"No, this is the best location near Bianzhou City."
"It's really good."
Gong Jie asked tentatively: "We just happened to meet each other. We will have a horse race later. I wonder if the prince would like to watch or join in?"
"I haven't tried horse racing with anyone yet, so I'll excuse you." Zhao Jin handed the reins to Chi Yi and accepted Gong Jie's invitation.
"No, no, no." Gong Jie turned sideways and stretched his right hand forward, "Your Majesty, please come this way."
Zhao Jin was not polite to them and strode ahead. Gong Jie and others followed closely behind Zhao Jin.
After taking his seat, Zhao Jin looked at Qiu Yue, "I wonder who this is..."
"The common people have seen the prince."
Qiu Yue generously bowed his hand to Zhao Jin and saluted, "My name is Qiu Yue, a commoner. He is dressed in white."
Zhao Jin pretended to look up in surprise, "It turns out to be Mr. Qiu."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious, Mr. Qiu, they are just giving some thin noodles to the common people. They can't afford it, they can't afford it!" Qiu Yue waved his hands repeatedly.
"Mr. Qiu is too humble."
A servant made a cup of tea for Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin took a few sips to moisten his throat and said, "Mr. Qiu's talent is renowned throughout Bianzhou City."
Zhao Jin did not exaggerate. Although Qiu Yue was white, his literary talent and reputation were not matched by many officials in the court.
There are almost no scholars in Bianzhou City who have not heard of Qiu Yue's name.
If the other party had not wanted to take the scientific examination and was not willing to enter the official career, he would have already been promoted to the imperial court and became an official in the court.
"Brother Qiu, please stop being modest. You and the prince's talents are well known in Bianzhou City!" Gong Jie patted his friend's shoulder and said with a smile.
Next to him, Chu Xiaoyi didn't understand poetry and songs, so he remained silent and didn't speak.
Lin Jia, who took the scientific examination and became an official, also knows a lot about this aspect and echoed a few words.
After everyone was polite, Zhao Jin heard Gong Jie ask: "Your Highness, are you here to hunt?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin raised his hand and patted his head, "Yes, look, I forgot all about it. There are still quite a few prey that I haven't dealt with, Chi Yi!"
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Jin pondered for a moment, then asked Gong Jie and the others, "Are you interested in having lunch here today?"
"Solve it here?" Gong Jie, Lin Jia and Qiu Yue didn't quite understand what Zhao Jin meant.
There is nothing here except barren mountains, woods and wild animals. How to solve it?
Chu Xiaoyi had been on several expeditions and quickly understood what Zhao Jin meant, "Does the prince want to bake and eat it directly here?"
"That's almost it. Just enough for a few of us to have a taste of barbecue."
Gong Jie and the others didn't have any objections. In the past, they would have gone to the city to pick a restaurant for lunch.
Zhao Jin then turned his head and whispered to Chi Yi, who was standing next to him: "Go, send a deer back to the palace, and then bring all the things needed for the barbecue, along with a few jars of Qiulibai and wine glasses.
"
"My subordinate will go right away."
Chi Yi and several guards first dragged all the prey at the foot of the mountain to an open space below.
The entire arena is oval-shaped, with horses running around it, and a barbecue can be held in the middle.
Gong Jie and the others didn't pay much attention at first. Only after Chi Yi dragged the prey over did they realize how many things Zhao Jin had hunted.
Deer, wild boar, rabbit, etc., there are nearly ten prey.
"Your Majesty," Chu Xiaoying leaned forward, "Are you going hunting at midnight?"
Zhao Jin put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "It's so early. Hunting is just for fun. It's not like I'm going to suffer in vain if I go so early."
He calculated and said, "It took about an hour."
Although Gong Jie and Lin Jia were surprised, they felt that they were expected.
After all, during the winter hunting, Zhao Jin killed an incredible number of prey, outmatching all the others, and even brought back an iron-eating beast.
However, Chu Xiaoyi was busy and did not participate in the winter hunting, so he did not know about it.
He and Qiu Yue were simply dumbfounded as they stared at the prey in the middle below.
Zhao Jin stood up nonchalantly, tilted his head and said to Gong: "Master Gong, it will take some time to wait for them to bring the tools for barbecue. Why don't we compete first?"
"good!"
Gong Jie's eyes lit up when he mentioned horse racing.
Zhao Jin couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It seemed that the official minister really liked horse racing.
The group of people walked directly down, and Zhao Jin got on the black horse he had ridden.
"How about five laps to determine the outcome?" Zhao Jin asked loudly, holding a riding crop in hand.
"Can!"
A guard on the side acts as the referee.
"Three, two, one, start!"
Five horses galloped out at the same time!
Zhao Jin leaned down, holding the reins tightly with one hand, and controlling the horse's speed with a whip in the other hand.
The field is not small, and five laps is already a long distance. It is not only a test of speed, but also endurance.
Gong Jie and Zhao Jin were almost on the same line. When he saw Zhao Jin's appearance, his eyes lit up.
Horses run very fast when galloping. Leaning down and being as close to the horse's back as possible can not only avoid being blown by the wind and make it difficult to open your eyes, but also allow the horse to run faster.
"drive!"
The five horses are almost equally matched.
In the first lap, Zhao Jin was only in the middle position. He squinted his eyes and was not in a hurry.
Continue to maintain this speed and finish the second lap.
After all, Gong Jie and Lin Jia are literati and their physical strength is not very good. On the third lap, it can be seen that their hands holding the reins are slightly weak.
Horse racing not only tests the horses, but also tests the people who handle the horses. It also has high requirements on the physical fitness of the horse handlers.
The bumps on the horse's back and the tight control of the reins are not something that can be easily dealt with.
What surprised Zhao Jin was Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue and Chu Xiaoyi were neck and neck, Chu Xiaoyi was at the front, and Qiu Yue was only half a horse's head behind Chu Xiaoyi.
"Drive!" Zhao Jin raised his whip, and the horse ran much faster, chasing Qiu Yue straight away.
At the end of the third lap, Chu Xiaoyi, Qiu Yue, and Zhao Jin were fighting hard, but no one gave way to the other, and they remained in a stalemate.
Zhao Jin swung his riding whip again and looked at the curve ahead with a sharp look.
Sudden!
When passing by Bendou, Zhao Jin's horse suddenly became much faster. He jumped past Qiu Yue and pressed on Chu Xiaoying!
When passing Qiu Yue, Zhao Jin was surprised to find that Qiu Yue, who was the thinnest among the five, did not look tired at all.
After the shock, Zhao Jin gathered his thoughts and stared straight ahead.
finally!
At the end of the fourth lap, Zhao Jin surpassed Chu Xiaoyi!
At this time, the horses under Zhao Jin were really running at the fastest speed, while the horses under Zhao Jin were already showing signs of weakness, and it was impossible for them to catch up with Zhao Jin.
