Qi Kuan saw this scene, but because he still didn't understand Xiao Hua Zi's intention of doing this, he could only endure it for the time being. Unexpectedly, he waited until dawn and Xiao Hua Zi left without any other actions.
Strange, could it be that Xin Bin did so many things just to make Lieyan hungry and make Brother Twelve look embarrassed in today's competition?
No, they must have other plots, but he didn't discover it for the time being. He was about to tell Xianyue when he accidentally heard Yong Cang's voice. He followed the sound and saw Yong Cang and Yong Xuan walking towards the horse together.
When the real estate agent arrived, he was smiling all the way, obviously in a good mood.
At this time, the two grooms were already there. When they saw Yong Cang and the others approaching, they quickly saluted and then said, "Are these brothers here to ride horses?"
Yongxuan smiled and said: "Why don't you come to this stable if you don't ride a horse? Go and get the horse out quickly. Before the competition starts, let's go out for a run."
The groom agreed repeatedly and led the three of their horses out respectively. Yongxing stroked his flaming red mane. She was usually very untamed in front of him, but this time she kept shaking her head and snoring.
Somewhat puzzled: "Why does Lieyan look like something is wrong? What happened to it?"
One of the grooms stepped forward and said with a smile: "I think Lie Yan knew that Brother Twelve was going to take him to gallop in the paddock today, so he was a little excited. Last night, the slave gave it two feeds, but it didn't eat at all.
If you don’t believe me, just take a look.”
Looking along the stone trough pointed by the groom, it turned out that there was not a single piece of fodder in it. Yong Xing smiled and patted Lie Yan on the back and said, "You are more impatient than me. Okay, let's work together to achieve a first place today."
"
Hearing this, Yongxuan smiled and said: "I'm not ashamed to say that, I decided to take the first position a long time ago. Twelve brothers, you should wait until next year."
Just as Yongxun was about to speak, Yongxun's voice came from the other side, "Who has decided to be number one?"
Yongxuan wrinkled his straight nose and said: "Fourth brother, just watch, I will never lose to you again this time, the first place must be mine."
Yongxuan rubbed his head and said: "You guy, you are even shorter than me, and you still want to compete with me for first place. Just wait a few more years. If you lose to me then, don't cry!"
Yongxuan pushed his hand away with force and said unconvinced: "The competition this time is about archery, and it has nothing to do with height. Just look at it, I will definitely beat you, for sure!"
Yongxun smiled and said: "Okay, I'll wait and see, but what should I do if you disappoint me?"
Yongxuan stamped his feet and said: "If I lose, I will lead the horse and hold the reins for you and let you change it."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Before Yongxun finished speaking, Yongxu said: "And me, Brother Eleven, don't forget, we high-fived each other before, and if you lose to Brother Four, you will have to fight for it for the rest of your life.
I lead the horse and hold the rein; but now I have to add another one, even if I lose."
Facing him, Yongxuan was not as nervous as before. He flicked his forehead and said, "Losing to you? Although you are the best in reading, but in archery... I am not boasting, you are still a little behind."
Yongxun rubbed his reddish forehead and said, "Let's see." Ever since Hongli taught him archery that night, he would practice it for an hour every night, but he didn't tell anyone about it.
Waiting for a surprise for Yongxuan and the others today.
Yongxuan glanced around and said with a smile: "There are already three people competing for the first place. It seems that the competition will be fierce later."
Yongxun took the reins handed over by the groom and said: "Okay, let's go out for a walk first to warm up. When we come back from running, it's time to go to the paddock with Huang Ama."
Yong Cang and others nodded, each took the reins and headed out. Qi Kuan was secretly worried. Lie Yan was always hungry, so something was obviously wrong. If Yong Cang lost his temper along the way, it would be troublesome.
No, he had to think of a way to remind Yong Cang. Thinking of this, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and walked along a path to face Yong Cang and others. He patted his sleeves and knelt down and said, "Slave to the fourth elder brother and eighth elder brother.
Brother Eleven, Brother Twelve, greetings, and good luck to you all."
Yongxun asked doubtfully: "Why are you here?"
Qi Kuan lowered his head and said: "Twelve elder brother, the master knows that you are coming to ride a horse, and is worried about your safety, so he specially sent a slave here."
Yongxu smiled and said: "It's not my first time riding a horse, so what's the danger? Besides, aren't Fourth Brother and the others here? You can go back."
Qi Kuan was embarrassed and said: "But the master told me that I must take good care of the twelfth brother. If the slave goes back like this, I really can't explain it to the master."
"But when I ride a horse, you can't follow me. You don't know how to ride a horse." Seeing that Yongxun's tone relaxed, he quickly said: "It doesn't matter, I can run behind, and I can more or less follow."
Seeing what he said, Yongxun nodded and said: "Okay, I'll run slower. If you can follow, just follow. If you can't, just stand there and wait for me to come back."
"Hey!" After such a response, Qi Kuan said deliberately: "Brother Twelve, Lieyan seems to have something wrong today. Is he not full?"
Yongxun shook his head and said: "Impossible. The groom said that he fed me twice last night and it ate them all. He must be eager to go out for a run with me."
"Perhaps..." Qi Kuan thought nervously. He couldn't tell Yong Cang the truth, so he reluctantly came up with an explanation, "Maybe it was eaten by the horse next to it. It didn't eat much by itself, so I went to get some grass.
Come and feed it!”
Yongxuan glanced at the sky, frowned and said, "If we delay like this, we won't have time to run around."
Qi Kuan said quickly: "No, I can feed you quickly and it won't take too long."
Yongxing looked at him and said, "Okay then, go get the fodder."
Qi Kuan happily agreed and ran over to ask the groom for fodder. Just as he was waiting for the groom to bring the fodder, a series of horse hoofbeats came from behind. Looking back, he saw Yong Cang and the others got on the horse at some point and started riding.
The horse galloped out.
Seeing this scene, Qi Kuan quickly shouted: "Brother Twelve, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Yongxun turned around and waved his hand: "Okay, it's okay. Just wait here. I'll be back soon."
Qi Kuan was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but they were all riding horses, and he couldn't catch up with his two legs. He could only pray that Lieyan wouldn't lose his temper because of hunger, otherwise it would be really troublesome; no, he had to go quickly.
Tell the master to send someone to follow Brother Twelve.
Just as he was about to leave, the groom came over with fodder and said, "Eunuch Qi, the fodder you asked for is here."
Qi Kuan said angrily: "What's the use of bringing it now? You two big men can't even see a few horses, it's really useless; Brother Twelve, just be fine, otherwise be careful with your heads!"
