Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 99 "Three Eagles with One Stone"
"Childe, it's really lively here!" Jasper also looked around on tiptoe.
"The people of Luoyang haven't had such a grand event for a long time, and there are naturally many more people than usual." Meng Changhui followed behind with Yi Tao.
Tao Yaoyao smeared the dark face ointment with a face towel, which was resolutely proposed before Qing Ye burned away.
"Posts." When Tao Yaoyao and the others walked closer to the arena, someone stopped them at the door.
"What's the post?" Tao Yao is puzzled, I haven't seen any posts from people here.
"You need to post to enter the infield." Co-authoring this is the same as a concert.
"This." Meng Changhui took out a red post.
"Everyone, please." When the man saw the post, he immediately let him go with a smile.
"Changhui, this post?" Tao asked after entering the door.
"Oh, this infield is closer to the arena, and they are all nobles, so you need this post to enter for safety." Meng Changhui explained with a smile.
"Then how do you have that?" Tao asked again.
"My husband has superb medical skills, so he naturally befriends the nobles of Luoyang, what is a post!" Yitao interjected. She is also very puzzled, usually Brother Meng will never ask these nobles for anything, but this time he went to ask for a post for the first time, it is really strange, is Brother Meng also interested in horse racing?
"Yi Tao, don't be rude." Meng Changhui suddenly reprimanded.
"Yes." Yi Tao pursed his mouth a little aggrieved, and usually Mr. would not yell at him.
"Peach Boy, our position is here." Meng Changhui walked to a table with Tao Yaoyao, there was already a pot of tea and some melons and fruits on the table, although the position of this table was not the best, but it was also very forward.
"Yo, isn't this Dr. Meng? Dr. Meng is also interested in horse racing? A middle-aged man in a wide cyan robe walked over and asked.
Zhang Yuan smiled when he saw it. Meng Changhui returned the salute.
"Who are these two?" That Zhang Yuanwai glanced at Tao Yaoyao, and his eyes fell on Biyu.
"This is my patient, who happens to be racing horses, so I came along to join in the fun." Meng Changhui said.
Tao Yaoyao looked at him and glanced at him with disdain.
"It's on, it's on!" I don't know who shouted, this Zhang Yuanwai also looked away and stared at the arena.
There are a total of ten horses on the field, a total of five laps, and the fastest to reach the finish line wins. The first horse to appear was a war horse with a man in armor. Could it be that Qing Siyi also participated?
Luo Changshan's jujube red horse appeared one by one, and the people around him seemed to support him and cheered constantly. The third one to appear is the king of horses, whose fur is shiny, and at first glance he is not an ordinary horse. Tao Yaoyao had been trying to see the unknown horse she had bet on, and it was not until the horse finally appeared, that Tao Yaoyao immediately took a step forward.
"Peach Boy?" Meng Changhui was taken aback.
"Oh, it's okay, just look at the unusually tall horse." Tao Yaoyao's eyes were fixed on the horse, which was very similar to the iron-hoofed horse described by Situ Zhao.
"Childe doesn't know, this horse is Seamo's iron horse, it is said that this kind of horse has a strong physique and amazing speed, but it lacks stamina and cannot travel long distances." Zhang Yuanwai explained.
"Oh? Outsiders also have opinions on such rare horses, could it be that they have seen it? Tao Yaoyao asked with a smile, but her eyes were staring at him.
"How can I have such insight, I don't want to hide it from you, this is the first time I've seen this iron-hoofed horse, but I have a business with the Western Regions at home, so I have some understanding." Although Zhang Yuanwai said it modestly, his face was full of pride.
"It's really knowledgeable, I don't know whose horse it is?" Tao Yaoyao said curiously.
"This ...... It is said that the person who brought this horse was a merchant from Seamo, and this year's Marseille is really rare, not only the king of horses, but these ten horses are the best of the horses, and there are even iron hoof horses. ......"Zhang Yuanwai obviously didn't want to say more, so he opened the topic.
Tao Xiaoyao just smiled, and in order not to reveal her identity, she didn't ask too much.
"Knock-" After a while, the gongs and drums on the field sounded, and the shirtless men beat the rhythm vigorously, and the ten horses on the field were ready, and with the sound of a heavenly gong, the ten horses rushed out like a flight.
This match did not have the closely matched and competitive scenes that people expected, and it can be said that it was a standout from start to finish. The iron-hoofed horse had been leading since galloping, and by lap three he had thrown the second-placed king by nearly a lap and was a little slower until the final lap, but even that didn't change the result and he deservedly took the lead.
"Okay—" Everyone stood up and watched the game on the field, and they didn't slow down until the end of the game, and I don't know who cheered, and then there were shouts one after another.
"I didn't expect this horse to be so strong." Tao Xiaoyao muttered to herself.
"Yes, it's fortunate that such a horse lacks stamina, otherwise-" Meng Changhui didn't say the next words, and glanced at Tao Yaoyao, and the two knew it.
Yes, if such a horse's endurance is also excellent, then the battlefield is their world, and I'm afraid that Seamus's war horse will sweep invincible.
"The race is over, horse number 10 wins!" At the end of the game, the referee pronounced the result.
Tao Yaoyao had no intention of watching the procedures at the end of the game, and the silver she had won from the bet was not as excited as she imagined at this time. Although the competition is over, people pay more attention to post-game communication, and it seems to have become a place of communication, where people talk and laugh with each other.
