Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 63
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Prince De, Prince Qing, and Prince An all unanimously did not leave the capital to enter the capital. That was because this year the Beijing military exercise was held every four years, on the ninth day of September.The emperor stayed with several princes to watch the performance, saying that they shared the memories of the heroic demeanor of the brothers.

With the Beijing Guards, Banshi's local army, and the princes' forces, the atmosphere in the capital suddenly became secretly tense.

The girls in the capital don't know, they just show off their excellence at various gatherings and banquets.Princess Qingyao was restless and sent a message to the Sun Mansion to invite Miss Haitang to ride horses at the racecourse with her.

Early in the morning, I saw Haitang wearing an ivory white narrow-sleeve silk pattern blouse, an azurite eight-petal pleated skirt with a very large hem, and underneath the blouse the same color trousers, the trouser legs were tucked into short boots like a man's .There is no special horse-riding clothing for women in China, and generally only men's clothing can be used to ride horses.This is the riding outfit prepared by a few clever girls for Haitang.

Haitang, Yu Lang, and Shuang'er were preparing to leave the Sun Mansion. Ruyi hurried over and said that she also wanted to go to the racecourse because she heard that her younger brother would also go. The two siblings had not seen each other for a long time.There was nothing wrong with this reason, and Haitang happily agreed.

Yu Lang rode a horse, and Shuang'er drove the carriage and walked towards the west gate.

Before reaching the gate of the city, he heard the sound of horse hooves chasing after him. Yu Lang turned around and saw Prince Duan at the head, followed closely by Mr. Zhao Xiaohou and Mr. Shen, surrounded by a group of heroic guards.

"Yu Lang! Do you want to compete?" Ling Xue shouted on the horse, the whip in his hand crackling.

Haitang opened the curtain, Yu Lang looked at her, she smiled and nodded.Yu Lang was so happy that he started to run away.Xie Ruitan and the others slowed down and walked slowly beside the carriage.

"Oh my! What a trick for the prince to divert the tiger away from the mountain ~" Zhao Muzhe said with a malicious smile, "Are you planning to rob the car next time? I will definitely help!"

Before Xie Ruitang could answer, Haitang asked: "Are you, this large group of people, going to the racecourse to rob?"

"You don't know? King Duan has invited us to practice at the racecourse. We can only run in a small field. If we go into the field, we won't see anyone." Zhao Muzhe explained hurriedly.

Haitang nodded, and Xie Ruitang also happened to look into the carriage. He smiled and looked at Haitang, "You and Princess Qingyao will be our judges later." Haitang didn't speak, just smiled and closed the door. The car curtain.Xie Ruitan suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of burning eyes behind the curtain.Why did Haitang bring her too?

When they reached the city gate, Princess Qingyao and Prince Chu had already arrived.There are not many guards in Prince De's palace, and usually there are only two Chu Yi and Fifteen around the Crown Prince.Zhao Muzhe smiled and said: "Xie Yuanfang, you don't have enough manpower!"

"Are you ignorant again?" Shen Congxi said: "This time Yuan Fang and I are on the same side, and the horse masters in his racecourse, do you think they are all forage eaters?"

Xie Yuanfang glanced at Shuang'er and asked, "When we leave the city, can the carriage go faster?"

After hearing this, Qingyao jumped out of her carriage, put her hands on her hips and said, "I'll ride a horse too! It'll be faster that way."

Xie Yuanfang was about to laugh at his sister's riding skills, but he heard Xie Ruitang say: "Okay! Miss Haitang, please get off the car too. Yuanfang and I will take one each, and we will compete with the carriage to see who is faster!" Before Haitang could react, I saw that Xie Ruitang had reached out his hand, pulled her gently, and asked her to sit in front of him.He looked at Xie Yuanfang and said, "Let's see who gets to the racecourse first!"

Xie Yuanhu felt as if he had swallowed a fly and wished he could take back his question.He had no choice but to pull his sister, who was beaming and beaming with joy, onto the horse with a dark face. He clamped his legs together and chased after her.

Outside the city gate, I saw horse hooves flying, yellow sand filling the sky, and a group of young people running towards the west in high spirits.

Shuang'er became anxious and whipped her hard. There was one less person in the carriage, and the horse became more relaxed, pulling the cart and started running.Ruyi in the car was disappointed, but thinking that he would meet King Duan again at the racecourse, he endured the discomfort of the bumpy carriage.

By the time they reached the racecourse, the horse pulling the carriage was almost exhausted.Shuang'er ran over to find the girl and said that the girl had gone to the martial arts arena. Shuang'er had to leave Ruyi, who was pale and still vomiting, at the racecourse and went to find the girl by herself.

Xie Ruitang and the others were divided into two teams, Xie Ruitang and Zhao Muzhe's team one, and Xie Yuanzhu and Shen Congxi's team one. Each led ten people, for a total of 24 people off the field.

Xie Ruitang's Team A led Ling Feng, Ling Xue, Ling Guang, Ling Chen, Ling Xing, An Qing, and Mu Zhe's Zhao Dong, Zhao Xi, Zhao Nan, and Zhao Bei.This An Qing was originally An Yi among the dark guards, and after leaving the dark guards, he became the deputy head of the bodyguard of Prince Duan's residence, so he changed his name to An Qing.Yu Lang was staring at him!

Xie Yuanfang's team B led the first, fifteenth, Yulang, Wushuang, Wuying, Wuming, Wuyou, Wuming, and Shen Congxi's Yunyin and Qingmo.The Wushuang people were obviously the horse masters of the racecourse, but in fact there were 28 of them in total, and they were all the personal guards of the Crown Prince.

Haitang was amused when she heard the names of these guards: East, West, North, South?Mr. Zhao Xiaohou, can you be more careless when naming people?

The martial arts competition is divided into three levels:

The first level is about riding skills.The one with the most people left to pass the obstacle wins.

The second level is about archery.The one who hits the most moving bullseyes at the same time wins.

The third level is about formation skills.A formation is set up on each side, and the team with the shortest time to break the formation wins.

The rules have been set, just waiting for the battle between Jin Ge and Iron Cavalry!
