Chapter 359: Capture the Flag
Seeing this, I couldn't help but shake my head in amazement, "This girl wants to go crazy for money, right?"
The person who came was none other than Meng Qing'er, who was out of tune...
"Are you all ready?" said the veiled Mongolian girl.
Everyone retracted their gaze and looked at the veiled girl carrying the banner.
"The best preparation is when there is no preparation. Everyone said in unison.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what is this answer?
"The Mongols are very arrogant, they all say what they want. Seeing that I was puzzled, Yingyun pulled the reins and explained.
The veiled girl walked in front of everyone one by one with the banner, and finally returned to the center of the field, and said loudly to everyone, "The winner of this horse race, in addition to the prize of 10,000 yuan, can also have a dinner with the head of the hall, if he behaves well, it is not impossible to become his right-hand man." And I'll personally give him a mystical gift. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the veiled girl with excitement. Being able to follow the head hall master of the Eagle Hall, that is climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, ordinary people are not impressed.
"Lord Steward, you're not going to spend the night with the champion, are you?" asked a sturdy Mongolian man.
In the face of the teasing of many Mongolian men, the veil girl did not twist in the slightest, but looked very indifferent.
"I'm only going to give this surprise to the person who becomes the champion, and of course that person is one of you. But then again, the rules are a little different this time around. ”
"Steward, what are the differences?"
Hearing the prestige, he found that it was the Eagle King of Eagle Hall Ice City, "Yingtan Gu." "And next to him, I even found Eagle Jade and Eagle Shirt, and even the fat girls of the twins were among them.
The Veil Girl handed the flag to an attendant. The retinue respectfully took the banner, then whipped his horse and ran towards a poplar forest in the distance.
"Today's horse racing is not about being fast or slow. It's about capturing the flag. The Veil Girl said coldly.
I don't know why? This veiled girl gave me a faint sense of familiarity. But her face was hidden under the veil, and my memory was not very good, and I couldn't remember who this girl was.
Hawkshirt glanced at me coldly, then looked at the veiled girl and asked. "How's that a trick?"
The Veiled Girl lifted the reins lightly, "In a moment, my servant will place the banner in my hand somewhere in the 'Poplar Grove'. Any one of you, as long as you take it back and give it to me, will be the champion this time. ”
Hawkshirt looked at the people around him, "What about the rules this time?"
A hint of coldness flashed in the veiled girl's eyes, "Rules are no rules." Your horses are equipped with bows and arrows, but of course there are no arrows. You can use any means to ensure that you do not seriously injure anyone. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the racecourse looked at each other.
But within a few minutes, everyone in the audience was aroused by the veiled girl's gaze.
"Are you ready, boys?" the veiled girl repeated.
"Preparation is best when you are not prepared. Everyone echoed in unison.
The veiled girl pulled out a signal and gun from her waist, and with a "bang", the gun rang out.
The racecourse was boiling instantly, and a group of Mongolian men whipped their horses, led by a tall and fat man, roaring and scrambling to rush towards the "poplar forest" in the distance.
Ying Yun's beautiful Danfeng eyes swept over me, "You go first?"
I tightened my reins and didn't run away with the crowd of scrambles.
"Why, don't you want to win the championship?" asked Yingyun.
I spread my hands and said, "Champion, I'm still a little interested." But now everyone has bows and arrows in their hands, and I still have some festivals with Eagle Shirt, so don't give this kid a sneak attack, it's better to be careful. ”
Ying Yundai frowned slightly, "Don't be so timid." ”
After saying that, he drew his horsewhip and pointed it at my horse's buttocks.
There was a neighing in the air, and the fiery horse under his crotch rushed forward like an arrow from a string.
The sharp cold wind kept blowing in my ears, and I secretly cursed my mother in my heart, and held the reins tightly, for fear of accidentally falling off the horse.
Eagle Yun quickly whipped up and went hand in hand with me. "How's it going? Do you feel like you're racing with adrenaline?"
"I feel the urge to kick you right now. I stepped into the stirrups with both feet, looked at the fluttering eagle in the red dress, and said angrily.
Eagle Yun controlled the horses under her and attached them directly to my horses.
"Sun Ce, I need this champion, can you help me one last time?"
I stretched out my hand and patted the latter's ***, "You asked me out for a horse race this time?
Ying Yun's face was stunned, and she grabbed my arm with one free hand and said, "You guessed it right, I need a chance to come face to face with the main hall master." Help me, this is the last time I beg you. ”
"Can you tell me why?" I said as I struggled to control my form on a galloping horse.
"I just need this championship and I'll explain it to you in the future. Ying Yun held the reins in one hand and said very seriously.
I sighed, this is really a duck on the shelf, if you don't agree, you have to agree.
"Do I have a choice now?" I said, rolling my eyes.
A heartfelt smile flashed across Yingyun's face, "I knew you would agree, and after today, I will listen to you for everything." ”
"Forget it, your promise is like..."
