Chapter 8 Harnessing the Clouds

Liu Yan subconsciously touched his knee: "General Pei, General Zuo, after all, is a person with official character, and it is always a little unreasonable to let them compete for me, but it is reasonable for someone in my house to go." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf I hadn't been so anxious and fell off my horse, I would have gone myself. ”

When Chu Shenxia heard him say this, his eyes tightened, and he said, "What? Your Highness is afraid that General Pei will win the game for you, and you won't be able to share the reward? ”

"200,000 gold, who doesn't blush?" Liu Yan tilted his head slightly, his eyes were a little ethereal.

Chu Shenxia was slightly stunned, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, I will do my best." ”

Liu Yan turned around, looked at him carefully, and said seriously: "No, you have to do your best, you have to win." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Chu Shenxia's eyes, although he understood the meaning of the 200,000 gold to a prince, he could recruit troops and buy horses to buy people's hearts, and he would definitely not be able to go on without money on the road to power. It's just that at first, he had a little appreciation for this prince, and felt that he was considerate and upright to his subordinates. It seems that all the princes in the world are the same, including that person.

When he arrived at the horse farm, he was in a state of shock, and at the age of five he was forced to ride a horse by Li Fu, and by the age of ten he was able to control a full-grown horse.

He had never seen such a fierce horse, and his blood was surging, and he grabbed the reins and got on horseback. The horse neighed restlessly, and its front hooves actually raised high, throwing Chu Shenxia off the horse's back in one fell swoop.

The horse servant hurriedly came over and asked eagerly: "It's okay, Your Highness was thrown off the horse by Tengyun and kicked by the horse's hooves, so he was injured so badly." ”

"Tengyun? It deserves the name. Chu Shenxia laughed and got back on the horse.

Uncle Pei Dong smiled as he walked: "Your Highness, I heard that you fell off the horse yesterday, why were you so careless?" ”

Liu Yan was slightly supported by him, and glanced at him obliquely: "It's Tengyun, and I blame me for being too anxious and wanting to use Tengyun to compete, after all, Tengyun, a horse, has never been conquered." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses neighing from the racecourse, and the two couldn't help but be startled, who else could the loud and long-lasting neighing sound be besides Tengyun?

After walking a few steps, I saw a person sitting on horseback from a distance, and Tengyun couldn't shake it off no matter how he shook it, so he ran like crazy.

Pei Shudong was surprised and praised: "Who is this person, he can actually control Tengyun, and there is such a powerful horse master in His Highness's mansion?" ”

Liu Yan was silent for a long time, watching the man control Tengyun's speed little by little, and then jumped off the horse and led Tengyun to him.

"It's you, I really underestimated you before, yes, such a strong horse can be subdued." Pei Shudong touched the horse's back very excitedly, but was shaken away by Tengyun.

Liu Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's rare that Tengyun will be controlled again, the scene just now is really eye-opening." ”

Chu Shenxia laughed, but he couldn't take his eyes off the horse, "This is a good horse, it's really wronged to be encircled for so many years." ”

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Liu Yan said lightly.

Pei Shudong and Chu Shenxia were both shocked, and Pei Shudong stammered: "This... Such a good horse... Your Highness will give it away? I remember that His Highness liked Tengyun very much. ”

Chu Shenxia had already reacted after being surprised, he must have something to say when he did this.

"What's the use of liking it, I can't surrender it, or give it to its real owner." Liu Yan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You have to win the game, so I will send you Tengyun." ”

Chu Shenxia nodded clearly, but Pei Shudong had already grabbed him ahead and said, "Your Highness, he can even surrender Tengyun, what are you worried about, this time it must be you who have won the crown in the Shun Palace." ”

Liu Yan also smiled softly, his eyes couldn't help but fall on him, but he didn't see it, he was picking up grass and feeding Tengyun.

This time, Marseille is a little more lively than before, and the princess of Lu will also come to see it, although everyone knows that this princess must be destined for the third prince Liu Yan. But the emperor has not issued a decree yet, if any prince and son are outstanding and are looked down upon by the princess, it is not impossible for the princess to ask the emperor for a decree. Therefore, in today's Marseille, some princes and sons of status have prepared very seriously.

It was just after noon, and the emperor had already arrived at the horse farm accompanied by Concubine Gao Xian. Since the death of the queen, the emperor has favored Concubine Gao Xian, Concubine Gao Xian is the princess of Mongolia, the people of Mongolia are simple, and the people born there are very kind and straightforward, and the emperor has been favored for many years by taking a fancy to her. It is said that the queen is the emperor's wife, who originally loved each other very much, but the queen was deep in her mind and used her power to turn the harem upside down, and the emperor died to her.

Princess Yongming followed closely, and sat down after Ying Ying's worship.

Concubine Gao Xian looked at her fixedly for a while, and the emperor called her several times before coming back to her senses, "What? ”

Concubine Gao Xian retracted her gaze and explained, "I think this princess looks a little weak, and she is a little incompatible with Zishun. ”

"Who said that Princess Yongming had to marry Zishun, you see, so many princes' disciples..."The emperor stared at her slightly, and his hand pointed at random in the distance.

