Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 118 Horse Racing
Early in the morning, Wuzhu came out of the palace. Because the morning was not too hot and the wind was just right, she rode a horse instead of a car. She also wore very simple clothes and only brought two guards with her.

She is going to Songshan on this trip.

Before entering the city, Ma Wu had already taken her around Songshan, and when she returned to Beijing, she found out that Ling Bo and Bo Zhe had gone to Songshan other courtyard to escape the summer heat after inquiring about the recent situation of some acquaintances.

She has a lot of acquaintances in Beijing, but not many close ones. After thinking about it, she and Ling Bo have a common language, and she also thought about something she wanted to tell Ling Bo personally, so she decided to go to Songshan Come.

Concubine Rong's natal family, Ma Jia's family, also has a courtyard in Songshan, since it was Wu Zhu who came over, it was natural for her to use it.

Everything was very comfortable, the weather was good, the wind was refreshing, the morning air was mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the moisture of dew, on the horseback, with the light rhythm of the horse's brisk footsteps, it was refreshing .

As long as there are no spoilers around, everything will be perfect.

Wu Zhu turned her head to the side, looked at the girl beside her who was riding lightly on a horse, and said angrily, "I said, why are you following me?"

The other party sneered and said: "The road is open to the sky, and everyone can walk. Why do you say that I am following you? Isn't it the other way around that you follow me?"

Wuzhu snorted and said, "I'm going to Songshan, so are you going to Songshan too?"

"Songshan doesn't belong to you alone, you can go, why can't I go?"

"I went to Songshan to escape the summer heat, and there is our other courtyard there. But you come from An Nanguo, do you have a villa in Songshan too?"

Li Fangcao raised her chin and said, "Although I don't have another courtyard, I can't go to visit my friends, can I?"

Wuzhu thought she was being stubborn, glanced up and down, and turned her head away with a snort.

Both of them disliked each other in various ways.

They collided on the street and reported it to the emperor, but the emperor gave them fifty slaps each and reprimanded them all.Li Fangcao was almost grounded by Annan Wang Li Weizhen.

She was a person who couldn't be locked up. If she was to stay in the same place, it would be better to kill her.Before Li Weizhen sent someone to watch her seriously, she slipped out on horseback early in the morning, fearing to alarm Li Weizhen, she didn't even bring her guards with her.

It was really a coincidence to meet Wuzhu at the gate of the palace.

She didn't want to go with Wuzhu at first, but when she heard that he was going to Songshan, she immediately thought about going the same way.

Except for Bo Zhe, she didn't know anyone in Beijing, and Bo Zhe went to Songshan, which made her very angry. She wanted to chase him to find out, but she didn't know the way to Songshan. The guide, of course, is exhilarating.

There were still few pedestrians in the morning, but with the lesson from last time, neither Wuzhu nor Li Fangcao dared to let their horses gallop anymore. Both of them were impatient, so they could only hold back their temper and ride out of the capital slowly.

It was quite boring to just ride the horse dryly, so Wuzhu couldn't help but asked Li Fangcao: "Hey, I said you, are you really going to Songshan to visit friends? Do you still know someone in Beijing?"

Li Fangcao raised the corner of her eyes and said, "Of course I know someone, and he's still my good friend."

"Oh? There is probably no one in Beijing that I don't know. Tell me, who is your friend?"

Li Fangcao snorted, "Why should I tell you?"

She deliberately turned her head away.

Wuzhu said angrily: "Don't say it's down!"

She raised the whip and waved it around her head, and said loudly: "I'm going to run, don't follow me anymore!"

Before she finished speaking, she whipped the horse and rushed out.

Of course, the two guards followed immediately.

Li Fangcao became anxious immediately, she was still counting on Wu Zhu to lead the way, but she couldn't let her slip away first, and immediately started galloping.

Wuzhu heard the horse's hooves behind her, and while controlling the speed and direction of the horse, she turned her head and said loudly: "I didn't tell you not to follow me, why are you still haunted?"

Li Fangcao said loudly: "This is the only way to go to Songshan. Why do you say I'm following you? I think you're blocking my way!"

Wu Zhu tightened the reins suddenly, "Wow", and slowed down.

Li Fangcao felt puzzled, and also reined in.

"How about we come to make a bet?" Wu Zhu looked at her provocatively with a smile on her lips.

Li Fangcao asked, "What are you betting on?"

Wu Zhu pointed forward with the whip, and said, "There is only one straight road to Songshan. Let's race horses. Whoever reaches the foot of Songshan first will win."

Li Fangcao just said that there is only one road is just nonsense, but when she heard Wu Zhu say that there is indeed only a straight road, she was secretly happy, and when she heard Wu Zhu said that she wanted to bet, she immediately became competitive.

"Okay, let's go to the horse race, what will we get as a prize?"

You have to think about it, Wuzhu frowned, thought about it, and suddenly saw Li Fangcao was also hanging a bow and arrow, and her eyes lit up, knowing that the other party was also a martial artist.

"Well, I plan to invite a few friends to hold a bonfire party after arriving in Songshan. Let's make a bet now. The loser will be responsible for hunting wild game for everyone. How about it?"

