Chapter 131 If you win, I'll give you a pony

Compared with Anxi, the provincial capital is much larger in area and the roads are also very wide, giving people a very grand feeling when driving.

Especially since they were walking on the road leading to the suburbs, the view was even wider.

The horse farm they were going to was located in the suburbs.

In fact, it is not surprising. After all, horse farms need to raise and breed horses, as well as run races. Therefore, suburban areas with beautiful natural scenery, cheap land prices and vast spaces are more suitable for establishment.

This is not surprising, but the urban area is a bit too big, which is very different from Anxi.

Along the way, Qiu Jiang finally got to see the vastness of the provincial capital.

After driving for more than an hour, they looked into the distance and saw endless poplar trees with straight and tall trunks. They had not yet grown lush green, but had already sprouted green buds. However, these tender little buds dotted here and there were already filled with a vigorous vitality of life.

When you get closer, you can see a low building made of red brick and stone. In the center of the arched gate are four big words "Yan'an Horse Farm".

Qiu Jiang originally thought that this place was sparsely populated, but after entering the gate, he found that the open spaces on both sides were full of parked cars, and from time to time, he could see men and women in riding clothes passing by.

It looks very lively.

“There are so many people here.”

Qiu Jiang looked around excitedly, with visible joy in his eyes.

"I heard that this is the most famous horse farm in the nearby provinces. It has a wide variety of horses, a dedicated track, and places for riding horses. The scenery is also quite nice. If you like, I can take you there after we finish talking about business." Ji Mingcheng replied.

Qiu Jiang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Captain Ji."

When she smiled, the silver jewelry on her body would make pleasant sounds. When she got out of the car, she attracted the attention of a group of people.

Probably everyone here has seen people wearing riding clothes, some wearing casual clothes, and of course there are people from other nearby ethnic minorities wearing their own ethnic costumes, but it is rare to see someone as beautiful as her and wearing such beautiful clothes.

However, most of the people's eyes were full of curiosity and admiration, without any malice, so Qiu Jiang also let everyone see it generously.

Soon Ji Mingcheng and Lu Jianian also got out of the car. They were not so handsome that they could shockingly make the gods and ghosts cry, but they were definitely significantly different from ordinary people. In addition, their good taste in clothes showed off their perfect figures, which made people unable to take their eyes off them.

I originally thought there was only one beautiful woman, but who knew there were two handsome guys following her.

The women are beautiful and the men are handsome, it is quite pleasing to the eyes.

Because of their outstanding appearance, the three of them inevitably attracted a lot of attention.

Qiu Jiang didn't know where to go, so she followed them closely while looking around.

After walking about a kilometer, there were more people around, and Ji Mingcheng and the other man also stopped obviously.

Qiu Jiang also stopped.

"Hymen, Sir Ji, long time no see."

A familiar voice sounded, and Qiu Jiang immediately looked to the side. Sure enough, it was Ouyang Chi, the attending physician of her eldest brother.

Seeing him, she took two steps forward and greeted him politely, "Dr. Ouyang, nice to see you again."

Ouyang Chi was not surprised to see her there, and even smiled at her gently.

"Yeah, it's nice to see you again."

He offered his hand.

Qiu Jiang also quickly shook hands back, and the atmosphere between them was quite good.

As the four of them walked towards the stable, Ouyang Chi, as the host who took the initiative to invite them here to talk, gave them a brief introduction to the horse farm.

"This racecourse was opened by my father's longtime friend, Uncle Zuo Xingguo. He knew I loved horse racing and that I happened to be visiting the hospital, so he invited me over. I figured now that we had a venue, we decided to stay here. I didn't think about Jiang Jiang, so I'm really sorry."

I finally got back in touch with horses, so where does the apology come from?

Qiu Jiang quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "You're too polite, Doctor Ouyang. Actually, I like horses too, and I'm pretty good at riding horses. I was so happy when I learned from the car that I could come here to see the horses."

This was something Ouyang Chi never expected.

"I thought girls here didn't really like riding horses."

