Now that it's decided, you have to go all out. Now there is still a month before the Stone Man Competition, and Li Tao has to make some preparations.

According to the convention, there are three competitions in the Stone Man Competition, which are horse racing, fighting and archery. In each game, each side will have one person, and two wins in three games will be considered the final victory.

Que Te Qin is the first warrior of the Turks, and it is natural to fight and win the last game. However, the third brother of Tongrussia, Yang Izhi, followed the first Turkic marksman, the Condor King, to practice archery for ten years, and his archery skills were perfect, not to mention that he could not find anyone to compete with under the account of the left and right virtuous kings, and he was also a rare opponent in the entire Turkic steppe. It was not surprising that Yang won the archery competition. Therefore, the key to the final victory is the horse race, if you want to win in the horse race, you must have a good horse, which is why Mo Jianlian sent people everywhere to find a horse trainer.

"How? Did you find it? Li Tao looked at Kangba, who was sweating profusely.

Kang Ba lowered his head in shame: "Little master, I have seen all the good horses provided by the left and right Xianwang, and none of them can win safely, I have disappointed you!" ”

……

Li Tao didn't care too much, but the disappointment of Mo Jianlian and Que Special Service on the side was overflowing.

"It's okay, you look for it slowly, there's still time! It's providence that I can't find it, I won't blame you! ”

Li Tao didn't bet the treasure on Kangba, he still had a back hand, even if he lost the horse race, he still had Li Yide on his side, and when it came to archery, that Yang I branch might not necessarily be able to win Li Yide.

"Khamba, take me to see the majestic posture of the Turkic horse!" Li Tao stood up.

"Little master, but it's going to rain this day......" Kangba hesitated.

"It's okay, let's go!"

The rain came so fast, and the horses began to run on the grassland, scrambling to be the first, echoing each other, and their cloaks were scattered, incisively! Some galloped forward frantically, some ran back and forth, and the pony followed the mare nervously, no longer naughty and happy.

"Huh?" Li Tao pointed to a thin horse in the herd and said, "It can breathe fire in its mouth?" ”

Not only Mo Jianlian and Que Special Service, but Kang Ba also noticed, his face was solemn, and he muttered to himself: "It's really ...... to say that it's hard to say."

After Mo Thorn ordered someone to bring the thin horse over, he was dumbfounded, the horse was covered with skin and bones, dry as firewood, covered with scabs but without a long mane. Such an ugly horse, let alone a race, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry everyone, he looked at Khamba.

Kham didn't notice Mo Jianlian's gaze, he just stared silently at the ugly horse in front of him.

Finally, Kham jumped on the horse, and the thin horse immediately picked up his stump and tried to throw Kham off his body. Kham sat firmly on the horse, holding the lean horse tightly.

"I didn't expect this horsepower to be really small!" Que Special Service was surprised.

As he spoke, the thin horse was already running fast, as fast as lightning. After running for a quarter of an hour, the horse, instead of throwing Kham off, was sweating profusely and exhausted, and finally stopped. Kham rode his horse unhurriedly, stroking his horse's head and whispering something softly. Gradually, the skinny horse became docile, and it seemed that Kham had convinced the horse.

Kang Ba led the horse to Li Tao, and his mouth couldn't close with a smile: "Little master, it seems that our luck has come, this is a rare flame horse for a thousand years, legend has it that every time this horse thunders and lightning on a rainy day, it will neigh in the sky, and a stream of fire will erupt from its mouth." ”

"Will this horse work?"

"Don't worry, little master, I'll take care of this. In less than a month, I will be able to make it fat and strong, and this horse race is a sure win! ”

After listening to Kangba's words, Mo Jianlian and Que Special Service showed joy on their faces, as if they had seen the fiasco of the same Russia.

Kangba really didn't say anything, he pulled the horse to a grassy beach, picked Chinese herbs every day to boil, applied to the thin horse, and soon took off the scab, only more than 20 days of flame pony appeared, mouth spewing fire, hooves neighing, as if there was a thousand powers.

……

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, in the stone crowd not far from the tent of the Turkic Khan, the annual stone man conference is about to begin.

The autumn is high and cool, the grassland is endless, the streams are vertical and horizontal, the pasture is luxuriant, the grass by the stream occasionally has pheasants, wild ducks fly in fright, the clouds are white, like cotton balls, like tulle, like silk wadding, it seems to be exceptionally clean and elegant.

Men from various Turkic tribes, dressed in costumes and riding horses, gathered from all over the world to participate in the stone man assembly. The grassland is crowded with people, full of palace tents, felt bags, and crowds of people everywhere, presenting a warm scene of people cheering and horses.

The stone figure conference lasted for five days.

On the first day, various rituals are performed.

On the second day, a horse racing competition was held.

On the third day, a fighting competition was conducted.

On the fourth day, an archery competition was conducted.

On the fifth day, the Turkic Khan proclaimed the title of Champion of the Victor and bestowed Princess Sona on the winner.

On the first day, the revered Turkic Grand Wizard Sangar arrived, possessing superhuman divine powers and spells.

The Turks were all devotions to shamanism, and only Sangar could communicate freely with gods and demons. He tied a red rope to each stone figure, and the lower end of the rope was fastened to the grass with mahogany, which was a ladder to the gods.

He beat the drum in his hand and recited words in his mouth, asking the gods to come down and ask the gods to give him divine powers.

The gods seemed to possess Sangar, and he jumped with a sword endowed by the gods, and sang and talked to the devil hidden in the air. Singing and dancing, his mouth began to let out a roar like wind and rain, and his expression was magnificent.

People rode horses, ran around the stone figures, and shouted loudly.

After a busy day, when night falls, piles of bonfires are lit on the grass in front of each felt bag, people slaughter countless livestock, barbecue with fire, people in front of each tent sit around the bonfire, eat hand-grabbed meat in large pieces, drink fragrant milk tea, taste mellow milk wine, and sing beautiful ballads with the melodious sound of the piano.

In a gorgeous palace tent, Mo Jianlian, Tun Desire Valley, and Que Secret Service did not participate in the bonfire party, but quietly looked at Li Tao opposite.

"Li Xiaolangjun, I don't know what you're still worried about?" Que couldn't help but ask.

Li Tao sighed and said, "I don't know, but I always feel a little unusual!" ”

"What's unusual?" Tunyugu asked calmly.

"In the past month, it has been too calm, not only has the Khan not made any movement, but even Tongrussia, who has always been unable to hold his breath, has not made the slightest movement, is this normal?"

Lust Valley nodded, it was indeed a bit abnormal.

"Even if the same Russia looks down on me again, at least I should have a confidant and know the other, right? Now there are only two possibilities for this phenomenon! ”

"Li Xiaolangjun, please speak up!" Mo Jian's face became heavy.

"First, Khan and Tongrussia don't care about the outcome of this time!"

"No way!" The three of them said in unison.

"Then there is only one other possibility left, the Khan is already confident of winning against the same Russia!"

When the three of them heard this, their hearts couldn't help but sink, but they really couldn't understand the reason.
