Chapter 286 Yue was kidnapped 44 rescue
In the dense forest, many animals were chased by countless teams and could only flee in panic.
In order to save his mother, Yue Xing'a led his men directly into the depths of the dense forest in search of large prey, without even looking at the fleeing small prey.
"Master, look, there's a tiger over there. If we can kill it, we'll definitely win a good prize."
The guard behind Yue Xing'a saw a tiger with half of its body exposed not far away, and immediately rode his horse to Yue Xing'a's side and excitedly reminded him in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yue Xing'a looked over and saw a tiger behind the bushes not far away. He was delighted.
The tiger not far away was very observant. It immediately noticed something and looked over here with sharp eyes.
The two sides looked at each other. The tiger saw that there were several people in Yue Xing'a's group, all of them were fierce and full of blood. It looked for a while, a look of wisdom appeared in its eyes, and suddenly turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
Seeing this, Yue Xing'a hurriedly tightened his grip on his horse and chased after him, shouting:
"Chase."
The two sides chased each other and fled. After several rounds of confrontation, Yue Xing'a finally shot an arrow into the tiger's neck, and the injured tiger finally collapsed.
Yue Xing'a could no longer contain his excitement upon seeing this, and a hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes. With this tiger, he would definitely get a good ranking today.
However, just as the guards rode over to take the tiger away, an arrow suddenly shot from another direction into the dead tiger.
At the same time, an arrogant voice came:
"Go and get my tiger back quickly. With this tiger, I will be able to make my mother proud this time."
When Yue Xing'a heard the familiar voice, his excited face froze instantly and he suddenly looked at Yuzhu, his second half-brother, who was not far away.
But the pressure in the mansion made him feel suffocated. Yue Xing'a gritted his teeth and chose to endure it:
"Second brother, I have already shot this tiger dead. It is my prey."
Yu Zhu opened his mouth exaggeratedly when he heard this, and said with a grin:
"Hey, isn't this Big Brother? Big Brother, this is what you did wrong. What do you mean by your prey? It's obvious that I shot the arrow in this tiger. Why don't you bring the tiger to me?"
"Yes."
The guards behind Yuzhu were arrogant and looked down on everyone. They didn't care about Yue Xing and Ananda's expressions at all and rode their horses towards the tiger.
Seeing this, Yue Xing'a's face became even uglier. He clenched his fists tightly. If he had let Yuzhu win on normal days, it would have been fine. But this time the Manchu-Mongolian competition was about saving his mother, so he absolutely could not let Yuzhu take the tiger away. So he gritted his teeth and said:
"Yuzhu, the tiger was already dead when you shot it. There are witnesses here. You know what happened. The prey belongs to me. If you want to rob it, you have to step over my dead body."
After hearing this, Yuzhu couldn't help but look at his cheap brother in surprise.
This guy usually behaves submissively in front of my father, so why is he acting so abnormal today? I narrowed my eyes, unable to guess the reason for his abnormal behavior.
But he wanted the tiger, so why not just not let him get what he wanted...
So he raised his eyebrows and said:
"Big brother said so, but little brother insisted."
After saying that, he winked at the guards around him, and they immediately aimed their arrows at Yue Xing'a.
Yue Xing'a didn't expect that Yuzhu would actually dare to point an arrow at him. What's more important is that Yuzhu was more favored than him and had more than twice as many guards around him as him, so he had almost no chance of winning against him.
But when he thought of his mother who was cruelly turned into a human pig by Li Si'er and whose life was worse than death every moment, his eyes turned red and he suddenly clenched the bow and arrow.
In any case, the tiger is his today.
"I said, if you want to take the tiger away, you have to step over my body first."
After saying that, he quickly took out an arrow from behind and aimed it in the direction of the jade pillar.
Yuzhu's pupils suddenly shrank. This cheap big brother actually meant it. Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a cold voice interrupted.
"What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Xing'a and Yu Zhu looked over and saw the expressionless Fourth Prince riding a horse and walking towards them.
"This servant greets the Fourth Prince. May the Fourth Prince be blessed."
Although the Fourth Prince was not favored, a prince was still a prince, and no matter how unfavored he was, he was still the emperor. Yue Xing'a and Yuzhu quickly put down their bows and arrows, dismounted quickly and saluted.
The Fourth Prince nodded and asked again what happened.
Yu Zhu's eyes rolled and he spoke before Yue Xing'a, turning the matter upside down and saying that Yue Xing'a had stolen his prey. Yue Xing'a immediately blushed and explained.
But Yuzhu grew up watching Li Si'er vying for favor, and was very good at playing sympathetic roles. He portrayed Yue Xing'a as a person who relied on his legitimate status to bully his illegitimate brother.
Yue Xing'a was tongue-tied, and the more he tried to explain, the less he knew what to say. Finally, Yu Zhu smiled bitterly:
"Fourth Prince, I know that as a concubine's son, I shouldn't compete with my eldest brother, but before I left, I promised my father and mother that I would get a good ranking. I really don't want my father and mother to be disappointed. Please make the decision for me!"
However, after hearing Yuzhu's words, the Fourth Prince remained unmoved and said directly:
"Then go check on the tiger's wound, someone come!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a guard immediately jumped out from behind the Fourth Prince and walked towards the tiger's body.
Yue Xing'a's face turned from red to pale, and his expression showed a hint of despair. Was he destined to not get a good ranking today? What about his mother?
Until he heard the Fourth Prince's words, he suddenly raised his head. The Fourth Prince still had a blank expression on his face, as if he was keeping people at a distance.
In contrast, Yuzhu's face turned pale.
Soon the Fourth Prince's guards came back and found that the wounds caused by the arrow shot before his death and after his death were different.
According to Yuzhu, he shot the tiger in the belly, but the wound on the belly only caused a small amount of bleeding, while the wound on the neck was fatal.
It was obvious who was lying. Yu Zhu was so ashamed that he could only apologize and leave in disgrace. Before leaving, he glared at Yue Xing'a implicitly, indicating that he would not let it go.
Yue Xing'a, who stayed behind, knelt down excitedly to express his gratitude.
"I thank you very much, Fourth Prince. I will never forget your kindness. From now on, I will obey you in every way I can."
This tiger was the key to his saving his mother and avenging her. Fortunately, it was not taken away by Yuzhu, otherwise his only hope would be gone.
The Fourth Prince was somewhat surprised when he saw Yue Xing'a's overreaction.
In fact, he was chasing the tiger, but he didn't expect Yue Xing'a to get there first. He wanted to just leave, but unexpectedly a jade pillar came out and turned right into wrong, snatching the prey away.
He had heard vaguely that his uncle Longkodo favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and he also witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Yue Xing'a being bullied by his brothers. He couldn't help but associate it with his own situation, so he meddled in other people's business.
Looking at Yue Xing'a's expression, he didn't say much and said coldly:
"You're welcome. I just did it for fun."
After saying that, he rode away.
Yue Xing'a, who was left behind, was full of gratitude, and secretly vowed to repay the Fourth Prince in the future. Then he looked at the tiger's corpse with a look of suppressed excitement.
In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, the team came back one after another, a bonfire was lit, and Kangxi hosted a banquet for everyone and rewarded them for their efforts in today's hunting.
