Chapter 226 Horse Racing
Obviously, the Lord of the Three Wolves appeared to be humble and harmless on the surface, but in fact he didn't want to suffer at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was little suspense in the result of this competition, but the Lord of the Three Wolves still dared to put on a thick skin , and Ying Ze wants to win the lottery.
However, Ying Ze didn't respond to his question immediately. Instead, he looked serious and said to Lou Rongrong:
"Rongrong, you are not in good health. The riding and archery competition is not an ordinary fight with those friends. If you really like the third prince of Beiqin, Wuzi, you will give him the hard-earned BMW that the begging department paid tribute to this year. You, stop messing around."
Lou Rongrong understood Ying Ze's concern, but the hundred horses of the Northern Qin Dynasty were too exciting and worth the risk.
Lu Qin couldn't wait a long time ago, he slapped the whip on the ground, and said impatiently:
"So do you guys compare or not? If you want to compare, hurry up!"
Lou Rongrong saluted Ying Ze and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty atones, Rongrong is just as stubborn as the Ninth Princess. If he takes a fancy to the Lord of the Three Wolves, Wu Zai, he won't be able to see the horse next to him. I hope His Majesty will give Rongrong this chance to win from the Ninth Princess himself." Go back to your favorite horse."
Looking at Lou Rongrong's eyes, Ying Ze knew that this girl had made up her mind again, it was time for the nine cows to pull back, she couldn't help but get a headache, and wanted to dissuade her, but she saw Fei Yusu turning her head slightly , Lou Rongrong said something in a low voice.
Ying Ze sat at the head, far away, and couldn't hear clearly, but Lu Qin, who was standing in front of Lou Rongrong and the others, could hear clearly.
Fei Qusu asked:
"Do you have any chance of winning?"
Lou Rongrong withdrew the half-hearted smile on her face, and replied in response:
"[-]% sure."
Hearing this, Lu Qin was almost laughed at by Lou Rongrong's self-control, but Fei Wusu seemed to really believe Lou Rongrong's words, nodded slightly, turned around and stood up to Ying Ze to salute:
"Since Sister She insists, I ask Your Majesty to give the junior this opportunity, so that she can know the depth of her own abilities."
Ying Ze didn't expect that Fei Wusu, who was always the most nervous, would let go first. Guessing that Fei Wusu must have the bottom line in his heart, he was not so worried. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said:
"Since Fei Aiqing said so, let's compare it. Let's take the rare scimitar that the Xiahou Kingdom paid tribute to as the prize, what do the Three Wolf Lords think?"
Before the three wolves could make a statement, Lu Qin's eyes lit up, thinking of that beautiful scimitar, he immediately said:
"Okay! Just that machete! That's it! I'm going to lead the horse now!"
The three wolf lords who had just opened their mouths and had no time to speak in the future were directly blocked in their mouths. They could only acquiesce in the ending in front of them, but they cursed an idiot in their hearts.
With such a good opportunity, I can obviously ask for something more useful to Bei Qin, such as craftsmen and skills, like war horses to Daqing, these crafts and skills are to Bei Qin, like rivers to thirsty fish, but this idiot sister, Only herself.
Now that he decided to compete, Lou Rongrong also went down to prepare.
In order to prevent the wound on the inside of the thigh from affecting the horse racing, Lou Rongrong specially asked Chunhan to wrap thick and soft cloth on both thighs. The satin surface was smooth to avoid the friction of the wound.
Lu Qin's horse was brought by herself. It is a four-year-old maroon horse. It is a Northern Qin war horse. Its limbs, joints and tendons are well developed. It is half a head taller than Daqing's warm-blooded horse, with slender limbs. , Running has an advantage over Daqing's horses.
Du Juan went to fetch a big snow-white horse for Lou Rongrong. This horse was named Zhuyue. Together with her brother Zhuiyun, it was a famous horse donated by the tribe, but it had a rather irritable and unruly personality. There was no one in the tribe who could be tamed, and was later bestowed upon Fei Yusu, who replaced Fei Yusu's old war horse as his new mount.
On weekdays, the two horses were basically indifferent to everyone except Fei Wusu, so why would you want to ride them?That is even more impossible.
Only Lou Rongrong was an exception. Not only could he approach and even feed the two horses, he was also the only one besides Fei Wusu who could ride the two horses.
Before going on stage, Lou Rongrong gently stroked the horse's forehead and neck, put her cheek against the horse's cheek, and said softly:
"Zhuyue, I will rely on you in a while."
The red flag outside the arena was waving to signal both parties to enter the arena. Lou Rongrong stopped hesitating, grabbed the reins, turned on his horse neatly, drove the horse towards the arena, and stopped in front of the seats where the emperor and his ministers were watching the game.
Lu Qin, who came out from the other side, looked at Lou Rongrong in surprise. She thought that Lou Rongrong looked weak and coquettish, and even if she could ride a horse, she must be petty. Unexpectedly, Lou Rongrong was very leisurely and calm when riding a horse. Just looking at her riding posture, one can tell that she must be a good rider.
But it was too late to be amazed at this time. The young man in dark blue trousers and holding a red flag trotted all the way to the starting line of the field, saluted the emperor and the ministers, and saluted the two on the horse, signaling They rode their horses to the starting point and got ready, then raised the flags in their hands and announced loudly:
"Game start!"
Both of them tensed their nerves on the horse, and leaned close to the horse's back. The moment the red flag in the hand of the young man was waved down, they both rushed out like bows that were off the string.
Everyone looked nervously, and found that the two horses, one red and one white, were indistinguishable for a moment. Lou Rongrong looked young, but she was not afraid at all on the horseback. The scenery on both sides galloped by, and her gaze was always forward. Her expression was calm, her hand holding the rein was relaxed, it was obvious that she was not at her limit.
All of a sudden, many people looked at Fei Wusu in amazement. Everyone knew that the regent's righteous sister was born with insufficient skills, but no one knew that this Princess Tianlu had a good riding skill that was not inferior to that of Princess Beiqin. Never been seen before.
In the arena, only Fei Susu's expression was quite calm. Although Ying Ze knew that Lou Rongrong was trained by Fei Susu and her riding skills were good, he didn't know that she was such a "good" man. He couldn't help but admire him, and even thought about which steed to give to Lou Rongrong.
Lu Qin didn't expect that when he deliberately started running a little faster than usual, Lou Rongrong was able to keep up, and obviously, like himself, he also had spare energy, so he was shocked and angry at once.
She whipped the horse immediately, urging the horse to run forward faster, only to see the bay red horse neighing, suddenly speeding up, directly overtaking the white horse, everyone exclaimed, sweating for Lou Rongrong.
Lu Qin was proud of herself, but when she heard Lou Rongrong's "drive", the reining horse chased after her, and the speed was not inferior to her at all. In an instant, the distance between the two horses shortened again, and finally stopped behind her. The horse was half a horse's head away, no matter how hard Lu Qin tried, he couldn't shake Lou Rongrong away again.
