The 41st time a beauty's smile is hard to come by, and it's a pity for men to have tears, but who are they crying for?

  No clear wind, no bright moon, in the gentle ticking of time, the horseman's right hand supported his cheek and quietly watched the slightly furrowed brow of the cloud eagle.

  After only one chess piece was left, Yunying still refused to surrender. Ma Fu didn't have the heart to take her last piece and end the game quickly, so he could only slowly accompany her in a stalemate.

  Like this, Yunying's only chess piece struggled for another cup of tea, seeing that all the pieces on Ma Fu's side that could cross the river had crossed, Yunying sighed and said: "It was my fault for underestimating you, forget it, spilled water can't be gathered back, I'd better surrender."

  "What? Not continuing? Did I hear wrong?"

  Yun Ying raised her head and stared at the groom with her somewhat cold eyes, then reached out to take the wine that the maid had warmed up in advance and started drinking it gurglingly.

  "Great!" Seeing Yun Ying's fearless attitude, Ma Fu couldn't help but praise.

  When Yunying really drank that pot of wine, the horseman saw her cheeks flush red. At this time, although she was still wearing men's clothes, her charm had already been revealed without a doubt.

  "Don't look anymore! Continue." Yun Ying seemed to be about 70% drunk, and actually put a few black pieces on her side.

  "Are you all right? It's getting late, why don't we call it a day?" ?? Tiger Leopard Cavalry 41

  "What's going on here? Continue! Continue! I haven't killed enough yet." Yunying said, and actually fell asleep.

  The groom did not expect her to fall asleep so quickly, and he hurriedly walked over to her side, stretched out his hand and lifted her up.

  "Go on!"

  The newly risen Yunying hadn't stood firm yet, and with a stumble, he directly fell into the groom's arms. Amidst the dizziness, the groom seemed to have caught that enchanting scent again, and he hastily gathered his thoughts, forcing himself not to think wildly.

  What made Ma Fu even more frantic was that Yun Ying actually fell asleep in his arms. Ma Fu shouted several times, but she didn't react at all.

  The groom had no choice but to support her into her room. Who would have thought that as soon as they entered the door of Yunying's room, she suddenly went weak in the knees and couldn't even stand steadily?

  "Is he intentionally trying to probe me?" The groom felt that the situation was also too abnormal. But he didn't dare to be certain, after all, he had never drunk with her before, so he had no idea what her drinking capacity was like.

  Face to face, supporting the cloud eagle upwards, the groom felt himself almost suffocating, with a raging fire burning in his heart. When he carefully pulled the cloud eagle onto her bed and covered her with a quilt, the cloud eagle whispered: "Water, water..."

  Ma Fu was also somewhat drunk at this time, but he didn't dare to slack off. He quickly poured warm water and helped Yun Ying up, letting him drink it down.

  After drinking the water, Yunying had fallen asleep. Standing by the bed and looking at Yunying, Mahu felt as if there were thousands of wild horses galloping in his heart.

  The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was losing control. He hastily rushed out of Yunying's room and splashed some cold water on his face.

  Because he was worried that Yunying would want to drink water at night, Ma Fu, who had sobered up, simply lay down on the table in Yunying's room and fell asleep.

  As he felt someone putting clothes on him in a daze, he slowly opened his eyes.

  "Are you awake?" After hearing this sweet voice, Ma Fu raised his head and saw Yun Ying, who looked a bit shy.

  The groom felt a bit guilty and said: "Sorry, I shouldn't have let the girl drink so much wine." ?? Tiger Leopard Rider 41

  Yun Ying turned around and sat down beside the bed, saying: "We're so familiar with each other now, just call me by my name directly. Don't keep calling me 'girl' this and 'girl' that, it sounds strange to me. Besides, I'm a man of my word, I never go back on my promises, so you don't need to feel guilty either."

  The groom heard this and suddenly felt much better, laughing: "Good! The cloud hawk's ribbon is not inferior to the whiskers, I admire it with all my heart."

  Yun Ying said: "How dare I let Master Ma be disappointed. May I ask, Master Taishou, now that the sky is already bright, what arrangements do you have for today? Are you going to continue playing chess with General Pang?"

  The groom stood up and stretched his waist, saying: "It's not a good idea to spend the whole day doing nothing. Why don't we go for a ride on horseback?"

  Yun Ying stood up and walked out of the room before Ma Fu. Seeing that she didn't express any opinion, Ma Fu knew she had tacitly agreed, so he hastily ordered the servants to prepare the horses.

  When the groom saw the two high-headed horses brought by the servant, the groom's heart trembled involuntarily. Since the defeat of An Yi last time, he didn't know if he had seen Blood Chariot again, let alone whether it was dead or alive now.

  "What? Are you thinking of your precious Blood Stallion again?"

  Looking at the cloud eagle who was so considerate of others, Ma Fu nodded slightly.

  "This is easy, leave it to me. As your personal bodyguard, helping you find a horse is also part of my job."

  The groom didn't know how she was going to find the blood clam, but as for her abilities, he had never underestimated her. He smiled and said, "Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked."

  The groom finished speaking, and the cloud eagle had already mounted his horse. He turned around and said to him: "If you have the leisure to do so, stay behind and thank me slowly later. Let's go! We'll draw a tie in chess, but I'm sure I can win you in this horse racing!"

  Ma Fu Yan smiled, mounted his horse, and shouted twice. The horse rushed to the front of the gate like an arrow leaving a bowstring. However, just as they reached the entrance, Ma Fu Yan reined in the horse. After all, with people coming and going, if he accidentally injured civilians, this governor would not only be unable to avoid blame but might also become notorious.

