On the third day, Ming Ruonan was still full of joy to judge.

The test was held in a dense forest, with no stands and no bystanders, because this test was a mounted archery.

In order to prevent cheating, a small team of officers and soldiers were arranged outside the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs and several fortresses in and out.

"This is the last martial arts test, test riding and shooting!" The main book read the rules and judging criteria, and the candidates originally thought that they were coming to hunt, and they were still a little excited, but when he finished reading, they couldn't get excited again.

The examination rules set by Ming Ruonan require everyone to score points according to the prey they shoot within two hours.

Although it is the same hunting, falconry is more difficult than rabbit hunting, and rabbit hunting is more difficult than sheep hunting. Hunting jackals, tigers and leopards is not only difficult, but also has to risk your life.

Therefore, in this test, Ming Ruonan was rare and considerate, and issued a bamboo whistle to each candidate, so that they could blow the whistle for help when they could not proceed or encountered danger.

The examiners are also assigned to guard at different points at equal distances to ensure that they can arrive as soon as the candidates blow the whistle.

When Ming Ruonan arrived at the position he was guarding, he unexpectedly found that Yuan Lu was also there.

"Third brother, as the chief examiner, why don't you sit in the account and rest?"

Yuan Lu inserted the fan into the back of his neck, and pouted helplessly: "Idle is idle, it's better to do something." ”

"It's okay, I'm bored, I just have someone to talk to."

Ming Ruonan tied the horse, leaned on the tree, and lifted Erlang's legs, Yuan Lu looked at her comfortable appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"Saying that you are everyone's girlfriend, no one will believe it."

"I'll tell you the truth, I don't believe it myself." Ming Ruonan laughed loudly, "I look like this when I beat a child, and I can follow the same example from my senior brothers, and I can make my two sisters half angry when I go back."

Yuan Lu also sat on the ground, facing her, always with a smile on his face.

"You must have been a little devil when you were a child."

Ming Ruonan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How do you know?" When I was a child, I was ignorant, and the people of our southwest county were all scared by me! He gave me the title of the little demon king of the mixed world, but later I found out that ......"

"Found what?"

When she mentioned this, she was a little homesick, and her smile was a little bitter: "Later, I found out that they are all so big, how can they not understand my tricks?" But it's all about making me happy. Don't talk about me, talk about you, third brother, I guess you weren't a worry-free person when you were a child. ”

"How so?"

"Feeling." Ming Ruonan is pretending to be mysterious, so she won't admit that she heard it from Yuan Jing.

Yuan Lu shook his head helplessly: "When I was a child...... I love to get into trouble, and every time, it's my second brother who takes care of the aftermath for me. ”

When she saw Yuan Lu mentioning Yuan Hai, she had complicated emotions in her eyes, and she didn't know if she had caused him to recall the sad things, so she hurriedly said: "If His Royal Highness King Duan is still there, I should be very pleased to see you." ”

Yuan Lu raised her eyes to look at Ming Ruonan, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, making Ming Ruonan can't help but think that this is just her illusion.

"I'm far worse than my brother."

"How is that possible! You're a virtuous king! Ming Ruonan said and gestured, "Although I haven't seen King Duan, but you are the famous His Royal Highness the Virtuous King, I really don't hide it from the third brother, if you choose the emperor from you and the fat man, your chances of winning are ten out of ten!" ”

"Clean nonsense, I'll just listen to this big rebellious word, don't talk to people indiscriminately."

"I'm serious. The ministers must have thought the same way. ”

Yuan Lu looked at Ming Ruonan's smiling eyes, and couldn't tell for a moment whether she was tempting or sincere.

When he realized this thought, he was suddenly very disappointed in himself, and he couldn't remember exactly when other people's words entered his ears, and he had to distinguish whether they were true or false.

"They call me King Xian because I love to drink and play with those boys."

"Third brother, don't underestimate these sons, their family accounts for half of the country."

Ming Ruonan said it very carefully, and wanted to say that he still had Concubine Zhuang to carry him, but when he thought of this person, he couldn't help but feel awkward in his heart.

"The concubine is ...... I guess I would love to make you the crown prince. ”

Yuan Lu's eyes flashed, and when he saw Ming Ruonan's eyes when he said this, his eyes instantly changed, and his heart was like being pricked by a needle, sad, but bitter and helpless.

"Mother concubine, she ...... She didn't like me. ”

"How can you not like it? She's just one son. ”

Yuan Lu's smile was mixed with the bitterness that had been trapped in his heart over the years.

"She only loves my second brother, I remember when I was a child, my second brother bumped into me, and she would feel distressed for a long time. But if I stumbled into it, she would first ask me if I had caused trouble. My mother often said that my brother was her pride, and for me...... But the word 'acceptable'. ”

Ming Ruonan looked at the disappointment in Yuan Lu's eyes so real, and comforted: "Maybe she just doesn't like to talk about this, it's not that she really doesn't like you." ”

Yuan Lu shook his head and showed a wry smile: "Over the years, no matter how hard I have worked to do a good job, she will take it for granted, if I don't do it well, she will reprimand me without mercy." ”

Ming Ruonan never thought that Yuan Lu and Zhuang Guifei were such mother and son, and when she thought of what Zhuang Guifei did at this moment, she was a little unsure, whether this was out of her mother's love for her son, or simply because of her desire for power.

She just wanted to comfort Yuanlu, but suddenly heard a rapid whistle.

Yuan Lu got up, looked at the direction from which the whistle came not far away, and frowned: "It's only been less than a stick of incense, what will it be?" ”

Ming Ruonan patted the ash on his body, and stepped on his horse: "I'll go and see, third brother, you are waiting here." ”

"I'm going with you."

Ming Ruonan wanted to say that if something happens to your noble body, how can I explain to them, you can see Yuan Lu's persistent expression, she realized that persuasion is useless, the time is urgent, she is worried that something will really happen to the candidate, so she simply doesn't say more.

"Drive!"

The two of them galloped in the direction where the sound came from, but after walking a mile, Ming Ruonan suddenly felt that something was wrong, the rustling of leaves that he had been thinking just now was getting tighter and tighter, and there seemed to be someone approaching around.

She urgently tightened the reins and shouted, "Third brother be careful, there is an ambush!" ”

"Phew!" Yuan Lu hurriedly tightened the reins, but the horse's hooves suddenly fell, and the whole horse uncontrollably planted towards the trap that had been laid out long ago.

Yuan Lu's whole center of gravity was unstable, and it was too late to jump off the horse, seeing Yuan Lu and the horse falling towards the deep pit, Ming Ruonan flew up, threw out a thousand ropes with one hand, and hurriedly stretched out towards Yuan Lu with the other.

When Yuan Lu Kankan grabbed Ming Ruonan's hand, the horse fell into the trap as a whole.

The two of them swayed in the air, and finally stabilized, only to see that this deep trap was not only secretly arranged, but also full of sharp knives at the bottom, indicating that they were not ready to leave a way for people to live. Yuan Lu's horse didn't even have time to struggle, and then it didn't move.
