Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and the sword and the secretary were waiting at the gate of the small courtyard with four fast horses.

Shiwen and Shiwu were dispatched by the prince and also rushed over from the other courtyard to stay in Longquan Village to protect Yejunlan.

Ye Xiuyan got up early in the morning, finished breakfast, changed into a new pink jacket, combed two maid hairpins, and ran out of the house happily.

Lingyan County is thirty miles away from Longquan Village, and it takes more than an hour to take a mule cart.

The tall horses brought by the sword and the scholar from the other courtyard are all good horses for thousands of miles, thirty miles of land, and it doesn't take a stick of incense to reach them.

"Yan girl, can you ride a horse?"

Lin Jingcheng was black-haired and bright, took the reins from the swordsman's hand, and patted the horse's back with a smile.

"No, it won't."

Ye Xiuyan looked up at the back of the horse, which was more than a head taller than herself, and shook her head helplessly.

"Come, Brother Lin will teach you how to ride a horse."

Lin Jingcheng said, with both arms, he put her on the back of the horse, and turned over on the horse himself.

Ye Xiuyan straightened her back and grabbed the horsehair a little nervously.

"Don't be nervous."

Lin Jingcheng's eyebrows flew, he clenched the reins with both hands, and protected the little girl in the crook of his arm: "Brother Lin has superb riding skills, and he won't fall you." ”

"Uh-huh."

Ye Xiuyan trusted him inexplicably, and her expression gradually relaxed.

"Gone."

Lin Jingcheng flicked the whip lightly, the horse neighed, spread its hooves, and galloped away.

The squire and the sword galloped and followed.

Three fast horses galloped on the mountain road, through the lush mountain forest, to the wide and smooth official road.

The horse neighed excitedly, spread its hooves and galloped all the way on, leaving the convoy far behind.

Lingyan County is built on the mountain, because there is a famous temple in the middle of Longyin Mountain, Lingyan Temple.

The incense of Lingyan Temple is vigorous, and the pilgrims who come to offer incense are endless, which drives the economic prosperity of the small county town.

The three horses ran forward like joy, and in less than half an hour, they came to Lingyan County.

Entering the county seat, coming to the foot of Lingyan Temple, cars come and go, and pilgrims and pedestrians gradually increase.

There are hawkers with flat shoulders walking the streets, shaking rattles in their hands and shouting loudly to sell their goods.

Lin Jingcheng tightened the reins and ordered the horse to slow down to avoid ramming pedestrians.

The sword and the book are one after the other, opening the way for the prince and protecting his safety.

The three horses were very spiritual, and their master ordered them to slow down, and they paced at graceful pace, slowly moving forward along the official road paved with bluestone slabs.

Ye Xiuyan sat on horseback, no longer bumpy, and was in the mood to look around and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the temple.

"Shizi, there is a bookstore in front."

Shi Jian's sharp eyes saw a row of chicly decorated bookstores at the foot of the mountain, and smiled and pointed with a horsewhip.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Lin Jingcheng's purpose in coming to the county this time was mainly to buy books and silver needles for Ye Xiuyan.

Now that you have seen the bookstore, you will not miss it.

Under the command of the master, the three horses avoided the pedestrians and came to the Xuelin Bookstore.

Lin Jingcheng turned over and dismounted, and with his arms, he hugged Ye Xiuyan down.

"It's finally down, and my legs are all weak."

Ye Xiuyan rode a horse for the first time, her nerves were tense, and her toes fell to the ground, so she was truly relieved.

"To enter the Imperial Academy, you must first learn to ride a horse."

Lin Jingcheng patted her little head, and her eyes were doting: "Riding archery is a compulsory course for students of the Imperial Court Division, and it must be assessed whether it is from literature or martial arts." ”
