Chapter 21: The Eagle on the Prairie

Yang Tinghe and Wang Shouren's long conversation ended completely after Yu Mingxiao let go of a shot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it weren't for Yang Tinghe's obstruction, it is estimated that this time Wang Shouren would no longer be relying on not leaving, but would not have to go at all. Under the persuasion of Yang Tinghe, Miss Yuming Xiao finally threw away the five thunder god machine specially approved by Zhu Houzhao for her, and instead took a sharp dagger that she didn't know when to chase and kill Wang Shouren all over the world.

"Jade girl, if you have something to say, it is not appropriate for the girl's dancing knife to make a gun, and you must not destroy your image in your heart!"

"Who cares about you, Wang Shouren, if you don't let my family go home today, this girl will make you unable to go home for the rest of your life!"

Wang Shouren dodged the dagger thrown by Yu Mingxiao indiscriminately, and shouted injustice: "The prince is not locked up by me, there is a debtor and a master, you go to the emperor." ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for being stopped, this girl would have gone a long time ago, and now you are the head of the wrong, the creditor, who are you looking for?" Yu Mingxiao said as he picked up the Five Thunder God Machine that was thrown on the ground.

Yang Tinghe naturally won't take care of the bad things in the East Palace, since he has already formulated a method with Wang Shouren, it is urgent to start doing it. After all, what Wang Shouren said is true.

Taking a step back, he slapped the prince's nose and climbed over the wall of the prince's house, and now he is still staying at the prince's house, and it is really merciful that Zhu Houzhao has not been killed, and there is really no need to get along with Zhu Houzhao anymore.

Yang Tinghe cleaned up his mood and walked towards Li Dongyang's mansion. The two have a teacher-student friendship, and this relationship has completely sublimated into a political relationship in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, which is unbreakable. Li Dongyang was well-known in the officialdom of Hongzhi years, and he made the ideas for many major military affairs, and Liu Jian came up with the ideas, and he was a rare strategist-type talent.

Before arriving at Li Dongyang's mansion, a familiar steward led Yang Tinghe to Li Dongyang's study without needing to report.

After the two teachers and students greeted the ceremony, Yang Tinghe couldn't wait to speak: "Xiya Gong, the prince is imprisoned, what can you do to save one or two?" ”

Li Dongyang raised his hand to signal Yang Tinghe not to be so impatient, and took a sip of strong tea before he spoke: "At this time, there is no way, only to wait and see how it changes." ”

"But I heard that the emperor is angry in the court today." Yang Tinghe's hands were clenched, his knuckles were a little white, and he said tremblingly: "The student is worried that the prince has done too much, and His Majesty has moved his mind to waste the reserve." You also know that catching a cat can be said to be a tiger, and the prince treats the prisoners like this this time, and they are no stranger than Qin Shihuang burning books and pit Confucianism. ”

Li Dongyang tapped his index finger, the rhythm was smooth on the table, he thought for a while before he said slowly: "The husband is too worried, the abolition will never happen." Your Majesty's dragon veins are thin, and according to the news from the inner court, Your Majesty has not met the queen for many years. ”

Yang Tinghe took a breath, and the tea bowl in his hand was held for a long time before he sighed and said, "Your Majesty is diligent in government." But Xiya Gong, it's not a matter to let the prince stay in the prison, and after a while, the little prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will come to pay tribute, wouldn't it hurt the national body if this is spread out? ”

Li Dongyang suddenly put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked, "What did Jiefu just say?" ”

"Oh, it hurts the country."

"No, it's not this sentence, what was the last sentence?"

"The little prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is coming to pay tribute......"

Before Yang Tinghe finished speaking, Li Dongyang slapped his palm and chuckled: "Okay, there is a way, why did I forget about this matter!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Tinghe hurriedly asked, "Does Xiya have a way?" ”

Li Dongyang closed his eyes and thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "There is a way, but I have to wait for another three days, and after three days, I will not be able to speak until Long Yan is a little faint." However, you will have to go in for a few days when the prince comes out. ”

Yang Tinghe smiled and drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp: "This time it was my unsuccessful son who caused the trouble, and it is not unjust for the students to go in." The son of a daughter can't sit down, let alone the prince, he can't be wronged! ”

Li Dongyang laughed: "You, it's good to have a heart." Come on, I said you remember......"

Out of Li Dongyang's mansion, Yang Tinghe was relaxed and went straight to the East Palace.

On the endless prairie, blue sky and green water, white clouds and goshawks, wind-blown grass and low cattle and sheep.

There were more than ten Mongolian knights whistling across the grassland, startling countless foxes and rabbits. Suddenly, a spotted leopard with colorful fur soaked in oil suddenly burst out of the grassland, leaping a few feet away and opening its mouth to pounce on the leading horseman.

