Chapter 6285 first
The intense equestrian competition is about to begin.
The grassland herdsmen began to look forward to it, mainly looking forward to Timur's performance.
In the previous two competitions, one was archery and the other was wrestling. Timur had already achieved two victories and had two firsts. He was only one step away from becoming the first warrior.
At this point, it is the most exciting moment.
However, many herdsmen remember that at many Naadam conferences, many people won two victories, but fell in the last one.
This is because equestrian is a completely different sport from archery and wrestling. On the grassland, although it is a special skill of grassland herdsmen and almost everyone knows it a little, the gap is huge.
A true equestrian master can make the horse move as he pleases, but if the horse is too close, it will be completely abused by a stronger person.
The grassland herdsmen wanted to see if Timur could still take the first place in this category.
Therefore, when Luo Fengtang appeared this time, the treatment he received was completely different from the previous two appearances.
When he was shooting arrows for the first time, Luo Fengtang was very inconspicuous in the crowd, and the one who received the most attention was Erisi.
During the second round of wrestling, Luo Fengtang received more attention, but that was all. After all, his body shape looked very thin. This was in comparison. Not only was he thinner than Als, he was even compared to Eri.
Comparing them, they are quite different.
But the third time he appeared, it was completely different. He was treated like a king. Almost everyone's eyes were on him, and the cheers were deafening.
The contestants who were preparing to participate in the competition have already arrived on the field. They are riding their prepared horses with full confidence.
Luo Fengtang was leading a bay-red horse, which looked quite tall, but compared to other horses, there was nothing special about it.
He already knew the origin of this horse, Zi Yan told him.
However, just in case, he still took the time to check the horse before going on the field, including checking whether the horse had been infected with poison or other adverse diseases.
Luo Fengtang is very familiar with horses. During the days when the National Protectorate Army was stationed near the Tongtian River, he raised a lot of war horses and spent time studying the relevant knowledge about war horses.
He was simply a genius in war-related aspects, with a natural acumen. Horses were an extremely important material in war, and it didn't take long for him to figure it out.
The horse he is holding is a typical prairie horse, which is not the same breed as the war horse he usually rides. However, it is difficult to distinguish the pros and cons. Each has its own strengths.
Luo Fengtang glanced around and saw that the other riders were already on their horses.
He turned over and sat on it, grabbing the reins with both hands, always ready.
"Ready, start!"
After Luo Fengtang heard the referee's voice, he waved the reins with both hands, and the bay-red horse beneath him immediately swung its hoofs and rushed forward.
This is an obstacle race. There are many obstacles on the road, including wooden railings, muddy fields, small slopes, and lit fire rings. They are all random. If you make a mistake in one of them, it means failure and elimination.
Therefore, if you want to win the final victory, you must first make zero mistakes, and secondly, be the first to reach the finish line.
After Luo Fengtang concentrated his energy, the shouts in his ears completely disappeared. His energy was poured into the horse, and he instantly entered the realm of human and horse unity.
How could other riders have Luo Fengtang's superb and terrifying riding skills? They were already at a disadvantage after just one encounter.
The subsequent competition was completely in Luo Fengtang's rhythm. Compared with him, none of the other riders could beat him, and they were all obviously at a disadvantage.
At this time, Qinggeltai's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was chanting: "Fall down, fall down!"
But what made him extremely disappointed was that Luo Fengtang's horse always ran very steadily, without any sign of falling.
He looked at the grassland subordinate next to him and glared fiercely, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, there were others in the stands, especially the drow, who was watching him nearby. He couldn't expose his tricks.
If something happens, you can't punish your subordinates in public.
This made him feel so panicked that he could only retract his gaze and stare at Luo Fengtang. He kept whispering curses in his mouth, hoping that something would happen to Luo Fengtang and his horse would fall down and he would be thrown off the horse.
However, under the cheers of everyone, Luo Fengtang finally reached the finish line smoothly and won the third competition, which was even easier than the previous two!
"The First Warrior!"
"The First Warrior!"
"..."
The grassland herdsmen were already roaring. They only said four words, that is, the first warrior. The voices of thousands of people merged into a torrent, reverberating in the air, making the atmosphere of the Naadam Conference arrive.
reached the peak.
In this atmosphere, no matter how angry Qinggeltai was, he had to take back his trembling hands and stand in front of everyone.
The prize for the first warrior, in addition to honor, is also a specially crafted golden sword.
This golden sword is different from the Iron Tooth King's golden sword held by Qinggertai. At least one third of the First Warrior's golden sword is made of real gold. In addition to the blade, the scabbard and the sword are made of real gold.
The handles are made of pure gold and are inlaid with pearls, agates and emeralds.
Not only is the golden sword itself valuable, but its symbolic meaning is also priceless.
Qinggertai handed the golden knife to Luo Fengtang with his own hands. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He squeezed out a smile on his face and gave Luo Fengtang a few words of encouragement.
Then, he turned around and left as quickly as possible.
All the gold was dear to his heart, and the departure of every piece of gold made him heartbroken, not to mention that the golden knife was given to someone he hated, Uzhina's subordinates.
After he returned to the camp, he quickly issued a few orders.
"After a thorough investigation, what exactly went wrong? Why was Timur's horse intact?"
"Send someone to contact Timur privately to see if he can be bribed."
"Contact the Golden Guards and send someone to assassinate Uzhina. We cannot let her leave the Iron Teeth Golden Tent alive."
Qinggeltai gritted his teeth and issued a kill order. The assassination of Uzhina was the last step. It was not necessary to do it originally, but now, this matter has reached the point where it has to be done.
After this competition, Uzhina's subordinates won the first warrior, and their prestige increased greatly. Many powerful nobles in the Iron Teeth and Golden Tent are likely to overthrow her. After all, Uzhina is also the orthodox princess of the Horqin tribe.
