Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Of course! But I need to improve the equipment on the horses."

Nie Bing said, "Improve the tools on horses? Aren't there just a rein, a whip, and other tools on a horse?"

Xiao Ce said mysteriously, "That's none of your business."

"How much longer do you need? If you said ten days or half a month, I can't wait that long," Nie Bing said.

That's really what she thought.

Because she received a message before she even set off, instructing her to take action.

She had also observed Xiao Ce.

She felt that Xiao Ce was actually no different from what was rumored in the streets. Although he seemed to have done a lot in the past two days, in Nie Bing's eyes, the prince had just made a lot of boasts and was just an unrealistic and boastful person.

She immediately decided to find an opportunity to take action in the next couple of days.

She was very confident that she could kill Xiao Ce without anyone noticing.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It won't take that long, at most a few hours..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce summoned Da Lei, who was riding a horse to the side.

From the moment Da Lei carried a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone with him, he would write and draw on the paper.

Making iron stirrups in a short time is unrealistic, but making leather stirrups shouldn't be a problem...

After he finished drawing.

Yin Pan'er leaned closer to look and asked, "Your Highness, what is this?"

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "This is the ultimate weapon I've prepared to deal with the Turks!"

"Da Lei, go give this to Uncle Zhong. I saw him with a few old ladies. Tell them to find some hides and make this as soon as possible!"

After receiving the blueprints, Da Lei nodded repeatedly and left.

Yin Pan'er asked doubtfully, "This strange thing can actually deal with the Turks?"

Xiao Ce looked at her and replied, "After I have a match with Miss Nie, you will know how wonderful this thing is!"

Nie Bing's eyes flashed with a cold light as she said to Xiao Ce, "It's actually a competition! What prize does Your Highness plan to offer this time?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It's still one condition!"

Nie Bing's eyes grew even colder as she said, "Any conditions are acceptable?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Of course!"

Nie Bing's eyes were like knives: "If I offered to take your life, would you obediently agree?"

Looking at the aura emanating from Nie Bing, Xiao Ce felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, "Why is this woman so murderous... I feel like she really wants to kill me..."

He said aloud, "Of course... similarly, even if you lose, you must agree to any one of my conditions, how about it?"

Without hesitation, Nie Bing replied, "No problem!"

Yin Pan'er reminded her, "Sister, you..."

Before Yin Pan'er could finish speaking, Nie Bing glanced at Xiao Ce disdainfully: "Pan'er, don't worry. No matter what he comes up with, it won't work! Judging from his appearance just now, he doesn't seem like someone who can ride a horse. You don't know him, but don't you know my riding skills? He's bound to lose."

Xiao Ce sneered, "Miss Nie, you can't go back on your word later."

Nie Bing glanced at Xiao Ce and said, "You should say that yourself."

Xiao Ce's eyes flickered, and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

Looking at Xiao Ce's smile, Yin Pan'er felt her heart skip a beat, and her thoughts were drawn back to that night.

That night, she thought Xiao Ce was a eunuch and there was nothing he could do to her.

Xiao Ce also showed this look and smile.

"Okay, I'll go and make sure those aunties finish making them quickly!"

Xiao Ce was somewhat impatient. After seeing Nie Bing's expression after he wanted to win her over, he left the carriage.

...

Yin Pan'er said worriedly, "Sister, you have to be careful of him... I've seen that smile of his before! He had that same smile when he bullied me... He's definitely up to no good."

Nie Bing looked completely unconcerned.

"Pan'er, don't worry. He was swaying back and forth on the horse just now, clearly he can't ride. Obviously, he's just being stubborn. I'll show you his true colors later! You're just scared of him! After I win, I'll make him a eunuch! To avenge you!"

Yin Pan'er wanted to say something, but looking at Nie Bing's expression...

She stopped talking; she understood Nie Bing's personality.

Nie Bing is the type of person who won't turn back until she hits a brick wall.

...

In another carriage, several middle-aged women whom Lin Zhong had hired were doing excellent needlework.

They cut a piece of leather in less than half an hour and made a leather stirrup according to Xiao Ce's requirements.

Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Ce had them reinforce the needle and thread.

More than half an hour later, the main group took a short break.

Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er and Nie Bing, who were resting under the shade of a tree, and walked over.

"Your Highness, are you ready? Or have you already come up with another excuse?"

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Nie Bing couldn't wait to provoke him.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce's lips curled up slightly: "I'm ready! Miss Nie, let me give you one more piece of advice. I really can ride a horse, and I'm quite good at it! If you lose, don't try to renege on your bet!"

Nie Bing's beautiful eyes turned slightly cold as she said, "I told you! If I lose, I'll grant you one request! Whatever it may be!"

Xiao Ce said with a half-smile, "If it were me, would you be willing to spend a night with me?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, the cold glint in Nie Bing's eyes intensified.

Yin Pan'er's expression also seemed a little unnatural; he felt that Xiao Ce was not joking.

Xiao Ce had this expression on his face when he forced himself on her that night.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "If you don't dare, then forget it. Our bet is null and void!"

As expected, Nie Bing couldn't be provoked in the slightest!