"Like what?" said Eagle Rhyme, slamming into my racehorse.
My heart says: like a fart. But when the words came to my lips, I choked back.
"Like angel wings. I pursed my lips and said incorrectly.
"My promise is dreamy, isn't it?" asked Yingyun cheekily.
"It's erratic, there's no hope. I whipped the latter's ass with a horsewhip and said angrily.
The horse under the eagle's crotch neighed and galloped forward at an even more jaw-dropping speed.
The latter smiled back, "I'll be waiting for you in the poplar forest." ”
With that, he slowly disappeared into the horse team in front of him with the reins.
I rode my horse and followed quickly.
...
Poplars. In autumn, the green leaves have gradually turned golden. Occasionally, a gust of autumn wind blows, and patches of leaves fall like scattered flowers. For this golden season, it brings a touch of different style.
And the horses that shuttled through the jungle brought up gusts of strong winds. In the leafy woods, there were ripples like pebbles crossing the lake.
This poplar forest is very large, with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers. I thought that Inner Mongolia was all grassland, but later I heard from herders that there are many "shelter forests" around the grassland, which are planted to prevent wind and fix sand.
Coming to the poplar forest, many Mongolian men began to look for the banner. And I was in the woods searching for Eagle Yun's whereabouts. This guy was running so fast that I didn't even catch a shadow. Now that there are enemies everywhere, she is a little girl who may not be able to protect herself.
"Eagle rhyme, eagle rhyme... Kitty cubs..."
"What?
As I searched around, a cold female voice suddenly came from the air.
Hearing the prestige, it turned out to be the pair of twin fat girls under Yingyu.
"What do you want to do?" I asked, grimacingly.
If Eagle Yun and I are barely allies, then I and my twin fat girls can only be regarded as enemies.
"Don't be nervous. We're just here to ask you for a favor. The bearded twin fat girls said coldly.
"Asking for help doesn't seem to be the attitude. I subconsciously touched the bow and arrow under the horse and said.
"Don't be nervous. This horse race is so chaotic, we might as well cooperate once. Said the bearded twin fat girl.
I tightened the reins in my hand and said, "Oh? ”
"Help us get the championship, Yun girl is yours. The bearded twins said triumphantly.
"Do you agree to make a deal for her?" I said, pouting.
"We are all young masters. As long as the conditions are right, we can all be bargaining chips. The bearded twin fat girl stroked the short hair on her head and said.
I shook my head playfully, "The Tao is not the same. As for Yingyun, who she likes to marry is her choice, you have no right to interfere, let's go our separate ways. ”
With that, I slowly retreated to the woods behind me with the reins.
These twin fat girls still want to make a deal with me, and they also use Eagle Yun as a bargaining chip, which is really beyond their means.
While I was thinking about it, there was a commotion in the woods.
I rode my horse to the place where the sound came from, and found that many Mongolian men had found the banner at the same time. But everyone just looked at each other, and no one moved.
Because in the center of the poplar forest there was a small lake. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the white clouds in the sky and the warm sunshine, and the autumn wind sweeps the lake, and then waves on the surface of the lake, so that everyone present is fascinated by this beautiful scenery.
My gaze fell on the center of the small lake. Because the "big flag" we were looking for was planted under the surface of the water in the center of the small lake.
The lake is about 100 meters long and wide, with an average depth of less than five meters, and there are no boats on the lake.
Although horses have dragon nature, they can swim across rivers. But in the face of such a deep lake, all the Mongolian men looked at each other, and no one dared to rush into the water.
The eagle shirt next to the small lake looked at Yingtan Gu and said, "Old man." Victory is close at hand, why don't you go down to the river and fish up the banner?"
Yingtan Gu's old face sank, "I'll go into the water to fish, will I be beaten by your group after I get it?"
Yingyu controlled the horse to step into the lake, "Although the water in this lake is less than five meters, we Mongolians are all landlubbers, and it is still very dangerous to rush into the water." ”
"What do you mean, little brat?" asked Hawkshirt with a cold face.
Yingyu was not angry, pointed to the woods on the side and said, "Chop down a piece of wood, and send a warrior to carry the wood down the river to pull out the flag." ”
"And then?" asked Hawkshirt, still grimacing.
"Then it's up to us. Yingyu did not shy away from it, and said straight to the point.
With an old face, the eagle shirt put on an attitude of an elder teaching a child, and said, "Then this task will be handed over to you, quickly cut down wood for him, and let him go to the lake to fish for flags." ”
When the words fell, someone really went to chop wood for Yingyu...
Yingyu looked around at everyone on the horse, "It's true that adults are so afraid of water, so I'm a kid willing to take a risk." ”
There is a needle in what he said. On the surface, it tends to be inflammatory, but in fact, scolding a group of big men is letting a small child get into danger.
I ignored the crowd, rode the yellow horse, and circled around the small lake, and found that there was still no trace of Eagle Yun around, and I couldn't help but feel even more worried.
