Chapter 232: Unexpected
Don't you want to be imposing? Then I'm not as good as you want!
The majestic horn sounded, which was the signal for the start of the third round of the competition.
Gu Jiuge and the others didn't want to say anything more to Gu Qinglai, so they only comforted Situ Luo and asked her to hurry up.
Situ Luo glanced at Gu Qinglai fiercely, and turned to leave the stands. Gu Qinglai's face flashed with a look of calculation, and he stretched out his feet without moving, Situ Luo was unguarded and tripped by her, the stands were not short, and she fell down alive.
"Luo'er!" Gu Jiuge was shocked, and immediately jumped out of the stands, hurriedly helped Situ Luo up, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" Where does it hurt? I'll go find the Imperial Doctor! ”
Situ Luo grabbed her, endured the pain and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my foot seems to be sprained." ”
"Gu Qinglai! Why do you love to use these unseemly pickling methods so much! Zhao Qianqian turned around violently and pushed Gu Qinglai fiercely, pointing at her nose and roaring angrily.
There was a commotion here, which attracted the attention of Mu Yao and everyone.
Gu Qinglai saw that there were too many people, so he actually lifted the hem of his skirt and knelt down, his eyes were filled with tears, and said, "Miss Zhao is angry, Miss Situ really has nothing to do with me when she rolls off the stands." ”
She is used to reversing black and white, where is Zhao Qianqian her opponent, when she sees her like this, she feels angry, and she can't wait to reward her with a few slaps.
"Miss Zhao, you are the fifth princess, and Miss Gu is the third prince's side concubine, so you also want to call your sister-in-law, where is there a reason to let your sister-in-law kneel in the world." A woman in the stands who looked like a lady asked with a smile, which immediately caused a chorus.
"That's right, but this Miss Gu is not as tall as Miss Zhao Family, not to mention, she is a concubine, and Miss Gu is just a side concubine, so she is naturally inferior."
"Isn't that bullying?"
There was a lot of discussion in the stands, Zhao Qianqian was speechless, anxious and angry, but Gu Qinglai still knelt in front of her, pretending to wipe her tears, looking like she had been greatly wronged.
"Qianqian, come here." A gentle voice sounded, but when he looked up, it was Xuan Yue, followed by Mu Liang Xuanlang and others.
Zhao Qianqian pursed her lips and walked towards Xuanyue.
Xuan Yue patted her hand, then turned to Xuan Lang and said: "Third Emperor Brother, Qianqian and Miss Situ are on good terms, and when I saw her fall, I was in a hurry, so I messed up, and I asked the Third Emperor Brother and Concubine Gu not to be surprised." ”
Xuan Lang didn't want to care about Gu Qinglai's affairs, but if he really ignored it in front of so many people, he couldn't get over it, so he just waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, my daughter's family is just arguing." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to help Gu Qinglai up.
The matter should have ended here, but Gu Qinglai came to the ground and said: "Fifth Highness, don't blame Qianqian, she is like this, and I should let her as an elder sister." ”
The implication is that Zhao Qianqian doesn't understand the rules, so she has to make trouble.
Zhao Qianqian was standing behind honestly, and when she heard her words, she suddenly exploded, and she stepped forward to reason with her, but was pulled by Xuan Yue. Looking at Xuanyue's calm gaze, although she was aggrieved in her heart, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
"What Concubine Gu said is that Qianqian is strong and upright, and she only knows how to reason and reason with people when she encounters problems, but she will not kneel down to people casually." Xuan Yue said and looked at Zhao Qianqian and smiled dotingly.
Gu Qinglai was so angry that she almost fainted, but she didn't see that Xuan Yue, who looked at Wenwen weakly on weekdays, was so powerful when she played with her mind!
"That's it! Your clothes are dirty, go back and change your clothes! Xuan Yue grabbed Gu Qinglai and said in a cold voice, almost in a commanding tone.
Gu Qinglai also felt faceless, so he just went down this step, and left after just glancing at everyone.
Zhao Qianqian let out this breath, and suddenly felt much more relaxed, gently pinched Xuanyue's fingers, and the smile on her face was light and pretty.
"Lord Wang, Your Majesty asked the old slave, if there is nothing wrong, can you start the game?" Wang Cheng hurriedly ran over, looked at Mu Liang and asked.
Mu Liang looked at Gu Jiuge when he heard this, and asked softly, "Can Miss Situ continue?" ”
"No, she hurt her foot." Gu Jiuge said in a deep voice, somewhat regretful.
"So there's one less person." Wang Cheng muttered in a low voice, and then said, "That's it, it's okay." ”
Situ Luo pouted, very unwilling. She stood up strongly, but she felt that the pain in her feet was unbearable, and it was okay not to move, but this movement made her break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that she couldn't participate like this, everyone could only give up, and it was Mu Liang who took a few people to prepare to go to the arena.
"I'll do it!"
A gentle and shallow voice sounded at the entrance, and everyone followed the prestige, only to see a woman hunting in red, with picturesque eyebrows, the horse dress was neat and neat on her, her facial features were delicate and feminine, but at this moment she added a bit of heroic temperament.