  That cloud eagle seemed to have no regard for anything, under the groom's successive shouts, she still drove the horse galloping wildly among the crowd, wherever she passed, it was all chaotic.

  The groom was afraid she would get into trouble and hurriedly followed behind her.

  As soon as they left Wuwei City, Ma Fu ran into Pang De who was on his way back to the city after making his rounds.

  Pongde said on horseback: "Ma Tai is in a good mood, where are we going?"

  The groom smiled and said: "It's boring to stay in the city all day, I plan to go outside the city to race horses and stretch my muscles, otherwise I'll get moldy."

  "Good! Then I won't disturb Governor Ma's leisurely journey. I hope he will leave and return early."

  Ma Fu made a bow and bid farewell, after which Pang De gave a signal to several cavalrymen beside him. Those men naturally understood what he meant and quickly followed Ma Fu and Yun Ying at a distance on horseback.

  The groom, turning his head inadvertently, saw the cavalrymen and smiled at Yunying: "My treatment is really high, wherever I go, there are so many guards following me, it's hard to get into trouble."

  "Contentment is a lasting joy. Don't add trouble for yourself."

  "Why don't you ever smile?" The groom naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.

  Yun Ying looked back at him and said, "Give me a reason to laugh."

  The groom was taken aback, no one had ever asked him such a question before. After some deliberation, he replied to Yunying with a serious face: "In life, eight or nine out of ten things are not as desired. In the short span of several decades, whether happy or unhappy, days pass by just the same. So why not keep smiling? A smile can make you look younger by ten years."

  Yun Ying seemed to be completely unaffected by his words, and expressionlessly said: "I'm not laughing doesn't mean I'm unhappy. Laughing also doesn't necessarily mean I'm happy. Since neither laughing nor not laughing can represent anything, why do I need to follow what you say?"

  The groom said helplessly: "Looking at your expressionless face every day, and often giving people a very cold feeling, I guess you must have been hurt before. If you believe me, you can say it out loud, maybe I can help you open up this knot."

  Yun Ying glared at him and said: "What could I possibly be sad about? If you don't have the ability to make me laugh, then don't talk nonsense."

  The groom had never been so despised before, he tried his best to search for jokes in his mind, just to make the bride smile, exhausting all his thoughts.

  After much effort, the coachman finally thought of a joke: "A patient went to see a doctor. The old man felt his pulse and frowned, saying, 'You're very seriously ill, I'm afraid you won't live much longer.' The patient asked, 'Please tell me how long I have left?' The old man said, 'Ten...' The patient anxiously asked, 'Ten what? Ten years? Ten months? Ten days?' The old man replied, 'Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five...'"

  "Boring!"

  Facing Yunying's response, Ma Fu was not convinced and immediately said: "A woman is extremely ugly and cannot be married off, hoping to be kidnapped and sold. Finally, the dream comes true, but she can't be sold for half a month. The kidnapper sends her back, she resolutely does not get off the horse, the kidnapper grits his teeth and kicks one foot, leaving! The horse is unwanted."

  Yun Ying shook his head with a smile: "Not funny at all, don't waste your brain, are you racing horses or not?"

  She didn't react at all after two jokes in a row, and the horse owner was really helpless, so he came up with another idea: "Racing horses is boring, why don't we make it more interesting by betting on it?"

  "You said." Yun Ying was very concise and efficient.

  "If I lose, you just laugh at me three times, is that okay?"

  Yun Ying said: "Okay, but if you lose, you have to cry in front of me for a cup of tea's worth of time."

  "Is it that cruel?" After all, riding a horse is not the strong point of a groom. The groom's heart is somewhat guilty. Moreover, as a man, he has grown up and hasn't cried many times.

  "What's wrong, feeling guilty? If you're feeling guilty, then let's just casually race horses and take a stroll, why bother finding trouble for yourself?"

  "Alright! I accept the challenge." In order to see her smile, Mahfu went all out.

  After the two men agreed on the starting and ending points, they set off at the same time. At first, they kept changing positions, and it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.

  But slowly, Yunying's horse was like it had been given a stimulant, neighing as it rushed towards the finish line like the wind.

  Seeing this scene, Yunying thought: "It's all over, it's all over, this is definitely a loss. It makes me cry for a moment, and it's better to kill me directly!"

  The groom arrived at the end and looked at Yunying who was waiting there: "What if I couldn't cry?"

  "Figure it out yourself, I don't care about anything else."

  The groom had no choice but to try crying. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and scrunched up his eyebrows, but still couldn't bring out any tears.

  Yun Ying saw this scene and joked: "Governor, you can rest assured to think of a way to cry, for everything I see, this little woman will definitely keep her mouth shut."

  The groom nodded after hearing this and continued to rack his brains on how to get himself cried out.

  "After a long time of struggling, the horseman said: 'Wanting me to cry is as hard as making you laugh, can you give me some guidance in this confusing situation?'"

  "Alright, then I'll tell you a story."

  "Tell a story? Then I won't cry even more. In my impression, there has never been any story that can make me cry."

  Yun Ying shook his head and didn't care if he was listening or not, and started talking directly.

  The story was very long and by the time Yunying finished speaking, it was already late afternoon.

  In a daze, the horseman felt as if he had experienced all the hardships and sorrows of a person's life, and unknowingly, he also shed five tears for the woman in that story...
