Chapter 674: Windfall

Because the distance of the box is a bit far from the racecourse field, and it is also relatively high, Zhang Nan also added a vertical telescope in front of the small stand of each box. It is convenient for the powerful in the box to watch the horse race.

Li Er also walked in front of Zhang Nan's telescope, and Li Er was no stranger to this thing, so Li Er also bent down slightly, closed one eye, and looked at the situation in the racetrack.

"Hey, this No. 5 horse is really as miraculous as I guessed, Qingquan, I have a hunch, this horse is definitely the champion of this horse race, it seems that your thousand runs, it should be lost." Li Er looked at the dark-covered horse in the telescope and smiled.

"Yes, what the emperor said is, but this gamble, there are wins and losses, this minister loses, maybe the minister wins." Zhang Nan also said with a smile. After all, Zhang Nan is also very optimistic about the earth horse of the Tang Dynasty that he chose.

Zhang Nan just likes this kind of shock that everyone is not optimistic about, but suddenly a batch of dark horses came out, this is the fun of betting on horses, this is a big upset.

The riders were riding their horses, making the final preparations in the stalls, some sitting motionless and looking ahead, others tightening the reins in their hands.

Only rider number five leaned down and whispered in his horse's ear.

In the hearts of the riders, they also want to win the race, after all, Zhang Nan has already let out the words, every rider is paid a high salary every month, Zhang Nan does this, and he also wants to take a high salary and maintain integrity.

Although each rider's information is now kept confidential, there are no impermeable walls under the sky.

In addition to educating these riders ideologically, the rest is to give these riders relatively high salaries, so as to ensure that they are resistant to external temptations to the greatest extent.

As long as they win a game, Zhang Nan will give them a reward of consistent money, which is also to ensure the fairness of the game.

While everyone was still discussing the number of horses they had bought, one man had already walked to the middle of the racetrack and shouted in his loudest voice, "The horse race is about to begin." ”

Although this sentence was shouted out, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no sound at all, but this person quickly took out the small red flag behind him and waved it at the top of the stands.

When everyone saw it, they all closed their mouths.

Then the referee walked to the side of the run, raised the red flag in his hand high, and then waved it hard.

As soon as the red flag was waved, the stall opened, the riders rushed out on their horses, and the spectators in the stands shouted.

Everyone was shouting the number of the horse they bought.

This is no exception even for the powerful people in the box, after all, each of them has less than a dozen yuan, and more than a hundred yuan of money has already been put out, although it is just for fun, but no one likes their money to be wasted, so they also shouted.

In addition to the generals who are born with a loud voice like Cheng Jin, even Fang Xuanling, who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always maintained his momentum, and even Kong Yingda, a Confucian master, are all shouting with a red face and a thick neck.

For them, horse racing is a rare form of entertainment, although they can't do such a high-intensity horse race on weekdays, but it is good to see, and if they can win the horse they value, it is also a different kind of happiness.

And Li Er, who was pushing the vertical telescope next to Zhang Nan, shouted that the blood vessels in his temples were bulging, and it could be seen that Li Er was also shouting with all his strength.

"Five! Number Five! Number Five! Li Er shouted and patted his thigh, now Li Er has also reached a state of selflessness, and he doesn't care at all that the people of Chang'an City are staring at him.

And Empress Changsun was also aware of this, so she didn't go to the stands at all, although Empress Changsun also wanted to watch the horse race, but she couldn't afford to lose this person. Just now, Li Er was still teaching his daughters not to lose their royal face when they went out, but now Li Er is like a street splash, without the slightest appearance of being an emperor, shouting with a red face and a thick neck.

And Zhang Nan also seemed to be infected by such emotions, and unconsciously shouted the eleventh he was optimistic about.

The atmosphere is a very strange thing, even if it is an indifferent person on weekdays, under the background of the big atmosphere, it will become a little different.

And the native horse from Datang also lived up to Zhang Nan's expectations, running ahead with a unique ride, and even leading the second place No. 5 two positions. Although the endurance of No. 11 is not good, but after all, horse racing is only a short distance, and what is fought is explosiveness and speed, which Datang's earth horse has the advantage.

The short track was not enough to see at the feet of these specially selected racehorses, and soon the 11th was lightning crossing. And at the moment of crossing the line, there was an exclamation of "oh" from the stands.

After all, No. 11 is a horse that everyone is not optimistic about, and the odds are still very high, so most people did not expect this horse to win, and a small number of people who bought No. 11 horse are ecstatic, looking like they have won the jackpot, after all, the principal has tripled, which is not a small amount.

Of course, there are also many people who guess and hammer their heads in frustration, as if they regret why they didn't just put a little more, so that they have more money.

Under the stands, there are all kinds of people in the world, and there are people with any expression.

The top of the stands is naturally no exception, such as Zhang Nan, it is also a small surprise that his thousand guan has changed to three thousand guan, although now three thousand guan is completely not enough for Zhang Nan, but there is a cheap bastard, which is also a small windfall.

In strong contrast with Zhang Nan, it was naturally Comrade Li Er, who lost the horse and had a blue face, and after Li Er saw the No. 11 horse crossing the line, he sat on the chair in the stands in a daze, staring at the horse below.

Looking at Li Er's appearance, Zhang Nan walked to Li Er's side with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, look at the opening point, there are many wins here, how can you always win, besides, this is the first horse, there are three horses today, and the next horse will open in half an hour, do you want to choose another one?" ”

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Li Ercai turned his head.
