Chapter IX.4

"But then the horse is a good horse. The color of the coat is really shiny, it is standing in front of the groove and eating grass, and the momentum is much more powerful than the horse next to it! Wang Yu praised the sweaty BMW from the bottom of his heart.

Dugu Yanxiang sat in his seat and pretended to look at the book, but he was actually listening to Wang Yu's conversation with other students.

He flickered his eyes and noticed that the crown prince Yan Long was also listening to all this. Then Wang Yu stepped forward and said to him: "Prince, don't you want to surrender after such a sweaty horse?" ”

"Hmph, the whole world belongs to this prince, why should I care about a horse." Yan Long said with a haughty raised eyebrow.

"It is admirable that the prince swallows mountains and rivers, but I heard that the emperor held a horse training conference to see who can surrender this horse, and I heard that His Majesty will definitely do his best to cultivate this horse for later use." Wang Yu said again.

"Not bad, not bad, otherwise it's just a fierce horse, why would Your Majesty hold a horse training conference?" Qi Wen, the son of the head of the household book, said.

"Huh? Why didn't the prince descend the fierce horse in advance, when the horse taming conference opened, and the fierce horse only recognized you, see who dares to compete with you in the court, then naturally you will be worthy of His Majesty's reuse in the future. "Qi is a loyal princeling.

After hearing this, the crown prince Yan Long couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart: "Also, if I surrender the fierce horse in advance, although my father will accuse me of not following the rules, he will definitely be pleased with my bravery." In the future, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep the position of the prince. ”

With such a thought in his heart, coupled with Wang Yu's somewhat contemptuous view of Dugu Yanxiang, he said: "That's right, prince, you are the future prince of my Da Jiang, if you can't even handle a horse tamer, how will you convince everyone in the future." ”

Yan Long looked at everyone, saw that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, and thought: "As the crown prince, this monarch wants to make the world surrender, it seems that it is time for this monarch to establish his authority." ”

He got up, straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go, Benjun will go and see what is so powerful about this bloody BMW?" ”

Seeing this, Shangguan Beitang persuaded: "What is the prince anxious about, the horse training conference will start in three days, if the prince has real skills, it will not be too late to show his demeanor." Now that the emperor has ordered no one to break the rules in advance, isn't it disrespectful for the prince to do this? ”

Dugu Yanlong glanced at him arrogantly, and snorted coldly: "What do you know? Immediately, the Emperor's orders are for you to follow, not for me. ”

He walked out without being dissuaded, and the crowd followed him out of the school.

Dugu Yanxiang sat on the desk and did not move. Looking at Dugu Yanlong's radiant back, a strange evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But he soon took that smile back, as he caught a glimpse of Shangguan Beitang looking at him.

"Brother Yan Xiang, here, should we report to Your Majesty?" Shangguan Beitang looked at him with some confusion.

"With everyone with him, the prince should be fine, besides, my father is worried about the border in the past two days, so let's not disturb him." Don't worry, he is the crown prince and has the support of everyone, so there should be nothing wrong. Dugu Yanxiang said while reading.

Shangguan Beitang had become accustomed to the indifference of the two brothers over the years, so he didn't say anything more. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Dugu Yanlong walked out of the school, just when the master was about to come to class. The master asked, "Where is the prince going?" ”

"Old man, you don't have to be nosy." The prince glared at the master.

"Now, class is coming soon." Again, the Master said.

"Dugu Yanxiang is here, you go and give it to him." Dugu Yanlong said and pushed the master who was blocking the road away.

Seeing that the prince was backing them, the other sons naturally didn't take the master in their eyes, and followed the prince away.

When everyone came to the horse farm, Dugu Yanlong called the horse trainer and said, "Hurry up and bring the bloody BMW to the prince." ”

The horse tamer said respectfully: "Prince, this horse has not been domesticated, it is better to stay away, if it hurts the prince, he can't afford it!" ”

"Bold, you little horse official, you dare to curse the prince, the prince is a real dragon descending to earth, how can he be afraid of a mere horse." Wang Yu said resentfully.

"The lower officer doesn't dare, it's just," the horse trainer hurriedly knelt down and explained.

But where does Dugu Yanlong have the patience to listen to him? He waved his hand and motioned for the group to pull the trainer aside.

"Prince, Your Majesty has an order, this horse needs to be tamed in three days, and today, the minister can't let you enter this horse farm for anything." The horse trainer broke free from the crowd and stood in front of the prince.

"Bold, dare to disobey the order of this prince, come on, drag down the rod and punish eighty." Dugu Yanlong said impatiently.

Everyone naturally clings to the powerful, where will they put a small horse trainer in their eyes. snatched the key from his hand and beat him to the ground.

Dugu Yanlong forcibly entered the horse farm, looked at the fierce horse, couldn't help but love it in his heart, stepped forward and stroked it lightly and said, "Today, this monarch will definitely subdue you." ”

He reached out and untied the reins from the sweaty horse, rolled over, and got on the horse's back.

