The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1555 - 755 New King (First Update)
Chapter 1555: 755 New King (First Update)
Gu Jiao’s victory came as a surprise to everyone, for before the results were announced, Xiao Liulang seemed to be non-existent at the scene.
Although "Xiao Liulang" was already famous in the circle of cuju players, circles were like mountains, and his name had not reached the Military Camp circle.
A total of more than two hundred people participated in the preliminary selection, with six people per game and forty-four games in total, and not every advancing Cavalry attracted attention.
Obviously, being the younger brother of Han Ye, Han Che contributed much to Gu Jiao’s popularity. Added to that were the Blackwind King and experts from the Geng Family, and Gu Jiao instantly became the hottest focus of the entire event.
Many people wanted to talk to her, but unfortunately, they were all intimidated by the Blackwind King standing beside her and did not dare to approach.
The Blackwind King’s aura was so imposing that it automatically isolated Gu Jiao in a spacious area around her.
Gu Jiao really enjoyed the feeling of not being jostled by the crowd.
She stood at the edge of the training ground, quietly observing the selection of the others.
Gu Changqing walked over to Gu Jiao.
The Blackwind King stirred.
Gu Jiao gently stroked its neck.
The Blackwind King no longer remained vigilant around Gu Changqing.
Outsiders naturally couldn’t understand the communication between a person and a horse and simply thought that the young man was too bold, daring to approach the Blackwind King without fearing being kicked away by a hoof.
After all, it was precisely Han Che and the expert from the Geng Family who had been kicked away like that.
A few members of the Han Family stood not far away, and Gu Changqing turned back to exchange a glance with them.
They made a hand gesture, and Gu Changqing nodded in agreement, seemingly understanding.
After that, he approached Gu Jiao.
With explosions and various screams at the scene, no one could hear what they said to each other.
But looking at Gu Changqing’s expression, he seemed to be questioning Gu Jiao.
"Frown a bit, hmm, just like that," said Gu Changqing.
Gu Jiao exaggeratedly furrowed her brow.
Gu Changqing: "..."
I told you to frown, not to scrunch up your facial features.
Gu Changqing said, "You performed well just now, but the horse has lost weight."
Gu Jiao replied with a hum, stroked the Blackwind King’s mane, and said, "He hasn’t eaten well for several days and has lost weight, but he should try hard to eat from now on."
Gu Changqing had already learned about the Blackwind King’s escape from the Han Family members.
Han Ye could have retrieved the horse, but he did not.
He had no faith in the Blackwind King.
He never truly considered the Blackwind King as his battle steed, but rather as a valuable item.
Once the item lost its value, it was no longer worth keeping.
"It is fortunate that you are the one who found him," said Gu Changqing sincerely.
If it had been someone else, the Blackwind King might not have recovered his spirit.
"It wasn’t me who found him," Gu Jiao said, it was the Horse King who brought the Blackwind King back.
And it was during the search for the Horse King that she brought the Blackwind King back a second time.
Gu Changqing didn’t know what to say after hearing this.
His sister loves to pick up people, and the horse she raised loves to pick up other horses...
"You’ve caught someone’s attention," Gu Changqing eventually didn’t forget to mention the serious matter. If not to remind her, he would not have told the Han Family members earlier to "tell this kid off."
"Oh?" Gu Jiao was not surprised, "People from the Feng Family?"
The third son of the Feng Family had been killed by her in the woods.
"Not just them, but also the Dong Family, Du Family, Chen Family, and Yang Family."
"Oh," Gu Jiao was even less surprised, as all four had been injured by her in the woods, with the Du Governor and Chen Governor sustaining the most serious injuries, while the heads of the Yang and Dong Families were slightly less injured.
After coming out of the woods, she had wondered if these people would file a complaint against her with His Majesty, but they had not.
She and Xiao Hen had carefully analyzed this issue and concluded that they did not dare.
They had rudely snatched the Little Princess, resulting in her getting injured. The Little Princess still remembered that.
The sovereign was troubled by not being able to identify those few, so where would they find the nerve to bring up what happened in the woods?
But precisely because they could not make it public, all of them harbored resentment against Gu Jiao.
Gu Changqing said softly, "Be careful on your own. I will tell the Han Family that I’m trying to win you over."
"Alright," Gu Jiao responded.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Gu Changqing could not linger for long.
"The Han Family has been watching this way, I’m going over," Gu Changqing said. "I won’t go to the National Master Hall these next few days, we’ll contact each other if there’s anything."
Gu Jiao nodded.
Remembering something else, Gu Changqing asked, "By the way, what identity are you using?"
"I haven’t checked yet," Gu Jiao said, and as she was about to take the Token out of her pouch, a shout came from the direction ahead.
