Chapter 125 Gambling Smoke
  The height of horses is much higher than that of people. First of all, the height creates psychological pressure on people.

And the horse is not a static animal.

Even for experienced players, there is a certain degree of danger and difficulty.

Unless you are a horse trainer who is familiar with horse nature and proficient in equestrian skills, or someone like Chu Lixuan who lives with horses day and night.

The ladies of the civil servants' families present only dared to mount their horses in the presence of a horse trainer, and walked around in a circle under the guidance of the horse trainer.

Riding horses and galloping is what the sons and daughters of military commanders do.

Nervousness and fear of grinding/rugging when getting on the horse, or doing something to make the horse unhappy, or the horse being in a bad mood today, or the horse being frightened, may eventually lead to the horse falling off.

'Ning Muqing' has no experience in riding horses, and has been thrown off a horse before. She must be very scared at this moment.

Everyone was excited to see Ning Muqing get into trouble.

however……

Unfortunately it is.

Ning Muqing held the reins tightly, stepped on the pedals, and jumped onto the horse neatly.

Before Zuo Ziyue and others could react, Ning Muqing had already mounted her horse and galloped away.

Ning Muqing was galloping down the street, as fast as a sword pointed at the wind. Seeing that Chu Lixuan was still staying where she was, she changed direction and returned to the starting point.

The tall shadow of the horse shrouded everyone who wanted to see Ning Muqing's joke, and at the same time, a look of shock flashed in Chu Lixuan's eyes.

Ning Muqing rushed towards Chu Lixuan. Seeing that the two horses were about to collide, she did not stop at all.

The man watched her approach without changing his expression, without making any move.

"Chirp..."

Only half an inch away, Ning Muqing finally pulled the reins and stopped.

This man is a bit too calm.

The horses roared loudly and looked high-spirited with their heads held high, as if they were looking forward to the next run.

Feeling the excitement of the horse, a faint smile appeared on Ning Muqing's lips.

"How are you? Your Highness Prince Ning? Can you leave now?" Ning Muqing sat on the horse and was as tall as Chu Lixuan.

The two looked at each other.

Chu Lixuan's eyes were still cold, "Is this all you have?"

"There are still a lot of things you don't know about me. If this is my ability, you will know it later."

Ning Muqing pouted, dissatisfied with Chu Lixuan's contempt for her.

Ning Muqing originally wanted to compete with Chu Lixuan in equestrian skills and deliberately provoke him, but she didn't know that the man was completely motionless.

This man's calm sanity has been controlled to a terrifying level.

When he was in danger, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he was like an observer from a God's perspective, staring at her, ignoring her, and observing calmly even though he had the ability to take action at any time, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he wanted to do next.

This will make people take the first step.

It was like watching her play a prank, full of ridicule.

Ning Muqing's proactive provocation was met with failure.

If she wanted to get angry again, but her opponent didn't respond, Ning Muqing had no choice but to say angrily, "Are you still leaving? If you don't leave, I'll leave first!"

"Bibi?" Chu Lixuan suddenly said,
  Ning Muqing's blood boiled instantly, "How do you want to compare?"

"Chengmen, whoever reaches the finish line first wins, what do you think?" Chu Lixuan said calmly.

"Very good!" Ning Muqing agreed without thinking.

She didn't know if it was Ning Muqing's illusion, but she seemed to see a hint of wanting to achieve a certain goal flash in Ning Muqing's cold eyes, and now she was watching her prey fall into a trap.

But when I wanted to explore, that look flashed across my face again. Chu Lixuan took advantage of Ning Muqing's unpreparedness and drove the horse to trot ahead. Ning Muqing quickly drove the reins to catch up, and the two of them shuttled through the street one after another.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most prosperous and lively capital, is full of beautiful ancient buildings.

As the horses' hooves clicked on the bluestone road, the buildings receded one by one in front of them.

……

His Royal Highness Prince Ning, who ranks first in martial arts and equestrian skills in the capital, wants to test his riding skills with his princess.

This astonishing feat can be said to have shocked everyone present. Tianxiang Pavilion, the number one restaurant in the capital, knew the news and immediately spoke out, immediately attracting the attention of all the young ladies in the capital.

Tianxiang Pavilion has five floors and cost a lot of money.

The top floor is designed for viewing.

"I didn't expect that the fifth floor of Tianxiang Pavilion would be open for another day. Thanks to Rourou, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to a place like this." Zuo Ziyue entered the box and began to look around curiously.

Ning Rourou smiled and said, "This place is good, but the master of Tianxiang Pavilion has always had a weird temper. We all took advantage of His Highness Prince Ning."

"That's right, Your Highness is the best to you." Zuo Ziyue tilted her head and teased, walked to the fence, and asked, "The scenery here is really beautiful, and you can even see the city tower. Hum, I'll just watch Ning When did Mu Qing fall off his horse?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning decided that the end point is the city gate, but the city gate is a wall. The horse will not stop immediately after rushing to the end point, but will dive forward for a period of time. Maybe it will not fall off the horse or hit the wall. .”

Xiao Ting covered her mouth, as if she had seen Ning Muqing's joke.

Ning Rourou was quite proud, "Although the track in this city is flat, the end point is actually the time to test your skills. You must not only ensure the speed, but also keep the distance. Only in this way can you show the superb skills of brother Li Xuan."

"Ning Muqing doesn't know how difficult this competition is, right?" Zuo Ziyue glanced towards the tower.

At this moment, there was a lot of discussion about the gambling outside.

Zuo Ziyue said excitedly, "How about we also take a gamble?"

"Is there any suspense in this bet?" Xiao Ting suddenly became happy, "Anyone with a pig's brain can understand His Highness Prince Abning."

"There shouldn't be a fool who bets on Ning Muqing."

Ning Rourou said without thinking, "Brother Li Xuan will definitely win. In order to support brother Li Xuan, I will stake a thousand taels."

This game was absolutely one-sided, and no one thought Ning Muqing could win.

However, in order to increase the fun, the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion still set up a gambling game. Those who bet on Chu Lixuan's victory also had odds of 1.

This means that one thousand taels can be turned into one thousand two hundred taels.

Ning Rourou happened to have one thousand taels of silver in her hand, but the jewelry she wanted to buy cost one thousand two hundred taels. After winning, she could buy the hosta that Yin Lou had longed for.

She had already foreseen Chu Lixuan's victory.

"Wow, as expected of Rourou, she is so heroic when she strikes." Zuo Ziyue hurriedly praised.

You know, one thousand taels is not a small amount.

In an ordinary family, one thousand taels of silver would be enough for the whole family to eat and drink for a lifetime.

As for a wealthy lady like Zuo Ziyue, her monthly salary was only thirty taels. Ning Rourou had been favored since she was a child, and when the late emperor was here, she could get many rewards during the New Year and festivals.

It was not surprising that she took out a thousand taels of silver.

Zuo Ziyue was just envious.

At this moment, someone suddenly said under the Tianxiang Pavilion, "I bet Ning Muqing to win, one thousand taels of silver."

The three people upstairs were very surprised. Who was this fool who was attacking Ning Muqing? ?

And it’s still one thousand taels of silver, which is not a small sum!

They looked towards the direction of the voice downstairs, and when they saw the woman's face, they were even more shocked.