"Lord Luo." Tao Yaoyao was sitting in a daze, when Meng Changhui's words startled her.
"The grass people have seen adults." Tao Xiaoyao stood up and bowed her head. Fortunately, Biyu went to solve it, otherwise if she bumped into it so suddenly, I was afraid that she would find something abnormal.
"Who is this?" Luo Changshan always felt that the saluting son in front of him was a little familiar.
"My lord, this is a patient down there." Meng Changhui replied calmly.
"Oh? Dr. Meng's medical skills are afraid that there is no second in Quanluoyang. Luo Changshan said this to Tao Yaoyao, Tao Xiaoxiao also knew in his heart how Luo Changshan would put Meng Changhui in his eyes, probably knowing who saved Meng Changhui, so he was so polite.
"Lord Luo has won the award, Changhui is just a grass people, how dare he bear this name." Meng Changhui attracted Luo Changshan's attention again.
The more Luo Changshan looked at Tao Yaoyao, the more he felt like that person, and he was next to Meng Changhui, so he became even more suspicious. He had already looked at the group of people brought by Qing Siyi, and none of the people he was worried about appeared, which would see that if Tao Xiaoyao didn't figure it out, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
"Listening to this son's voice, he doesn't sound like a Luoyang person, I don't know what kind of suspicion it is, why do you want to run to Luoyang?" Luo Changshan didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, and asked directly, it was easier for him to get the answer he wanted by asking directly.
"Back to the adult, the villain has a stubborn disease on his face since he was a child, and he has seen countless doctors, and I heard that Mr. Luo of Luoyang has superb medical skills, and he said that he is in the world, so he rushed to seek medical treatment." Tao Xiaoyao replied solemnly, and there was some mourning for his life experience in his tone.
"I see." Luo Changshan was skeptical.
"Lord Luo, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Meng Changhui saw that the scene was a little embarrassed, and spoke.
"Please." Luo Changshan also directly removed the face towel of Tao Yao, although the voice was a man, but it still did not dispel the doubts in his heart.
"Your Excellency, farewell." Tao Yao also said politely.
"Your Excellency?" The entourage on the side of Luo Changshan saw Luo Changshan looking at the direction the three of them left, and asked after a long time.
"I took the opportunity to remove the man's face scarf." After Luo Changshan finished ordering, he put on a serious appearance again and went to find King Yi.
"Childe, where have you been, Jasper has been looking for a long time." Biyu found Tao Yaoyao at this time, and said breathlessly.
"I just met Luo Changshan." Tao Xiaoyao whispered in her ear.
"Ahh
"Shhhh Momo stopped her words.
Before Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume bumped into Tao Yaoyao's body.
"Ah, Childe, the slave family didn't mean it." The woman hurriedly apologized shyly, and the collision happened to knock off her face scarf.
"Is Miss in the way?" Tao Yaoyao asked with a squinting look.
"Slaves—ah!" As soon as the woman looked up, she was startled when she saw the red spots on half of Tao Yaoyao's cheeks, and she didn't say a word, she quickly ran away with her skirt, and the people around her were all shocked when they saw Tao Yaoyao's appearance.
"Is it that scary?" Tao Xiaoyao touched her face and put on the scarf again.
"Childe, you-" Meng Changhui smiled and shook his head, this woman is really unusual, other girls can't wait to be more beautiful than herself, and she not only wears men's clothes but also makes herself look like this, eh.
"Back to my lord, that kid really has a disease on his face, and he looks like a ruffian when he sees Xiaoxiao." The entourage beside Luo Changshan reported.
"Are you sure?" Luo Changshan asked again.
"My lord, it's true." The attendant smiled flatteringly.
"That'll be fine." Even so, Luo Changshan always felt that something was wrong. But come to think of it, how could this Tao Yao'er be so clever to find Meng Changhui, wouldn't that be self-defeating, and that woman was born to captivate the country and the city. He shook his head, thinking that he had been too heavy and a little overthought recently.
"My lord, things over there are ready. Just wait for the adult's orders. The attendant said again.
"King Yi is in Luoyang at the moment, and he will send a message over there, so let's postpone it for the time being." Luo Changshan pondered for a moment and ordered.
"Yes."
"How's the gambling house going?" Luo Changshan asked lightly.
"My lord is really clever, but the information of this No. 10 horse is unknown, but it is unpopular. Even if someone recognized that it was an iron-hoofed horse, it would only be said that it was brought by a merchant from Seamo, and that adults also participated in the race, so no one knew that the horse was also an adult. This time, several of our gambling houses have made a lot of money, but one kid was lucky to drop a thousand taels, but it was harmless. The attendant reported excitedly.
"Oh? Go find out who it is. Also, dispose of that horse, this matter must not be known to anyone, especially the righteous king. ”
"Yes."
This time, Marseille Luo Changshan can be described as killing three birds with one stone, one has earned enough silver, the second has earned enough fame, and the third has also raised some status in the court. He didn't care about the money that participated in the competition, but he gained a high reputation among the people by virtue of this matter, and even many of Luo Yang's talents wrote to praise him for this behavior, and he originally represented the conservative forces, and this move added some weight to this faction.
If Tao Xiaoyao knew, I was afraid that it would be associated with some modern charity, but at this time, Tao Xiaoyao met a person she thought she would never meet again.
