Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 202 He has more capable people than he can use.

“Brother, Sister Qing lives not far from our Duke’s Mansion. She has lived there for six years,” Chu Yueli said.

Chu Xiaohe's heart tightened, and he was even more surprised: "Miss Huo, you..."

Suddenly, it seemed I understood, and a pang of sorrow welled up in my heart.

"Miss Huo, why are you doing this?" The dead cannot be brought back to life. Her third uncle is gone. She can actually start her life anew.

But why be so fixated on it?

"The Emperor is almost here," Chu Yi reminded him.

Everyone then composed themselves.

Miao Yucui looked at Chu Yueli and smiled, "I was waiting for Miss Huo's decision, which is why I arrived so late."

"So, are you really sure about this, Sister Qing?" Chu Yueli looked at Huo Qing. "Although I can feel your determination, I still have to say that after today, you will never be able to get married again."

"In this life, I can't marry anyone but Sanlang." Huo Qing's eyes were slightly red, but she still nodded cautiously.

Chu Yueli took her hand and walked to the flag of the Duke's mansion.

As expected, the Emperor has arrived.

The Empress also led the women of the harem, following behind the Emperor.

Accompanying them was the entourage of Tuoba Yi, the third prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

After everyone bowed, An Delu said with a smile, "The Third Prince is very interested in our annual Autumn Hunt in Dongling. This time, the Third Prince is also bringing his own team to participate, so everyone should pay close attention."

The Third Prince's team consisted of only four people, while each team in Dongling had five people.

If the team of the Third Prince of Dongzhou were to win the championship, it would be a real slap in the face, and the entire Dongling would lose all face.

Everyone immediately perked up, eager to impress the Emperor, especially this year with the arrival of two more princes leading their entourages: the Eighth Prince Lu Ziling and the Ninth Prince Lu Yunfei.

They were all still princes and had not yet achieved any merit, so they were not granted the title of king.

If they can impress their father at this autumn hunt and be given the opportunity to make a name for themselves, they can, like the princes, further develop their power after being enfeoffed as kings.

We immediately entered the imperial drill, which was actually a very simple test. Each team members demonstrated their horsemanship and archery skills in a large open space in front of them.

An Delu ordered his men to set up the archery targets. The Second Prince, Lu Zhengrong, led the Rongwang Mansion's troops around the field, thus beginning the exercise.

The team of five men, after a week of riding and archery, three of them hit the bullseye, and the other two warriors were also quite good, coming very close to the bullseye.

No one missed the target.

The Third Prince, Prince Ning, immediately led his team around the field, and all four hit the bullseye, with no one missing.

Behind him is the Ink King.

Aside from Mo Wang and Liu Yun and Jing Lei beside him, he turned around and randomly picked two people from the group behind him.

"Those are the legendary warriors of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. The leader of the Eighteen Riders should not be in the capital. Among the Eighteen Riders, their skills are not considered outstanding," Chu Xiaohe whispered to Chu Yueli.

Chu Yueli's eyes darkened slightly: "So, Prince Mo really just picked someone randomly?"

"Mm." Chu Xiaohe nodded.

At least he knew that the two exceptionally skilled individuals were not in his team and had not participated in the drills with King Mo.

Chu Yueli finally understood what the Great Demon King meant by what he said earlier.

He said that people from their royal palace could be used at will.

He has so many talented people in his household that he can't possibly use them all!

This guy wasn't joking with her.
