The first match was the men's competition.
Because of the hype that Murong Qingli had set up in advance.
In addition, there were many young ladies from wealthy families sitting on the field and watching.
This makes those unmarried men with some ability eager to sign up and show off their talents.
After the final statistics, Feng Liuyu divided the registered men into six groups.
There are twelve contestants in each group.
At that time, the first place in each group will be selected and placed in the last wave for the final competition.
None of the people in the first group who came on stage were known to Si Muqiao.
She curiously scanned the faces of those people from left to right.
After the people arranged by Feng Liuyu waved the flags in their hands, the twelve men on horseback immediately set off.
The rules of the first game are also very simple.
Run around the huge hunting ground, and then the person who reaches the corresponding position first and shoots the apple hanging in the air at the finish line wins.
Of course, the horseback riding journey was not always smooth sailing.
Following Simuqiao's suggestion, they set up blocking crossbars, hidden small pit traps, small burning flames, etc. in the middle of the road.
In addition to these, there were blindfolded guards on both sides of the road throwing things at the people rushing over.
The worst thing is that when you are almost at the end, the road suddenly becomes much narrower.
In other words, this competition not only tests the contestants' equestrian skills, but also their on-the-spot performance and archery skills, as well as their adaptability and sense of crisis.
With all these tricks, it goes without saying that this year's hunting competition is much more exciting than previous years.
Soon, one of the first contestants' horses accidentally fell into a small pit trap.
Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and controlled the horse in time, so the horse did not throw him off.
But the person following closely behind was in a miserable state.
Because the horse in front fell into the trap, it caused a small commotion.
This resulted in the person who was following closely behind and was unable to control the speed of his horse, and was also affected by the horse of the person in front.
Although the man behind him avoided the small pit trap in a panic, he was tripped by a very low horizontal beam.
The horse and he fell to the ground together.
In the end, no one was injured, but was eliminated.
Looking further back, some of those people were hit by things thrown by the guards on the road.
Some people slipped on the sand and fell down.
Finally, after running a lap, three people arrived at the finish line almost at the same time.
They drew their bows almost at the same time.
However, it was the person in the middle who shot the first arrow and hit the target successfully.
With this, the first tense and exciting competition finally came to an end.
Soon, the second round began, and the third round...
Si Muqiao seemed quite happy watching at first, but as she watched, she began to distractedly eat the food on the table in front of her.
There are quite a few items placed in front of him.
There are hot tea, various cakes, dried fruits, melon seeds, pork jerky, etc.
While eating, she also peeled some melon seeds and handed them to the Empress Dowager who was sitting not far away.
The Empress Dowager did not dislike it. After taking it, she started to eat it with a slurp.
Princess Kangjia, who was sitting over there, also started peeling melon seeds when she saw this.
But she only peeled it and didn't eat it.
After peeling a pile, she told the people around her to divide it into two parts.
Part of it was sent to the Empress Dowager, and the other part was sent directly to Simuqiao.
Si Muqiao, who got the melon seeds, glanced at Princess Kangjia in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he met Princess Kang Jia's bright and friendly eyes.
She couldn't help but shudder.
Murong Qingli, who was sitting at the top and had been secretly watching Si Muqiao out of the corner of his eye, saw this scene and immediately said, "???"
