The staff smiled and said: "Master Song Yuan came to see the emperor again~"【Note 1】

Song Yuansheng nodded, and then introduced Zhou Taian to the ranch staff: "This is my choice."

"Is that so?" The ranch staff raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Tai'an, and muttered softly, "Well...it's not something I can talk about."

"The emperor should be grazing now, right?" Matsumoto Shoichi ignored the muttering of the ranch staff and asked.

"That's natural, please come with me." The ranch staff took the lead after making a "please" gesture.

"'Emperor'?" Zhou Taian, who was full of doubts, followed up consciously.

66. Encounter with the Emperor's Dream

When the name "Emperor" was mentioned, the first thing that Zhou Taian thought of was "Emperor of the East China Sea".

"Does it mean that I will see the emperor of the East China Sea here?" The young man's face was calm, but his heart was quite nervous.

According to his knowledge of this dream world combined with common sense of the dream world, if the year-old foal that Taian sees next week is indeed the emperor of the East China Sea——

"Doesn't that mean that the Emperor of the East China Sea will make his debut in the Flash Series in two years?" Zhou Tai'an was surprised.

Based on his experience, the emperor of the East China Sea in the real world is more than two years away from his debut.

"Or maybe the reality and the dream world are not exactly the same?" Zhou Tai'an muttered secretly, "After all, I have never heard the name of Silent Suzuka here."

He didn't think that the abilities displayed by the silent Suzuka would have no comparison in the dream world.

……

Just when Zhou Taian was full of doubts, the ranch staff brought Matsumoto Shoichi and him to a grazing land.

"It's a coincidence that if Master Songyuan comes half an hour later, the emperor and Donghai will naturally return to the stable. At that time, the two may only see the emperor and the vigilant heart sleeping on the mat. Donghai, which has become particularly strong, is natural." After the ranch staff finished speaking, he pointed to a mother and child not far away, "Well, the emperor is a little sleepy now."

Looking at the pasture staff's fingers, Zhou Tai'an noticed a young foal snuggling up beside a horse whose belly was slightly bulging.

"It looks pretty cute." He muttered in a low voice.

"Are you cute..." The ranch staff's mouth twitched, "It may look like this at first glance, but in fact, the emperor is very capricious, and he always looks like he doesn't care about unfamiliar existences. It's going to be violent, so please be careful and don't get close to him."

"I see." Zhou Tai'an chose to stay behind the ranch staff, keeping a close distance to observe the foal.

Song Yuansheng, who has been here many times, does not need to worry about this, he can get a little closer and carefully observe the growth of the "Emperor" during this period of time.

"It's really good." Song Yuansheng became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, "Although he was only born less than half a year ago, his innate talent can be seen at a glance, and his limbs are also very soft. This child will definitely become an excellent racehorse in the future. "

But while he was talking, he glanced back at Zhou Tai'an.

"So..." Zhou Tai'an pointed to himself, "Master Song Yuan asked me to come here today just to show me this child?"

When Song Yuansheng heard Zhou Taian's question, he patted himself on the head: "Look at my memory, I just said that I have something to tell Zhou Jun."

So then Matsumoto told Zhou Tai'an about the agreement between himself and Lujian Changyong.

"So..." Zhou Taian turned his head and stared at the "Emperor", "I am this child's future main battle partner?"

"That's right." Matsumoto Shoichi said with a smile on his face, "A powerful racehorse naturally needs a talented rider. The owner of the 'Emperor' horse had some concerns before, but Zhou Jun's performance in the past few months has made him admire No mouth."

Even if the JRA deliberately modified the rules in order to restrict Zhou Taian's "windmill whip", during this period of time only by relying on stronger pushing skills than other central riders, Zhou Taian can often win, which also proves that he is not only good at one move Fresh empty shelves.

"But this kid is still two years away from his debut, right?" Zhou Tai'an pointed to the "Emperor" who was standing there looking at him in a daze, "Isn't it too early for Master Songyuan to bring me to see it?"

"It's not too early, now we are more familiar, and there will be fewer unexpected twists and turns when we are partners." Matsumoto Shrugged, "Isn't it good?"

"Jun Zhou and I will come here every month to see the growth of the 'Emperor'." Li Dong's trainer gave instructions.

"Okay." Zhou Taian agreed.

"If the 'Emperor' is the Emperor of the East China Sea, and if the dream world and reality can mirror each other, then maybe I can deduce from what the East Sea Emperor experienced in the dream world to the problems in the real world." He thought to himself.

But just as Zhou Taian was walking, the "Emperor" suddenly opened his legs and jogged to his side, and then a force "bumped" the young man's body and almost fell on the ground. Grazing turf.

"It seems that the 'emperor' is quite curious about Mr. Zhou." The ranch staff stretched out his hand to support Zhou Tai'an, and laughed.

Zhou Taian, who came back to his senses, stared at the eyes of the "emperor", and was surprised: "It looks so smart, just like the eyes of people..."

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of the "Emperor".

And "Emperor" narrowed his eyes, showing a very enjoying expression.

