Chapter 104: Black Cloud is a horse with a background
This person feels very familiar to her, familiar like a friend who gets along day and night, but she thinks that she has no Fengjing royal family in her ordinary life, so she can only say that she is delusional again.
Gu Qi shook his head, turned his face to the side, gently patted his neck as he sat down on the horse, and whispered: "Heiyun, you have to be obedient later, it's all up to you today." ”
The horse snorted, as if in response to her call.
Gu Qi rode the horse all over the body, with only a black mark on its head, which looked like a flowing cloud floating in the air, so it was named Black Cloud. According to the master of the Xiangfu horse shed, this black cloud is the most obedient and spiritual, just because of his size. Small and not grown, it is rarely chosen by people.
Today's martial arts test is Heiyun's debut, but like Gu Qi, she is just a foil for this game, and today she is just Xia Jin's personal companion.
"Are you all ready?"
Master Li of the military department scanned the audience with sharp eyes, and saw that everyone was sitting on horseback with high morale, like sharp arrows ready to attack.
Everyone bowed slightly to Lord Li, and each controlled the horses under them, waiting for the final order.
"Oooh-" The gong sounded.
Everyone clamped the horse's belly, flicked the horsewhip, and disappeared in a short time, each relying on their ability to find the purpose.
Gu Qi also snorted lightly, followed closely behind the team of these people, and waited for an opportunity to secretly help Xia Jin win the competition.
The deep and shallow pits dug yesterday did their job, and after a while, a few people who did not know their names fell from their horses, and sat there one by one scolding and scolding.
It's a pity that even if they are scolding, they will miss the opportunity to compete, because this competition also stipulates that as long as they fall off the horse, they will be considered abstaining.
After a short distance, many people have been forced to stop the competition, and at this time, in addition to the third prince, Xia Jin and the man wearing the veil, are ahead of everyone.
The three of them were running on the wide track, and it seemed that no one wanted to be half a point behind.
Gu Qi rode the black cloud and followed closely behind, for fear that one would be accidentally left behind, but her equestrian skills were learned by chasing ducks on the shelf, and those who started learning since childhood must be simply different from cloud and mud.
In order not to fall off the black cloud, Gu Qi tried his best to lie on the back of the horse and made a detour from the small woods next to the track.
Seeing that he was almost at the place where he was looking for the Ling Qi, Gu Qi raised his mind slightly from the horse, and found that the three people before him had disappeared without a trace, and only occasionally heard a few horse bells from the woods.
"Oh no, the young master is gone." Gu Qi sighed secretly, grabbed the reins of the horse, and snorted in a low voice, urging the black cloud under him to run quickly.
There were just three forks in the woods in front of her, and she didn't know which one to choose, so she could only pick one casually and chase after her, hoping that she could see Xia Jin in front of her.
The dense forest that covered the sky and the sun was like a labyrinth, making her lose her direction, so she had to rely on her fairly clear eyes to look for the thin figure in the dense forest from time to time.
"Young Master, where are you, Young Master? Young Master Jin? ”
Gu Qi whispered a few words to the silent woods around him, only to hear a few birdsongs rising into the sky, as if he was frightened by his own voice.
Seeing that no one responded, Gu Qi turned the horse's head and was about to turn away, when suddenly, the bushes behind her rustled a few times, and a man and a horse appeared in front of her with their heads held high.
She has seen this person, it is Mu Ronghua, the third prince of Beichen.
The third prince was dressed in a military uniform, with a sword at his waist, his black hair was combed in a neat bun on the top of his hair, and his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her thoughtfully.
"Who are you from, and who made you do this?" The cold voice revealed a chill.
Gu Qi bit her lower lip tightly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and suddenly, she had an idea: "The slave was ordered by the little prince to secretly assist His Highness." ”
"Junyu? Did he ask you to do this? The third prince sat in the carriage and looked at her condescendingly in order to lift his chin.
"Yes, it is true that the little prince sent me over, and the villain does not dare to deceive His Highness." Gu Qi calmed down and replied pretending to be calm.
"Hmph, Jun Yu has a heart this time, but-" The third prince glanced at Gu Qi suspiciously, and there was a joke in his voice: "As far as I know, hasn't Jun Yu always liked Xia Jin's timid and scared guy?" ”
"This ...... This ......" Gu Qi's mind was spinning rapidly: "Your Highness, you should know, although the prince favors Young Master Jin, but Young Master Jin is only the noble son of Zaifu, and Your Highness, you are different, the only one the prince wants!" ”
"Really?" The third prince on the opposite side raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Qi without blinking, and said with a smile: "If this king is not mistaken, this horse of yours should be called Heiyun, right?" ”
Black clouds, how did he know that he was riding black clouds?
Gu Qi's eyelids lifted slightly, as if he sensed that danger was approaching.
Sure enough, the three princes continued regardless of it: "There was a divine horse in the Prime Minister's Mansion, named Month by Month, but he traveled thousands of miles a day, and he sneaked out for three days day by month, and returned by himself after three days, and a few months later, he ran away again month by month, only after coming back this time, it was followed by a pony, and there was a cloud-like markings on the horse's forehead, so it was named Black Cloud, and you said that His Royal Highness was right?" ”
Gu Qi was embarrassed, no one thought that this black cloud would have such a shocking origin, and the master of the strange horse shed said that the black cloud was the most psychic, and he dared to love this guy who turned out to be a descendant of Maxima.
Is it too good in his own eyes, or is the master of the stable deliberately trying to harm him, and he actually chose such a horse with a background for her.
Seeing that Gu Qi didn't speak, the third prince immediately shouted: "Bold thief, dare to deceive His Royal Highness, I think you don't want to live anymore!" Then he drew the sword from his waist and stabbed it.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Gu Qi was ready to die here, but only heard a "bang" over there, and there seemed to be a sound of metal colliding.
Gu Qi opened her eyes and saw that the veiled man appeared between her and the third prince at some point, and took the sword for her.
"Don't go yet!"
The veiled man yelled at her, and immediately brought the frightened Gu Qi back to his senses, hurriedly shouted, grabbed the reins, and rushed out.
Seeing Gu Qi's figure getting farther and farther away, the masked man withdrew the sword that blocked the third prince, and looked at him fiercely with frosty eyes.
"Big brother, why do you want to protect Xia Jin's people?" The third prince, who had already seen his identity, asked.
How could he not know the veiled man in front of him, even if he turned to ashes, he would know this person!
