Chapter 14: Gallop

Kunlun Garden is located at the intersection of Baolu Mountain and Yige City. It is a hunting place for the heavenly family and the children of the gentry.
Its gardens span the five realms of Tiandu, Lianzhi, Lan'an, Hegu, and Huailuan, spanning more than four hundred miles. Among them, Ba, Feng, Si, Yi, Gao, and Lang Liushui converge. The beautiful scenery of Jushan Lake is picturesque. The Eight Great Halls, Seventeen Palaces, Twenty-Four Views, and Thirty-nine Gardens are dotted with magnificent momentum and ingenious workmanship.
Emperor Mu of the Celestial Dynasty was obsessed with the art of immortality. During his reign, because of the excellent Fengshui of Baolu Mountain, he used one hundred thousand people to move mountains and pile up soil to connect Kunlun Garden to build Xuansheng Palace, which lasted 13 years.
The Xuansheng Palace is exquisitely structured and beautiful. The sky before it is more than 20 feet high, with nine phoenixes spreading their wings and standing in the wind, paved with jade to lead to the platform of the gods. The Shenming Terrace rises from the ground, and there is a fairy who lifts a jade plate to accept the clouds and exposes the clouds. His appearance is ethereal, and it is still visible from a hundred miles out of Yige City. Fudaofei pavilions were built in many places in the palace, connected to Qiongtai Yaochi, like a fairyland in the Nine Heavens. Although today the emperor is not interested in alchemy and seeking immortality, he loves the scenery here. After ascending to the throne, he designated it as a place for the royal family to worship the heavens and hold major ceremonies, gradually expanding the palace, and living here for a period of time every year.
Nanyuan Paddock goes deep into the mountains to raise animals in captivity, forming a hunting garden that can accommodate thousands of people. Qing Chen rode his horse in the same night, suddenly enlightened. The weather changed from the sultry to the past, and from time to time there was a drizzle, smearing the earth. The undulating mountains and plains of the jungle seem to be connected to the distant sky, wide and continuous.
Qing Chen shook his horse whip nearby and took it back. Just now, she was very depressed on the road. Under Ye Tianli's seat, "chasing the night" BMW was abnormally supernatural, and she always had the upper hand in several trials with her. Seeing Ye Tianli smiled triumphantly, she was unwilling to say: "If it's not for Mahao, how can you be so arrogant!"
"Haha, I said it earlier, don't forget that I taught your equestrian skills. Is it possible that you still want to beat me?" Ye Tian pointed his finger at the racecourse in a radius of hundreds of miles. "There are countless horses in Kunlun Garden. Don't hesitate to choose, let's compare with each other."
Qing Chen curled his lips and said: "I am out of blue and outperform blue in order to show how great you are as a master. You are not afraid that I will beat you, so you still keep a hand in secret?"
Ye Tianli laughed and said: "You call Master first, how about I teach you more ways to train horses?"
"Humph!" Qing Chen gave him an angry glance, "You wait until I go to find the clouds, don't believe you don't lose!"
Ye Tianli smiled and said: "It's easy to say! Come and come, this king will take you to find, as long as it is willing to follow you, I will give in on the spot!"
Before the two had finished their words, they saw the horses galloping from a short distance away. At first, a horse was as frosty as the long temples, blowing in the wind, like the bright moon, day and snow, and rushed from the vast wilderness. When it gets closer, the horse seems to be galloping happily, crowning the riders, and slowly stopping, Yi Yi's eyes are rebellious, and he looks arrogantly here.
Qing Chen's eyes lit up: "Yun Cheng!"
"Oh, I'm talking about it!" Ye Tianli turned his head and said with a smile, Qing Chen had already gotten off his horse and walked towards Yuncheng.
Seeing someone coming, Yun Cheng took a long step and turned around dismissively, and the horses were divided into groups with the sound of neighing, and they dispersed. Qing Chen knew that if Ma'er refused to get close to you, it would be useless to chase him, and stood down and shouted, "Yun Cheng..."
Yun Cheng turned his head and paused for a while, probably recognizing Qing Chen's appearance, remembering that she had taken care of herself, and snorted softly.
