However, this is what the four thought, and even Qu Yuancheng and Xiaolajiao thought the same way… It seemed that from the start, Qin Fang was destined to have no chance of winning at all.
As Qin Fang's cousin, Qu Yuancheng wanted to dissuade Qin Fang from making such a choice…
But his words meant nothing to Qin Fang, who couldn't possibly listen to him, and he couldn't possibly persuade the notorious bad-tempered Miss Hu of Hong Kong Island…
Helplessly, he could only watch the start of this match with a wry smile.
Even though he finally mounted the Flying General that Qu Laosi cherished, he felt no joy or excitement, only deep concern in his eyes.
Miss Hu had a bad temper, but she wasn't a woman with some perverted hobby, at most she liked pranks. At least the lawsuits he fought for her were all because of this reason.
But now Xiaolajiao was so annoyed by Qin Fang that he didn't know what monstrous condition she would propose if she won in the end…
Even though Qin Fang didn't acknowledge the Qu family, he, as his cousin, couldn't ignore Qin Fang and found it hard not to worry…
At this point, Qin Fang rode the Princess of the Dynasty to the front of the track, lining up side by side with Xiaolajiao on Blood Linglong, appearing extremely relaxed without a trace of tension, as if he had already mentally prepared for failure, and thus no longer felt nervous…
"Don't be nervous, that will affect your performance…"
In contrast to Qin Fang's relaxation, Xiaolajiao appeared extremely tense, as if treating Qin Fang as a formidable opponent, her body completely tensed with not a moment's slack.
Seeing this scene, Qin Fang gave an unperturbed reminder, even persuading her, to the extent that an uninformed person might think he wasn't at all involved in this match, rather than being a competitor…
"Shut up!"
Xiaolajiao's attitude appeared quite harsh, perhaps not wanting to hear anymore, she snapped angrily, and later, feeling that wasn't enough, she glared fiercely at Qin Fang, speaking in an incredibly sinister tone, very much like a villain in a movie…
"Just wait, when you fall into my hands, I will make you wish you were dead…"
Xiaolajiao performed very well, with her tone and expression blended flawlessly, almost perfectly expressing what she intended.
Unfortunately, her opponent was not an ordinary person, but Qin Fang… which foretold that her performance was destined to be a tragedy.
"Hmm, very passionate, keep it up…"
This was Qin Fang's reaction, his expression unchanged, his tone flat, but his gaze contained a hint of admiration, which almost drove Xiaolajiao to a mental breakdown even before the race started.
"Ready..."
However, the verbal sparring stopped here, as Fourth Brother, acting as referee, saw that both were ready, and immediately called out softly.
Upon hearing this, Xiaolajiao immediately tightened her grip on the reins, her emotions quickly stabilizing, although knowing her chance of losing was slim, she approached it with the most professional mindset, soon immersing herself in it.
This earned Qin Fang's considerable admiration…
Of course, it was just admiration, as he remained as laid-back as ever, showing no signs of tension.
"Go…"
With this shout, the rather absurdly staked match officially began.
Xiaolajiao squeezed the horse's belly, and the blood-red horse called Blood Linglong let out a whinny, its body like a red phantom, carrying Xiaolajiao's curvaceous figure swiftly forward...
This Blood Linglong, indeed, as one of the top racehorses, demonstrated outstanding speed and responsiveness from the very start, exerting formidable strength and leaving its competitor in the dust.
As for Qin Fang, he wasn't idle.
Though appearing leisurely while preparing, he showed no slackness during the race, squeezing the horse's belly with his legs, and the Princess of the Dynasty beneath him promptly galloped ahead at full speed.
The level of the two horses was clear, as Qin Fang had already verified with the Flying General. The starting speed and reaction speed displayed at the start of the race have already highlighted the gap between the two horses.
In theory, this gap already makes the result foreseeable, with Qin Fang's chance of winning being infinitesimal…
Yet, Qin Fang seemed indifferent, riding relaxed, holding the reins firmly, rhythmically bouncing, occasionally squeezing the horse's belly…
Every action of Qin Fang was very rhythmic, as if the timing intervals, the frequency of actions, etc., were pre-set programs, with almost no deviation at all.
