Chapter 169: Sweat and Blood

The guards guarding the door of the palace on behalf of the king had very ugly faces, and their hands were already on their weapons, and the other party obviously didn't take them seriously, not to mention that the prince was still at the door.

Lan Yu obviously saw Zhu Gui as well, but he still stopped when he came to the gate, then turned over and dismounted, deliberately very close to Zhu Gui, and then looked down at Zhu Gui and said, "See the acting king, is the acting king going out?" Ben will have good horses here, why don't we be together? ”

Lan Yu wanted to give Zhu Gui a dismount, in his opinion, it was impossible for a pampered little prince like Zhu Gui to ride a horse.

However, Zhu Gui bypassed him, came to his mount, flicked his legs beautifully, and then turned on his horse.

There was a look of surprise in Lan Yu's eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled.

His horse was the only good horse in the world, and he was so fierce that no one but him had ever ridden it successfully, and even a few of them broke their legs.

As he expected, the BMW named Xuehua immediately began to hiss when he saw Zhu Gui climb on his back, and then began to struggle desperately, trying to throw Zhu Gui off.

The guards in the palace were all startled, and hurriedly surrounded Zhu Gui to take Zhu Gui next, and several of them were even kicked away by snowflakes, but they still didn't dare to give up, if Zhu Gui really had an accident and fell off the horse, then they would all lose their heads.

However, Lan Yu and his subordinates behind him watched this scene with a smile on their faces, as if they were gloating.

And Zhu Gui, who was on horseback, had a serious look, he clutched the reins tightly, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

"Lord, how is my horse? If you could sit on it for a long time, I would give this horse to the prince, how about it? ”

The reason why Lan Yu said this was to make Zhu Gui make a fool of himself in public and save a little face, so that it could also pave the way for him to discuss with Zhu Gui in the future.

It's just that Zhu Gui didn't seem to hear it, he didn't pay attention to Lan Yu at all, but patted the horse's buttocks and led the horse to gallop in the other direction of the street.

Lan Yu was taken aback, he originally wanted to tease the little prince, but if something really happened to the other party, the emperor would definitely hold him responsible.

But in this case, I'm afraid that the matter of going to the border will only fall on him, Lan Yu was a little entangled for a while, not knowing whether to take care of Zhu Gui or not, hesitating again and again, he still asked his subordinates to follow, but instructed that if the little prince didn't fall off the horse, then they didn't care.

And he himself went to the palace to face the saint, wanting to come up with a bitter plan first, admit this mistake to Zhu Yuanzhang, and reduce the possible punishment for this time.

At this time, Zhu Gui was riding the snowflakes and galloping all the way towards the south gate of Nanjing.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." He shouted loudly as he led the horse.

When the people on the street saw someone riding a horse in the street, they wanted to condemn them, but when they saw the person on the horse, they immediately silenced them.

Zhu Gui came to the city gate unimpeded all the way.

Several guards at the city gate were chatting, talking about the capture of Lan Yu's men last night, this was the most majestic moment in their lives, and many people expressed their gratitude to Zhu Gui for his righteous action.

At that moment, they suddenly heard exclamations from the street, and two of them were about to check it out, when they saw a tall horse galloping towards them.

"Who dares to be a horse in the street? Ah, it's the king? ”

The two guards turned their faces like flipping through a book, and the speed with which their attitudes changed was breathtaking.

"Get out of the way, this king can't control this horse, don't hurt you." Zhu Gui said loudly.

The guards at the city gate hurriedly moved away from the horse, and then watched Zhu Gui ride the snowflakes and disappear on the horizon.

"How did the king train horses in the city? If the emperor finds out, he will definitely be unhappy. ”

"Didn't you notice? The horse that the king rode was the one of the great generals of Lanyu, and it was a bloody horse from the Western Regions, which was unique in thousands of miles, and it was said that few people could tame it. ”

"Is the little prince so powerful? Even the general's horse can be tamed. ”

The guards at the gates of the city were discussing the matter with great enthusiasm.

And this Lan Yu was kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chair.

"Please forgive the emperor, on behalf of the king, he insisted on riding the minister's horse, but the emperor can rest assured, the minister can no longer be sent to follow the prince."

"Zhu Gui, this kid, is actually making trouble for me, what if he breaks his arm and leg? What if I can't go on the expedition? Lanyu, what's the matter with you? Alas, forget it, let's send someone to find Zhu Gui back first, there must be no trouble. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand helplessly and said.

A smile appeared on Lan Yu's face, everything was expected by him.

Lan Yu didn't believe that Zhu Gui was capable of taming his mount, and as long as Zhu Gui was unable to lead the army because of his fall, that opportunity returned to his side.

This is really even God helping himself, Lan Yu thought.

At this time, Zhu Gui was still on the back of the snowflake, because of the large loss of physical strength, he was about to lose the reins, the palms of his hands were also worn out, and the sweat almost made him unable to open his eyes.

He could only throw away the reins and hold Snowflake's neck with both hands, trying to make it stop.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, when Zhu Gui woke up again, he was already lying on the same bed.

However, this bed is very hard, obviously not the big bed of the Daiwangfu, "What is this place?" Anyone? ”

Zhu Gui asked weakly.

An old man walked in from outside with a bowl of soup, "Child, drink some water." ”

"Where is the old man?" Zhu Gui took the water bowl, and then he felt that his throat was on fire.

"This is Pine Creek." The old man said.

"Pine Creek?" Zhu Gui was so shocked that he almost didn't throw away the water bowl.

Because Songxi was three hundred miles away from Nanjing, but when he set off, it was already in the afternoon, and he glanced out the window, only to find that it was getting late.

"Old man, how long have I been unconscious?" Zhu Gui did not intend to reveal his identity to the other party.

"It's been about two hours, son, why are you on horseback? Do you know how dangerous it is? The old man said in a strange tone.

"Old man? What about the horse? Zhu Gui couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that he hadn't fallen off the horse.

"That horse, it's grazing outside the door, and he's tired." The old man pointed out the window and said.

It's just that because of the night, Zhu Gui didn't see the snowflakes.

In this way, Zhu Gui tamed Xuehua, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
