Strictly speaking, compared to others, Zheng Changning was the first person to show goodwill to him when he first came to Beijing, and gave him 1,000 taels of silver to start a business.

Although this one thousand taels was also given by Prime Minister Zheng to repay the kindness of Lord Jian'an, it is not much, but there are many ungrateful people in this world.

Zheng Changning couldn't get much help from his family, so he had to rely on himself.

Zheng Changning smiled and whistled. His horse came running over from not far away. It turned out that he had been thinking about joining in for a long time.

The more people there are, the more choices there are. When Zheng Changning pulled Ma to join, no one objected, and even Zheng Jiuan didn't say anything.

He only had a problem with Madam Zheng, and had no problem with this half-brother.

"Look, uncle."

Amul pointed at a herd of horses not far away. The other horses were well-behaved, but Ergou was very angry. He circled around and bullied the horses, and it seemed that he was using threats and intimidation.

Zheng Jiuan scolded coldly, "It's just as much of a bandit and bully as its owner."

Rong Tang: "..."

I will endure!

Two more races were held in the afternoon. I don’t know if Ergouzi’s beating, scolding and intimidation of other horses worked, but this time it ran with its tail straight, barely finishing sixth in the middle.

Amul yelled, "Master Gou has broken through the limit of his level."

Rong Tang was still a little worried. Sixth place wasn't good enough.

It should be noted here that Ergouzi finished sixth in the race, but Gu Zhongxun rode his horse to second from the bottom, which finally made Amul say that his horse lacked endurance and had poor psychological quality, and became timid after being bullied by Ergouzi.

King Han was the most experienced in breaking through the air and had the strongest psychological quality. He was in second place without a rider, not because he lacked strength, but because he was used to following Nangong Jing.

The others discussed it and decided they couldn't bear to give up Pokong, and since no one else could control it in a short period of time, they decided to let Nangong Jing ride it instead. His Zhuiyun was higher level than Ergouzi, so Rong Tang considered developing a better synergy with Zhuiyun.

It would have been fine if he hadn't changed horses. As soon as he did, Ergouzi's shrewish temper came out, and he kicked and hit Zhuiyun, chasing him to death. Zhuiyun was a well-educated horse, and he was visibly haggard after being tortured by this hooligan. Nangong Jing felt heartbroken.

"No, we can't do this. My Zhui Yun will be in trouble."

Sure enough, in the next competition, Zhuiyun fell behind. It was not because Ergou was faster, but because Zhuiyun was afraid of being bullied.

Rong Tang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He scolded Ergouzi, comforted Zhuiyun, and apologized to Nangong Jing. Everyone found his anxious look funny.

Zheng Jiuan, in particular, was depressed for such a long time, but suddenly he relaxed and burst into a hearty laugh. He pointed at Rong Tang and said, "Serves you right. You are like the man who raises you. You are as scoundrel as your master."

Finally, Gu Zhongxun came to the rescue. Zhuiyun's heart was already hurt, and only his master could comfort him. It just so happened that his horse was not in good condition, so he let Pokong ride.

It seemed pointless to continue the race, but fortunately everyone had a consensus ranking of which horses would be able to compete.

Zheng Jiuan even said, "There are so many people anyway, at worst this pair of funny guys can just not participate, so as not to hold us back."

The rest of the time was spent on everyone adjusting themselves and their horses' conditions. Pokong was temporarily taken care of by Gu Zhongxun, who also got familiar with him.

The whole day passed like this. Ergouzi was scolded countless times, but he used his arrogance and unreasonableness to tie his master tightly to his back. Seeing his stubborn and unyielding look, Rong Tang suspected that this guy was a donkey that traveled through time.

Amul and Suhe did not go back to the Earl's Mansion with him, but stayed at the horse farm so that they could observe the Western Kunlun war horses up close the next day to ensure that they knew both themselves and the enemy.

There was only one day left, and the horses had to be confirmed. Rong Tang had originally intended to escape Er Gouzi, but when the time came, he was suddenly possessed by some unknown force and brought him along. Everything has its cause and effect.

