The atmosphere eased, but everyone was puzzled.

  Everyone thought that the one who fell would be Zhao Xi, but unexpectedly, it was the crown prince who was a head taller than Wang Ye...

  "My crown prince has suddenly contracted a severe illness and needs further medical treatment."

  Alright, Zhao Xi was also speechless after hearing this. It's better that way, otherwise the officials in the imperial court would think he's brave and powerful... That wouldn't be a good thing.

  "I am not ill!"

  It was good or bad, at this time Da Xia Taizi woke up.

  Dazed, he didn't even know why he fell over. Clearly, in the instant before he passed out, he felt his fist was about to hit that kid, but instead he fell to the ground at that very moment.

  "I don't accept! Come again..."

  Is it really not over yet?

  "You're just brave and fierce, that's all. I won't accompany you anymore. If you make another mistake, it will ultimately become my own fault. Let's end it here!"

  Zhao Xi cooperated with the opponent's Zheng Dan very high-profilely... Kids, if you're sick, don't be stubborn, get treated!

  "You don't have to take responsibility for this. The Crown Prince is better than you at horse riding and archery!"

  I'm going! Zhao Xi's eyes widened and his mouth opened in shock.

  You think this Great Song is like your Xia or something? I've been here for a few years, and I haven't even seen a horse. You're comparing yourself to me in riding and archery?

  "How? Do you dare compete with the Crown Prince in horse riding and archery?"

  Amazing! Not just Zhao Xi, but the entire hall of people, regardless of whether they were from Great Song or Great Xia, everyone was staring at the Crown Prince of Great Xia in a daze.

  "Your Highness, Song Dynasty is different from our dynasty, their king doesn't understand archery and horse riding."

  "Your Highness, this is the King of Song, let alone archery and horsemanship, he may not have even seen a war horse before."

  It's true that Da Xia's Zheng Dan and Jing Xun were right. Zhao Xi really had never seen a war horse before.

  Not to mention after coming here, even before coming here he didn't know what a war horse should be like.

  He knew how to ride a horse and would do so. Initially, there was an Inner Mongolian comrade who had taken him to ride horses for a few days. They were not warhorses; when he joined the army, cavalry had already declined, and throughout the entire war zone, there were no longer any cavalry troops. Where could you see warhorses?

  At this time, Da Xia Taizi looked at Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi also looked back at him. Very calm, nothing to hide, haven't seen it before is just haven't seen it before, my place isn't the vast grasslands, nor a horse farm, even less a pasture, not seeing war horses doesn't lose face either.

  "Haven't you ever seen a war horse?"

  This kid seems not just a kid, but also an honest one.

  "This king has indeed never seen war horses."

  "I was eight years old and could already shoot a cow or sheep from thirty paces on horseback with a stone bow! You are weak..."

  What! You're just physically strong, didn't Grandpa knock you down just now?

  Too lazy to bother with you.

  Zhao Xi ignored him and turned back calmly, as if he hadn't heard him at all, and sat down at the desk.

  "Your Highness, the Song State cannot compare with our Great Xia. One only needs to study the classics of the sages and there will be good rivers and streams..."

  This is a bit too much. Jingxuan... really said that no one can surpass him.

  "Jingxun! Do you know what you are doing? Don't you think that the Great Song has no laws to govern the great Xia?"

  Old Jia, is that so? If you have it, bring it out and let this dog of a Da Xia take a look. Don't let him be arrogant on our imperial court.

  Although Jia Changchao's voice was loud, everyone could hear that he was a bit hesitant. Now that things have come to this point, as the chief executive, if he doesn't speak up, it's likely that even if the matter is settled, some officials will still bring it up and bother him several times.

  "Jia Xiang, don't get angry and scold people below you... Jingyuan! You mustn't be rude!"

  Is that it? Suppressing the fire... Always calculating with a small person, losing identity! Always using this sentence to persuade myself. Zhao Xi didn't know if he had really followed the nature of the Zhao family, and he endured it anyway.

  "How dare you ride a horse?"

  What's going on? Zhao Xi didn't expect that this Crown Prince of Dasu would really go against him.

  Isn't it just about letting you go? Why bother entangling with me endlessly?

  Or you're feeling embarrassed and want to save face after being humiliated by your team's recent performance.

  What's wrong with you, sticking around me?

  In the eyes of Tai Zi Da Xia, this scene was just Zhao Xie and him being on an equal footing, so he could only stubbornly cling to Zhao Xie.

  "What concern is it of yours whether I dare or not?"

  "The crown prince dares you to ride ahead for just a hundred steps!"

  Cut! You're sick, aren't you? I still have to cooperate with you.

  Zhao Xili didn't even bother with him. He's just an impulsive young whippersnapper. What he said doesn't even have a basic foundation, let alone logic.

  Beyond comprehension!

  "If you ride more than a hundred paces, this prince will leave behind five hundred war horses!"

  This... Zhao Xi also knew the importance of war horses to the Great Song. Five hundred war horses, that's a cavalry army led by a commander. This bet is equivalent to the scale of a medium-sized tribe for Daxia as well.

  No wonder he is the prince, his generosity is indeed magnanimous.

  It seems like no one in Da Xia thought it was strange and no one stopped them, but on this side... everyone is panting heavily.

  "If you can shoot a stone bow on horseback, I will give you 500 horses from the Western Army of Song!"

  Forcing it? It's a bit too much. Putting on airs in front of Zhao Xi... Having an attitude doesn't work, he was just about to get up anyway.

  "Xi'er, don't!"

  "Your Majesty, don't be swayed by others' words, I am of Great Song..."

  "You, Great Song, don't need war horses, just need to build camps!"

  Jia Chang finally managed to say a word to Zhao Xi, and it was still good advice, but that Jing something actually interrupted very rudely.

  Jia Changchao stared at him with a very threatening gaze, and was stared back at by the other person.

  Zhao Xi didn't think riding a horse was that difficult, he was also a first-timer when he started riding horses and it came very naturally to him. His comrades all said he was born to be a cavalryman, unfortunately, that was an eliminated branch of the military.

  However, Zhao Xi was clear that he seemed to be very smooth with all his movements, and basically got it right the first time.

  At this time, he didn't show off, but really didn't want the officials in the imperial court to think that he was a martial artist. There was no way, he still knew it, this era looked down on martial artists.

  If one were to show bravery at this time, those future officials who would work with oneself... Don't think that the emperor has absolute leadership power, he still knows that there is a thing called "veto power" in the government.

  If you don't work in harmony with Shilin or lack the foundation of being a subject, even if you are an emperor, it's possible that imperial edicts can't be issued outside the palace, let alone Bianliang City.

  So he was a bit reserved and introverted... but unexpectedly, someone was going to slap him in the face.

  Zhao Xi still got up, he really didn't like being looked at like this... The contemptuous expression was unmistakable, and even the ministers on the imperial court were looking forward to it, including King Runan, who also had an expectant gaze... This old man was probably hoping that he would fall off his horse and die.

  It's really possible!

  "A thousand horses! I can deliver them right away, and this king can try riding them."

  Two countries that just had a bit of a surface-level reconciliation, would they believe in those things after the fact? Zhao Xi wasn't that foolish.

  Actually, he also wanted to delay it. If they hadn't brought a thousand horses and had to transport them from Gansu...he should be able to learn by then.
