Chapter 1788 - 1391: Who Says Victory Must Come Through Force? (Part 2)

"Miss, do you really want to race horses with me?" Although she repeatedly reminded herself not to slap the young lady’s face again, Gu Changsheng couldn’t resist this provocation!

Darn, she couldn’t care less about bickering with a young girl, but she couldn’t stand others knowing she’d run away without a fight!

Gu Changsheng is not such a cowardly person, even if her riding skills are inferior to this Northern Mongolian girl, losing face is another matter!

Indeed, among the Thirty-Six Stratagems, though "retreat to advance" is one, another effective one is provocation; it’s certainly useful, since she doesn’t have the high awareness to resist!

Gu Changsheng thought she should go back and ask Little Monk Bu Jie for some Buddhist scriptures to study, to cultivate her own mindset!

"I really want to race horses with you!" Landuoer looked at Gu Changsheng and nodded.

"Really want to race horses with me?" Gu Changsheng asked again.

"Really want to race horses with you!" Landuoer frowned.

This girl is really competitive!

Gu Changsheng sighed, "Alright, let’s race then!"

Landuoer didn’t expect Gu Changsheng to agree so readily, so she looked slightly stunned.

"You’re the daughter of the Tashi Tribe, you can pick a horse first!" Gu Changsheng raised her hand and pointed to the stable, showing a gesture of letting her choose.

Landuoer looked at her inexplicably, seeing her calm demeanor, her eyebrows furrowed more tightly.

"Miss, she’s just pretending to be brave, I can see it clearly, she sat in the carriage all the way, looking like someone lazy, her riding skills might be terrible compared to yours, she’ll definitely lose; letting you pick the horse first is also her trying to save face, if she loses later, she can claim the good horses were taken by us!" Ling Dang whispered to Landuoer.

Landuoer heard this and immediately sneered, "Humph! She wants to save face, I’ll let her save face! After all, she saved me!"

"Miss is the kindest!" Ling Dang complimented.

As Landuoer and her maid were selecting horses, Yuan Bao ran over, looking like he survived a disaster.

Gu Changsheng saw Yuan Bao and glared at him, "Why aren’t you guarding the room?"

There’s still the coffin in the room, how dare Yuan Bao be lazy?

"Dear, don’t scold me, I escaped beneath a burlap sack, it was tough, if Shi Wujue hadn’t come quickly, I would’ve been sacked by that Black Man!" Yuan Bao said, wiping sweat mixed with rain off his forehead.

Gu Changsheng laughed upon hearing this, pointed at Yuan Bao, and helplessly said, "You! Have you been teasing that Black Man again?"

"I haven’t! I just saw him guarding Shi Wujue’s door and went to chat with him!" Yuan Bao immediately defended himself.

Gu Changsheng shook her head at Yuan Bao, no need to say more, she knew Yuan Bao must’ve called that Black Man names again, this clueless fellow, calling him Black Man in front of her and the evildoer is fine as he wouldn’t dare deal with Yuan Bao in front of them, but he prepared a sack, and Yuan Bao still insisted on getting closer; he really deserved a beating!

"Don’t worry, dear, that Black Man was scolded by Shi Wujue and is serving at the neighboring door, no one will disrupt our guest room; seeing his fear makes me dare come to you!" Yuan Bao said, patting his chest with lingering fear.

"Mm!" Gu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this; that Black Man may not be talkative, but now realizes not to be hostile, and has reliably guarded along the way, gradually becoming accustomed to it.

"Where’s Shi Wujue?" Gu Changsheng asked again.

"I made him the medicine you prescribed, he’s resting inside!" Yuan Bao replied.

Gu Changsheng relaxed, then saw Landuoer and her maid had already chosen a horse.

"Not bad eyesight, you might lose!" Zhou Mu looked at the horse and praised; he knew the riding skills of his little woman weren’t sincere enough and genuinely couldn’t compare to Landuoer, raised properly with horses!

Yuan Bao heard this, looked at this, then that, suddenly enlightened, "So it’s a horse race!"

"How can you bolster others and diminish our spirit? Evildoer, are you bending your elbow outward?" Gu Changsheng glared at Zhou Mu upon hearing this, turned to Yuan Bao, and said, "Go, get me one of our carriage horses!"

Their carriage horses seem the same as ordinary horses, just a bit fatter, but they are authentic Witch Gu Horses from Southern Border’s Three Palaces! Although inferior to Gale Gu, they’re more than capable of surpassing Northern Mongolian steeds!

This horse race is about two things: equine selecting skills and riding skills!

Gu Changsheng may not have other merits, but self-awareness is not lacking; she more than anyone knows she can’t be Bole, and becoming a knight is a distance away!

Frankly, you can’t expect someone who drove sports cars in a past life to ride horses at the speed of a sports car, can you?

It’s a totally different concept, isn’t it?

"Dear... using Witch Gu Horse... isn’t it a bit unjust victory?" Yuan Bao asked cautiously, rubbing his nose.

"Who says a win must be just? Did you forget what your dear taught you? No matter a black cat or white cat, the one catching the mouse is a good cat! Horse race is the same, winning is all that matters, why mind if it’s just or not? Anyway, I asked her many times, she’s the one insisted on racing with me!" Gu Changsheng glared at Yuan Bao upon hearing this...