However, his movements were somewhat different from the general riding techniques of a knight, making it hard to detect anything unusual, and certainly, outsiders like Qu Yuancheng couldn't see any trickery at all.
Blood Linglong was indeed much stronger than the Princess of the Dynasty, an undeniable fact that even Qin Fang couldn't refute, so despite both horses starting simultaneously, Blood Linglong established a leading advantage from the start.
And this advantage continued to grow over time and as the race progressed, from initially one body length, gradually developing to two lengths, three lengths… even after three laps, Blood Linglong was leading, much like Qin Fang earlier, by nearly half a lap.
"Alas, Younger Brother Qin has no chance at all…"
"Yes, the difference between the two horses is too noticeable! Jiajia's riding skills are also obviously much better than Younger Brother Qin's…"
As spectators, Qu Yuancheng and the four young masters were watching the situation quite clearly, and with such disparity, if they were in the race, they would have given up a long time ago, seeing no point in continuing to run.
Qu Yuancheng's face also didn't look too good, especially with several people beside him continuously discussing the race, each time reinforcing the fact that Qin Fang was bound to lose.
"Hey, Brother Qin seems to be speeding up…"
However, as they spoke, someone suddenly murmured this.
Qu Yuancheng was slightly taken aback, immediately looking at the two horses racing ahead of them.
Xiaolajiao's Blood Linglong clearly held a significant advantage, but now Qin Fang's Princess of the Dynasty seemed to have some energy left, surprisingly beginning to accelerate, gradually closing the gap between the two horses.
At this point, the race was barely a third completed, with a long way to go before the finish line, and although the speed at which the Princess of the Dynasty was closing the gap wasn't extremely fast, it was quite notable.
With the vision of the spectators, one could estimate that within three to four laps, the Princess of the Dynasty would certainly catch up to the Blood Linglong in front.
Of course, this was provided that Blood Linglong maintained its current speed without any further increase.
The speed of both horses remained incredibly fast, akin to lightning, especially when they rushed past the spectators, the fierce gust driven by their speed showcased the power and impact completely.
This performance of speed and passion was incredibly impactful, resonating with many who enjoyed car racing for the same reason.
But compared to racing in a metal car, this jolting, wind-embracing sprint on horseback seemed even more thrilling, with even Qin Fang finding horseback riding more exhilarating than driving.
"Closer, closer…"
The two horses continued to race rapidly, their speed as fierce as ever, but the distance between them was closing, with the onlookers loudly exclaiming continuously.
They didn't know if they wanted to warn Xiaolajiao or express admiration for Qin Fang's demonstrated horsemanship…
"Wait, Jiajia's Blood Linglong seems to be slowing down!"
However, they weren't entirely oblivious to anything unusual. Previously sulky from their comments, Qu Yuancheng stayed silent, mainly because he was trying not to offend both sides, making it inconvenient to express any opinion.
Not speaking left him staring intently, and this focus eventually spotted some intrigue…
To his astonishment, it wasn't Qin Fang driving the Princess of the Dynasty to accelerate. Given Princess of the Dynasty's level, all were aware that it couldn't match Xiaolajiao's Blood Linglong. Such sustained acceleration would inevitably exceed the horse's endurance if maintained for two or three laps…
But in reality, the distance between Qin Fang's Princess of the Dynasty and Xiaolajiao's Blood Linglong was closing, with what had been close to a half-lap gap reduced to less than five meters after nearly three more laps.
After some simple reasoning, Qu Yuancheng carefully observed for a while, especially as Blood Linglong passed by them a few times, spotting the issue's crux.
"Blood Linglong slowed down…"
The other four were dumbfounded by Qu Yuancheng's judgment and began carefully observing the two horses' speed.
When the two horses rushed past them again in sequence, they immediately noticed the problem, realizing Qin Fang's Princess of the Dynasty was maintaining its original speed, while Xiaolajiao's Blood Linglong had noticeably slowed down…
This deceleration wasn't particularly apparent, difficult to notice unless closely compared, but now with the comparison, Qin Fang's Princess of the Dynasty was continually closing the distance, and Blood Linglong's advantage was almost gone.
Hence… the outcome became obvious. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
