The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1354

Chapter 1354: 658 Complete Victory (Two More Chapters)

What’s the meaning of "living to see the day"?

Definitely watching Tianqiong Academy play ji-ju.

They had no idea a ji-ju match could turn out like this!

The first time they’d stolen Xu Ping’s tricks, using "Xu Ping" to defeat "Xu Ping" had already been quite an eye-opener, and yet today brought something even more intense.

Many among them had come to witness the grandeur of Shengdu’s number one young master, Mu Qingchen, only to have their attention completely hijacked by the newcomer.

It was the newcomer who had thrown them off course last time as well, confirming that saying—what kind of player raises what kind of horse, right?

If the player was out of the ordinary, then damn it, so was the horse!

By the end, Pingyang Academy’s people were utterly out of steam. Their horses getting spooked and fleeing was one thing, but to have them led away by that kid’s horse? Now that was truly frightening!

Han Che pulled hard on the reins, "No! Stop! Stop! Whoa—"

Whoa was no use anymore, the Hei Fengqi horses had all followed the lead horse and ran off.

The lead horse, with its mouth wide open, huffed and puffed as it charged forward.

Come on! I’ll take you flying!

The ji-ju players of Tianqiong Academy couldn’t bear to watch; This creature was no teammate of theirs.

The people in the stands laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.

Those who didn’t understand horses might think this horse was incredibly impressive, while those in the know would realize that as impressive as the horse was, the person who could completely control it was even more remarkable.

In a pavilion on the east side of the stands, adorned with beaded curtains, sat a man in a dark robe, sitting upright and sipping tea; and just slightly behind him to the right, sat a man in an official’s robe.

"How come he didn’t fall off with the horse running like that? Who is that kid?" asked the man in the dark robe.

The man in the official’s robe spoke respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness, I have seen this man before. He is a schoolmate of Mu Qingchen and is said to be from a lower kingdom. He is smooth-talking and once impersonated a doctor to deceive the Duke Residence."

The man in the dark robe asked, "Is this the quack doctor that you said Mu Qingchen brought to the Duke Residence the other time?"

Principal Cen smiled and said meaningfully, "Hey? That’s not quite right. When it comes to finding horses, Tianqiong Academy can’t match half of Pingyang Academy. You’ve rounded up four Hei Fengqi horses, and we were forced into a corner with no other option but to use an untrained spare horse, right?"

The Pingyang Academy headmaster nearly spat blood.

An untrained horse was already this fierce, what would it be like with training—to fly into the heavens?

Boasting like this isn’t fair!

With the Han Family ranking within the top four among Capital City’s noble families, Gu Jiao’s horse outclassed the Han Family’s Hei Fengqi horses, leaving them without a leg to stand on. As a result, her reputation skyrocketed after just one round.

Han Che wanted to use Mu Qingchen as a stepping stone to rise up in status, yet he ended up getting trampled by Gu Jiao instead. Without looking, one could tell just how much blood Han Che would spit after returning home.

With another five or so matches left, after the fourth match, there would be a break of one ’shichen’, and then the competition would continue in the afternoon.

"Change your clothes and go watch the upcoming matches. Our next opponents might be amongst them," Wu Fuzi said to everyone in the attic.

Everyone nodded, taking out the bags they’d brought to change shirts.

With only one private room, Gu Jiao let the others go first as usual. Everyone thought he was just shy and didn’t feel embarrassed, so they didn’t suspect anything.
