For the sake of five hundred taels of silver, Yue Qian set off before Xie Yanzhou.
Xie Yanzhou realized what was happening and immediately spurred his horse to give chase.
The two men moved with agility, riding their horses as if on flat ground. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, leaving behind only two fleeting, carefree, and unrestrained silhouettes, fully enjoying the exhilaration and freedom of riding at breakneck speed.
The Fifth Princess, who was riding over on horseback, was dumbfounded. Was this the Southern Migration Month?
Seeing the Fifth Princess's shock, Nan Yichu kindly explained, "My eldest sister is good at horseback riding, but she's just so-so at polo."
The Fifth Princess was still in shock. If her horsemanship was so good, she must be an exceptional polo player, right?
"Hmph, look at that smug look on his face." Song Suihuan's cold eyes were full of sarcasm, and also concealed jealousy.

Under the colorful banner, Nanqianyue rushed forward first. She gripped the reins tightly and urged the horse to stop. The horse raised its front hooves high and changed direction at the driver's command.
Xie Yanzhou arrived shortly after, saying, "Congratulations, heroine, you've earned five hundred taels."
Nanqian Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you're so honest, this female knight will treat you to that meal."
"Thank you for the honor, heroine!" Xie Yanzhou solemnly clasped his hands.
As the two were laughing merrily, all the contestants rode over on horseback, along with two military officers who were the referees.
"Both teams, get ready! The match is about to begin!" the referee shouted.
