Chapter 8: The Falling Horse

The two faced off on the field, and even though I was far away, I could feel the stalemate of the atmosphere.

"Princess, this Xiao Ao is deliberate, the fourth prince is still young, where is his opponent of the Yulin Commander?"

I watched the competition on the field, Xiao Ao was full of spirit, worthy of Yulin's bravery. Jing Hong didn't know what he was thinking, he looked absent-minded, and his momentum was obviously at a disadvantage.

Xiao Ao turned over and got on the horse, and the lion under his crotch was majestic, walking and running like the wind, winning bursts of applause on the stage.

Chang Jieyu told an interesting story at this time: "The concubine lived in the countryside when she was young, and she never saw others riding horses. I didn't think about it, and because of this injury, my limbs became a lot softer when I practiced dancing......"

Xiao Guifei chuckled lightly on the side: "Which woman in the world can be as blessed by misfortune as her sister, if someone else falls off the horse, I am afraid that she will not get better for three or five months." ”

I was watching the sisterhood between the two, and I suddenly grabbed my sleeve and said in disbelief: "Male...... Princess, the fourth prince, he fell off his horse!"

"What?!"

Everyone was horrified, and my heart jumped, and I immediately turned my head to look at the field.

I saw Jing Hong curled up on the field in pain, but Xiao Ao was casually pulling the reins and watching.

The emperor was shocked and shouted, "Someone is coming!

I watched the situation of Jing Hong on the field with worry, and accidentally noticed that his mount Hua Qi was pacing up and trembling on one leg, and then I looked at Xiao Ao with a smug face, and I suddenly understood.

Jing Hong was carried down by the imperial doctor who rushed over, and I got up and knelt in front of the emperor: "Father, since the first Yang, the son-in-law has not tried equestrianism in public for many years, and today the son-in-law admires General Xiao and wants to learn from him." ”

The emperor estimated that he was stimulated by Jing Hong, who was talented, and was embarrassed: "Yue'er, you are a girl, and you will be inferior to a man." If you really want to compete, a women's riding and archery competition will be arranged in a while, and you can let me see how much you have grown in the past few years......"

I interrupted the emperor's words: "Father, riding and archery is about skills, not about the difference between men and women, please also ask my father to do it!"

The emperor was stunned for a long time, and asked, "If you play, do you have a mount?"

"The widow lent Xiao Yue'er the 'shadow of Shen Zhan', and the right to help her. "King Yan generously relieved me of the siege.

I was about to accept it, but I noticed Lian Xi's staring gaze, so I had to hurriedly refuse: "'Shadow' is too strong, and the retainer needs to find a gentle horse, and I think that the brown horse of the young man Pei is very suitable for the retainer." ”

Pei Shao muttered reluctantly: "My 'chasing after the food' just lost, and now I'm sad in the back, you better find another one." ”

"I'll lend you Chongjiu's 'chirping'. On the other side, Zhen Guogong, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke, and the guards on his side immediately brought the purple horse that he had ridden day and night.

I took the reins with gratitude, and the horse, as if spiritual, came over and licked my palm when I stroked its mane.

I rode up and galloped to the field, and at that moment, I remembered the days when I rode my horse with Kuro, carefree. I don't know what the situation is like when he is in Jiangnan now.

"Celestial Princess, please!"

Xiao Ao glanced at me sympathetically, and rode the lion to go ahead of me. I grabbed the horse's belly and chased after it with a whip, and the cold wind poured into my neck.

"Drive!"

"Commander Xiao has extraordinary equestrian skills, and he knows how to be one step ahead, I don't know where this rule comes from?"

"The eldest princess has won the prize, but the last general doesn't know if this horse under the crotch of the princess can outrun my 'fire'!"

"Driving! Ninth Master's horse, haven't you seen its power?"

"Awesome? I saw him riding with Princess Lanshao, looking like he was playing in the mountains and rivers, how awesome is it?!"

"......" I was stunned for a moment, the reins in my hand loosened a little, and my body slanted a little with the bump on the horse's back.

"Princess!" I heard someone call out to me, and it sounded like Thirteen, "be careful!"

The crowd looked at him speechlessly.

"Drive!" I came back to my senses and sped up to follow.

"The princess is really a good measure, and Xiao admires that she can be so calm when she hears these words. ”

"You're talking nonsense here, distracting me!"

"If the princess doesn't believe it, you can ask this Chang'an people, in the three years you have been a monk, what did he Yuwen Qiye have with Lan Shao!"

I knew it in my heart and said, "It's just that Lan Shao loves him, what else can there be?"

Xiao Ao snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "Love him, Princess Lan Shao is gentle and dignified, and has been favored by many children of the family, she is more than a hundred times stronger than you, a fierce woman, and you still need to love him hard!"

"Drive!" I was enraged by him, and a whip was slammed on the horse's back, and the "chirping" was in pain, and I ran a little uncontrollably, and I was dizzy for a while.

Lan Shao is gentle and dignified, a hundred times stronger than my fierce woman......

My mind went blank for a moment, and I remembered for no reason what Chu Yang said to me before he set out on the expedition: "...... Everyone in Chang'an City said that you were unusually bold, but I didn't expect it to be like this......"

I didn't expect to be like this......

I was in a hurry, and I pulled the reins sharply, and the "schiar" raised my front hooves and screamed so loudly that I almost threw me off my horse.

"Princess--"

"Yue'er--"

I listened to the exclamations of the crowd from the viewing platform, but I didn't realize what was going on, and my eyes suddenly went black, and I fell straight to the ground.

"Bang--" There was a muffled sound on the ground, raising countless pieces of yellow sand.

I heard the sound of bones breaking in my body, the wound on my shoulder that had just healed was cracking again, and the pain of splitting my bones made me gasp.

My vision blurred, and I vaguely saw Xiao Ao riding a lion skull past me.

After a long time, a white shadow fell into my eyes, and I raised my head with difficulty and looked at me with a blank expression: "Why are you making such a mess of yourself." ”

I smiled bitterly, and found that even the corners of my mouth were in great pain.

There was astringency in his throat, and even his voice was choppy: "What if...... It's him, he's going to say that you're making yourself so embarrassed...... It's so ...... It's so promising......"

If it was Jiulang, if he didn't deceive me like Allure and Xiao Ao said, if he treated me sincerely, then he would definitely leave this ghost place with me in his arms at this moment.

"Kurou ......"

A second before I couldn't close my eyes, I was gently picked up.

His body radiated shade, like a white and lonely moonlight in the middle of the night in my broken memory......
