Lin Zan watched as people gradually paired up, and he knew that the hunting competition was about to begin.
Everyone was prepared. Jun Beiqi also had a maroon Arabian horse beside him. Its tall body was half a head taller than Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan looked at the Arabian horse with some envy and was eager to try it, but when she saw the horse that the official led out to her, her face fell.
"Why can they ride Arabian horses, but I can only ride this kind of short horse?" Lin Zhan protested with some dissatisfaction.
The official immediately said with a smile, "Ms. Lin, the Ferghana horse has a fierce temperament and not everyone can tame it. This kind of short-legged horse has a gentle temperament and is most suitable for women to ride."
Listening to his words, Lin Zhan looked around and found that the ponies prepared for other women were indeed of this kind, and no one had any objections.
Since no one else objected, Lin Zhan had no choice but to ride on the pony reluctantly, and Jun Beiqi also jumped on and rode on the Arabian horse.
Lin Zan was originally short in stature, and even though he was riding a horse, he was still half a body shorter than Jun Beiqi, and the difference in height was very obvious.
"This is obviously discrimination against women." Lin Zan muttered again, not knowing that Jun Beiqi heard all her words and raised his eyebrows.
Everyone came to the same starting point. Next to Lin Zan was Si Xueyi. At the moment, she was wearing a pure white riding suit. She looked pure and flawless, like a snow lotus on a mountain.
But when Lin Zan saw what Si Xueyi was wearing, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
And in his heart, he thought of Si Xueyi's clothes, which were like mourning clothes, very unlucky.
When Jun Beiqi heard Lin Zhan's thoughts, the corners of his mouth inexplicably curled up. At this moment, the officials in front of them were already waving flags. When the flag fell, everyone rode on their horses and galloped.
The target before them is a dense forest with tall mountains and lush trees. There are many prey in the dense forest. Whoever kills the most prey will win the first prize and get the golden bow.
Naturally, Lin Zhan was unwilling to fall behind. Although she was riding a short horse, her speed could barely keep up with the Arabian horse. She followed Jun Beiqi and quickly entered the dense forest.
The two men soon found a prey. Jun Beiqi aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the prey and shot it out quickly.
"Men and women are really treated differently. Why do men have bows and arrows but women don't?" Lin Zan once again became dissatisfied with the different treatments.
Although men and women hunt together in groups, because girls have a natural disadvantage in physical strength, most of the time, it is the men who hunt and the women who pick up the prey behind.
But Lin Zhan was not satisfied with this. She secretly took a bow and arrow from the official's hand and hid it in the pocket that was supposed to hold the prey.
At this moment, Jun Beiqi was in front, so Lin Zhan naturally would not take out the bow and arrow, but followed Jun Beiqi obediently and picked up the prey he had shot.
I have to say that Jun Beiqi is still very powerful. It has only been half an hour, and he has already shot two pheasants and a spotted deer.
The spotted deer was too big, so Lin Zhan naturally would not take it with him. Instead, he asked the scoring official to drag it back.
At this moment, Jun Beiqi in front suddenly raised his hand, signaled Lin Zhan to stop, and then looked towards a bush in front with sharp eyes.
Lin Zhan naturally knew that Jun Beiqi had found prey again, so he waited obediently behind. But his heart was itching, so he quietly took out the bow and arrow he had hidden from his back pocket.
At this moment, a purple lightning-like figure shot out from the bushes and ran away. It turned out to be a sable.
Sable is a very rare animal. Jun Beiqi drew his bow and shot the arrow in one breath at the sable.
"I hit it, great." Lin Zhan rode over happily on his pony, but when he got there, he didn't expect that there were two arrows stuck in the sable's body.
Just as Lin Zhan was stunned, two figures emerged from another dense forest. They were Jun Beiyu and Si Xueyi.
"I never thought that I would meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here." Jun Beiyu sat on a Ferghana horse and raised his hand towards Jun Beiqi with a gentle expression.
Jun Beiqi said with a cold and expressionless face, "Did you shoot the other arrow?"
"That's right, but there is only one prey." Jun Beiyu was still smiling, but his words seemed to have a strategic nature that could not be ignored.
Jun Beiqi seemed to have not heard the provocation in his words and said coldly, "There is indeed only one prey, but there is only one arrow that hits in one shot."
It was only then that Lin Zhan was surprised to find that the sable was still alive.
At this moment, the sable had a ferocious expression on its face and bared its teeth at Lin Zan, as if trying to scare her away.
But that expression seemed very cute to Lin Zhan. She turned around and said to Jun Beiqi, "Prince, this sable is not dead yet."
Her words attracted the attention of three people, and they all looked at Lin Zhan at the same time.
"Your Highness Prince Heng knows that I don't like killing, so he spared the life of this sable." Si Xueyi said with a rosy face and a slightly red face while sitting on a short horse.
Seeing her pretentious look, Lin Zan couldn't help but curl his lips, and then his eyes fell on Zidane.
Each team's arrow feathers were painted in different colors. The color on Jun Beiqi's arrows was dark yellow, indicating her extremely noble status.
At this moment, Lin Zhan looked and found that the dark yellow arrow hit the sable's leg, while a red arrow hit the sable's abdomen.
And that red arrow was obviously shot by Jun Beiyu. Lin Zhan directly pierced through Si Xueyi and said, "I think an arrow shot in the abdomen is more deadly than an arrow shot in the leg. This is what you said that His Highness King Heng didn't kill because of you."
After the words fell, Si Xueyi's face was quite ugly, and she said cunningly, "Your Highness Prince Heng doesn't like to kill. This arrow must have been deflected by external force."
Her words were very clear. She was saying that because of Jun Beiqi's intervention, the arrow shot by him bent the arrow feathers shot by Jun Beiyu, so it shot into the sable's abdomen.
Lin Zhan was too lazy to argue with them. The sable that was shot no longer had the strength to struggle. It was breathing out more than breathing in, and it seemed that it would die in the next second.
"Your Highness, the arrow that hit the target seems to have been shot by me, so I will accept this prey with reluctance." Jun Beiyu said, and signaled with his eyes for Si Xueyi to take the sable away.
