The original bodyguards of the Prince Consort and Crown Prince Yan were impressive enough. Because they were leaving the city, there were also more officers and soldiers following the Imperial Guards. There were hundreds of people in total, all of whom were wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
, they walked to the street, and the momentum was so spectacular that pedestrians didn't know what to say, so they couldn't help but run away.
The group of people left Dongcheng and came to the suburbs. The grass here was green, with thin willow trees scattered among them. The river in the distance was as gentle as a jade belt, and there were wild flowers rippling in the bushes nearby. The scene was full of wild interest.
"Uncle, you see, we have the low mountain in front as our boundary. Let's rush out from here and circle the low mountain. The first one to get back here will win. Of course, since there are three people from each side, then the winner
At least two of the people must come back first."
Zhu Gaochi sat in the car and said with a smile to Wang's consort beside him. Wang's consort looked at his big belly and laughed loudly: "Gao Chi, I knew you were attracted to my "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting Picture"
, if you ask for it, it’s really hard for me as an uncle not to give it to you, but you insist on using a bet. Hey, you are asking for trouble. Looking at your wide and fat appearance, I’m afraid
Have you put all your treasure on your two younger brothers?"
As he spoke, the king's consort looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui. Seeing that they were dressed in light arrow robes and riding majestic horses, he couldn't help but praise: "They are really two rare heroes."
He pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and the other two, and said to the two equestrian instructors he had brought: "You see clearly, although the two princes are young, they grew up in Peiping, and even accompanied their father on an expedition outside the Great Wall.
The knights are very skilled. You two are famous equestrian instructors in Jinling City. I think your skills are not inferior to them. But if you really lose, hey, don't be too far behind, otherwise my face will be disgraced.
.”
These two equestrian instructors were selected from the most outstanding equestrian instructors in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. They looked at the two young princes from Prince Yan's Mansion with disdain, clasped their fists at the prince's consort and said: "Please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I'm humble.
I will never disappoint you, your Majesty will definitely win this Marseille."
The king's consort suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay, haha, if you really win, the prince will treat me to sixteen banquets. Our Jinling City has sixteen famous buildings built by Emperor Taizu.
The delicacies on the sixth floor are already available all over the world. If you win, I will not only give you a lot of rewards, but you will also be able to sit down for every banquet and have a banquet on the sixteenth floor, where you can taste all the delicacies from all over the world."
The two equestrian instructors said confidently: "The humble position must fulfill the mission!"
The king's consort turned his head, smiled at Zhu Gaochi and said, "My dear nephew, let's get on the horse too."
"Yes, uncle, please."
The two people got out of the car, and someone led the horse. Wang's son-in-law looked polite, but he was actually a military commander. How could he not know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows? The stable boy only gave a little help, and Wang's son-in-law easily sat on the horse.
He held the whip on his back and looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile. Zhu Gaochi's fat body was really struggling. One of the four guards led the horse and the other dropped the stirrup.
With all his strength, he pushed the big fat man onto the horse's back.
As soon as Zhu Gaochi got on the horse, the horse neighed and stamped its hooves, obviously bearing some weight. In fact, Zhu Gaochi knew how to ride a horse. When he was a child, he was not so fat. He also danced with swords for a few days and practiced riding for a while.
However, his obesity became more and more serious and his body became more and more clumsy. Naturally, he could no longer ride a horse and shoot arrows. However, this skill he had practiced since he was a child would not be completely forgotten just because he had not practiced it for a long time. Besides, he was also fat.
The meat is so heavy that it almost bends the horse's back when riding on it. It seems to be really stable, and there is no risk of falling.
The king's consort laughed, raised his whip and said: "Yang Baihu, you come and give the orders!"
"I obey my orders!"
Xia Xun smiled slightly, drove his horse forward, and shouted: "Get ready!"
Wang's consort, Zhu Gaochi and six other men and six horses lined up in a row and stood beside the marked line. They all leaned forward, their whips raised in the air, and they were ready.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed and he glanced at Xia Xun. Xia Xun nodded without any trace, waved his hand and shouted: "Start!"
With a "hoo" sound, the five fast horses rushed out like Xia Xun's roar. Zhu Gaochi held the horse's belly hard and whipped it twice. He rode off the horse.
Jian Ma reluctantly trotted out and ran out. At this time, the five consorts were already a stone's throw away. The guards who stayed behind couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
As soon as the six people's horses went out, their guards and some imperial guards ran out from the left and right wings. Xia Xun said to Mr. Li: "Brother Li, please wait here while I accompany the prince on the road."
Procedure."
Xia Xun is the biggest official here. Since he arranged it like this, the unsmiling Mr. Li nodded and agreed. He brought several officials with him to wait at the ***, waiting to see who would be the first to come back.
He turned his horse's head and chased Zhu Gaochi.
When they first rushed out, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were at the front. The two of them were indeed superb equestrians. In addition, although they were tall and strong, they were still young men of fourteen or fifteen years old. Their bodies were not as heavy as those of adults, accounting for more than half of their weight.
However, the two equestrian instructors who were selected from the elite of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion have relied on equestrian skills for their entire lives, and their equestrian skills are not inferior to those of Zhu Gaoxu and the other two.
