Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 237 Bet
And what Gu Qinglian wants most now is freedom.Originally thought that Shen Congjia was just angry because of what happened that night, and grounded her to vent.But he didn't expect that she had been imprisoned in this gorgeous birdcage for more than a month.It seems that there is still a knot in his heart.

A cage made of gold wire is intended to imprison her restless heart.

But she, Gu Qinglian, is a person, a living person.Not a bird, how could a cage imprison her heart and her will.

Gu Qinglian was waiting, waiting for a chance to regain her freedom.

However, she did not expect that the person who set her free was actually Li Yuanming.

In the evening of that day, Zhui'er accidentally saw a person hovering at the gate, "Ma'am, there is a person outside our gate, who has been walking back and forth at the gate for a long time. I don't know what to do."

"Who is it?" Fang Xin hurriedly asked, Gu Qinglian is now grounded, gossip, sarcasm is not enough, there is an inexplicable person hovering at the gate of the courtyard, if this spreads, it will even involve Gu Qinglian.

"I didn't see it clearly. But what I can be sure of is that he is a man."

"Forget it, let me go and have a look!"

She has been grounded these days and no one cares about her, even A Mao and A Gou can't avoid it, and Gu Qinglian is very curious about who else will linger in front of her door.

"Ma'am, no!"

"What's wrong, go and see. Anyway, the consequences won't be so bad that they are worse than now."

With that said, Gu Qinglian stood up and walked towards the door.

When she saw Li Yuanming from a distance, she was shocked.

Fangxin's heart sank even more.It's hard to tell other men, let alone this man is Li Yuanming.This is even more unclear.

The two of them stared at each other from a distance for a long time.

Shen Congjia took so much pains to imprison her and never even glanced at her. Why?And why did he come?
Somewhere, she felt that he might have to do something.

In the suburbs of late autumn, the sky is exceptionally blue, the sun in late autumn is very warm, and the clouds lie lazily on the blue sky, like huge cotton candy blossoms, embellishing the sky more beautifully.Two tall and mighty figures were riding on horses, quietly watching the distance.

"Brother Li, why did you invite me here today?" Shen Congjia rode majestically on his horse, and looked at Li Yuanming indifferently.

"Look, the blue sky, the green grass stretches as far as the eye can see, and the white clouds are blooming. It's like a gorgeous natural picture scroll, isn't it?"

"It's beautiful!" Shen Congjia sighed while staring at the beauty of the unity of heaven and earth in the distance. After a while, he came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were sharp, and said slowly, "Brother Li must have invited me here, not only It’s just as simple as coming to enjoy the scenery!?”

Li Yuanming smiled, as if he didn't care. He closed his eyes gently and took a deep breath. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Shen Congjia. Suddenly, his eyes were cold and he asked coldly. Said, "In this world, apart from life, what does Brother Shen think is the most precious?"

Shen Congjia looked into the distance, the green color was about to drip, a thin river under the continuous mountain peaks, exposed to the sun, looked from a distance, like a shining silver necklace, his eyes flickered slightly, his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, faintly Said: "Freedom."

With just two words, Li Yuanming's face immediately brightened, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. His eyes stared straight at Shen Congjia, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since brother Shen thinks freedom is the most precious, why do you want to take it away?" She's human, isn't this cruel?"

It's not that he doesn't understand the meaning of his words, but he understands it too well.

Shen Congjia's face gradually became solemn and stern, and a feeling of discomfort spread in his heart.He suppressed this feeling, frowned deeply, and looked at Li Yuanming quietly for a long time. Li Yuanming glared at each other with a cold expression, and said without anger: "Brother Li, the feeling of pity and pity is certainly moving. Just don't Recklessly treating other people's wives..." Immediately there was a terrifying look in the bloodshot eyes, and the breath in the whole body became cold for no reason, "Brother Li, don't worry too much about your wife's affairs!" There is already a strong sense of warning.

Li Yuanming raised his brows unconsciously, and his deep eyes were sharp. Seeing that he was suddenly full of anger, his hair was faintly shaggy, and his face was gloomy, "I shouldn't have asked about the matter of Brother Shen's wife..."

"Since you know it's wrong, don't interfere!" Shen Congjia glanced at Li Yuanming coldly, and the expression on his face became more serious.

Li Yuanming's words were blocked for a moment, and he became angry in his heart. His brows slightly raised an upward arc, his hands in the cuffs were clenched into fists, his knuckles were slightly white, and he looked at Shen Congjia coldly, his fierce eyes suddenly became brighter. , and took it back in an instant.

Li Yuanming couldn't understand what he said in his heart, but if he just didn't want to say it, it would be meaningless if he said it.He just wanted to intervene, and he invited him here today not just for Gu Qinglian.

"I heard that brother Shen's riding skills are extraordinary. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to watch it?" He knew that there was no need to linger on the topic just now, so he changed the subject.

The expression on Shen Congjia's face was also unpredictable, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "Brother Li's riding skills are also invincible!?"

He wants to see what tricks he will come up with!
"Brother Shen usually has a lot of things to do every day, and it's rare for me to have such an opportunity with you today, why don't we just open up and play for a while?" Li Yuanming glanced at Shen Congjia deeply, and the smirk on the corner of his mouth instantly turned into a sneer.

Shen Congjia saw his proud demeanor, even the posture of holding the rein on the horse's back, he was full of confidence, as if his inner heartstrings were plucked fiercely, he said loudly: "Okay! I don't know who is more important than you or me. Outperformed?"

For Li Yuanming's proposal, Shen Congjia also liked it very much and looked forward to it.Very early on, he had heard from the general of the court that this person's immediate skills were peerless, and he had long wanted to compete with him. No matter what his purpose was today, he also wanted to compete with him.

