Bang!

When I fell off my horse so hard that my bones seemed to fall apart, I still didn't know why.

He was stabbed in the shoulder by Prince Xu's chalk gun, leaving a white mark. Because the head of the chalk gun is chalk wrapped in cloth, it can't hurt people, although it hurts a little on the shoulder, but it doesn't matter. Even if you fall off your horse and your whole body hurts, it's fine. However, the humiliation of my horse being poked by him burned my body like a raging fire, and I fell with my face to the south, where about ten paces away was Anya and Cheng Man, who were riding slowly. When I fell, they happened to see me looking embarrassed, Cheng Man's eyes were a little worried, but Anya Diji covered her mouth right away. She couldn't hear it, but she was clearly laughing.

"Zheng Gongzi, do you want to try again?"

The prince came to me on his horse and pointed his chalk gun at me. My mount had run away, but thankfully I had my foot out of the stirrup just in time when I fell, otherwise I would have been dragged all over my body by the horse. At this time, someone ran over to help me up and said loudly, "Brother Xu, he lost." ”

This is Lu Dingyu. I didn't expect him to be the first to run out and pick me up. When Prince Xu saw that it was him, he didn't dare to make a mistake, put away the chalk gun and said: "Second prince, please tell him that he is still far from the way of guns and horses." ”

I was right in front of him, but he asked Lu Dingyu to tell him, obviously not taking me seriously. I forced myself to stand up and wanted to sarcastically retort at him, but as soon as my mouth opened, I remembered the admonition that Elder Fang and my uncle had warned me. I thought they wanted me to be careful not to offend the two princes, but I didn't expect the two princes to be good, but this fake prince was arrogant to me, and gave me such a big hardship the first time I saw him.

At this time, Lu Anyu and the Wei family brothers also came over. Lu Anyu saw that I had already stood up, so he said, "Zheng Gongzi, you don't matter, right?" Tianjing, quickly bring over the bone-beating wine and let Zheng Gongzi wipe it. ”

Wei Tianjing said: "I'll take it." With that, he took out a small silver box from his bosom. His Wei family is really wealthy, when I was on the boat, I saw that Fang Lao was carrying a silver wine jug by his side, but it was drunk, but Wei Tianjing used a silver box to hold the wine. It's just that I said I didn't want it before, and now I want to use it again, which is really embarrassing. It's just that now I don't want to die to save face, but fortunately, my face is old enough, and I didn't fall very badly, and said: "Thank you, I'll wipe it myself." ”

Lu Dingyu raised his head and looked at Prince Xu and said, "Brother Xu, it's just a competition, you don't have to be so ruthless, right?" ”

Ding Xu raised the chalk gun and saluted: "Second Highness, the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength. As a martial artist, you should treat your usual training as actual combat. This is His Majesty's Imperial Voice. ”

"Treat ordinary training as actual combat" Yunyun, whether it is Uncle Xuan or my father, they have told me so, and Prince Xu said this is high-sounding. But he was so ruthless that he didn't intend to practice spearmanship with me at all, he just wanted to stab me off my horse. I don't know why he targeted me like this when he saw me, I thought it was to practice boxing and swords, and I was more biased than a gun and a horse. I'm not afraid of him than a gun alone, but it's a cavalry battle. Although I learned to ride a horse, there were very few horses in Wuyangcheng, and my father's mount died of old age when I was nine years old, and I never practiced riding a few times. Even if my father passed on my spear skills, I would definitely not lose to him, but my riding skills could only barely fall off, and I originally thought that I could fight with him for a while with my spear skills alone, but who knew that it would be so bad that I couldn't even take a face. I was already itching with hatred in my heart, but I still said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what Prince Xu said is extremely true, I am really far away now, thank you Prince Xu for your mercy, I have to wait for another practice and then point to Prince Xu's advice." ”

Probably seeing that I said so lowly, Prince Xu's face was finally a little pale, but he still said with disdain in his eyes: "Okay, then give you half a day off in the afternoon, go back and wipe the wounds on your body, don't leave any disabilities." ”

I fell off my horse, and I was not stepped on by the horse, and the ground was not too hard, even if I was an ordinary person, I would not have any disability if I fell out of bruises, and he was obviously sarcastic about me. I didn't dare to spit it out when I was angry, so I nodded and said, "Yes, yes." As he spoke, he grinned his teeth to show that his body was in pain. In fact, I practiced knife practice with my father at home, and I was beaten by my father several times more painful than this, and now there is nothing wrong with this fall. It's just that I'm afraid that he will see that I'm fine, and he will use the style of an assistant to force me to compete on horses. Although it wasn't a big deal to fall this time, I didn't want to fall a second time for no reason.

