The two got closer and closer, and soon Zhao Hongxiang was only half a horse behind.

The ram turned his head to look, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

As a member of the Ram family, he has raced horses with Zhao Hongxiang many times.

The horses of the two are of the same bloodline, their strength is similar, and Ram Teng's riding skills are better than Zhao Hongxiang, especially the horse battle, even if he doesn't use the strength of the reader, he can easily defeat ten Zhao Hongxiang, after all, he has been on the battlefield.

But now the two sides are just a pure race, and the advantage of being 70 pounds lighter is far greater than the advantage of being better than the horsemanship.

The ram turned his head and saw unprecedented concentration and desire in Zhao Hong's makeup.

As a friend of Zhao Hongxiang, Ram Teng knows very well that Zhao Hongxiang is a unique woman and a persistent reader, she has studied far harder than her peers since she was a child, and she has practiced the six arts of a gentleman harder than all men.

Ram Teng still remembers that many years ago, Xuanzong held the first emperor and Zhao Hongxiang brother and sister in both hands, and attended the cultural meeting that only the wealthy families and royal families in the capital were qualified to participate in.

At that time, the seven-year-old Zhao Hongjiao was very strong, and the Wenhui would not let women write poems, but she rushed forward with Xuanzong's favor, snatched the pen from a boy, and wrote an extremely good poem, which was better than many of her peers.

An old patriarch was not happy, so he asked her why she studied so hard.

Zhao Hongxiang raised her head and replied: "If a woman can take the imperial examination, she will not be sharpened in battle." ”

At that time, all the adults laughed, and some children also giggled, but the three-year-old ram Teng who was the eldest Zhao Hongmakeup felt that Zhao Hongmakeup was not ordinary, and he always remembered it in his heart, because he was the boy who was robbed of the pen by Zhao Hongmakeup.

One is a royal princess, the other is a child of a family, the two have intersections from time to time, Ram Teng often hears about Zhao Hong's makeup, and knows that she often answers questions after the imperial examination. And then compared with the poetry essay of the last admitter, one of the things she often said was, but that's it.

Five years ago, one of her close friends gave up her studies and married away from home. A year later, the woman committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.

Soon, Zhao Hongxiang received a blood letter left by a close friend on his deathbed.

Hate not to be a man! hate! hate! hate!

Since then, Zhao Hongxiang has never done the subject of the imperial examination, and has never said "but so".

Ram Teng often listened to the women of the Women's Club vent their anger and say "If I am a man", Zhao Hongxiang has never said this. She only said that one day, women in the world will also be able to take the imperial examination!

Many people have persuaded Zhao Hongjiao to let her marry early and not spend so much time studying, no matter who advises, she will always answer with only one sentence.

"If a woman can take the imperial examination, wouldn't it be regretful?"

At the beginning, when he heard Zhao Hongxiang say this, Ram Teng only felt that this woman was determined. Not in the pool.

But when I heard these words later, a faint sadness rose in my heart for no reason.

If Zhao Hongxiang couldn't wait for the day of the women's imperial examination before she died, would she regret it?

Ram Teng's deepest memory of Zhao Hong's makeup was a literary meeting three years ago.

At that time, a scholar asked: "Her Royal Highness the Princess with Red Makeup." Do you believe in the way of heaven?"

Zhao Hongxiang replied: "I don't believe that there is a day. ”

"Why?"

"If one day, if a woman is not guilty, why is she unable to bear the punishment of the imperial examination, and why is she not as good as a man's punishment!"

The room was full of men, silent.

Ram Teng still remembers Zhao Hongxiang's sonorous and powerful voice.

The ram lifts into a man. After three baptisms of talent, his body was exceptionally strong, and he felt tired after galloping three hundred miles. But Zhao Hongxiang is not only petite, but also has no talent baptism, and his body is far inferior to him.

Zhao Hong's makeup was lying on the horse, her hair was messy, her breathing was short, her face was constantly sweating, constantly stained with dust, and sweat washed away the dust, making mud marks appear on her face.

She could no longer sit still, her hands had no strength, but her strong will allowed her to hold the reins firmly.

In Ram Teng's mind, Zhao Hong's makeup on the horse overlapped with the girl who snatched his brush back then, turning into the same woman in red.

She was born innocent and unfair, but she never gave up!

Ram Teng sighed softly.

At this moment, there is only one mile left from Tongshan.

"Drive!" Zhao Hongxiang gritted his teeth and shouted, his whole body was suddenly filled with endless strength, and his eyes were burning with a raging fighting spirit.

Even if the Heavenly Dao comes, she can't be allowed to bow her head!

She ...... Better than me. ”

Ram Teng didn't deliberately want to let it, and also made the final sprint, but he obviously felt that his Jiaoma was tired, as long as he attracted some heaven and earth vitality, he could solve it, but now he couldn't do anything.

A red figure galloped between heaven and earth, and the black-clothed man stood side by side with her.

Fang Yun stood in front of him, and there was a line drawn with the True Dragon Ancient Sword on the ground.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

The two sprint to the finish line together.

Zhao Hongxiang was three inches ahead of the ram, less than half the length of a horse's head.

But after crossing the finish line for a breath, the ram soared overtake, and Zhao Hongxiang weakly released the reins, and his body was crooked, and he was about to roll off.

The invisible power fell on Zhao Hongxiang's body, and the sprinting Jiaoma was actually frozen in place.

Fang Yun thanked the guardian Daru, flew over to pick up Zhao Hong's makeup, and then flew to the other side, took out the suggested bedding from the drinking Jiangbei, and put her on it.

Zhao Hongxiang quickly sat up, her lips were white, her face was covered with sweat and mud, and there was an unbroken light in her eyes.

"Who's going to be the leader?"

Fang Yun smiled and said, "You are the female champion, half a head ahead." ”

Zhao Hongxiang showed a bright smile, the white teeth were neatly arranged, her eyes were crooked, and the joy in her eyes was enough to melt the early winter.

Ram Teng, who was riding back on his horse, muttered, "If I had been a few miles farther, I would have been the champion." ”

When he spoke, he had a faint smile on his face, and his gaze at Zhao Hongjiao and Fang Yun was brighter than the sun.

Others arrived one after another, the top three were confirmed, and some began to slow down before they reached the finish line.

A woman saw Zhao Hong's makeup falling on the futon, and shouted at the ram Teng: "Sister-in-law likes the princess with red makeup the most, if you hurt her, I see how you will explain when you go home?"

Ram Teng heard his wife mentioned, his face was filled with a comfortable smile, and said: "Her Royal Highness the Red Makeup Princess has nothing to do, and Humble Jing won't blame me." ”

When all the staff arrived, Fang Yun took out Wenbao from Yinjiang Beili and gave it to the top three.

Zhao Hongxiang carefully put away the Wenbao pen.

After sending Wenbao, Fang Yun looked at Tongshan, which was pale and yellow.

Tongshan is a general term for many mountain peaks that stretch for thousands of miles.

Before the founding of Jingguo, there was a small group of more than 300 barbarians who got lost and went to Tongshan, and had a fierce battle with the nearby defenders, and finally the human race annihilated the barbarians at the cost of more than 3,000 people.

In order to commemorate the fallen martyrs, the Mizhou military established a small checkpoint north of Tongshan.

It already belongs to the boundary of Mizhou, and there is a Hongxian County ten miles away from Tongshan, which is the place where Liushan served as the county commander, and has always been regarded as the birthplace of Liushan by the Zuo Xiangdang.