She walked over slowly, amazed everyone present, and everyone didn't react for a while, and they didn't recognize which lady this was.
It wasn't until she walked on the field and turned over on the horse neatly that Gu Lisheng lost his voice and said, "It's Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”
One word woke everyone up, the heroic and feminine woman in front of her was not Mu Wanyu!
Mu Wanyu's sudden appearance was unexpected, especially in such a way.
"I've never heard of His Highness knowing how to ride and shoot." Gu Jiuge said in a low voice, and there was also a look of surprise in his eyes.
The corners of Mu Liang's mouth rose slightly, looked at Mu Wanyu on the horse, and said with a pleased smile: "The imperial sister's riding and archery skills were taught by her father, and she played on horseback when she was five years old. Today, we have a bargain. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand at the people behind him and led them onto the field.
All 10 men got on their horses, adjusted slightly, and waited for the signal for the start of the race.
Gu Lisheng secretly took the afterglow and looked at Mu Wanyi, for fear that she would find out, so he immediately looked away, but he felt itchy again, and the afterglow drifted away. It's so repeated, I always feel like I can't see enough.
"Sister Huang, you haven't ridden a horse for many years."
Mu Wanyi smiled, her voice was still as gentle as water, and said, "Then Ah Liang has to show mercy to his subordinates today." ”
With the sound of the horn, ten horses rushed out, like beasts that had just come out of the cage, and touched the hearts of everyone present.
Situ Luo also forgot about the pain, pulled Gu Jiuge to the front, and stared at the situation on the field.
At the beginning, everyone was completely impressed by Mu Wanyi, only to see her tighten the reins, lower her body, and slightly ahead of everyone. Seeing such a scene, everyone was amazed, this eldest princess, who has always ignored the worldly things, is really a mysterious woman.
Just as the ten horses were speeding forward, some wooden fences with spikes suddenly appeared on the empty and flat field. At the same time, countless sparrows were released from their cages at the same time.
This sparrow is the target.
The fence appeared so suddenly that several people could not prevent themselves from tripping and falling off their horses.
I saw Mu Wanyu tighten the reins, clamp the horse's belly, jump up, and cross those obstacles. At the same time, she drew the arrow from her back, bent her bow, and shot it at the sparrows flying in front of her.
"Beautiful!"
Gu Jiuge couldn't hold back, and shouted in a low voice. Looking at Mu Wanyi's appearance on the field, she suddenly felt a wave of emotion, only hating why she was not a man, and she couldn't be as unrestrained and chic as her.
The game continued, and Mu Liang and others then caught up.
"Sister Huang! It's a great day! Mu Liang walked side by side with her and said with a laugh.
Mu Wanyu has been depressed for so many years, and today he can finally let go of his knots, he only feels happy in his heart, and he no longer has the indifferent and serious appearance he usually has.
Gu Lisheng also caught up, turned his head to look at Mu Wanyi, wanted to say something but held back, just laughed, and couldn't close his mouth.
"Here we go again!" Gu Lisheng suddenly shouted, only to see a few people suddenly appear in front of him, holding more than a dozen thick and big hemp ropes in their hands to block the way.
Mu Wanyu hurriedly tightened the reins and leaned back, and after a long time, she rushed over.
There was a long hiss from the sky, and several people looked up, only to see an eagle flying high with its wings spread, sometimes swooping down, sometimes hovering upward, extremely fast, extremely fierce.
Everyone knows that this is the target of this round of obstacles.
They all grabbed the reins and stopped, bent their bows and arrows to shoot down the eagle.
"It's up to each according to his ability." Mu Wanyu said with a chuckle.
For a while, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot out in unison, and the eagle was vigorous and avoided them one by one.
Mu Wanyu set up the arrow and carefully observed the direction of the eagle, suddenly, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the arrow left the string and shot straight at the eagle. Suddenly, the eagle fell down as if it had broken its wings.
"Good!"
There was a surge of cheers from the stands.
Mu Wanyi smiled lightly and left quickly, and several people hurriedly followed when they saw this.
In the stands, Mu Yao couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and his palms were red, he looked at Zhao Gao who was not far away and smiled: "Old general, look at how my imperial sister is!" ”
Zhao Gao stroked his gray beard and said seriously: "Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not a man, otherwise where would my Zhao family be so glorious now!" ”
Mu Yao laughed more and more happily when he heard this, pointed to the field, and said with a smile: "Although those small ones are good, they are still slightly inferior to Wan Yu compared to riding and shooting." ”
"Yes, at a glance, I'm afraid that only His Royal Highness King Liang can compete with His Royal Highness the eldest princess." Zhao Gao looked at them and said with a smile.
There are only Mu Liang sisters and brothers, Xuanlang Xuanyue, Gu Lisheng and Zhao Bingye who are still on the field.
"The old general is modest, and Zhao Xiaogongzi and Gu Xiaogongzi are not to be underestimated." Mu Yao said with fright, he had high hopes for Zhao Gu's two juniors, especially Gu Lisheng, who had already made a lot of achievements on the battlefield at a young age.
