The prince walked into the hall and heard Ma Chao say in a tired voice, let's have another piece. It turned out that the eldest lady was holding a delicately made mung bean cake and teasing Ma Chao. Ma Chao was lying on the bed, his eyes rolling with the mung bean cake, and he threatened the eldest lady that if she didn't eat it, she would kiss her. The eldest lady said yes, and as she was talking, she saw the prince, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, with a shy look on her face, and muttered softly in her mouth.

Ma Chao also climbed down from the bed and saluted like a big worm, the prince said Excuse me, you have just recovered, and it is inconvenient to move. The eldest lady retired first, and the prince looked around and saw that there was no one, which explained the intention. said that His Majesty had thoroughly investigated Yan Guangyang's lineage, but unfortunately he didn't find who helped Yan Guangyang.

Ma Chao said that Wanyan Guangyang said that person is a nobleman, and this nobleman must have a prominent identity. The emperor has no clues, and we still have a line to pursue. The prince asked where to chase. Ma Chao said word by word, and he was finished.

……

Several princes made an appointment to go to the hunting area to race horses. In the snow, riding a horse and galloping, it has a unique flavor. There were four people who participated this time, the crown prince, King Xu Wanyan Yunji, King Hao Wanyan Yunzhong, and King Yu Wanyan Yunji.

This is the first time Ma Chao has met Yan Yunzhong, this prince should be in his thirties, not as young as the prince, to like an old man in his forties, with a goatee, and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he laughs. The king of pickaxes deliberately looked at Ma Chao and said to Ma Chao that the two had some fate, and after only saying a word, they left with a smile. Ma Chao was a little puzzled, and when King Ho walked away, the prince said that Yunzhong was the most capable of the brothers, and he held an important position, which made Ma Chao a little surprised, because Wanyan Yunzhong was the privy envoy.

Ma Chao was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't think of Yan Yunzhong's identity, the privy envoy is a military and political institution, collecting intelligence for the use of the imperial history platform. In the past two years, the Privy Council has become stronger and stronger, and it has vaguely stood on the top of the Imperial Historical Tower, beyond control.

All of this is related to this Wanyan Yunzhong, a man who is not good-looking, and has extraordinary abilities.

Ma Chao was pondering that the horse race had begun, and the rider was a servant who took care of the horses on weekdays. King Xu's horse was white and ran fast, but unfortunately it lacked stamina, and King Xu's black BMW was calm and powerful. The prince's horse is sturdy, it is a yellow horse of the grassland, the speed is not good, but it is the horse of the king of pickaxes, a little old, lean, competing with the horses in the cold wind, looking particularly weak and windy.

The whole race is not so simple, in addition to the speed competition, there is also deep snow forward, up the hill and climbing. At the end of the race, the emaciated horse of the Pickaxe King, whose weight and suitability for snow and mountain climbing, prevailed. The horse of the king of the king was the first to be defeated, and the horse of the king of the pickaxe was also struggling, but unfortunately, the prince's sturdy horse was left far behind, not to mention the thin horse that was far ahead.

The crown prince and all the princes were watching from a distance. Seeing Yunzhong's horse leading, the prince said with a smile, no matter what kind of terrain, when you and my brother race horses, the fourth child will always use a little-known horse to win the final victory.

The king of pickaxes has entered a state of competition, and the whole person is different, staring at his war horse from afar and saying, not to the end, the victory or defeat can not be said, everyone thinks that there is no suspense about this victory, but Ma Chao said, this time it is the prince's horse victory.

King Xu was a little unhappy with Ma Chao's talking, he thought that Ma Chao was a lowly horse doctor, how could he interject indiscriminately when the master was talking. It's just that the prince didn't say anything, and King Xu could only endure it. The prince sighed, and said to the king of pickaxes, "It's better for us to gamble."

The brothers didn't object, so they blocked a hundred taels of silver. Of course, the king of the king of the pickaxe wins, Wan Yan Yunzhong looked at his thin horse that was still leading, and then looked at Ma Chao, and actually blocked the prince's horse to win.

This somewhat surprised the prince, but the prince believed in Ma Chao's ability and bet on his horse to win. King Xu looked very unhappy and said, Obviously, the fourth brother's horse is ahead, but because of a lowly person, he doesn't understand the rules, and you actually bet on the game that you will lose. King Xu also said that he didn't believe in evil, so he bet on the horse of the king of pickaxes to win.

2:2

The pickaxe king's horse was far ahead, and as he ran, he suddenly fell, and the man in charge of controlling the horse suddenly fell off the horse. The skinny horse struggled to his feet, and before he had gone far, he fell on his head again. After several delays, he was overtaken by the horse that belonged to the prince later.

The prince was a little surprised, so he asked Ma Chao how he knew the result. Ma Chao said that the horse of the pickaxe king was thin and weak, and in the initial speed race, because of the competitive character of the horse servant, he injured the horse, and the horse's tendons were strained. By the time we entered the second section, the horses were struggling to walk in the snow and stumbling. It's not that the horse's physical strength has decreased, but the strain has become more and more serious, but the horse servant doesn't know it, and there is only victory in his eyes.

By the end of the climb, the horses were out of power, but the horse servants were still not satisfied with the victory, and wanted to win a more disparity. The horse's patience finally reached its limit, and it was overwhelming.

The prince was a little surprised, and asked the pickaxe king Wanyan Yunzhong if he also saw that the horse's tendons were strained. The king of pickaxes modestly said no, but it looked more awkward, and he was not as good as Ma Chao in terms of his ability to look at horses.

King Xu was not happy when he heard this, and said that King Ho was the Bole of Kyoto. King Xu also said that Ma Chao just guessed correctly, just luck. When he had finished speaking, he saw that the prince was frowning and did not speak, so he was displeased, and said, since the horse was finished, the brother would retire first, and he would not salute when he had finished speaking, but walked away.

On the way back, Ma Chao asked the prince, is King Xu like this on weekdays? The prince frowned and thought for a while before saying, this matter has nothing to do with Ma Chao, obviously King Xu is not usually like this, because Ma Chao is not happy.

Ma Chao said that it doesn't matter if King Xu is prejudiced against himself, he can visit tomorrow. The prince was a little surprised, looked at Ma Chao and said, apologize? Ma Chao snorted with his nose and said no, since he is not happy today, when he visits tomorrow, he will be even more unhappy.

The prince laughed when he heard this, and said that he was very interested in wanting to know how to make King Xu unhappy. King Xu is a member of the military department, he grew up in the military camp, and his personality is a little more reckless, if Ma Chao provokes him, this King Xu may be a direct killer.

Ma Chao was not afraid, saying that he had just come back from the Ghost Gate, and he was quite fond of that side, so he would see how reckless this King Xu was tomorrow.
