Chapter 20: The Racecourse Opens

Yu Yaozhi also borrowed someone from Shopkeeper Li, and publicized the horse farm in the whole town, making people eager to try it one by one.

I've heard of this gambling money, but it's the first time I've gambled on horses.

In order to get a freshness, the people came to the racecourse one after another to see the excitement.

Yu Yaozhi brought out all the horses to be raced today and began to introduce.

"Everyone, please see, this is the horse we are going to race today, this red horse is known as the fastest horse in Saibei, the breed is extremely rare, and then look at this black BMW, just look at this shiny hair..."

Xie Lanzhou watched her quietly from the side.

Sometimes, the way she does things and her mind, as well as the words she says, make Xie Lanzhou feel that she is not a person in this world.

Now that the court is in turmoil, the newly appointed prime minister is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Xie Lanzhou is helpless now.

In order to catch the series of interests behind this, we must think of a countermeasure.

As soon as Yu Yaozhi's introduction was finished, everyone was eager to try, but after all, no one had ever participated in this kind of betting, so no one dared to speak.

"Guys, since no one starts first, then I'll bet first!"

Seeing that Yu Miaozhi gave himself a look, Xie Lanzhou came over unhurriedly and took out a bag of money and put it in front of the black horse.

"I'm betting on this black horse."

When everyone saw that someone was up, they were in an uproar, pushing and shoving for a while, and it was very hot.

Seeing that the plan succeeded, Xie Lanzhou retreated to the side.

It turned out that the two had already figured out the countermeasures that no one bet on, so it would be good to be a budding bird to help the atmosphere.

At this moment, a man approached.

I saw him wearing a green gauze horn turban, and two white jade rings with beaded sideburns on the back of his head. Wearing a single-collar green Luo Tuanhua robe, and a double-tailed turtle back silver belt tied around his waist.

Wear a pair of soap boots with a melon head and hold a folding paper Xichuan fan in your hand.

Nearly seven feet tall, thin, wearing a purple robe embroidered with green stripes, and a glossy silk cream placket on the back.

At first glance, I knew that it was not an ordinary person.

"Dare to ask Childe, but the surname is Xie?"

Xie Lanzhou took a look at it fiercely, and originally thought that he was recognized by the killer, but the next second he was instantly relieved, it turned out to be you!

"Brother Huo! It's been a long time, how did you get here? ”

This person is the first military general in the DPRK, Huo Zhao, and has been friends with Xie Lanzhou since childhood.

It's just that he is stationed in the northwest all the year round, and he doesn't come back often, because of the perennial war, he likes to wear all the things he thinks are good on his body when he comes back.

It's like making up for the regrets of being away all year round.

"Isn't this a special trip to find you! Since I heard that you had disappeared for several days for no reason during that autumn hunt, and there has been no news of you until now, I rushed back after receiving the letter. ”

"Then how did you know I was here?"

Xie Lanzhou's whereabouts were originally known only to the former black-clothed guards, but since he knew that there were spies inside, he cut off contact with him.

Now it's time for me to be alone.

"I don't know what Huo Zhao has, besides, don't look at me and I don't go back to this small capital very much, I have a lot of contacts!"

The Huo family has been praised by generations of people since ancient times, and the three generations of the family are all important ministers in the court, and Huo Zhao's ancestors have all died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country.

Because of this, the royal family is extremely jealous of the Huo family, and no matter what happens, they have to leave him a thin face, so they can stabilize people's hearts.

"Then do you know how the court is now, and what about the first emperor and my mother?"

Xie Lanzhou is most at ease with the queen mother, she doesn't like to go out in the deep palace all the year round, and the only pleasure is the coconut crisp she brought to her when she went to see her.

"Now the court is not optimistic, I have secretly investigated, it was the Yu family who put you to death when you were hunting in the autumn, as for who you are trading with behind the scenes, I don't know."

Somehow, Xie Lanzhou's first reaction was whether this person would be Xie Wushuang.

I remember that once above the court, due to the abdication of the old prime minister, this position was vacant.

And Xie Wushuang recommended Yu Shen to himself, at that time, he still thought that this was obviously a tainted petty official, why did he recommend him.

And now the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

"There are also the emperor and your mother, who are already old, and the news of your disappearance has hit them very hard, and they have been bedridden for several days, and now they are still sending people to look for you."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Wushuang's heart instantly tightened.

Less than a year after my father passed on the throne to him, something like this happened, really...

"But your brother Xie Wushuang has been very diligent these days."

"What do you mean by that?"

"He now goes to take care of your father and queen mother every day, and it is not wrong to do this as a prince, but the number of times he runs makes me feel bad."

Xie Wushuang only goes to his father to offer his courtesy except when he asks for money on weekdays, what is wrong now? Could it be that the autumn hunt really has something to do with him?

Xie Lanzhou felt like his head was about to explode.

"But it's a blessing, your father and queen mother were seriously ill, and now they have recovered, so you don't have to worry too much."

These words reassured Xie Lanzhou.

I must tell my father and queen mother about the Fang family back then, ask for a thorough investigation, and the mastermind behind the autumn hunt, these must be investigated one by one.

"Hey, this game is about to start, let's take a look!"

Huo Zhao was deeply attracted by this enthusiastic horse race, he already liked the vastness of the northwest region and the scorching grassland sunshine.

I didn't expect to see fast horses galloping in this city, and I couldn't help but feel novel.

With a loud bang, several horses galloped out, and the yellow sand raised on the ground seemed to be really like being on the battlefield, giving people the illusion of being on the frontier.

Originally, several horses marched in unison, but then the red horse rushed to the front, and the black horse followed at the end, driving a considerable distance from the horse in front.

"It seems that the dark horse can't do it, hey, it's a mistake!"

"Fortunately, the red horse I bet on hahaha, the opportunity to make a fortune has come!"

"I'm betting on the red horse too!"

Several spectators were talking on the sidelines, as if they had seen through the ending.

The corners of Huo Zhao's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at Xie Lanzhou beside him.

"Brother Xie, in your opinion, which horse will win this time?"

Xie Lanzhou listened and looked at the field.

"Now that this scene can basically be determined, the red horse will win, and it has thrown away a lot of other horses, isn't it obvious?"

But Huo Zhao shook his head when he heard this.

"With your brother Huo and my years of experience in battle, this should be the dark horse winning."

"How is that possible?"

"How could it not be? Until the end, everyone can win, how can you decide whether you win or lose based on the beginning. ”

At this moment, a few miles away from the finish line, the crowd on the sidelines cheered and jumped for joy, and the horses were about to enter the sprint.

I saw that the black horse rode into the dust, surpassing from the very last place to the front one by one, and marched head to head with the red horse that bore the brunt of the attack.
