Chapter 535
The first scene ends and the second scene begins at the speed of light.
A group of five people enter the hunting forest and are required to survive in the forest for three days and can take whatever they want. After three days, the team with more than one member will be deemed to have passed the test. If one is missing or injured, they will be eliminated.
After drawing lots, sixty teams were formed, but before departure, they were told that only the top thirty would be selected. This means that half of the sixty groups have to go, and this is only the second game. There are still five games to come, and no one knows what else is going on.
People in the stands are not allowed to leave. They all need to live in the rooms arranged by the royal garden. Every two people have a dormitory. They can find their own companions, or the eunuchs can assign them at will.
Cheng Xue didn't know about this link. If she had known about it, she wouldn't have come to join in the fun. Now she is extremely passive and cannot leave even if she wants to.
Just when she was scolding Li Hui in her heart, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned her head to see the person clearly, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Why is it you?"
Xiao Feng's daughter-in-law Wang smiled and nodded, saying:
"Liaodong Mansion sent my husband to escort the candidates, so I came back to stay for a while."
Hearing this, Cheng Xue came closer and lowered her voice and asked:
"Are you looking for a husband for your daughter-in-law?"
Wang shrugged in acquiescence.
"Let's live together so that you don't become unfamiliar with others."
"Okay, okay. You're really sleepy and I'm giving you a pillow. I'm worried about who to live with."
After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she took her arm affectionately and went to find the head eunuch who assigned the sleeping quarters.
The process went quite smoothly, but each person was required to bring only one maid in, and there were many other people waiting here. Seeing this, Tianma and Chengxi had no choice but to drive away and come back to pick them up in the morning three days later.
The steward sent a young eunuch to lead them there, and the two of them followed behind, chatting as they walked.
"...That means you still want to go back after this exam?"
"That's normal, but before I leave, I have to help Qinglin get a wife. His father is stationed and can't come back, so his mother has to stay there, so we can only rely on us."
Listening to Wang's words, Cheng Xue had reason to suspect that this was the result of a discussion between Xiao Song and Xiao Feng.
Xiao's mother has always wanted to find a daughter from a wealthy family. Now that she has chosen a girl from a low-income family as the clan's wife, she feels quite unbalanced in her heart.
"In that case, if you need anything then just come to me. Anyway, I'm fine at home."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you."
After walking some distance, the young eunuch led them into the "Jichang Heart Garden". Since both of them were married and their husbands were officials of the third rank of the imperial court, they moved directly into the main hall.
"Madams, there may be young ladies who have not left the cabinet in the east and west side halls. You will need to take care of them then."
When Cheng Xue heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands.
"No, it's hard for me to take care of myself. I'd better let the aunt here take care of me."
When Wang heard what she said, she excused herself and said:
"I have a sore throat from traveling all the way. I would like to trouble my father-in-law to choose someone else."
Seeing this, the little eunuch made no further demands. He only said "I'm presumptuous" and turned to leave.
Soon, the aunt in charge came to the front and saluted respectfully——
"My maid, Lanqiu, would like to send my regards to the two ladies."
Wang: "Get up."
After Lan Qiu thanked him, he stood up and said:
"Just now, I heard that Mrs. Xiao is not feeling well. Could you please hire a doctor?" "No, Mrs. Li knows medical skills. She can just show it to me. Can you just go in the main hall and rest?"
"Back to Mrs. Xiao, the main hall is divided into east and west sides. You two can choose on your own. Everything has been packed away."
"Thank you."
As soon as she finished speaking, her personal maid and Bai Wei walked up to Lan Qiu in tacit agreement and stuffed her purse into her.
After entering the main hall, the two looked at the two sleeping halls on the left and right, and each chose where to stand. The inner hall is not small, and there is also a warm pavilion, which is clean and tidy. The bed is also made of golden nanmu, with a faint fragrance.
It is indeed a royal garden, and the dormitory is really big.
Bai Wei then came in with her things, bowed her knees and asked:
"Madam, should we cook the food we eat these days in the kitchen ourselves, or should we have them deliver it to us?"
"Send them all together."
"Yes."
Bai Wei turned around and went out again. Cheng Xue touched the quilt on the bed and once again sighed at the royal family's wealth. It feels so soft when you lie down, and your nose is filled with a light fragrance. He turned over and closed his eyes. He happened to wake up a little early in the morning, so it was no problem to catch up on some sleep.
She caught up on her sleep in the dormitory, while Li Heng and his companions found a mountain col to hide in the hunting forest.
"What should I do? What should I do? I saw it just now. It was a real bow and arrow. The candidate must be dead."
"I saw it too. Didn't you say that the martial arts exam is not dangerous? Why do you want to kill people?"
When Li Heng heard this, he turned around and saw a dark-skinned man about his age, and asked:
"Liaodong people?"
"Yes. Liaodong Mengshao, that's what I heard you say just now."
Li Heng nodded, listened carefully to his surroundings, and whispered:
"Li Heng, Pingyang County, Liaodong, came to the capital with my father. Xu Chang, among us, you are the most familiar with this place. Where are we going?"
I don’t know whether it was intentional or God’s arrangement, but he and Xu Enyang’s son Xu Chang were assigned to the same group. The fathers of the two families worked together, and because they had to take the martial arts exam together, they met and had dinner in advance under their father's arrangement.
Xu Chang is completely different from his father. He has great ideas and doesn't show off, so Li Heng likes to get along with him.
Looking around, Xu Chang pointed to the southwest and said:
"There is one over there at the back of the hunting forest. We will go there to recuperate for two days, and then we will set off the next night."
Li Heng felt that this suggestion was reliable. Looking at the three more people, they all had the same goal as him. The five of them ran towards the southwest.
Along the way, I saw a group being chased, a scene of two groups fighting, and a group that borrowed a knife to kill...
The five of them are like marginalized people, always wandering on the periphery, never entering, let alone participating.
At the top of the mountain, the wolf lowered his head to peep into the yong, nodding his head and saying:
"Your apprentice is pretty good. He knows how to avoid sharp edges and knows how to make good use of people."
The direction seems to be towards the back of the hunting forest. Don't miss the big gift that will come to them after they get there. Let's see if you can catch it.
Seeing how comfortable he was, Wen Tian frowned and reminded:
"Let me tell you, they have assembled most of the patrol battalion. Are you sure you don't want to report to the palace?"
"I didn't tell you to go! Hurry up."
"I won't go, Heng'er is here, I have to watch." Wen Tian refused without hesitation.
Looking at his hopeless look, the wolf leader took a deep breath and said:
"Are you sure you don't want such a good opportunity? Let me tell you..."
"Stop talking, I won't listen." Wen Tian interrupted directly without thinking...
