Catch and release white fox

  Yongzhao's soul was still unsettled, and the scene just now had frightened him out of a cold sweat. Even though the tiger was already dead, his hand was still involuntarily trembling slightly, and if it weren't for Ilachi supporting him by his side, he wouldn't have had the strength to steady the reins in his hand.

  If he had known it would be so perilous, he wouldn't have agreed to let Emperor Ama be so willful and reckless even if he were dead. Only now did he somewhat understand the words Yong Yi used to console him that day: "Our Emperor Ama is not only extremely willful and selfish, but also the most ruthless person in the palace."

  The guard who was closest to the tiger hastily stepped forward and carefully examined it, confirming that the tiger had indeed stopped breathing and was thoroughly dead. He then quickly came before Long Huan Tian, knelt down, and reported: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on personally hunting down a female tiger."

  The guards around him also reacted and hurriedly knelt down, saying in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

  Long Hui Tian did not notice the reaction of the guards at this moment, but was completely immersed in his own thoughts, and the reason was that he had just shot and killed the tiger with a single arrow.

  The position of this arrow was extremely precise, avoiding the tiger's hardest skull and shooting directly into the tiger's brain from its weakest right eye. Ordinary people might think it's just a superb Dragon Hiding Heaven Arrow Technique, but if someone who understands sees it, they won't think so superficially.

  Because two inches behind the eyes is the reaction nerve center, whether it's killing a person or hunting an animal, this is one of the most accurate, fastest and safest methods.

  His accuracy and feel have not regressed much, which is the most satisfying place for Long Yintian, but the power of this arrow compared to his previous life is much weaker. Although this arrow has almost completely entered the tiger's brain, only a small part of the arrow tail remains outside.

  But unfortunately, it's already quite good to have such a result, and he also understands that many things can't be forced.

  Although the guards were congratulating the emperor on killing the tiger, Yongzhao was still worried that the emperor might have been injured, so he hastily dismounted and rushed to Longyitian's side. Without noticing his own unstable breathing, he subconsciously grabbed Longyitian's arm and anxiously asked: "Your Majesty, are you alright? Were you hurt by the tiger?"

  Long Yintian finally came back to his senses, raised his hand and patted Yongzhang's shoulder, softly comforting him: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

  It can be seen that Yongzhang was also frightened by the thrilling scene just now, so Longyintian did not continue today's hunting activity, but instead ordered the guards to take this tiger and slowly ride back to the camp with Yongzhang.

  As the hunting party returned one after another, the news of the Emperor's successful tiger hunt quickly spread throughout the camp. By the time of the evening banquet, certain officials who were skilled at flattery and sycophancy naturally had plenty to say, talking about what a great blessing it was for the Qing dynasty and how the Emperor's benevolence was boundless. Listening to this, Long Huan Tian couldn't help but feel amused in his heart.

  It was those few Mongolian princes who spoke the truth that pleased him, and after being delighted, he naturally rewarded many things to the princes of various departments.

  It was originally a political activity, and the real purpose was to contact and exchange with the Mongolian kings, while hunting was just an attachment.

  After settling the official business, Long Yitian did not forget what he had said earlier. For those who performed well in today's hunt, he not only gave verbal praise but also specially rewarded them with lamb meat that he had personally roasted, which was more precious to his subjects than gold and silver.

  Of course, he also gave each of the three brothers a piece, only slightly less to Yongzhang and a bit more to Yongqi and Yongyu.

  Although Long Yitian was only allocated in this way because of his connection to Yongzhao, in the eyes of those ministers it was not that simple, especially for those old and cunning guys who thought more.

  Although Long Yinheng had been talking to the Mongolian princes and nobles from start to finish, he also carefully noticed every person present, and naturally noticed Yong Yao's somewhat abnormal silence and Yong Qi's spirited and cheerful appearance.

  Sitting next to Yong Yao, Yong Bi was always revolving around him, as if thinking of ways to make Yong Yao happy, and even his Ama was rarely noticed; however, Yong Yao seemed to not give Yong Bi any face, still speechless with a pursed mouth, feeling like someone owed him money.

  This scene actually piqued Long Yintian's interest, because he was very clear about Yongbi's temperament, who had always been the kind of person who would rather have one less thing to worry about. Yet today, Yongbi was going out of his way to revolve around Yongyao, which seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it. Perhaps this child Yongyao really did have a way to tame the mischievous Yongbi.

