Chapter 132 Hunting Tournament (2) Stealing the Spotlight_4
"Pshh," Xiao Jinyan said disdainfully.
Ye Qichi rode the Ferrari onto the racetrack.
She had just secretly calculated.
They were 3 arrows behind Xiao Jinsen's team who was in first place, and 1 arrow behind Xiao Jinxing's team.
It must be said that Bai Mowan had indeed narrowed the gap this time.
If she could hit all ten.
They would definitely be in the provisional first place.
But...
She glanced sideways at Xiao Jinxing.
If she really did hit all ten arrows, this guy would probably beat her to death, right?!
Ye Qichi pondered to herself as the referee shouted the start.
Others were whipping their horses and racing towards the target.
She, on the other hand, was somewhat leisurely.
To outsiders, it looked as though she couldn't even ride a horse.
And so, they lost interest in her.
What Ye Qichi was actually thinking was.
In the moment when everyone was not paying attention to her.
She would quietly catch up in scores.
She leisurely arrived in front of the target.
The nearby referee couldn't help but remind, "Princess Chen, there is a time limit for the competition, Princess Chen has half an incense stick's time left."
Of course, she knew.
She just watched the others shoot arrows on horseback.
Slowly, she picked up the bow and arrows.
At this moment, naturally everyone's attention was not on her.
They all thought she was giving up.
After all, shooting arrows on horseback was admittedly difficult.
Ye Qichi aimed for the center of the target.
Her arrows flew out fast, one by one.
One by one, hitting the target center directly.
At this moment, aside from the referee next to Ye Qichi, no one knew about Ye Qichi's performance.
The referee was stunned.
He thought he was seeing things.
The Princess had hit all the targets.
And at such a swift pace.
After shooting, Ye Qichi turned to the referee and made a shushing gesture towards him.
The referee was still stunned.
Ye Qichi, thinking that the referee might not understand her gesture, whispered, "No commotion."
Having said that.
She then gave the referee a smile.
The referee blushed.
The Princess was naturally beautiful.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, she smiled at him.
He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
His heart was racing, and he dared not meet the Princess's gaze.
Ye Qichi found it somewhat amusing.
She rode her horse back.
As she was returning, she noticed another gaze.
She looked over and saw Xiao Jinxing in the distance.
Damn.
He had noticed.
She guessed, at this moment, he had the mind to kill her.
But as a competition.
Not showing one's real strength would be irresponsible towards oneself and one's teammates.
The emperor's reward is definitely substantial, it's not to be missed.
She pretended not to see Xiao Jinxing's gaze.
She returned to her team and dismounted.
The servants led the horse away.
Xiao Jinyan, with a hint of sarcasm, said, "Did you not hit even one arrow?"
Ye Qichi did not answer.
Xiao Jinyan then felt that Ye Qichi was feeling guilty.
He was convinced that Ye Qichi hadn't hit a single arrow.
At that moment, Bai Mowan pursed her lips tightly.
She had seen it clearly.
Ye Qichi, all ten arrows hit the target.
But she did not say it out loud.
She didn't know why... she just couldn't say it.
It was hard for her to admit that Ye Qichi meant more to her than her own life.
The contest in the arena ended.
Next up was the main event of the hunting festival, the real hunt began!
Everyone had their own bow and arrow, with their names engraved on the arrows.
Any prey marked with someone's name would be their trophy, and the more trophies one had, the better their score.
At the emperor's command.
Everyone rode their horses into the forest to start the hunt.
There was plenty of game.
Some were wild.
Some had been released in advance.
In any case, everyone dispersed into the forest to hunt on their own.
Ye Qichi, riding a Ferrari, was also searching for prey.
He targeted a wild rabbit.
Just as Ye Qichi was about to shoot his arrow.
An arrow, faster than his, struck it first.
Ye Qichi turned around.
Turning, he saw the indifferent face of Xiao Jinxing.
In such a vast place.
She ended up running into Xiao Jinxing just like that.
After shooting the arrow, Xiao Jinxing turned his horse and left.
Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.
What's so great about that?
She rode her horse to another part.
Passing by, she saw Xiao Jinsen just shot down a bird.
Ye Qichi turned and walked away.
"Princess Chen," Xiao Jinsen called out to her.
Ye Qichi pursed her lips.
Indeed, it's a small world.
She took hold of Ferrari's reins, stopping in place.
Xiao Jinsen was holding the severely injured bird he had just shot down. "Do you want it?"
Ye Qichi frowned.
This man, what tricks is he playing now?
"If you want, I can give it to you." Meaning, he was offering the game to her.
Ye Qichi smiled, "Thank you, Prince Chu, but the competition must be fair. If it's yours, it belongs to you."
Xiao Jinsen snickered coldly.
Casually, he threw the bird onto the ground.
As long as it was hit by his arrow, it was his game, and naturally, someone would pick it up for him.
"I won't delay Prince Chu's hunting anymore, this consort will take her leave."
"Ye Qichi," Xiao Jinsen rode his horse and blocked her way directly.
Ye Qichi frowned.
"You seem, very afraid of me?"
"Prince Chu overstates, as the consort of Prince Chen, it is only natural for me to avoid you," Ye Qichi spoke straightforwardly.
"Avoid me?" Xiao Jinsen mocked, "Did you avoid Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan? The two of them flirting over at the horse field, doesn't it upset you?"
"Prince Chen has always admired General Bai, and I only wish them the best for their relationship," she said.
"Ye Qichi, you really are very generous."
"Prince Chu flatters me, I am merely fulfilling a woman's duty," Ye Qichi deliberately pretended not to understand Xiao Jinsen's sarcasm.
"Ye Qichi!" Sternly.
Xiao Jinsen was angered by Ye Qichi.
"Is it because Prince Chen stole the spotlight from Prince Chu today, that you are venting your anger on me?" Ye Qichi spoke bluntly.
"Ridiculous!" Xiao Jinsen coldly scoffed, his face disdainful, "When has this prince ever been jealous of Xiao Jinxing?! Besides, the competition is not over yet, he's only two arrows ahead of me, what's there to be jealous of?!"
"Since that's the case, I will not disturb Prince Chu's hunting, this consort will excuse herself first." Saying this, she had Ferrari turn around and leave directly.
Just as she left.
She felt someone from behind leaping off the horseback, clearly intending to land on her horse.
Obviously trying to stop her from leaving.
Ye Qichi clenched her fist.
Just as Xiao Jinsen reached behind her, she was about to slap him.
Suddenly, a figure swooped in from another direction.
With remarkable speed in Qinggong.
Right as Xiao Jinsen was approaching.
Ye Qichi was directly grabbed off the horseback by that person.
Together, the two of them landed back on the ground.
Xiao Jinsen rode onto the back of the Ferrari, his eyes turned cold.
Coldly watching, Xiao Jinxing held Ye Qichi tightly in his embrace.
