Chapter 105 Dark Horse
After the first round of "commands", Princess Ankang became one of the few who got full marks.
After all, the cats at home are human-like, so getting full marks is really easy.
Different versions of the commands for this round were prepared according to the different types of trained animals.
But it seems that there is actually no need for that.
Among the princes and princesses, except for a few, the performance of others was not very good.
It was already excellent to get three points in the first round.
There were only three people who got full marks of five points like Princess Ankang.
In addition to Princess Ankang, one was the eldest prince and the other was the eighth prince.
These two people usually have the habit of raising birds and animals.
The eldest prince brought a pure black greyhound to the competition. It was of good quality and very obedient. It was obviously carefully trained.
But Li Xuan always felt that the greyhound looked familiar.
As for the eighth prince, he was very powerful. He brought a very handsome Saker Falcon.
Flying high with wings, suppressing the wind and clouds in thousands of miles.
This Saker Falcon has pure white feathers with long black spots on them, like sharp short spears.
This guy is strong, and his beak and claws are as sharp as iron hooks.
Of all the trained animals in the field, Li Xuan only noticed it.
Unfortunately, this Saker Falcon was very arrogant. Standing on the arm of its owner, it just looked up at the sky, with no intention of looking down.
It seemed that it didn't take the Eighth Prince, its owner, seriously.
"So cool."
Li Xuan pouted and didn't take it too seriously.
The second round was "OK".
This time the competition was actually an obstacle race. All you have to do is follow the set route and avoid all obstacles.
Failure to cross the obstacle will result in a deduction of points, and the overall performance will be judged in the end.
In this item, the Saker Falcon had a great advantage.
After all, flying is faster than running.
It only took some time when it encountered those few low passages that needed to be drilled through.
In this second round, if Li Xuan wanted, he could be far ahead.
But the speed shown in that way was too outrageous, so Li Xuan specially controlled the time to be similar to that of the Saker Falcon.
Although he showed very agile skills in the process, it was not impossible for Li Xuan to be a cat.
But everyone was very surprised. The cat raised by Princess Ankang was very extraordinary.
Even Li Xuan himself did not notice that there were several uninvited guests in the crowd.
And among them was the figure of Shang Zongguan.
He looked at the little black cat in Princess Ankang's arms with interest, and muttered to himself: "Is it you, little guy?"
"Finally, I can see your true face."
Speaking of which, although Shang Zongguan had come to Jingyang Palace several times, because Li Xuan deliberately avoided them, the man and the cat had never met.
But today's animal training competition made Li Xuan appear in front of Shang Zongguan unavoidably.
Because there were so many people in the Imperial Garden at this time, and the next round of competition was about to begin, Li Xuan did not notice the gaze of Shang Zongguan.
After getting excellent results in the first and second rounds, everyone began to notice Princess Ankang, the dark horse.
Especially the eldest prince and the eighth prince, who looked in the direction of Princess Ankang from time to time.
But their eyes were more on Li Xuan.
They couldn't understand why a seemingly ordinary little black cat had such an excellent performance.
Li Xuan's performance at this time was no less than the rare and precious animals they had painstakingly trained for many years.
Thinking back to the years of hard work they had put in, the eldest prince and the eighth prince felt like they were jumping clowns.
Suddenly, they felt that their own greyhounds and gyrfalcons were not so good.
"What kind of cat is this?"
"Is it a rare species?"
They didn't think there was a problem with their animal training skills, but began to find other gaps.
A typical mentality of "I can't beat the opponent, it must be because my phone is too slow."
Noticing their respective masters looking at the little black cat with eager eyes, the black dog and the Saker Falcon felt a little sour in their hearts.
Once upon a time, the masters' eyes only stayed on them, and only at the beginning.
"Men are all pigs!"
At this moment, the black dog and the Saker Falcon had a silent understanding in their hearts.
They looked at the cute human girl who was holding the little black cat in her arms, and they couldn't help but envy her.
At this moment, the eldest prince and the eighth prince coveted Li Xuan, and the black dog and the Saker Falcon coveted Princess Ankang.
The so-called sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, that's all.
Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were completely unaware of the lustful eyes, and were busy sticking to each other.
The competition was halfway through, and the results were very ideal, so they were naturally very happy.
At first, Princess Ankang was a little worried that she would get into trouble if she showed off too much.
But since she was ridiculed just now, she knew that even if she didn't show off, someone would still come to trouble her.
Instead of that, it would be better to win the game, get the prize, and then deal with the troubles that came.
The "ban" in the third round of the game was quite interesting.
The competition venue was a 20-meter-long runway with white lines on the left and right, and the width was about two feet.
The trainer had to walk to the other end with his eyes blindfolded, and during this period the owner could only use "ban" to issue orders.
For example, no right, no left, no forward, etc.
If the trainer went out of the runway, even if he stepped on the line, he would be deducted points. If he deducted too many points, he would get zero points directly in this game.
When training animals, generally only simple and direct commands are issued. Such a command method that requires thinking twice obviously tests the tacit understanding between the owner and the trainer.
But when Li Xuan saw that the runway was straight, he immediately smiled crookedly.
When it was his turn, there was no need for Princess Ankang to give more instructions. He walked directly from the starting point to the end point with cat steps.
Cats have a very strong ability to balance, and walking in a straight line with eyes blindfolded is just a basic skill.
On the contrary, the black fine dog and the Saker Falcon did not have such a skill.
The black fine dog is larger in size and will go out of line if it is not careful. The eldest prince needs to give instructions at all times to correct its direction.
But even so, the black fine dog still stepped on the line several times and was deducted a few points.
As for the Saker Falcon, it is similar. Although its size is slightly smaller, as long as it takes off, it will inevitably adjust the wrong direction due to the large amplitude, and it is easy to fly out of the range of the runway.
Therefore, the eighth prince asked the Saker Falcon to walk over, and also learned from the eldest prince to keep giving orders and guide it.
But it is obvious that the Saker Falcon's obedience is worse than that of the black fine dog, so it is deducted more points.
As a result, after three rounds, Princess Ankang actually took the leading position directly.
The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden also became weird.
Li Xuan and Princess Ankang felt that there were many more eyes on them, and they felt a pressure coming.
