The fairy is fierce
Chapter 14 Ordinary Man Zuo Lingquan
The warm sun is shining.
Zuo Lingquan, led by the clerk, came to the stables at the edge of the stadium.
[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→🆃🆆🅺♦🅽.🅲♦🅼]
There were nearly two hundred horses parked in the stables. The clerk came forward to lead the horses after roll call, and then went to the edge of the stadium to wait for the start.
The eldest princess watched from above, everyone waited quietly, and there was no unexpected incident.
But when the name 'Zuo Lingquan' was read along with the famous book, the clerk who distributed the horses did not bring one to Zuo Lingquan nearby. Instead, he ran to the back of the stable and brought a horse over.
Many young men from aristocratic families who were waiting took a look, what a guy!
I saw that this horse was tall and well-proportioned, with a rounded back. Its body was as black as ink, without any stray hairs. Its four hooves were tumbling, as if it were flying into the sea.
The young masters present all came from extraordinary backgrounds, so how could they not be discerning? When they saw this horse, they knew it was a good horse. Comparing the two, they felt that the horse in their hands was no different from a mule.
"What does this mean?"
"Why?"
…
There were constant whispers outside the stable, and dissatisfaction was written all over his eyes.
The little official in charge of the horses received the order from above and knew it was unfair, so he had no choice but to obey. He waved his hand and motioned to Zuo Lingquan to move the horses away quickly.
But Zuo Lingquan was also quite embarrassed. He thought it was his third uncle who was behind the scenes and used his 'money power' to bribe the little official in charge of the horse.
He has real abilities and doesn't want to be a prince-in-law, so he naturally doesn't bother to take advantage of this.
Just when Zuo Lingquan wanted to change to a normal horse, a tall young man behind him suddenly said:
"Brother, I'm Zhao Huaian. I'm a big person and I'm a little too small to ride an ordinary horse. How about we switch and I let you have a ball later?"
Zuo Lingquan looked back. The young man who called himself Zhao Huaian was holding an ordinary horse with a cheerful smile. His eyes kept lingering on the tall horse, obviously greedy.
Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan followed the current and threw the reins to Zhao Huaian, then took the other's horse.
The little official in charge of the horse was confused and raised his hand to stop him, but he didn't know how to stop him. He couldn't force Zuo Lingquan to ride the horse. There were all princes and nobles present, so it would definitely arouse public outrage. He He could only turn his gaze to the top of the terrace.
Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu on the terrace were also stunned.
Leng Zhu stood up: "Hey, eh, that's not right. Why did he give the horse to someone else? Is he stupid? He doesn't want to ride such a good horse?"
Jiang Yi was equally anxious and wanted to ask the two of them to switch horses.
But if she opens her mouth now and appoints Zuo Lingquan to ride the good horse, then there is no need to choose the consort. It is estimated that everyone will understand the meaning and just appoint Zuo Lingquan as the consort.
As a result, the master and servant could only watch as their carefully prepared horses were moved onto the court with great amusement by Zhao Huaian.
------
clang--
Everything went on in an orderly manner, gongs sounded on the terrace of the high-rise building, and everyone's eyes were focused on the old eunuch's hands above the terrace.
On the court below the high-rise building, forty people were riding horses, holding clubs, waiting with blazing eyes. They were also wary of the people around them. Among them, Zhao Huaian stood at the front, with a tall horse and a tall body. At first glance, he looked taller than everyone else. All high up.
Zuo Lingquan did not fight for position. He rode a horse and stood at the back, holding the bat on his shoulder with one hand. His posture was a little loose and he felt a little careless.
The third uncle, Zuo Hanchou, was sitting in the desk. He clapped his legs anxiously when he saw this scene. He was about to remind Zuo Lingquan to serve snacks when the old eunuch on the terrace had already thrown the polo ball in his hand.
The sepak takraw ball made of bamboo and rattan and tied with colorful ribbons drew an arc in the clear sky under the warm sun and fell into the center of the court.
Everyone on the court began to get restless and quickly rushed towards the landing point of the polo ball, scrambling to be the first. From time to time, they relied on their extraordinary riding skills to block the progress of those on the left and right with their horses.
But just as everyone was galloping to grab the polo landing spot, a few people in front suddenly saw a fast-moving shadow appear on the green ground, and screams were heard from the surroundings.
"Wow……"
"This young man is really..."
The people in front looked back and were shocked to see a white figure rising into the sky from behind the horses. His robes fluttered like an eagle striking the sky. He jumped nearly ten feet on the horse's back and intercepted the polo ball in mid-air. .
