Chapter 660: Don’t lose too badly

So he maintained the speed of his horse and moved at the same pace as she did .  The black horse underneath him tightly ran beside her red horse .

He slightly turned his head and looked at her on the back of her horse .

Her hair was blown back by the wind and it fluttered in the air .  There were even a few strands that were blown into his face, bringing a ticklish feeling with it, making his heart feel tickled as well .

“Ah Ning, your riding skills aren’t that great, but your horse is a true thousand mile horse, it can even compare to my Black Clouds Covering the Snow .  I never thought that your West Chu would have this kind of good horse, where did you find it?”

He was a man that knew horses, he could tell the date red horse was not ordinary with a single glance and he couldn’t help praising it .

Chen Ning looked forward and ignored his words .

Na Mu Cuo was not angry and he liked her serious personality, it was just like him .

They both had prized horses and in the amount of time it took to say a single sentence, they had already gone fifty meters .  The horses were slowly approaching the stone stele and the words on the stele began to enter their eyes .

Na Mu Cuo’s smile disappeared as he looked at the ink words on the stone stele with Chen Ning .  They were controlling their horses while memorizing the words in their mind .

There were several hundred people on the field, but there was no sound at this moment .  There was only the sound of horses running across the field . “Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta”, one sound after the other were like hammers falling on everyone’s hearts .

The people on the West Chu stands all had their hearts in their throats .  All the ministers were filled with nervousness, they did not have any hope of victory for this competition .

Now they just wished they wouldn’t lose too badly .

There were even ministers already calculating how to obtain the yearly tribute after this competition was over .  This was double the amount of money!

“Ning’er, you have to win!  You must win!” The Eldest Princess raised her fists at the edge of the stand .  Her heart was cheering for Chen Ning and she unconsciously said it out loud .

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn’t help glaring at her, but the Eldest Princess ignored her .  Her eyes would not move from Chen Ning’s face and she was so nervous that she even forgot to breath .

Although Mo Chuan did not say a word as his calm face did not reveal any strange expressions at all .  However, a person watching carefully could find that his sleeves were slightly trembling and there were water stains slowly appearing on the back of his dragon robe .

The horses ran very quickly and in just a few breaths time, everyone saw two figures pass in front of them .  The two horses had already run past the stele and was in front of the stands, stopping at the same time .

According to the rules, after they passed the stone stele, no one was allowed to turn around and see the contents, so the two of them dismounted together .

There were two rectangular tables placed in front of them with writing utensils on top of it .  There was a pool of ink already prepared as well as two sheets of white paper .

Only on Na Mu Cuo’s table, there was not an ink brush, but rather a piece of black charcoal .

Ye Ting Xuan stood in front of the table and revealed a faint smile to Chen Ning .

Chen Ning found that his eyes contained a deep meaning .  She slightly looked down and found that his little finger was slightly tilted, indicating some kind of number .
