Chapter 9 If you don't accept it again, who is afraid of whom?
A noble lady surpassed the paladin Roland and the expedition hero Thomas to win the first place in the horse race, this result not only impressed the two men behind her, but also made the judges and the audience unbelievable that a princess raised in the boudoir has such superb riding skills, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone!
Han Nuo turned over and dismounted, the warm wind blew her charming black skirt, he walked in front of the councilor with a relaxed step, his slender hand clenched into a fist, leisurely supporting his sharpened chin, blinking his eyes, and sly smiling, "Sir, it's time for you to announce the results!" ”
Reviis had never seen a noble lady like her, so bold and beautiful that he, who had been practicing in the church all the year round, couldn't help but blush, coughed dryly, and announced with some embarrassment for a while: "Today's horse race has come to fruition, congratulations to our beautiful and moving princess Elizabeth Du Feng on her victory, let us congratulate ......her with warm applause."
As soon as Reviis said this, there was a warm applause from the crowd, and Queen Catherine looked at her with an appreciative look, and the queen thought that after today's events, many men would definitely notice Elizabeth's beautiful demeanor, and then choose a family with a good background from among them to marry, then she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Everyone was immersed in this unexpected joy, and in the lookout, a young lady dressed in a group of lilac shutters stood up, pointed to Elizabeth on the platform, and shouted: "This race cannot be counted, thoroughbreds are forbidden to race, everyone knows that she uses thoroughbreds to race, which is unfair!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd began to boil, everyone began to talk about this race, as we all know, the general horse racing is the use of Arabian hot horses, or other breeds of hybrid horses, thoroughbred horses are born wild and untamable, easy to get out of control, there were thoroughbred horses out of control of the horse farm hurt people, and later the horse farm is forbidden to use this kind of horse race, has been followed to this day.
Seeing that the crowd was getting louder and louder, Rivius called Elizabeth close to him, and then asked in a low voice: "Everyone is hotly discussing this matter, you see, do you want to try it again with the Arabian horse, so that the young ladies and men present may be convinced?" ”
Han Nuo snorted lightly, disapproving, obviously he won, this group of brainless Roland fans, they had to use this horse's matter to find his stubble, which made his originally happy mood suddenly freeze, but he just looked at the weak Levis coldly and was silent.
Thomas, who was on Elizabeth's side, gently pulled her to the side and said to her, "Your horse is indeed forbidden to race, and even if you win first place, you will not be able to get the prize money." ”
He saw a hint of extreme disappointment on Elizabeth's face, and he immediately comforted: "Why don't you agree to compete again, I will compete in your place, if I win, the reward will still be yours!" ”
"You couldn't win against Roland just now, so how about doing it again?"
“……”
Han Nuo hit the nail on the head, causing Thomas's face to turn blue and unable to say a word!
Even if he doesn't have a thoroughbred, he still has a way!
Han Nuo approached the side of the judges, whispered a few words to him, and everyone saw them whispering there, not knowing what they were talking about, and craned their necks more curiously to hear what they were talking about.
Listening to Elizabeth's suggestion, Rivis's eyes lit up, nodded affirmatively to her, and then announced to everyone: "Princess Elizabeth agrees that this race will be voided, but she asks for a best-of-three system for horse racing?" ”
Best of three games? It was the first time for everyone present to hear this statement, in the traditional sense, horse racing is to run from the starting point to the finish line at one time, whoever runs to the finish line first will win, this kind of race is single, how to win two out of three games?
Han Nuo was not worried about everyone's curiosity at all, and he motioned to Livis with his eyes to continue.
"Because if it's a horse race in the traditional sense, it's hard to judge who is better at riding, and even if someone wins the race, the result will be the same as just now, I don't know if the horse is better or the horse is better riding? Therefore, Princess Elizabeth proposed to use the same horses to win two out of three games to judge who was better riding, and in this way, everyone was convinced! ”
"But since the horses are all the same, it's good to race once, why race three times?" Roland, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Without waiting for Levis to speak, Han Nuo walked up to Roland and said interestingly: "Don't you think that once you compete, the factor of chance will be too great?" ”
“……”
Seeing that Roland was silent, he continued: "I will choose the upper, middle and lower third-class horses with you, and compete in three rounds, and in each round you can send a horse out to compete with me according to your own arrangement, and the standard is the same as who reaches the finish line first and who wins, how about it?" ”
It was originally a simple horse race, and the other party suddenly asked to use the upper, middle, and third-class horses to compete, which seemed to have a little more scheming, anyway, he Roland was a paladin canonized by King Edward himself, and under the same conditions, he could not lose to anyone.
"Since the princess is fine, I am happy to accompany you."
Catherine looked at Elizabeth nervously, pulled her niece Lisa next to her and asked nervously, "Which horse do you think Elizabeth will send first?" Will she lose? ”
"Queen, don't worry, even if the princess loses, she is only a woman, this is not a shameful thing!"
"Mm-hmm, though, I still hope Elizabeth wins."
"I'm in the same mood as you."
……
Since the main track of the race was too long, it would take at least a few hours to determine the results, so the judges decided to move the race to a smaller sub-track next to it, which is oval-shaped, with a green grass field in the middle, and more than 1,000 meters in the field, which is very suitable for this best-of-three system.
Now that the track has changed, the ladies who are anxious to see the results of the race are also accompanied by the maids, and come to the side track, with parasols on their heads, curiously waiting for the start of the race.
"Baron Roland, which horse are you going to choose for your first race?"
Roland ordered his house slave to bring a snow-white Arabian horse, and the corners of Hanno's mouth rose, and as he expected, the best horses would be sent to the first race.
