Chapter 124: Horse Racing

Meng Ke and Zhang Yue were invited to sit in the big tent. The race on the racecourse began, and the sound of hooves on the racecourse was shocking and spectacular. The riders have ribbons wrapped around their heads, tassels fluttering, dressed in colorful robes, all the way to urge the horses to raise their whips, and all the way to the prancing horses galloping. Superb riding skills, harmonious cooperation of people and horses.

From time to time, he won the praise of the audience and crossed the finish line one by one in the cheers and cheers. Zhang Yue couldn't help blurting out applaudation off the court.

"Are all the injuries on Miss Zhang's body healed?" The general named Hu Shan just now suddenly asked Zhang Yue quite respectfully.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, looked at this person, remembered that day when he led his troops to loot, a nameless fire rose up, and he was about to open his mouth to encourage him to say a few words.

Meng Keqiang, who was next to him, spoke first, "Miss Zhang's injury has healed. If it weren't for Kushan this time, Ben Khan would not have been able to meet you, an old man. So if you have had a little unpleasantness before, don't take it personally. ”

Hu Shan hurriedly said, "I didn't know that Miss Zhang was a precious friend of the Khan, and I offended the girl, it was wrong, please ask the girl to do a lot of Haihan." ”

Zhang Yue glanced at Meng Ke, it seems that Meng Ke brought himself here today not only to watch horse racing, but also to do some peacemaking things.

With so many eyes watching, Zhang Yue couldn't refute Meng Ke's face in person, and said coldly, "The general is too worried, the matter has passed, so there is no need to mention it again." ”

Hu Shan hurriedly bowed his head and thanked Zhang Yue.

Meng Ke seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Yue's reply, and said to Hu Shan, "Hu Shan, when will the women's horse racing start, let Miss Zhang appreciate the boldness of our Tatar women on horseback." ”

"Yes, the minister will arrange it immediately." Kushan turned around and went out.

Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yue's unkind face and said, "Among the many generals under my command, Hu Shan is already good to the people of the Central Plains. As long as the people of the Central Plains do not resist, they will not take their lives. ”

Zhang Yue pursed her lips, "Meng Ke, you have beautiful cattle and sheep in Tatar grass, and you are not short of food and clothing, can you stop robbing the property of the villagers on the border of the Ming Dynasty in the future." ”

Munch's blue eyes flashed a hint of strangeness, "Zhang Yue, my ancestor Genghis Khan once said, "Let the grass-covered places become my horse grazing land", this is also my ideal. ”

Zhang Yue was just about to continue the persuasion, when suddenly there was a thunderous cheer on the field. I saw the women's horse racing on the field, and a girl in a blue shirt broke through the finish line first and won the championship.

Munch's entourage applauded, but Munch just nodded expressionlessly.

Zhang Yue looked at the girl in blue on the field, and a flash of inspiration, "Khan, Zhang Yue wants to compete with this girl in blue horse racing?" ”

The entire big tent looked at Zhang Yue in disbelief, and Meng Ke also looked at Zhang Yue in surprise, "Do you know that she is the top female rider in our clan." ”

"Khan, Zhang Yue knows that the opponent is very powerful, if Zhang Yue is lucky to win the game. Can the Khan promise Zhang Yue not to rob the belongings of the villagers on the border of the Ming Dynasty? ”

The big tent was silent for a moment, and Meng Ke's eyes were fixed on Zhang Yue, and after a while, "Okay, if you can defeat the girl in blue, Ben Khan promised not to violate the border of the Ming Dynasty within a year." ”

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth, a year later, Daming's strength should be able to improve a lot after Zhu Youzhang's rectification. In any case, the people on the border will not be affected by the war for at least one year, and it will be a year if it can be delayed for a year.

She then asked Munch to take her horse, Black Flower, to the arena, change into a red tight rider's suit, and prepare for the race.

Zhang Yue fed the black flower to eat carrots, and briefly moved his limbs. By the way, I asked the referee for the details of the waiting game. She looked very relaxed and uninhibited. Munch's eagle-like gaze always hovered over Zhang Yue's body.

The race finally started, and the race ran around the racecourse three times in total. The girl in blue lived up to expectations and rushed in front first, and Zhang Yue rode a black flower to chase after her unhurriedly.

Seeing that he was about to finish the second lap, Zhang Yue was left behind by the girl in blue for most of the lap, and the crowd of onlookers laughed at Zhang Yue from time to time.

