When several young men from aristocratic families heard Dabao's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all screamed.
For a son of a second-generation family like them, five taels of silver? Even if it fell to the ground, it would probably be too lazy to bend down.
"Then bet ten taels!" Wen Dabao's face turned red.
"Go away, the four of us put together, each of us bet five hundred taels with you, the total is two thousand taels. I believe Mr. Wen still has this little money in his little treasury, right?"
"Two...two thousand taels?!" When Wen Dabao heard this, he felt a little bad.
…
The horse racing hunt was still going on in an tense and orderly manner, without any accidents. One after another, names appeared on the manifest stone at the end.
This also means that at least half of the people have passed the second recording stone.
But there was still no trace of Fang Zhengzhi's name, as if he had completely disappeared.
Wen Dabao's eyes were fixed on the manifest stone in front of him, and he was mumbling something, as if begging for some miracle to happen.
The four young men from aristocratic families standing next to him smiled with relaxed expressions.
Not to mention that Fang Zhengzheng was riding a local racing horse. Even if he was given a horse, judging from the current competition situation, it would probably be too late.
Some of the ministers sitting below the Holy Master Lin Mubai were also looking at the names on the manifest stone, and all of them smiled slightly.
No one paid attention to Fang Zhengsui anymore.
Because there is no need to pay attention anymore.
Not long after...
The first name also appears on the third recording stone.
Skyward Eagle.
There was no surprise, and the words Tang Zhongming appeared immediately.
After a while, Ping Yang's name also appeared on it, followed by Zhang Feiyu and Ninth Prince Lin Yun.
Everything was exactly the same as what was recorded on the second recording stone.
"It seems that the top three in this game should be selected from these five people."
"Xiang Tianying has taken advantage of him. He is ranked seventh on the Shenglong list. Coupled with the Xiang family's natural geographical location, he is indeed powerful in equestrian skills."
"That's true. The Xiang family guards the 'Tianxing Grassland' for the Great Xia Dynasty. It is a real grassland. Xiang Tianying grew up there. In terms of riding skills alone, it is indeed unmatched by anyone."
"Princess Pingyang is not bad either." A minister praised while looking at the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
When the Holy Master Lin Mubai heard the minister's praise, his expression showed a hint of relief: "This child Pingyang is still a little too noisy. In my opinion, she was able to suppress Zhang Feiyu, probably because she used some tricks."
"Your Majesty, I don't quite agree with what I'm saying. Pingyang's equestrian skills have always been among the best in Yanjing City. In addition, Yu Zhongyu is a peerless horse. Besides, there will always be some friction in this horse racing hunt." Zuo Xiangyu Yiping stood up at this time, with an indignant expression.
"Yu Xiang, please don't speak for this kid Pingyang anymore." When the Holy Master Lin Mubai heard this, there was a trace of blame on his face, but the smile at the corner of his mouth appeared unconsciously.
"In my opinion, Pingyang has a bit of your Majesty's style back then. Women among women are really unattractive to men!" When another minister heard this, he also stood up immediately.
"Of course. A tiger father has no dog daughter." When the ministers heard this, they all agreed.
The Holy Lord Lin Mubai did not speak any more, but everyone could see that the Holy Lord Lin Mubai was in a very good mood at the moment.
Above the court, disputes were brewing.
As a king of one dynasty, he has a lot to worry about on a daily basis.
Going out to watch horse racing and hunting today can be regarded as a break in the busy life. So, it is for any king to enjoy the love between father and daughter. They are all extremely cherished.
How could the sage Lin Mubai be unhappy to hear the ministers' praise for Pingyang
…
In the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs, a young man is standing next to the fourth record stone. Wearing a blue gown, it swayed gently in the breeze.
In his hand, he also held a green animal head.
If it weren't for the fact that the khaki horse he rode off was a bit too shabby, this scene would have looked like someone standing proudly and elegantly.
Fang Zhengzheng's eyes kept looking at the record stone.
The record tablet in front of me is made of a black stone material and is square and square. It's five meters high and about two meters wide. It looks very grand.