Halfway through the distance, when they crossed a small river, the two instructors had already jumped half a horse's head forward, and Wang's consort was chasing after them. When they saw that their men had passed ahead, they couldn't help but rejoiced and shouted loudly.
: "Good boy, if you pass and reach the finish line first, my reward will be doubled."
When the two equestrian instructors heard this, they became very energetic. They laughed provocatively at Zhu Gaoxu who were gnashing their teeth and lashing their whips desperately. They whipped their horses and accelerated sharply. They rushed one horse forward and ran towards the short mountain without looking back.
go.
Zhu Gaoxu shouted unconvinced and winked at the third child Zhu Gaosui. The two of them also suddenly accelerated their speed. However, they were able to throw the people behind them further and further away. They wanted to catch up with the two people in front of them, but unless they
The horse stumbled and fell.
The king's consort looked at the extremely frustrated Zhu Gaoxu brothers in front, and then at Zhu Gaochi behind who seemed to be riding a free horse. He couldn't help laughing a few times, and he also raised his hand and whipped to speed up.
The king's consort ran to the bottom of the short mountain. As soon as he rounded the hillside, he saw five or six men and horses lying on the ground in front of him. They were all Jinyi officers who were accompanying Brother Zhu Gaoxu. They fell to the ground one by one and screamed miserably. The horses also neighed miserably.
Unable to get up, he couldn't help being frightened. He hurried over on Pegasus and said loudly: "How could you be so careless and bump into each other? Where are the two princes?"
An injured Jinyi officer pointed forward in pain and said: "Prince-in-law, they have run away, they have run away!"
"What?" Prince Consort Wang looked in the direction they pointed, and saw a few horses fleeting in the forest on the right front and side. The trees here are dense, and there is only one road around the mountain. If it hadn't been pointed by the Jinyi Colonel,
In time, I'm afraid he won't be able to see them when they get into the woods.
"Oops, I was fooled!"
Wang's son-in-law was shocked and was about to give the order to give chase. Suddenly, more than a dozen big men jumped out from the grass on both sides of the road ahead, each holding a crossbow. He could only hear the "clang" sound of the machine gun, and the strong horse neighed in response. Wang's son-in-law and
The horses accompanying the guards on the left and right were all hit by crossbow arrows. Some horses fell to the ground, and some horses jumped wildly in pain. They were thrown off their horses one by one, and they were in a miserable state.
Just now, the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu escaped, but they were caught off guard. They ordered the guards to attack the Jinyi Guards School who was following them, wounding people and killing horses, and fled quickly. When the king's consort arrived, only his guards and the Jinyi Guards Schools were around, and they were lying in wait.
Only then did the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion suddenly show up in the bushes.
The powerful crossbow fired quickly, killing the king's consort and the horses of the guards. They immediately abandoned the quiver, pulled it behind their backs, and raised another box of powerful crossbows. The king's consort had just stabilized his body and was about to draw his sword to fight back.
He and his guards couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Don't hurt the prince-in-law! Don't hurt the prince-in-law!"
Zhu Gaochi roared at the top of his voice. He had tried his best and rushed over as quickly as possible. There were also some Jinyiwei officer guards around him to monitor him, but when they rounded the corner of the mountain and saw the changes ahead,
The guards of Prince Yan's palace around the prince suddenly took action and attacked them.
Zhu Gaochi rushed over panting, and apologized to the king's consort: "Uncle, my nephew has no intention of offending my uncle. However, my father is suffering from a mad disease, but the court refuses to let us go back. As the son of a man, how can we not stay in front of the bed?"
How about serving medicine and food? I have no choice but to make this decision. If I offend my uncle, I will kowtow to my uncle later to apologize!"
"Your Majesty, go quickly, go quickly!"
Among those holding crossbows, there was a man who looked like a leader and waved his hand at Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi didn't even bother to say anything. He bowed to the disgraced prince's consort on his horse and rushed towards the bushes and woods. He fell into the desert.
And escaped.
"Alas! You...can you escape..."
Seeing that he didn't hurt her, the king's consort felt a little more at ease. Seeing them fleeing into the dense forest, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh with emotion.
Seeing that the Crown Prince had left, the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion retreated into the grass. They still held crossbows and arrows, their eyes sharp and cold. The Prince's Consort, the guards of the Mansion, and the Jinyi Officers did not dare to move. They had no doubt that even if
If they make a forward movement, these cold guards of the Yan Mansion will shoot arrows without hesitation, turning them into thorns.
Xia Xun, riding his horse and whipping his whip, had just turned the corner of the mountain with seven or eight guards in royal robes.
According to his plan, Prince Yan set up an ambush here to help them escape, and Yang Xu came later and pretended to chase them. Among the Jinyiwei officer schools present, he had the highest official position, and everyone else had to listen to his orders.
When he chased into the dense forest, he could easily get rid of the others and rush to join Prince Yan. By the time the truth came to light in the court, he had already accompanied Prince Yan out of the river and into the sea.
The problem is, even if everything counts, it is not as good as God. Xia Xun pretended to ask the king's consort what had happened, pretending to be filled with righteous indignation, and was about to order the Jin Yiwei officer school to follow him into the dense forest, when Luo Kedi had already led dozens of Jin Yiwei.
Come here in a hurry and you will soon reach the corner of the mountain.
