Just as Qin Chen wanted to continue the hunt, suddenly a group of people dressed all in black and using face coverings, came and directly attacked Qin Chen.
“Kill him and grab his game!” said one of them.
Soon a group of people tried to kill Qin Chen with weapons in their hands, and a strange thing happened when Qin Chen saw the soldiers who accompanied him actually attacked him.
Seeing that Qin Chen knew that there was someone who wanted his hunted beast, and surely that person was from the Chu Kingdom. Out of the many people, there was only one person from the Chu Kingdom who wanted the hunted beasts so badly.
Qin Chen revealed a smile on his lips knowing who the figure from the Chu Kingdom wanted his hunted beast, “Second Prince, he wanted to win the hunting event by taking the hunted beast belonging to someone else. What a very sneaky way..” Qin Chen muttered as he continued to dodge the various attacks that were aimed at him.
Tired of dodging, without warning Qin Chen just did a counterattack that every attack right hit his enemy. Using his bare hands, in just a split second he managed to subvert the ten people who attacked him.
Qin Chen deliberately did not kill them, and only made them faint for a while. Despite just fainting, it would at least take a few days for them to recover from the attack Qin Chen had made.
After taking care of those who wanted to kill himself and take his hunted beast, Qin Chen raised two medium-sized deer onto his horse, then he went to look for the whereabouts of General Shang Hong.
“Not too bad. Getting two wolves from a herd of wolves that numbered more than ten. A person who was appointed General by Princess Liu Yao is indeed not an arbitrary person.” Hunting a pack of wolves alone is not an easy feat. Wrong to take steps, the hunter can actually be the prey of a herd of wolves.
Qin Chen immediately approached General Shang Hong who had returned from the pursuit of the wolf pack, and managed to capture two of them. Reassembling with General Shang Hong, Qin Chen recounted what had just happened to him.
General Shang Hong was furious upon hearing Qin Chen's story, “From all the participants of the hunting event, the Chu Kingdom represented only the Second Prince. If it is true that the culprit is from the Chu Kingdom, he is the only person we should suspect,” General Shang Hong said.
“Only by dragging those people before King Qin Duan Ren, it is still not enough to prove the fraud committed by the Second Prince,” Qin Chen said.
“It's best to just let that guy do what he wants to do! It is better now that we return to Princess Liu Yao's place with what we can bring. If we only walk not riding a horse, at least each horse we are still able to bring an additional two deer Qin Chen and General Shang Hong who were already at their starting point split up, immediately they raised each of the two deer on the horse.
“Walk to the campground, at least we will get to when the sun is leaning westward,”, said Qin Chen who this time can only lead his horse, said, just like General Shang Hong who was also guiding his horse.
enjoying the trip with a little chatter, Qin Chen and General Shang Hong finally reached the camp, and they became the first group to return with hunted beasts. Previously, there were two groups who returned to the camp without bringing hunted animals, and they actually returned injured.
Qin Chen and General Shang knew what had happened to the two groups, but both were silent.
After handing over the hunted beasts to the calculation place that was overseen directly by the confidants of King Qin Duan Ren, Qin Chen and General Shang Hong immediately went to Princess Liu Yao's place.
The two of them immediately reported to Princess Liu Yao what had happened during the hunting event. Hearing the reports, especially the reports Qin Chen gave, Princess Liu Yao could only shake her head.
“It turns out that the Second Prince of the Kingdom of Chu, is not much different from his brother, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Chu.” Princess Liu Yao felt extremely lucky to no longer have any relations with people like them.
Princess Liu Yao told Qin Chen and General Shang Hong to rest. They will regroup during the announcement of the winner of the hunting event, which will be held after the dinner.

In the evening, all the invited guests had gathered at the dinner banquet venue, which this time was held in the main tent belonging to King Qin Duan Ren.
“Before I announce the winner of the hunting event, please all of you enjoy the dinner that has been prepared by the best cook of the Kingdom of Chu,”, said King Qin Duan Ren.
