"BOOM!"

With the sound of the first gong, the compet.i.tion was ready. There were still two gongs, so everyone could ride their horses and run.

At that moment, everyone in the camp went to the stables and took their horses with them. They rode their horses to the fence to the northwest of the camp gate and waited impatiently for the gate to open and for their horses to gallop!

"Boss, in a while, you will be able to see the legendary vigorous and das.h.i.+ng figure of 'Gra.s.sland and Wolf'. You have to follow closely, otherwise, you'll only be able to eat the dirt!"

Xiang Yun looked at the trembling war horse beneath Fatty Niu, worried that this horse would never be able to bear Fatty Niu's weight, and fell down along with him.

"Your Highness, today you're wearing this armor, with this bow on your back and this horse jumping, your aura is truly extraordinary!"

Hearing Li Donglai's voice, Xiang Yun had already expected it in his heart as he turned his head and smiled, "Haha, Brother Li, you must be joking. Brother Li just got hit by two hundred slabs at the city gates and broke both your hands. You can still ride and hunt now, that's extraordinary!"

"Ugh …"

Li Donglai's words came to a halt as his expression turned ugly. When he mentioned how he had been violently beaten up by Xiang Yun and had even received two hundred slates, Li Donglai's heart was filled with resentment.

Li Dong Lai forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered in his heart: "Hmph, if you dare break my hands, then I will see how many bones you break later!"

He then revealed a humble smile and said, "Your highness, I was the one who was wrong about the city gate a few days ago. I know that I should have been beaten and scolded, and I will never dare to do it again."

"Oh …" Xiang Yun swaggered with a wave of his hand, "Sure, sure. If you like it, I can give you a good lesson at any time. Don't be polite with me."

"Ugh …"

Li Donglai's expression froze as he gave an awkward smile, cursing Xiang Yun a hundred times in his heart!

Immediately after, Li Donglai no longer looked for trouble to talk to Xiang Yun. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Fatty Niu.

"Young Master Niu, we bet on a horse race last year in the hunting compet.i.tion, you were defeated. How about we bet again today?"

Upon hearing the word "bet", Fatty Niu's eyes lit up. He stared at Li Donglai and snorted coldly, "Humph! How do you want to bet? Let me tell you grandpa Niu and see how laozi wins!"

Li Donglai laughed indifferently. "Let's start with this wooden fence. Whoever runs into the forest ahead of us first wins. How about five hundred thousand taels of silver as the bet?"

"I want to join in too!"

Just as Fatty Niu was hesitating, Xiang Yun suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, Your Highness, you want to partic.i.p.ate as well?" Li Donglai looked at Xiang Yun with some surprise.

He naturally knew that Li Dong Lai was proposing the idea of a horse racing. Although the bet was fake, he actually wanted to use the horse racing to quickly stimulate the medicine in the horse's body.

"Haha, yes, of course, yes!"

Li Donglai immediately had a brilliant smile on his face. He nodded repeatedly and thought to himself, "I was just wondering how I could get you to join in. I didn't expect you to actually come by yourself."

And since the fat cow saw that his boss was taking part in the bet, he naturally agreed without fear!

"The Laws of the Heavens!"

At this moment, the war horse under Li Donglai's feet suddenly bent its body and let out a deep and low cry! Li Dong Lai was caught off guard and staggered forward. If not for his fast reaction, he would have almost fallen off his horse.

"Eh, you beast, why are you so restless today!" Li Donglai quickly stabilized his body and patted the head of the horse while muttering in surprise.

Normally, his horse was very docile. Today, when he was leading the horse from the stables, this guy was quite restless and seemed very excited. At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he couldn't help but feel that something was strange.

The young man named 'Deng Huan' beside him laughed.

"Oh, that's true. This is the first time that my Ferghana Horse is partic.i.p.ating in the Great Games. So it's because it's a bit excited!" Li Donglai had a look of relief.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xiang Yun, who was standing to one side, almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself, "Hmph, is there any excitement now? You'll know what true 's.e.xual excitement' means in a while! "

Inside the camp, the gong had already rung for the second time. Everyone's body slightly straightened as they tightened their legs and grabbed the reins of their horses. Their eyes leaped over the fence and looked into the distance.

At this moment, Fatty Niu was also straining his body. He had a focused expression and a determined look in his eyes, as if he wanted to surpa.s.s Li Donglei and the others.

At the same time, Li Donglai also had a nervous expression on his face as he glanced at Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu from time to time. He was naturally not worried about the outcome of the match, but rather looked forward to the upcoming show.

