Chapter 17: Shocking Horses
There are also some noble ladies who look at the silver ingots that are scattered on the ground irregularly and at tricky angles, and feel that this competition is too much of a test of skills, and they fell off the horse if they accidentally did not pick up the silver, but they were afraid that they would be disabled, so they hesitated.
If the horse race is just a race to win, they may be able to fight with the strength of their mounts, but now there is a treasure picking link, which is simply a suspicion of death.
Thinking about it, the ladies flinched.
Anyway, they usually can't compare to a few qualifications, so why bother to be at the bottom!
In the end, only Jianning, Sizhen, Ayunduo, Talma and two other noble girls of their age played.
As soon as the gong sounded, Talma ran out first.
She rode a white snowflake star, running very fast, a delicate horse, a red dress with a flying hem, very good-looking, to the first silver ingot, Talma kicked open the stirrup with both feet, supported with both hands, first took a big top on the horse's back, and then a "swallow water", the body was almost level with the horse, and the silver ingot was fished in his hand.
There was a congratulatory cheer in the field.
At this moment, Jian Ning and Si Zhen were two, one black and one red, and the two horses both surpassed her.
These two people are not like Talma playing those skills, but they simply leaned over when they saw the silver ingot, and as soon as they copied it on the ground, they picked up a piece of silver ingot.
The difference is that every time Jian Ning picks up a silver ingot, he will continue to move forward directly, but Sizhen will control the reins and turn around to pick up another piece not far away.
Moreover, every time she pulled down the distance, she was able to catch up quickly, and she always kept pace with Jianning.
Gradually, people on the sidelines woke up to the fact that this Zhen Gege seemed to be inconspicuous, but her speed and short-distance control had clearly reached the point where she was handy.
Some ingots are arranged almost on the same line, and in order to pick them up, it is necessary to make a sharp turn and circle around the place.
In such a quick and sharp turn, if the strength of the legs and feet and the reins in the hands are not properly matched, the person on the horse will be affected by inertia, and will be thrown off the horse's back and fall to the ground.
There are galloping horses coming from behind, and if you fall down, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
When they noticed Kong Sizhen's action, the nobles outside the arena couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed.
But Sizhen didn't seem to feel that the horse was running, she rode the horse in the air and turned around, backhanded, picked up the silver ingots on the ground and put them in the bag in front of her, and continued to gallop forward, as if the beautiful and thrilling action just now had nothing to do with her.
Once, she leaned over, and came out of the horse's belly on the left side, and stretched out the silver ingot near the edge of the racecourse, which was too late, and it was too late, and in the blink of an eye she was back on the horse.
Gradually, the eyes of outsiders were staring at Kong Sizhen.
But wherever her horse ran, not a silver ingot was pulled down.
Jian Ning could only pick up a piece when she leaned over to copy the ingots on the ground, galloped forward.
Later, Ah Yunduo, who was following behind, found that there were no ingots to pick up at all, so they simply whipped up and ran to the finish line.
I didn't pick up the ingots, so I ran faster anyway and could earn back some face.
As she passed by Sizhen, Ah Yunduo suddenly raised her hand and whipped her horse.
She pumped so hard that the phantom hissed and ran away in a frenzy.
The phantom ran around the horse farm like crazy, and Sizhen could only cling to the horse's back so as not to be jolted.
In this way, she did not forget to control the reins, lest the phantom run in the wrong direction and crash into the other people in the racecourse.
Fortunately, her riding skills are good, the phantom is still an underage pony, and the racecourse is large, so everyone just watched Sizhen shoot out like an arrow from the string, and after a while, they turned around in front of their eyes.
At first, they thought that Sizhen was playing with speed, but later they realized that they had startled the horse and screamed.
One after another, Jian Ning and the others ran the horses out of the field, and Jian Ning turned over and dismounted, calling people repeatedly, trying to stop the phantom.
Coincidentally, today is not a training day, and the master who taught them horse racing is not there, and there are only some minions leading horses in the racecourse.
Jian Ning felt flustered.
It is just a battle of will between her and Sizhen, if she hurts someone because of this, it will not be what she wants, if something happens to Sizhen, not only the emperor's brother, but also the queen mother will punish her.
After about ten laps, the speed of the phantom slowly slowed down, and Jian Ning, who had already turned over and dismounted, found a gap and tried to restrain the horse.
It's just that although the speed of the phantom has slowed down, the strength is still not small, and the Jianning people are small and light, so they can't hold the reins of the horse at all, and they are dragged by the phantom, so they become dragged by the horse.
As a result, Sizhen on horseback stretched out a hand to Jianning, and borrowed her strength to make her turn over and fall in front of her.
At this time, the minions next to them had time to rush forward one by one, stop the phantom, and save them.
Fortunately, by this time, the phantom could no longer run fast, and after being stopped, it only flicked its hooves a few times and stopped.
Although Jian Ning was not frightened, she was very angry, just now, she had already known from the discussion of the girls next to her that it was Ah Yunduo who had startled Sizhen's horse.
I thought they just didn't want Sizhen to win, just to vent their anger, how do they know that it was so bad, they actually made Sizhen startled, if it weren't for Sizhen's riding skills were very good, this time it was big, and I didn't know what would happen today!
Seeing that Sizhen and Jianning were safe and sound, the nobles all gathered around.
Sizhen's face was sweaty, and her clothes were half wet, and Jian Ning ordered someone to help her down to change her clothes, so as not to be blown cold by the wind.
Ihanna shushed around Jianning and shuddered.
Jian Ning didn't speak, raised his hand and gave Ah Yunduo who leaned over a horsewhip.
The whip fell from Ayunduo's eyes and struck her right arm.
The whip was so hard and heavy that Ah Yunduo's sleeves were suddenly torn, and a whip mark appeared on his white and tender arm, and the flesh turned out.
Ihanna exclaimed, pulled the horsewhip that Jian Ning was about to fall, and stopped her: "Jianning, don't fight anymore, if you keep fighting, you will die." ”
Jian Ning glanced at Ihana and said with a gloomy face: "I know that you don't want her to win, and I don't want to, but it's too much to use such a trick." If I want Ah Yunduo's life, I just need to whip this whip in her face, can you try that she can still stay in the palace? Ihanna, just Ah Yunduo himself, doesn't have such guts, today's incident, do you think what will happen if I tell the emperor's brother? ”
