The exam started on the second day. Because of the hard work of the first night, Ye Donglan did it very smoothly. In the afternoon, riding and shooting was a subject. For Ye Donglan, who had been in the army for more than two years, it was only a pediatric subject. Gathered in the school grounds with my master, academic officers, etc., because there were not many horses in the academy, they took the test in batches, and Ye Donglan just got into the last group, and stood by the side to watch many games. Some of these young masters like to ride horses and hunt Yes, riding and archery is different from other disciplines, and they are exceptionally outstanding. There are also those who can't even draw their bows without touching their fingers, especially those girls in the women's courtyard. , but lost his head because of shaking hands.

The riding and archery test was simple, and the test was extremely fast, and soon it was Ye Donglan's turn.

The groom led him a pure black horse, which was tall and strong. Ye Donglan had just observed it. This horse had a hot temper and was not easy to control. Before getting on the horse, he stroked the horse's head soothingly, but was The horse turned its head away, bared its teeth and let out a mouthful of hot air at him, Ye Donglan had no choice but to withdraw his hand and get on the horse.

It was just a sudden change. He had just sat on the saddle, and before he could tighten the rein and turn the horse's head, the horse suddenly neighed and rushed out uncontrollably, trying to knock Ye Donglan off the horse with its hoof raised all the time. The others were also frightened by such a turn of events, and stayed where they were at a loss, Ye Donglan shouted, "Stay away!"

He held the reins tightly and let the horse go to the open space deep in the school field, let go of the stirrup on one side, kicked the other leg tightly, bent over and leaned close to the horse's belly to prevent the horse from falling, and tightly restrained the horse with both hands. The rein hoped to stop the horse, but the rein was so rough that it cut his palm, blood poured down the field with the horse, and the yellow sand in the school field flew randomly, and the scene was in chaos.

Ye Donglan gritted his teeth and exerted a little more force. The horse seemed to be in pain, so he slowed down a bit, and kept raising his head, hoping that the force would relax a bit. Seeing the effect, Ye Donglan continued to exert force, and the fierce horse finally With a long hiss, Ye Donglan stopped on the spot, and Ye Donglan lost his strength, and fell to the ground from the position of the horse's belly. There were deep strangulation marks on both palms, and blood continued to bleed.

Everyone gathered around to help him up, many girls were frightened and hurriedly took out their handkerchiefs and asked Ye Donglan to bandage him. Pei Qian didn't expect such a thing to happen in the exam. He squeezed into the students, his face livid, "What's going on? .”

Ye Donglan panted heavily and shook his head, "The student doesn't know, the student just got on the horse, and the horse ran away in fright, uncontrollable."

Pei Qian watched the horse still circling uneasily, trying to get rid of something on its back, but Ye Donglan had already dismounted, and it only had the usual saddle on its back, as if suddenly thinking of something, Pei Qian raised his hand He touched the saddle, but he didn't know where he could feel it. He felt needle pricks from his fingertips. He let people untie the saddle. There were obviously a few silver needles on the horse's back. The needles had already pierced the horse's back, leaving only After walking outside for a short distance, the horse's back was oozing with traces of blood.

When Ye Donglan saw it, he suddenly realized, "Maybe someone hid a needle in the saddle. As soon as I got on the horse, the saddle was stressed, and the silver needle pierced the horse's back. The horse was startled in pain and lost control."

Pei Qian is kind and generous, seeing that Ma'er suffered a crime and Ye Donglan almost had an accident, he was very angry, "Who, who did it!"

"Bring the groom here!"

Ye Donglan's hands had already been wrapped in silk handkerchiefs randomly handed over by girls by an academic officer he had never seen before. The blood still permeated the light-colored silk handkerchief, staining the fresh and elegant embroidery on it red. It was all wrapped up, and it looked very funny. Looking at the pure black horse in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

The academy never assigns horses for the riding and archery class, so the horses used in the academy’s riding and archery classes are very gentle and easy to tame, but this one is the only one that is naturally fierce. Although it can be ridden by others, it always looks unwilling. Everyone jokingly called it the "Black Ancestor".

He was in the last group, and there was no accident before, which means that the silver needle was put on later, and the horses were randomly assigned for the test. If it was another horse with a gentle temper, Ye Donglan would be easier to restrain, but it happened to be this horse. It took Ye Donglan a lot of effort to handle a horse that was not easy to control. If he couldn't hold it, it would be a trivial matter if he fell off the horse and lost his arms and legs.

This made Ye Donglan suspect that someone wanted to kill him.