"What a big monument!" Fang Zhengzheng sighed.
Then, he dismounted and walked to the record stone. He stretched out his hand and touched the stone. The material was a bit hard and felt cold to the touch.
After touching it for a while.
Fangzheng squatted down and tried to hug the monument.
Soon, he discovered that the stele was heavier than he had imagined, and it was as if there were roots under the stele. No matter how hard he tried, it would not move at all.
"It's over!" Fang Zhengzheng curled his lips. He guessed the process correctly, but not the result.
His idea is actually very simple.
There are two ways. One is to kill all the ferocious beasts around without leaving any behind. However, this idea was later rejected by him.
The reason is that it is too cruel.
Of course, this was the excuse Fang Zhengzheng gave himself. The real reasons were too many.
And it's spread too widely.
Don't talk about whether you have the ability to kill nearly a thousand ferocious beasts in one go. Even if you do, catching up with these ferocious beasts running wildly is definitely not an easy task.
Killing one might be okay.
But I have to kill a thousand.
I'm afraid it's not even possible to kill him for a month.
Do you have a month
No.
Then, we can only implement the second plan.
I have tampered with this record stone, but now it seems that this matter is not as simple as I imagined.
Break it into pieces
This is obviously illegal. What if you have to pay for it yourself after the horse racing hunt is over? Unnecessary damage to public property is not a very honorable thing.
If you can't break it, the best way is to move it away.
However, the weight of the five-meter-high recording monument is really exaggerated.
"Try it!" Fang Zhengzheng reluctantly took out a small shovel from his arms, which he usually used to dig traps.
It has always been a must-have when traveling outside.
labour is the honour!
Fang Zhengzheng shouted a loud slogan and started digging.
Amidst the splashing of gravel, the part of the record stone buried in the soil slowly emerged. However, the more things appeared, the more Fang Zhengzheng felt his heart trembling.
"How long will this digging last?"
…
The third recording stone leads to the fourth recording stone.
A young man riding a black horse was waving his whip vigorously. Behind him, there was another young man riding a green pony.
"Xiang Tianying! The number one horse racing hunt belongs to me, Tang Zhongming!" On the green horse, the young man in green armor finally moved and raised his hand. A ray of cold light quickly flew towards the sky eagle wearing a black outfit.
"hiss!"
There was a deafening neigh, and the black colt raised its front legs towards Sky Eagle, but its hind legs were slightly bent, as if it was about to fall to the ground.
The expression of Xiang Tianying, who was riding on the black horse, changed slightly.
Of course he knew that Tang Zhongming behind him did not dare to be cold to him, but it was perfectly normal to be cold to the horse he was riding.
"Tang Zhongming, you are looking for death!" Xiang Tianying's eyes quickly spotted a thin needle on the black colt's leg, which was as crystal clear as water and sparkling.
"Hahaha... This ice needle melts when it penetrates the flesh. However, I accidentally got some cartilage powder on it. I'm really sorry, but I believe it won't have any impact on the beloved horse of the eldest master Xiang!" Tang Zhongming His eyes sparkled.
In terms of strength, Xiang Tianying was ranked seventh on the Shenglong Ranking, while he was ranked eighth. Although one place was missing, it was still impossible for Xiang Tianying to kill him.
not to mention. He also believed that Xiang Tianying did not have the courage.
"Despicable!" Xiang Tianying snorted, and quickly took out a jade bottle from his arms, and then poured out a red pill. A flick of the fingers.
The red pill was shot into the black pony's mouth.
"Hiss!" The originally shaky black colt stood upright again in an instant, with a faint red light shining in its eyes, and a crackling sound came from all over its body.
"You dare to use bone strengthening pills! You... you have been prepared for a long time?!" Tang Zhongming looked at this scene and said something bad in his heart. This bone strengthening pill is the Xiang family's unique secret medicine, which can activate war horses in an instant. The bloodline is vicious.
The time is half an hour.
but. The condition in exchange is that the horse will probably not be rideable again for at least a month.
