Chapter 245

The edge of the vacated large grassland is surrounded by a fence, which is the track, Xu Chen stood on the gentle slope and looked down, and at a glance, he calculated that he had run a third.

More than ten horses have gradually divided into two groups according to their strength, and there are three horses in the front and three horses in the front. According to the clothing of the knights on the horses, it can be roughly distinguished, and the first three horsemen belong to the royal court, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Han army.

In particular, the horse under the knight of the Western Jin Dynasty was snow-white, with strong and powerful hooves, and when he ran at full speed, he brought out a white afterimage, as if it was a storm and snowstorm.

Xu Chen is different from most soldiers, he has never been a horse lover, but he understands horses very well, because of the same loneliness, he naturally knows horses, he looked at the snow-white horse, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of praise: "This horse is good, if it is equipped with a good rider, it is probably only worse than that fool." ”

When he said this, his right hand was still holding the oily leg of mutton, and his appearance couldn't help but look a little funny.

Yaxiu was holding a knife that she had just bought from a herdsman, and was trying to cut off a perfect piece of meat in front of the leg of mutton. ”

The big black mentioned by the little girl indignantly is naturally a dark horse.

In order to facilitate the nobles to watch the race, the grassland that was circled out for horse racing was specially set up in front of the royal tent. A group of nobles stood in front of the tent and watched the tense horse race, smiling and discussing.

In the corner of the gorgeous royal tent, Princess Khan looked at the quiet girl beside her, and said with a smile: "Princess, it seems that this horse will not disgrace you." ”

At this time, the snow-white horse that took the lead in the wilderness was the mount given to the girl by the princess of the Khan last night, and today it was ridden by a cavalryman of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the performance was really extraordinary.

The girl smiled slightly and responded, "Thank you for the princess's generous gift." ”

The princess looked at the girl's elegant face, thinking about her story, and her smile became more and more gentle: "If it is an unsightly mortal horse, how can you be worthy of you, a princess who is not in the turbid world?"

The girl looked at the snow-white horses galloping on the field, and she was also a little happy in her heart, and thought that the person didn't like to describe it the most, and after thinking for a while, she whispered: "It's called Mengmeng." ”

In the middle of the fierce horse race, more than ten horses carried smoke and dust to run about a third of the distance, and in front of the yellow horse ridden by the royal court knight and the jade spotted spot ridden by the Chaoyang army, there was a snow-white steed that firmly occupied the first place.

Judging by the gentle nodding frequency and steady pace of the snowy horse, it should have some room to spare, and it seems that if the race continues like this, it will undoubtedly be the first to cross the finish line.

However, at this moment, a shout full of surprise and shock sounded from the beginning of the track, and countless people exclaimed in surprise, not knowing what they saw.

Xu Chen and Yaxiu looked over there when they heard the sound, and saw a horse with a pure black body rushing onto the track, chasing after the horses in front of them at a terrifying speed like an arrow from a string.

Horse racing has already begun, and no one knows where the black horse came from, there is no one on the horse, no one knows why it is running on the track.

Xu Chen looked at the black horse, his lips slightly open, but he didn't know what to say at all.

Yaxiu rubbed her eyes with the back of her fingers and said curiously, "This horse seems to have been seen somewhere." ”

The black horse, I don't know if it was stimulated by these similar races in the grassland, rushed to the track, there was no jockey whip and kick the belly, but it also ran faster and faster, the strong and powerful four hooves on the slightly hard ground quickly pedaled, kicking up a black flower, and the body gradually dragged out a black shadow!

The onlookers looked at this terrifying black horse, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded and shocked, thinking that there was a horse in the world that ran so fast, and in the dense black crowd, with the sound of the black horse's hooves, it was like a wave of exclamation.

The people who participated in the conference knew some riding skills. There is no knight on horseback, although the weight will be lighter, but without the command of the knight, the horse itself does not know how to distribute physical strength at all, and the final sprint lacks pain stimulation, so although people are shocked by the speed of the black horse, they still do not think that it is possible to catch up with the horses in front, not to mention the horses in front of them, who have already completed a long distance.

It is based on this idea that people along the way are still amazed and admired the amazing speed of the dark horses that suddenly come out, but those who are about the winners and losers of horse racing have turned their eyes back to the front.

The venue prepared by the royal court for this horse race is very large, since the road is remote, because of the difference in strength, the distance between the horses is also getting wider and wider, and the two horses of the royal court and the Han army are still struggling to catch up with the white horse in front, but it is obvious that it is impossible to catch up at all.

For this matter, the Chaoyang Empire made a special trip from the military department to send a general to take charge of this matter, at this time, the general who came from afar, stood in front of the king's tent, looked at the situation of horse racing in the wilderness, and listened to the conversation between the Lord of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Khan, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"The elite of the iron cavalry swept the world, relying on battlefield skills, and it was not who ran fast was considered powerful. ”

The general thought so in his heart, but seeing that the horses of the Han army were hopeless to win, and even being thrown farther and farther away by the white horse, thinking that the white horse was a gift from the royal court to the Western Jin Dynasty, where could he be willing.