Qing Chen tried to stretch out his hand, Yun Cheng didn't seem to reject it, and slowly approached her, tentatively sniffing her palm, as if he could feel her friendliness, and the pure and beautiful eyes showed a sense of closeness. Qing Chen quickly took out a pine nut candy. Yun Cheng obviously liked it very much. His ears were slightly erected, and she began to slowly lick her food in the palm of her hand, raising her hoof and hissing lightly from time to time, with a pleasant appearance. Qing Chen took the opportunity to stroke its neck and said softly: "Yun Cheng is so good, are your injuries healed? I didn't see you last time in the racecourse, where did you go?"
The tourmaline spirit stone on her wrist exudes a soft light, Yun Cheng's eyes are shimmering, as if he can understand her words, and she actually allows her to hold the reins, bow her head docilely, and rub her palms like a baby . Qing Chen smiled and said: "You don't like those horse trainers, do you? I know that they always want to force you. If it's me, they won't like them."
While she was talking, she took out pine nut candy for Yun Cheng to eat. Ye Tianli saw her talking to the horse in a serious manner, and couldn't help laughing. Rarely, when he was in a good mood today, he threw down the rein and let the chase go to eat the grass, and went to rest under the nearby tree. Unexpectedly, it took the time to regain his senses, when Yun Cheng suddenly heard a long hiss, Qing Chen turned on his horse and rushed forward like silver light and lightning on a single ride.
"Qing Chen!" Ye Tian yelled in surprise. He knew that Yun Cheng was very hostile. In the past few years, I have not known how many horse trainers were killed or injured under his hooves. He was shocked and sweated all over his body. Chase.
Yun Cheng had already rushed out several feet at this time. Although he was chasing the night and galloping with his hoofs, Yun Cheng was far ahead like a royal wind, and always kept a distance from him.
At this time, the guards accompanying by the side also chased from all sides, and for a moment, the sound of people screamed, and the birds and beasts in the field were scared to flee, and the horses within the radius were all frightened.
Qing Chen got on the horse boldly, and was startled by Yun Cheng's speed at first. But although Yun Cheng ran fast, he did not jump spontaneously. As long as he managed to maintain balance with a little riding skill, he would be exceptionally stable on horseback. She found that Yun Cheng did not resist herself, she was surprised and delighted, and simply shook the rein boldly, not only without restraint, but indulged Yun Cheng to run wild.
From time to time, Yun Cheng ran for a long time with his hoofs, and sometimes sprinted from side to side. Qing Chen had been instructed by Ye Tianli earlier, and at this time equestrianism had already improved a lot. He leaned over and immediately let it indulge, but occasionally tried to take the reins lightly. Yun Cheng is indeed a rare BMW. He is not only a superb but also well-versed in human nature, and he is very obedient to Qing Chen's command. As the people and horses adapted to each other, Yun Cheng seemed to be very happy after running dozens of miles away. Under Qing Chen's constraints, he raised his hoof and hissed lightly, and his speed was a little slow. Chasing the night Zonghu Rufei rushed to the front in an instant, Ye Tianli shouted to Qing Chen: "Stay steady!" He approached Yun Cheng and buckled the horse's rein. Who knew that Yun Cheng had moved forward quickly, but at this time he suddenly moved forward. Stopping there, flashing all the chasing people a few steps away, a dragon swung its tail like a big turn, turning its head and shooting backwards.
Ye Tianli turned around on a horse, flicked his wrist, and threw the horse hoop to Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng deftly leaned and rushed out, but the lasso suddenly failed. The guards successively made all their attempts to no avail, but they were tricked around.
Following Qing Chen and Yun Cheng around a few times, Ye Tianli suddenly felt that something was wrong. After paying attention, Qing Chen's eyes were full of mischievous expressions, and his face was full of heartless smirks. There was no half of it. Scared of the shadow? Looking at her stable and flexible horse and the guards, he stopped the horse's rein, laughing and angry in his heart.
Qing Chen caught a glimpse of Ye Tianli's expression and knew that he had seen it through. He turned around and smiled at him: "Dare you compare and compare? This time I won't lose to you." She touched Yun Cheng with joy. Cheng turned his head like she did, and gave Ye Tianli a provocative look, and he was venting with her.
Ye Tianli was extremely surprised, but even more dumbfounded: "You want to scare me to death? If you have something wrong, how can I explain to Brother Seven!"
