Chapter 744: That....

Gu Yunhe had always been very annoyed about what happened to him and Princess Xunyang, but now Lord Ling was more or less the decision maker in the court, so he dared to look down at Lord Huai on this occasion.

There were several of them who were not laughing, like Min Qing from the Min Family, and Chu Yu, the Young Master of the Prime Minister.

These two families were those that had not taken their sides yet.

When the crowd finished laughing, they followed Zhou Huaijin to carry the prey.

When Zhou Huailing did not follow them, these people did not dare to be too wild. After all, Lord Huai was still one of the imperial children no matter how much he was disgraced at the moment. He was someone that the other people were not in a match against.

So the crowd followed him quietly.

When they came to the forest, they were already more or less able to see the enormous figure of a black serpent in the woods. Only then did the crowd start to feel that something else was going on, and that what Lord Huai had killed was more than a wild boar.

Min Qing had also noticed the strangeness. He asked in surprise. “Lord Huai, is that the prey that you got?”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

Hearing what Min Qing asked, the whole crowd turned to the large animal.

That was not a wild boar. What was that? It was so huge and it was black!

The crowd hastened subconsciously. They were all very curious.

Chu Yu and Min Qing led the crowd. Especially Min Qing, who had sped up in excitement.

As he came closer to the animal, Min Qing was extremely startled. “That is… that is…”

“A massive serpent!” Chu Yu shouted.

When hearing what the animal was and seeing the size, the rest of the crowd got so frightened that they took a few steps backwards and did not dare to get closer.

Seeing that the crowd became timid, Chu Yu shouted loudly, “Go and get the animal, what are you all retreating for?”

Only now did those people try to take some steps forward.

“Is it… dead?” One of the Young Masters from some family asked with a shivering voice.

“It is dead, otherwise you would already have been eaten instead of having a chance to ask any question here.” Zhou Huaijin replied with an expressionless face.

That man swallowed loudly. Although he was aware that the animal was dead, he was still quite frightened at the sight of it.

That was such an enormous serpent. One that he had never seen before. Even in the strange tales about the capital, there was never any story about a serpent that was such a large size. It was only known that there used to be one in the previous dynasty, one that was as large as three meters and had eaten more than a dozen people.

This serpent, on the other hand, looked different.

As far as they could estimate, it was as long as eight or nine meters. A living animal like this would definitely have swallowed them all, but how could such a horrid thing live in the deep mountains? That confused the crowd.

However, Min Qing and Chu Yu were more excited than scared. How excellent Lord Huai must have been to have killed such a large serpent with his own hands.

Before they were able to give it one more thought, Zhou Huaijin was already arranging the crowd to carry the animal back to the pitch.

Zhou Huailing as well as Gu Yunhe, who were in the pitch of the Spring Hunt, were both laughing. Zhou Huailing could not help, but say to the King, “Eighth Brother still makes so much effort to just carry a wild boar..”
