Chapter 26 Horse Racing
Seeing this painting, I couldn't help running all the way, and then fell to the ground, rolling happily, and stained with green.
Since the riding and shooting course is mostly aimed at men, generally speaking, women are just following the way, so... I looked around: the shade has been covered with a canopy and covered with a square mat. Jin Zan Yuer's Afu was shaking her fan and talking and laughing with Luo Qianjin, who covered her face with pearl veil.
"Your Highness, come and have a rest after the summer sun." After contact, I found that Luo Qianjin was not as indifferent as her appearance, but often took care of her because she was a few years old. I was about to follow her greeting, but I didn't want to turn around and see a person, so I immediately changed my mind.
A delicate and slender woman in a narrow-sleeved Hufu came slowly. Her hair was high, her left hand held an iron bow, and her back was slanted across the cowhide quiver. The light red ears jumped around on the buckle of the bag, which was really heroic.
The person who came was my "enemy" - Tanglin. Because of the embarrassment with her in public on the night of the night banquet, after I entered school, she used her tripping skills to the fullest: all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants always favor my seat, and my homework often disappeared... However, when I took a cauliflower snake When I picked it up on the seat and pinched it in my hand to watch it calmly with her; or when I greeted Tang Ying to find my textbook from the tree hole and found her personal embroidery bag, the change in someone's face was really amazing.
At that time, she passed by me, her eyes slightly, and her tone was quite proud: "Your Highness, the scorching sun is indeed not suitable for your delicate body. It's better to rest in a gloomy place. When Alin comes back for the head hunter, he will have a good dinner next day."
Duguhong and Wang Jian have also finished changing their clothes and come here together. They are all red and blue, all with narrow sleeves, short clothes and long boots. Dressing up like this, the little boy is needless to say, and his beautiful eyebrows are even more romantic. Even Wang Jian is no longer bloated and energetic.
"All nobles, the horses are ready, and the teachers are waiting in the woods ahead." The speaker should be dressed as a horse attendant in the hunting ground, with thick black skin and a big mole on his left face.
"Hear down."
I saw Afu Qianqianguaner: "I have a proposal to ask your staff, how about it?"
"Well, come on." Duguhong looked at the direction of the forest in front of him.
Afu frowned, and his lips were smiling: "What's the fun of riding and archery alone? This is the next time, haven't you played enough?"
Duguhong was about to speak, but was stopped by Afu: "Don't be anxious. In my opinion, how about a big test if we all participate today?"
"Wonderful! What are the rules? What is the reward for the winner? And the person at the bottom..." Tanglin seemed to glance at me: "What should I do?"
"This world is the starting point." Afu pointed to a stone tablet lying on the grass: "And the forest waiting for Lord Yan is the end. We rode there, and those who went to the woods first were the winners. How about taking this as the prize? Afu untied a clear and clear glazed pendant around her waist.
"As for the bottom, let the winner decide how to deal with it..." She looked at Tang Lin and turned to me: "Sister You, do you think this method is feasible?"
Afu and Tang Lin had a completely optimistic attitude. The little boy stopped talking, and even Wang Jian looked up at me more.
"This..." I seemed embarrassed, but it was funny in my heart. Usually, when I practice shooting, I always take the opportunity to be lazy, and every time it's my turn to abstain. Anyway, it's a game, and no one will care about this. Over time, everyone thinks that I'm clumsy because of my skills, but they don't know "however the dog girl comes from".
"Ayou, you have a specialty. It's just a game. Don't be too serious. You just follow me." Duguhong wants to relieve me.
"Well, that's fine. I hope I won't fall down." My answer caused a sneer.
"Since it's a game, you don't have to take risks. Princess Chang'an, let's not abstain and ride it slowly." Luo Qianjin came over and took my arm.
"Sister Luo, although Ah Hong is young, he is a real master of riding and shooting. There is no need to worry about him." I winked at the little boy, and he would nod: "Well, I'm in everything!"
"That's it. "Servant!"
"What's the order of Princess Le Yao?"
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to replace all our horses with northern horses, especially Princess Chang'an's. It must be the most sophisticated and safe, understand?"
"...honor."
"Go and help, don't make mistakes!" Afu also instructed her personal maid to go. It is reasonable that she could not bring maidservants when Zong Xue, so Lan Ying and Xiuxiu were just waiting outside the hunting ground. However, Afu never left the four palace attendants on the grounds of physical weakness.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a row of strong and handsome northern horses were listed in front of us, and we have changed our riding clothes.
The horse attendant pulled out a strong and slender white horse from it and made a gesture. The horse raised its head and hissed, soaring on three legs. What a beautiful horse! Everyone sighed.