Qing Chen pursed his mouth and smiled, Ye Tian glared at her fiercely, and she looked back at her with extremely innocent eyes, and then looked back at Yun Cheng's beautiful eyes with a sly smile, really angry and didn't know how to vent.
Yun Cheng and Qing Chen fell in love with each other so much that not only did she treat her affectionately before and let her apply medicine to heal her injuries, but now she is willing to train her to ride the horse without resisting. Ye Tianli was shocked by Fang Ding, and was so surprised that he couldn't help but look forward to it, and was surprised. "I don't want you to have fate with this horse, I really want to listen to you."
"Why, are you afraid of losing to us? Do you dare to compete again?" Qing Chen smiled and looked at him, and suddenly swung his whip to Chai Xiao. Chau Xiao raised his hoof and hissed in surprise, and rushed forward.
"Start!" Qing Chen laughed, and the cloud shot out like an arrow from the string, and then rushed past the chasing night, leading away.
"Dare to deceive!" Ye Tian Li raised his sword eyebrows, and immediately pursued him. Young heroic, angry horses like dragons, the two ran in the paddock happily. Yun Cheng is indeed a good horse that has been hard to see in a hundred years, Chasing Night Zong is the best horse among horses, but still frequently lags behind it, finally allowing Qing Chen to win back the defeat.
Zheng Benz was on Xing's head, and a group of people came from far away. It was Ye Tianzhan who had led two teams of Yulin guards. When Ye Tianli saw it, he said: "No, it's Brother Seven. If you let him know that you are riding Yuncheng, he must be reprimanded."
On the horseback in the front, a tight-fitting narrow-sleeved samurai suit set Ye Tian Zhan's handsome figure out of the ordinary, white robe is free and easy, the flying horse gallops before them in a moment. Qing Chen and Ye Tianli dismounted together, Yun Cheng was extraordinary after all, and she felt that her legs were sore and tired at this time, and she shook her barely stopped.
Ye Tianzhan's expression changed slightly, turned over and fell beside her, raised his hand to support her, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yun Cheng walked to the side by himself, Qing Chen stroked his chest and said nothing, feeling that the body was quite overwhelmed after this tossing. After a while after breathing for a while, he muttered in a low voice: "The bones are going to be loose."
Ye Tianli said: "Whoever asks you to provoke Yuncheng, a person is dead if he doesn't fall."
Qing Chen raised his eyes and said with a flying expression: "Yun Cheng is willing to listen to me, okay?"
Ye Tianzhan glanced at them, and Qing Chen was immediately afraid to say anything when he saw it. Ye Tianli hurriedly smiled and asked, "Didn't Seventh Brother be instructed to accompany Shiluo Khan? Why did he come to Yuyuan?"
Ye Tianzhan said: "If you don't come, I don't know if you two are so bold. Yun Cheng just fell to death with a horse trainer last month, you know, how dare you let her ride!"
Ye Tianli pointed at Qing Chen: "How can I manage her? I was almost tossed to death by her just now."
Qing Chen quietly glanced at Ye Tianli's bitter face, couldn't help but laugh, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers, Yun Cheng hissed proudly before coming over here. Qing Chen stretched out his hand to touch its mane and took out another piece of pine nut candy. Yun Cheng licked it unceremoniously and held it in his mouth. By the way, he rubbed her face with his nose. Qing Chen laughed "Oh" and stretched out his hand. I am very happy to straighten out its slightly messy mane.
Ye Tianzhan looked at Yun Cheng's affection to Qing Chen with surprise, and turned to Ye Tian to ask questions.
Qing Chen said: "Yun Cheng is very obedient and won't hurt me. Nothing happened anyway, so don't be angry."
Ye Tianzhan frowned slightly and said: "Father and Shiluo Khan have come to the racecourse and are looking for Yuncheng."
Ye Tianli looked over there, vaguely saw the yellow flag raised by the imperial forest army, knowing that the emperor had come in person, and snorted coldly: "Silu Khan came to Yuncheng, but he wanted to see my heavenly court. joke?"
However, it is said that the Turkic tribe occupies Mobei. Decades ago, due to the throne dispute, they were split into two parts. One was built as a capital and the other was established in the Gule River. Although there were continuous civil wars, they have been fighting with the Central Plains since then , Time of war and time.