"Fine, let's bet! But if you lose, I'll make one condition: I'll make you a eunuch. Do you dare?"

Xiao Ce smiled, afraid that Nie Bing might change her mind, and said to Lin Zhong, who was following beside him, "Uncle Zhong, go prepare the horses!"

Then, he looked to the side and saw the soldiers craning their necks to watch the show!

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Gentlemen, this Miss Nie Bing wants to race horses with me. If she wins, she will be my woman! You all should cheer me on!"

"If I win, there will be plenty of wine and meat tonight!"

"Long live the Prince! The Prince will surely win!"

...

Listening to the shouts that were like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

Yin Pan'er said to Nie Bing, "Sister Nie Bing, how about we forget about it? I have a feeling that Xiao Ce is up to no good."

Nie Bing said arrogantly, "Pan'er, what makes you think he can beat me? With words?"

Yin Pan'er said worriedly, "You've seen it yourself these past few days. He hasn't failed at anything he's set out to do... When the time comes..."

Nie Bing said with a smile, "Pan'er, you're not afraid that I'll steal your man, are you? To be honest, I don't like him."

Yin Pan'er's face flushed red as she anxiously said, "Sister, what are you saying! That's not what I meant..."

Seeing Yin Pan'er's face turn red with anxiety, Nie Bing said, "Pan'er, I was just joking with you. Don't worry. Even if he were to win by some stroke of luck, I'd rather die than sleep with him. But don't worry! She has no chance of winning!"

“Sister, I’m just afraid you’re too confident and will underestimate yourself, that’s why I’m here to advise you! If you like Xiao Ce, I don’t mind at all… We have such a good relationship… even if we…” Yin Pan’er said.

Seeing this, Nie Bing rolled her eyes at Yin Pan'er and interrupted, "Alright, Pan'er, stop! What are you thinking? I don't know how he bewitched you! Unless I'm blind, I could never possibly be interested in such a good-for-nothing."

...

Seeing Nie Bing and Yin Pan'er holding hands and talking, Xiao Ce fanned the flames from the side, saying, "Miss Nie, are you scared? It's not too late for you to admit defeat now."

He knew Nie Bing, a woman with such pride, all too well.

In his previous life, he had tamed many women like him.

Nowadays, it's not something you can easily control.

Nie Bing looked around and said, "I won't bully you. I'll just pick a horse from your team!"

Xiao Ce didn't say anything, and just smiled and agreed.

Nie Bing said she would just pick any horse,

But it still took quite a while to find one.

Her movements were graceful, even without stirrups.

She held the reins in one hand, turned sideways, and leaped onto the horse.

Judging from that move, he's definitely a trained fighter!

Xiao Ce then slowly and deliberately put the stirrups on.

He then used the stirrups to flip himself onto the horse!

As Nie Bing watched Xiao Ce put on the stirrups, a sense of unease did indeed rise in her heart.

"Your Highness, how shall we proceed with the contest?"

Xiao Ce said to Nie Bing, "We're less than twenty li away. Let's have a race to see who gets to Pingshun City first! Whoever enters Pingshun City first wins!"

Nie Bing originally thought that Xiao Ce wanted to use his prized horse for a short-distance race.

In that case, she has no chance of winning.

However, if it's a long distance...

Nie Bing remained confident. "No problem, Your Highness! If you lose, you'll have to grant me one request! And if you try to renege, I'll force you to do it!"

Xiao Ce smiled and agreed: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond! You don't need to come; I'll castrate myself!"

As they spoke, the two of them got ready.

The orders were given by Lin Zhong.

With Lin Zhong's command, "Let's go!"

The two men rode off on their horses, raising a cloud of dust in the process!

Amidst deafening shouts of "Your Highness will surely win!" behind him.

Xiao Ce rode his horse, galloping away.

This horse is a prized steed, extremely fast and with tremendous explosive power.

With the addition of stirrups, Xiao Ce's body was firmly fixed to the horse.

It was almost like standing up and kicking!

Man and horse become one!

"Wow!" Xiao Ce exclaimed excitedly.

Nie Bing, standing behind Xiao Ce, did not look pleased...

She watched Xiao Ce's horsemanship with a look of shock on her face.

She was utterly bewildered; she had never seen such riding techniques before!

In that instant, she realized she had fallen into a trap.

The stirrups Xiao Ce fitted to his horse not only greatly improved his balance, but also seemed to increase the horse's speed...

Nie Bing whipped the whip in her hand until it was almost worn out, but she still couldn't catch up.

Xiao Ce's horse was excellent, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Ce was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Nie Bing truly panicked.

She knew very well that she was doomed to lose this time.

Since she was destined to lose, she naturally wouldn't want to be bullied by Xiao Ce.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

Normally, he was always surrounded by bodyguards from the Zhenguo Palace, and Da Lei was always by his side.

Now, Xiao Ce has left all these assassins far behind!

This would undoubtedly be the best opportunity to kill him.

When the time comes, finding a secluded place to kill him will be effortless for Nie Bing!

Thinking of this, her murderous intent intensified: "Xiao Ce, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

"drive!"

Nie Bing squeezed the horse's belly with both legs and lashed down with the whip, making the horse go even faster!
