The outskirts of Jinling.

Garden horse farm.

This is not only a place where the Daqian court kept horses, but also a vast wilderness and dense woodland used for hunting and cross-country hunting.

Yan Wulu, Gu Beiju and others came here together.

The two of them even had to arrive one step ahead of other martial arts test takers.

After all, these southern horses owned by young men from middle- and lower-class families have natural shortcomings compared to the horses owned by Yan Wulu and Gu Beiju.

Gu Beiju bowed slightly to Yan Wulu and left.

As the main examiner in charge of this third stage of the assessment, he is already heading to the main stage.

Yan Wulu responded politely.

Horses galloping.

Exam candidates gather together.

Because of Zhang Zheng, the little tricks of the Jinling family did not really block many poor candidates.

The examiners will "randomly" group all the martial arts candidates.

As Yan Wulu expected, almost every group has been specially adjusted.

For a top aristocratic family in Jinling like Qin Chechu, his group was almost specially set up for him to win first place.

As for Ren Yi and Xia Jingjing, who had always achieved impressive results and challenged the authority of the family, they were specially separated and put into two groups where strong people gathered.

A group of thirty people participate in equestrian cross-country competition in order to compete for points. It can be said that there are almost no rules.

Small teamwork is commonplace.

Yan Wulu seemed to have very average luck this time.

He was in a group with Xia Jingjing, a group of equestrian experts recommended by many Jinling families.

Yan Wulu didn't think it was a big deal about this result.

Come to think of it, I am from the North after all. Although I am not from a poor family, in the eyes of these Jinling families, I am still a country gentry and a military general and a reckless man.

Gu Beiju seemed to have just learned about this grouping, and cast a very apologetic look at Yan Wulu.

He even came here specifically to say that someone else had tampered with it and changed his original grouping of Yan Wulu... Thinking about it, it might have been someone from Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng.

Gu Beiju also said that he could temporarily exchange one of the people in the group between Yan Wulu and Qin Chechu.

In that group, except for Qin Chechu, the rest were all guys with extremely poor riding skills. It was easy to get the top two places.

But Yan Wulu refused.

"There is no need to resort to such obvious means for Wu Lu."

Yan Wulu said, he looked at the group where Xia Jingjing was, that is, the group he was in, and then continued -

"...Besides, aren't this group also a group of guys with mediocre riding skills?"

When Gu Beiju heard this, he was shocked for a moment.

After a moment, Gu Beiju came to his senses and felt that he was indeed the man he had chosen. He was indeed extraordinary!

These people are all famous equestrian masters in Jinling City. As disciples of aristocratic families, they were recommended by the aristocratic families.

But in Yan Wulu's eyes, it can only be called "mediocre riding skills".

Gu Beiju felt that Yan Wulu was not talking big words.

He admired and admired this person more and more in his heart, stepped back slightly, bowed his hands, and said -

"Then I wish the crown prince success in the future!"

…

The forest farm is vast, and it is considered complete when you reach the end point from here.

Among them, there are a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one forking roads, like a maze.

Each person will receive a map with the points marked on it, as well as the starting and ending points.

There are ten points in total in the venue. Only the first martial arts test taker to reach the point can obtain it, and those who come after will be invalid.

The first one to finish the race will get ten extra points.

second, five points;

Third, three points.

During the competition, the points are marked with a round wooden sign. Having it means you have the points. After passing the finish line, they will be settled uniformly.

…

At the beginning of the second round of competition.

Ten groups are performed in sequence.

Yan Wulu is in the seventh group.

The first group has already started, and there are a large number of cavalry taking care of them along the way. They only care about safety and convey the real situation.

…

The Zhenbei Cavalry Guard suddenly came to report.

Yan Wulu communicated with the cavalry guards about the previous matters related to the City Defense Department.

The City Defense Department under King Jin was involved in a major incident that has not been exposed yet.

Originally, Yan Wulu had noticed this a long time ago, but he was not sure, so he specifically asked the mounted guards around him to send manpower to pay attention. Now, he has repeatedly confirmed it several times.

Before he came to participate in the martial arts competition, he had once again captured the opponent's form.

Yan Wulu has asked Zhang Chunhua to lead people to take action.

Moreover, now the mounted guard came to report - he had successfully succeeded.

Yan Wulu had a slight smile on his face.

He knew that all he needed now was a suitable opportunity to completely capture the City Defense Department.

While Yan Wulu was thinking about the affairs of the City Defense Department, Princess Zhao Lingrui of Taiping and Qin Jing, the daughter of Prime Minister Qin, came to the garden racecourse with a group of female cavalry guards.

The two of them made a special trip to watch this martial arts exercise.

Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui is a martial artist.

As for Qin Jing, she never pays attention to these things. Thinking about it, she may be here mainly for her brother Qin Chechu.

...Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhao Lingrui stalked her and asked her to come with him.

When Qin Jing saw Yan Wulu, she was stunned for a moment, waved slightly to greet each other, and then went to find Qin Chechu.

Yan Wulu responded with corresponding courtesy.

Then Yan Wulu was suddenly called out by Zhao Lingrui.

It was the "Female Overlord of Jinling" who was shunned by everyone, in full public view, and was now calling a man to come over.

For a moment, those Jinling gentlemen felt both surprised and envious.

I was surprised that someone could actually get into Zhao Lingrui's eyes. She was the feared "Female Overlord of Jinling"!

I am envious that someone can actually fall into Zhao Lingrui's eyes. She is the most beautiful Princess Taiping!

Yan Wulu rode over.

Zhao Lingrui was outside the racecourse fence and approached on horseback, "When did you have such a good relationship with Sister Qin Jing?"

Zhao Lingrui said vigilantly and suspiciously: "...Sister Qin Jing, usually she doesn't take the initiative to say hello to others easily, and she's still a man."

When Yan Wulu heard this, a black line seemed to fall down his forehead.

He didn't know why Qin Jing wanted to say hello to him?

It can't be just because he looks like her, right?

"Forget it, Sister Qin Jing won't steal a man from me anyway." Zhao Lingrui turned around and said. "...Remember to advance."

"...This princess has always been the first in everything! I don't want my future prince-in-law to participate in the martial arts competition, only to be eliminated after just one or two rounds."

"The princess has something to say, Wu Lu should do his best."

Yan Wulu was very polite. He suddenly looked at Zhao Lingrui's pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, "...Your Highness the Princess, can you temporarily give Wulu something... personal belongings?"

Yan Wulu thought carefully about his words.

Zhao Lingrui felt very strange when he heard this.

Temporary gift?

Your belongings?

But she didn't think much about it. For Zhao Lingrui, using her brain was always a troublesome thing.

"Currently, this is the only one I have that is more convenient."

As Zhao Lingrui spoke, she took out a silk sleeve handkerchief that was as bright red as blood agate from the sleeve of her riding uniform. It looked like it was worth a lot of money.

She threw it to Yan Wulu.