In the 19th year of Shengwu, the East Turks frequently harassed the border, burned, killed and looted. Under the anger of the emperor, he sent 200,000 troops to the north, and went all the way to the hinterland of Mobei, breaking through to Nacheng. The East Turks were defeated and surrendered. Shiluo Khan entered the capital to pay tribute. At the same time, he brought two BMWs, Fengchi and Yuncheng. They were called tributes, but the desert horses were difficult to tame, and they would not be touched by idlers. , If no one in the celestial dynasty can tame the wind and clouds, even if the battlefield wins, it will inevitably be disgraced.
But what Shiluo Khan did not expect was that in previous years, the two armies were defeated by the four emperors Ye Tianling in almost every battle. This time he brought the wind and clouds, and Ye Tianling saw the horse fall several times. People asked the emperor for orders. Although Shiluo Khan couldn't wait for Ye Tianling to fall to death under the horse, he watched the two horses' strongest wind galloping for a few rounds and obediently bowed to him.
With an indifferent expression, King Ling, who was driving the wind like a god, was like a lonely ice mountain. After a lone army of more than 10,000 people penetrated the city of Dana, he once again made the Eastern Turks come back from the Central Plains. Those cold and deep silent eyes, that kind of indifferent and disdainful eyes, are like a sharp sword, deeply inserted in the heart of the Turkic people's eyes. After repeated defeats and repeated defeats, the Turkic generals are now discouraged by seeing the Xuanjia army flag, and after hearing the name of King Ling, they are regarded as ghosts and detours.
But now King Ling is not in Tiandu, and Feng Chi is also following him on the battlefield ahead. Although Shiluo Khan came to the court to show that he did not cooperate with the Western Turks, his words and deeds always carried some unpredictable meaning.
Qing Chen probably heard the clues from the two of them talking, and turned around to smile at Ye Tianzhan: "I have been taken care of by you these days. Now that Yun Cheng recognizes me, how is his prestige and prestige in helping you kill Na Shi Luo Khan today? "
Ye Tianzhan's face was clear, but his eyes sank slightly: "Are you repaying me?"
Qing Chen smiled happily: "No, it's that you look pretty ugly when I see you sternly!"
Ye Tianzhan was taken aback for a moment, and Ye Tianli leaned close to Qing Chen and said in a low voice: "Ah, this sounds like...Beauty Bo Qige smiled."
Qing Chen stared cross-brows, almost wanting to give him a nasty smile with a whip, he already laughed and urged the horse to avoid it.
The corners of Qing Chen's eyes were smooth, and the corners of his lips were full of smiles when Ye Tianzhan was riding a horse idle. The eyes of the two of them touched, and the softness in his eyes was as if the boundless green grass drizzle enveloping people in an instant. She hurriedly lowered her eyes and urged Yuncheng to run a few steps, but she also laughed comfortably inadvertently.
The front yellow flag is facing the wind, the honor guard is solemn, two rows of imperial armours are lined up, and the imperial driver is already close. The emperor and a Turkic man with deep eyes and high noses each ride on a horse. The Ninth Prince, Ye Tianming, is also accompanied by him. Next to him is an alien woman in a fiery red riding outfit, who is Princess Huyue, the pearl of Shiro Khan’s palm. .
The emperor saw Yun Cheng obeyed and intimate with Qing Chen, and his eyes flashed in surprise, but he didn't ask a question. He just turned to gossip with Shiluo Khan: "I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time, you think Yun Cheng is better than in Turks. how is it?"
Shiluo Khan said with a smile: "The spirit of flying seems to be better than before. The water and soil of the Central Plains are magical, which is really enviable." A Chinese dialect was really round and spoke very well.
The princess Huyue has gorgeous eyes, arrogant and hot, and she looks at Qing Chen up and down with a bit of refreshment that is rare in a woman in the Central Plains. She raised her voice and asked: "You are riding Yuncheng?"
Qing Chen smiled lightly: "It's Yun Cheng, yes."
Princess Huyue had suffered from Yuncheng's loss in Turke, her eyebrows raised, and the whip pointed: "I don't believe you can control Yuncheng, can you dare to try riding with me?"
It's a matter of the state, Qing Chen didn't want to make his own way, turned and looked at the Emperor of Heaven, waiting to show her.
