Chapter 221 Duke Goshawk
One day later, the Royal Ranch of the Imperial Capital.

With the flags fluttering and the voices of people buzzing, this royal ranch is extremely lively.Generally speaking, autumn is a good time for hunting.However, hunting in winter is also a good choice.

Due to physical reasons, Roland III rarely came to the ranch to hunt in recent years.Therefore, this ranch looks very desolate, without too many people.

But the guards didn't dare to be lazy, and they still took good care of the place.

It's just that his only worry was that since Roland III suddenly thought of hunting, the ranch didn't make much preparations.

Like large beasts and others such as herds of deer, the ranch is not prepared too much.

In order not to spoil King Roland III's happiness, the ranch specially bought thousands of rabbits and put them in the ranch, hoping to fool them so that everyone would return empty-handed.

To be honest, Roland III's skill is not outstanding.When hunting, the ranch must cheat to ensure the king's record.

Today, a total of 500 people came.Most of these people are ministers whom Roland III likes or young noble children, they are all young talents.

These people are fully equipped, fancy clothes, and expensive female relatives, making this hunting more like a game.

Compared with other noble children with several attendants, Zhao Feng, who is alone, riding a horse and holding a sun-shooting bow, looks lonely.

"Look, he only brings a few bows and arrows for hunting. He doesn't even have hunting dogs or anything like that. How poor!" In the distance, several aristocratic women clapped their handkerchiefs and discussed.

"He's very powerful, and he's pretty good-looking! I heard that he's killing everyone in Carlo!" Another person looked at Zhao Feng's appearance and said obsessively.

It can be seen that she is a fan of Zhao Feng and has heard of his name.

As they spoke, these girls were arguing endlessly, discussing who was dressed more handsomely today, who had better equipment and other things, and had no desire to hunt at all.

Watching Zhao Feng occasionally look at the group of female relatives opposite, Roland III smiled and said: "How about it, or I will introduce one to you! These ladies are all good-looking, and their family background is fairly innocent! There are many of them. I have read books with you, so I can be regarded as your classmate."

Every hunt is also a channel for young men and women to meet each other and get to know each other.

In many cases, young noble men and women who met through hunting will choose each other according to their family backgrounds to complete the reorganization of their families.

However, Zhao Feng obviously has no interest in these vases.

To be honest, he hated these pretentious aristocratic girls the most. He felt that being with these vases was a bit awkward, and he didn't know what to say.

The girls he knew, whether they were commoners or Elaine.People like Hazel are very straightforward, never pretentious.

As for the so-called classmate friendship, Zhao Feng has long forgotten it!
Seriously, Dak.Evans has very little recollection of these girls.In his memory, most of the records are the humiliation he suffered at the beginning.

Back then, he didn't care about things like secret love at all.

To be honest, at that time, he was a waste, and it was difficult for him to win the favor of these noble ladies.Most of them dream of being queens or something.

Mike.Hazel and Danny.The two princes, Hazel, are the main direction of their attack.

"Your Majesty, I think it's okay, I'm still young!" As he said that, Zhao Feng insisted on Roland III's proposal without showing any signs.

Roland III thought for a while and smiled: "Yes, you are still young, I am still too impatient!" At this time, he also remembered that Zhao Feng had just reached the age to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.

Those miraculous achievements and Zhao Feng's cultivation and behavior made Roland III in front of him forget his age.

"Today, let me show you my skills!" At this time, Roland III said energetically, and then ran forward with a whip.

It can be seen that he is in good spirits today.

The health problems of the Mundra monarch have not been good, which is always very worrying.But judging from his expression just now, he didn't look like a patient at all.

"Come on!"

Seeing that the king took the lead, the other guards and the like naturally followed him closely, not wanting anything to happen to Roland III's safety.

After all, the entire ranch is very large, and the defense is not so thoughtful.If something happened to Roland III's safety, the lives of these guards might be lost!
"Drive!" Seeing this scene, Zhao Feng hurriedly followed.

To be honest, he was very bored with this kind of hunting.Looking at the hares all over the forest, he was not even interested in bending his bow and shooting arrows.

Seeing those noble children elated and those noble ladies applauding, he could only shake his head in disdain.

"Look, a wild snow rooster, it's good to make soup later!" At this time, Roland III rode on the horse triumphantly, carrying his prey, showing off to Zhao Feng.

"Your Majesty is really skilled!" Zhao Feng bowed slightly after saying that.To be honest, for such a small animal, he didn't even have the desire to take out a bow and arrow.

However, in order to take care of Roland III's interest, Zhao Feng had to play it perfunctory.

"You have to work hard too, you can't leave empty-handed!" At this time, Roland III was in high spirits, without any coughing or sick expression.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Roland III's words, Zhao Feng searched around, hoping to meet some large beasts.