Probably I pretended to be in pain and pretended to be a bit like that, and at this time, Lu Anyu also came over. He had been practicing equestrianism before, and as soon as he got closer, he immediately jumped off the horse and said, "Brother Xu, what's wrong?" ”

I didn't wait for Prince Xu to say, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, Your Highness. Prince Xu taught me to practice guns, but I was not angry and fell down. ”

Lu Anyu frowned and said, "How is it?" Have you ever broken it? Quickly, send it to the hospital immediately......"

I hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I'm out of the way, take a rest, and wipe some of the bone-setting wine given by Prince Wei will be fine." ”

As I spoke, I flexed my arm to show that I was right. Lu Anyu sighed and said, "That's good." Zheng Gongzi, you can rest today, if you feel uncomfortable, tell Sha Gonggong immediately, don't hold on. ”

Lu Anyu is the identity of the eldest prince, and he is very approachable to me. It's just that no matter how approachable he is, I'm still embarrassed this time. I saluted Lu Anyu and said, "Your Highness, then I'll go back and wipe down and drink." ”

I limped to the house on the side. In fact, although the fall was not light, I would not have to limp away, but since I pretended to be like this, I had to pretend to be full. While walking, I could hear the prince saying something over there, "Guns and horses are expensive in leg strength, if the leg strength is not enough, the saddle is unstable" and so on. These words are also pertinent, but to put it simply, horseback riding is not enough just by leg strength, but also by practice. What I lacked was practice, but if I had admitted that I was not good at riding, he couldn't force me to try it on horseback. I want to be strong in my life, and it's no wonder that others have suffered this hardship.

Thinking about it like this, the resentment in my heart has disappeared a lot. The school field in this palace is not large, and the houses on the side are not small. Probably the emperor has won the world since his horse, and he still does not lose his true character as a soldier, and he often comes to the school to ride a horse, which is for people to rest, so there are a lot of big chairs. I found a two-seater chair and sat down, unbuttoned my shirt and opened the collar, but I saw a bruise on my shoulder, but I poured some of the bone-punching wine that Wei Tianjing gave me in the palm of my hand, and rubbed my hands hot and wiped the bruise. Rubbing his hands together, and then sticking to the bruised, he felt a stream of heat rushing in, which was also comfortable.

was wiping, and suddenly heard someone say: "Zheng Gongzi." ”

As soon as I heard this sound, I apparently lost all the silver jugs of bone-setting wine. This turned out to be the voice of Anya Diji! I am now disheveled, it is really extremely rude, I am busy putting my clothes in order, and the buttons are also buttoned, and then I said: "Anya Diji, why are you here?" ”

Anya Emperor actually came to see me! In an instant, the shame of being beaten down by her brother disappeared, and I only felt that if I was beaten off the horse by Prince Xu, Anya would be able to come to see me once, and it would not hurt to be beaten down by him that day. was thinking about how to get close to Anya Diji, but he heard Anya Diji whisper: "Sister Aman, Zheng Gongzi is fine, you can rest assured." ”

Hearing that Cheng Man was caring about me, not what Anya Diji meant, I was suddenly a little disappointed. But I heard Anya Emperor Ji say: "Zheng Gongzi, since you don't matter, then please rest early, we ......"

