He knelt down. "Honorable emperor, may this subject be so bold as to ask the emperor to bestow a reward to this subject, is that possible?"
Qianwandi was in a good mood and asked with a smile, "What reward?
Our two countries are close, if you have any requests that are within my permission, feel free to speak! "
Prince Qiu Duo said loudly, "Even though this is the first time this subject has come to see the emperor, I have heard a long time ago that when the emperor was the crown prince, he personally led an army and flattened thousands of li of mountains and rivers.
This subject has admired the emperor for a long time, please get on the horse today and let this subject witness the emperor's glory in conquering the four directions! "
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply and looked extremely respectful and loyal.
Even though the words were nice, it was a challenge and a challenge.
The Yue family was skilled in horseback archery. If they were allowed to show off on the land of the emperor of the central plains, then it would really be a loss of face for the great country. Not to mention, the other party had already sent a letter of challenge to them.
The Yue family prince's move was not for show. Galloping and shooting continuously, hitting the target every time, that was something an expert could do. Even soldiers who had been on the battlefield for so many years might not be able to do it.
Maybe even if the former number one expert in the world came personally, he would only say with a smile, "Everyone has their own specialization."
But if they accepted the challenge, then it might not really be giving the emperor face.
No matter how Qianwandi personally led the army, that was his own business. That was a matter that concerned the survival of the country, the country, and the country.
If he competed with the prince of a small country in archery on a small hunting ground, no matter if he won or lost, it would not be a good thing.
There was a good saying, your opponent's skill level represented your own skill level.
When State Preceptor Zhuo lost to Chief Steward Lu, that was a secret matter and was not shameful. However, if Qianwandi, as the emperor of the Celestial Empire, rashly accepted the Yue family prince's challenge, then he would be putting himself in the position of a prince of a vassal country.
Qianwandi only smiled and did not speak. The two were in a stalemate, neither of them moving.
After a while, Mingde could not take it anymore. His temper was bad to begin with, even if his mind was not clear, his temper was still bad.
When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he became impatient. He slowly walked to the side of the Yue family's precious horse and raised his hand to gently stroke the horse's nose.
The Yue family's horse snorted and immediately attracted attention. A few palace servants ran over in panic. "Little ancestor!
Hurry up and follow us back! "
Mingde ignored them.
He looked at the warhorse, then turned back to look at the bow and arrow and the battlefield. His eyes gradually showed a bit of confusion.
All of this should have nothing to do with his life, but he felt that it was so familiar. It was as if as soon as he got up, he could immediately sit on a horse.
The feel of the reins, the angle of the bow, it was as if he could just close his eyes and imagine what it was like.
An inexplicable impulse tempted him. He looked at the warhorse, and the warhorse looked at him. There were reflections in their eyes, as if they had really merged into one and fought together.
A scream came from the distance. The palace servants stumbled over. Qianwandi was shocked and turned to look. He saw Mingde jump and nimbly sit on the horse.
Qianwandi was shocked. He felt his hands and feet go cold, and his entire body almost went soft.
He had been through this for a long time. He only lost his composure for a moment and then pushed Prince Qiu Duo aside to charge over.
"Mingde!" Li Ji shouted harshly. "Get down!"
Mingde looked at him curiously, as if he did not understand what he was saying.
The Yue family's precious horse had a very fierce personality. How could it tolerate someone other than its master riding it? It realized that something was wrong and impatiently stepped forward.
Mingde still remembered to raise the horse and draw the bow, but his body's condition was deteriorating.
If he was at his peak, not to mention taming a fierce horse, it would not be difficult for him to make everyone in this battlefield tremble in fear.
But right now, he was muddle-headed and did not know anything. He was completely relying on his instincts to find it fun. If he fell off the horse, it would not be a joke.
Qianwandi did not know what to do. He saw that the attendant was still holding the horse. He immediately pulled it over and flew onto the horse. He shouted harshly, "Someone come!
Stop him! "
Mingde looked dazedly at the person running towards him, and then looked at Li Ji.
In his impression, this man had always brought him food and toys, carefully coaxing and persuading him. When had he ever spoken so harshly?
The little guy instantly felt a bit wronged.
He gently raised his hand and turned the horse around. He leaned over and said to the black horse, "Let's go?"
The Yue family's precious horse immediately raised its body and neighed angrily. At the same time, it suddenly stopped running in an attempt to throw Mingde off.
Mingde only felt that he was being pushed back and forth by a strong force. The ground under his feet shook, making him feel nauseous. His hands gradually could not hold on anymore.
No one dared to rashly approach. They all slowly and tentatively approached the fierce horse. Li Ji was almost scared out of his wits at this time. He wanted to rush forward without caring about anything, but he was desperately pulled back by Zhang Kuo, "Emperor!
Take care of your dragon body, emperor!
You can't put yourself in danger, emperor! "
Qianwandi threw him off and urged the horse forward.
Who knew that at this time, Mingde looked at the horse under him and frowned. He suddenly raised his whip and fiercely whipped the horse's butt!
This horse had never been whipped like this before. It immediately jumped up in anger.
