First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 754 Promotion! (Second update)

The rest of the people present did not know that the Black Wind King had retired, but Han Che knew it clearly.

This horse is old and can no longer fight. In addition, it was stimulated by some unknown source and went crazy to find its old owner. The Han family judged it to have no military value.

 The Han family announced that it was decommissioned.

 In fact, we don’t want it anymore and let it fend for itself outside.

According to Chu Nan, it will not hesitate to die for its old master after discovering that he will never come back.

So many days have passed and it is starving to death.

 What does it mean to stand in front of yourself properly?

 No, it’s not good either, it’s lost a lot of weight.

You must know that Han Che has always been envious of his elder brother's mount. He dreams of riding one one day and goes to see it every now and then, so he is very familiar with its appearance.

He suddenly understood that it must be Xiao Liulang who picked up the horse. Xiao Liulang was a doctor. Who knows what method he used to extend the life of the Black Wind King.

It's a pity that the Black Wind King has already lost his fighting spirit, so what if he lives longer? It’s nothing more than a walking zombie!

After thinking through all this, Han Che lost all fear and fear in his heart, and was replaced by boundless ridicule and disdain.

"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be you, Xiao Liulang." He rode on his Black Wind Cavalry, his eyes fell on Gu Jiao's heroic little face with a red birthmark, and said sarcastically, "You have no money. You bought a horse, so you stole the old Black Wind King from our Han family?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

 “What? Steal?”

 “Is his Black Wind King stolen?”

“Let me tell you, it’s obviously Han Shizi’s mount, how did it end up in the hands of this kid?”

 The cavalry players watching on the sidelines began to whisper.

Horses are to cavalry what weapons are to masters, and no one wants to have the best.

 But they often can’t get the best, and they never want their opponents to get it.

 If it belongs to a person who is beyond the reach of everyone, then everyone's psychology will be fairly balanced.

 But once it is taken away by an ordinary person, this balance will be broken instantly.

 The knowledge that "it turned out to be stolen" will undoubtedly make them feel better.

 It’s a pity that Gu Jiao’s existence is not to satisfy some people’s weak self-comfort mentality, she is here to crush their illusions.

Gu Jiao said calmly: "The Black Wind King of your Han family? Then try calling him. Do you think he responds?"

Han Che choked, stared at the horse on Gu Jiao, and said seriously: "King of Black Wind! Come here!"

 The Black Wind King does not move.

 “The Black Wind King!”

Han Che gave orders again.

 The Black Wind King is as motionless as a mountain.

Han Che frowned.

 Strange, this horse is usually not so indifferent to me. It won't let me ride, but at least it can give some response——

Han Che racked his brains, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Horseshoes! The horseshoes on its feet belong to our Han family!"

Gu Jiao patted the Black Wind King: "Come on, boss, lift up your horseshoe and let this blind man see it."

Han Che was angry: "Who do you think is blind?"

 The Black Wind King lifted his horse's hooves.

The horseshoes from the Han family have long since disappeared from its feet. They are the new horseshoes from the Imperial Master's Palace.

If he had the ability, Han Che would go and argue with the Guoshidian to see if the Guoshidian had stolen their Han family's horse?

Han Che gritted his teeth and changed his attack direction: "Xiao Liulang, you are not qualified to participate at all!"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "If I can come here, I am qualified. Speaking of which, didn't your Han family also invite someone to pretend to be a descendant of the collateral lineage?"

"You..." Han Che felt guilty.

Among the soldiers watching on the other side, his father's lieutenant shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to be led by Xiao Liulang again.

 The more he talks, the more he proves that the Black Wind King belongs to Xiao Liulang.

Every step Xiao Liulang took seemed to be an answer to Han Che's question, but in fact, Han Che fell into his trap.

Han Che took a deep breath, forced to calm down the irritable emotions in his heart, and snorted disdainfully: "What are you proud of? It's just an old horse that was thrown away by our Han family. Our Han family already has a new one." Black Wind King, you can take this old waste if you want!"

 “It turns out to be Lao Ma.”

 “It seems that I did hear that the Black Wind King has retired.”

 “Isn’t it too unkind to just throw it away after retirement?”

