Chapter 681: Horse Racing
Just as the two were warming up, a group of girls came out behind them, all of them were wearing professional horse racing equipment, and their slender bodies were vividly displayed in tight racing suits, coupled with their white faces, each of them was a beautiful woman.
The leading beauty greeted the tall and thin man with a beard: "He is always good!"
It turned out that this tall and thin man with a beard was surnamed He, Liu Chen suddenly smiled and asked, "Your surname is He?"
The tall and thin bearded man replied, "yes, you never seem to have asked my name." ”
Liu Chen's explanation was still arrogant, "I'm not interested in the names of the defeated generals, but you are an exception this time." ”
The tall and thin man with a beard asked curiously, "Why?"
"I have an inexplicable affinity for anyone who is good at marksmanship. ”
The tall and thin man with a beard heard Liu Chen's praise of himself for the first time, and instantly felt that Liu Chen was also very interesting, and he said with a smile: "My name is He Potian." ”
"Breaking the sky? Such a domineering name. ”
"Haha, I changed my name when I became an adult. ”
After chatting and the warm-up was done, the two began to choose horses, He Potian had his own professional horses, and after he took his own war horse, he asked Liu Chen to choose the remaining horses.
There were a total of five horses in front of him, and the five beauties led the horses to stand in a row, waiting for Liu Chen's selection, Liu Chen felt like an ancient emperor flopping his concubine, and this feeling made him very excited.
To be honest, the quality of these horses is quite good, and these girls are also top-notch, Liu Chen's gaze swept over these girls, and suddenly saw that one of the girls had been lowering her head, looking a little reluctant, Liu Chen felt very puzzled, so he stepped forward.
Liu Chen lowered his head and glanced at this girl's face, it was a familiar face!
"It's you???" Liu Chen exclaimed softly.
The girl raised her head and looked at Liu Chen, her expression also became extremely shocked, "You ......"
He Potian heard Liu Chen's reaction and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, just this horse. Liu Chen nodded at the horse led by the girl in front of him, but his attention was always on this girl, this girl was none other than Li Zhiqian, whom Liu Chen met on the plane.
Liu Chen's thoughts were all on Li Zhiqian, he didn't expect to meet Li Zhiqian here, wasn't she a flight attendant, why did she suddenly come to this racecourse to be a waiter, what did she go through?
Although there are so many questions, it is not convenient to have too many conversations at this time, Liu Chen also saw the unspeakable hidden in Li Zhiqian's eyes, it seemed that when she saw Liu Chen, she saw new hope, from the previous reluctance to be particularly active, and a smile appeared on her face.
Li Zhiqian seemed to be a different person, especially enthusiastic, preparing some protective measures for Liu Chen's horses and changing into new equipment. After arranging the horses, she took another bottle of water and handed it to Liu Chen: "Drink saliva." ”
Liu Chen felt like he had returned to his time in Amutu, and at this moment he missed that good time, he took the water, opened it and took a sip, handed it back to Li Zhiqian, and thanked: "Thank you." ”
When Li Zhiqian reached out to take the water bottle, Liu Chen clasped his hand on the back of her hand, patted it gently, looked at her affectionately, nodded, and his eyes were particularly firm.
Li Zhiqian knew that Liu Chen was encouraging herself, telling herself that no matter what happened, everything was with him, this was the tacit understanding between the two of them, with Liu Chen's encouragement, Li Zhiqian was in a much better mood, and she no longer resisted and was afraid in her heart, she believed that Liu Chen could help her solve all her troubles, just like she did in Amutu.
Liu Chen took the reins of the horse from Li Zhiqian's hand, stepped on the stirrup, and with a slight force, the whole person turned over and got on the horse, sat on the saddle, stood upright, and looked down at everything below.
Seeing that Liu Chen got on the horse, He Potian also got on his own exclusive war horse, and his movements were very skillful, and it could be seen that he and this horse already had a deep tacit understanding.
Li Zhiqian walked to the horse, reached out and touched the hair on the horse's neck, looked up at Liu Chen and said, "Come on!"
"Hmm. Liu Chen nodded, shook his legs slightly, the horse took a few steps forward, the guardrail opened, and came to the starting line.
He Potian rode to Liu Chen's side, turned his face and asked with a smile, "Do you know that girl?"
Liu Chen shook his head and denied: "I don't know, I just think she's beautiful." ”
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Liu is also suave. ”
Liu Chen smiled cooperatively, and turned his head to look into the distance.
The two men sat high on their horses, bent down slightly, their hands on the reins and whips, ready to go.
At the referee's whistle, the two horses rushed out like arrows from the string, and a puff of dust rose from the ground.