In winter, the prey in the pasture is not particularly plentiful.For example, large animals, such as bears, all hibernate because of good food.

If you don't look for it carefully, it will not appear at all.

"If it doesn't work, let's hunt some small prey first!" At this moment, Zhao Feng wondered if his heart was too big.

In winter, it is very difficult to hit large animals.

"There is movement!" At this time, the excited noise of the hound came from a distance.When Zhao Feng ran over, he saw a black bear lying on the ground with long arrows on his body.

Beside it, there is a very big tree hole.It seems that this group of hunters disturbed the black bear's hibernation and let it come out.

But as soon as he showed up, he was shot into a sieve.

"It's so pitiful! This bear's skin is full of eyes!" Seeing so many arrows raining on the black bear, Zhao Feng knew that the quality of this bear's skin would be greatly compromised.

However, these royal guards and Roland III mainly thought about the addiction of hunting, not really wanting to be a hunter.

"Cut off the bear's paw. Prepare to cook for the cook! Throw all the rest to the hounds!" At this time, following Roland III's words, these hounds were lucky.

"Pity!"

Looking at the pretty good bear meat on the ground, Zhao Feng shook his head regretfully.

"I hit a beast again! Duck, you have to work harder! Otherwise, I can only give you a duke without a nickname!"

Roland III, who was in a good mood, joked with Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng looked up at the sky, and said, "No, Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he raised the sun-shooting bow, raised and lowered the string with his hands, and his movements were very chic and coherent.

"Good move, what are you doing, shooting the air?" Roland III joked with a smile: "There is no prey in the sky!"

Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have already hit a prey!"

"Really?" Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Roland III was about to refute, when the hunting dog brought the prey Zhao Feng shot from a distance.

"Goshawk!"

Roland III didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw the prey in the hound's mouth, he couldn't help but change his expression.

You know, goshawks live at altitudes of hundreds of meters, or even kilometers.Usually, when people look at an eagle, it is like looking at a small black dot.

No matter how powerful the hunter is, it's hard to boast that he will be able to shoot the goshawk in the sky.

Just now, he saw that Zhao Feng shot a goshawk with ease, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.This kind of difficulty is much more difficult than shooting a black bear.

When hunting, it is much more difficult to shoot small birds than tigers and leopards.

This unlucky goshawk probably saw so many rabbits and other prey in the royal hunting ground, so it was cruising in the air, ready to catch a rabbit and go back.

Unexpectedly, it was shot down before it fell.

Zhao Feng's arrow just now had a flying distance of at least 300 meters.Arm strength, brawn strength, and accuracy of the head are all indispensable in order to be able to do so freely and freely.

Zhao Feng respectfully said: "I would like to serve Your Majesty wine with this goshawk!" After speaking, he raised the goshawk and handed it to Roland III.

This made Roland III very happy.

"Sure enough, a hero born a boy! Today, I was still worried about your title, but I didn't expect you to win such a glorious title in one fell swoop!"

As he spoke, he solemnly said to Zhao Feng: "Dark, Evans accepts the seal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Feng quickly knelt down.He knew that this was the crucial part.Even if he didn't want to kneel down, he still had to show respect at this time.

"You are now enshrined as the third-class Duke of Goshawk, enjoying a second-level subsidy salary, hereditary succession, and territorial autonomy. I will also grant you two bear paws to hunt and kill myself. I hope you will be loyal, brave and diligent in the future, and continue to work hard!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Zhao Feng kowtowed a few times before standing up.At this moment, he didn't have any general idea about this third-class duke.

"Is this third-class duke any good? Go back and ask grandpa!" His rank for this title was limited to the approximate rank of the son of a duke.

He didn't know much about the rights and obligations enjoyed by each title.

To be honest, he really wanted to know more about it.However, there are too many laws and regulations in this aspect of the empire, and if you write them down completely, you may have to read dozens of books.

However, seeing the envious expressions of the people next to him, Zhao Feng knew that he should have won a good reward.

Zhao Feng was thinking, if it was Gude.Meralda and Mike.If Hazel was here, would his eyes turn red with jealousy or he would have a cerebral hemorrhage with anger.

To be honest, the duke reward was decided last time.However, the addition of a title this time can be regarded as completely finalizing the matter.

In the future, Zhao Feng can be called the Duke of Goshawk, and he can also add an eagle to his family's badge, which is a great honor.

Seeing that Zhao Feng had hit the prey, Roland III's interest diminished.

In the rest of the time, he didn't spend much time hunting. He spent more time talking with Zhao Feng and asking him some questions about managing the territory.

"That's right, you can make a desolate territory prosperous and prosperous, it's really amazing, I'm not as good as you!" Roland III was full of praise for Zhao Feng's talent.

Looking at Roland III's overly enthusiastic appearance, Zhao Feng was still a little wary, pointing to the other noble children who looked at him with jealous eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to reward them?"

