Chapter 172: It's All Spies
The final result of this horse race was: Xu Tianjiao was the champion, Tang Dalong was the runner-up, and the Mongolian knight Hada was the third runner-up.
Each was rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, eight hundred taels and five hundred taels of silver.
Yashi and Takeno-kun stared at them.
Xu Tianjiao was very happy to get the reward, of course, it wasn't that she cared about this bit of silver, but that it represented an honor.
They had received the bounty and were just about to get off the podium, when a man came up and said, "Three, please stay." ”
Tang Dalong saw that this person was tall, like a soldier, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Please don't get me wrong, my name is Zamusu, I am a Mongolian soldier, I think the three of them are quite good at riding, I don't know if you are willing to join the army and serve us."
"I will," said Hada, "to be a soldier." ”
"That's great, wait a minute, you can just come with me," Zamusu said and asked Tang Dalong and Xu Tianjiao, "I don't know what the two of you think?" ”
"Thank you for your kindness, we are not from here, we still have something to do, and we are in a hurry to go back, so we can't join the army here." Tang Dalong said.
"That's a pity, but everyone has their own ambitions, so if that's the case, let's do it." Zamusu said as he flashed to the side and let them out.
"Sister, you're amazing." Li Sijie hugged Xu Tianjiao all of a sudden and said happily.
"These are just small insect carving skills, and they are nothing." Xu Tianjiao glanced at Li Sizhe and said.
"You look quite quiet, but I didn't expect it to be hidden." Li Sizhe also praised.
"Your brother and sister don't praise me anymore, no matter how much you praise, I won't be able to find the north." Xu Tianjiao said with a smile.
Tang Dalong and Xu Tianjiao and their group of five returned to the inn.
At night.
"Tonight, Brother Tang and I have a treat, and you let go of eating." Xu Tianjiao said.
Zhen Sifei was not polite, ordered a table of dishes, and served a few pots of good wine.
"Wait until tomorrow morning, when we have all the horses in our hands, and we can go straight back to the barracks." Li Sizhe said.
"What happened in the past two days always gave me a hunch that things might not go as smoothly as we thought." Xu Tianjiao said.
"Sister, are you thinking too much?" Li Sijie said.
"Think about it, is it normal for there to be people from the Mongolian military but also the Japanese military on this racecourse? My gut tells me if they're doing some kind of conspiracy? Xu Tianjiao asked.
"I think what Tianjiao said is not unreasonable, that Yashi and Takeno-kun dared to openly poison us, this must be instigated by someone, they must have a backstage, otherwise, they wouldn't dare." Tang Dalong said.
So why are they doing this? Have they recognized you? The last time I went to see the spring exercises, you didn't go either. Zhen Sifei said.
"I don't rule out this possibility, although Takeno hasn't seen Brother Tang, but someone has seen it." Xu Tianjiao said.
"Who? Who are you referring to? ”
"First of all, that Kawamoto Shaoza, he often goes to you, and he knows the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander you have there; Secondly, after you arrived in Chengde, you went to Sun's pawnshop, didn't the owner of the pawnshop also see you? Again, there is this horse seller, and I feel that these people may have ties to the Japanese military. Xu Tianjiao said.
"No, are they all spies?" Zhen Sifei asked.
