Among this group of gentlemen, Gao Laosan thought that his riding skills were so much better than Meng Yun's, so he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, but in the face of Chen Xu's great temptation, he decided to give his life a try, at most...... It's just a lack of arms and short legs, and once it succeeds, it will inevitably become a hero of Xianyang and even Daqin.

“%#@……”

Just when a groom was about to hand over the reins to Gao Laosan, the middle-aged man led by him suddenly stopped Gao Laosan and said a few words.

"What do you mean?" Gao Laosan asked Hu Shang, who was in charge of translation next to him, with a confused face.

"Childe, he said that this horse is too strong, and he is afraid that you will be injured, so he wants you to choose another one!" Hu Shang hurriedly nodded and said.

Gao Laosan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes glared: "Fart, I have also learned the art of Soma, this horse is thin and long, it is obviously the worst, how dare you fool me, don't you want me to win this game?" ”

After listening to Hu Shang's translation, a group of Dawan people looked at each other and then the middle-aged man twitched a few times and retreated, Gao Laosan was not polite, he reached out and pulled the reins and led the black horse to the open space, and the black horse was also very obedient and cooperated, and after a few snorts, there was no angry behavior like the white horse, and obediently followed behind Gao Laosan.

"Hey, I'm afraid Gao Saburo is going to succeed!"

A few gentlemen instantly became excited again, and even the crowd of onlookers were a little excited and commotion, and Meng Yun, who was still tidying up his hair, put down the comb with a shake of his hand, and his face was instantly black and could drip ink.

"How? Will Kosaburo succeed? "Chen Xu doesn't understand Soma, and his equestrian skills can only be regarded as average, but looking at Meng Yun's face, he doesn't feel like the people around him are not reacting so well.

"I bet Gao Saburo won't be able to hold on on horseback for ten breaths!" Meng Yun said with an ugly face.

"No, this horse looks docile!" Chen Xu pinched his chin and said.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know the art of horses, the white horse I picked just now seems to be violent, but in fact, it should be the worst of this group of horses, and it is also a mare, and the strength and speed are not strong enough, but the horse picked by Gao Saburo is the most powerful of this group of horses, with a tall physique and slender hooves, seemingly docile but with unruly eyes, and it is also a male horse of about five years old, it is when the temper is the most violent......"

Chen Xu was slightly stunned, and his face couldn't help but shake a few times.

The five-year-old horse is the adolescent horse, just like the junior high school students of later generations, belonging to the most special and stubborn age, day by day, day by day, with the courage and strength to defy everything in the world.

And if you look closely at this time, the appearance of this horse is indeed similar to what Meng Yun said, it seems to be docile but it is not half tame, and it keeps snorting while walking, obviously very restless.

In Meng Yun's whispered explanation, Gao Laosan had already led the black horse to the river beach ten zhang away, only to see him gently stroke the black horse's neck and back a few times, muttered a few words to the horse's ears in a low voice, and then suddenly turned around, grabbed the horse's mane and jumped lightly and stepped onto the horse's back.

Gao Laosan's series of movements were like flowing water in the same place, and when everyone saw it clearly, he was already sitting firmly on the horse's back, and the black horse didn't seem to react at all, standing in place and gently shaking his head and tail.

"Wow~~" More than 100,000 people at the scene suddenly let out a burst of violent cheers and noise.

Above the castle tower, the tension on Gao Teng's face instantly relaxed and smiled.

"San Lang's equestrian skills are good, and his movements on the horse are extremely vigorous, and his country's prestige ......"

But before the words of the First Emperor fell, I saw that the black horse, who was standing on the river beach without moving, suddenly made an incredible movement, and made a half-squat posture with its hind legs backwards, and then leaped high in the air with four hooves, like a tiger crossing a stream.

"咴~~~"

Accompanied by a black shadow rising in the air and a volley of neighing, the black horse jumped out directly three or four feet away, and when he landed, his front legs bent forward and half knelt down, and in the process of this action, Gao Laosan, who had just turned over on the horse's back and was not ready to grab his mane and hug his neck, was directly upside down in mid-air, and then in the process of landing, accompanied by a black horse's stumbling action, under the impact of the horse's buttocks, Gao Laosan let out a ghost crying wolf howl and flew out of the air from the horse's head, With a pop, he planted his head down on the riverbank.

Chen Xu: ......

Click~

The comb in Meng Yun's hand broke into two.

"Bang~嗷~"

On the top of the city tower, the first emperor shook his hand and fell down the telescope and smashed the head of a forbidden army.

More than 100,000 people on the river beach were stunned as if they had been pointed, and their mouths were wide open before they could recover from the series of movements of the black horse, and the slight river breeze still echoed with abrupt cheers.

"Alas~"

Countless princes and princes who were full of anticipation and many people who knew the art of Soma let out a long sigh again, shaking their heads one by one and closing their eyes in disbelief.