Shiluo Khan said to the Emperor of Heaven: "Your Majesty, might as well ask the young people to have fun by themselves, we are also lively watching."
During the Spring and Autumn Festivals or the tribute of various countries, horseback riding, kicking, shooting and hunting are all common games for women from the celestial dynasty. The emperor was inconvenient to refute Shiluo Khan's face, but he didn't know what Qing Chen's riding skills were, and he was silent for a while.
When Qing Chen saw it, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Qing Chen's riding skills are only ordinary among my celestial women. I dare not fight with the princess. I will go to try the horse with the princess, and ask your majesty and Khan to move on the sidelines, just as we young people play."
This is so decent, the Emperor nodded and smiled: "That's right, this is because I am old. I forget that young people like to play these things."
Ye Tianli had only seen Yun Cheng's greatness, and he was a temperament who feared that the world would not be chaotic, and followed: "Father, even if we win, it will be a good horse offered by Khan. Qing Chen's riding skills are taught by me. , The father can rest assured."
The princess Huyue picked up her apricot when she heard the words, and said: "You don't want to boast, we have the ability to compare!"
Ye Tianli laughed and said, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman. The princess will win my disciple first!"
Princess Huyue gave him a fierce look, and said to Qing Chen: "Okay! I'll be waiting for you in front." Qing Chen bowed to the Emperor and Shiluo Khan, and summoned Yun Cheng to go afterwards.
Ye Tianzhan frowned slightly, and said to the emperor sideways: "Father, horse racing is dangerous after all. Don't hurt the princess. It's better to accompany them with your children, so you can have a look after."
The emperor quasi said: "Go."
Ye Tianzhan and the others came close, listening to Princess Huyue saying to Qing Chen: "What's the point of being faster, isn't your heavenly army invincible? Can you dare to compare with me?"
Qing Chen stroked Yun Cheng and pursed his mouth, nodded and said, "The princess will decide!"
Ye Tianzhan immediately glanced at her. This equestrian competition in the spear formation is a common method used in the military. In addition to arranging obstacles with long spears across the field, sword formations will be set up around the upper and lower sides, and the riders will travel through it. Win by passing quickly and not being damaged.
Ye Tianzhan frowned slightly, and turned to the guards: "Look for twenty long spears in a flat place in front of you. Remove all spear heads. You don't need to set up a sword formation to drive away all the birds and beasts. Don't startle the princess. Horse."
Qing Chen listened to his instructions, smiled at him gratefully, and moved forward. Suddenly he met Ye Tianming's different eyes beside him, and his heart jumped unexpectedly, and he felt unspeakable weird. .
Princess Huyue showed her dissatisfaction when she heard the words, and she was about to break out. A black shadow flashed beside her, and Ye Tian leaned forward and said: "According to the rules of my celestial dynasty, the spears and swords have to pass through, and the princess wins first. After the first game of my apprentice, I will personally compete with you in the next game, how?"
Princess Huyue snorted and turned her head: "Wait!" Then she urged her horse with a whip and left.
The guards set up their long spears as instructed, and the two sides set the rules of the game: the two people, based on the number of golden arrows in the quiver, knock off a long spear and put one arrow, and the rider falls off the horse and counts as two, in order to quickly beat a hundred drums. Time, whoever has fewer arrows in the quiver is the winner.
The emperor and Shira Khan moved to watch the battle and made a referee by the way.
Princess Huyue and Qing Chen rode side by side, Yun Cheng seemed to feel the atmosphere of the arena, raising his hoof and hissing lightly, seemed extremely excited. When the drum sounded, the two men and two horses shot out at the same time.
The sky had already received the rain, a ray of sunshine burst out of the clouds, and the thunder and drums on the grassland raised flags, and the guards cheered in unison.
Qing Chen was originally worried that her riding skills could not be as good as Princess Huyue, and the odds of winning were not high. Who knows that Yuncheng rushed to the front of Princess Huyue in an instant, without the master’s effort at all, riding the wind against the clouds, like a flash of light flashing through the air. He landed steadily, went straight for the second shot, and everyone applauded in unison.
Qing Chen praised in secret, and her confidence suddenly increased. Princess Huyue didn't fall behind either. She leaned over and hurried the horses and followed them. The two horses shot twice at the same time, and Xueying in red was good at winning.