However, before it could start running, Mingde suddenly pulled on the reins and fiercely whipped it a few times. The force was not used to train the horse, but to whip it to death.
At the same time, he squeezed the horse's belly and forced the black horse to raise its front hooves. He shouted, "Jia!"
The black horse roared and suddenly rushed out.
The black lightning rampaged on the hunting ground. Wherever it went, no one dared to stop it. In the end, they couldn't stop it because the huge cloud of dust quickly drowned them.
Everyone's eyes were filled with yellow sand. Qianwandi only felt that his hands and feet were weak. He tried to chase after it like crazy. He constantly shouted in the sand, "Mingde!
Mingde, come back! "
He only heard the whooshing sound of arrows. Sometimes it was rapid, and sometimes it suddenly stopped. It was like a violent storm. During the turbulence, no one knew where the next round of arrows would come from.
Qianwandi only felt that his heart was in his throat. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging. His eyes were bloodshot. Even if someone blocked in front of him, he would slash with his sword without thinking!
Suddenly, he heard an extremely loud neigh. That neigh was like a bright flash of lightning in the rolling dark clouds, cutting through all the haze.
The dust and sand gradually dispersed. Their eyes gradually became clear. On the high ground, Mingde pulled on the reins. The Yue family's horse was raised as high as a person.
The rough wind blew fiercely. He looked as if he was standing on top of a mountain, looking down at them motionlessly.
The quiver on the horse's back was empty. The ancient Maga Bow was still trembling. The targets in the distance were shot and fell to the ground. The startled deer fled in panic. However, the head of the deer herd, the White Deer, had already been shot through the head by an arrow!
Mingde threw away the ancient Maga Bow. He looked at the blood and mess on the ground in bewilderment.
He seemed to have experienced it before. It was just that he — — could not remember.
The surrounding people looked at him in shock. They looked at the person they thought was insignificant and was already crippled. Suddenly, one day, he unconsciously revealed his sharpness.
The sharpness of his sharpness was not inferior to the sharpness he showed on the battlefield. It was even less eye-catching and more terrifying.
Mingde frowned. His expression was unusually pained.
Dust and sand, blood, howls, war horses … … everything that happened in the distant northern border seemed to be on the verge of coming out, jumping at his temples.
He felt as if he was in a luxurious palace, enjoying a comfortable life in a muddle-headed way. He also felt as if he was in a bloody battlefield, where countless people knelt before him, worshipped him, and bowed their heads to him.
ranwen.la
Who is it?
What happened?
Where am I?
What is all of this?
Countless scenes appeared one after another, attacking him like a flood of ferocious beasts.
Mingde instinctively shut himself off. He did not listen, did not think. However, all of this gave him a splitting headache. It was like he was being torn in half.
"Ah!"
Mingde tightly held his head. He bent down and then fell off the horse.
With a plop, Qianwandi ran over and knelt down. He held him tightly in his arms. He used so much strength that it was like he was going to break Mingde in half.
Mingde opened his eyes. He looked in horror at Qianwandi and shouted for the imperial physicians. He watched as people ran over to him and hurriedly lifted him onto a stretcher. Then, he was picked up by Qianwandi and left the battlefield without looking back.
That inexplicably familiar feeling left him, and his muddled heart actually felt an indescribable pain.
The last thing he saw was Prince Jodo in the crowd. That person was very strange. He just looked at him like that. It was as if he had a strong desire to eat him, but also couldn't help but kneel down and worship him.
What Ming De didn't know in his muddle-headed mind was that his skill had already shocked everyone. The archers of the two countries didn't need to compete anymore. No one else dared to step forward and challenge the glory and authority of the Ancient Maga Bow.
A good hunt ended in such a hurry.
A few days later, the Yue's diplomatic group bid farewell. They prepared to return to the court that night.
When Prince Jodo bid farewell, Qianwandi wasn't in the palace.
Old Jun Mei, who lived in the suburbs, was seriously ill. He was an old imperial physician who assisted the previous emperor. He had always taken care of the crown prince, Li Ji. Thus, he was especially valued.
When Qianwandi heard that the old man was seriously ill, he immediately set out to see him.
Only Ding Huang represented Qianwandi in bidding farewell to the Yue's diplomatic group. He sent them all the way out of the palace.
Qiu Duo secretly looked at the group that was sending them off. Mingde wasn't among them.
He could only sigh. He suddenly turned his horse around and shouted in the Yue's language, "Let's go!"
"Your Highness, please wait!"
Qiu Duo turned around and saw a manservant come up on a horse and block the way.
Qiu Duo furrowed his brows. He recognized this manservant. He was the servant who said that Consort Xian was still the concubine who sent the jade plate.
The manservant looked around and then cupped his hands towards Qiu Duo. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, we don't know when we'll meet again. Our concubine has already prepared a big gift for Your Highness.
This is a map of the shortcut after leaving the capital. We'll give it to you as well. "
Before Qiu Duo could react, the manservant had already bowed and said with a smile, "Your Highness, we'll meet again!" He turned around and dashed back to the city.
Qiu Duo was wondering what was going on when he suddenly heard the servant beside the carriage run over in a panic, "Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Not good! "
Qiu Duo urged his horse forward and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