"Oh..." the ranch staff let out a low voice, "It's the first time I've seen 'Emperor' be so friendly to strangers I met for the first time."

"Maybe it's because I have affinity?" Zhou Tai'an turned his head, smiled and joked.

As soon as the words fell, the "Emperor" stretched out his right front leg and kicked Zhou Tai'an's right leg lightly.

"This is the normal 'Emperor'..." The ranch staff felt relieved when they saw Zhou Tai'an who gasped and rubbed his right leg.

"Ha..." The Emperor Donghai woke up from the bed, and what he saw was the ceiling that was more familiar than home, "It's time to wash up and go to morning exercises."

She rubbed her eyes, turned over and fumbled for her mobile phone from the table beside the bed.

After hesitating for a while, Emperor Donghai wrote a short message and sent it out.

After finishing all this, she got out of bed and swayed in her slippers to wash up.

"The dream last night was really strange. I actually saw the trainer in the dream..." The Emperor of the East China Sea muttered in his heart while washing, "The trainer didn't seem to know me at all—but it also became a strange relationship with me. It's about appearance."

"But I'm also called 'Emperor' in my dream, how can you not recognize me," Donghai Emperor put down his toothbrush, "I kicked him at the end, which is considered revenge."

And Zhou Taian, who was still working in Paris, heard the email notification tone.

He turned on his phone and found that the email came from the Emperor of the East China Sea in Tokyo——

"Trainer... I dreamed about you."

It was just a short sentence, but Zhou Taian's heart was twitched.

67. Public opinion deflection

In the end, Zhou Taian only thought it was a coincidence.He tapped his head lightly: "It is possible to dream of the other party, but it is too outrageous for the Emperor of the East China Sea to enter the dream world like me. This is absolutely impossible."

Zhou Taian, who was so sure, took his mobile phone and edited a reply letter: "I also dreamed about the emperor. Train well, and in autumn I will go to Tokyo to see if the emperor has improved compared to spring."

After receiving this reply, Emperor Donghai shook his head. To her, the first half of the sentence was just the trainer coaxing her, and the most important thing was the second half.

"It's coming to test me in autumn." The Emperor of the East China Sea clenched his fists, "The trainers will definitely be surprised by then!"

Thinking of this, she quickly turned around and woke up the heavy artillery: "It's time for morning exercises! Don't stay in bed anymore!"

"Maya hasn't slept enough..." Zhong Pao turned over, vaguely rejected the roommate's invitation, and then lay down on the bed in another position and continued to fall into a sweet dream.

Glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, guessing that his roommate would be late after going to bed, Donghai Emperor sighed softly, turned around and left the dormitory.

"I hope Heavy Cannon won't get her ears pulled by the teacher today." She complained secretly in her heart.

And Zhou Tai'an went to bed after finishing his work today.

Relying on this trip to and from Hokkaido, he noticed that his energy in the dream world was quite strong.

"Even if I go back and forth to Hokkaido for one day, I can still come to Ritto to meet Setoguchi the next day in high spirits." Zhou Tai'an was quite happy about this new discovery, "Don't worry about your physical condition will be affected by various factors. affected by this arrangement."

With less than a week to go before the French Derby, the number of horses on the entry list is dwindling - just like the French 2000 guineas.

"It is estimated that there will be more than 10 horse girls left in the end." Zhou Tai'an complained, "I have paid the registration fee, but I didn't come to the competition in the end. If you have so much spare money, you can directly transfer it to me."

"In terms of wealth, I'm afraid that the sum of all the items on the registration list is not as good as the trainers?" Xinxin Guanghui complained.

"Where, I'm just an ordinary family." Zhou Tai'an waved his hand.

"That's right, what about 'ordinary' families~" Xiao Limao pouted.

"Just talking about the expenses of the expedition in the past few months, our team does not have any additional sponsorship. It is entirely up to the trainers to pay for it." Xinxin Guanghui counted with his fingers, "The expenses are quite astonishing, and they bear the expenses silently without changing their expressions What about the 'ordinary' family of ..."

"After all, this is for honor." Zhou Tai'an shrugged, "Spending money for Ma Niang's expedition is not considered spending money."

Speaking of this, the young man leaned back and fell on the back of the chair: "At the time when my mother went to the United States from France for an expedition, my father paid for it himself—but they didn't know each other very well at that time."

"If it wasn't for the money, there would be no trainers, right?" Xin Xin Guanghui muttered, "Is that why trainers have such a view on money now?"

"It's nothing wrong, right?" Xiao Limao just spoke for Zhou Tai'an, when the young man interrupted her——

"It's time for Oguri to start training, otherwise your warm-up exercise will be for nothing."

"Okay, okay." After all, Xiao Limao escaped from the swimming pool and returned to the training ground this time, so her attitude towards training was still very positive. After receiving Zhou Tai'an's reminder, Ma Niang Lumao immediately devoted herself to training.

Meanwhile, Zhou Tai'an on Brand New Glory didn't intend to let Limao's logistician Ma Niang be idle.

