My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 38: The Strategy to Seize the Flower

"Hahaha……"

You could tell it was Lu Ziqi from the laughter. Clearly, he had already seen the dawn of victory. Li Lian, standing by, gave him an unpleasant look: "What are you laughing at? We haven't even grabbed the red silk yet. What if your monkey loses its balance and falls off your horse?"

Lu Ziqi thought Li Lian was just being stubborn and said, "Then you can just wait and see."

The three-mile journey was over in a flash, and the conspicuous red silk fluttered slightly on the wooden stake. Mu Zheng glanced at the skinny monkey and saw that he was staring at the red silk with full concentration, his entire limbs straining, clearly due to the excessive psychological pressure caused by nervousness.

This situation may be seen as a caution by outsiders, but to Mu Zheng it is a flaw.

Because your muscles are not relaxed enough, the sensitivity of your movements will be reduced.

What Mu Zheng needs to do now is to confuse his mind.

five meters...

Three meters...

one meter……

Mu Zheng suddenly kicked the horse's belly and Zhuifeng rushed forward. The horse's head that suddenly jumped up from the side scared Quanxing.

Before he could react, he saw Mu Zheng stretch his body, his buttocks left the horse's back, relying only on his legs for support, then he hooked his arms and grabbed the red silk directly in his hands.

This……

The skinny monkey was stunned. Then panic came.

Once you panic, your rhythm will naturally be disrupted.

Lu Ziqi, who had just been chuckling, was also stunned. He pointed at Mu Zheng and looked at Li Lian: "This, this, this is also possible?"

To be honest, Li Lian didn't expect this result.

Normally, the horse would run to the red silk and the rider would reach out to pick it. But Mu Zheng hadn't even reached the red silk yet and he leaned out.

"He's taking too much risk!"

You know, it is easy for a horseman to lose balance when his body leaves the horse's back, and everyone knows the consequences of losing balance.

Li Lian thought to himself that Mu Zheng was indeed a swordsman, as he was willing to gamble his life.

After Mu Zheng grabbed the red silk, he immediately rushed towards the other red silk. At this time, Quanxing was obviously behind. As long as Mu Zheng played steadily, Quanxing would never be able to catch up even if they died of exhaustion.

The sun shone obliquely, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on Mu Zheng's face.

But the closer he got to the second wooden stake, the more confused Mu Zheng became.

Is it true that Lu Ziqi didn't use any tricks?

Does he trust Skinny Monkey so much?

The red silk flower was visible from afar, and Mu Zheng did not dare to be careless. Just as he was about to reach out to grab the red silk, he suddenly felt his horse's hoof step on something, and then he saw the wooden stake tilted to one side.

Depend on!

Li Lian and the other two, who were watching all this from afar, were so shocked that they stood up suddenly.

"Lu Ziqi, do you still have any shame?"

"I don't understand what Boss Li is saying. Who can control such unexpected events on the field? Did you see me push the stake? Besides, didn't the person next to you check it out?"

Cao Pengfei's face turned pale. He did check, but he was checking the red silk. Who knew there would be problems with the wooden stakes?

Mu Zheng was also stunned by this sudden situation. But fortunately, Lu Ziqi's mechanism was cleverly designed, and the wooden stake only tilted but did not fall completely to the ground.

In other words, the red silk is only half a meter shorter, but as long as you are willing to take the risk, you can still get it.

Of course, Mu Zheng would not think that this was Lu Ziqi's kind discovery, but that he was leaving a way out for Quanxing.

Because once the red silk is completely put on the ground, Quanxing can only sigh in despair.

Mu Zheng quickly adjusted the speed and direction of the horse, intending to grab the flower again.

But due to this delay, Quanxing arrived on horseback. Mu Zheng noticed that Quanxing's route was slightly off.

Under normal circumstances, the groom would choose to grab the flower in a straight line, but Quanxing deviated slightly by three or four degrees, barely avoiding the route that Mu Zheng had just passed.

And right along Mu Zheng's route, a wooden board was faintly visible in the grass.