All the invited guests enjoyed the sumptuous dishes that the Chu Kingdom cook had prepared, and it did not take them long to spend all the dishes served on the table.
“Mr Chen, do you think we still have any hope of becoming one of the three champions who will get a gift from His Majesty the King?.” General Shang Hong asked Qin Chen for his opinion.
“I'm not too sure, but looking at the number of our hunted beasts, there is a possibility we can become one of the champions,” Qin Chen said expressing his opinion to General Shang Hong.
“Hopefully we can be one of the champions. At least I want Princess Liu Yao to be proud of what we have done for her,” General Shang Hong said.
Before long, Princess Liu Yao's entourage and everyone had already gathered at the party venue, which was made to circle, surrounding the campfire that was becoming warm in the midst of the cold of the night.
“From the entire group that participated in the hunting event, only five groups returned with hunted animals. The rest came back injured.” King Qin Duan Ren summoned the group that managed to bring the hunted beasts back to the camp.
Of the five groups that had already stood before the King, only the group of Qin Chen and General Shang Hong came from the Imperial family, as well as from the Royal family.
‘He is only targeting groups that do not have members of the Royal family or members of the Imperial family,’ Qin Chen said inwardly after seeing who the group managed to bring the hunted beasts back to the camp.
Before announcing who was the winner in the hunting pickle, King Qin Duan Ren had the soldiers bring a group of people who were arrested for disrupting the hunting event.
The Second Prince's face instantly looked ugly as he looked at the group of people captured by King Qin Duan Ren. He did not think that the King had managed to capture them, whom he had previously told to go far away from the hunting grounds.
At a glance, King Qin Duan Ren glanced at the Second Prince, whose body began to be flooded with cold sweat, “How about you admit yourself what you have done, rather than me forcing you to say everything?.” This time blatantly King Qin Duan Ren stared intently at the Second Prince.
The Second Prince who knew that King Qin Duan Ren had found out what he was doing to win the race event, he could only admit his mistake even though he did not actually want to do that. However, given the torture he would receive if he did not directly admit to everything he had done, he was forced to admit everything.
After hearing the Second Prince's confession about what he had done during the hunt, the King decided to take out the Second Prince's group, and gave him a prison sentence of two months.
“I, as the Father of the Second Prince of the Kingdom of Chu, apologize for what he has done to you. To you injured, I definitely give you decent compensation,”, said King Qin Duan Ren who again and again was embarrassed by the behavior of his son.
King Qin Duan Ren compensated the wounded with silver and gold. Luckily, of all of them were injured, none of them were seriously injured, or even lost their lives.
“Now I will announce the winner of the hunting event..” King Qin Duan Ren had his trusted Eunuch announce the winner of the hunting event, and was entitled to receive a reward from him.
“Successfully brought three deer. The Second Prince's group and the Third Prince of Ming Kingdom, were entitled to become the third champion.”.
“Gathering four deer and a wolf, Second Prince Group of Qing Empire, entitled to become the second champion.”.
“Killing six deer with one strike right on the head, as well as successfully catching two wolves, the representative of Crown Princess Liu Yao is entitled to the first champion.” The King's eunuchs of confidence had completed his task.
King Qin Duan Ren immediately handed over the gifts he had already prepared to give to the champions. Silver, gold, gems, and weapons he gave as gifts to the third and second champions. However, when he wanted to hand over the gifts to Qin Chen and General Shang Hong, King Qin Duan Ren momentarily fell silent as he faced Qin Chen.
“What have we ever met before?” king Qin Duan Ren asked Qin Chen because he felt familiar with the figure before him.
“This is the first time I've met Your Majesty in person. Even if we have met before, maybe it happened last night during a party in the hall of the Kingdom.” Qin Chen changed his voice, making King Qin Duan Ren feel alien to him.
King Qin Duan Ren only nodded his head after hearing that, then he immediately handed the reward to Qin Chen and General Shang Hong.
‘The perfect victory. Without having to interfere, that person had already gotten what he was supposed to get.’ Qin Chen was pleased with the punishment King Qin Duan Ren had given the Second Prince...
