"Horse racing?" Zhao Ta put down his wine glass and looked at him and said, "This king's equestrian skills are commonplace, I'm afraid I can't compete with Prince Duan." ”

Duan Yichang said with a smile: "Now that Qingfeng is in the hands of the prince, my peach is far inferior, but I am afraid that if it really starts, Yi Chang can only be reduced to a foil." ”

Zhao Ta said: "It's okay to have fun in horse racing, but this king mentions a lottery, and if he loses, he will be fined three glasses of wine after he comes back, and he can't find a reason to repay the debt, what do you think?" ”

Duan Yichang was stunned when he heard this, originally he wanted to take this opportunity to put forward the lottery, and the loser had to promise the winner a small thing, but he didn't expect Zhao Ta to say it first, it was actually such a trivial matter as punishing wine, and he was immediately aggrieved in his heart, but because of etiquette, it was not good to refute it, so he only said: "Listen to the prince." ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "Then it's decided." ”

Duan Yichang was irritable at this time, thinking that since he couldn't plan in Caitou, he would press this Qi King on top of the horse race, and it would be good to sulk.

Horse racing is not about running randomly, you must first agree on a distance, you can win or lose in a straight line, or you can compare back and forth.

Because it was in the suburbs at the moment, the straight line was meaningless, and the two decided that the first to arrive round trip would be the winner.

Zhao Ta ordered his entourage to estimate the distance of about five miles forward, and then set up a spear over there to count it as the end, and the two entourages supervised, Zhao Ta and the two arrived at the spear and then returned, and the one who came back to the camp first was considered to win.

The rules are simple, as for the accidents encountered on the road, such as cars and horses passing by, pedestrians or wild beasts, these are all considered normal obstacles, and test the ability to reflex the horseman.

After everything was arranged, Duan Yichang glanced at the pink horse, this horse's speed was slightly inferior to Qingfeng's, and his endurance was slightly inferior, but the distance back and forth was only ten miles away, and he couldn't talk about any endurance or stamina, so that considering Zhao Ta's riding skills, Duan Yichang thought that he was already invincible.

Even if he wants to surpass Zhao Ta, it all depends on his own thoughts, and this time he doesn't want to save any face for Zhao Ta.

The opportunity to hunt the lottery head has been lost, and Zhao Ta said that the archery is not good, and he has avoided it lightly, and now the horse is just about to put forward the lottery head, but it was replaced by the other party with a penalty wine first, and he is really annoyed in his heart.

Everything was ready, the two horses stood side by side, Duan Yichang saluted on the horse: "Please be careful, otherwise Yi Chang will not be able to afford to eat." ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "How can you anger others if you are injured in a horse race, Prince Duan is too underestimated by my big Song mind." ”

Duan Yichang apologized: "But Yi Chang thought about it a lot. He had pondered this section before, Zhao Ta's equestrian skills were average, although it was said that horse racing was not as good as fighting, and the possibility of accidents was extremely small, but it was not extremely safe, if something really happened, it would be worth the loss if it involved his own family.

According to his temperament, he probably won't do risky things, but today he really didn't breathe, he was going to suffocate to death, so he wanted to press Zhao Ta on the race.

Both sides were ready, and Lei San shouted from the side: "Let's go!" ”

Qingfeng and Taohong jumped out directly, this Qingfeng horse Zhao Ta rode all the way from Tokyo City, and had a rough idea of the temperament, it was a slow and slow goods, it was better to say that he was docile than lazy, but Dali Ma Duo was like this, it was not surprising.

But running hard at the moment, Zhao Ta instantly felt that it was not a little bit worse than a light walking alone for a thousand miles, but a light for a thousand miles alone was a famous horse, and it was normal for this Qingfeng to be incomparable.

The two horses drove side by side, and they didn't open up the distance, Zhao Ta knew that these two horses were actually not too similar, and they could be compared with ordinary Qingtang war horses in terms of speed, but according to Duan Yichang, these were the two best horses in Caiyun horses, and the others were naturally inferior, and it was estimated that when there were really no horses available, they could barely give it a try.

The two ran for more than a mile, and Duan Yichang suddenly urged Taohong hard, but this is equestrianism, probably through action and stimulation, to stimulate the potential of the horse.

