The final result of this horse racing is: Xu Tianjiao is the champion, Tang Dalong is the runner-up, and Mongolian knight Hada is the third runner-up.
Each will be rewarded with one thousand taels, eight hundred taels and five hundred taels of silver.
Yashi and Takeno-kun stared at them.
Xu Tianjiao was very happy when she got the reward. Of course, it didn't mean that she cared about the money, but it represented an honor.
They got the rewards and were just about to get off the podium when a man came over and said, "You three, please stay."
Tang Dalong saw that this man was tall and looked like a soldier, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Please don't get me wrong. My name is Zamusu. I am a Mongolian soldier. I think the three of you are very good at riding. I wonder if you are willing to join the army and serve us."
"I do," Hada said. "The purpose of my coming here is to serve as a soldier."
"That's great, wait a minute, you can just come with me," Zamusu said and asked Tang Dalong and Xu Tianjiao, "What do you two think?"
"Thank you for your kindness. We are not from here. We have other things to do and are anxious to go back. Therefore, we cannot join the army here." Tang Dalong said.
"That's such a pity, but everyone has their own ambitions. In that case, please do whatever you want." Zamusu said and stepped aside to let them out.
"Sister, you are amazing." Li Sijie hugged Xu Tianjiao and said happily.
"These are just trivial tricks, nothing serious." Xu Tianjiao glanced at Li Sizhe and said.
"You seem to be a quiet person, but I didn't expect you to hide your secrets." Li Sizhe also praised.
"Brother and sister, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, I won't be able to find the answer." Xu Tianjiao said with a smile.
Tang Dalong, Xu Tianjiao and the other five returned to the inn.
night.
"Brother Tang and I are treating you tonight, so you can eat freely," Xu Tianjiao said.
Zhen Sifei was not polite and ordered a table full of dishes and served several bottles of good wine.
"When we have all the horses in our hands tomorrow morning, we can go back to the military camp directly," Li Sizhe said.
"What happened in the past two days always gave me a hunch that things might not go as smoothly as we thought." Xu Tianjiao said.
"Sister, are you thinking too much?" Li Sijie said.
"Think about it, there are not only people from the Mongolian military but also people from the Japanese military on this racecourse. Is this normal? My intuition tells me, are they doing some conspiracy?" Xu Tianjiao asked.
"I think what Tianjiao said is not unreasonable. Those Yashi and Zhuye Jun dared to publicly attack us. This must be someone who instigated it. They must have a back-up, otherwise, they would not dare." Tang Dalong said.
"Then why are they doing this? Have they already recognized you? You didn't go to see the spring exercises last time," Zhen Sifei said.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Although Zhuye has never met Brother Tang, someone has." Xu Tianjiao said.
"Who? Who do you mean?"
"First of all, that Major Kawamoto. He often comes to your place. He knows your battalion commander and deputy battalion commanders. Secondly, after you arrived in Chengde, you went to Sun's pawnshop. Didn't the owner of the pawnshop also see you? Thirdly, there is this horse vendor, I feel that these people may have connections with the Japanese military," Xu Tianjiao said.
"That's not true. Are they all spies?" Zhen Sifei asked.