After turning Gao Laosan off the horse, the black horse seemed to feel that he had done a trivial thing, and after snorting his nose and surrounding Gao Laosan, who was planted upside down in the grass, he took the reins and walked back to the horses, and a group of horses quickly calmed down after a slight commotion

"Saburo, Saburo!" A group of servants of the gentleman and Gao Laosan rushed up to help Gao Laosan up.

"Just ...... What just happened? It's getting dark! ”

It wasn't until he was helped back to Chen Xu that Gao Laosan, who was covered with grass clippings and mud, grabbed a dumbfounded arm and opened his head.

"Alas~ Saburo is useless!" A group of gentlemen collectively shook their heads and sighed, and their faces became even more ugly.

"Who else wants to try it?" The calmness on Chen Xu's face at this time also became much more solemn.

Fang Meng Yun said that he still didn't believe it, but from the time Gao Laosan climbed on the horse's back to the time he was thrown down, it was only about two seconds.

"Master Hou, forget it today, if you continue, you can only make me lose face!" Qi Lao Er nervously shrank back.

"Yes, Master Hou still forget it, this golden horse is really not something that we can surrender, and it must be a horse master who is proficient in horse taming!" The rest of the gentlemen also shook their heads, and they all couldn't do it.

And now Chen Xu has also seen that these Dawan horses are indeed not something that this group of gentlemen can handle, too violent and weird, although Chen Xu has never seen a few horses before crossing, but now his status is different, not to mention a thousand good horses he has seen, there are still hundreds of them, but he has never seen a horse with such a violent and weird movement, and he can even jump three or four feet away on the spot, what do you think you are, kangaroo baa!

"Please ask Lieutenant Lu to take these people to the city to arrange accommodation, so that people don't disturb these horses, so that the onlookers will also disperse." Chen Xu's expectation also turned into regret, and he ordered Lu Huan to take this group of Dawan merchants away.

"Master Hou, they have something to say to you!" Hu Shang, who was in charge of the translation, cautiously walked over and bowed and said.

"Well, let him come!" Chen Xu nodded, and after a while, the middle-aged man followed Hu Shang over and said a language he didn't understand, and after Hu Shang translated, Chen Xu's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?" ”

"When...... Really ......" the middle-aged man stammered in a very lame Central Plains dialect.

"Haha, so decided, you should follow Lieutenant Lu to find a place to rest first, don't worry, no one will harass you, tomorrow the Marquis will complete this bet with you in the square in front of Xianyang Palace!" Chen Xu laughed heartily.

After Hu Shang's translation, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and left with a group of companions leading ten horses under the protection of a group of lieutenants and forbidden troops, and the more than 100,000 Xianyang people who had watched the excitement also left in groups, and after half an hour of hustle and bustle, the beach outside the south gate of the city slowly returned to its usual emptiness and quietness.

Regret and loss, this is how everyone feels after watching this hilarity.

And Meng Yun and the others also gathered on the river beach one by one, sitting or lying down, blowing the river breeze in a silent daze.

Today's incident is too embarrassing, not only to lose their own face, but also to the faces of Daqin and Xianyang people.

"Sister-in-law, what is the purpose of these Dawan people?" After a long time, Meng Yun spoke.

"Naturally, they don't want to be hated by us because of this matter, so they just give us a step down, but I'm afraid this bet is not easy to win, unless it ......" Chen Xu thought while chewing on a grass stalk.

"Unless what? Although Hou Ye spoke, if I can help you win this bet, I am willing to do anything? Qi Lao Er sat up excitedly.

"You're excited, if it weren't for you today, our Daqin wouldn't have lost such a big face, I didn't expect you to show off your might one by one on weekdays, but when you really won glory for Daqin, you would be so bad!" Chen Xu rolled his eyes with hatred that iron does not become steel.

Originally, according to his understanding of the equestrian skills of Meng Yun and others, he felt that these sweaty and bloody horses that had been domesticated by the Dawan people should not be much of a problem, even if they couldn't be all done, it shouldn't be a big problem to get one or two horses, after all, this is not a purebred wild horse, and the temperament doesn't know how much it has converged, but I didn't expect that stealing chickens would not be a backlash against a handful of rice, and I ended up disgraced.

At the moment, a group of gentlemen are afraid to go home.

Because today not only did they lose face, but also caused the emperor to lose face, the first emperor rushed to watch, and when he left, he heard that his face was very ugly, so he went back to the palace angrily.

Therefore, when I go home today, I am expected to have a violent beating.

Although they are all adults in their twenties, they still feel that the chrysanthemums are cold and fluttering in the face of their father, who is a marquis and an important minister of the court, and they decide to blow more wind on the river beach, and wait until their hearts are completely cold before going home to be beaten, so that they will not feel miserable.

