Chapter 21: Blessing and Misfortune (I)
On the day of the horse race, the sun was shining, and the brilliant sunlight seemed to melt the earth, unreleasing their enthusiasm without reservation, and even the skin exposed to the air could feel a stinging burning sensation. As hot as the weather was the contestants, who were ready to go, enthusiastically waiting for the fateful moment.
Because the winner of this horse race will not only get the priceless golden saddle, but also be more likely to be favored by the dignitaries and nobles who know the heroes, and from then on they will be added to the rank and become a knight. Therefore, the people in the arena smelled of gunpowder, and even the horses felt the tension of the atmosphere, and from time to time let out a low neighing sound.
However, there were also two people who seemed incompatible with this hot atmosphere - An Youran and Luo Han were curled up in the corner of the ranch with heavy dark circles under their eyes, like two lazy pandas, exuding gloomy low pressure.
"Third place, third place......" Luo Han muttered to himself, staring blankly into the distance.
An Youran finally jumped up from the ground unbearably, grabbed Luo Han's collar, and shouted, "It's over!?" You've been thinking about it all morning! I'm about to jump off the building because of you! ”
While shaking Luo Han vigorously, he shouted with surging emotions: "You cheer me up!" Isn't it just within three people! You have to have faith in yourself, and take the first place to show the cold-blooded son! You can do it, I believe in your strength! ”
Although he was dizzy and uncomfortable by the shaking, but infected by An Youran's extremely passionate encouragement, Luo Han lifted his spirits and responded loudly: "Yes! To hell with Li Yan! Let him see Uncle Ben's strength today! What within three people! Luo Ye, I have to be a champion today! Dare to threaten me with the old man, what a despicable villain! ”
"That's right! Right! An leisurely held his hands tightly and said firmly: "We have to work hard, we can't lose to that obscene villain!" You can do it! With the results of a night of special training for the two of us, it will definitely make his wishful thinking come to naught! ”
"Okay, I'll see." Shizi's cold voice interrupted the affectionate look between the two of them.
An turned around suddenly, and was about to give him a confident declaration of battle, but the moment he saw him, he stood in place, speechless.
Li Yan was dressed in a silver-white gold embroidered uniform, and the fitting cut outlined his proud figure. The three thousand green silks were neatly tied up in a bunch, and hung down softly on the neck and shoulders, revealing a stunning and perfect face. The fair skin is delicate and smooth, the bridge of the nose is like a carving, the sexy thin lips seem to be smiling and not smiling, and the pair of amber contact lenses that are enough to make everyone sink deep stared at An Youran uprightly, making him look crazy for a while.
"Xiao An, Xiao An!" Luo Han on the side poked An Youran, who had entered a rigid state, with his fingers, and saw that he had no reaction, so he had to pinch his ears and shout at the throat: "What's wrong with you!" What's the fuss!? ”
"Yikes! ——" was shocked by Luo Han's earth-shattering shout, An Youran suddenly came back to his senses, saw the prince looking at him with a strange face, couldn't help blushing slightly, and shouted without losing the fight: "Master! Luo Han and I will definitely perform well today, just keep your eyes open and watch us raise our eyebrows! ”
"That's right! Li Yan, I'll show you my real skills today, otherwise you really don't know how good I am! Luo Han also roared with great momentum, but as soon as the words came out, he seemed to remember something, and the words changed, his tone was gentle, and he cautiously confirmed: "If I were within the three, you wouldn't have written to Master to inform him of everything that happened, right?" ”
"Didn't you just say that you were going to take the 'champion'? Why did you change your mind after a while, and it became less than three? The prince said teasingly.
Angered by Luo Han's spineless performance, An leisurely opened his teeth and claws, "Do you want to make me angry to death!?" Even if you die, you will die vigorously, and you are not allowed to show weakness and submit to softness! ”
"You don't understand, the old man's punishment is worse than death, I don't want to be called back by him!" Luo Han shuddered as he spoke, "The old man's tricks are not a joke!" ”
Seeing Luo Han's frightened appearance, An Youran asked with some sympathy: "Is it really that terrible?" ”
"Why is it so scary!? It's horrific! Without getting confirmation from Shizi, Luo Han asked Shizi who was about to leave uneasily: "If I did it, you wouldn't tell Master, would you?" ”
"How have I broken my word?" The prince was too lazy to talk to him, so he got on his mount and ran around the paddock.
The golden sunlight swayed on him, gilding his whole body with a dazzling light. The back of the prince on horseback is extremely straight, showing a beautiful body line just right. Every gesture exudes a noble and elegant atmosphere, as if he is the proud lord of the world, and the military uniform is even more heroic.
So as soon as the figure of the prince appeared in the paddock, it immediately caused all the ladies to scream again and again. An Youran saw that the corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but say: "Sooner or later, someone has to accept this demon, otherwise he will provoke a lot of romantic debts!" ”
"Don't worry about it," Luo Han also jumped on his horse, "There are many people who want to take him, so isn't there just one?" ”
Looking in the direction of his finger, there was indeed a girl dressed in a rose-red carved silk butterfly riding costume who was riding a red horse towards the prince. I saw her smiling eyebrows and all kinds of amorous feelings, who is Liu Wanxuan?
"Brother Shizi," Liu Wanxuan said shyly as soon as she saw Shizi: "You look so good in this dress today, just like the person in the painting." ”
Shizi squinted at her, but did not answer, and wanted to leave as soon as the reins were pulled, but Liu Wanxuan stopped in front of his horse as if he had expected it. said with a smile: "Brother Shizi, I will also participate in the competition today, and I will ask you to give in a lot!" ”
"Xuan'er, don't mess around, go back to me" Liu Yuxin, the little marquis, appeared beside them at some point, and interjected: "This competition is all the children of the family and the generals in the army, what kind of excitement are you girls all about!" ”
was refuted by Liu Yuxin in front of the world, Liu Wanxuan suddenly felt that she had lost face, and the young lady's temper surged up, and she shouted nonsense: "I don't, I want to participate!" What children of the family, the soldiers in the army, are all lies! The delicate little hand pointed to An Youran in the distance, "Didn't he also participate!?" Why can even a minion participate, and I can't!? ”
Liu Yuxin wanted to end this meaningless argument as soon as possible, and Zhengse said: "There is a limit to the number of people in the competition, and it cannot exceed forty people!" Bajie is the last name to report, and now the number of participants is not much, not less than forty, so even if you want to participate, you can't participate! ”
"That's easy!" Liu Wanxuan clamped her legs and rode her horse to An Youran, "I can't participate in the competition if I abolish this minion!" Then the top will be done! ”
"Xuan'er!" When Liu Yuxin heard this, he just wanted to stop it, but suddenly felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the prince had already moved before him, chasing after Liu Wanxuan, who was galloping wildly.
"Bajie, get out of the way!" Shizi shouted anxiously. An Youran immediately understood that the situation was not right, and just wanted to act according to his words, but Liu Wanxuan's speed was too fast, and when he looked up, he saw her appear in front of him, and he was about to pull down the whip with a whip in his hand.
