Half an hour passed quickly, and regardless of whether everyone had flattered enough or not, the game was about to begin.
The competition is very simple, that is, everyone runs around the Royal Courtyard.
This lap is about ten kilometers, and there will be some obstacles along the way. The first one to jump over all the obstacles and complete the distance is the winner.
It seems simple, but the difficulty lies in the obstacles.
Except for Feng Qingchen, the other participants were more or less aware of the obstacles set up along the way.
Feng Qingchen saw how Sun Yijin hesitated several times and knew that she had good intentions, but Feng Qingchen shook her head.
Being associated with her, Feng Qingchen, will definitely become a thorn in Princess Anping's side and a thorn in her flesh. The Sun family is already in enough trouble, there is no need to offend the royal family again because of her, Feng Qingchen.
When the time comes, it is not something that Sun Yijin can settle by marrying into the Zhao family.
The eunuch brought a gong from somewhere, and when it rang, he thought: "Ladies, please prepare...to mount your horse."
The horses are short, so even a woman does not need help from anyone. Ten people can mount the horse almost at the same time.
Of course, as for the posture, don’t force it.
Feng Qingchen deliberately slowed down a beat, looking clumsy.
There was no surprise, everyone laughed, and Princess Anping was even more proud.
There was no way, Feng Qingchen was notoriously incompetent. Although he had been strong before, how could he change everyone's minds in an instant?
In addition, the previous strength was only in terms of momentum, and there was no actual action. Although the posture of drawing the bow was handsome, it did not shoot the arrow.
Feng Qingchen didn't care. Unlike the other ladies who looked heroic, Feng Qingchen looked extremely relaxed, exuding an air of indifference.
To other young ladies, a ranking in the Peach Blossom Festival is an honor and a means of getting married, but to Feng Qingchen, it is all that matters as long as it does not discredit her.
Marry?
She has no chance to get married in her life. In this era, no man dares to risk the disapproval of the world and marry her, Feng Qingchen.
As soon as the ten people got on the horse, the eunuch shouted again: "Get ready... start."
When...the gong sounded, the horses were frightened and started running without the need for anyone to control them.
"drive!"
The girls gave a sweet shout, pulled up the reins, controlled the horses at their crotches, and charged forward.
Feng Qingchen was not in a hurry. She had no intention of competing for first place. Besides, she was not familiar with the obstacles here and she had no interest in being in the limelight.
One step ahead is a pioneer, two steps ahead is likely to lead to a martyr.
Reputation is important, but her life is even more important.
Amidst the cheers of the girls, Princess Wutao rushed out at the lead, Feng Qingchen looked in admiration.
Who says women are inferior to men? Give Princess Wutao a war horse and she will definitely be able to kill the enemy.
Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen was happy too early. Just when she thought she could run slowly behind, a string of lit firecrackers appeared out of thin air.
Bang bang bang... the sound of firecrackers sounded.
"hiss……"
The horse under Feng Qingchen's crotch was frightened and rushed forward as if going crazy. At this time, it had already run out of the position where the girls could watch. In other words, it was impossible to see who had succeeded.
The most important thing was that Feng Qingchen had been in the last place, but at this moment he suddenly started to gallop. All the riders thought that Feng Qingchen was crazy and wanted to compete for the first place.
One, two... five, seven, Feng Qingchen surpassed the opponents in front of him one by one.
"ah……"
Everyone was surprised when they saw Feng Qingchen running towards him like a strong wind. When Feng Qingchen passed Sun Yijin, Sun Yijin was startled. With her superb equestrian skills, she knew very well that Feng Qingchen had been tricked.
He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but thinking of his sister's words, Sun Yijin still called out: "Miss Feng, hold the horse's neck and comfort it."
call……
Feng Qingchen had calmed down after the initial panic.
The moment she got on the horse, Feng Qingchen knew that this competition would not go well. Princess Anping had not worked hard on the horse, but she would definitely work hard on the road.