Ouyang Chi introduced to her the craze for horse racing in Hong Kong. In comparison, he had never heard of it in the mainland, so it was inevitable that he made a misjudgment just now.

"No, I like it very much."

Qiu Jiang defended herself.

Ji Mingcheng also said, "Don't worry, Ouyang. This girl really likes it and has been excited all the way."

"Yeah, that's right."

Afraid that he would misunderstand, Qiu Jiang kept agreeing with him, and it was obvious that she really liked him.

Ouyang Chi smiled slightly, "Then I'm relieved."

"Since Jiang Jiang also likes horseback riding, why don't we have a race together later? There's a race at the racecourse in half an hour, and it's always popular. Uncle Zuo strongly recommends that we go and have some fun."

"Okay, okay."

Qiu Jiang was just dreaming.

Ji Mingcheng and Lu Jianian have been riding horses since they were young, and they are quite good at horse riding, so they are naturally not afraid.

So the four of them went to the dressing room and changed into riding clothes.

In ancient times, Qiu Jiang wore riding clothes, but the riding clothes at that time were very different from those of today, but both were oriented towards convenience of movement.

She went to the dressing room and opened the brand new riding suit. She knew how to put it on at a glance and quickly took off the jingling clothes.

Ten minutes later, Ji Mingcheng and the others were already dressed and waiting outside. The three of them chatted casually.

Just then, I heard a sound from the changing room. I looked up and saw Qiu Jiang coming out wearing tight trousers and long boots.

After coming out, she turned around in front of them and asked, "Am I wearing the right thing?"

"Of course not." Ouyang Chi replied to her.

"That's good, that's good."

Ji Mingcheng's eyes also stayed on her. He couldn't help but look her up and down, with an expression of amazement that couldn't be concealed on his face. He praised her earnestly, "Very beautiful."

I was so happy to be praised.

Qiu Jiang smiled

"Thank you, Team Ji."

Ji Mingcheng raised the corner of his lips in a nice arc, "Then let's go."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing him walking in front with his long legs, she immediately ran two steps and caught up with him. When she was beside him, she slowed down to keep pace with him.

Occasionally, you can hear the two of them chatting.

Close and harmonious, the atmosphere is quiet.

There is an indescribable ambiguity.

Ouyang Chi looked at him in surprise for a while, then turned to look at Lu Jianian.

"They are...this isn't...then why is President Ji so anxious?"

His tone was full of confusion.

Lu Jianian put his fingers to his lips and shook his head at him.

Ouyang Chi didn't know what their situation was. Since Lu Jianian didn't want to say, he didn't ask any more questions.

I just felt very shocked.

Fortunately, he was not a gossiper. After the initial shock, he returned to his usual composure and also exchanged some medical experiences with Lu Jianian.

After arriving at the stable, Qiu Jiang fell in love with a large reddish-brown horse at first sight.

Ji Mingcheng frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Captain Ji, don't underestimate me. Wait and see."

After saying that, she rubbed her hands, walked forward to the side of the big horse, stepped on the saddle, and jumped up with a light leg.

The whole movement is smooth, natural and heroic.

She sat on the horse, pulling the reins, and raised her chin slightly towards him, "How is it?"

The curve of Ji Mingcheng's lips became more and more obvious, and he immediately clapped his hands to express his opinion with his actions.

Lu Jianian and the others hadn't expected her to be so skilled, and they desperately wanted to compete with her.

Qiu Jiang had the same idea, so the four of them went straight to the racecourse.

The racecourse here is not as elaborate as the one in Hong Kong, and it can also be combined with gambling. Instead, a large piece of outdoor land is leveled to form a circular path for the race.

What is unique about this circular trail is that there is a naturally formed lake in the middle, surrounded by dense vegetation. Occasionally, waves form on the lake surface, disrupting the view of the sky. The air with moisture blows gently from all directions, which is very fresh and natural, as if away from all worldly troubles.

Just looking at the scenery is intoxicating enough, not to mention being able to race horses with so many like-minded people.

Qiu Jiang finally realized that there were so many people in this place.

It’s so comfortable.