Munch, who was sitting upright in the middle of the big tent, was expressionless, his eyes were always locked on Zhang Yue, and the Tatar nobles watching around him didn't dare to laugh out loud, and they all secretly covered their mouths and secretly had fun.

Finally arrived at the last lap, Zhang Yue, who was far behind, listened to the sound of inverted colors around him, and showed no concern at all.

The blue-clothed girl looked back at Zhang Yue behind her contemptuously, and was about to speed up and swing the horsewhip and finally sprint with a smug expression.

The horse under his crotch suddenly slowed down, looked absent-minded, and finally stopped, stretched out his horse's head to eat the grass on the edge of the racecourse.

The girl in blue and everyone present were shocked, and the girl in blue tightened the reins and kept whipping the horse's buttocks, but the horse was like a demon, and only dodged a few times, and then continued to graze.

After a while, Zhang Yue in the back rode a horse and chased after him. As she passed by the girl in blue, she smiled faintly at the girl in blue. He whipped the horse and overtook it quickly.

The girl in blue was so anxious that she lashed the horse violently, and the horse seemed to be provoked, and raised her body to throw her off.

Everyone present watched in amazement at the scene-turning, and Munch's eyes flashed with an unfathomable smile.

On the premise that there are no competitors, Zhang Yue has no intention of crossing the finish line first. The crowd fell into a lull.

Munch in the big tent stood up, raised his hands, took the lead in clapping a few times, and shouted, "Good! ”

Cheers and congratulations were immediately heard from the crowd.

Zhang Yue came to the big tent, jumped off the horse lightly, dressed in red like a blooming begonia, thick black long hair fluttering in the wind, a pair of eyes were extremely smart, and seemed to have a faint smile, Meng Ke was stunned, so deep that there was a trace of waves in his eyes.

Zhang Yue came to the big tent under everyone's strange gaze.

She took off her hat and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, Munch picked up a glass of mare's milk wine on the table and handed it to her, and whispered, "Not bad! ”

Zhang Yue smiled at him, took the mare's milk wine and drank it all, "I have already won her, should the Khan also fulfill his promise." ”

Munch's eyes were half-clear and half-ambiguous, making it difficult to distinguish, "Okay, Ben Khan will fulfill the previous bet with you." ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the horsewhip on the table, "Go back to the Khan Court." Then he walked out of the tent.

The Tatar nobles next to him followed one after another, and Kushan led his clansmen to kneel down and send the khan back to the Khan's court.

On the way back to the Khan Garden, Zhang Yue, who was on a par with Munch, was in a very good mood, but he didn't dare to show too much excitement.

When he was about to reach the Khan Court, Munch, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke, "How did you manage to stop her horse?"

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment, "You can see that I have done something." ”

"You're getting good at riding, but it's impossible to win against her. The female rider's horse was one of the best horses in a hundred, and she was well-trained on weekdays. There's no way to get out of control, unless you do it, but Ben Khan can't guess how you did it? ”

Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, "If I tell you, you can't go back on what you promised me." ”

Munch said, "I don't regret it, you name it." ”

Zhang Yue took out something that looked like a plant rhizome from his cuffs, "I secretly threw this in the grass on the side of the racecourse when I ran the second lap. ”

Meng Ke picked up the plant in Zhang Yue's hand, and after taking a closer look, he frowned slightly, "What is this?" The horse stopped when it touched this thing? ”

Zhang Yue smiled proudly, "This is called chicory, its rhizome is extremely high in sugar, and this thing also has a strange fragrance, which humans will not notice, but the horse will follow this fragrance to find chicory, and after eating it, the horse will have a hallucination and fall into a state of self-absorption, like a human being drunk and drunk, of course, he will not pay attention to the whipping of the female rider." ”

"But why didn't your horse eat chicory?" ”

Zhang Yue showed a playful smile, stretched out his hand to Heihua's nose and pulled it hard, and a piece of cloth was pulled out of the horse's nose, "Because of this!" ”

After her nose was cleared, Heihua seemed to feel much more comfortable, shook the horse's neck slightly, and suddenly accelerated her pace and rushed forward, startling Zhang Yue, she shouted, "Eh! Black flower, you run slowly, I didn't see you running so fast at the racecourse just now? Eh, slow down..."

Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yue's back, and his thin lips curled into a smile arc......
