Chapter 23: Three Gambling Sessions (Part II)

Although he was sure, he had lost two games in a row before, and Qin Jue didn't dare to hold it up, so he took advantage of the opportunity to choose a horse, so Qin Jue ordered Steward Qiao to go out to clear the road, even if it was impossible to drive all the people away, but some vendors gave some benefits and retreated for a while.

Coming to the gate of Sihai Manor with everyone, Zhu Youzhen found that there were only a few people in the very crowded horse alley when he came in the morning, but he didn't care.

In front of the archway of Sihai Manor, Zhu Youzhen put down the slider, Qin Jue also got on the horse to prepare, and as Zhu Ying'an raised his hand and fell again, the two jumped out like arrows from the string.

The pavement of the horse race lane is paved with bluestone, and there are always some ups and downs in the place where the bluestone connects, which undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty to Zhu Youzhen, and although the green horse is underage, it is not slow at all to start, coupled with Qin Jue's skillful equestrianism, it only took a moment to pull Zhu Youzhen away.

Because this section of the road at the gate of Sihai Manor had already been cleaned by Steward Qiao, Qin Jue ran fast, but although Qin Jue's time to choose a horse was delayed as much as possible, Steward Qiao and a few guys only cleared the distance of three or five hundred meters, and the Horse Race Alley was crowded, and it took a lot of work to clear the distance of three or five hundred meters.

Walking further, Qin Jue's riding speed naturally slowed down slightly, and after passing the three or five hundred meters of empty streets, Zhu Youzhen slowly caught up with him on a skateboard.

Qin Jue is not worried, after all, the large number of people is not aimed at anyone, everyone is slow, but as long as there are fewer people, it is still easy for the green horse to beat the skateboard.

However, before Qin Jue finished thinking about it, as soon as he arrived at the crowded place, he saw Zhu Youjian jumping on the six-step stone steps in front of a shop with his people, and then slid forward quickly under the rain eaves of each shop, no matter whether it was a gatehouse, a doorway, a threshold or a door pillow in front of him, the skateboard was like sticking to Zhu Youjian's feet, as long as it was less than half a person high, he could easily cross it.

There are much fewer people under the rain eaves of the shop than on the street, so Zhu Youzhen quickly overtook Qin Jue when he ran, and the green horse under Qin Jue can easily step on the sixth-level stone steps, even the ninth-level, but the small number of people under the rain eaves can't pass with one horse.

There is no better way, Qin Jue can only run forward as fast as possible while shouting to open the road, although there are relatively more people on the street, but Qin Jue has not been opened too much distance by Zhu Youzhen, from Sihai Manor to the archway of Paoma Lane is nearly five miles away, and there are no vendors and pedestrians in the last mile or so, which may be the place where the winner is decided.

The eaves of the shop are also intermittent, along the way Zhu Youzhen is also up and down, occasionally back to the street winding serpentine to avoid passers-by, when encountering many people blocking the road, Zhu Youzhen slid on a wall to cross the crowd, or directly stepped on the skateboard and jumped on the table where people drank tea, making a mess of cups and plates, causing everyone to scream again and again, and Qin Jue, who was looking directly, was stunned.

No matter how fast the green horse runs, but the piece of hiding people can't compare to the skateboard anyway, seeing that the distance is getting farther and farther, Qin Jue can't take care of it a lot, the best one who can use his voice to open the way, and when he encounters an eye-opener, he directly lifts the reins to let the green horse jump over the top of the person's head, and the green horse jumps high enough, otherwise it will not be able to reach it if it doesn't hurt people.

In this way, the two of them made the horses and alleys jump for a while, and this should be the street racing of the Ming Dynasty.

The more they ran to the back street, the fewer people there were, the more the green horse was able to spread its hooves and run forward, and the distance between Qin Jue and Zhu Youzhen slowly narrowed. Seeing that the archway at the entrance of the alley is only fifty zhang, and the distance between the two is less than ten zhang, who loses and who wins is still unknown.

When there were still about three zhang away from the archway at the entrance of the alley, Zhu Youzhen had been caught up by Qin Jue, at this moment, a little girl suddenly jumped on one or two carriages under the archway, and was in front of Qin Jue's horse.

Through the gap between his fingers, Qin Jue saw Zhu You's foot checker slider forcibly change direction, picked up the girl with one hand, and dodged under the horse's hooves as soon as she was short, but because the speed was too fast, it was too late to change direction at this time, and in front of him were the pillars on both sides of the archway.

