Chapter 36: The Hunting Grounds (1)

 、、、、、、、、、、

The first time I saw it, I saw the hunting ground for the first time! Here is located in the northern suburbs of Ningcheng, the hills are continuous, the woods are luxuriant, the branches and leaves are thick, the area here is at least tens of thousands of tilts, the surrounding is surrounded by wooden piles, the whole hunting ground, can not be seen at a glance.

Outside the hunting ground, there was a stadium-like viewing platform with wooden frames, and now it was filled with many young girls, each dressed in brocade clothes, with delicate and beautiful makeup on their faces, and their eyes full of excitement.

"Second girl, where are we sitting? The best spots are taken by others. "Although the hunting ground is large, not every position can enjoy the game, and civilians like them can only watch the games inside from the seats outside the hunting ground, and cannot go inside to watch.

At the top of the hunting ground, there are several bamboo platforms, surrounded by golden veils, and the nobility is pressing, and the emperor and the concubines are naturally seated, as well as the ministers of the court.

"Sure enough, it's a sea of people!" At first sight, I stretched my neck, and I couldn't see the appearance of those contestants at all, and the figures in front of me were swaying, and there was chaos everywhere.

"Second girl, there are fewer people there, let's go over there." Lingyu guarded Hatsumi carefully to avoid the rush of the crowd and walked to the other side.

"Who are the people who are participating in the hunting competition?" Walking to a place where there is less crowd, I can vaguely see a few young men in strong clothes at first sight, and it looks a little chic from a distance, no wonder almost all the young girls in Ningcheng are dressed up here to watch the game, in fact, they come to see the handsome guys.

"I don't know about the slaves, but it seems that those who can enter the top ten are either rich or noble." Lingyu hooked his head, looking around for a place where there were fewer people.

"Huh? It turns out that it doesn't rely on strength, but on identity competition? "I frowned at first sight, and I was already a little lacking in interest.

"No, it's all fair, and it's impossible to be in the top 10 without great archery skills in a hunting competition." Lingyu turned her head and explained to Hatsumi very seriously.

"Okay, but I don't think I'm standing so far away that I can see which warrior has won the first place, or whether their archery and riding skills are as good as they are rumored." When she first saw the eyebrows, she was interested in the game, but she was not interested in the black heads in front of her.

"Ah, two...... Second girl, King Yun is there! Lingyu suddenly screamed in surprise, pointing to the back of the first sight, her eyes bright.

When I first saw it, I looked back in surprise, and I happened to face a pair of bright black eyes like stars, it was really Qi Zhen!

Qi Zhen was wearing a black power suit today, which made him even more cold and dignified, his whole body seemed to be full of strength, and his momentum was even more awe-inspiring.

"Qi Zhen" opened a bright smile when she first saw it, looking at the man who had come to her, he was really tall, completely shielding her from the dazzling sun.

"Why are you here?" Qi Zhen's eyes were shining, looking carefully at Chu Jian, and when he saw that her white cheeks were flushed by the sun, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Watch the game" Chu Jiancan's eyes rolled and saw Qi Zhen carrying a heavy-looking bow and arrow on her left shoulder, she exclaimed, "Are you also competing today?" ”

Qi Zhen's swarthy face flushed with a layer of redness, and she nodded quickly with some embarrassment to avoid her radiant and excited eyes.

"Wow, Qi Zhen, come on, come on!" When she first saw her smile brilliantly, she suddenly felt very excited, and there was a kind of excitement with honor, she clenched her fists and made a cheering gesture, "Win a championship!" ”

"Champion?" Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled by her strange gestures and words.

"Well, it's the first place, you have to take the first place." Chu Jian smiled and squinted, she knew that Qi Zhen's martial arts should be very good, but she didn't know how good his riding and archery skills were, and those who could enter the top ten should be very powerful.

A smile released from Qi Zhen's mouth, softening his resolute handsome face, he didn't tell her that in the past five years, he had always won the first place, "Well, you...... Do you want to go in and see it? ”

At first sight, his eyes lit up, "Can I go in?" ”

Qi Qi nodded with a smile, turned sideways slightly, and motioned for Chu Jian to go in with him, and Lingyu followed behind them, and his heart was also full of joy.

The entrance to the hunting ground was near the bamboo platform they had just seen, and it was guarded by soldiers all around, and the people with the surname were also isolated from a distance of meters, and they could not get close to it even a step.

When Qi Zhen brought them in for the first time, the soldiers guarding the entrance were a little surprised, but they quickly covered up and respectfully and calmly let Qi Zhen and them enter the hunting ground.

"You watch here, remember not to go over there, there...... It's the emperor and queen, and the concubine, you know? Qi Zhen took Chu Jian to a bamboo platform on the left, with a square table, two round chairs, and a person, who first met him, was the deputy general next to Qi Wei, Li Weicheng.

Here is some distance from the most central bamboo platform, but you can still clearly see the scene on the field, there are a total of five bamboo platforms here, the middle decoration is the most heavy, I think it should be the emperor's position.

"Qi Zhen, also here?" I didn't want to meet that at first sight, and I grabbed Qi Zhen's sleeve a little nervously.

