Jun Ci was infected by them and almost opened her mouth to eat with them. Fortunately, before the words came out of her mouth, she thought of her promise to Ying Wuchen.
The promise comes first, and if she avoids it now, there will always be a next time. Instead of letting Ying Wuchen think that she is deliberately avoiding it, it is better to face it calmly as soon as possible.
Maybe he was a little uncomfortable before, so Ying Wuchen didn't say much else during the dinner, which was similar to eating at ordinary times. It seemed that Jun Ci was the only one who was worried about eating.
It was probably because the martial arts competition was about to take place and Jun Ci left after dinner. Ying Wuchen did not stop her. It seemed that he really just ate with her. After walking out of the small building, Jun Ci's tense mood relaxed involuntarily. She felt a little disgusted with herself.
"Why should I force myself to be so vulnerable? It's just a matter of getting married, not the guillotine!"
Putting all the messy thoughts out of his mind, Jun Ci hummed a little tune and returned to his tent to rest early. He didn't sleep well last night, and there would be Wu Bi to watch tomorrow, so Jun Ci fell asleep again.
It was still dark when she woke up. She had just finished her martial arts practice, and the people in the army got up on time. Compared with before she left, I wonder if this martial arts competition inspired them. In short, almost no one who left the camp felt tired.
All of them have clear eyes.
After the meal, someone from the palace came and presided over the drawing of lots. Jun Ci took the winners and the officers recommended yesterday, a total of more than a hundred people, to the competition camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Jun Ci took Qin Xiao with him, and the rest of the army was naturally handed over to Liucheng and Ying Wuchen.
A high platform was built on the outskirts of the capital, with sheds built around it, for the civil and military officials to sit. His Majesty came in person, accompanied by the Queen.
Jun Ci was dressed in the official uniform of a general, and he was sitting side by side with Di Gen and others in the same direction. Their direction was facing the competition field. Today was mainly about riding and shooting. There were four games each for riding and shooting. The ones who played were
Officers of various armies.
Riding is the simplest competition. There are two people from each army, starting from the same starting line, each riding on the horse. The first one to ring the gong wins.
The arena is not wide, and eight horses are running side by side, and sometimes they may collide with each other, so horse control is particularly important.
"I heard that Lieutenant Jun selected many horses from Taipu Temple, so I thought I could win this competition."
The competition has just begun. The horses are galloping on the track, and all parties are trying their best not to collide. The person in the lead is naturally the leader of the center, the second one is actually the person of the guard army, and the third person is still the leader of the center.
, there is another member of the Central Guards who ranks third from the bottom, which is a huge difference from previous years when they started at the bottom.
After running for a while, the situation has not changed, and some people are inevitably upset.
Jun Ci sits at the bottom among the four. Regardless of her qualifications or the strength of the four armies, she should sit at the bottom. The first one is the commander-in-chief of the Zhongzhen Army, and the one above is naturally the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard Army. The first
The position is Digen.
This strange remark came from the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard Army. Among the four, he was as thin as Jun Ci. Unlike the military attache, Di Gen and the commander-in-chief Pang Wei of the Central Guard Army were both tall and burly.
Because there was Pang Wei in the middle, Jun Ci did not look at him. Instead, he spoke slowly amidst the noisy shouts: "Captain Ge Du, seeing is believing and hearing is false. Just like before today, I once said
I heard that the officers and soldiers of the Central Guards were brave and good at fighting, and the only bravery that could be compared with the leader of the Central Guards, Zhongerlang, but now that I see them, they are nothing more than that."
Isn’t that just that?
The two central defenders had taken the last two.
Ge Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard Army, was not annoyed when Jun Ci poked at the sore spot. Instead, he smiled and said: "The riding and shooting is just an opening, just for fun. Captain Jun is participating in the martial arts competition for the first time. After all, it is because young people are impatient and look back."
."
"What Lieutenant Ge Du said is that you should open your eyes and take a closer look." Jun Ci agreed perfunctorily.
Ge Jian glanced at Jun Ci with his dark eyes, just as the gong rang for the first time. Just as Jun Ci looked over, the gong rang for the second time.
The first sound was sounded by the Central Leading Army, and the second sound was sounded by the Central Protecting Army. The remaining soldiers from the two armies outside the field who came together to compete broke out in enthusiastic shouts, almost covering up the next few gongs. Unexpectedly
It was the second gong of the Central Guard Army that sounded on the fifth line, passing the general of the Central Guard Army at the last moment.
The Zhongling Army got the first and third place, the Zhonghu Army got the second and fifth place, the Zhongzhen Army got the fourth and sixth place, and the Zhongwei Army got the last two places.
Except for the excited Central Guards, most of the others were whispering to each other. In previous years, the Central Guards were ranked first.
Regarding this result, Jun Ci felt that it was expected. The people selected this time were two young soldiers and officers. These people were from well-off families and could ride horses since they were young. Their equestrian skills had also been improved during this period.
The two returned to the team, and the young men were all in high spirits, making the others even more excited.
The second riding race was even more difficult. Not only was the track longer, but this time not everyone had a gong. There was only one gong, which naturally hung directly opposite the first place in the first race. The others followed the previous one.
Ranking of fields.
The further back you go in the last scene, the further away you are from the gongs and drums. The two Central Guardsmen lined up at the far edge. When the horn sounded, the Central Guardsmen reined in their horses and ran diagonally. Not only them, but also the two Central Guardsmen, including the Central Guardsmen.
The guard also ran diagonally towards Gong.
Only the two leaders and one person from the middle guard rushed straight over. The five people behind were huddled together, and the three in front refused to give in to each other.
The two leaders in the center looked at each other, and they all drove their horses to sandwich the second-ranked person in the center guard in the middle, trying to squeeze them out.
The three horses are close to each other and do not give way to each other. The rules prohibit the people on the horses from touching others with their hands and feet.
The person squeezed in the middle felt that he was about to be repelled. He gritted his teeth and wrapped the reins around his wrist a few times. After tightening it, he pulled hard to the side. His horse's head tilted and hit him hard on the left side.
The first officer leading the army from the side gets on his horse.
The horse seemed to have been hit in the eye, and immediately neighed and fell uncontrollably to the other side.
Jun Ci's men took advantage of the situation and distanced themselves from the third leader on the other side. They raised their whips fiercely, rode Juechen, and ran out wildly. Behind them, the other leader was chasing closely, but at the end
Didn't catch up either.
The first person to ring the bell turned out to be someone from the Central Guard Army.
It’s Jun Ci’s person!
Many people stood up one after another and stretched their necks to make sure there was a mistake.
The people guarding the army outside the field were also stunned for a moment, and then they burst into high-pitched excitement.
Then the second and third were the people from the central army, and the fourth turned out to be the people from the central army who had been squeezed into a group before. They took the opportunity to give up their positions, bypassed the other four people from behind, and rushed forward.
Four adjacent ones, whichever comes first, unless the second place in the Zhonghu Army becomes fifth or lower, the first place will be the Zhonghu Army!
