Chapter 18: The Green Horse
In the spring of the tenth year of Yangming, the southern patrol hunting, the holy drive camped at the foot of Qinglian Mountain, encountered wild horses galloping past, broke up the camp tent, and was rumored to be a spectacle for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ashigaru movie, God is heavenly, Zezi flies and practices, and I am dressed. This horse is a real BMW! ”
Gao Yang was recovering from a serious illness at that time, and his sallow face was still blushing, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh from the words of his ancestors.
A pale variegated steed galloped between the tents, its hooves churning, its long mane flying, and its posture was as elegant as that of a nobleman among horses. It seemed to realize that it had gone astray, and it raised its head to the sky and howled, and in response to this mournful neigh, a motley herd of horses poured out from all directions, and rushed towards the camp. The soldiers had never seen such a large herd of horses, and they hurried to the royal family down the hill, allowing the wild horses to run rampant among the tents they had just set up.
"Soldiers, if anyone can trap that green horse, I will be rewarded!"
Gao Yang stood on the chariot, pointed to the handsome BMW led by the mighty horse, and said loudly. For a while, everyone was gearing up and eager to try. Yang Houxinyue, who was sitting beside Gao Yang, smiled and gently patted the shoulder of the crown prince Gao Zhen, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient, and there was no need to fight for merit.
"If the queen mother is not in gorgeous clothes, she must be itching." Gao Zhen smiled slightly and said in a low voice, Xin Yue glanced at him with disgust and no words.
After the five skilled generals discussed with each other, they slowly approached the camp with a long rope in hand. Qing Hu was hovering in front of His Majesty's imperial tent, anxiously plowing the ground with his hooves from time to time, and looking around with bright eyes. The generals adopted a siege strategy, quietly approaching the imperial tent and surrounding the green horse in the center.
At the sound of an order, the five people tightened the encirclement at the same time, and rushed up, one of them threw out the rope and accurately lassoed the horse's neck, and the green horse was bound, letting out a mournful roar, and the onlookers saw this and applauded in unison.
The man was holding a long rope and was saluting the crowd with a smug face, but before he could watch out for the green horse to raise his leg, he struck him head-on, kicked him to the ground, and then rushed out with the rope in his hand. When the rest of the soldiers saw him lying on the ground covered in blood, and their life and death were uncertain, they all hugged him, but only one tried to chase the horse, but it was difficult to see him.
Seeing that Qing Hu was about to rush out of the camp gate and leave, a fiery red figure flashed out of the tent on the side, just stopping its way. Before she could rein in her momentum, she galloped forward, trying to get past her and escape, but she took the opportunity to hold on to the rope around her neck, and with the help of her strength, she jumped onto the horse.
"Song ......"
Gao Zhen's face changed, and he got up and was about to go to help, but Gao Yang stopped him with his eyes.
"I'm just trying to see how Ge'er's kung fu is now." He groaned.
Qing Hu noticed the weight on his back, and immediately became manic. It galloped around the camp with its hooves plucked, leaping up and down, trying to shake off the little man, but she wrapped her arms around the horse's neck, clinging to it like a plaster, and did not move.
After a few laps, the speed of the green horse slowed down, as if it was tired, and it ran in small steps, but no longer struggled. Zi Gefang on horseback slowly stood up, trying to drive it to the emperor's chariot, and a smile bloomed on his face. The onlookers let out a burst of cheers, and Gao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fists slowly loosened.
"It seems that this young man is just ...... like that"
He sighed softly and said.
At this moment, Qing Hao glanced up at the crowd from above, and suddenly launched a frenzy again. It shook violently, its front hooves raised. Zige was negligent for a moment, and half of his body hung on his side, holding half of the rope in his hand.
Seeing this, Gao Zhen was in a hurry, ignoring his father's previous order, jumped out of the chariot, and ran towards the green horse. Several personal attendants hurriedly followed, and the leader loudly persuaded: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is difficult to surprise the horse, don't hurt your body!" ”
"Miao Qing, step aside!"