When the spirits of these great men in front of the king's tent were all concentrated on the three horses in front, the exclamations and cheers of the field came from a distance like real waves, and the waves came closer and closer.

The Khan and the guests of the Western Jin Dynasty, who were talking enthusiastically, were slightly stunned, raised their eyes and looked into the distance, wondering what was going on over there, General Shu was no exception, and his brows gradually frowned, they had heard the exclamations and cheers before, but they did not think that it was related to this horse race.

When it swept in front of people like a gust of wind, people had time to exclaim, and the wave-like exclamation spread faster and faster, which means that it is now running faster and faster, and it is about to approach the horses in front!

The initial idea is not wrong, horses without owners do not know how to distribute physical strength in long-distance races, but the reason for overturning people's judgment is very simple, because the black horse does not need to allocate physical strength at all, and the strong body seems to contain endless strength, so why bother?

Under the heath sun, the black horse's skin was extremely dark and exuded a charming luster, and as it ran wildly, its muscles tensed and relaxed at high speed, as if it were trembling, and the terrifying speed made the hoof shadow under it so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye, and it easily overtook the horse that fell last.

You must know that the horse in front of it has already run a third of the way in advance, and the dark horse has only sneaked up on the track from the starting hurdle, but now before the finish line, it actually caught up, this speed really made everyone can't believe their eyes!

The black horse continued to sprint frantically, overtaking the second horse, the third horse, without any stagnation, without any hesitation, it did not see these kinders at all in its reddish eyes, only knew to keep overtaking, and then forward!

The people who participated in the conference in the field were shocked by the scene in front of them and could not speak, so they could only subconsciously stretch out their hands to hold their heads and let out an overstimulated exclamation. Some herders even began to wonder if this black horse was the legendary Pegasus, otherwise how could it run so fast!

No one knew where this dark horse came from or who it belonged to, but they were all deeply shocked by the strength and speed it showed at this time, especially when they watched it surpass it again and again with its indomitable momentum, everyone's blood was burned by this black shadow, and they began to cheer for it crazily!

The dark horses surpassed one after another.

Just when everyone in the field, even the big people in front of the king's tent, were shocked and speechless, the black horse continued to shake the field non-stop, and it unstoppably chased behind the snow-white horse of the Western Jin Dynasty!

The speed of the white horse is amazing, like a silver dragon, and the black horse is like a violent black sand wind, wanting to annihilate the silver dragon in front of it!

In the corner of the royal tent, the Khan princess could not hide her shock, stretched out her hand to cover her lips, in order to choose a gift for the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, the royal tribe picked for a long time, only to pick out such a snow-white horse without the slightest variegation, and the divine horse was abnormal, but I didn't expect to be challenged at this time.

The princess of the Moon Wheel Kingdom, who had been sitting quietly in place, looking at the pot of snow lotus beside her, was attracted by the restlessness outside and the princess's expression, turned her head to look at the wilderness, and raised her thin eyebrows slightly.

The knight of the Western Jin Dynasty on the back of the white horse listened to the sound of hooves behind him becoming more and more clear, and with years of experience, he knew that he was being chased by his opponent, he looked back and was startled by the huge black horse's head.

Because the eyes of this strange black horse are so strange, the bright eyes are full of crazy and irritable emotions, and there are a few bloodshots, it looks as if it wants to bite itself to death. In fact, the black horse really grinned at this time, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and bit hard at the air like crazy!

After all, the speed was too fast, and the black horse failed to bite the white horse's tail swinging in the air, it stared at the white horse's hips hatefully, and the speed of the four hooves on the ground was actually a little faster, instantly exceeding the white horse's buttocks.

The onlookers in the field let out an earth-shattering cheer.

The knight of the Western Jin Dynasty on the white horse looked shocked, his body arched forward, and the right hand holding the horse whip became tighter and tighter, he knew that the white horse under him was a gift from the royal court to the noble girl, and it was already a great honor for him to be able to ride on his behalf, if he lost today, the end would be very bleak.

Since the start of the race, the whip held by the knight of the Western Jin Dynasty has only been waved twice in the air, and not once it has fallen on the body of the white horse, because he does not have the courage to leave blood marks on the noble lady's mount, but the current situation is so tense, this black horse that came out of nowhere seems to really exceed his own ability, he turned his heart sideways, and he was ready to whip the whip to the horse's buttocks.

At this moment, no one could have imagined that after the big white horse found the black horse beside him, it seemed to have received some kind of great stimulation, and he didn't need to whip the knight on his body at all, and suddenly began to speed up!

It was only then that the people in the wilderness realized that the snow-white horse had not been able to exert its full speed, so it had been so graceful and stable before, and it was stimulated by the black horse at this time.