Just as Li Fangcao was about to agree, she suddenly became more thoughtful and asked, "How many people do you want to invite to the party?"

Wuzhu said: "I have two friends in Songshan, plus me, plus my bodyguards and their servants, plus you, there are about ten people."

If there are about ten people, then there can't be too little game to hunt.

Li Fangcao bit her lower lip.

Wu Zhu immediately said, "What? Are you scared? As long as you admit defeat now, I'll take it easy."

Li Fangcao's desire to win was immediately aroused, she straightened her chest, and said loudly: "Whoever is afraid, let's compete! When the time comes, you will lose, so don't be foolish!"

Wuzhu sneered and said, "I, Princess Shuo Rongxian, the dignified Qing Dynasty, how can I be so reckless! But you, Princess Annan, don't believe what you say, and lose Annan's face."

Li Fangcao waved his whip and said, "Anyway, whoever is stupid is the big turtle!"

Not long after she came to Beijing, she learned how to swear, knowing that no one wants to be a "turtle bastard".

Wuzhu immediately laughed and said, "Okay, whoever is stupid is the turtle!"

She turned her head and said to the two guards beside her: "You two, go ahead and wait in front, lest someone fish in troubled waters." She glanced at Li Fangcao.

Li Fangcao snorted and raised her chin provocatively.

The two guards decided that one would go to the front and wait at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and the other would follow Wuzhu and Li Fangcao to protect them, just in case.

Wuzhu and Li Fangcao stood side by side with their horses, and they shot out like two off-string arrows at the order of the guards.

The guards didn't dare to be negligent, and chased after him with whips.

This road is really fast. Wu Zhu and Li Fangcao both boasted that they were good riders, even compared with men, but they did not expect that the other party was so good. In a stalemate, the two horse heads are often less than half a foot apart.

The wind whizzed past their ears, and gradually began to shave their faces. Both of them knew that this was approaching the foot of the mountain, and the mountain wind was much more severe than the wind on the plain.

Sure enough, after running for a while, the figure of the guard who arrived first at the foot of the mountain on a horse was already in sight.

Wuzhu whipped the whip violently, and the horse under him neighed sadly, and passed Li Fangcao with a whimper. Seeing that the guard's figure became clearer and clearer, Li Fangcao was always left behind by her.

"Haha!" She couldn't help laughing, and the mountain wind poured into her mouth, causing her throat to hurt immediately.

At this moment, a black shadow passed by, and Li Fangcao rushed in front of her.

Wuzhu was startled and swiped her whip again and again, but she still watched helplessly as Li Fangcao rushed to the guard first, and pulled up the branch that was stuck on the ground to represent the end point.

Li Fangcao held the branch and rushed out for a long distance, then turned the horse's head around, rode over briskly, waved the branch high, and laughed loudly: "I won! I won! Princess Qing, you Unconvinced!"

Wu Zhu whipped the whip on the ground bitterly, causing the rocks to roll wildly.

Li Fangcao walked up to her triumphantly, and threw the branch in front of her horse's head.

Wu Zhu stared at her bright smiling face in annoyance.

"You are amazing! Come to the bonfire party tomorrow night, and I will be in charge of hunting! There is a small lake to the east of the bamboo forest on the mountainside, and to the northeast of the lake is my other courtyard."

She turned the horse's head around, let out a "ho", and ran up the mountain.

The two guards quickly turned their horses around and followed.

After galloping for a while, Wuzhu felt something strange behind her, turned her head, and found that Li Fangcao was still not far behind, she stopped her horse immediately, and said angrily, "Why are you still following me? Are you going to Is it the same place as mine?"

"I..." Li Fangcao bit her lip and frowned, of course she didn't want to go to the same place as Wuzhu.

"What me, I think you have a purpose. Tell me, why are you following me?"

Li Fangcao gritted her teeth and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "You just said that there is no one in Beijing that you don't know, I don't believe it, so I want to test you!"

"What, test me?" Wuzhu felt ridiculous.

"Yes, I just want to test you. Let me ask you, since you know a lot of people, you must also know a lot of things. Do you know where the other courtyard of Prince Jane's Mansion is located in Songshan?" Li Fangcao Pursing his lips, he looked like he was trying to judge the other party.

Wuzhu stared at her for a long while, then burst out laughing, pointed her whip at her face, and said, "I know! It's obviously an excuse to test me, and you don't even know the way!"

When Li Fangcao was exposed, she blushed immediately and said angrily, "I just don't know the way, so what! I'm not from Beijing, so it's strange that I can't know the way. Don't tell me you don't know the way either?"

Wu Zhu smiled and said, "Of course I know it, but why should I tell you?"

She smugly shook her whip, deliberately did not answer, with a relaxed face, suddenly thought of a question, and asked immediately: "What are you looking for in the other courtyard of Prince Jane's Mansion, do you know someone from Prince Jane's Mansion?"

Li Fangcao raised her chin and said, "Of course I know him. The man I fancy is Belle Bozhe from Prince Jane's Mansion!"

"What?!" Wu Zhu's eyes widened.
