233: Brilliant in front of others, but silently licking the wounds behind others
it hurts!
Feng Qingchen was in so much pain that tears came out.
The inner thigh had already become red, swollen and broken due to the friction, and was seriously injured. The slightest touch would make me cry with pain, not to mention the sudden movement.
At this moment, Feng Qingchen felt as if someone was cutting the flesh on the inside of her thigh with a knife. The smell of blood was overwhelming, both from the wild horse and from her.
Countless times, Feng Qingchen wanted to move her legs slightly to alleviate the injury on the inside of her thighs, but it was just a thought. Not only that, she had to squeeze the horse's belly even harder.
If she let go, she might fall, and she couldn't afford the risk because the stakes were her life.
Her trouser legs were all wet with sweat but more of it was blood, her Feng Qingchen's blood.
Plop, plop. The blood drops fell and were immediately absorbed by the dust on the ground, and then trampled into the ground by the horse's hooves. No one saw it. Even if they saw it, they would only think that it was the sweat of the Ferghana horse.
Besides, even if they knew it was Feng Qingchen's blood, what would it matter? Would they call a halt? Would anyone present stand up to block Feng Qingchen?
No!
No one would stand in front of Feng Qingchen, no one would stop just because she was in pain or injured. The people present would at most sympathize with her, and nothing would happen afterwards.
Feeling wronged?
Feng Qingchen felt really aggrieved, but what could she do about it? Not to mention helping her, there was not even anyone to comfort her.
God knows how much she wishes there was someone who could hug her and say, "Feng Qingchen, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
"Feng Qingchen, that's wishful thinking." Biting the reins with his teeth, Feng Qingchen freed his hands and tried to take out the tranquilizer from his sleeves.
Because the horse was galloping and her hand was rubbing the horse's neck, it was as difficult for Feng Qingchen to just take a tranquilizer as picking stars. The only advantage was that this direction was on the inner side of the horse field, with her back to the audience seats.
"What is Feng Qingchen doing? Why is she holding the horse's neck instead of taming it right now? Is she scared silly?"
"Feng Qingchen, you are a pig, tame the horse quickly!"
"Is Feng Qingchen too tired to have any strength? If so, she will lose. The horse is about to be tamed, will she fail at the last moment? If she loses, she will have to give her hands to Princess Yaohua."
…
As the ancients said: Bystanders see clearly, while those involved are confused. But Feng Qingchen said that these bystanders are worse than pigs and dogs.
What else can this group of people do except applaud when she performs well, sigh when she performs poorly, and then blame her indiscriminately and make some sarcastic remarks?
tame?
Humph, you all talk without any hesitation. If you have the guts, come down and fight this untamed Arabian horse.
The reins rubbed his lips until they bled, and his teeth were loosened because the horse struggled too hard. The sweat on his forehead was dripping down like water. Feng Qingchen fumbled for a long time and finally found the tranquilizer. As for the handkerchief soaked in the drug, he didn't know where it was.
Feng Qingchen loosened the reins and bit off the protective cover on the tip of the needle with his teeth.
"Pooh!" The taste of the medicine made Feng Qingchen's tongue numb, and when he spit it out he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Feng Qingchen didn't have the leisure to watch, and instead stabbed the needle into the horse's neck.
The horse neighed in pain, raised its front hooves, and straightened its hind legs, and actually stood up on the spot.
"Ah!" Feng Qingchen's whole body slid down, and she screamed. She quickly let go of the hand that was injecting and rubbed the horse's neck hard. The inside of her thigh slipped, and it felt like pepper water was sprinkled on the wound, and it was burning with pain.
Feng Qingchen, be careful!
Those who truly cared about Feng Qingchen were all shouting in their hearts. They were all worried about her and wanted to jump up from their chairs and hug Feng Qingchen.
The others exclaimed, "Ah!"
The timid ones even covered their eyes with their hands, fearing that they would see the wild horse trample Feng Qingchen to death.
Suddenly they seemed to be frightened. When the horse's front hooves landed and they found Feng Qingchen was still on the horse's back, everyone shouted happily again, as if we have always been with Feng Qingchen, worrying about what Feng Qingchen worries about and frightened by what Feng Qingchen is frightened by.
However, even if others show empathy, they cannot understand the feelings of the people in the scene, just like people who have never faced death will never understand how terrible death is.
No matter how loud they shouted, they could not possibly understand the fear and helplessness Feng Qingchen felt at that moment.
The moment the horse stood up, Feng Qingchen felt that she was going to die and be trampled to death by the horse. The feeling of approaching death made her whole body cold.
Fortunately, she refused to give up, she was afraid of death, and she reacted quickly, so she saved her life.
Even if Feng Qingchen didn't lose half his life after being frightened by this, he was still hurt, but...
She still had a horse to tame.
The amount of effort required to train a horse is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Xiling Yaohua and Su Wan knew this long ago, so they asked her to train two horses in a row.