Bang——
There was a muffled sound on the pitch where horses' hooves were churning.
I saw the young man in white leaping into the air, holding shoulder-length clubs in both hands, and violently volleying in the air.
The stick supported by the pewter pole was pulled by the huge force into a crescent moon.
The end touched the sepak takraw ball, and the sepak takraw ball instantly turned into a sharp arrow that shot off the string and shot towards the opposite side of the court, hitting the garland hanging in the air!
"Oh——"
There was an uproar.
The sons of the aristocratic family, who were still galloping on their horses, had their mouths wide open, and their eyes were full of shock as they looked at the white figure that gracefully fell back on the horse.
Can you still play like this?
Isn't this a shame?
"Beautiful! As expected of my nephew..."
Zuo Hanchou, the servant, was overjoyed when he saw that his nephew had really made a splash. If it weren't for his poor legs and feet, he would have jumped on the table and performed a coquettish and lascivious court dance.
Jiang Yi had seen Zuo Lingquan's unparalleled explosive power, and was shocked to see this, but not surprised.
Leng Zhu opened his red lips slightly, dropped the brush in his hand and said in disbelief:
"This... my God, I have never seen this scene in my life, and it is so handsome... Ouch~"
Jiang Yi's face darkened slightly, she raised her hand and gave Leng Zhu a headache:
"I asked you to do something, what did you do?"
"I...I..."
"You think you can become a prince consort just by relying on your martial arts skills? He thinks so well. Even if I'm blind, I won't choose him..."
Below the high-rise building, Prime Minister Li Jingsi was obviously startled by Zuo Lingquan's soaring into the sky. He turned back to look at Li Cang:
"Cang'er, you call this an ordinary person? What is the true nature of that? A monkey in a tree?"
Li Cang was also confused and unsure:
"Hmm... Rumor has it that he has no cultivation background. I'm not too sure about the details."
Li Jingsi was about to tell Li Cang to pay more attention when, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a lonely horse standing there at the starting point below the tall building.
The spectators in the surrounding area came to their senses from Zuo Lingquan and gradually noticed the completely different figure on the side of the field.
I saw that majestic and extraordinary horse standing on the court with its head held high, its hooves as if rooted in the earth, as steady as a mountain and motionless.
But as a horse, motionless is obviously not a good adjective.
Zhao Huaian sat on the horse with a bat in his right hand and a riding crop in his left hand like an iron tower. His face turned red and purple, and he did not make any movement, but his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Obviously, Zhao Huaian's horse didn't move at all just now.
Seeing the rise of Yuntai, the princes and nobles all turned their eyes towards him, and if he didn't do something, it would be a joke. Zhao Huaian quickly put away the bat, raised his hand and clapped it, cheering:
"Young Master Zuo is very skilled. Zhao has already conceded a goal. He is going to do something serious next. Young Master, be careful."
Zuo Lingquan didn't pay attention to Zhao Huaian just now. He really thought that Zhao Huaian didn't move because he was deliberately letting him go. He cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your permission."
Zhao Huaian smiled heartily, but looked at the fierce horse sitting down, with big beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Apparently he was begging his grandfather to tell his grandma, and praying that the horse would not do anything bad.
After scoring a goal, according to the rules, the old eunuch on the terrace would immediately throw the second one, but he was surprised by Zuo Lingquan just now, causing the game to be suspended for a while.
At this time, the old eunuch on the terrace was holding the sepak takraw ball and was about to throw it again, but before he could throw it, he turned back and listened, thinking it was the eldest princess speaking.
Everyone waited quietly. When the old eunuch turned his head again, he said kindly:
"Young Master Zuo is really good at martial arts, but the purpose of fighting is to strengthen the body and everyone participates. If you fight like this, the other young masters will have to go back to the stands and become spectators. From what I see, this is a suspicion of bullying the weak by relying on martial arts. You need to How about we change the rules so that the sepak takraw ball can only be taken after it bounces off the ground?"
Everyone on and off the court was stunned when they heard this.
Is this the eldest princess scolding Zuo Lingquan for bullying others with his martial arts skills?
This is great news!
The children of the aristocratic family, who had been shocked and lost confidence by Zuo Lingquan, looked at each other with enthusiasm and almost shed tears of gratitude. They loudly praised the eldest princess for her understanding of justice and standing up for them.
Zuo Lingquan was relieved when he heard this.
