474 The Yellow Finch is behind

As soon as the news came out, the crowd that signed up became even more enthusiastic, and many people who didn't plan to participate in the competition also took the lead. They think that there is definitely no danger with Lord Shuaiji, and they have to avoid any blizzard, this is a demigod!

Not only does it have a spiritual effect, but it also has a material stimulus. Lord Shuai Si said that whoever can win will be rewarded twice, and there will be no punishment if he loses. Why not try your luck at such a good thing, the Northland in winter is dangerous, but it is not invincible.

Three days later, thousands of people gathered in the west of Liangzhou City, all kinds of things, and the tools for participating in the competition were also varied. There are horseback riders, and this is the daring of the artists who intend to win the race in the fastest way.

There are white camel riders, which are not only drought tolerant, but also have one more skill than their cousins, the Bactrian camels, which are resistant to low temperatures. Even in a blizzard, it can still survive for several days, even if it is buried in a snowdrift, and as soon as the wind and snow stop, it can still stand up and leave. It's just that camels have a slow temper and can't go fast, but they are much better than horses.

The number of people who choose to use camels to participate in the race is relatively large, they pay more attention to safety, anyway, it is not a short-distance race, more than 200 miles back and forth, compared to endurance.

There are also dog sledders, most of whom are relatively wealthy families, otherwise these large mastiffs alone cannot be fed. However, there is a disadvantage to doing so, and according to the rules of the competition, anyone who uses the equipment must participate in at least two pairs. In other words, only one person on the sled can not be made, which greatly weakens the advantage of the sled.

Hong Tao's most special tool is a wind-powered ice sled lying on the ice. According to the regulations, there must be more than two people, and there are ten people on his ice car, which fully meets the requirements of the competition.

As for saying that the sled is too big and fits twenty people, then it doesn't matter, the rules are set like this, it doesn't say how big the tools can be, and it doesn't say that you have to walk on the snow, no one cares if you have the ability to fly, as long as you can.

"Official, this is cheating!" Others may not know the speed of this ice sled, but Chen Niang must know that she has been on it more than once. But why did she object? Because of envy, jealousy, hatred!

The officials did not take her to this competition, but only brought Sidi and eight special forces, the reason is that the competition stipulates that the participants must be at least 15 years old and cannot exceed 45 years old, so as to prevent anyone from being carried away by interests and sent to death in vain.

"Silly girl, where is your official going to the competition, he deliberately wants to avoid us." Fuji was also not selected for the team, but she was neither envious nor jealous.

"Why are you avoiding us?" Chen Niang doesn't agree with this reason, she is her adoptive father's most beloved daughter, and she can take it with her when she goes out, so what can't she bring.

"It's not the she-leopard's fault...... You'll find out when you're a freshman. Fu Ji really didn't eat Sidi's vinegar, on the contrary, she preferred that the colt would not pester herself all day, and that it would be better to have some rain and dew.

At this point, she has never worried about being left out in the cold, and she has no intention of competing for favor. On his own terms, it is a blessing to be carried into the mansion by the horse from the main gate and get the approval of the eldest princess, and no matter how much he really dares to hope for.

"Chen Niang understands, is Sidi forced to review her homework by the officials like Sister Lian'er?" It's a pity that Chen Niang is really not an ordinary child, although she doesn't know much about men and women, she can't help but grow up in the eldest princess's room in the Horse Mansion, and she can be said to be well-informed.

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, go, tell your aunt about your clan, maybe your aunt will also meet the clan who speaks this kind of thing in the future, and then you can let them come to Liangzhou to find you."

Fu Ji's face turned a little red when she heard this, she also understood what it meant to review her homework, and she had reviewed it more than once, and if she continued to talk about this issue, she would be talked about by Chen Niang if she didn't keep it.

The result of the race can be calculated with the big toe, as soon as the departure horn sounded, the black crowd rolled north along the west bank of the Shiyang River, and the ice sled lying on the glacier was still carrying goods, basically supplies.

