......

Early the next morning.

As soon as the sky was bright, a touch of gold was reflected in the east, illuminating the prostrate Yanjing City, sprinkling the coolness and warmth of autumn in this ancient city.

After getting upright, Fang Zheng also ran to Yan Xiu's room.

Yan Xiu had already woken up, but his face was not very good, and it was still a little difficult to participate in this hunting in the eastern suburbs, so Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything.

After saying goodbye to Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi also went downstairs directly.

As soon as I walked out of the inn, I saw a figure turning leisurely at the door of the inn, the bright red red flame hundred flower armor, and the fire lin gun, you don't need to look closely to know who it is.

"I heard that you are going to participate in this horse race hunt?" Ping Yang tilted his head slightly, and there was a hint of arrogance in his clear eyes.

"Got an opinion?" Fang Zhengzhi asked casually.

"You're going to ride this broken horse?" Pingyang opened his mouth slightly, and swept a brown and yellow broken earth horse behind Fang Zhengzhi with his gaze, a little disdainful.

Fang Zhengzhi looked back.

The quality and pedigree of his horse are relatively ......

It's a bit broken.

However, the snow dragon horse was stored in Donglin City by himself, and the purpose of buying this horse at that time was just to travel, and he really didn't think too much about it.

"That's right. Fang Zhengzhi looked right.

"As a miscellaneous servant of Pingyang Mansion, your broken horse is really detrimental to the majesty of my Pingyang Mansion, if you are willing to beg me, I will lend you my second treasure horse. Pingyang also pointed to the jade in the snow next to him as he spoke......

Of course.

Pingyang refers to the war horse covered in cyan scales behind the jade in the snow.

Fang Zhengzhi doesn't know him very well, but he can be called the second treasure horse by Pingyang, and it is estimated that although he can't compare with her Snow Jade and the purple electric oolong horse of the Nine Emperor Prince Lin Yun, it shouldn't be bad.

"No, you don't. Fang Zheng refused directly if he didn't want to, if he really accepted this horse, it would not mean that he would indirectly admit that he was a miscellaneous servant of Pingyang Mansion, and he would not be fooled if he was killed.

"I heard that the treasure of this hunt was personally ordered by my father. It must be very good, don't you want it?" Pingyang continued to seduce.

"If it's purely a horse, even if I ride yours, I can't compare to you, right?" Fang Zhengzhi asked rhetorically.

"Of course...... In this Yanjing City, if I want to say that my jade in the snow ranks second, no horse dares to say that it ranks first!"

"Isn't the Purple Electric Oolong Pony comparable?"

"Of course it can't be compared, the Purple Electric Oolong Pony can only rank third at best!" said Pingyang with a proud face.

"Oh, what about the second?"

"Second, of course, it's Sister Yan's Red Flame Xuexia. ”

"Nima!" Fang Zhengcheng has always been a dislike of scolding, but at this time, he couldn't help but scold, talking about Chiyan Xuexia. That's my own horse......

......

When Pingyang came to the eastern suburbs hunting ground together, the sun had already risen, and the brilliance of the sky was becoming more and more golden, reflecting the golden flags set up around the eastern suburbs hunting grounds, shining brightly.

Just as Fang Zhengcheng expected.

But all such grand events, the scene is extremely lively.

The talented and beautiful women in armor and strong suits complimented each other, and the topic of conversation the most was nothing more than that, yo, the brother stepped down this horse is really majestic and mighty. Usually in this case, the other party will also show a shocked expression, alas, brother. You're just as handsome as you are!

In addition to appreciating the horse that stepped down, there was also praise for the opponent's armor, as well as praise for the opponent's weapons, and even the bun on the opponent's head.

Fang Zhengcheng has always been loveless for this kind of compliment.

And thankfully. And it is true that no one complimented him, after all, the horse he rode. He really couldn't call a foal, with brown and yellow hair, sparse and two ears, shrugged and drooping, except for some eyes glowing when he saw the grass on the side of the road, he had a listless expression at all times.

"Huh, is it Fang Zheng?"

"I didn't expect him to come to participate in the horse racing hunt in the eastern suburbs hunting ground this time?"

"I heard that he hasn't attended a party like a cultural meeting since he appeared once at the Hundred Flowers Cultural Conference, why did he come here this time?"