Half an hour
Naturally, this horse racing hunt ended without any suspense.
Not to mention the side effects of not being able to ride for a month.
"Of course I have prepared it a long time ago, but I originally planned to use it for the final sprint after passing the fourth record stone, but now... I can't use it anymore!" Xiang Tianying sneered.
Horse racing and hunting were his top priority, so of course he couldn't be completely unprepared.
As the two faced each other, there was a sound of horse hooves behind them.
Not long after, a red figure appeared, it was Pingyang wearing a red flame flower armor, and behind Pingyang, Zhang Feiyu and the Ninth Prince Lin Yun followed closely.
"After Young Master Tang broke up, I took the first step!" Xiang Tianying did not get entangled with Tang Zhongming. The horse in his hand was stiff, and the black colt he stepped on rushed out in an instant.
Faster than before.
"Damn it!" Tang Zhongming cursed secretly, and a green pill quickly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his hand, it shot into the mouth of the colt he was stepping on.
"Ouch!" The cyan colt's body trembled, and its four legs were quickly covered with a layer of cyan scales, and a ferocity emanated from the colt's body.
Of course Tang Zhongming was also prepared.
However, the pill he popped into the foal's mouth was inferior to the one given to Xiang Tianying, although its effectiveness in stimulating blood vessels was almost the same.
but…
But it is exchanged for the life of this horse.
To put it bluntly, after this horse racing hunt, this horse can officially declare to take a back seat and become an old war horse.
Although the green war horse he stepped on was not comparable in terms of bloodline to Ping Yang's Snow White Jade or Ninth Prince Lin Yun's Purple Lightning Black Dragon Colt, it was still the best among the best.
Therefore, he was unwilling to use it unless absolutely necessary.
However, compared with the ranking of this horse racing hunt and the favor of the Holy Lord, the best horse is just a horse.
Even if this horse stayed with him for three full years and won him one race after another in various horse racing hunts, he would not hesitate to do so.
This is the horse racing hunt in the eyes of the noble family.
…
On the end of the manifest stone, one name appears again, which also means that more and more people have passed the third recording stone.
Wen Dabao looked at those names, thinking about his two thousand tael bet, and his expression was on the verge of collapse.
"Brother, I told you to call me brother, okay? Please give me some movement!" Wen Dabao's tears were about to fall, and now he almost knelt down to worship.
Of course, if he felt that bowing down would be effective, he would kneel down without hesitation.
After all, for him, two thousand taels of silver was almost equivalent to emptying out his small treasury. Once he lost this game, he would not be able to have sex for at least a month.
That will kill people!
"Huh?" At this moment, a young man from aristocratic family standing next to Wen Dabao suddenly let out a soft eh sound, and then his eyes widened in an instant.
"What... what's going on?" Another young master from aristocratic family soon made an unbelievable voice.
Just as Wen Dabao was about to ask, his eyes caught sight of a name on the manifest stone. Then, his eyes slowly began to widen, and streaks of blood slowly emerged from his eyeballs.
It was the expression of bloodshot eyes when they were widened to the extreme.
"Hahaha... It's out, it's finally out!" Wen Dabao was so excited that he almost danced.
Because, at the top of the manifested stele, a name is hanging high on it.
Fang Zhengzheng!
"It's really Fang Zhengzheng's name!"
"Look, Fang Zhengzheng's name appears on the tablet!"
"It's actually... the top?!"
When the young masters and talented men from aristocratic families heard Wen Dabao's shouts, their eyes also noticed the lofty name at the top of the stele.
According to the order of horse racing and hunting, the manifest stone is also divided into four layers. The bottom layer is the first recording stone, and the top layer is naturally the fourth recording stone.
"Fangzheng passed the fourth recording stone?!"
Pairs of eyes looked at each other, and they all saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes. Although everyone probably guessed that Fang Zhengzheng might do this, the real position on the fourth recording stone was After seeing Fang Zhengzheng's name.
This feeling is completely different. (To be continued.)