At this moment, only Xiang Yun had a completely different expression from everyone else! He sat on the horse's back and looked up at the forest. He looked relaxed and was humming a little tune.

The latter even asked Lin Wan'er to pa.s.s him a cup of tea to moisten his mouth before his departure.

Lin Wan'er held a cup of tea in one hand and her nose in the other. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she seemed to despise the tea in her hand.

"Your Highness, here is your tea."

This cup of tea was the liquid that Xiang Yun had personally instructed her to pour out from the black jar. The color was slightly yellow, similar to the color of the tea water.

Lin Wan'er really did not know what was in it. However, Xiang Yun had previously indicated for her to bring this cup of tea over, so she had been helpless about it.

On the other hand, when Ding Zi received the tea, he was content with being on horseback. He leisurely sniffed at it with a carefree and joyful expression. Li Dong Lai, who was beside him, despised him greatly in his heart.

"When are you in the mood to drink tea leisurely? If you really know how to act cool, then I'll see how you continue acting when you fall off your horse!"

Deng Huan, who was standing at the side, also had a naughty smile on her face. She inwardly cursed Xiang Yun for breaking a few more bones. It would be best if he was trampled by a horse.

They forcefully suppressed the excitement on their mounts today as they eyed Xiang Yun stealthily. All of them harbored evil intentions as they snickered to themselves.

At this moment, Xiang Yun had already raised the teacup in his hand, preparing to take a sip. No one noticed, however, that Xiang Yun's left leg, which had been blocking the horse's side, had quietly landed on the belly of the old horse beneath him.

Xiang Yun instantly lost his balance, almost falling to his side. At the same time, the teacup in his hand was thrown high into the air as well!

"Hualalala!"

Instantly, tea flowed like the rain as it sprinkled towards Xiang Yun's side, where Li Donglai and the rest of the Anlin Faction occupied.

Especially Li Donglai, who was standing beside Xiang Yun. Because the tea was being tossed upwards, he had been grinning coldly, and just as a small droplet of water flew into his mouth, a putrid and bitter taste came over him. Li Donglai had nearly vomited on the spot!

"What's going on!"

Li Donglai and the other Eastwood aristocratic children, drenched in tea, all hooted in exasperation and turned to look in their direction.

"Aiyo, Boss, what's wrong!" Upon seeing this, Fatty Niu quickly reached out his hand to pull Xiang Yun up, helping him straighten his body.

"I don't know what happened, but this horse was disobedient today. It almost knocked me over in the stables. Just now, this beast used all his strength to push me out of the stable. He really p.i.s.sed me off!"

Xiang Yun's grumbling voice was not small, allowing the people from the Eastwoods Sect next to him to hear it clearly. The young men who had previously been angry all now wore playful smiles on their faces.

They had already been secretly breathing, so they naturally knew that Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu's horses had been drugged. At this moment, the effects of the medicine had definitely taken effect as the horses began to become restless!

For a moment, no one paid attention to the tea that was being poured on their bodies. Even Li Donglai had to resist the urge to vomit as he swallowed the water back down his throat.

In his heart, he was still thinking about what level of appreciation this fellow Xiang Yun had. He was used to drinking this sort of tea. He had really stayed at the northwest border for too long, sharing the same taste as the commoners.

Everyone's expressions had long been completely captured by the depressed Xiang Yun. The latter currently wore a depressed expression as though he had suffered a great enmity. However, his heart was already revealing a playful smile.

"It's time to watch a good show!"

At this moment, watching the commotion in this direction from a distance away, the corners of the eighth prince's lips curled up into a mocking smile. He turned to look at Xiang Fei, who was also looking in that direction.

"Hehe, big sis, just watch and see for yourself later. See how that fellow Xiang Yun is making a fool out of himself. He dares to provoke my An Lin Party. Watch me make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

"Aiyo, aiyo, royal sister, why are you twisting my ears!"

"You'd better disperse your Anlin faction as soon as possible. A mob is pulling your banner as the accomplice and letting you take the blame for them. To think that you're still so proud of it."

Xiang Chang An's innocent face immediately revealed dissatisfaction as he retorted, "Big sister, you don't know this, but we are brothers. I am their boss, so of course we have to protect them."

"I think you're a fool!"

"BOOM!"

At that moment, a third gong rang out through the entire tent. Immediately, soldiers opened up the fences blocking the path in front of them!

At the same time, the horn sounded and the battle drums sounded. Along with the low shout of the crowd, the horses that were ready to go kicked their hooves and leapt high into the air like horses on a swallow, galloping forward!