He sent a document to Xinxin Guanghui: "It's homework for Guanghui. This is the training data and specific evaluations of the horse girls before a race, as well as the specific information on the race track. Of course, the horse girls who participated I have changed the name and some unimportant information. I want to see how Guanghui will analyze this game."

"Okay!" Xinxin Guanghui nodded repeatedly, and received the electronic document with his mobile phone.

She didn't know that Zhou Tai'an's question for herself was based on his mother Alice's de facto retirement from the Flash Series - the British Championship.

In this game, Alice, who was regarded as the number one favorite before the game, lost to the big upset Rose Bowl with a gap of 1 and 3/4 horses.

This is also the game that Zhou Taian often listened to his mother complaining about.Alice has always felt that she should not have lost this game, but there was a serious problem in the pre-match planning that caused the rhythm to collapse and she couldn't show her true strength—by the way, this analysis was made by her father later. disk.My mother just knew that she lost in a muddleheaded way.

"Then what kind of answer will Guanghui give me?" Zhou Tai'an had expectations for the chestnut-haired horse girl.He hoped that he could put forward his own opinions following the brand-new brilliance he had been studying for a long time, even if it didn't match the facts.

The French URA Association is sorting out the registration list for the Jockey Club championship.

"To be honest, with this lineup, I feel that the chances of the Japanese horse girl winning the second championship are not small." A staff complained.

"How is it possible?" But more voices tended to be less optimistic about Xiao Limao, "Look at her last performance at the Longchamp Racecourse. If she is 50 meters longer, she will be arrested by Shy John."

"The 2400 meters in Chantilly is definitely not a distance that that guy can persist." This is not only the consensus of most staff in the office, but also the consensus of the current French media and experts.

Zhou Tai'an was very clear about these people's views, but he didn't care.

"France's 2000 guineas before I thought Oguri had no chance of winning."

Sitting on the jumping chair next to the training ground, I scanned the French derby preview of Xiao Limao from this group of experts and media.Zhou Tai'an's evaluation is - not to say it's a bunch of nonsense, but it can only be said to be based on pictures.

"Even Oguri's French 2000 guineas finally lost all strength and could only burn their roots... Do these French guys really think that their French 2000 is more difficult than the British 2000 guineas at the Yesen Racecourse next door?"

"I thought that after winning the 2000 guineas in France, Xiaoli might be taken seriously, but seeing these media experts, I probably don't have to worry that Xiaoli will be marked by the opponents in the game." The young trainer put down his phone.

68. Analysis of inside opponents

There are still five days left before the start of the French Jockey Club Championship, and the final entry list has also been finalized.To Zhou Tai'an's surprise, compared with the French 2000 Guineas, there were far more horse girls who chose to compete until the end of this second French classic - a total of 16.

"There are so many 16th...should it be ranked in the forefront in the history of the French Derby?" Brand New Glory asked after seeing the final entry list.

"In history, the French Derby with the largest number of horses participating in the same year was more than 40 years ago. There were 28 horses participating in the French Derby, and the winner was Magister." Zhou Tai'an replied, "Later, there were two more 22 horses. The French Derby my mother participated in."

"Speaking of which, it's not bad for 16 players to participate." Xin Guanghui shook his head, "Considering the track of the Chantilly Racecourse, it is acceptable for Oguri to have 15 opponents this time."

"It's better to say that I really like this kind of competition." Zhou Tai'an shook the registration form in his hand, "The French URA Association should announce the gate position this afternoon, and I hope to draw a suitable gate position, not too far inside. Don't go too far."

"The trainer just said that it's fine if you want the middle position." Xinxin Guanghui pinched his waist lightly while complaining, "Sure enough, the trainer is still worried about whether Xiaoli can run out of this game, right?"

"Before you run, you must be worried." Zhou Tai'an shrugged. Although he was sure and confident in Xiao Limao, it was because of this that worries kept popping up.

"If Xiaoli doesn't have any chance to win, then I don't need to worry." Zhou Tai'an muttered softly, "Because she is very strong, that's why I'm worried."

As the saying goes, "care leads to chaos".

In the afternoon, instead of going back to his room to rest, Zhou Taian took his laptop and stayed in the coffee shop, constantly refreshing the official website of the French URA Association, hoping to see the results of the gate lottery as soon as possible.

And Xinxin Guanghui and Xiao Limao sat on both sides of him, and the two horse girls also cast their eyes on Zhou Taian's computer screen.They are also very concerned about the result of this gate position.

"I hope to give Xiaoli the middle gate." Zhou Taian repeated in his mouth.

Brand-new Guanghui clasped his palms together and kept shaking, obviously praying for his friend from the bottom of his heart.

Xiaoli Mao is the most calm one here.In her opinion, no matter what kind of barriers she gets, she only needs to be the first to cross the line.

"What's more, no matter what kind of gate position is drawn, the trainer will definitely plan for me how to play the game." More than a year is enough for Ma Niang Lumao to trust Zhou Tai'an's calculations.

……

Although usually the work of the French URA Association is not very focused, but this time the announcement of the gate table has not been delayed.

Zhou Taian clicked on the webpage, and the gate table of this year's French Derby appeared in front of him.