He shouted in a low voice, unmoved, and snatched the rope of the trembling military commander from the side, and quickly tied it into a slipknot. Zige hung on the horse's neck, his little face was pale, and he was able to maintain the balance of his body.
"Don't be afraid, Ge'er, Brother Zhen is here!"
Gao Zhen threw the rope out and hit the horse's neck impartially. Qing Hu shook his head in anger, but he flew on the horse, landed firmly on the horse's back, and took Zige into his arms.
"Brother Zhen......"
Zige grabbed his clothes in front of him and shouted quietly, cold sweat on his face. He clamped the horse's belly and held the rope firmly in the palm of his hand, and the green horse seemed to feel his oppressive pressure, and finally gave up resistance, and honestly walked towards the imperial chariot under his drive.
Gao Yang had already stepped down at this time, looking up at the two people on the horse. The sun was scorching, and his face was hidden behind a piece of jade, and it was difficult to distinguish joy and anger.
Gao Zhen hugged Zige, turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to the servants who had been waiting for a long time, and then faced Gao Yang directly, and said loudly: "The son is afraid that his sister will lose, so in a hurry, he rushed to save him, and asked his father to punish him." ”
"Your Majesty...... Uncle...... Ge'er knew she was wrong. ”
Zige lowered his head, climbed down from Gao Zhen's arms, and knelt on the ground. And Gao Zhen is still standing with his waist straight, at eye level with Gao Yang.
"Zhen'er cares about chaos, and I have no intention of punishing. It's just ......" Gao Yang stared at him for a moment, and Fang Shen said, "The chief of the prince's guard saw that the lord was in danger, and the guards were not careful, and the staff was forty years old. ”
When Gao Zhen heard this, his face tightened, and he was about to argue, but someone next to him immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Chen Miaoqing has the order!" ”
"Let's go down." Gao Yang waved his hand as if he was tired, his gaze crossed Gao Zhen's stubborn face, and then fell on Zige, "Ge'er has such courage at a young age, and he is a royal horse with his bare hands. I will do what I say, and I will be rewarded. ”
His voice paused, as if he was thinking about something, Yang Xinyue, who was accompanying him, saw this and said: "The song child's heart is not clear, Your Majesty has not blamed it is already a grace of heaven, just give her some interesting things." ”
Gao Yang glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and said in a voice: "On the same day, I will give the loyal martyr's daughter Yang Zige as the lord of Ningze, and reward the pearl of ten hundreds." ”
The smile on Yang Xinyue's face trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything more. A woman came out of the crowd, knelt down beside Zige, who was stunned, and pulled her along to thank her.
"Cheap concubine Lin, thank Your Majesty for your grace." Lin Lan lowered her head and said softly.
"The Gao family is revived, supplemented by the Yang family, and Ge'er will revitalize the rivers and mountains for me in the future." The jade covered his face, and there was a faint smile in Gao Yang's voice, but his face was shrouded in shadows. He waved his hand to signal the two to be flat, and then boarded away with the support of Grandpa Cen.
The crowd dispersed and took their places, only Gao Zhen still stood in place, one hand clenched into a fist.
"Brother Zhen......" Zige pulled the corner of his sleeve and said hesitantly, not daring to look at Gao Zhen's eyes. The crown ceremony is going to be held next month, and Ge'er wants to give you a big gift......"
Gao Zhen lowered his eyes, looked at Zige with a pitiful expression beside him, and finally endured it silently. He gently stroked the tips of Zige's hair, and his black and white eyes showed a little pity.
"I must like the gift from Ge'er very much."
He sighed softly.
Gift......
He will be very fond of it......
Mu Lixuan's voice sounded in her ears, muttering in a deep voice, word by word, like a handful of hot springs, wandering in her heart, warm and warm.
The tear slid down the tip of her drooping nose and fell into her blue and white dress. Zige closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth uncontrollably unfolded a faint smile.