He had just come out to the limelight, just to show off first and not to disappoint his third uncle who was full of expectations for him. In his heart, he was actually worried about being favored by the princess.
Since the eldest princess is dissatisfied with his push for the limelight, it means that she will definitely not choose him. Next, she will just fish quietly.
While everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, the old eunuch threw the sepak takraw ball again.
The nobles on the court galloped towards the spot where the sepak takraw ball landed. Zuo Lingquan also joined them, fishing and paddling seriously.
But just when the situation was tense and everyone focused their attention on the flower basket, they completely failed to notice that Zhao Huaian was still as steady as a rock at the starting line in the second half.
Below the tall building, Zhao Huaian's face was livid, and he had been trying his best to encourage the horse to sit down.
Seeing that after half the time, the horses still showed no intention to obey, Zhao Huaian couldn't help but feel anxious.
Zhao Huaian's elders also noticed that something was wrong with him. When no one was paying attention, he ran to the edge of the stand and yelled angrily:
"Huaian, why are you in a daze? Come over quickly!"
Zhao Huaian was sweating like rain and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. After he tried his best and still couldn't do anything to the horse, he was heartbroken. He pulled out the hairpin from the bun and stabbed it directly into the horse's buttocks.
"Hiss——"
The fierce horse raised its front hooves and neighed.
The black horse finally moved under the thorns, but this movement was not a good thing.
The sharp sting caused the already stubborn black horse's hair to explode, and it jumped and writhed on the spot, scurrying around in an attempt to throw off the person on its back.
"What happened? The horse was frightened."
The surrounding officials heard the neighing and looked around, all shocked.
It's not a trivial matter for a horse to be frightened. It can cause someone to fall off at worst, or run rampant and cause harm to innocent people. It doesn't take an experienced rider to stop it.
The tall horse in front of him was so crazy that ordinary people would not even dare to approach it, let alone stop the horse.
Zhao Huaian knew that this move would frighten the horse, and it was just to give him a step down. Afterwards, he said that if the horse was frightened, it might be able to enter the next competition, but he did not expect the horse to be so strong.
The dark horse writhed wildly on the edge of the court, knocking off the bat that Zhao Huaian threw. He lay down and hugged the horse's neck, trying to stop the horse forcibly, but it had no effect at all. He could only barely prevent himself from being thrown off.
The black horse rolled back and forth without throwing Zhao Huaian off. He turned around and rushed out of the stadium and jumped into the stable where the horses were parked.
The stable was very large, with wooden fences and tethering posts inside. The black horse jumped and crashed between the fences like crazy. Within a moment, some wounds were made on his body, and Zhao Huaian on his back was even more miserable. The skin was scratched and the flesh was torn apart.
On the high-rise building, Princess Longli also discovered something strange:
"What's going on? How could this horse go crazy? How did you arrange it?"
Leng Zhu was also baffled. This horse was specially borrowed from the arresting department. She had hunted down countless ferocious beasts. She was obedient and protective of her master. Who could have imagined that it would suddenly become like this?
"I just told the horse not to move..."
Jiang Yi saw that if the fuss continued and someone would die, she raised her hand and called for the guards, hoping that they would come down and help.
But before the guard could run down the stairs, a horse galloped over from the court and rushed towards the stables.
Jiang Yi looked up and couldn't help but be startled:
"What's this guy doing here?"
————
Zuo Lingquan was fishing on the court and naturally discovered the movement in the stables.
In his opinion, the black horse was prepared for him by his third uncle. If the horse is frightened and hurts someone, he is responsible.
Moreover, playing polo is about riding skills. If you fall off the horse or leave the field, you will automatically be eliminated.
Zuo Lingquan didn't want to be a prince-in-law, so there was a legitimate way to lose the election before him. Naturally, he did not hesitate. The Pegasus came outside the stable, dismounted, ran on foot to the vicinity of the rampaging horse, and took the condom from the little official's hand. Ma Suo, jumped up to the fence with a single stride, raised his hand and threw the noose, and accurately caught the neck of the fierce horse.
The horse was extremely powerful. Zuo Lingquan grabbed the lasso with both hands. His boots stepped on the muddy ground and two grooves were made on the ground. His palms were also bloodshot from the rough hemp rope.
However, Zuo Lingquan was also very powerful. This move also stopped Liema for a moment. Seeing this, he quickly spoke:
"Come down quickly."
Zhao Huaian was covered in blood and almost frightened. He quickly threw himself to the ground, rolled over, got up and ran out.
