The guards guarding the gate of the Prince's Mansion all looked very ugly, and their hands were already on their weapons. The other party obviously didn't take them seriously, not to mention that the Prince was still at the door.
Lan Yu obviously also saw Zhu Gui, but he still rode his horse to the gate before stopping, then turned over and dismounted, deliberately getting very close to Zhu Gui, then looked down at Zhu Gui and said, "See Dai Wang, Dai Wang is going to
Are you going out? I have a good horse here, why don't we come together?"
Lan Yu wanted to give Zhu Gui a warning. In his opinion, it was impossible for a pampered young prince like Zhu Gui to ride a horse.
However, Zhu Gui bypassed him, came to his mount, gave a beautiful kick, and then turned on the horse.
There was a look of surprise in Lan Yu's eyes, but the corners of her mouth turned up.
His horse is the only good horse among ten thousand, and it has a very fierce temper. Except for him, no one else has ever successfully ridden it, and some people even broke their legs and feet.
Just as he expected, the horse named Snowflake immediately began to neigh when Zhu Gui climbed on his back, and then began to struggle desperately, trying to throw Zhu Gui off.
The guards in the palace were all frightened, and quickly gathered around to take Zhu Gui down. Several of them were even kicked away by snowflakes, but they still did not dare to give up. If something happened to Zhu Gui,
If they fell off their horses, they would all lose their heads.
However, Lan Yu and his men behind him looked at this scene with smiles on their faces, as if they were gloating.
Zhu Gui, who was on horseback, had a serious look on his face. He held the reins tightly and did not dare to relax for a moment.
"Your Majesty, how is my horse? If you can sit on it for a stick of incense, I will give this horse to Your Majesty. How about it?"
The reason why Lan Yu said this was because he wanted Zhu Gui to make a fool of himself in public and save some face. This would also pave the way for what he would discuss with Zhu Gui later.
However, Zhu Gui didn't seem to hear it and ignored Lan Yu at all. Instead, he slapped the horse's butt and led the horse to gallop in the other direction on the street.
Lan Yu was startled. He originally wanted to tease the young prince, but if something happened to him, the emperor would definitely hold him accountable.
But in this case, I am afraid that the matter of going to the border will only fall on him. Lan Yu was a little entangled for a while, not knowing whether he should take care of Zhu Gui. After much hesitation, he still asked his subordinates to follow him, but he told him that if
If the young prince didn't fall off his horse, then they should leave him alone.
And he himself went into the palace to meet the saint, wanting to make a bitter trick first, admitting this mistake to Zhu Yuanzhang, so as to reduce the possible punishment.
Zhu Gui was riding on the snowflakes at this time, galloping all the way towards the south gate of Nanjing.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." He shouted loudly while holding the horse.
When the people on the street saw someone riding a horse in the street, they originally wanted to condemn him, but they immediately fell silent when they saw the person riding a horse.
In this way, Zhu Gui arrived at the city gate unimpeded.
Several guards at the city gate were chatting, and they were talking about what happened last night when Lan Yu's men were captured. This was the most majestic moment in their lives. Many people expressed their gratitude to Zhu Gui for his generous action.
Affection.
At this time, they suddenly heard exclamations coming from the street. Two of them were about to check, and then they saw a tall horse galloping towards them.
"Who dares to ride a horse in the street? Ah, is it the acting king?"
The two guards' disagreement was like turning over a book, and their attitudes changed so quickly that it was astonishing.
"Get out of the way quickly. I can't control this horse. I don't want to hurt you." Zhu Gui said loudly.
The guards at the city gate hurriedly moved away the horse, and then watched Zhu Gui disappear over the horizon riding a snowflake.
"Why is the king training horses in the city? If the emperor finds out, he will definitely be unhappy."
"Didn't you notice? The horse that King Dai is riding belongs to General Sapphire. It is a bloody horse from the Western Regions. It is unique. It is said that few people can tame it."
"Is the young prince so powerful? He can even tame the general's horse."
The guards at the city gate were discussing this matter animatedly.
And here Lan Yu is kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. On behalf of the King, he insists on riding on my horse. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I can no longer send anyone to follow the prince."
"This kid Zhu Gui is causing trouble for me. What if he breaks his arm and leg? What if he can't go on the expedition? Lan Yu, what's the matter with you? Oh, forget it, send someone first
Go and find Zhu Gui, and nothing will happen to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand helplessly and said.
A smile appeared on Lan Yu's face, everything was within his expectation.
Lan Yu did not believe that Zhu Gui had the ability to tame his mount, and as long as Zhu Gui could not lead the army due to a fall, the opportunity would return to his side.
This is really God helping me, Lan Yu thought.
At this time, Zhu Gui was still on Xuehua's back. Due to the massive loss of physical strength, he could no longer hold the reins. The skin on his palms was also worn out, and the sweat almost made him unable to open his eyes.
He could only throw away the reins and hold Snowflake's neck tightly with both hands, trying to make it stop.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took, but when Zhu Gui woke up again, he was already lying on a bed.
But this bed is very hard, obviously not the big bed in Prince Dai's palace. "Where is this place? Is there anyone there?"
Zhu Gui asked weakly.
An old man came in from outside carrying a bowl of soup, "Child, drink some water."
"Where are you, old man?" Zhu Gui took the water bowl and felt that his throat was on fire.
"This is Songxi." the old man said.
"Songxi?" Zhu Gui was so shocked that he almost threw away the water bowl.
Because Songxi is three hundred miles away from Nanjing, but it was already afternoon when he set out. He glanced out the window and realized that it was getting late.
"Old man, how long have I been unconscious?" Zhu Gui did not intend to reveal his identity to the other party.
"It's been more than two hours, kid, why are you on horseback? Do you know how dangerous it is?" the old man said in an angry tone.
"Old man? Where's that horse?" Zhu Gui couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that he didn't fall off the horse.
"That horse is grazing outside the door. It is also exhausted." The old man pointed out the window and said.
However, due to the darkness of night, Zhu Gui did not see Xue Hua.
It seemed that Zhu Gui had tamed the snowflakes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