At the starting point of the horse race, more than a dozen people lined up in a row, with their beautiful and tall horses' tails sweeping back and forth, waiting for the whistle to blow.

She also gripped the reins tightly and waited for orders.

Seeing her attitude, Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows and added a bonus to her, "If you win, I'll give you a pony."

Qiu Jiang was extremely excited, but soon became depressed.

"Captain Ji, even if you gave me a pony, I wouldn't have room to keep it, and my wallet wouldn't allow it."

Even though she was really moved.

Qiu Jiang wanted to cry but had no tears.

Ji Mingcheng chuckled. "What a promising prospect! Now that you've signed the contract, are you still worried about not having the money to raise the pony? Besides, who asked you to raise it? I'll raise it. You just need to spend time with it often and build a relationship with it."

Is there such a good thing?

It would be foolish to refuse then.

She couldn't wait to accept the bet.

"Captain Ji, we must keep our word." Qiu Jiang confirmed with him.

"What? Do I ever break my promise?"

He asked in return, and she felt relieved.

I saw her staring straight ahead with her bright eyes, filled with determination to win and courage to move forward.

We must win today.

She secretly encouraged herself.

After another three breaths, the whistle finally sounded.

"Shhhhhhh-"

"drive--"

Qiu Jiang pulled the reins and rushed towards Ji Mingcheng like an arrow. No matter how fast he ran, she never fell behind.

Sometimes it was even faster than Ji Mingcheng's half marathon position.

Lu Jianian and Ouyang Chi were chasing closely behind them.

They both never expected that Qiu Jiang's mediocre horsemanship was on par with Ji Mingcheng's.

Everyone knows that Ji Mingcheng is a very good horseman. She is definitely the first one in all these years who can fight him so fiercely.

Before the start, Ouyang Chi wanted to compete with Ji Mingcheng, but now he only wanted to fight for the third place and not lose to Lu Jianian again.

"drive--"

He accelerated suddenly, pushing Lu Jianian behind him.

Lu Jianian's brows furrowed suddenly.

He’s fine with anything else, but he absolutely doesn’t want to be last in equestrianism.

Since he has used all his strength, he will definitely not give in.

So soon he also started to speed up and overtake.

Whether it was the two of them, or Qiu Jiang and Ji Mingcheng, they were all fighting each other very hard, making the track, which had been stable but lacking in excitement, filled with smoke and even more intense, making people's hearts tense and cheering for the people they favored.

"Come on, handsome guy in white."

"Come on, little sister, take out those men."

What Qiu Jiang couldn't resist the most was the encouragement and praise from others, not to mention the applause and cheers that were louder than the last.

She exerted all her strength to control the horse, and did not slow down or go around it until she reached a body of water.

Instead, he shouted, "Gee!"

Then, the tall reddish-brown horse stepped on the air with its front legs, leaped up in one step, and quickly crossed the water. Its hooves landed lightly on the ground, and now it had completely put a distance of one horse length between itself and Ji Mingcheng.

Little girl, you are so cool.

Ji Mingcheng looked at her intently.

But he didn't give up and kept chasing her. The closer he got to the finish line, the harder he chased her, determined to come out on top.

The two horses raised their hooves into the air and leaped away.

"Shhhhhhh-"

Another whistle sounded, and the horse came down at a great speed, shaking its head violently, showing that it was extremely tired.

Both of them first calmed the horses instead of asking about the results.

Only after the horses were calmed down did they have the heart to ask who went first and who went second.

"Both of them are super fast, but this girl is a little bit faster."

When Qiu Jiang heard this, she smiled with her eyes curved and felt extremely proud.

"Team Season, don't forget my pony."

Ji Mingcheng accepted his defeat with a sincere heart and gave her a thumbs up, "Don't worry, you'll be there for me."

She laughed even more happily.

Just as she was about to say something else, she heard exclamations from the crowd.

"Oh my God, what's going on over there?——"

“Ahhh, I fell down—”

They cried out in surprise.

Qiu Jiang and Ji Mingcheng suddenly looked in the direction they were looking, and their faces immediately turned pale.

Oh no—