What Feng Qingchen didn't expect was that Princess Anping wanted her to die so impatiently.
Fortunately, she had not been able to run fast before, and fortunately her riding skills were pretty good, otherwise...
Feng Qingchen couldn't imagine what would happen if she fell off the horse when the horse rushed forward like crazy.
Even if he didn't die, he would still be disabled.
At this time, Feng Qingchen finally understood what happened in the next sentence, about someone falling off the horse.
After a moment of panic, Feng Qingchen calmed down. She knew that Princess Anping would definitely not let her reach the end safely. In this case...
"Drive..." Feng Qingchen raised his whip and whipped it towards the horse under his crotch.
The horse was in pain and ran faster.
"Thank you, Miss Sun. Qingchen will be fine. Since someone wants to fight, let's fight! Feng Qingchen is not someone to be bullied."
Feng Qingchen was full of heroic spirit. At this moment, he really took the lead and rode Juechen. He quickly surpassed Princess Wutao and rushed to the front.
"Oh my god, Feng Qingchen's riding skills are so superb." Princess Wu Tao had always been proud of her riding skills, but at this moment, she realized that there was a world outside the sky, and there were people outside the world.
At first Feng Qingchen was forced, but at this moment he took the initiative to fight.
No wonder Princess Anping also lost when she competed with Feng Qingchen as a princess.
This Feng Qingchen is really a thorn in the side. When the enemy is hidden and we are clear, she actually chooses to fight.
Courage is commendable, but I don’t know if it is just courage without strategy.
When Princess Wutao praised her, Sun Yijin chased after her: "Princess Wutao, it is the first time for Miss Feng to participate in the horse riding competition of the Peach Blossom Festival. She doesn't know where there are obstacles or dangers. Let's follow quickly."
Well, if something doesn’t happen, it’s always bad.”
Sun Yijin understood that Princess Wutao and Princess Anping were not the same kind of people. Princess Wutao was a martial artist and acted more openly.
Even if she hates Feng Qingchen, she will not use such despicable methods to frame Feng Qingchen, nor will she watch Feng Qingchen die in such despicable methods.
Sure enough, Princess Wutao just hesitated for a moment, then nodded, raised her whip and caught up with Sun Yijin: "Go and have a look."
…
Feng Qingchen was not familiar with the obstacles along the way, but it did not affect her progress.
Obstacle race, there was this in the military camp training in the previous life, but it was for people, not for horses, but in Feng Qingchen's view, it was not much different.
Sure enough, even if time and space change, people in the world have similar designs for obstacles. The first thing that appeared in front of Feng Qingchen was the hurdle.
Feng Qingchen's eyesight was quite good and he could see from a distance. He was well prepared. When he approached the railing, Feng Qingchen pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse jumped into the air. He easily jumped over the half-meter-high hurdle.
Jumped over.
Neigh... The horse under his crotch was obviously very happy and roared proudly.
His excellent horse control skills made Princess Wu Tao and Sun Yijin behind him gasp in exclamation.
"Oh my god, who dares to say that Feng Qingchen is an idiot? Can an idiot be so powerful? Who said that Feng Qingchen can't ride a horse? I think Feng Qingchen's equestrian skills are no worse than General Yuwen. I heard that General Yuwen personally
By sending her to the Royal Courtyard, is it possible that Feng Qingchen's horse riding skills were taught by General Yuwen?" Princess Wu Tao boldly guessed.
Sun Yi Jince immediately stepped forward and said, "I don't know. Let's follow her and take a look. Maybe we can get a bargain this year. By following Feng Qingchen, we can not only see her excellent equestrian skills, but also pass the test easily."
"That's right. Don't let Feng Qingchen throw us away. Let's follow him and take a look. I want to see how unbelievable the rumors are and how superb Feng Qingchen's equestrian skills are."
Princess Wu Tao raised her whip and chased after her again.
Outside the courtyard of the Imperial City, three equally outstanding girls rode horses and whips, galloping with grace, cheering for their youth!
