Chapter 37: Horseback riding
The paddock here is exclusively for the royal family, and is guarded and patrolled by soldiers all year round, and they would not have been able to enter it unless they had followed Prince Oak.
The horses they rode were fastened to a place outside, and there were special horses inside. It is said that because the enclosure is too large and there are all kinds of traps for predators, the horses raised here are more familiar with the environment and are relatively safer.
"This Pingle County Lord is too ashamed, he always pesters Major General Sima!"
"Shhhh Don't say it, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth! ”
As soon as Jinsu and the others came in, the two stopped talking. When I looked up, I saw that not far away, Sima Huaibei was teaching An Yasheng to ride a horse.
Prince Oak shouted at Sima Huaibei, "Huaibei~", and when Sima Huaibei turned to look at him, Prince Oak waved his hand vigorously.
"Let's go to Soma first, and then get acquainted with our horses first, the grass here is for you to gallop, but don't go into the forest there, especially the ladies!" Prince Oak solemnly arranged, "When you hear the sound of the gong, no matter where you are, you must come back here to gather!" Do you know all about it? ”
Everyone replied in unison, "Got it! ”
Led by the soldiers, everyone went to pick a horse and galloped towards the vast meadow in high spirits.
Anya was the only one who didn't ride alone, so he had to wait at the entrance of the paddock with the rest of his attendants. Sima Huaibei was not at ease, and before leaving, he specially explained to all the soldiers that she must not be allowed to get on the horse, and violators will be punished with military orders.
As a result, An Yasheng could only watch with hatred as other official ladies followed Sima Huaibei.
"Drive, drive!" As soon as Jinsu raised his whip, the horse ran wantonly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a hundred meters away.
She was originally a woman who liked freedom, and she was cautious and intrigued in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was really not what she wanted. If she could, she would have just ridden the horse and wandered the world.
"Drive! Drive! ”
As soon as the whip went down, the horse neighed and ran wildly.
With the endless grassland in front of her and the whirring wind in her ears, she was extremely relaxed at this moment.
"Miss Ann!" There was a voice from behind.
Looking back, it turned out that Sima Huaibei had caught up.
"Miss An seems to be very skilled!" Sima Huaibei said.
"Naturally, it can't be compared with the major general."
Seeing that Prince Oak and An Suqing were also coming this way, Jinsu gradually slowed down and let the horses carry her for a walk.
When they got closer, Prince Oak said, "Hey~, I said, you guys are running too fast!" ”
"Isn't the pleasure of horseback riding all about galloping?" Jin Su said with a smile.
"That's right", Sima Huaibei also smiled and agreed.
"What's the point of riding like this, why don't we have some color~"
"Lord Wang, do you have any good ideas!?" Sima Huaibei asked with some disgust.
Prince Oak raised his hand and pointed to the tree in front of him, "Let's ride over, break a branch for each of us, and you will wait for us here, and whoever gives you the branch first will win." ”
"Is there any reward for winning?" Jinsu asked.
"A drink!" Prince Li and Sima Huaibei said in unison, and after speaking, several people laughed.
Just do it, all three of them are pulling the reins in a horizontal position and preparing, and Jinsu is right in the middle.
An Suqing sighed, "Ready!" Begin! ”
The three of them rushed in unison.
But the three of them have always been in equal shape, and no one is far behind.
Seeing that the tree was about to arrive, if Jinsu couldn't distance herself from them at this time, when she turned back after a while, she was likely to fall off the horse, and if she was not careful, she might be trampled by the horse.
But Prince Oak and Sima Huaibei next to him had no intention of slowing down, and Jin Su was unwilling to take risks in order to compete for a high level. He loosened his legs slightly, trying to make the horse relax and slow down.
But for some reason, the horse still ran like crazy, and there was no intention of slowing down at all.
Jinsu pulled the reins and shouted, "Phew, hoo! ”
Still didn't work.
Sima Huaibei on the side also seemed to have discovered this problem, and he also knew the seriousness of the consequences, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Prince Oak also looked at Jinsu inexplicably.
She was now trying her best to control the direction of the horse's run, hoping that she would not be left behind.
Prince Oak shouted, "Huaibei, her horse seems to be out of control, what should I do?" If she goes on like this, she'll definitely be thrown off! ”
"Lord Wang, you lean over and pull the reins! Run forward! After Sima Huaibei finished speaking, he flew and pounced on Jinsu.
The two of them hugged each other, just passing by Prince Oak, but fortunately he had already leaned over the horse in advance, otherwise he would definitely be knocked out of balance by the sudden two people.
Jin Su was tightly hugged by Sima Huaibei and rolled around several times before stopping. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Sima Huaibei's familiar face.
Although he is only in his early twenties, he is a battle-hardened man after all, with dark skin, strong physique, and more importantly, he is calm and calm, and he has a maturity that does not belong to this age. But unlike Feng Yao, Sima Huaibei's gaze was warm and clean, not as cold and deep as him.
Tsk~ What was she thinking? Why do you compare everyone you see with Feng Yao!
"You two, are you alright?"
Prince Li's voice interrupted her thoughts, I don't know if she was overwhelmed, or if she was too close to Sima Huaibei and was a little embarrassed, she coughed twice.
Sima Huaibei suddenly got up from her and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
It's still good for Prince Oak, squatting down to help Jin Su up, and giving her a smooth breath, relieving her for a while, before saying, "I'm fine!" ”
"It's okay, otherwise this king won't be able to eat anymore and will leave." Prince Oak also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you to Lord Wang and Major General Sima for rescuing!" She said politely.
"Well, how can your horse run like crazy?" Sima Huaibei seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was asking her.
Jin Su recalled carefully, although there were always little soldiers following when she went to choose the horse just now, the horse was only chosen by herself after all, and she didn't see anything abnormal at that time.
"I guess I was frightened somewhere when I ran over!" Jinsu muttered.
"Dangdangdang" a gong sounded.
Prince Oak also stood up, and together with Sima Huaibei, they all looked towards the entrance of the paddock. According to the agreement just now, once the gongs and drums sound again, we must go back there. But at this moment, she and Sima Huaibei's horses are gone, and I am afraid it will be difficult to go back for a while.
The two looked at each other, and their faces were not very good.
"Lord Wang, take your horse and use it!" Sima Huaibei stepped on the horse as he spoke.
"Eh, Huaibei, the wound on your face ......," Prince Oak shouted.
If Prince Oak didn't say it, Jin Su didn't notice that there was a slight abrasion on Sima Huaibei's forehead, and a little blood beads oozed out.
Sima Huaibei didn't care and said, "It's okay, it's not an injury at all." Lord, I'll go and see the situation first, and I'll have two horses come and pick you up later." ”
"Good!" Oak Prince Road.