 “I heard that it ran away on its own.”

“It was obviously this kid who stole it!”

“Okay, what you said doesn’t matter. If you use an old horse to compete, is this kid crazy?”

 A sixteen-year-old horse is no longer useful.

If it were in the Han family, having an excellent horse trainer might be able to extend its service life, but in the hands of an ordinary boy, it would be no different than a piece of trash.

I don’t know if he sensed the emotions of everyone, or if the horse himself sensed the age of the Black Wind King.

What about the king?

 You are getting old after all.

 The young and strong ones are the winners on the battlefield!

 The battlefield belongs to them!

 “Everything is ready.”

　　With the examiner's sharp shout, several people each stood in front of their own fire bridge.

 In a sense, the cavalry on both sides have a slight advantage and are only affected by one side. The cavalry in the middle is simply attacking from both sides and has the greatest impact on the horses.

Gu Jiao is on the third fire bridge. On the left is a master from the Feng family, and on the right is another master riding a black wind rider.

 The overall length of the fire bridge and the blasting area are consistent, but not necessarily at the same position. For example, a fire bridge for someone starts at thirty steps and ends at seventy steps, while a fire bridge for someone starts at ten steps and ends at fifty steps.

 The same goes for blasting areas.

 This will cause great disturbance to the horse.

Gu Jiao tightened the reins in her hands and gently stroked the Black Wind King's neck.

 The Black Wind King is very calm.

 In comparison, the other horses were eager to try, but looked more like charging into battle than it did.

 It looks really old and indifferent to the dangers around it.

“Will it be unable to cross it later and be burned to death?”

“You won’t be burned to death, but you may be burned.”

“I think it looks like it’s struggling. Is it too old to move?”

Criticisms came from all around, and no one thought highly of the sixteen-year-old Black Wind King anymore.

The Feng family master said to Han Che: "It seems that the winner of this round will be between you and me!"

Han Che said arrogantly: "You are wrong, it is not your fault!"

The master of the Feng family said coldly: "We'll see!"

 The gong sounds and the game begins.

The horses tensed their muscles, jumped up, and rushed forward!

 This is the round in which the overall quality of the horses is the highest. Four of the six horses are Black Wind Riders, and the other two are also trained powerful war horses.

 They are swift and vigorous, they are invincible!

However-

 Gu Jiao’s horse did not move.

 Everyone: “…”

 Is it afraid?

 Or is it really Alzheimer’s disease?

“Look! Han Che’s horse rushed out of the Fire Bridge!”

Han Che took the lead and crossed the burning bridge of fire.

His fire bridge is located nearest, and it is not unusual to be the first to cross it, but his strong posture and skillful equestrian skills still amaze everyone.

Some people praised: "As expected of the younger brother of Crown Prince Han, this is what the Lord of Black Wind should have."

The other four horses also stepped onto their respective fire bridges one after another.

 Gu Jiao and Black Wind King became the laughing stock of the whole audience.

These two guys are here to make fun of you, right?

 This is all over—

 While everyone was laughing, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of their eyes, too fast to catch.

 Everyone was stunned.

 “What just happened?”

 “No, I didn’t see—”

 “Ah—that boy is gone!”

 The people who were originally staying at the same place disappeared.

 “Look! Up, up, up—”

Before he could finish saying the word "Fire Bridge," the Black Wind King had already rushed down the Fire Bridge with Gu Jiao.

 The Black Wind King caught up with the first opponent and left him far behind!

 The Black Wind King overtook the second opponent.

 The third, the fourth!

 The speed of all the horses seemed to suddenly slow down.

 In fact, it’s not that they are slow, but that the Black Wind King is too fast!

 Say it’s old?

 Say it can’t run anymore?

Then let you, the grandsons, go through half the journey!

The Black Wind King's terrifying explosive power stunned everyone. The muscles all over its body were tense, and the flow of texture lines could be clearly seen as it ran, which was a symbol of power.

Han Che leads the way and will soon reach his blasting area.

 He had just taken aim, and he left the second place far away.

 He must be the first—

There was a loud bang, and Han Che's heart jumped!