"He won't come, don't worry, he's going to hunt too." Qi Zhen looked down at her slender little hand that was tightly gripping his sleeve, and smiled at her to comfort her.

Hatsumi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”

Qi Zhen glanced at her deeply, the heart-shaking drum had sounded, and the game was about to begin.

"Transcription" Qi Wei called Li Wei and explained in a deep voice, "Take the jade girl to the stage." ”

Li Wei clasped his hands together to receive the order, raised his eyes and saw Qi Zhen's deep eyes, he bowed lightly, knowing that Qi Wei meant to let him take a good look at the jade girl, he replied in a low voice, "Yes"

Qi Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Jian again, "You go up there to see, what if...... If you're afraid of blood, don't watch it. He hadn't forgotten how pale she had been at the altar at that time because she had seen a bloody sacrifice.

Chu Jian replied softly, remembering the careless touch with Qi Qi at the altar at that time, his face was hot, "I know, you have to be careful yourself." ”

Qi Zhen looked at her delicate appearance that suddenly turned red, his heart trembled, and he said in a dumb voice, "Well, go up." ”

When I first saw Qi Zhen walking steadily towards the center of the field, she covered her cheeks, why was it so hot all of a sudden.

"Jade girl, please." Li Weicheng saw the expression of the first meeting, with a smile on his lips, but his voice was still very flat.

At first sight, he was a little embarrassed, so he responded in a panic, pulled Lingyu onto the bamboo platform, sat on the round chair, and looked at Qi Zhen's back intently.

On the field, someone had already pulled out ten sturdy Humvees, and Qi Qi jumped on the horse's back, and his movements were all in one go, which was beautiful and chic.

Archery is the most important test is the waist strength and arm strength of the lower plate, and now it is necessary to race on horseback, which is not only dangerous, but also not easy to grasp the force, and the most important mentality is to keep the heart like water, and to be full of confidence, so as to have the momentum to shoot the target.

The drums are getting more and more urgent, and the heart of the first sight seems to be in the heart, as if there is a kind of nervousness when watching a football game in modern times.

Suddenly, there was a earth-shattering sound, the race had begun, and ten tall and sturdy horses had rushed into the woods in a blink of an eye, and with a snap, there was a commotion in the woods, and the birds rushed out of the woods with panicked wings.

"Lord Li, how is this game decided to be won or lost?" I was nervous at first sight, but I remembered that I didn't seem to know the rules of the game at all, this is not like there is a live broadcast in modern times, you can't see the game, and there is no referee to follow closely, how do you know if there is cheating?

Li Weicheng lowered his head and said softly, "There is already a referee in the woods, and he will take the shot to the emperor, and the emperor will decide whether he wins or loses." ”

"How do the referees know who shot?" I asked again at first sight.

"The referee in the forest is hiding in a tree, so he can clearly know who shot what, but ...... This game is about the reputation of those who practice martial arts, and cheating never happens. Li Weicheng looked ahead, he was also a martial arts practitioner, and he deeply despised cheating.

Chu Jian nodded his head, then his eyes raised slightly, and he asked with a sweet smile, "How is your lord's archery skills?" ”

Li Wei glanced at her in surprise, "Miss Jade doesn't know? ”

Hatsumi blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly, "What do you know?" ”

"The prince has always been the number one, and no one has ever been able to beat the prince in the past five years." Li Weicheng straightened up and said proudly.

When I first saw it, my eyes widened in surprise, Qi Zhen was so powerful?

In the middle of the forest, a horse suddenly ran out, and on the horseback sat a man in a military uniform, who was holding a struggling black eagle in one hand, and the black eagle wings passed through an arrow, and blood spilled.

A loud voice came, "The king of the military department shot the black eagle at the end, and the wings were in the middle for the next technique." ”

The voice stopped, and another person rushed out of the forest, "Gu Ying shot a wild boar, in the middle of the abdomen, for the middle technique." ”

Chujian listened to the constant voices, and looked at Li Weicheng incomprehensibly, "Master Li, what do you mean?" ”

"This is the evaluation given by the emperor after presenting the prey to the emperor, the middle wing is to shoot the wing, it is a lower technique, it can't be killed with one arrow, and what makes the prey struggle non-stop is not the best archery." Li Weicheng explained.

When she first saw her, she nodded her head, she looked at the exit of the woods a little nervously, almost all those people came out of the woods, but why didn't Qi Qi come out?

That also came out, and archery was rated as medium to upper.

"Why hasn't Qi Zhen come out yet?" At first sight, Xiu's eyebrows were frowned, and his eyes were full of worry.

Li Weicheng said in a deep voice, "Miss Jade doesn't have to worry, with the ability of the prince, she will definitely be able to get the first place." ”

"But he hasn't come out yet! What are the prey in this hunting ground? Hatsumi suddenly asked again.

Li Weicheng frowned, "No one knows what kind of prey there is in this forest, and there may be any prey in this deep mountain forest." ”

Chumi's eyes widened, "What? ”

Is this a wild wood? What kind of beast is there? She thought that the prey had been put in beforehand, and that there would never be any beasts that would be deadly.

"The prince is out!" Suddenly, there was a sound of surprise in the venue.

When I first saw it, my face changed slightly, it was ...... Qi Zhen? How can it be covered with blood?
