the king of the mountains, so this was a slap in the face to Ao Heng, the king.
“Very good!” Other than this, Ao Heng couldn’t say anything else. He glared at Qiao Yanhui, who didn’t even look him in the eye, and said in a low voice, “Today’s first place is…”
However, before Ao Heng could finish announcing, he heard an anxious childish voice. “Wait!”
Yuan’er rushed over on a black horse. His small figure was a little disheveled, and there were some bloodstains on his body.
Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to check Yuan’er’s body, but Yuan’er gently pushed her away, indicating that he was fine. His expression was extremely cold as he said, “My results haven’t been announced yet!”
Everyone laughed. There was no one picking up prey for Yuan’er, so didn’t that mean that Yuan’er had not hunted a single prey? Yuan’er had gotten himself injured, but he actually wanted to participate in the competition? However, in the next second, their smiles froze.
A team behind him was running over with difficulty while carrying prey. Every one of them was carrying several preys in their hands. There were actually tigers and black bears!
Everyone looked at Yuan’er in horror. These were the prey such a small child caught? Impossible! Someone must have helped him.
There were indeed people who helped Yuan’er, but Yuan’er himself did most of the work. He used all his martial arts techniques today and even scattered knockout powder.
As Ao Heng looked at the tiger in front of Yuan’er, his expression darkened. He felt a metallic taste in his throat, as if he was about to spit something out. He hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and coughed twice. When the silk handkerchief was removed from his mouth, the bright red color made Ao Heng’s pupils dilate. He had actually vomited blood!
Ao Heng put down the bloody handkerchief calmly. No one could know about this. Otherwise, he would lose his throne.
After everyone put down the prey, Yuan’er said, “Alright, announce the results now!” Then, he looked at Qiao Yanhui with a smug expression. He had won this time!
Qiao Yanhui raised his eyebrows slightly.
However, this instantly made Yuan’er feel dejected. Alright, he still lost to his father, but he didn’t lose on the surface. He had Xu Sizhi follow Qiao Yanhui and tell him in real time how much prey Qiao Yanhui had hunted, and what Qiao Yanhui had hunted. Only when Qiao Yanhui stopped did Yuan’er finally relax. Otherwise, with his small body, how could he have lasted until now? Of course, if not for the knockout powder and hidden weapons, he would have collapsed long ago.
In order to completely defeat Qiao Yanhui, Yuan’er hunted another small animal. He took a long time to find the last prey, which delayed him. As for the other people, he ignored them.
Ao Heng endured the bloodiness in his mouth and shouted coldly, “First place for today’s hunting competition goes to Qiao Yuan!”
When Qiao Yanhui officially added the three children to the family tree, the children’s names were officially changed to Qiao Yuan, Qiao Ting, and Qiao Xue.
Ao Heng’s original intention was to let Qiao Yanhui and Ao Jie fight, but now, his plan was disrupted by a child. Although he was very angry, this was only the first day, so it wasn’t over yet.
Because Ao Heng vomited blood, he wanted to go back and rest. After all, there was a bonfire party at night. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone in the next second.
The fourth consort pounced in front of Ao Heng and cried bitterly. “Your Majesty, please uphold justice for us!”
Xu Qing was carrying Yuan’er down from his horse. Yuan’er let Xu Qing carry him down and didn’t act bashful because he was really too tired at this moment. When he heard the Fourth Consort wailing, he subconsciously widened his eyes in startlement.
Seeing this, Qiao Yanhui carried Yuan’er over and transferred internal energy to him. As Yuan’er leaned against Qiao Yanhui’s broad arms, he fell asleep quickly.
The fourth consort was still wailing. The crown princess, Lin Xia, also cried as she complained that Xu Qing had gone too far. She looked at Ao Jie aggrievedly, but Ao Jie didn’t even look at her.
When Ao Heng heard this, he was happy that he finally had something on Xu Qing. Unexpectedly, Ao Li’er interrupted. “Brother, things are not as they say.”