Many of these people, like Zhao Feng, are young nobles who will hold a coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow.But on this day, Roland III completely left them out in the cold.

In the hearts of these people, I am afraid that they would secretly scold Zhao Feng's performance.Zhao Feng just shot one arrow today and stole everyone's limelight.

And they, desperately hunted down some prey such as rabbits and foxes, but they couldn't even make a move.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot!" Hearing Zhao Feng's proposal, Roland III smiled and said, "When you get old, you will have a lot of trouble remembering things!"

As he spoke, he brought out the list of rewards and said: "All noble children, come forward and accept the award!" As he spoke, he granted them their respective titles according to the amount of prey they hunted.

However, compared to Zhao Feng's mighty Duke Goshawk, these people's titles such as Earl Fox are not very wonderful.Especially the few noble boys who only caught rabbits, they wanted to throw away the prey in their hands, and they didn't want to be the so-called Rabbit Baron or something like that.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard on today's hunting operation..." Seeing that it was getting late, Roland III was about to return to the palace with his guards.

Tossing and tossing on horseback for three or four hours a day has made him exhausted enough.

"Murderous!"

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Zhao Feng felt a piercing murderous aura, and the hairs all over his body couldn't help but stand on end, flying straight into the air.

"The rain of arrows, the rain of arrows that filled the sky, hit Roland III who was sitting on the horse!"

Originally, Zhao Feng thought that the opponent's move was intended to kill him.Unexpectedly, the other party's target was Roland III, King Mundra.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were suddenly shrouded in acrid and pungent smoke, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, so they could only cry and cough uncontrollably.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Although the guards kept shouting at this time, they were powerless.The sudden surge of poisonous smoke completely obscured their sight.

The flying arrows and screams made the place even more chaotic.

Most of the noble children in front of them were pampered and spoiled. They had never seen such a chaotic situation. All of them turned pale with fright and were extremely panicked.

Of course, this little poisonous mist can't trouble Zhao Feng.At this time, he rose into the sky, ready to help Roland III stop the rain of arrows and protect him.

Unexpectedly, Roland III had already reacted at this time.

He dodged this deadly attack with a beautiful pedal in the saddle, relying on the speed of his horse.

At this time, the bay red horse that was in danger ran straight up, and the speed was so fast that it made the bows and arrows shot by the archers fall through the air.

"Good skill!" At this moment, Zhao Feng realized that he had underestimated Roland III.Unexpectedly, the sick king in front of him would behave like this at a critical moment.

"Escort!"

At this time, two noble boys on horseback rode towards Roland III, looking like they were loyally protecting their lord, but when they were about to get in front of Roland III, they took out their long knives.

"Suffer to death!"

At this time, two streams of pure fighting spirit floated towards Roland III.If you look carefully, these two people should have the strength of a junior sword master.

"Oops!"

Seeing this scene, it was too late for Zhao Feng to save him.At this moment, he could only take out his sun-shooting bow, and shot two arrows, hitting the backs of these two people.

The powerful arrow that could hit a goshawk hundreds of meters high in the air directly passed through the bodies of the two people, pierced into the ground next to them, and brought out a cloud of blood mist.

Although the two people were solved at once, Zhao Feng didn't have any relaxed expression.At this time, he can only hope that Roland III will not be hurt too hard by those two vindictive spirits!

"boom!"

To his surprise, he discovered that Roland III had sent out two battle qi, which directly counteracted that one.Judging from the purity of his battle qi, his skill is at least an intermediate sword master, and he may be a high-level sword master.

From his usual performance, it is not obvious at all.

"It's hidden!"

At this time, Zhao Feng said with emotion.None of these monarchs and heroes are so easy to deal with.Everyone has something at the bottom of the box.

Whether it is Catherine or Roland III, there are many secrets.

"Your Majesty, let's go forward!" At this time, Zhao Feng knew that he was not in a daze, and the royal hunting ground in front of him was full of dangers.

As he spoke, he rushed up and supported Roland III.

"It's good to have you here!" At this time, Roland III, who was standing under the horse, took a breath, but heard a rumbling sound coming from a distance.

"Cavalry, many elite cavalry!"

Zhao Feng's ears are sensitive, and he immediately discovered the seriousness of the matter.In such a royal hunting ground, it is extremely difficult to encounter cavalry who can ride and shoot!

"Help!"

"Don't kill me!"

At this time, the screams of those noble men and women and the royal guard came.It can be seen that they are facing a massacre.

Seeing this scene, Roland III clenched his fists and said, "Those damned rebels! After I go back, I must check who it is, who is so courageous!"

Actually, he knew, the answer was clear.The only people in the empire who dared to do this and were eager to think about his death were his two sons who did not live up to expectations.

"Your Majesty, don't think about these things anymore, let's break through first!" Zhao Feng looked around and said helplessly.In front of them, they were in a predicament.