The fierce horse was aroused and wanted to trample Zhao Huaian, but was dragged out of position. Seeing Zhao Huaian escape, he turned around and bumped into Zuo Lingquan who was pulling the rope.
The fierce horse is obviously smaller than the ferocious beasts encountered a few days ago.
Zuo Lingquan refused to dodge. When he got close to him, he raised his hand and punched the horse on the head. Then he turned around and staggered away from the charging horse.
After the crazy horse ran a few steps, it fainted under the heavy blow, staggered and fell to the ground, and the chaos in the stable ended abruptly.
"Good skills..."
The nearby officials saw that the fierce horse was stopped and gave out several praises.
On the terrace, Jiang Yi saw Zuo Lingquan successfully stopping the horse, frowning with a complicated expression.
Leng Zhu was sitting next to her, also looking over. Seeing that the princess was silent for a long time, she opened her mouth and said:
"Princess, what happened last time that Zuo Lingquan killed the ferocious beast in Linhefang is probably true. He has the ability, the courage, and more importantly, the chivalrous heart. Even the prince-in-law can't argue with him. He is such a good person for risking his life to save others.”
There was no expression on Jiang Yi's face, and she was silent for a moment before humming softly:
"You know people, but don't know their hearts. Don't be fooled by appearances."
Leng Zhu pursed his lips: "If you dismount and leave, you are already out. How can you lie to the princess? You see, he has gone to the stands, what a pity..."
Jiang Yi pursed her lips, her eyes hesitant.
She has always been clear about rewards and punishments. No matter how much she hates Zuo Lingquan, even when she abstained from saving others just now, she should not deprive him of the opportunity. This has nothing to do with love or hate, but the principle of dealing with others.
After Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, she finally spoke:
"Seeing that he has some conscience in saving people, give him another chance... let's replace the seven-stone bow prepared with the same one as the others, so as not to make another mistake."
Leng Zhu practiced horsemanship and archery, and prepared a strong seven-stone bow for Zuo Lingquan that required a thousand pounds of force to pull open.
Seeing that the princess changed her mind and didn't want to make things difficult for Zuo Lingquan anymore and gave him a chance, Leng Zhu's eyes lit up:
"Princess, you really understand justice. If Zuo Lingquan comes out on top in all his next projects, will you choose him as your consort?"
When Jiang Yi heard this, she immediately came to her senses.
Choose Zuo Lingquan as your consort?
He thinks beautifully!
If you haven't avenged the revenge of being held down and spanked, how can you be held down again...
After all, Jiang Yi was innocent, her face suddenly turned red, and then darkened again:
"What nonsense are you talking about? He wants to be my consort like that? Being an eunuch is more like it. I asked him to stay, just out of fairness and giving him a chance."
Leng Zhu sighed secretly in his heart and said again:
"The Zong family can't push it anymore. For such a big occasion, calling all the suitable young talents here is to force the princess to make a decision. She must choose a consort. If the princess doesn't choose the young master Zuo, she will also like someone else. ?”
Jiang Yi knew that the court forces who were not of the same mind as her must have laid a lot of hidden secrets among the candidates.
The consort was Jiang Yi's bedfellow, and accidentally choosing a mole would not only affect the future situation in the court, but also ruin her life.
If Jiang Yi didn't want to choose a mole with ulterior motives, she could only choose from those young men from aristocratic families with clean backgrounds, and among these people, Zuo Lingquan was nothing short of outstanding.
But the day before yesterday, this guy used some dirty tricks to trick her, and he even held her down and beat her...
Jiang Yi hesitated for a long time, then said coldly:
"I won't choose Zuo Lingquan anyway, and I won't choose him if I choose a nerd."
"oh……"
Leng Zhu felt a little sorry for Zuo Lingquan, but as a maid, she had no right to make the decision when the princess was choosing people, so she could only secretly say that it was a pity...
------
Ding——
Not long after the fierce horse was subdued, the competition on the court came to an end.
Most people's eyes were still on the court. Qiyun Pavilion was too big, and most people didn't notice the chaos in the stables, and even if they noticed, they didn't care.
As the dismounting was over, the old eunuch read out the names above.
Zuo Lingquan had dismounted and waived, and thought he had nothing to do. He patted his clothes and prepared to go back to the stands, but he never thought that the old eunuch said above:
"Qinghe County Zuo Lingquan scored a goal, although he dismounted and left the court, there was a reason for it, and no one will pursue it..."
Zuo Lingquan paused, spread his hands and had nothing to say.
Well, I have to continue acting...