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Concubine Gao Xian to pick it up very seriously, "Your Majesty, I think it's good, it's a good match, and the princess is a little bit of a match, but the position is lower, I'm afraid that the princess will be wronged." ”

"That's not bad, the princess who is worthy of the official position, I think of one thing, Sister Che said that his character is not good, or forget it..."

The Emperor instantly felt a little bored, leaned back in the dragon chair, and smiled and listened to her rambling in his ear.

The emperor's eyes jumped, and he was relieved to see Princess Yongming coughing very lightly, and his two eyes looked around cautiously, and he was relieved to find that no one was paying attention. It seems that the princess's body is really weak.

In a short time, all the people who should have arrived arrived, but the people from the Shun Wangfu have not arrived for a long time.

The inner eunuch stepped forward and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up. ”

"Don't rush, just wait a little longer." The emperor turned his head and smiled at Concubine Gao Xian, who looked into the distance a little anxiously, caught a figure, and said repeatedly: "Coming, coming!" ”

Liu Yan pushed away the person who was supporting him on the side, limped a few steps, suddenly paused and bent his knees, and said in a loud voice: "The son is late to ask his father to punish him." ”

Concubine Gao Xian saw that he was injured and knelt violently, and suddenly felt that her knees were in pain, and subconsciously grabbed the placket and looked at him nervously. The emperor stood up all of a sudden, and exclaimed, "Hurry up, hurry up, how did you get this injury?" ”

"Back to my father, my son's son fell off the horse yesterday instead of falling off the horse." Liu Yan reluctantly got up and sat aside with the support of the internal supervisor.

The emperor looked at his son with some distress: "Is it Tengyun?" You've been training for so long, and they still won't listen to you? ”

As soon as Liu Yan heard Tengyun, he laughed: "A soldier in the Erchen Mansion has already surrendered Tengyun, and today it is he who competes for Erchen." ”

The emperor was a little curious: "Oh? Then I'll see. His eyes fell on his legs, and he couldn't help but reproach in a deep voice: "You, such a big person, you can't distinguish between weight and weight, your legs are broken, why are you kneeling?" ”

"Father's lesson." Liu Yan bowed his head and silently accepted this care.

When Chu Shenxia and Tengyun appeared together, they attracted the attention of many people, and there were two eyes that were the most intense, one was Banrong next to Princess Yongming, and the other was his father Chu Zhi.

The only thing Chu Shenxia didn't expect was that Jing Min was also on the list of this competition. He had a smile on his face that was neither hot nor cold and talked carefully with the people around him, and from time to time a few princes came to talk to him, he looked like a friend, it seemed that he knew a lot of people.

The moment the horn blew, the people on the side were desperately whipping the horses, and the galloping horses' hooves instantly raised layers of dust, but Chu Shenxia was slowly pedaling the clouds, chasing unhurriedly.

One of the horses in front of him did not pass the obstacle smoothly, and the horse's hooves kicked on the obstacle, and the man and the horse flipped over the obstacle.

Chu Shenxia's eyes tightened, the whip in his hand shook fiercely, Tengyun suddenly sped up his speed in pain, and suddenly crossed over the obstacle, under the surprised eyes of everyone, Tengyun successively crossed the horse that fell to the ground in front of him, landed steadily in front, and ran extremely fast. When he got to the back, he ran faster and faster, overtaking many people at once, and galloped side by side with King Qing, who had been leading all the time.

Before the last hurdle, with Tengyun's amazing leap, he won the first place, and King Qing was followed by Jing Yi in third place.

In fact, Jing Min's equestrian skills are no worse than Chu Shenxia, if it is really compared, Chu Shenxia is not sure if he can beat him, but obviously Jing Min has no intention of winning him.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, his eyes wandered over the top three, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." ”

Marseille is divided into three rounds, the first is to compete with who is faster, the second is to compete with arrows on horses, and if you are shot by an arrow, you will lose, and the third is a competition between the top three.

After a slight break, the second round began.

Because he won the first place in the first round, he vaguely felt that some people looked at him a little unfriendly.

Sure enough, as if they had made an appointment, they fired a volley of lime-coated arrows at him, and he bent down and hugged Tengyun's neck and quickly drew an arrow, which de-stringed and hit the man on the left, who fell off his horse and hammered the ground unwillingly.

The arrow on the right rushed over with the wind, Chu Shenxia jumped up, sent out a second arrow in the air, and as soon as he sat down, he sent out a third arrow, followed by the fourth and fifth, so fast that people couldn't see how he shot, and the constantly changing position made people shoot in the air again and again.

Soon, only he and King Qing were left on the field, King Qing's archery skills were the best among the princes, he had never missed, looking at the person in front of him, a thin layer of murderous aura floated in his eyes, and he had never met such a good opponent.

The two of them drew their bows at the same time, dodged at the same time, and shot into the air at the same time, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the arrow that fell to the ground, it turned out to be a sharp arrow.

An arrow had already been shot at the moment when he was slightly distracted, Chu Shenxia turned his head and reached out to catch the arrow, the arrow flashed a trace of edge in the sun.
