At this time, when everyone was still speculating whether this was directly faster than whose horse was running, or whether it was a form of competition in which the horse was fighting, Chang Gonggong spoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Today's horseback riding competition is not about everyone fighting each other, so please rest assured that there will be no danger to your life. Today's competition is a simple horseback riding, but ......" Chang Gonggong looked at the candidates who were eager to try, and said: "However, today's competition is not whose horse is faster, but whose horse is slower." The last three arrived at the foot of Langshan Mountain behind the racecourse, and they could enter the final round of the princess's face-to-face examination. The three candidates who can enter the final round can be reused by the king of Western Xia, and the official is the third grade, and the remaining twenty-two candidates should not be unconvinced, you will also have a golden hundred taels rewarded by the princess, okay, the competition is about to begin, you should go to the red line and prepare to start. ”

Chang Gonggong pointed to a freshly drawn red line behind them and said, except for the candidates who had sworn by them, except for the thin seal Chengjie who had known the exam questions for a long time, he was calm and comfortable, and the rest of the people, including Lu Xiaoyu, were very shocked. This horse riding has always been a comparison of whose horse is faster, how can it be compared to whose horse is slower? Aren't the fine horses they just chose now a stumbling block to their victory?

Watching the candidates not know what to do, the princess observed the behavior of everyone in the purple gauze tent at this time. Some of the short-tempered candidates immediately became very impatient, muttering something from time to time. Those quietly frowned and didn't know what to do. Most of the others were drifting with the flow, and since the rules were so set, they led the horses to the red line step by step to compete, without thinking about how to deal with them.

Look at the few people who just chose the horse, because of the selection of twenty-five horses, a horse specially prepared in advance by Chang Gonggong is an old, weak, sick and disabled horse, and he has to pant for breath when he walks a few steps, and people can crush it anytime and anywhere when they sit on it, this kind of horse is not good for fighting, but for this kind of competition, it is simply the most perfect tool, and those candidates who did not choose it are both envious and regretful, because they see that the owner of this horse is the son of today's important minister Xi Fengren, and they dare not make a mistake, can only be jealous.

The other horse selected by Jiang Ge was not much stronger than that of Feng Chengjie, so some candidates wanted to coerce and lure him when they saw that he was just a poor boy from the countryside.

"Can this son give me your horse, I will pay three hundred taels of silver and ask you to change it, what do you think?" A well-dressed candidate came to make a deal with Jiang Ge.

The others saw that someone was looking for Jiang Ge to change horses, and they knew that his horse was also an old, weak, sick and disabled horse, and they all wanted to come over and get his one. This bid was five hundred, this one rose to eight hundred, and finally the price soared directly to five hundred taels of gold, this amount is a number that Jiang Ge and their entire town can't make up, if he takes this gold and takes his mother back, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown, and he doesn't have to go to great lengths to compete for the name of the horse, and he may not be able to choose.

But in the end, Jiang Ge looked at his old mother, who was looking at him outside the paddock, and he resolutely gave up the idea. The reason why he came here was to show his ability in front of the princess, not really to choose a concubine, but to be reused by the court and even lead the soldiers to charge, which can be regarded as Jiang Ge's mother's expectation for her son. But if he had taken this huge amount of gold at this time, he would have brought him only the stench of copper and the despised virtue.

Jiang Ge believed that if his mother was by his side at this time and knew what he was thinking, he would be proud of him.

Seeing that Jiang Ge refused to sell even five hundred taels of gold, everyone thought that he was deliberately sitting on the ground and raising the price, wanting to make a sky-high price, and the grumpy candidate inside said obviously impatiently: "You kid is shameless, you know how many good horses you can buy with five hundred taels of gold, just your dying horse, uncle, I give you this price to look up to you, why do you know the rules of the competition now, and you still want to sit on the ground and start the price." ”

The candidates who were watching next to him obviously didn't think it was a big deal and didn't dissuade them, and some of them also encouraged that person to fight Jiang Ge, Jiang Ge smiled when he saw this situation and said: "I, Jiang Ge, am not the kind of person who covets wealth and nobility, and I don't want to be rich and prosperous here, I just want to be able to do what I should do for Xixia, since you want this old, weak, sick and disabled horse, then I won't give it to you, if you want it, take your horse in exchange." ”

At first, those people didn't believe it, the grumpy man really brought his horse over and was ready to exchange with Jiang Ge, seeing that Jiang Ge was really going to reach out to pick up the horse rope, the onlookers next to him also exploded, and they rushed to exchange with Jiang Ge. In this way, the scene was uncontrollable for a while, and it fell into chaos. Cheng Jie, who had long been bound to win, pretended to run to persuade him, and did not forget to deliberately fan the flames and said: "This Jiang Gongzi is really a chivalrous person, it is really a blessing for our Xixia to have a talent like you in Xixia, I think you are a sure son of this colt!" If the princess doesn't choose you, I will definitely ask my father to protect you in front of the king and make you a general. ”

The tone of the fine seal Chengjie was deliberately aggravated when he talked about being a colt, which made the people competing next to him even more unconvinced, which onion is this kid, why is he a colt and still gets the weight of the son of the calligrapher in the fine seal. The competition between this group of people with a jealous psychology became more and more fierce, and in the end, they directly staged a full martial arts.

The princess saw that these talents who had been carefully selected after three rounds were jealous of each other and hurt each other in the end, and she was so angry that her originally pink face became iron-blue, and the invigilator next to her, Xiang Wenli, asked cautiously: "Your Royal Highness the princess, do you want to go over to maintain order, so that it is not a way to let them make trouble." ”

"Just let them make trouble, I think they are all mediocre talents, especially that Jiang Ge is still acting there, he is the most scheming. I think it's still the son of the big man's family, the fine seal Chengjie is mature and steady, and he knows how to uphold justice, and he still values that Jiang Ge so much, it's really a rare talent. Father-in-law Chang took the opportunity to praise Cheng Jie, in order to make the princess more favored him.

The princess was about to speak, but she saw Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Xiangwu, who had been standing by and watching for a long time, quickly ran to the side of the fighting crowd after communicating with the invisible Lu Xiaoyu.