"It should be for the holy reward, right?"

"Wait a minute, this one he's riding seems to be ...... What's it called? I can't remember it all at once. ”

"Tupuma! The species that are abundant in Donglin City feed on grass. ”

"Grass feeds? Isn't it true that people with better bloodlines eat mainly meat? He rode this horse to participate in horse racing and hunting, and this horse is very powerful?"

"Isn't it amazing, in the horse market in Donglin City, a handful of them can be worth twenty taels of silver!"

"Hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter, and immediately after, more talented people noticed Fang Zheng, who was walking with Pingyang, and the Tupu horse he stepped on.

In less than a moment, a bunch of people gathered around Fang Zhengzhi.

In the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs presided over by the saint himself, seeing such a rare earth horse appear, there is really a sense of solitude in the flock of chickens and cranes.

Fang Zhengzhi looked unimpressed, if horse racing is really all about horses, then why do you need people?

Pingyang didn't care either, in fact, she was smiling happily now, wearing a red flame hundred flower armor, with a fire lin gun, plus the handsome snow jade who sat down.

If you want to talk about the people present, who is the most heroic, it is definitely Pingyang.

Therefore, of course, Pingyang is very willing to stand by Fang Zhengzhi's side, and has been following Fang Zhengzhi closely, no matter how Fang Zhengzhi runs, she will not leave an inch, and she is a kraft candy that cannot be shaken off.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi knew that Pingyang's little bit of caution, didn't he just want to let himself be a green leaf for her? This kind of thinking is really too superficial.

It must be despised.

After a burst of gongs and drums, the sound of the Holy Lord coming was also heard in the distance, and behind the Holy Driver, there were also all the princes in bright clothes.

This is a grand gathering of talented and beautiful people, and it is also a great opportunity for princes to compete and show their talents.

Fang Zhengzhi soon discovered Lin Yun, the Nine Emperor Prince, who was riding a purple electric oolong horse, as well as Lin Tianrong, the crown prince, who was also riding a high war horse, and Duan **** Xinjue.

In addition, there are some ministers who follow behind the princes, led by Zuo Xiangyu Yiping, but. The number of people was not as large as the last palace examination, only a few dozens.

However, the number of generals has more than doubled compared to the last time.

All kinds of generals in armor, either younger or older, densely packed, there were as many as fifty or sixty people.

If you add some talented people who are following the generals, this team has nearly 100 people, rushing over from afar, raising smoke and dust all the way.

Fang Zhengzhi roughly calculated.

Except for the rows of sergeants with spears around the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs. There were about fifty or sixty generals who participated in the horse race in the eastern suburbs, seven or eight Wenchen, and at least nearly three hundred talented people who were eager to try.

The scene was nothing short of spectacular.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that there were about 200 people participating in the palace examination this time, after all, only after passing the court examination could they be eligible to participate in the palace examination.

Well, it is certain that among these three hundred talents. There must be at least a hundred or so people who fish in troubled waters.

This is not surprising, after all, this is a grand gathering of talented and beautiful people, and some sons from various provinces in Yanjing City came to show their talents in front of the saint. It's also a normal thing.

......

The holy car arrived soon, and today's saint Lin Mubai also took off his dragon robe, wearing a golden battle armor and a bright golden dragon cloak on his back. Stepping down was riding a red war horse.

Wait until you see the square.

Saint Lin Mubai was obviously stunned for a moment, his gaze was on the earth soaring under Fang Zheng's step, and he immediately stopped for a full five seconds, and finally shook his head. Left.

Of course, the other princes also noticed Fang Zhengcheng at this time.

"This guy is that Fang Zheng? Why do you look like you're here to see the show?"

"I think it's funny. ”

The two young princes muttered softly, and then, with a pull of the reins of the horse, they raised their heads and followed behind the Holy Lord Lin Mubai and left proudly.

Duan **** Xinjue looked at Fang Zhengzhi, with a sneering expression on his face.

And the crown prince Lin Tianrong smiled casually, and did not focus too much on Fang Zhengzhi's body.

The Nine Emperor Princes, Lin Yun, looked at the expressions of the princes around him, his face seemed to be a little apologetic, and as soon as the horse stiffened, he rode the purple electric oolong horse to Fang Zhengzhi's side.

