illage isn't a secret, you should advise him against acting rashly."Hearing her words, Zong Yulian truly eased her grip and continued to feed Su Yusheng the medicine in small bites.Those who saw it we...Chapter 1155: She's Exposed

Zhao Yun had already had the deer shot by Zong Yu sent to the emperor's tent. Those who came around were all there to witness the demeanor of Marquis Wu Ding, and most of them flattered him.

After discussing excitedly for a few moments, everyone dispersed and continued hunting.

Zhuge Yun stared in astonishment as the King stood motionless before Hellie.

"My lord, let us go as well. We shouldn't disturb Lord Herl while he continues the hunting competition."

Helle, now under immense pressure, also wished that Zongyu would leave quickly. He really didn't want to see his terrifying face right now.

Zong Yu's aura was even more imposing than four years ago. Being stared at by him felt like being watched by an extremely dangerous wild beast, making it hard to breathe.

Just when everyone thought Zongyu would turn around and leave with his subordinates, he opened his mouth and said something that shocked everyone.

"Prince Herl, welcome as a guest. I will hunt with you and help you process the game."

"Consider this as a gift to make up for you not hitting the moose earlier."

Zong Yu has always been disdainful of the polite formalities common in official circles. He rarely engages in such niceties because no one dares to make him.

So when Zhao Yun heard him say that he was going to hunt with Hell-fire next and help prepare the game as an apology, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Is this still the Duke he knows

No, the Lord usually wouldn't say something like that. He must have another plan.

Zhao Yun stood silently at the back, clenching his jaw and waiting for an opportune moment to act.

Zong Yu was very satisfied with Zhao Yun's reaction. As expected of a good brother who had been through life and death on the battlefield with him for many years, their tacit understanding was far beyond ordinary people.

But the expression on Herrler's face was a sight to behold – utterly ghastly, with an air of disbelief etched into his features.

"You said you wanted to travel with me"

He realized that Zong Yu must not have good intentions, and his first reaction was to refuse outright.

But Zong Yu saw through his intentions first. He learned a trick from his own daughter-in-law and took the lead, speaking before him.

"Your Highness wouldn't dare to stop Zong from following me, would you"

“Are you afraid of me”

Bully tactics work wonders against someone with an inflated ego. Hellriegel's pride wouldn't allow him to admit his fear in front of all his subordinates.

The refusal felt stuck in my throat, neither coming out nor staying down, it was incredibly uncomfortable.

In a gaze that was resolute and unwavering, he forced out a sneer.

"What kind of joke is that This prince would never be afraid of a mere soldier like you."

Zongyu didn't give him any chance to refuse, and took the lead by pulling on the reins and walking two steps forward. Then he turned back.

"Then, your highness."

Since Jinshu's goal is Hellie, instead of searching for Zhao Xingzhou in the woods, it would be better to wait here and see what happens.

He stayed by Hellie's side, in case Zhao Xingzhou made a move he could react accordingly.

Looking at Zong Yu's actions, Herlle cursed in his heart countless times, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth and follow along. Not following would mean he was afraid of the other party.

As the prince and future heir to the throne of Xixia, he absolutely could not show weakness in front of foreign generals. This would become a black mark on his history for all time.

He would never allow it.

The consequence of trying too hard was that for more than an hour, Helre didn't manage to hit a single target.

Before Zongyu followed him, he could hunt some small animals with his own skills even without snatching others' prey.

Now that's fine, he was just about to shoot a wild rabbit. He had a hundred percent chance of hitting it, but Zongyu's horse suddenly whinnied the moment his arrow left the bowstring.

The duck that was about to be eaten flew away, and the rabbit ran off in fright.

Hellie's face was full of displeasure, but Zongyu simply gave a nonchalant apology.

"Sorry, I was startled."

Want to curse.

Just stand still and don't move, the horse won't even flinch!

The black horse beneath Zong Yu looked much stronger than the white one he was riding. At a glance, one could tell it was a battle-hardened, spirited steed.

How could this horse be startled in front of a rabbit He clearly intended to bully me, scaring away his prey!

Even so, Hellie's anger wanted to boil over. He wished he could kill Zong Yu on the spot to vent his rage, but he couldn't.

Because I can't win.

This is Daxie's territory. Zongyu could kill him and his subordinates single-handedly. Even Hellie, with his bad temper, could only endure this situation.

Little grudges lead to big disasters!

"Your Highness is angry" Zong Yu took two steps forward and asked in a light, almost oblivious tone.

Herla almost choked on those words.

"Not angry," he gritted out.

Zong Yu was satisfied, he nodded. "It's good that you're not angry, there are plenty more prey, Your Highness still has time."

"There is only half an hour left until the hunt ends."

The sun was gradually setting in the west. There would be a bonfire gathering in the evening, and as usual, the emperor would have people select a few of the game hunted by representatives from various countries to be roasted and distributed to everyone for a shared feast.

Four countries with ulterior motives are pretending to be harmonious and peaceful.

Fan Jinshi, disguised as Zhao Xingzhou, finally found Heling's trace in the vast hunting ground. When she saw that Zong Yu was also by his side, Fan Jinshi was stunned.

What is Ayou doing beside Herrell

Could he have found something

It's impossible, my plan was so perfect, how could Ayou find out.

Fang Jinshi's mind raced through countless contingency plans, but none seemed feasible.

With her reputation, she would be caught the moment she appeared.

According to her original plan, she was going to poison the pelt of the prey and then drive the poisoned prey toward Helre.

When he had finished hunting his prey, with his arrogant and conceited nature, he would definitely have people bring the prey to him. For this day, Fang Jinshu specially developed a poison that could fuse into a deadly toxin just by smell.

The first step of the poison was complete the moment Herlt caught a whiff of the medicinal scent on the prey's fur.

By the evening bonfire gathering, he would surely be drinking. The people of Xixia loved alcohol like their lives depended on it, and Hellie had been keeping an eye on Herle Lie da Xi these past few days. She had found that he also drank almost every day.

As long as he drank at night, the alcohol would merge with the toxins previously absorbed into his body, forming a different kind of instantly lethal poison. From poisoning to toxicity, it would only take a moment.

He is sure to die!

And with such actions, no one would be able to find out about her, coming and going unseen. She could take his life without a trace, like a ghost in the night.

But sometimes human ingenuity surpasses calculations. She never could have predicted that Ayou would team up with Herrelight.

If poisonous prey were driven towards him, A-Yu would also be in danger.

Fang Jinshui hesitated for a moment, and the little goat holding the medicine in her hand actually broke free when she was distracted.

She was shocked and reached out to grab it, but it was gone.

The startled kid leaped forward at lightning speed, appearing in Hercule’s line of sight in a flash.

This plump little lamb immediately caught Herlit's attention. He had been holding a grudge ever since Zong Yu let a wild rabbit escape earlier.

This little goat will take it no matter what.

Helle drew his bow and shot several arrows at the young goat. The first few missed, but the last one struck its leg, crippling it.

"Wonderful, Your Highness! I got it, I got it!"

Fang Jinshu saw this and frowned deeply, only focusing on her annoyance and worry, unaware that Zong Yu's gaze had long been fixed on her.

She has been exposed.oking at her younger sister's soft and sincere apology, Fang Jinxiu couldn't really get angry.If you have to get angry, it's best to direct that anger at this girl who doesn't know how to take care of...
