"drive!"

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up! Giddy up!"

No matter how much Yunling called out, the horse remained motionless. She...she...she desperately wanted to dig a hole...

Lu Yinghuai tried his best to suppress his laughter. He hadn't forgotten how this man had just boasted about how skilled he was at riding, but this was, after all, his future wife, and he couldn't very well embarrass her. So he smiled and said:

"You need to put some pressure on the horse, yours..."

Yunling didn't hear the rest of Lu Yinghuai's words, only the words "excitement" and "pressure," and like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie, she patted the horse's rump.

Immediately, the horse was agitated and charged forward relentlessly. Yunling was at a loss, and in her panic, her feet even slipped off the stirrups. She desperately tried to pull the reins tighter, but it only made things worse. There was no other way at the moment, so she could only use her special ability to control the horse to prevent any trouble.

But just as this thought arose, the horse's back suddenly became heavy, and she leaned back, falling into the man's arms. The reins in her hands were snatched away, and she was trapped in his embrace.

The horse gradually calmed down, but the heartbeat was unusually euphoric. Yunling couldn't tell whose it was for a moment. She straightened up and moved away from the person's chest. The heartbeat seemed to have decreased by half, but it was still strong.

"If each person makes a fool of themselves once, then we're even."

Yunling knew he was referring to the sick man who vomited on the ship, looking so pathetic and embarrassing. But compared to her, the horse handler, his vomiting was far more embarrassing.

"Next time this happens, you should let the horse turn slowly. You see, when you pull the rope with your left hand, pull on its mane a little, and with your right hand, gently pull it to the right from time to time. That way, it will turn slowly. Do you see?"

Because of his teaching duties, Lu Yinghuai's chest naturally pressed against Yun Ling's back. He had a faint fragrance about him, like the scent of orchids or the fragrance of chrysanthemums in season.

When he spoke, his voice was gentle and pleasant, like a peach blossom gently plucking the strings of a pipa, deep and melodious, unhurried and calming, making people feel comfortable and without any faults.

"Now, do you acknowledge me as your teacher? Hmm?"

The question was asked whispered in her ear. Yunling, afraid of the sour taste, tried to dodge, but couldn't hide anywhere. She replied...

"You've taught so many young women, are you afraid you won't find a teacher?"

“I haven’t even taught Minniang, so how could I have taught anyone else?”

Yunling didn't believe it and didn't continue the topic, instead saying:

"You can get off now. I've learned my lesson and won't repeat it. If others see two grown men riding the same horse, they'll definitely question my identity."

“No, you can’t ride a horse. I have to teach you first before you get off. I have to make you sincerely call me ‘Master’.”

A smile appeared on Yunling's face, but she quickly bit her lower lip to suppress it. "Master"? Who will be whose master is still uncertain~

The fact that Yunling and Lu Yinghuai were riding the same horse aroused suspicion. The few playboys sitting in the stands, with their legs crossed, couldn't tolerate anything innocent.

"Erlang, those two are strange. The one sitting in front is like a woman, weak and frail, and doesn't have the spirit of a man."

Liu Erlang brought the teacup to his lips and sneered:

"That's just a woman, she's only dressed as a man. Look at the man behind her, his eyes are like fire, he cherishes her. It's just riding a horse, why are they riding together? It must be something improper."

The other person countered:

"Not necessarily, not necessarily. There are quite a few men in Bianjing who are into homosexuality. Someone of average build, thin and weak, with a somewhat feminine appearance, is very popular. He might even be a Gemini."

Yunling's sexual orientation successfully piqued the interest of a group of people, who each held their own opinion and argued endlessly. In the end, it was Liu Erlang who made the final decision.

"Whether he is a man or a woman, let him say it himself."

"He can speak?"

"If he won't talk, beat him until he does."

The group, eager for a good show and not wanting to miss out on any trouble, each grabbed a polo mallet, scrambled onto their horses, and charged aggressively toward Yunling and Lu Yinghuai.

"Hey, you guys, let's play polo together."

Yunling opened her innocent-looking big eyes and shook her head in response:

"I can't even ride a horse, and you want me to play polo?"

"You're just too scared???"

Yunling did not reply, but gestured for Lu Yinghuai to leave. However, as soon as the horse took two steps, a group of people surrounded them with polo mallets, trapping them like caged beasts.

"Eh! Eh! Eh eh eh!"

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"

Chen Jie and Gangzi immediately rode over on horseback. Chen Jie, who had been running a business on the back of a knife for many years and was a gangster, always had a stern face and an invisible aura of menace about him. His two shouts made people's hearts tremble.

Liu Erlang firmly believed in one principle: never be willful and provoke curly-haired people, or you will definitely suffer. So he quickly changed his usual "Beat him!" to "I just want to play polo together. I'm in a good mood today. If the side that wins the polo match will receive not only the Valley Master's reward, but also an extra 500 guan."

Gangzi immediately scoffed at him.

"I thought it was five thousand or fifty thousand strings of cash, but it's only five hundred. What are you bragging about? Boss, the old gang leader just sent a message by carrier pigeon, urgently requesting you to go back and inherit the position of gang leader and bring glory to the martial arts world. Let's hurry up and go."

Chen Jie's lips twitched involuntarily. What kind of nonsense was this? This stinky Gangzi must be using this trick to seduce his great-aunt, which is why his great-aunt was willing to take this person with her but not him. How despicable! Why can't he learn this trick?

Chen Jie thought these were all nonsense, but Liu Erlang and the others interpreted them as a mix of truth and falsehood. What old gang leader, what successor to the gang leader position? Could they be talking about some kind of code?

This made Liu Erlang even more interested in Yunling's sexual orientation, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Three thousand strings of cash. If you win, in addition to the reward given by the Valley Master, I will also offer three thousand strings of cash."

"What if we lose?"

“Naturally, it means taking off all your clothes.”

Yunling raised an eyebrow.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

"Okay, it's a deal. Anyone who goes back on their word will never be able to lift it again."

Lu Yinghuai's words of persuasion froze on his lips. He thought to himself that Yun Ling must have her reasons for doing this, and he should understand and respect them...

**

Players in polo are divided into two teams of five, and the goal is to score by hitting the ball into the opponent's goal. The team with the highest score wins.

Yunling's side has five people, but Tang Ling can't ride a horse, so there are only four of them, four against five...

"I can help you. If you win the polo match, I want 600 strings of cash."

"Thank you, but no need."

"No need? Four against five, you're bound to lose!"