With the tacit understanding established the day before, Xi Kunlun would basically use the racecourse in the morning and they would use it in the afternoon. Since they were already familiar with the racecourse track, Zheng Changning took them on another mountain trail for training.

There are six people and six horses. Ergouzi's performance is very stable. At this rate, both of them will be eliminated.

Rong Tang was so impressed that during the break, he started cursing, "You idiot! You're ranked last, how can you even participate in the competition? You've got me stuck in the competition too."

Er Gouzi was still gasping for breath, feeling hurt by the scolding. He didn't know whether he was angry or seeking revenge, but he suddenly charged hard at Zheng Changning's horse.

Zheng Changning had been on the battlefield before, so he reacted quickly. His hands were faster than his brain, and he pulled his horse to the side.

Then a strange scene appeared. The collision that Ergouzi had just made seemed to be a feint. He kicked Cao Shangfei with his hind legs hard, and Cao Shangfei was kicked twice. One of his eyes could not dodge and was kicked directly. He looked up to the sky and howled in pain.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Cao Shangfei's eyes became red and swollen in the blink of an eye, and it was obvious that he would not be able to participate in the competition.

Du Shaokang was heartbroken, "Fly on the grass!"

He reacted and pointed at Er Gouzi angrily, "You plague bastard, I will chop you into pieces."

When the sons of nobles travel, they usually carry personal weapons, and the most popular weapon in Beijing now is the Tang sword.

The knife flashed and came towards him. Er Gouzi hid behind Rong Tang and turned around in circles.

Rong Tang came back to his senses and reached out to stop Du Shaokang, "Wait!"

"You're still protecting it? This broken horse can't do anything on its own, yet it dares to hurt its companions."

"But it's number five now."

"So what? It injured all the other horses. So what if it came in first? It's still no match for the Western Kunlun Warhorse!"

It’s like the competition between classmates. If you beat the first one, you will be the first, but you will always be a little bit behind other classes.

“But it’s very smart!”

It's not that Rong Tang has to protect Ergouzi. Although this guy is smart, it is obvious that he has a distorted outlook on life. He is a scoundrel, arrogant, treacherous and scheming. This is disgusting enough in a person, but it is even more outrageous when it happens to a horse.

"Everyone, haven't you noticed that Ergou has a very strong mentality? You horses get squeamish and hurt at the slightest scolding, but Ergou gets even more stubborn the more you scold him, refusing to give in. How could such a horse with such unfathomable moral principles be intimidated by a Western Kunlun warhorse?"

No matter how ferocious a horse is, it cannot be ferocious as a human. Even the beatings, scoldings and insults from this group of people cannot subdue it. What else can hit it?

Nangong Jing pondered, "Yes, Er Gouzi has a strong mentality and is smart enough. Even if he encounters a Western Kunlun warhorse, he shouldn't be intimidated."

They even imagined a scene in their minds where Er Gouzi would compete and kill everyone, kicking all the Western Kunlun horses off the track, and finally taking the lead.

The whole group of people shuddered collectively. It was so exciting.

Although Du Shaokang felt sorry for Cao Shangfei, it was not a serious injury and he would be fine after a few days of rest. What made him even more depressed was that he could not participate in the competition.

"Alright, Master Du, there will be opportunities for you to show yourself in the next few matches.

Rong Tang has always known that Du Shaokang likes Zhao Ling, but for some reason he has never proposed to the royal family. He also hopes to take this opportunity to show his face and let Zhao Ling fall in love with him and marry him.

Du Shaokang had no choice but to scold Er Gouzi to vent his anger. However, Er Gouzi was thick-skinned and didn't care. Instead, he was very proud and even trotted.

Zheng Jiuan warned Rong Tang, "You better keep an eye on it. If it injures another horse, there won't be a replacement."

Rong Tang felt so wronged, "I didn't teach it that!"

Zheng Jiuan muttered, "Just like you, I'm just born bad."

Turning his head away with a smile on his lips, this annoying boy didn't seem so annoying anymore.
