This incident occurred during the military parade, which made the subsequent polo match unpleasant to watch.
Because the news of this event was kept secret, the outside world was unaware that it had occurred, so the polo match was held as scheduled, and Emperor Kangxi was able to attend.
Because he had to go there. He was supposed to go, but suddenly he didn't. People would definitely wonder what happened, but this matter couldn't be exposed.
Only Prince An, under the pretext of having been assigned other tasks by the Emperor, remained out of the running during this competition—in fact, his attendance wasn't really necessary anyway.
Furthermore, given his current injury, it's even more inappropriate for him.
Of the three assassins sent this time, one has been captured and is being tortured, while the other two are already dead. However, their remains will likely not fare any better!
The people behind the scenes were unaware of what was happening in the hunting grounds. If they didn't want to alert the enemy beforehand, they not only had to keep the matter a secret, but they also had to remain still and not let those people guess that the person had been captured.
So, in addition to Prince An, Lady Hesheli also took Jingrou to watch the polo match.
Jingrou was worried about her maternal grandfather, but she was really worried. In order not to alert him, she couldn't stay by his side all the time, so she might as well find something to do to distract herself!
Originally, Jingrou wanted to sit with her friends, but she pulled He Cen and Wen Ying to sit next to her maternal grandmother, because her grandmother's seat was much closer to the front and closer to Emperor Kangxi and the others!
She gave in to this very easily.
There was no other way; she had used up so many points this time, and now she had to make up for them quickly! But now that she had lost so many points, she couldn't make up for them in a short time. The fastest way was to stay close to Emperor Kangxi as much as possible.
Otherwise, how will she buy things in the mall after losing so many points?
She felt she had a condition called points anxiety; she would become extremely anxious if her points dwindled and would try every possible means to gain more points…
Moreover, if you run out of points, and then encounter danger or need to use your points but don't have any, it will be something you'll regret!
Jingrou sat quietly in her little spot, happily accepting the occasional point notifications while watching the polo match below... Only when she truly experienced the usefulness of the system could she appreciate how wonderful these points were!
If it weren't for the shadow cast by his maternal grandfather's injury, the polo match would actually be quite exciting. It's just that I wonder how many people in the stands were really focused on the game, especially Emperor Kangxi and those princes.
They're probably thinking about the assassination attempt more than the exciting match in front of them right now...
To make it more eye-catching, they were divided into two teams: red for the Qing Dynasty and blue for the Mongols.
This way, the two players won't be dazzled during the match, making it easier to distinguish their opponents and also making it easier for the audience to see them.
Polo is a very entertaining sport. First of all, the game requires participants to have excellent horsemanship skills, and the skills they display during the game are often unexpected and exciting.
Jingrou watched with an appreciative attitude. Since none of her cousins were there, she watched whoever performed well and was the best. So she was the kind of person who would applaud whoever scored a goal.
He's happy no matter who scores, as long as there are exciting matches to watch!
Cen Wenying, on the other hand, clenched her little fists, cheering on her brother. Of course, they supported the red team! Their stance was very clear and firm!
With their own older brother participating in the competition, they naturally wouldn't tolerate anyone else!
If Mongolia scores, they become disheartened; but if the Qing scores, especially if their brother contributed to the goal, they will stand tall and be overjoyed!
Even Wenying, who is usually quite reserved, was now nervously clutching her handkerchief and holding her breath.
Just then, Wenying's brother, Sado, had just put the ball under his cue and was looking up to see which teammates were about to pass the ball when a blue shadow suddenly flashed past him.
Wen Ying stared wide-eyed, and before even the audience on stage could react, the blue figure had already intercepted the ball.
Sado didn't react in time either.
The man practically leaped off his horse, using the momentum to jump over Sado. His horse continued running forward, landing right where Sado was. He jumped down and landed on the horse. The combination of man and horse was invincible. He didn't stop wielding his stick and directly intercepted the ball.
A gasp of surprise came from the stage.
This skill requires not only good personal skills, but also excellent coordination with the horse. This time, for the sake of fairness, the horses selected were all raised by the paddock itself, rather than being allowed to bring their own breeding horses.
The horses in the royal paddocks are all of purebred blood, but they are far less coordinated than the horses owned by the royal family. Furthermore, because they weren't trained together from a young age, they might not be as easy to handle…
It's remarkable that they've achieved this much in just a few days of training, and it takes a very quick reaction to take the ball away from someone's hands.
If any one of these elements is missing, a person is very likely to get injured, let alone win the ball!
Wenying and the others were stunned.
Needless to say, even the people inside the factory hadn't reacted yet!
Upon closer inspection, it was Antu La from Horqin. Relying on his skill, he intercepted the ball and immediately passed it to Jituo.
The ball was already in Sado's hands, and the red team was overjoyed, waiting for a goal, when it was suddenly intercepted before they could even react.
Several people on horseback stared in disbelief, but it was too late to intercept the ball.
Gitto reacted quickly, grabbed the ball, ran back, and then scored a beautiful goal!
