Chapter 65 - 60 Longbow
Watching Li Ang lead the horse away, Pei Jing arched his eyebrows and stopped patting the railing. The girl with willow-leaf eyebrows beside him also squinted, letting go of the grass in her hand.
This was... being outplayed?
The same thought arose in both their minds. Pei Jing’s expression remained unchanged; he stylishly flicked his sleeves and turned to look at another military horse. The girl with the willow-leaf eyebrows, after a brief pause, withdrew her gaze.
The residents of Chang’an in the corridor also noticed the commotion in the distance. Many people, especially the young noblewomen, indignantly exclaimed, "Who is that person? Why is he taking Mr. Pei Jing’s horse? Doesn’t he know that the results of the Imperial Examination are very important?"
"Yes, Mr. Pei Jing has such a good temper! Why should he let him have it?"
Just because he’s my young master.
Chai Cuiqiao scoffed disdainfully. If the situation had been more appropriate, she would have loved to go over and make a few sarcastic remarks, such as, I’m just a passerby. I hope everyone can show more kindness and less malice, and focus more on the work itself.—these were some of the bizarre things she had heard from Li Ang.
While Chai Cuiqiao was silently praying, Li Ang took a deep breath, mounted the horse, patted the Red Horse’s cheek, and whispered, "It’s all up to you now!"
"NEIGH—!"
The Red Horse responded with an intelligent, long whinny, its hooves pounding fiercely against the ground, its mane flying wildly.
"WHOOSH—!"
The riders in the front felt a gust of wind whip past their ears. Before they could even form the thought, What was that streaking by? the crimson flash had already surged to the front.