The horse was originally a free thing, where was it willing to be restrained by him, only to see it jump, and with a roar, it almost threw Dugu Yanlong off his back.

Dugu Yanlong was shocked in his heart, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly grabbed the reins. In an instant, he knew that this horse was not something he could subdue.

But how could he easily come down on horseback, looking at the eyes of everyone looking at him, he felt that he couldn't lose face in front of people, otherwise how could he stand in front of everyone.

So he stiffened his head and shouted, "Drive." "Gallop with the horse.

The horse farm was dusty, and Dugu Yanlong's heart was about to vomit out when he was riding on horseback. He felt like he was in hell, surrounded by madness and danger, and he was afraid that he would fall.

But the more scared you are, the more cautious you are, which backfires and loses your sense of proportion.

accidentally jerked the horse violently, how could the fierce horse be tamed, and naturally ran more violently, and twisted his body to try to throw Dugu Yanlong down.

Dugu Yanlong grabbed a hand of sweat, and the reins he was holding were also soaked, so the reins slipped from his hands. The horse raised its head to the sky and roared, and its front hooves soared into the air, as if it were furious with the sky.

Dugu Yanlong fell to the ground with his back to the ground under the violent bumps. He screamed, but it was too late, and he just lay straight on the ground.

And the fierce horse seemed to have an enmity with him, and kicked and jumped on the spot. Somehow, with a kick of the hind hoof, it hit Dugu Yanlong's head.

Dugu Yanlong, who was dizzy from the fall, where could he avoid this violent kick. I actually took it very well.

However, it was this kick that killed him.

When everyone saw that the horse was extremely untamed, they were very anxious, but no one dared to come forward to rescue the prince. I could only watch the prince being thrown off the horse and kicked.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, he hurriedly sent someone to report to the palace, he pressed his butt to endure the pain, and said to the small servant on the side: "Quick, go to the palace to report, just say that His Royal Highness the Prince broke into the horse farm and privately surrendered the fierce horse." I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

The little guy took the boss's token and hurriedly ran into the palace.

At that time, Emperor Rongzong Dugu Yan was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly threw down the folds in his hand and rushed to the racecourse.

But by the time he got to the racecourse, it was too late. One of his favorite sons, Dugu Yanlong, was lying there, motionless.

In an instant, he felt his eyes dizzy, and five thunderbolts thundered. He looked at his son with teary eyes. In a hurry, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The people were terrified, and they hurried to carry him to the temple. The imperial doctors, palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines of various palaces were all in a mess.

Only Dugu Yanxiang did not move. As if it had nothing to do with him, he still read books, practiced swords, and ignored everything that happened in the palace.

In the evening, Dugu Yan woke up, and he ordered the bloody horse to be killed, but did not punish everyone who went with the prince. Instead, he asked his subordinates to call Dugu Yanxiang.

As for why the emperor would look for him at this time, Dugu Yanxiang was very puzzled. Maybe my father thought that this matter had nothing to do with him from the bottom of his heart.

Dugu Yanxiang walked into his father's bedroom, looked at his father lying on the bed, saluted and asked softly, "Is my father better?" ”

Emperor Rongzong didn't look at him, but asked directly: "Tell me, how did you do it?" ”

"What did my father say and how?" Dugu Yanxiang looked at the emperor with some puzzlement.

"How much have you been involved in this?" Emperor Rongzong asked again.

"What the father said, the sons and daughters couldn't understand." Dugu Yanxiang replied cautiously.

"Humph!" Emperor Rongzong sneered, turned his head and looked at Dugu Yanxiang in disgust.

He knew that this son was too similar to himself, although he had been bullied by Dugu Yanlong since he was a child, but he had never been convinced in his heart. He will not rest on his laurels.

If it had nothing to do with him, it was impossible. Dugu Yan always felt that this son was another him, ruthless and vicious, and left no room for things.

Therefore, he did not like him very much, and gave him a blank look and said, "Do you think I can't see it? What did you do? How much was involved? I know that in my heart. ”

Dugu Yanxiang was stunned for a moment, and asked with some consternation: "Does my father think that the death of the crown prince is related to his son?" Is this how my father views his sons? ”

"Since childhood, my father has favored the prince, and has never paid attention to my sons, who are also your children, why do you treat them so differently, and what do you do in my father's heart?"

"Just because Dugu Yanlong's mother is the daughter of the Taishi, and my mother's status is low, she is just a little palace maid, do you want to treat our mother and son like this?"

"Yes, Tatar tribute to the fierce horses, the news that you are going to hold a horse training conference was sent by me, but the prince went to the fierce horses, he went by himself, what does it have to do with others? What does it have to do with me? ”

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Yanxiang, and in the face of his series of questions, he realized that he really owed this child a lot, and then looked at him, he was no longer a young child, as if he had grown into a young man.

But over the years, he has never paid attention to his growth, even what is his birthday? He doesn't remember either. I really lost a responsibility as a father.

In a trance, he also wanted to hurt this child. But when he reached out and tried to touch him, he found that Dugu Yanxiang was looking at him with a wary look.