"Sister You, it's up to you to ride this horse." If my father didn't force me to know the horse, maybe I would also think that Afu turned to show me a favor. Unfortunately, although this horse is beautiful in appearance, it has a great defect: its eyes are lax and should be a sick horse.
"So beautiful, ut, this horse is very good." I looked very happy. I couldn't wait to step on the horse, but I failed again and again. Finally, I pouted in frustration: "It's a pity..."
"In this case, it's up to me." Tanglin squeezed me away, jumped up, and acted neatly.
"Girl, that's the princess's horse! How to make it?" After all, Afu promised this waitress a lot of good. I think he can't wait to drag Tanglin down.
Afu also wanted to speak urgently, but was stopped by Duguhong: "That's good. Change Ayou for a shorter horse, and don't delay any longer." Then he turned over and was ready to go.
As a result, I chose a seemingly ordinary thin horse, and others didn't think so. Instead, the horseman who helped me get on the horse looked at me in surprise. Dad said, "Choosing a horse and looking at people are actually the same thing. They can't be quantified by their appearance. They should be their advantages and disadvantages, and they should be chosen according to their own facts." Although the horse's appearance is not good, its body is dry and strong, and the lines are clear and the outline is smooth. It may not have the endurance to travel long distances, but it is a good choice for a short-distance sprint.
As soon as the horse attendant's command came down, our five horses galloped out. When we set out, everyone was almost the same, except that alone was slightly ahead of half the horse position.
Then Tanglin raised her long whip, and the white horse hissed and ran forward. Unexpectedly, she threw everyone several meters away. She blew a whistle proudly.
"Driving~~" Duguhong also drove to catch up. I noticed that the limbs of the white horse had begun to tremble, and the movements gradually became uncoordinated. Looking at the right time, my legs tightened and my whip accelerated. This horse lived up to my expectations and jumped to the front of the team.
"Be careful, don't show your ability!" I heard Du Guhong shouting anxiously in the back.
"No." I shouted and didn't look back. I had to chase after me with the sound of some messy horses' hoofs behind me.
I saw a man with tight sleeves holding a long bow and standing in the forest, hey! It's not Yan Yun who is. Today it's his turn to be a jockey and shooter.
Victory was in sight, and I accelerated again and rushed to Yan Yun.
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and Tanglin, who had been lagging behind me by more than one horse position, suddenly overtook him. It shouldn't be. Since the horse is sick, how can it be so explosive?
It seems that my judgment is still not comprehensive enough to fully understand the strength of this sick horse. Fortunately, it's not the last place, Afu. I'm afraid you have to be at the bottom this time.
The speed of the white horse was incredible. Obviously, his limbs were uncoordinated, and he could throw my horse out several meters, which took Tanglin to the end in the blink of an eye.
I rushed over to protect the second place.
Huh, how did she rush over? The situation was wrong. Tang Lin screamed and Yan Yun hurried towards me. I was stunned and chased after him before I could stop.
"Stop, come on, horse..." The roar behind me was in a mess. I couldn't take care of it. I just looked at Tanglin, who kept crying but couldn't hold back the horse. It was close. I was only a few meters away from her.
I hurriedly blew the whistle my father taught me. It was said that no matter how crazy the horse was, it would calm down. As a result, the white horse still went crazy as if it had never heard of it.
"You, you brag, it's even more crazy. Don't hurt me, I, I won't let you go, woo~~~
"Tanglin, don't worry..." I stretched out my hand and tried to grab her reins. I tried several times but failed. Just as I was concentrating,
"Be careful!"
"Jump, horse..."
"Ah?" I even felt a sense of inertia throw me out before I could react. There was a faint scream from Tanglin in my ear. A tender hand seemed to hold me, and then there was a dark curtain.
It's that dream again. The woman with willows curling on her head stands opposite her back.
The little girl sat on the ground, hugged her shoulders tightly, looked at the woman's back trembling, and kept choked.
"No, don't cry, upset." The woman finally spoke.
"Mother..." The little girl whispered.
"Call me Your Highness!"
"Mother, mother, mother!" With a louder, the little girl's voice was simply shouting.
"How can you be so disobedient?" The indifferent voice finally had an emotion.
"Why can't I call you mother? You are obviously."
"Enough, you believe what that man says, and it's so easy to take your heart?" The woman turned around and could not see her appearance, but she could feel her anger. However, if you insist on calling me like this, you can also call me. The woman's temperament changed, and the little girl looked up at her.
"You have to exchange it. There is no free food in the world, even the closest person will not give it to you!"
"This, I." The little girl thought hard.
"Why not," the woman buried her head and swept the black veil on the little girl's ignorant face: "Just listen to a secret. But you have to swear that you will never reveal it, otherwise, your mother will never be born even if she goes to hell!"
