Chapter 89 Brother Lin has superb riding skills and won’t fall to you

Early the next morning, at dawn, Shijian and Shishu were waiting at the entrance of the small courtyard with four fast horses.

Shiwen and Shiwu followed the prince's orders and came from other courtyards to stay in Longquan Village to protect Ye Junlan.

Ye Xiuyan got up early, finished breakfast, put on a brand 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 by mule cart.

The high-headed horses brought by Shi Jian and Shi Shu from other courtyards are good horses that can reach a distance of thirty miles. It takes less than a stick of incense to reach it.

"Girl Yan, can you ride a horse?"

Lin Jingcheng, with dark hair and black clothes, looked energetic. He took the reins from the sword attendant and patted the horse's back with a smile.

"Won't."

Ye Xiuyan looked up at the horse's back, 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 smiled, used both arms to lift her onto the horse's back, and then climbed onto the horse himself.

Ye Xiuyan straightened her back and tightened her grip on the horse's mane slightly nervously.

"Don't be nervous."

Lin Jingcheng's eyebrows were flying, he held the reins tightly with both hands, and protected the little girl in his arms: "Brother Lin has excellent riding skills and will not throw you."

"Uh-huh."

Ye Xiuyan had inexplicable trust in him, and her expression gradually relaxed.

"gone."

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

Shi Shu and Shi Jian galloped on their horses, following closely behind.

Three fast horses galloped on the mountain road, passing through the lush mountain forest and arriving at the spacious and smooth official road.

The horse neighed excitedly and galloped forward, leaving the cargo convoy far behind.

Lingyan County is built on the mountain and is named after the famous temple halfway up Longyin Mountain, Lingyan Temple.

The incense in Lingyan Temple is strong, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming to offer incense, which has promoted the economic prosperity of the small county.

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

Entering the county town and arriving at the foot of Lingyan Temple Mountain, cars were coming and going, and there were gradually more pilgrims and pedestrians.

There are vendors carrying poles walking through the streets, shaking the 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 hitting pedestrians.

The Shi Jian and Shi Shu worked in tandem to clear the way for the Crown Prince and protect his safety.

The three horses were very smart. When their master ordered them to slow down, they walked slowly forward along the official road paved with bluestone slabs at an elegant pace.

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

"Your Majesty, there is a bookshop in front of you."

Shi Jian's sharp eyes saw a row of uniquely decorated bookstores at the foot of the mountain, and he pointed with a riding crop with a smile.

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

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

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

Under the command of their master, the three horses avoided the passing pedestrians and came to Xuelin Shusi.

Lin Jingcheng turned over and dismounted, using both arms to lift Ye Xiuyan down.

"I finally came down, my legs are weak."

Ye Xiuyan was riding a horse for the first time. Her nerves were tense and her toes fell to the ground. Only then did she feel truly relieved.

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

Lin Jingcheng patted her little head with a fond look on his face: "Riding and archery is a compulsory course for students of the Royal Court Division. Both literary and martial arts must be assessed."
