Chapter 23
After all, they not only have a common enemy, but they are also the same kind of people who must avenge themselves.
Zhao Yuan put down the cake and turned to stare at Xiao Qian seriously.
"what happened?"
"Among the three princes, I am most optimistic about you. Don't let me down."
This conversation would definitely make other people’s jaws drop when they heard it.
After all, who doesn't know that the person Princess Changle cares about the most is the fifth prince, and the enemy she hates the most is the fourth prince.
Xiao Qian laughed angrily at her words because she looked like she was betting on the bank.
"Then should I thank the princess for taking good care of me?"
"You know just be grateful."
While the two were talking, a guard in black came forward, cupped his fists and reported:
"Your Highness, the arena is ready. Do you want to bring out the bloody horse you want to compete with?"
Xiao Qian did not respond to the guard immediately, but turned his head and looked at the person next to him meaningfully.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan just stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of snack and ate it by himself, ignoring it.
She has tried her best to remind horse racing that there are differences, as long as Xiao Qian is not a fool.
Someone next to me heard the bloody carriage of His Highness the Fourth Prince and immediately sighed:
"The horses of His Highness the Fourth Highness are all as fast as lightning, especially the White Mysterious Horse among them, who is a victorious general."
At the mention of Bai Xuanma, everyone nodded in agreement. He could not be described as a victorious general.
Every year at this time, they hold a horse racing competition.
So far, Xiao Qian's Bai Xuanma has won every battle and has never lost a game.
However, this year, some of the horses competing in the competition were newly sent from the Western Region.
Rumor has it that it is no less impressive than Genma Bai.
I thought that if I was lucky enough to choose this fierce horse from the Western Region to beat the White Mystic Horse, I would definitely get special favor from Xiao Qian.
Everyone rubbed their palms together, eager to try.
Xiao Qian, who was so cold-eyed, didn't care about her unreasonable behavior.
He just nodded towards the guard and said:
"Lead them all, but for today's horse racing, I want to change to a new form of horse racing."
Those who heard the words were a little confused.
In previous years, their horse racing would involve one person riding a horse for three laps, and the person who reached the finish line first won.
I wonder how this new form of horse racing works?
After the guard ordered him to go down and lead the horse, Zhao Yuan slowly lowered his eyelids and felt a little irritable.
She didn't expect that after Xiao Qian had been reminded that there was a trap in horse racing, he would still play.
What kind of new form of horse racing is being prepared? As long as he takes the field, he will definitely fall off the horse.
When I thought about how hard I worked to help Xiao Qian save his legs, who knew he had a big head and had to hit it up.
Now she has to spend time and energy to find new partners, and her revenge plan is about to be postponed.
In an instant, Zhao Yuan was no longer in the mood to even look at the horse.
Xiao Qian, who always paid attention to the people around him, immediately realized something was wrong.
Looking at Zhao Yuan's darkened face, he immediately raised the corners of his lips secretly and touched his chin happily.
Zhao Yuan, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, couldn't control his impulse and smashed the snack in his hand to pieces on the table.
Now everyone's mind is on the competition field, and no one pays attention to Zhao Yuan's movements.
Only Xiao Qian's pair of dark and deep pupils stared straight at Zhao Yuan.
Knowing that he was watching, Zhao Yuan didn't bother to explain his actions.
Anyway, he was going to race horses soon, and soon he wouldn't be able to care about her.
While the two of them were speechless and stiff, the horses for the race were ready.
Stand in rows at the initial position on the field.
Zhao Yuan waited for several seconds until she caught a glimpse of Xiao Qian picking up the teacup and preparing to enjoy tea leisurely. She couldn't help it anymore.
"Why don't you go down and prepare for the game?" As soon as he finished speaking, an exclamation suddenly came from his ears:
"Look, each horse has a wooden sign of a different color hanging around its neck."
Then she heard a low laugh: "Who said that I have to participate in the horse racing in person?"
There were only horses with color tags on the field but no one. Everyone looked at Xiao Qian in confusion.
Amidst everyone's puzzled looks, Xiao Qian smiled and said:
"Everyone knows that I have acquired several fierce horses from the Western Regions. At the same time, I also know about a horse racing form from the Western Regions. It is quite novel and unique. I also want to try it."
Only after the guards read out the rules did everyone finally understand.
This time, unlike before, which required people to drive horses, horses with different colored brands were allowed to race by themselves.
They only need to choose the most promising horse and then place a bet on the wooden sign corresponding to the color of the horse.
As long as the winning horse is one of the top three that reaches the finish line first, you will get double the stake.
Of course, the higher the stake, the more you will earn.
Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows after hearing this. Isn't this gambling in disguise?
She felt inexplicably relieved when she learned that no one was going to play.
Looking at Xiao Qian's smiling face, he was also a little worried.
Because this kind of horse racing and betting competition also appeared in the previous life.
Many people became rich overnight, many people lost everything overnight, and it became popular all over the country.
But calculating the time, betting on horse racing should have happened five years after Xiao Qian’s legs were crippled.
In other words, what happened in the previous life is five years ahead of schedule in this life.
In this case, I wonder if Xiao Qian can avoid having his legs disabled if he doesn't play.
Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous.
She understands that it must be her intervention that caused things to happen in this life in advance.
Don't know if this is good or bad.
As soon as the horse racing rules came out, people became excited.
Apparently, they were also very interested in this new form of horse racing.
Everyone has an eager expression on their face.
The guards brought a very large wooden board with wooden signs corresponding to the colors of each horse.
Under the wooden board, there is a small table with paper and pen, as well as a record guard sitting to record the bettors and the amount.
This time, for the sake of fairness, Xiao Qian told everyone that Bai Xuanma would not play.
The sweat-blooded horses used in the competition and the fast horses from the Western Regions were both new horses he acquired, and he didn't know their speeds.
The scope is still limited to three laps, which is absolutely guaranteed to be fair and just.
After hearing Xiao Qian's words, people's enthusiasm for betting became even higher, which sounded very exciting.
As soon as the gongs and drums were beaten, everyone began to come to the wooden board to buy and place bets. It was very lively.
"Princess Changle, don't you want to go and have some fun?"
Xiao Qian leaned lazily on his chair and asked with a half-smile.
Zhao Yuan looked at Xiao Qian and said calmly: "No."
This kind of horse racing betting is indeed very tempting to people, but there is no wave in her heart.
And the reason why she attended this banquet was just because she cared about one thing.
"Such interesting games can't arouse Princess Changle's interest. Could it be that..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
Zhao Yuan knew from the tone that what he said was not good, so she frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Is it possible that only my coward Fifth Emperor brother who is so weak and needs a woman to protect him can arouse Princess Changle's interest?"
While Xiao Qian was teasing, he made no secret of his contempt for Xiao Yu.
If it had been in the previous life, Zhao Yuan would have definitely taken action against him when he heard someone insulting Xiao Yu like this.