"Master Hou, I've tried my best, but that horse is too weird!" Gao Laosan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Xu's eyes.

"Don't make excuses for yourself, these horses you also know are not really wild and untamed, but tamed horses, it's just that you wait for your riding skills to be too poor, it seems that Ben Hou will stay away from you in the future, otherwise it will lose his god after a long time......"

Chen Xu turned over and got up and was about to leave, he could see that this group of gentlemen, who were known as the top in Daqin, were really still gentlemen, and they were still just embroidered pillows with a relatively good-looking appearance, and it was indeed too difficult for them to win glory for the country.

"Master Hou~" A group of gentlemen all stood up with red faces.

"Sister-in-law, wait!" Meng Yun's pretty face was as red as a boiled prawn, and he reached out and grabbed Chen Xu's cuffs and said with a face full of shame, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I really didn't do a good job today, I will lose face to the emperor and Daqin, and I will also lose face to you, but we must find a way to win back this bet, otherwise I won't have the face to stay in Xianyang in the future!" ”

"Do you really think so?" Chen Xu looked at Meng Yun in slight surprise.

"Master Hou, we all have the same idea, this time it is indeed too embarrassing, if you lose your bet, we will be sinners in the future!" A group of gentlemen all stood beside Chen Xu, and Gao Laosan didn't dare to raise his head at all.

He hadn't figured out how he had fallen off the back of the black horse until now, in his memory, he just turned over and got on the horse, and then before he could sit down, he fell into the mud and sand like a pestle, and his eyes were completely confused, and when he was sober, there were pointing and pointing sounds everywhere, and even the crowd had begun to evacuate.

To tell the truth, they have lost a lot of face when they grow so big, riding horses, archery, hunting gliders, which are high-end activities that civilians can't afford, and which ones they think are still playing relatively slippery, so injuries are inevitable, but they all feel that it is an honor to be injured before, but today, it is a shame for them, a great shame, and it is destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime, because this incident will soon spread from Xianyang to all parts of the country, and it is destined to become a stain on their lives that cannot be washed away in this life.

"This bet has been taken by Ben Hou, but we don't know the conditions of the bet, even if the Dawan people want to give us a step, it will definitely not be too easy, after all, these horses are worth a thousand gold, not a small business, but also a matter of Dawan's face, although it is a small country, but also a prince with a population of hundreds of thousands, no one wants to be blackmailed for nothing......"

Chen Xu raised his hand to call his carriage and guards over, and only after boarding the carriage did he say: "Don't be too ashamed of this matter, this Dawan Divine Horse is known as a heavenly horse, and it is not the world's first-class horse master who can't be tamed, even the Dawan people themselves are not easy to do, and when you have the opportunity to go to Dawan's snow-capped mountain plateau to capture a wild horse and tame it, that is the real ability, today's matter is over, tomorrow look at the betting conditions of the Dawan people, out~"

Chen Xu tapped the window lightly, the coachman raised his whip and shouted softly, and the four Hun horses with the same coat color as silk and the docile traction carriage walked away, and soon went to the city gate under the protection of a group of guards.

"Alas~ It's too useless for me to wait, this time it really made Master Hou angry!"

Looking at Chen Xu's departing carriage, a group of gentlemen all sighed with dejected faces, and their mood was extremely low.

"Both horizontal and vertical will be beaten, go home separately, arrange for people to go around to find Hu Shang in the Western Regions to find out, to see what the details of these Dawan people are, so as to make some preparations for tomorrow's Hou Ye's bet!"

After a long time, Meng Yun also beckoned his servants to lead the horses over, turned over the horses and knocked the horse's belly away, leaving only a vigorous back covered in mud and sand.

"Let's go, go home and get beaten!" Qi Lao Er also called his servants over, and after getting on the horse, he turned his head to look at Gao Lao San and said, "San Lang will buy a few books of Soma after he goes home, I'm sorry, what are the eyes......" Qi Lao Er also took out an enamel plate from his arms after speaking, glanced at a sunken horseshoe print on it, and threw his hand into the river with his face twitched.

"Soma Sutra, I've already memorized it backwards...... "The rest of the group of gentlemen also got on their horses and scattered, and Gao Laosan rode on the horse and kept muttering with confused eyes.

Because of the porcelain touching of a few gentlemen, the Great Qin people lost a big face in front of the foreign people for the first time, and the whole thing soon became a hot topic of discussion after tea and dinner in all walks of life in Xianyang, and public opinion was almost one-sided to criticize and crack down on a few gentlemen, and all the gamblers who participated in the handicap betting also lost a mess, and none of them won money, because no one expected that a group of gentlemen who were coaxing and coaxing on weekdays did not get a horse.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, but obviously this group of gentlemen is the scum of Daqin who can't be stimulated by a full five hundred gold.
