After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Tonight is destined to be a restless night.

Because someone was seriously injured during the afternoon hunt and had to be carried out, and because after the Crown Prince left the Emperor's tent, there was a noticeable increase in guards and patrols around the area.

At this point, no one cared who had hunted the most game that day; everyone was concerned with what had happened in the hunting grounds.

However, in the end, of course, no one provided a specific explanation.

So most people waited quietly in their respective tents, cautiously entering to rest.

Fortunately, nothing else happened that night, and we were safe until dawn.

As smoke rises from the chimneys and the sun shines, everyone's spirits are lifted.

Those who participated in the hunt today were waiting outside the hunting grounds early in the morning. When Qin Wanyou and Murong Xiao arrived, they saw that the emperor and the princes and princesses of the other two countries were already sitting in their respective places.

Qin Wanyou and Murong Xiao bowed to the Emperor and nodded to the others before taking their places.

When the hour of Chen arrived, almost everyone had arrived. Without further ado, the Emperor announced the start of the ceremony.

The first competition was held in a large paddock, which was divided into several different tracks.

The hunters enter the enclosure, where referees will periodically release small prey such as rabbits and small roe deer. The challenge is for the hunters to catch these animals as quickly as possible.

There were quite a few people watching in front of the enclosure.

At the referee's command, all the contestants rode their horses at full gallop across the hunting grounds, where some of the prey had already been placed in different locations.

Although it was called a hunting competition, Qin Wanyou felt it was more like an equestrian archery competition.

On the field, the contestants sometimes stood on their horses, looking down at their prey to hunt; sometimes they bent over and lay on their horses to shoot at the prey in front of them; and sometimes they bent over, leaned their bodies, and straddled their horses with one leg to shoot a brilliant arrow.

The spectators were amazed by the brilliant technique and applauded and cheered continuously.

The tension and fear I felt last night were instantly dispelled by this wonderful and exciting scene; now I only feel excited.

There were also quite a few people shouting outside the venue.

"come on! Come on!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's over there, over there, hurry up!"

"Hey, the rabbit ran away! What's wrong with that guy? Why isn't he shooting the arrow?"

……

The spectators on the high platform at the sidelines were also caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere below. Some craned their necks forward, while others even considered leaving their seats to shout. However, because the Emperor was seated above, they dared not make too many movements, fearing they would be disrespectful in his presence. Yet, they didn't want to leave to watch from below, but they also wanted to curry favor with the Emperor.

When it was almost time, Princess Chu Yue asked, "I wonder which team Emperor Yan thinks will win?"

Emperor Yan stroked his beard. "Of course I hope that Great Yan will win. However, the competition is fierce, and every contestant is exceptionally capable. Until the very last moment, the outcome is uncertain."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"What the Emperor Yan said is absolutely right. Everyone has improved a lot over the years. However, I believe that we, the people of Da Jiang, will definitely win this competition."

Jiang Qiyun spoke with extreme confidence.

Princess Chu Yue chuckled lightly, "Second Prince Jiang, don't be too confident, or you'll be dealt a blow later. Our Chu Yue has a great chance of winning too."

The Second Prince Jiang remained calm and said, "We'll wait and see!"

The atmosphere shifted slightly, with a sense of undercurrents of competition among the participants.

Suddenly, the Third Princess Murong Shuang spoke up, "I've heard that Princess An was once extremely skilled in horsemanship and archery, and her hunting ability was exceptionally precise. I wonder if she could predict which team will win?"

Qin Mingzhu immediately chimed in, "That's right, my sister's precognitive abilities have always been impressive. Could you tell us about the rankings so we can be mentally prepared?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Prince An's side.

Qin Wanyou's lips twitched slightly.