"Lord Fang, do you want to change a horse? There are still a few good ones in my house, if you send them over now, you can still catch up with the horse race hunting." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, my horse looks inconspicuous, but it really runs very fast. Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

"I see. The Nine Emperor Princes, Lin Yun, hesitated for a moment, and finally rode away.

Several ministers who followed behind the princes saw this scene, and they were all a little curious.

"How could the Nine Emperor Princes know Fang Zhengzhi?"

"I don't know. ”

"I do know something, I heard that the purple electric oolong horse that the Nine Emperor Princes stepped down and rode seems to be a square and honest ......."

"From what?!" a coquettish voice sounded beside Fang Zhengzhi.

The minister who opened his mouth immediately felt a chill in his back, as if a cold was slashed across his neck, and he immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to speak more.

"Hmph!" Pingyang looked at the departing minister and snorted softly.

......

The gate of the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs had already been opened, and after the Holy Lord Lin Mubai took the lead in entering, all the princes and talents also entered one by one.

Next, it's time for the beautiful dance.

Women in long sleeves showed their elegant dancing, and some maids walked around with wine, meat, melons and fruits, and distributed them to ministers and talents.

Fang Zhengzhi has a separate position because he has the official name of the sword envoy of the fourth grade, so he also enjoys it unceremoniously.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat so much, we'll see how you run later!"

"Why don't you mind Lord Li, I think Lord Fang is here today just to eat, right?"

Several ministers looked at Fang Zheng, who was gobbling up, and they were all a little ashamed.

However, Zuo Xiangyu Yiping didn't say a word from beginning to end, just held the wine glass in his hand and greeted each other with the ministers next to him.

It's the same eating, but the gap is immediately apparent.

After the grand dance.

The scene fell silent, and a minister walked out of the queue, coughed lightly, and then loudly announced the rules of the competition.

And after the minister finished speaking, it was the usual holy precept.

Once everything is done, the registration for the competition officially begins.

Fang Zhengzhi thought that since he came, he would have to join in the fun, so he also reported a name.

The minister in charge of registration saw that Fang Zhengcheng had really registered, and his face was somewhat strange, while the other talents and generals all lowered their heads and couldn't help laughing.

"Fang Zhengzhi really signed up?"

"I think he's here to accompany him today, right?"

"Professional accompaniment, it is none other than Fang Zheng. ”

"Of course, if he can really win the horse hunt with that horse, my name will be written backwards!"

"What's the point of writing backwards, I dare to take off my clothes and run here naked for two laps, do you dare?"

"Dare, what don't you dare!"

The talents and generals laughed while talking.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the side, and finally decided to give them this opportunity, so he picked up a blank piece of paper from the desk and handed it over.

"Then please write down this bet? ”

"Brother Li, did you write?"

"Write it!"

In a short time, a few documents were ready.

Then, a few people also noticed that something seemed to be wrong, after all, they had made a note, but there seemed to be no loss of integrity.

Just when he was about to return the note and add some bets, Fang Zhengzhi had already run to the starting point of the game.

"Forget it, he just wants to save face! ha...... Not to mention the ranking, it's luck to be at the bottom of the list. The geniuses snorted and began to laugh again.

......

Before the starting point of the competition, Binh Duong and Fang Zhengzhi stood side by side, but the momentum was very different.

The other talents were smiling one by one, waiting for the gong to sound.

Horse racing hunting, as the name suggests, is of course a competition for speed, a good horse and a bad horse, in the battle may not be too much to distinguish between victory and defeat.

But when it comes to speed, the difference between heaven and earth is too obvious.

Lin Yun, the Nine Emperor Princes, also arrived at the starting point of the race, his face was a little excited, and he seemed to be very enthusiastic about horse racing, coupled with the purple electric oolong horse that stepped down.

He is the top three today.

As for, the first and second......

Lin Yun, the Nine Emperor Princes, thought about it, but the difficulty was not ordinary, if it was the sons of the family in Yanjing City, he would have full confidence.

However, this time the talents who participated in the horse racing hunt were completely different from the previous ones.

They are all from the Great Xia Dynasty, the real elite of the major state capitals, and their skills are not inferior to him, even if they are just talking about war horses.

"Boom!" a gong sounded, and the horse racing hunt really began. (To be continued.) )