"Then let's have a competition, with the mountain as the boundary, let's compete!" When a gust of wind hit, Li Yuanming suddenly felt very cool, but he didn't feel excited.

Shen Congjia frowned slightly, withdrew his smile, let out a cold "oh", and asked, "Since it's a competition, what does Brother Li want to bet on?"

"Just bet on Gu Qinglian's freedom." Li Yuanming's deep eyes pierced like knives, and he had already settled the game in his heart. With the spoils he wanted, he was bound to win this war without gunpowder smoke. .

Calling Gu Qinglian by her first name made Shen Congjia extremely upset.

The sun's light slanted westward minute by minute, and it was no longer as dazzling as at noon. Shen Congjia's eyes were also like this sunshine, dimming minute by minute.

It turned out that he did all this for only one person, and Shen Congjia felt resentful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Since he insisted on provoking, he would accompany him to the end.

The sky in the prairie is always unpredictable, it was exceptionally blue just now, but after a gust of wind, it has become somewhat grayish blue, and Shen Congjia's expression is also unpredictable like the sky.

"Excellent." Shen Congjia replied very quickly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

The sound was like gold and iron, and Li Yuanming felt his heart tense.

On horseback, both Li Yuanming and Shen Congjia stood majestic and majestically. Both of them had the demeanor of a king, high-spirited, and refused to give in to each other, like the two leopards who were about to go to war. For food and territory, they were bound to fight to the death.

Shen Congjia was dressed in a snow-green satin gown, the sunlight reflected a cold light, his handsome face was as cold as cast iron at this moment, his straight figure stood upright on the horse, his whole body was full of a dangerous aura of gnashing of teeth and anger , Just like a beast that wants to devour people.

Li Yuanming's expression was also stern, with bloodthirsty gazes in his fierce eyes, and his whole body was tense. The evil spirit from Shen Congjia's body spread, and his heart was inexplicably surging. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or excitement. Meeting such a strong opponent , His whole body's blood also boiled up.

After the two looked at each other for a second, the reins suddenly moved at the same time, and the two horses galloped like shooting stars.

To outsiders they seemed to start at the same time, but the riders felt the difference of a second or two that was very important to them.

The famous horse that Li Yuanming was sitting on had a shiny black mane, like black pearls.It ran all the way, like a beam of lightning across the grassland.

The maroon "whirlwind" driven by Shen Congjia followed closely behind. At the first moment, he could neither control himself nor his horse. His whirlwind had only been tamed recently, and there was a lack of tacit understanding between him and him.

The two horses approached the small hill almost at the same moment. The height of the small hill was not too high. Shen Congjia decided to leap over it. Li Yuanming also had a good understanding. His horse leaped and flew over, and the whirlwind followed him But at the moment when Shen Congjia felt himself jumping into the air, he suddenly saw a white ball at the place where the horse was about to land, which looked like a rabbit. Feet and back, over the past.

"Good job!" Shen Congjia was pleasantly surprised.

After crossing the small hill, Shen Congjia completely controlled his whirlwind.But he and Li Yuanming always kept the distance at the beginning, Shen Congjia adjusted his body, and thought to himself that it was time to overtake him, at the moment he thought so, Cyclone also understood his mind, and greatly accelerated Stepping forward, he began to overtake, and caught up with Li Yuanming at the most favorable place. The two horses were galloping almost at the same pace.

Another hill that was higher than before appeared in the distance. Shen Congjia took a visual inspection from a distance. It would be risky to cross over. He held the reins firmly and quickly chased Li Yuanming on the slope. When he flew past, He caught a glimpse of his nervous look.

Shen Congjia chased after him, but immediately felt that he was following closely, and he kept hearing the sound of the whirlwind's unruffled hoofbeats and its rapid but still energetic breathing from its nostrils.

He whipped it, and was delighted to feel it accelerate with ease, his whirlwind leading the way, as he had hoped, and he was sure he would win.His excitement, his joy, and his love for the whirlwind grew stronger and stronger.

The mountain peak is getting closer and closer, and a small river like a silver necklace blocks in front of it. The meandering river is almost two feet wide. When approaching the shore, both the man and the horse have a moment of doubt, and the whirlwind seems to hesitate. , Shen Congjia vigorously rode his horse and long whip, and as he expected, the whirlwind quickened its pace and leaped steadily.With the same rhythm, the same gait, continue to run.

Li Yuanming's horse also flew over the small river. It flew over like a bird, as if it didn't notice it at all.But at this moment, Shen Congjia made a fatal mistake when he fell to his horse.His body tilted sharply, the whirlwind hesitated, and the speed of his hooves slowed down a little, at this time a black satin bolt flashed by him.

Shen Congjia stabilized his mind, adjusted his sitting posture, and rode his horse to catch up.However, he was still one step too late.

The horse race failed!
Shen Congjia's face changed due to anger, his cheeks were pale, his jaw trembled slightly, at this moment he wished he could stab Xuanfeng to death.But he knew in his heart that it was his own fault!Shameful, unforgivable mistakes lead to failure.Cyclone slowed down in order not to hurt him.

Cyclone stared at its master, Shen Congjia, with its eyes that seemed to be speaking.

What's wrong with this lovely, respectable horse!
"Brother Shen has accepted." Li Yuanming said modestly with his hands clasped in front of his chest.Although his tone sounded calm, his heart was surging. He sighed secretly, Shen Congjia's equestrian skills were really top-notch, if it wasn't for the fact that he was riding a black horse, it would be difficult to beat him!