Black Wind Cavalry was not frightened, after all, he had been trained, but Han Che was not mentally prepared and almost fell off his horse!

 “Who is so—?” Han Che turned his head and looked.

With a swish, Han Che didn’t even see clearly, and the Black Wind King rushed into the blasting area of ​​the third track.

 Explosions staggered, smoke billowed, and dust flew. It was too fast, causing the frequency of triggered explosions to be high.

It was like lighting a whip, crackling and exploding randomly, disrupting the rhythm of the entire arena.

 Two horses ran wild on the spot, one ran off the track, and the other caused the cavalryman to fall.

 Both players are out.

 The Feng family masters used their internal strength to stabilize the frightened horse, but it didn't take long before they entered their own blast zone.

Han Che also entered at the same time.

 Another crackling.

 Another horse was frightened and ran away.

The Black Wind King was not affected at all. It roared and ran as fast as lightning, leaving Han Che and the Feng family masters far behind, the kind that even a chicken's blood couldn't catch up with!

 Gu Jiao clamped her legs around the horse's belly, her strength and the Black Wind King's strength seemed to be integrated into one. It was obviously the first time they fought, but it seemed like they had cooperated with each other thousands of times, and they seemed to have an innate understanding.

 It’s time to go to the high platform.

Looking from a distance, Gu Jiao felt that the platform was about the same height as herself.

 As I got closer, I realized that this stand was higher than Gu Changqing’s!

 At least two meters three!

“Get ready to speed up.” Gu Jiao stepped on the stirrups and stood up from the saddle, slightly vacated her body, leaned over and grabbed the reins, “Charge!”

The Black Wind King is actually incredibly fast, but no one expected that it could even accelerate!

Seven feet high platform, it rises from the ground and jumps!

The surroundings seemed to be silent all of a sudden, everyone held their breath, and the sound of explosions could not be heard.

 Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous about the Black Wind King.

This platform is too high. Can it be stepped on?

The Black Wind King easily stepped up and landed steadily on the high platform, proving with its strength that it was able to handle it with ease!

 What a useless old horse!

 You Han family are blind!

“Sir, the height of the platform is wrong, it’s one foot too high.”

 “Then it won’t come down soon!”

 “The cavalry has already gone up.”

 “Where are the Han family and the Feng family?”

　　　“Not yet.”

 “Then give it to me!”

 There is a mechanism under the table that can be raised and lowered freely.

Gu Jiao felt the table slowly move down.

 Hello, do you want to lower the height?

 Is it okay to cheat so openly?

In the crowd, some onlookers from aristocratic families were dissatisfied and complained: "Isn't this too much? If it doesn't come down early, it won't come down later. They only come down after everyone has gone up. This is not fair!"

Gu Jiao rode the Black Wind King, facing the direction where Han Che and the Feng family masters were running.

 She licked the corner of her lips with her tongue and said funnyly: "It's useless."

Han Che felt happy when he saw the platform lowered.

 He just said that the stage was not that high during training yesterday.

　　Now everything is foolproof.

 His lips curled up and he jumped on his horse.

The Black Wind King suddenly came over, raised his horse's hoof, and kicked him and his horse down!

Han Che was caught off guard: "...!"

This action is very dangerous because the platform is too high and the inertia may cause you to fall down if you are not careful.

 General cavalry would not let their mounts do this.

It’s just that Gu Jiao is not an ordinary person, and King Black Wind is not an ordinary horse.

If you dare to come, I will kick you!

The Black Wind King showed everyone its severely underestimated combat power.

It is like returning from Nirvana, even its strength has been reborn.

Han Che was knocked unconscious and was eliminated on the spot.

The Feng family master was cunning. He took advantage of Gu Jiao and Black Wind King's efforts to deal with Han Che and jumped up from the other side of the platform.

Unexpectedly, the Black Wind King came back with a gun and knocked down the Feng family master's mount!

 Feng family master: “I’ll go!”

A man and a horse fell from a high platform. In order not to be crushed into a pulp, the Feng family masters had to abandon their horses and run away.

 The master of the Feng family is out!

 “Promoted this round—Xiao Liulang!”

Asking for a vote for the Black Wind King~