I saw that Taohong's speed suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, it surpassed Qingfeng's half an arrow, but Zhao Ta only squinted and smiled slightly when he saw this.

After galloping for another two miles, Duan Yichang looked back and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see the Qingfeng horse falling tightly behind, and did not pull down far.

He wondered in his heart, secretly gritted his teeth, and exerted his strength again, and the spear target could be seen in front of him, but he did not slow down, and waited until the pink horse ran to the spear, and then put his hand on the horse's mane, and leaned against the horse's back, and pulled the reins hard.

I only heard a long neighing of the pink horse, and the whole horse stood up, with two front legs hanging in the air, holding a dangerous scene.

Duan Yi leaned on the horse's back, as if he was growing on it, pulled the horse's reins diagonally, and slammed the stirrups with both feet, and the pink turned and fell, running back almost without pulling back.

Zhao Ta also approached for a while, but he was not as brave and fancy as Duan Yichang, and the Qingfeng horse slowed down and turned around normally, and also ran back.

After a mile of the peach horse return, Duan Yichang secretly looked back, and couldn't help but be surprised, how could this Qingfeng catch up?

He was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, he just used all his skills to speed up the horse's progress.

Halfway through the journey, Duan Yichang suddenly heard that the voice was wrong, and peeked again, and at a glance, the hairs on his back almost stood upright.

I saw that the Qingfeng horse was close at hand!

He was suddenly discolored, even if he didn't see any special skills and moves made by Zhao Tan, just riding a horse as normal, but the speed of Qing Feng was much faster than he knew.

After a few breaths, the two horses actually ran side by side, only to hear Zhao Ta smile and say: "Prince Duan, this Qingfeng horse is really stronger than your peach, you give this best Caiyun horse to this king, this horse is afraid that it is not intended to let this king win, but it is more gracious!" ”

Duan Yichang was so angry that he almost fell off the horse when he heard this, Qingfeng Horse is only stronger than Peach in endurance and temperament, there is no need to mention it, but in terms of endurance, there is nothing to see in the ten-mile journey, and the foot strength of the two horses should be comparable!

No, it's not quite, he uses exquisite equestrianism, and Peach should surpass Qing Feng, isn't it that this King Qi has higher equestrian skills, and he has been pretending to be stupid and coaxing him?

Duan Yichang looked at Zhao Ta on the Qingfeng horse in front of him, but he didn't look like he was proficient in equestrianism, Zhao Ta didn't have many movements on the horse, and the Qingfeng horse ran fast, as if there was a big worm chasing after him, which was really strange!

Zhao Ta was smiling secretly in front of him at the moment, when it came to equestrianism, he estimated that his family might not be as good as Zhehanmei, but how could a prince like Duan Yichang be able to match him?

After all, Zhe Hanmei grew up in the Little Western Army, and she usually has more contact with all kinds of war horses, and she even practices equestrianism more than when she practices martial arts.

And what is Dali? There are not many real war horses in itself, and there have been only a handful of wars over the years, and most of them are small-scale battles of infantry to counterbalance the rebellion.

The equestrian skills of the Great Song Dynasty were summed up in the battlefield, and for more than 100 years, they had wars with Liao, Western Xia, Tibet, and Yiyue, and there were all kinds of rebellions in the country, which were all riding experience found on the battlefield.

is to casually drag out an ordinary cavalry of the Western Army, which is not comparable to Duan Yichang.

After arriving at the camp, there was no trace of peach, Zhao Ta dismounted and drank a cup of tea, and Duan Yichang rode back.

Zhao Ta looked at him and said with a smile: "Although this king won the horse race, the prince still has to drink this punishment." ”

Duan Yichang's face was like ashes at this moment, and he reluctantly said: "Yi Chang lost, and he is willing to punish three glasses of wine." ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine jug on the table and poured three glasses of wine in a row, and the wine entered his stomach, but it was extremely bitter.

Seeing this, Zhao Tan said: "Come and don't be rude, since this king has won the horse race, why don't you feast the prince in a few days?" ”

Duan Yichang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and a glimmer of light suddenly rose in his heart, this King of Qi actually wanted to entertain him, wouldn't this be an opportunity again?