When I heard her say this, I was ready to say goodbye and leave, and I was in a hurry. can get so close to her, even if there is an extra Cheng Man on the side, it doesn't matter, how can you let her go without even seeing her face? I hurriedly said, "By the way, Miss Cheng Man, there is something I want to ask for advice." ”

If you call Anya Emperor directly, it will be too explicit, and I can't think of any reason. When my father told me about the art of war, I had a cloud of "wanting to capture the old and indulge", and I had never paid much attention to the art of war, and I heard it so-so, but I remembered these four words very well. Since Cheng Man can ask Anya Diji to accompany her to come and see me, then stop Cheng Man, and Anya Diji will definitely not leave on her own. Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, I heard Cheng Man say, "Zheng Gongzi, please speak." ”

With her words, I was also relieved, walked to the door, bowed to the two of them standing at the door, and said, "Miss Cheng, you called your father 'Uncle Si Chu' before, does Miss Cheng recognize your father?" ”

Cheng Man covered his mouth and smiled: "Didn't Uncle Si Chu tell Zheng Gongzi?" Father Cheng Diwen ......"

As soon as she said the word "Cheng Diwen", I already shouted: "Oh, Miss Cheng, it turns out that you are Uncle Cheng's daughter!" ”

My father once told me that in addition to his uncle in Wuyun City, he also had a very good friend named Cheng Diwen. When I was a child, this Uncle Cheng Diwen once came to Wuyang City as an envoy of the Great Qi Empire, but I was too young to remember it at all. Later, Uncle Cheng never served as an envoy again, and my father said several times, saying that Uncle Cheng is one of the few flute celebrities in the world, and more than half of my father's flute skills were taught by Uncle Cheng, and the iron flute that my father cherished was given to him when Uncle Cheng taught him to play the flute. Since my father and Cheng Man's father are lifelong friends, it is not surprising that she cares about me.

Cheng Man smiled again: "Yes, Daddy was going to come to see you yesterday, but when he heard that you were going to live in Mingxin Courtyard, he told me to come and see you first, and he would come to see you when you went home." Zheng Gongzi, how is Ling Zun now? ”

I said, "Okay, okay." "But I am thinking in my heart, since I have this relationship with Cheng Man, and Cheng Man is inseparable from Anya Diji, I can use this reason to get closer to Anya Diji in the future. Now he is trying to find a way to say a few more words to them, and then he said to Anya Diji: "Anya Diji, is His Royal Highness your brother Xu?" ”

Anya Diji said, "Yes. The brother's surname is Ding, and his name continues. As she spoke, she suddenly saluted me and said, "Zheng Gongzi, my brother is very rude to you, and I ask Zheng Gongzi to forgive me." ”

I said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, His Royal Highness Xu, as an auxiliary teacher, is also for me to practice guns and horses, not to mention nothing." ”

If you only listen to the voice, Cheng Man and Anya Diji's voices are very soft and beautiful, but looking at her appearance, Anya Diji doesn't know how much better she looks than Cheng Man. I wanted to ramble again, but I heard someone over there shouting, "Anya! You also came to see Zheng Gongzi. ”

This is Lu Dingyu's voice. I looked up, but I saw Lu Dingyu and the Wei family brothers walking towards this side, but Wei Tianjing had a bitter look on his face, and he was limping. When Anya Emperor Ji saw him coming, she and Cheng Man walked together and saluted: "Second brother, Sister Aman and I will leave here, Zheng Gongzi is fine." ”

After Anya Diji and Cheng Man left, Wei Tianjing and Wei Tianxu went into the house to rub the medicinal wine. Because there was no woman present, Wei Tianjing took off all the clothes on his upper body, Wei Tianxu didn't talk much, but he was a good brother, rubbing medicinal wine on his brother's body. Lu Dingyu smiled and said: "I said that he would not have anything to do, but Tianjing was smashed by Brother Xu." As he spoke, he walked up to me and said, "Zheng Gongzi, have you finished wiping your bone-setting wine?" The master still hasn't escaped this catastrophe, and this time it's his turn to wipe it. ”

I saw that the bruises on Wei Tianjing's body were not as deep as mine, and it seemed that he was also dropped by Prince Xu, but the fall was not too heavy. The prince of Xu even has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, and I will be very heavy when I fall, and the resentment that has been faded has been born again, and I said: "It is also His Highness Xu who fell on him?" ”

