Those horses didn't care whether Lao Zhu was the emperor or not, they only cared about fighting.

Zhu Bai pointed to the fighting horse and smiled innocently.

"Look, these ponies can be pinched like this for a mare. If you want to fight for food in the future, don't fight you to the death. ”

The masters didn't dare to raise their heads, and their hearts were galloping: Special mother, this bastard boy is talking such nonsense, is he afraid that Lao Zhu will not suspect us?

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes looked at the generals and became thoughtful and full of meaning.

Tut-tut, that's what happened.

Since I said that it was divided, none of these generals dared to let go of a fart.

I thought they were all honest, and they were waiting for me.

These old slippery heads, working so hard, want me to see how my sons kill each other, so as to dispel the idea of me becoming king.

Or, they have something more unspeakable.

For example, if you cripple these elderly princes, you will be done once and for all......

The more Zhu Yuanzhang pondered, the heavier his mood became, and he glared at the people who were kneeling beside Sima Jian: "Bastard, why don't you quickly stop these beasts and wait for them to finish?" ”

Sima Jian's men hurriedly stood up and whipped the stallion a few times.

The fighting horses finally stopped, and they were led back to the stables.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself: "The princes are still young and can't control the horse. Even if the old twelve didn't accidentally lead the mare in heat today, it is difficult to guarantee that the prince will be taken off by going crazy. ”

The masters hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor is shengming. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Then this time it's not better than riding a horse." ”

The masters breathed a sigh of relief: "Obey the order." ”

-----

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the imperial study and calmed down.

You can't use weapons, you can't ride horses, and you can't beat them directly.

So what a fart this contest?!

On that day, the picture of Zhu Bai running across the lake with Zhu Biao flashed through his mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

Zhu Bai, you little thing has done so many things, don't you just think you are running fast?

You don't necessarily think that your brothers are all as weak as your eldest brother, and even you can't outrun?

If you want to run, then I will let you run enough.

And I want you to make all the skills you practice on weekdays to climb over walls and trees, and you can't use them!

This time, the blue jade of the pit is fixed!!

You must lose convincingly!!

----

The masters received the holy decree, and every day they also taught the Pope's kung fu and archery.

As a result, before the competition, Lao Zhu spoke.

In order not to damage the brotherhood of the princes, this competition did not use pairs of twos on weekdays, but instead of pulling the flag.

The rules are as follows: the princes follow the prescribed route to the end point to pull out the flag, and then return to the starting point.

According to the serial number on the obtained flag, the competition ranking will be determined, and the reward will be punished.

The route is, starting from Chengtianmen, going north through the Duanmen Meridian Gate, then turning right to the east to the moat, going north along the moat to the corner, turning west to the Xuanwu Gate, and then south through the Inner Garden, Kunning Palace, Qianqing Palace and the three major halls all the way to Fengtianmen, turning right to the west and then north through the halls to the end point - the West Five.

A gong is set up every half mile, guarded by a special person, and the prince needs to ring the gong when he arrives, and the keeper will record it to be effective.

The prince shall not use any cattle and horses, and shall not borrow the power of others.

Three days later, he and Empress Ma will bring hundreds of civil and military officials to watch the battle in person on the Chengtian Gate.

Lan Yu took the paper with the rules of the competition written on it from the imperial study, and scratched his head: "What kind of game is this?" ”

Zhu Bai laughed: It seems that my plan has worked. Isn't this the later cool running?

The other generals and the prince breathed a sigh of relief: the race is running, it must be the tall older prince who runs fast.

Zhu Bai and Lan Yu seemed to think the same way, so they completely lay down.

The other princes ran along the route in full swing, and they walked unhurriedly with their hands behind their backs.

Zhu Yuanzhang dispersed, and just saw the old and young who walked to the moat, and his heart blossomed.

Roar, these two people are here to investigate the enemy's situation.

It's useless to look at it, this time the gods can't help you.

If it is compared to archery, the bastard boy may still encounter a dead mouse and hit the bull's-eye.

If he runs hard, Zhu Bai has the shortest legs, and he will definitely not be able to outrun his brothers.

I just want to reprimand you Lan Yu in front of the civil and military officials!!

The more Lao Zhu thought about it, the better he was in the mood, and he laughed and left.

Over there, Lan Yu walked around and was a little deflated: "Alas, it's useless for Master to teach you." The whole journey is on flat ground, only the inner garden has many trees, which is slightly obstructed. ”

Besides, even if there is a door and a road in the inner garden, if you still go over the wall and climb the tree, it is not stupid.

A meandering Jade Belt River runs through the palace.

This time, the route had to cross the Yudai River several times, but it was only allowed to cross the same bridge.

Lao Zhu set it up like this because he wanted to lengthen the line and let the princes detour.

If you want to be fast, you can only wade through the water, but the water will increase the weight of shoes and clothing, which is not conducive to running behind.

Besides, dripping water doesn't save much time compared to detours.

Zhu Bai pondered for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Master, I want to make something, but I can't get out, and there is no way to do it in the palace." Can I draw a picture for you, I would like you to go back tomorrow and find a carpenter and blacksmith to do it as soon as possible, and bring it in. ”

Lan Yu sighed, "Okay." Master can only help you get here. ”

Although he didn't know what this kid was going to do, he could only be a dead horse and a horse doctor to help.

You can't let the two of them sit and wait for Lao Zhu to punish them.

-----

On the fifth day of the first month of September, the sun is shining brightly, and the autumn is high and cool.

Colorful flags fluttered on the Chengtian Gate, and gongs and drums were bursting.

The people of Yingtian City all ran to look under the gray city wall.

Although I don't know what happened in the palace, being able to see the backs of all the princes and officials at one time is enough for them to blow for a lifetime.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together in court clothes, excited and excited.

The civil servants had already prepared a recital.

The second and third are similar in age, and there is no shortage of open and secret battles on weekdays.

Wait until they reach the finish line, and they have to pinch up in order to grab the flag for first place.

Then, they took the opportunity to hand the fold against the partition to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu has nowhere to hide in this Chengtian Gate, and in front of all the princes, it is not easy to play tricks, so he can only take their recitals when the time comes.

Lan Yu told Zhu Bai over there: "King Xiang just do his best, it doesn't matter if you run in the end." ”

There is also a knife for stretching out the head, and a knife for shrinking the head.

He really didn't want to embarrass a seven-year-old for himself.

It's just that these words, he can't say directly.

Zhu Bai raised his head and smiled: "Master don't worry, I will make you raise your eyebrows today." ”

As he was talking, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma went up to the city tower.

Zhu Bai hurriedly went over to stand with his brothers, and greeted Lao Zhu with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang swept around the ten princes in front of him, and his eyes showed rare kindness.

The youngest five princes stood at the front, and the older five stood behind.

At such a station, it became more and more short for Zhu Bai.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly softened.

It's really a bit of a bully for Zhu Bai today, otherwise, even if Zhu Bai runs last, he will only be fined Lan Yu, not Zhu Bai?
