Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 160 True Chollima!

The Royal Hippodrome is extremely spacious, with enough space for the horses to show off their skills.

The horsemaster rode the white horse and galloped here. At first, the officials were interested in observing the horse's reaction, but after a long time, they also felt a little bored.

It was noon, and Li Shimin gave a banquet to all the officials with a wave of his hand. Those who stayed could be considered to taste the deliciousness of the royal dishes. Anyway, that was the day. As for the outcome, we will wait and see.

Fortunately, Lin Heng could think of putting an iron piece on the horse's hoof. At this moment, many officials also had little confidence in Lin Heng.

They can wait, but the officials at the Royal Racecourse can't wait any longer.

The family has sent people to inquire about the situation several times, and the officials have declined several times.

What matters is what he says. His Majesty's horse is not stopping for a moment, and he can't talk nonsense without seeing the result.

Perhaps the person who was entrusted with the message was a little impatient after running several times and finding nothing, so he simply asked directly about the current situation.

A hammer, a hoof cutter, a few pieces of iron, a few nails?

Are you going to dawdle over such a crappy thing?
Isn’t it certain that Lin Heng cannot solve this problem at all?

After returning home, he immediately reported the matter to the person in charge of the family.

Everyone who learned about this also looked strange.

"What is Lin Heng doing?"

"Can that thing really solve the problem of horses?"

"Needless to say, it's definitely not going to work. It's just stalling for time. Think about it, if I put iron plates on your feet, will your feet hurt more or will the iron plates wear out more?"

Of course, there's no need to say much. Anyone with a reasonable mind will know the answer.

After all, it’s already noon. If you delay it any longer, you will definitely run out of time and you won’t be able to make more money.

Cui Hong directly ordered: "Spread the news about Lin Heng at the Royal Race Course. The industries under the aristocratic family will increase their losses and guide the people to place more bets. At least it will be controlled to one to ten!"

Meanwhile, here at the Royal Racecourse.

Because waiting was really boring, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling had already started playing chess.

Normally, the horse would run for several hours without getting tired. Today, it was no different from usual. The white horse seemed to be more energetic.

Lin Heng was also playing poker with Li Ningxi and others.

Changsun Wugou saw that it was quite interesting, so he joined in.

Therefore, Li Lizhi, who originally had a stable position, was squeezed out and could only watch from the side.

"Hey, Lin Heng, does your horseshoe work or not? I've bet money on you. You must not lose and let me lose money."

Lin Heng twitched his lips, wondering how much money a child could deposit, so he didn't care.

"Can you wait until the horse is finished and stop watching?"

Li Lizhi was a little dissatisfied, but did not continue.

This is money that I have saved for several years. If I lose, it will be all gone.

Changsun Wugou scolded softly from the side: "Changle, as a princess of a country, how can you participate in gambling like ordinary people? This matter must never happen again!"

She also thought that Li Lizhi just thought it was fun, so she didn't take it seriously and just criticized her behavior.

If the eldest grandson Wugou knew now that his precious daughter had gambled with [-] yuan, he would probably have to teach her a lesson on the spot.

Li Chengqian on the side wanted to speak, but held back.

She still feels sorry for this sister, and he will teach her a lesson later.

It is a ten-mile journey around the horse racing field. Every time you run a lap, someone will record it.

Li Shimin was playing chess. He looked at the time and saw that it was already afternoon. Then he asked, "How much have you run?"

"Your Majesty, thirty and one, there is no problem."

Li Shimin nodded and continued playing chess.

Lin Heng, who was on the side, heard this and asked curiously: "How long is the distance to this racecourse?"

Li Ningxi laughed and said: "It's about ten miles, or a little wider. My father's horse has traveled as far as five hundred miles in one day, so this is not a problem for it."

Lin Heng was shocked when he heard this. He had traveled three hundred miles without stopping, right?
It only takes a handful of fodder to cover a hundred kilometers, and this horse is quite powerful.

He even wanted to build a BMW like this... Changsun Wuji had actually been paying attention to the horse's condition.

"How many laps has it been now?"

"Thirty and five."

"Nothing unusual happened?"

"No."

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly when he heard this, then stood up and stared at the horse in the distance.

It's approaching evening, and there's still more than half an hour before the market opens.

The people of Chang'an also bet more enthusiastically, and the odds at this time have reached [-] to [-].

The Aristocratic Family directly added fuel to the fire by locking the odds to one to ten. In order to prevent problems with the betting market, they directly stopped betting.

Odds like this are extremely rare in Chang'an, and even ordinary rip-off games would not dare to play like this.

The news from the Royal Racecourse has not yet been dispersed, and officials are still waiting for the outcome.

The people here are also eagerly looking forward to it, and are ready to take the money directly home that night.

At the Royal Racecourse, Li Lizhi was already a little tired. She leaned on Changsun Wugou's shoulder and yawned.

"Mother, how many laps has this horse run? Why can't it stop?"

Changsun Wugou raised his head and looked at the sky. Thinking that it was time to end, he got up and found Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, how many laps are there now?"

Li Shimin stood up and spoke slowly: "Fifty and nine, it is a full hundred miles farther than the distance we ran before. This lap will be completed soon."

Changsun Wugou said worriedly: "I have been running for a whole day without stopping. Is there anything going to go wrong?"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Guanyin Maid, you underestimate this horse too much. This horse was born in the Western Regions and runs in the wind and sand of the desert all year round. When it was sent to me, the envoy specially reminded me that this horse needs to be eaten every day. It will need to run at least a hundred miles to activate its muscles and bones, I'm worried that it will be restrained here!"

After saying that, he also looked at the sky. It was going to be dark soon, so he ordered: "Stop and rest after running this lap. No matter how small the wear and tear on the six hundred miles of road is, you can see it."

At this time, the officials also cheered up again.

I've suffered a lot today, and I'm going to die just from being exposed to the sun.

Most of the people here are civil servants and they are pampered and pampered. How can they stand this?
The clerk at the racecourse also stepped forward to give a reminder. It was already a horse master who was riding a horse for six hundred miles. After the horse stopped, he collapsed directly to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister... You have lived up to your trust!"

All the officials were shocked, and Li Shimin quickly sent for the imperial physician to come over. After a simple diagnosis, the imperial physician confirmed that nothing was wrong, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The horse is not tired, but the man is already exhausted...

On the other hand, the white horse was still resolute, but it was also panting heavily, obviously very tired.

I ran non-stop for half a day. Whose horse can handle it?

"Your Majesty, why not take a look at the wear and tear of the horse's hooves first?"

"On a road of six hundred miles, if an ordinary horse were to run like this, half of its hooves would have been worn away. Even His Majesty's BMW would have suffered considerable damage."

"Huh? It's an illusion. Why are the horseshoes the same as the horseshoes that were just installed?"

"It seems to be true, Prince Consort Lin, can you take off this horseshoe and take a look?"

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Of course you can..."

After Lin Heng removed the horseshoe from one of the horses' hoofs, everyone's eyes widened.

"This...how is this possible?!"

"Why do I only see a little wear and tear? Could it be that my eyesight is bad?"

"Then everyone's eyes can't be so bad, right?"

As everyone looked at him again and again, shock gradually spread like a plague on the faces of everyone present, including the officials of the racecourse.

His face was already pale and he immediately sent someone to pass the news.

I just hope it’s too late now!