The two of them started very perfectly, and the first fifty meters have been neck and neck, regardless of victory or defeat, but Liu Chen did not see any pressure on his face, but smiled at He Potian on the left from time to time.
He Potian's horse racing skills have always been famous for starting, in the starting link, he can establish an absolute advantage, but this time, in the face of an opponent he has never seen, his start failed to open the gap, which makes him feel a certain pressure, can only hope that the opponent's future is not so fierce.
The next fifty meters, the two sides are still neck and neck, for the two-lap system, the second fifty meters, is just the beginning, Liu Chen is not in a hurry to exert force, his purpose is to test He Potian's strength, the future is not to be opened up is a successful strategy.
He Potian turned his head to look at Liu Chen from time to time, his future advantage was not taken advantage of at all, the calm and calm expression on Liu Chen's face made him feel the pressure even more, he gritted his teeth, whipped hard, and shouted loudly: "Drive!"
Driven by the whip, the horse angrily opened its legs, its speed increased instantly, and it rushed forward as if it had added an accelerator, and in the blink of an eye, it opened up the distance between it and Liu Chen.
Liu Chen fell behind for the first time, but he was not in a hurry, but ran forward at his own pace, and the gap between him and He Potian remained at about fifty meters.
The track of the entire racecourse is 1,600 meters of international standard, and after 500 meters in front, there is a viewing platform overhead, and Xu Zhangtai and Wu Sheng are watching the race.
"Come on, come on, come on!" the group of brothers behind Xu Zhangtai shouted hard to cheer for him.
Although Wu Sheng was only one person, he was not to be outdone, and cheered for Liu Chen with his throat, and now that Liu Chen was behind He Potian, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Liu Chen heard Wu Sheng's cheering, stretched out two fingers to the sky, and made a victory gesture, being able to make this gesture when he was behind, which shows the confidence in Liu Chen's heart, and Wu Sheng no longer has any worries, Liu Chen is still the familiar Liu Chen.
At the end of the first lap, the two always maintained a distance of fifty meters, Liu Chen was not in a hurry to catch up with He Potian, but intently observed He Potian's posture and the pace of the horse's running, he was a person who paid great attention to details.
The first lap was near the end and came to the starting point just now, Liu Chen thought that he would hear Li Zhiqian's cheering, but when he passed, he didn't hear Li Zhiqian's voice, but saw Li Zhiqian's hands clenched in his chest, his face full of anxiety and worry.
Liu Chen felt very strange, although he was temporarily behind, but it was only a distance of fifty meters, there was still a lap behind, there was enough time and opportunity to overtake, when he was in Amutu, Li Zhiqian had absolute confidence in his ability, at this time......
After a moment of hesitation, the race entered the second lap.
Liu Chen raised his head and saw He Potian in front of him giving him a thumbs up on the curve, making this action at this time was undoubtedly a provocation, Liu Chen also began to prepare to speed up to catch up, he stepped on the stirrup firmly with his legs, waved the whip and whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and then quickly chased forward.
Liu Chen suddenly sped up his speed to catch up, and He Potian, who was in front, glanced back, and also sped up, trying to open the gap with Liu Chen again, at least to maintain the current gap, and not to be caught up by Liu Chen.
After the first lap of Taoguang's obscurity, Liu Chen had sufficient physical strength in the second lap, he accelerated the frequency of whipping, and pulled the reins with his left hand to control the direction of the racehorse, this horse was also very cooperative, and also had an advantage in physical strength, the gap between Liu Chen and He Potian gradually began to narrow.
Finally, at the mid-800 meters, Liu Chen came to the right of He Potian, and they returned to the same starting line again.
He Potian gritted his teeth and turned his head, and saw the smile on Liu Chen's face, exactly the same as when he first started, at this moment, he felt like he was back at the beginning, but he didn't expect to spend most of the time, leading all the way, but at this time he was caught up again, which had never happened in He Potian's horse racing experience, he was very frustrated, and even a little angry.
At this time, Liu Chen silently continued to run forward at his own pace, he knew that as long as he persisted at this time, he would undoubtedly win, because He Potian's mentality had collapsed, and that belief in victory had been shattered.
Everything developed as Liu Chen envisioned, in the last 300 meters, Liu Chen began to lead He Potian, and the gap gradually widened, He Potian riveted enough to catch up with Liu Chen, and the range of action became larger and larger.
Liu Chen looked back slightly, He Potian's expression was already a little angry, Liu Chen could almost predict the scene at the end of the line, but the race had to go all out to win, he didn't like the feeling of failure.
Getting closer and closer to the finish line, victory beckoned in front of him, Liu Chen was ready how to celebrate, he saw Li Zhiqian waiting at the finish line, his excited and eager eyes were particularly dazzling.