The more than ten horses behind were not as fast as the first horse, and they were far behind, and when they saw this crisis situation, they shouted loudly again and again: "Prince be careful!" ”

The knight, who had been attacked by the leopard, was in danger but not in the slightest, and when he heard the wind whistling in his ears, he suddenly disappeared from his horse, and let the leopard pounce on the horse's back.

When the knights in the back saw that the leopard had been killed and there was no trace of the prince on horseback, they were all so frightened that they wanted to break their horsewhips and rush over to kill the leopard.

The leopard swooped into the air, but no longer in love, and ran forward with the momentum, disappearing into the vast barren grass in the blink of an eye.

The knight who had disappeared from the horse's back suddenly appeared on the horse's back after the knight arrived behind him, controlling the frightened horse and calming down.

"The prince's hand is really beautiful, and Genghis Khan was just like that!" A majestic, bearded Mongolian man praised without hesitation.

The knight known as the prince turned around, and it turned out to be a young man who was no more than seventeen years old, but he was also a long tiger-backed bear, and he said calmly: "Battle, I, Batu Munk, will definitely become a great Khan even more than Genghis Khan, and lead our people back to the capital!" ”

The majestic man known as Jebe turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and touched his chest with his hand, and said sincerely: "Prince Batu, you are the eagle of the grassland, and you will definitely lead us back to the capital, and Batel is willing to charge for the prince!" ”

The little prince laughed, sat on horseback and stroked the top of Battle's head and said, "Well, you will become the greatest general, believe me, your wish will come true!" Now, mount your fast horse, take your bow, and join me in hunting down the leopard that has just escaped, and if I remember correctly, the same beast that attacked our cattle and sheep last month! ”

"Leopard, leopard, I gave you time to escape, don't let me down! Roar...... "The little prince Batu let out a series of strange roars, and chased his horse towards the place where the leopard had disappeared.

Two huge falcons with an astonishing wingspan in the sky were already hovering in the distance, and that was the direction in which the leopard fled.

The long-term escape has already exhausted the leopard's physical strength, and its speed is naturally getting slower and slower. But the little prince rode a fine military horse, extremely fast and enduring, and under the guidance of the flying eagle, he soon spotted the trail of the leopard.

The little prince galloped wildly, but he was squinting his eyes and staring coldly at the colorful back that appeared and disappeared in the grass. He turned around and shouted, "Battle, put away your bow and arrows, and let me come!" ”

The horses galloped like flies, and as they sailed down the river with a light boat, a clear trail of breaking waves among the dense grass. Suddenly, the little prince's eyes flashed, his legs were only clamped between the horse's back, and he pulled out a carved arrow from the quiver beside him, pulled up the hard bow, and the muscles of his arms rose up, and he shouted angrily: "Go! ”

Like a flash of black lightning, the galloping leopard flew up in the air as if it had been hit hard, and then fell to the side and died.

Battle stepped forward, came to the leopard's side, pulled out the eagle arrow that shot from the leopard's left eye and through the right eye, held it in both hands and came to the little prince, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the prince, you will have the most gorgeous leopard skin cloak in the whole grassland!" ”

The little prince laughed and commanded: "Bring the leopard back to the big tent, let the best craftsmen make it, and I will personally give this beautiful leopard skin to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Hehe, I've heard that he's sick and frail, and it's definitely something like this in the winter! ”

The little prince was full of ridicule when he said these words, and his tone was even more disdainful when he talked about the Hongzhi Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Battle looked up and said in surprise: "This time I went to Dadu, does His Royal Highness the Prince plan to go with me?" ”

The little prince sneered: "Of course I want to go." The Han people have a saying that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger treasure, if you don't go in person, how do you know how the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is, and whether you can stop my 100,000 iron horsemen? ”

"But the prince, you are our hope, how can you easily risk your life?"

"Don't worry, my Battle, I am the eagle of the grassland, the great immortal heaven will not let the strong eagle die easily, she will only make the eagle's claws sharper and stronger in the grinding!"

"Now that the prince has made up his mind, let Mobatel definitely swear to protect the prince's safe return."

"Relax Battle, the warriors of our clan have swept through most of the grasslands, and I never believed that the weak army of the Ming Dynasty could compete with our warriors of a hundred battles. Remember Battle, we're not going to see you, we're just leaving home early! The little prince shouted: "Raise a thousand-man team, and in three days I will lead the warriors of the steppe to see how prosperous our homeland is!" ”

The little prince, the wild military genius and bloodthirsty beast of the steppe, after conquering several scattered Mongol tribes around him, finally showed his sharp fangs to the Ming Dynasty, whose national power was beginning to weaken.

Three days later, a thousand-strong cavalry team with neatly equipped equipment and scimitars raised like falling snow shouted three times with their knives and led countless cattle and sheep along a faintly visible wide road towards Juyong Pass, an important border town of Daming.

This road, Temujin once walked, he destroyed two Song Dynasty and captured countless emperors. He also walked through first, he took Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and traveled around the imperial city swaggering for a few months.

Today, I, Batu, have also embarked on this path.

Goal, Daming!
