Whether it was the sky above or below or the simple buildings nearby, the atmosphere became a little tense and no longer as leisurely as before.
In the pavilion, Nalan Meier nervously held Yunhu's hand, "My lord, you said that swords and arrows have no eyes in this arena. Will Hongchang and the others be okay?"
Yunhu comforted her with gentle words: "Meier, don't be so nervous. This is not like going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. You will be fine. Even if there is anything, it is just a minor injury."
"You still said that!" Nalan Meier glared at him and said, "If you hadn't insisted, how could I have agreed to let Hongchang and the others come to this ice play? If Hongchang was really injured, I wouldn't be the only one.
Ma can’t ask.”
Yunhu treated Nalan Meier very well. Although she later accepted Xi Fujin, she was always her favorite. Therefore, Nalan Meier never worried about her status in Prince Lian's palace being shaken. She later gave birth to Hongchang.
She was established as the heir apparent very early. Even if Zhang of Fujin gave birth to Hongmin, he could not be compared with her at all.
Regarding her rather rude words, Yunhu didn't feel displeased at all, and still said gently: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. That's alright, right?"
Nalan Meier didn't say anything and turned his attention to the competition field. After everyone was ready, Yinzhen ordered Yang Hai to go and send a message to the eunuch who gave the order, and the competition officially began.
As the eunuch who gave the order swung his whip, more than a hundred people who had been motionless suddenly started fighting. A few wanted to seize the opportunity and quickly put arrows on their bows. However, before they could draw their bows, they were already beaten by others.
Knocked to the ground.
At the very beginning of the competition, Hongchang and Hongmin approached Hongshi intentionally or unintentionally, squeezing out those who wanted to stop him from shooting. The latter was well aware of their approach and quickly moved forward.
He slipped away, trying to get close to the people while they were still fighting, but even though his arrows
Their skills are not bad, but archery on ice is not as easy to aim as on flat ground. In addition, the current location is a hundred steps away from Gongzu. They are not Yinzhen. If they want to shoot arrows at this distance, they have no chance of winning.
, those few just now were also in a hurry and did not consider the result of the hit.
Hongshi's approach was undoubtedly correct. Those who had been fighting in the melee also came to their senses and quickly ran towards the location of the arch. Although they could not go out of the ice lake, the closer they got, the more likely they were to hit the target.
The xing will naturally be higher.
Hongli and Hongzhou were also among this group of people. They were the first two to move, but they were herded in by those people later. In addition, because they were young and could not compare with other clan members Kong Wu, they were pulled behind.
The further back you go, the more people are running towards you.
Everyone worked hard for Yinzhen's jade ring. Although the jade ring had no real meaning to them, it had an incomparable honor. If they could win it, the whole family would be honored.
They rushed forward one after another, and the scene of more than a hundred people fighting for it was extremely shocking. People kept sliding on the ice, and people kept getting up, but not everyone could get up, and a few were hit.
Their hands and feet were so painful that they couldn't get up, so the little eunuch who was guarding them stepped forward on the ice and pulled them out when there was time, and these people would lose the qualification to continue the competition.
"Be careful, Hongchang must be careful!" Nalan Meier stared at Hongchang on the ice lake intently, fearing that something might happen to him, and she left the tea and snacks at hand untouched.
Although Yunhu sitting next to her was also staring at the ice lake, he was not as nervous as Nalan Meier, but rather calm and relaxed.
Ever since he first learned that there was going to be this ice game, he had no intention of competing for the first place. Others might compete to bring glory to the family, but competing for him was like a reminder of his life. How much Yinzhen hated himself, in his heart
He knows better than anyone else that if he hadn't kept a low profile and Yinzhen didn't want to bear the crime of killing his brother, he would have been no longer in this world. Even Hongshi only got closer by himself and heard that
He was severely reprimanded.
Therefore, his son Yunhu can never compete for this first place.
Since we can't fight, we might as well go with the flow and let our two sons help Hongshi and let him become the number one. This will also make Hongshi remember his love.
He knew very well that Hongshi was an arrogant but narrow-minded person who could not see others being better than him. After several contacts, although they did not talk too deeply, it was enough for him to see Hongshi's hidden ambitions.
, he wants to be the crown prince and the next person to sit in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
He has already lost to Yinzhen. He has lost completely. There is absolutely no possibility of turning around in the hands of Yinzhen. He can only place his hope on his successor.
Hongli was as smart as a demon, and he had been living in a deep palace with no access to him. Hongzhou was of low origin. Neither of them was a good choice. Only Hongshi... could take advantage of him.
During this period of time, he could feel Hongshi's alienation from him. Today he didn't even say hello. No need to ask, someone must have said something to him. However, he knew that Hongshi had a soft ear and could easily be fooled.
If you influence someone, you can control him firmly with just a few tricks. This ice play is an excellent opportunity.
As Yunsu's thoughts changed, the battle on the ice lake became more intense, and more and more people were eliminated. At this moment, there were only about seventy or eighty people still on the ice lake, but these people had already fallen into a stalemate.
The children of these clans usually have a lot of grudges, and now they are given the opportunity. Although they cannot fight wildly, they are secretly fighting with fists and kicks, and the situation is quite chaotic.
Compared to their stalemate, Hong Shi was much more relaxed. Hong Min and Hong Chang were always on both sides of him, blocking those people for him. In addition, as he was a prince, the clan members did not dare to be too presumptuous.
When there were still more than thirty steps left from the arch, Hongshi stopped, nocked an arrow and drew his bow, aiming at the celestial sphere hanging above.
Nala had been paying attention to Hongshi, and her calmness was just an illusion. In fact, she had been nervous for a long time. This competition was something that neither she nor Hongli could afford to lose. When she saw that Hongshi was ahead of everyone, her eyes flashed.
He was so happy that he never noticed the two people beside him.
Just because she didn't notice it doesn't mean that others didn't notice it either. After Ling Ruo looked at it for a few times, she whispered to Guarjia next to her: "Sister, I remember that the two people next to the second elder brother seemed to be with Prince Lian.
Those coming over should be his two sons."
Guarjia glanced at it and said: "It seems so, but I'm not sure." Then he chuckled and said: "You are really strange as a mother-in-law. You don't care about your own son but you pay attention to others.
When the competition is over, I have to tell Hongli."
Ling Ruo peeled a melon seed and chuckled: "I believe Hongli will be able to pass this test. If so, why are you so nervous?"