Mu Zheng understood that it was his horse stepping on the wooden board that triggered the wooden stake mechanism.

Haha, it’s really well calculated.

but……

Conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in the face of all power.

Just as Quanxing reached out to grab the red flower, Mu Zheng swung the whip in his hand and hit the red silk.

It flew high and passed by the skinny monkey in such a gorgeous manner.

Then Mu Zheng wrapped his left hand around the reins and leaned his body to the right. He then hooked his right foot around the horse's belly and placed his left foot directly on the horse's back, with his whole body in a half-bow stance.

With a grab of his right hand, the red silk in the air fell into his palm.

Tsk tsk.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. Before Quanxing could recover from the shock of the red silk being whipped away, Mu Zheng was already riding his horse towards the finish line.

Yeah...

Quanxing yelled in anger and tried his best to catch up, but it was just a dream after all.

Mu Zheng dismounted gracefully, looked at Lu Ziqi's sullen face, raised his hand and smiled, "Thank you for letting me."

After a moment, Li Lian finally came to his senses. Mu Zheng won? Yes, Mu Zheng won! He actually won!

"Young Master!" Although Cao Pengfei disliked Mu Zheng and was unhappy that he stole his limelight, he was happy with the result of the victory.

Seeing the smiles on Li Lian and the others' faces, Lu Ziqi's hands trembled with anger. Then, looking at Quan Xing, who was walking forward with his head bowed, he raised his hand and slapped him. The force of his blow was so strong that the frail monkey couldn't even stand.

"Boss Lu, you hit me too hard. What if you hurt someone? Who will you ask to help you next time?" Li Lian felt that all the anger in his chest was released.

"If the fan is broken, make a few more wooden stakes." Cao Pengfei added at the right time.

"But..." Li Lian paused deliberately: "The wooden stake will fall down."

Mu Zheng listened, laughing inwardly. Li Lian's behavior was too childish, but he liked it!

And Lu Ziqi didn't want to be ridiculed anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

"Leave? How can it be that easy?" Li Lian quickly put away his smile and looked at Lu Ziqi with a strange expression.

Lu Ziqi let out a long breath and said, "Li Lian, I'm a man of my words. I'll give you all the 200 dan of grain."

Li Lian chuckled and held out his hand: "Key!"

This?

Lu Ziqi was stunned. He had never thought that he would lose, so how could he possibly have the granary key with him?

"No way! The young master of the dignified Lu Family Trading Company actually wants to default on his debt!" Li Lian laughed exaggeratedly and even patted Mu Zheng on the shoulder: "Brother Mu, I'm so sorry. It's really insulting to you, a man of integrity, to compete with such a shady boy."

Mu Zheng rolled his eyes.

If you want to show off, go ahead and show off, but don't drag me into this, okay? But feeling Li Lian patting his shoulder harder and harder, Mu Zheng could only sigh: "I didn't expect this young master of the Lu family to be so untrustworthy."

Hearing Mu Zheng's sarcastic remarks, Li Lian took his hand away from his shoulder and looked at Lu Ziqi provocatively.

Lu Ziqi's face turned the color of pig liver. He looked at the servant beside him and slapped him again: "Why don't you go back and get it for me?"

He had never been so embarrassed in his life!

Feeling the awkward atmosphere around him, Lu Ziqi cleared his throat and said, "Li Lian, no matter what, the three of us are close friends..."

"Bah!" Li Lian said with disdain, "How dare you say that hungry wolf wasn't your uncle? Who suggested that Han Zi go out to trade back then? Why was he hunted down by your uncle the moment he went out to trade? Wasn't this a trap set by you two, uncle and nephew?"

"How many times do you want me to tell you that I had no idea that Han Zi was attacked. Indeed, it was me who suggested that Han Zi go into business, but I was also deceived." Lu Ziqi shouted.

"It doesn't matter whether I lie or not. I won't tell you anything about Han Zi." After saying that, Li Lian pulled Zhuifeng over and said, "I'm leaving now. Get out of my way!"

Mu Zheng hurriedly followed. Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Ziqi. If this man knew that he was the one who killed his second uncle, would he be furious?