Even if she saved her hands, she might not be able to save her eyes. It is true that women are the most vicious.
Feng Qingchen swallowed and slowly sat up straight, holding the reins tightly with one hand and the horse's mane with the other. No matter how fast the horse ran, Feng Qingchen would not let go. Even though the pain on the inside of her thigh made her want to kill someone, she did not dare to move.
Just let the horse run like this. Feng Qingchen knew that no matter how impatient or difficult to tame the horse was, after running for a while, the medicine would take effect and the horse would be tamed.
Of course, it’s not entirely the effect of the tranquilizer. The tranquilizer can only make the horse less irritable. The horse became tamed because it lost the contest with Feng Qingchen!
Feng Qingchen let the horse run while looking for the syringe and needle tube that had just fallen, but after searching for several rounds, there was no trace of them.
"It's probably been crushed by the horse. The needle should be in the mud. It doesn't matter if we can't find it, as long as no one else finds it."
Sure enough, after running for a while, the horse's mood gradually calmed down and its speed slowed down.
"It's tamed, Your Majesty. Feng Qingchen has tamed Nanling's Ferghana horse." A white-haired old man said the fact that everyone could see, shouting and jumping for joy.
It’s really unbelievable that a little girl like Feng Qingchen could actually tame the famous Ferghana horse. It’s not easy!
"Hahaha, good, good, reward, I will reward you generously." The emperor shouted happily.
Not only did it enhance the country's prestige, but it also obtained the Ferghana horses that Nanling would never allow to be lost outside. This is definitely something to be happy about.
"How is this possible? Feng Qingchen actually tamed a Ferghana horse." The expression on Xiling Yaohua's face changed from initial pride, to calmness, to uneasiness and worry later, and now to a look of death as if she couldn't accept it at all.
The news of the Ferghana horse leaked out was a fatal blow to the cavalry of Nanling.
Su Wan was equally shocked, and her worries doubled. She hooked her finger at the guard behind her and whispered something in his ear. The guard's eyes lit up at first, then fell silent. Finally, he nodded and quietly left when everyone was not paying attention.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Feng Qingchen, who was riding a horse and coming out of the horse training farm. No one noticed Su Wan's little movements, except Dong Lingjiu.
Although, in the eyes of outsiders, he did not see anything with his heart, but he saw everything. As soon as the people around Su Wan withdrew, the eunuchs behind him also received the order and followed him out...
Feng Qingchen came riding on a Ferghana horse. Although she was tired and in pain at the moment, she had a smug and confident smile on her face, looking like she was showing off.
She doesn't need other people's sympathy and pity, and there is no need for others to know about the suffering she has endured and the efforts she has made. These people just want to see her brilliant side.
Trying hard to ignore the pain in her legs, Feng Qingchen swiftly dismounted from the horse and knelt on one knee in front of the emperor.
This action seemed handsome and elegant to outsiders, but only Feng Qingchen knew that these two actions would tear her wound open again. The heart-wrenching pain was not something that most people could endure.
Feng Qingchen lowered her head and said with full energy: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to everyone's expectations and finally tamed the Xiling Ferghana horse."
"Good! Good! Good! Qingchen, get up quickly!" The emperor was very happy and said three good words in a row. Looking at Feng Qingchen who was full of energy and did not look tired or embarrassed at all, the emperor's joy doubled: "Qingchen, you have tamed the Ferghana horse. I will reward you, a huge reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very grateful, but this is my duty. If Your Majesty must reward Qingchen, please wait for Qingchen. Nanling Cangshan Yunmo is tamed before rewarding him." Feng Qingchen looked at Yaohua provocatively.
At this moment, Yaohua had a dejected look on her face, without any fighting spirit left on her face, tears welled up in her eyes, showing both fear and worry.
She is just like Feng Qingchen, neither of them can afford to lose.
The winners and losers are so obvious!
Hahaha, just to see Yaohua looking half dead, Feng Qingchen felt that his hard work was rewarded.
If she wins, she will be glorious and proud, letting the world know how outstanding Feng Qingchen is and how proud Feng Qingchen is. If you don't have the ability, don't mess with her.
As for the pain and tears, she can go home and lick her wounds in silence.
"You have the ambition. I approve it!" If the emperor had only had the hope of luck before, now he was 90% sure.
Feng Qingchen did not look exhausted at all at this moment. Seeing how high spirits she looked, it was not impossible for her to tame Cangshan Moyun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor." Feng Qingchen thanked him again. As soon as he stood up, Su Wan stepped forward and was about to ask Nanling's people to release Cangshan Moyun, but Feng Qingchen spoke faster:
"Miss Su Wan, Qingchen just tamed Xiling's Ferghana horse and is now tired and thirsty. I don't think Miss Su Wan would ask Qingchen to tame it twice, right?"
"What if I want it? What? Is Miss Feng scared?" Su Wan was furious, angry that Feng Qingchen had snatched her words away...