"Not really." Lu Dingyu smiled, looked at me and said, "But Zheng Gongzi is really good, if the fall you fell before was a natural fall, I'm afraid he will break a few bones." ”

I heard him say it lightly, although Tianwei Tianjing is his cousin, but in Lu Dingyu's eyes, he is the same as Prince Xu's brother. I scratched my scalp and said, "Why did His Highness Xu fall on me as soon as we met?" I didn't seem to have offended him. ”

Lu Dingyu said: "Brother Xu is an auxiliary teacher, even if he is half a teacher, the emperor also allows him to have the right to teach." Speaking of this, he looked at the Wei family brothers, leaned over and whispered, "But Brother Zheng, it's not that you haven't offended Brother Xu." ”

He called me a brother and a brother all of a sudden, and there was no second prince's frame at all, and my impression of him was much better, and I also whispered: "I just met him during dinner, and I still wanted to meet him, but I was touched by His Royal Highness Xu, is this also offended?" ”

Lu Dingyu shook his head and said, "Brother Xu is quite small-minded. Originally, there were so many students in Mingxin Academy, and he was a prince, and he was one level higher than those companions. But as soon as Brother Zheng came, it was also according to the example of the prince, and he was not the only prince. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "But this is set by His Majesty, and it is not what I want, Your Highness will blame me for this?" ”

Lu Dingyu said: "Of course. He reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "But don't feel that you have suffered a loss, except for the eldest brother, everyone has suffered the loss of the younger brother." ”

I was surprised: "Second Highness, could it be that you were also thrown by Prince Xu?" ”

Lu Dingyu hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I didn't fall, but I couldn't beat him." ”

Although Prince Xu is arrogant and the emperor's righteous son, he will not be rude to the second prince after all. I originally thought that if Lu Dingyu was also dropped by Prince Xu, then I would find a way to provoke him to vent his anger for me and make Prince Xu deflated, but it seems that although Lu Dingyu is not very close to Prince Xu, he doesn't have too much bad feelings. I said: "Actually, I will definitely not lose to His Royal Highness Xu in terms of gunnery alone, but ......"

Before I finished speaking, Lu Dingyu had already said: "Yes, Brother Zheng, your riding skills are really bad, not as good as Tianwei." If you can practice your riding skills well, you won't lose to Brother Xu. How about practicing more riding? ”

It dawned on me. I also wanted to provoke him to deal with Prince Xu, and it turned out that Lu Dingyu also had this idea. Although I was beaten off by Prince Xu, my marksmanship is not lost to him, and Lu Dingyu is also very clear that this guy is also a calculating person behind his back. It's just that if I really practice my riding skills and knock Prince Xu off the horse, then I will hold Lu Dingyu's thick legs, but Prince Xu will be offended to a mess. If Prince Xu is not the elder brother of Emperor Anya, and the second prince supports me, I will do what I say. It's just that when I think of Anya Diji's appearance, I hesitate a little.

Lu Dingyu saw that I was hesitating, probably thinking that I was a little worried, and whispered: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, although Brother Xu's spear skills are strong, but the emperor father said that he is far inferior to Lord Lingzun." If you have five or six things to do with Lord Lingzun, you will never lose to him! ”

No wonder as soon as we met, I desperately asked me about my father's affairs, and it turned out that I had this idea at that time. I muttered in my stomach and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if I don't fight, it will be too embarrassing to be knocked off the horse by Prince Xu for the second time." ”

"What a shame, Tianjing and Tianwei were beaten five or six times by Brother Xu......"

Lu Dingyu was waiting to say more, and Wei Tianwei suddenly said: "The eldest brother was beaten four times by His Royal Highness Xu, and I only did it three times, not five or six times." ”

Wei Tianwei didn't speak much, but his face turned red at this time, as if he was very unwilling. Lu Dingyu didn't have the heart to argue with him that he was knocked off the horse a few times, and said: "Anyway, the two of you are not Brother Xu's opponents at all." Brother Zheng, how is it? The emperor's father is very respectful of Lord Lingzun's means, and you will definitely be able to kill the majesty of Brother Xu. ”