  After ending the extremely boring banquet, Long Yitian returned to the main tent and sent someone to summon Yong Yao, Hong Zhou, and Yong Bi. He wanted to ask what had happened that day, which could make Yong Yao, who was usually carefree, sullen for an entire evening. He also wanted to know who had the audacity to offend a legitimate prince.

  After a moment, Yong Ruo and Yong Bi arrived together. It was clear that Yong Ruo was still brooding over the events of the day, so his face didn't have its usual bright smile. His tightly pursed small face actually reduced some of the childishness on him, and added some of the air of royalty instead.

  After the ceremony, Yong Yao hadn't waited for Long Yitian to ask questions before he carefully slipped away and began to pour out his grievances: "Imperial Father, I really had a streak of bad luck today. Not only did that hypocritical guy ruin my mood, but I also didn't manage to catch the prey I originally wanted to give to Imperial Father. Imperial Father, you... won't blame me, will you..."

  Long Hui Tian thought that it was those clumsy and incompetent slaves who made Yong Yu's heart uncomfortable, so he didn't think much about it and opened his mouth to comfort him: "Yong Yu, you are here for the first time in Mulan hunting, not having a big harvest is normal, besides, you are still young, being able to have this kind of filial piety is enough, I won't blame you."

  Yong Yao immediately retorted, "It's not that I'm not skilled enough, I had already caught him, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere and he was let go by someone else."

  "Oh, there's actually such a thing?" Long Yitian was more incomprehensible than surprised.

  It's said that Yong Yu is also a favored brother, but unexpectedly, there are people who would give up such a good opportunity to perform and instead sing in opposition to him; taking a step back, even if that person didn't know that the prey was shot by Yong Yu, at least they should have known what the yellow silk on the arrow feathers represents.

  If this is really true, then such a person can indeed be considered a rare treasure among millions.

  Yong Bi stood by silently, adhering to the rules without speaking a word, but his gaze remained fixed on the interactions between Yong Yu and the Emperor.

  After all, the emperor was his uncle, but the distinction between monarch and subject was far more important than those individual blood ties, which he still understood very clearly. So he could play with Yong Yao, be casual in front of Hong Xiao, but absolutely not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Emperor.

  However, Long Yintian did not plan to listen to only one side of the story from Yong Yu, after all, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and it was normal for him to exaggerate on purpose.

  Then he looked at Yongbi with a profound meaning and asked slowly: "Yongbi, tell me what's going on."

  "Yes, that... I'll tell the truth." Yong Bi recounted the events of the day in detail, without hiding anything, including the part where Yong Yu wanted to snatch his pistol. His tone was even and unbiased.

  It's actually quite simple, Yong Yao wanted to use the white fox to give to the emperor, but it was let loose by Fu Cha Hao Zhen, the son of Shuo Qin Wang, and not only did Fu Cha Hao Zhen not know his own mistake, he also blamed Yong Yao for being so cruel and ruthless at such a young age, which made Yong Yao furious.

  Long Hui couldn't help but chuckle twice after listening to the conversation. He finally understood why Yong Yu was so angry. When facing someone who is superficially kind and righteous, yet extremely self-righteous, it's impossible to reason with them. Moreover, Yong Yu's eloquence wasn't great, so it's normal that he would be at a disadvantage.

  "Alright, Yongyao, stop pouting...", Long Yitian said while comforting Yongyao and pinching his cheek, "You're the older brother, no need to get worked up over someone with no manners."

  Although Yong Ruo's expression had eased somewhat, he still couldn't completely let go of the resentment in his heart: "But Fifth Uncle said that white fox is extremely rare, and since we didn't catch it today, it'll probably be even harder to encounter one again in the next few days. I was thinking of giving it to Imperial Father as a birthday gift..."

  Actually, through Yongbi's narrative, Longyintian was quite satisfied with Yongyu's performance today. So he didn't want Yongyu to be disappointed by this small matter and spoil the mood for the next few days. He raised his hand and patted Yongyu's shoulder, saying: "You have this kind of thought, I'm already very happy, gifts are secondary, how about...next time when you come to Mulan again, you can hunt a better one and give it to me?"

  Yong Ruo heard that he would have another chance to come to Mulan, his heart couldn't help but move, and he hastily nodded, "Yes, I will personally hunt for an even better one to give to the Emperor!"