Even if Hong Tao knew that there would be no big accidents, even if he encountered a snowstorm, he would still be able to slide back down the glacier, and he still had to prepare enough food and solid alcohol for fifteen days to eat and drink. I also confessed to the li, and if I didn't come back for more than three days, I immediately searched north along the Shiyang River, and there must be no mistake.

But half an hour later, the sled rushed down the glacier as if it had grown wings, and in less than ten minutes there was no shadow in sight.

After more than 230 miles of round-trip, Hong Tao only took two days to complete. This is still cruising speed, and there is no rush at night, otherwise I can come back the next morning without even delaying breakfast.

No one accused Lord Shuai Si of abusing power for personal gain, everyone has seen the speed of the sled, this thing does not need to eat or drink, as long as there is wind and the sails are not broken, it can really run for seven or eight hours a day without rest. No wind? That's impossible, winter in the Northland can be without sun and snow, but there will be no wind.

The only thing that can limit its speed is the manpower, if only one person is allowed to participate in the race, it is estimated that it will not be able to run so fast, after all, people can't blow from morning to night like the wind, they always have to eat and rest.

Now what people can do is to hurry to the city gate to read the notice, see if Lord Shuai Si has fouled, if not, and then see what the second place reward is, a hundred acres of land will definitely be gone.

There are also some clever ones who try to get close to the strange guys on the ice, trying to take a closer look at the structure, and wonder if they can make a replica, even if it is not so big, it can be smaller.

The announcement said that this event will be held every year with the football league held in the summer, and it doesn't matter if you can't get a good ranking this year, summarize experience, improve equipment, and fight again next year and the year after.

"Bring it!" Sidi had just returned to the bedroom, and before the smile on her face had yet to fade, a small hand reached out in front of her.

"What?" Looking at Chen Niang's gloomy face, Sidi felt that it must be fine.

"Title deed, a hundred acres, owned by the queen!" Chen Niang made a very unreasonable request with righteous words.

"Why? This is won back by subordinates, it is private property! Of course Sidi wouldn't give it, and subconsciously covered the small leather bag on his belt.

"Hmph, it wasn't you who won at all, this was given to you by the official! You and the officials secretly review your homework, if I write to the eldest princess, what do you think will happen to you? The eldest princess is the wife of the official, or the sister of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, without the permission of the eldest princess, you can secretly review your homework with the official, this is a capital crime, understand! ”

Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, Chen Niang has learned the technique of fooling people vividly, 80% of the words are true, but they don't make any sense, the most important 20% nonsense is the key.

"......" Sidi was dumbfounded, what Chen Niang said did sound very reasonable, but a hundred acres of land, I was really reluctant to hand it over.

"I'm not stealing it, these lands are considered public property of the clan, and they will be kept by this queen for the time being." Seeing that Sidi had begun to hesitate, Chen Niang added another weight to the scale.

Frozen and tired, he had to cover his mouth and fight hand-to-hand with Lord Shuai Si on a snowy night, for fear of being heard by the special forces in the same room, and in the end all the property was confiscated.

"Hmph, let you secretly go to Kaifeng to hug the thick legs without the queen of this queen, wait, this is just to charge some interest, and the big head is still behind!" Chen Niang outside the house had a wicked smile on her face, and walked towards the room of the three princes with the title deed.

In order to prevent the title deed from being taken away by the officials again, she plans to spend it first. But what is worth a hundred acres of land? This matter had already been negotiated before Sidi returned.

The three princes promised that no matter which of them sat on the throne in the future, they would make Chenniang a senior official who could not be lower than Zhizhou, and use it to repay the value of this hundred acres of land. And this title deed became the pocket money of the princes, who could use the money obtained from the transfer to buy the toys, snacks, and clothes they wanted.

Since they came here, the three princes have been like the children in the children's group, they only have a fixed amount of expenses every month, and they are pitiful, and the sum of the three of them is not enough for one person to spend.

Except for the necessities of life, the children's group does not distribute anything, and additional needs can only be bought with money. No Liangzhou person will give away anything for nothing just because you are a child of the children's group, let alone reveal the identity of the prince, which is difficult for them.