At this time, seeing Zhu Youzhen's front foot hooked and his back foot sinking, the skateboard slid on the column for a while and unloaded some force, and then a backflip, although Zhu Youzhen was still holding a little girl in his arms, he still fell to the ground steadily.

Zhu Youzhen, who landed safely, took advantage of the opportunity of Qin Jue to be in a daze and did not give in, easily slid across the finish line of the archway, and then put the little girl back in the carriage, looking at the little girl's frightened appearance, Zhu Youzhen patted her shoulder, then turned around and picked up the skateboard and said to Qin Jue, "Don't be in a daze, go back." ”

On the way back, they didn't care about winning or losing, both of them were more leisurely, but Qin Jue was still a little scared, and almost injured a person's life.

Everyone at the gate of Sihai Manor is still waiting, waiting for the result of winning or losing.

"I lost, fifth brother, little brother lost convincingly." Qin Jue clasped his fists at Zhu Youzhen and saluted, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to live in peace in this life." ”

Three games and three defeats, Qin Jue is young, and the fifth brother is refreshing, but Zhang Zhiji and Luo Yangxing can't scream like donkey hair stuck in their throats.

Everyone didn't understand the meaning of Qin Jue's words, how could he run a horse and live in peace, so Qin Jue first arranged for Steward Qiao to compensate for the damage on the street, and then told a few people what happened along the way.

All three of them lost, so they were embarrassed to mention skateboarding again, but a few people heard that skateboarding was so magical, and they were even more itchy.

It's just that Zhu Ying'an has never gambled with Zhu Youzhen, and at this time, only he had better speak, "Brother Zhu, can you sell me a pair of skateboards?" We don't need you to give a discount, just 30,000 taels of silver at the price of Liuli Lane. ”

Zhu Youzhen took a pair of skateboards from Gao Sheng's hand and handed it to Zhu Ying'an, "If you say that the silver is not silver, you can take it." ”

Zhu Ying'an hurriedly took the aisle, "Brother Zhu is really my nobleman, yesterday I borrowed your prestige to frustrate Fang Shihong's spirit, and today I borrowed your luck to not only repay the debt of 60,000 taels, but also to make you a skateboard, how can this be reasonable, but talking about silver hurts feelings, I don't have anything good, I just got an ancient knife called 'Cold Moon Blade' at the auction yesterday, it is better to give it to you to play, this is the most expensive thing I can get in addition to silver." ”

"You're talking about the Cold Moon Blade of Lady Xu of the Warring States Period?" Zhu Youzhen asked with some surprise, he knew the name of the Cold Moon Blade.

"I heard a few old men in the auction say that it seems to be from the Warring States, but I don't know if it's Mrs. Xu or Mrs. Zhao." Zhu Ying'an replied.

"In that case, I'm welcome." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

"Fifth brother, do you think you can sell us a pair?" The youngest Qin Yu asked a little embarrassed.

"You are called Fifth Brother, so why do you want to see the outside like this." Zhu Youzhen handed the skateboard to Qin Jue.

Zhang Zhiji and Luo Yangxing on the side looked at the other two with blinking eyes, but they couldn't say anything.

Zhu Youzhen didn't intend to embarrass them, so he took two more skateboards and handed them over.

People who are good at gambling have always paid attention to gambling, and Luo Yangxing is also willing to gamble and lose, and said, "Fifth Brother Xie." ”

Zhang Zhiji saw that Luo Yang's personality was older than him, and he couldn't go back on his word again, so he also said, "Fifth Brother Xie." ”

Zhu Ying'an was surprised when he heard this, "Ziyu, aren't the Zhu family brothers your cousin?" Why do you call him Fifth Brother instead? ”

Zhang Zhiji gave Zhu Youzhen an inquiring look, Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "There is no one else today, so you can tell them the truth." ”

At this time, Zhang Zhiji said, "Let me reintroduce you again, this is actually the Fifth Emperor Sun Zhu Youzhen, as for why he is called the fifth brother, this is the bet just now." ”

After listening to Zhang Zhiji's words, a few people understood at this time, no wonder they could take out so many skateboards at one time.

Qin Jue said with a smile, "It seems that this fifth brother's call is not a loss." ”

"Since you don't lose money, how about you teach your fifth brother to ride a horse today?" Zhu Youzhen replied with a smile.

"I'm glad to do it, brothers, walking on the horse farm." Qin Jue greeted him and rushed to the racecourse.