Yun Cheng was as fast as lightning and as fast as a gust of wind, letting go of his speed, and was always faster than his opponent. Before the seventh long spear, Princess Huyue wanted to catch up with Qing Chen. She screamed her whip and urged her horse. She quickly let go of her four hooves and rushed towards the spear, but unexpectedly, she was shot in the front hoof. body.
The spear broke, and half of the gun barrel suddenly flew toward the horse's head. The horse neighed in surprise and rushed diagonally. Princess Huyue was slammed by the frightened horse, she screamed and lost her balance. In order to avoid the obstacle, Yun Cheng suddenly accelerated and jumped up, and his four hoofs vacated. After all, Qing Chen changed his horses and was not very comfortable with it. When he was shocked, he threw his body outwards. Close.
The clouds fell towards the front in the mist, and rushed out a few steps steadily. An ink shadow galloped on Princess Huyue, and someone leaned over to rescue her. There were also people around Qing Chen who flashed up, but the hands of the two supported them at the same time.
Qing Chen turned his head and saw Ye Tianzhan and Ye Tianming riding together, subconsciously reined and gently moved back. The two people around him glanced at each other silently, and the light in one's slender eyes flashed, piercing people's hearts like a thin blade; the wind and clouds in one's eyes were light, and the clear light of cold moon and water flashed by.
Qing Chen quickly laughed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Tianzhan didn't answer, and the corners of his smiling lips were pressed warmly. The expression was so light that people were spontaneously hairy. When I looked at her, she was safe and sound. Said: "Go and see the princess."
Ye Tianming squinted his eyes and stared at Qing Chen, the bright light in his eyes lining his beautiful face with an almost magical charm. Qing Chen's heart shuddered slightly, and he couldn't help but evade his horse, and followed to see Princess Huyue.
Princess Huyue sat on the back of Chau Xiao, her pretty face flushed, her silver teeth biting secretly. Ye Tian had a carefree smile on his face, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows to see the beauty of anger, got off the horse and raised his hand to help her. Princess Huyue glared beautifully, but gave him her hand and jumped off the horse and returned to Shira Khan.
Ye Tianli then smiled and said, "The two are in no particular order. Today is considered a tie. It's getting late, and if I have a chance in the future, I will take the princess to the dance horse show. That's interesting."
Princess Huyue almost fell, winning or losing is already known, but the Emperor of Heaven smiled without mentioning it. Princess Huyue glanced at Qing Chen and said nothing. Shiluo Khan loved his daughter very much, but Ye Tianli's words gave the Turk a face, and he couldn't say anything more, he smiled.
At this moment, he saw a fast horse galloping from far away. When he came closer, the people on the horse flew down and handed a six hundred li express express to the hands of an imperial guard, who quickly stepped forward to present it to the Emperor.
The emperor stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that it was the intelligence of the army ahead, and gave it to Ye Tianzhan: "Look at what you said.
Ye Tianzhan dismantled the letter, read it again, and replied: "Father, the Western Turks promised to retreat, become a minister, and make a tribute. After the four emperors rest, they will leave for Beijing and arrive in Tiandu soon."
The clouds broke through the sky, and the sun gradually dissipated the rain throughout the day, shining on the grassy wilderness. Thousands of golden light penetrates the clouds and outlines a glorious horizon with shocking light. The emperor's gaze flicked from Shiluo Khan to the far end of the wilderness, and smiled with satisfaction: "Very well, this time I will personally reward the three armies at Shenwumen."
Shiluo Khan and the West Turkic Shooting and Protecting Khan forged countless grudges for the battle for the Mobei royal court. At this time, regardless of whether they sincerely return to the heavens, they are also willing to watch the Western Turks defeated, and laughed: "Congratulations to your majesty army for victory towards."
Ye Tianzhan took the opportunity to say to the Emperor of Heaven: "Father, the Khan and the princess must be tired too, so it's better to go back to the palace and rest, and there is a banquet in the Palace of Brightness."
The emperor nodded and said: "Get up and drive the Chengming Hall." Before he went to Qing Chen, he glanced at Qing Chen's place, and Qing Chen quietly cast his eyes down to see him off.
