Chapter 215
Chapter 215
Following the Supreme Emperor's order, Daiyu saw ten teenagers walking out on both sides of the rostrum from a distance, her elder brother was the first on the right, and Qi Tianyou was the first on the left.Daiyu secretly thought, it seems that it is true as Sister Yang said, brother is the captain of the Wind Team, and Brother Tianyou is the captain of the Moon Team.
Daiyu was thinking wildly when she heard the Supreme Emperor say: "I heard that the Empress originally planned to compete for five rounds, and the final winner will have a martial arts competition, right?" , but because the distance was too far, the sound did not come over.There was a commotion from all around, presumably other people were curious about what the empress had said.
Only Hong Zhendi said: "She is just playing for fun, the emperor decides to do it!" The Supreme Emperor laughed: "If so, I will change this rule. Today our martial arts competition will be two out of three rounds."
After finishing speaking, the Supreme Emperor waved his hand, and an eunuch next to him loudly read out the rules of the competition. After listening for a long time, Daiyu realized that in today's competition, the Supreme Emperor wanted to break the limit of two teams and make a big selection.The selection is divided into two rounds, and five people are selected in each round. In the end, these ten people will draw lots to compete against their opponents, and they will face each other until the final victory.
He also heard Emperor Hongzhen laugh and say: "It sounds interesting, I wonder how the father will arrange it?" The Supreme Emperor laughed and said: "Although our Daqi does not rule the country with martial arts, we must never lose the kung fu of fighting on horseback. Next. Today's martial arts competition is related to horses. I got a batch of good Mongolian horses a few days ago. These horses are all fierce-tempered, and no one can tame them after sending them for many days. Today's first selection is Start with the horses."
As soon as the Taishanghuang's words fell, there was a burst of discussion from the stands.Li Lan'er also said to Daiyu through the curtain: "Training horses? This is too difficult, isn't there any of these people who have specially learned how to train horses? What does Sister Lin think?"
Daiyu hummed, and was also full of worry: "Yes, I don't know if those fierce horses are scary?" She was talking.Seeing that the imperial guards had fenced off a large area of the field, Daiyu saw that there were spikes on those fences, presumably to prevent horses from rushing into the crowd, but could the fence really block a good horse? ?Daiyu couldn't help feeling deeply puzzled.
"Look, sister Lin, these horses are so beautiful!" Li Lan'er's words startled Daiyu, and she looked towards the arena.Seeing that there were already five fine horses on the field, two white, two red and one black, Daiyu couldn't see the advantages of these horses, but Li Lan'er said with great interest: "These five horses are probably from the Western Regions." Sister Lin, you can see that they have slender heads, tall necks, and slender limbs, which are the typical characteristics of BMWs."
Although Daiyu didn't know the horse, she still knew some allusions.She couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Isn't it said that this hard-earned BMW has been lost? How could it still appear?" Li Lan'er smiled and said: "I also think that among boudoir girls like us, I am the only one who loves to study horses. It turns out that sister Lin is also involved!" Daiyu was a little guilty when Li Lan'er said this: "I'm not doing research, but I just read a few allusions."
Li Lan'er said: "That's very rare, and I will have the opportunity to have a close relationship with my sister in the future. Shall I teach you how to ride a horse?" Daiyu looked at Li Lan'er in surprise, she didn't expect that this lady from the family could ride a horse, and said: "Then I will really have to trouble Sister Li." Lin Lan'er laughed, and Xiang Yun also laughed behind him: "I want to join in the fun, Sister Lin is not allowed to leave me!" Obviously Li Lan'er and Xiangyun's relationship The temper is more cast, after a few words.Even made an appointment.When I arrived, I forgot to mention the lost BMW.
Daiyu didn't ask any more questions, the match on the field had already started, and everyone's attention was drawn into it.The first person to recommend himself to train a horse was the champion Lang An Xiuyuan.Prince Wen's second son, Qi Tianrui, said with a smile: "Brother An enters the horse herd alone, and you will suffer a disadvantage. I will come with Brother An!" After saying that, he and An Xiuyuan laughed together: "Good job, go. I'm waiting for you good news."
An Xiuyuan and Qi Tianrui rushed into the field at the same time, and the five horses were indeed excellent breeds.Surprised that someone was approaching, they trot slowly, alert to the surrounding situation.An Xiuyuan and Qi Tianrui didn't immediately rush forward to subdue the flatterer, but quietly stood aside and observed carefully.
Daiyu looked at An Xiuyuan in the field, and suddenly remembered the pamphlet that Nanny Song had given her. It seemed that she hadn't noticed this person at all when she went to Qingxu Temple last time. I can't even remember what was written in that booklet.
Li Lan'er smiled from the side: "My father said that the last imperial examination was very strange. It was obviously for writing articles to determine excellence, but the ones selected were all masters of martial arts." Brother Tianyou, who is also better at martial arts than literary talent, couldn't help laughing.
Just as Daiyu was about to speak, she was distracted by Xiangyun's exclamation. In just a short while, the situation on the field has changed.Those five steeds clearly knew the advantages of group fighting, but they had already trapped An Xiuyuan and Qi Tianrui in the middle with just a few runs.An Xiuyuan was the first to act, and flew lightly onto a red horse, and wanted to ride on it, but the horse ran forward extremely fast, An Xiuyuan missed and fell to the ground.The other horses also ran quickly, some of them even stomped towards Anxiu, Daiyu couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this moment, Qi Tianrui didn't focus on taming the horses, but quickly pulled An Xiu away, and flew to stand on the railing.Although the fence was narrow, the two stood on it as if they were level ground.The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "Don't underestimate my horses, they are all god horses, and each one is one out of ten thousand."
As soon as the Taishanghuang's words fell, Qi Tianrui flew into the horse herd, and everyone saw him disappear in a flash, and couldn't help applauding.An Xiuyuan also entered the game, but he was obviously a little cowardly. He failed several times when he got on the horse, and was almost trampled on.In the end, he gave up and went over the fence.
Daiyu shook her head slightly, Li Lan'er also said beside him: "It's too easy for this man to give up." Xiangyun said: "After all, he is not a general, so he is not comparable to a general who has fought on the battlefield. "
"Sister Lin, look quickly, Cousin Lin has entered the stage!" Xiangyun shouted, and Daiyu couldn't help standing up, covering her chest with her hands, looking nervously towards the stage, feeling her heart was about to jump out.
As soon as Lin Haorui came on stage, all five stands cheered.It seems that Lin Haorui is looking forward to it.The Supreme Emperor laughed even more, and said in the direction of Qingmutai: "Second brother, today I will take a good look at your apprentice's kung fu, and see how much he has gained from your true inheritance!"
I only heard an old voice: "It's just some small tricks, not elegant, so that the Supreme Emperor will make a joke!" Daiyu couldn't see the situation of Qingmutai, and important people like Zen Master Huijing were arranged in the place. Aoki is on stage.
Daiyu was looking at her brother intently at this time, and she saw that her brother did not rush directly towards the horse, but stood on the railing like Qi Tianrui, watching the galloping horses.At this time the horse has been alarmed.Can't stop running around in the field.
Suddenly, Lin Haorui's figure moved, and he jumped to the side of the black horse like lightning, and ran at the speed of a black horse.Everyone saw him wearing the silver-gray robe of the Janissaries.He followed the black horse and kept leaping, looking extremely elegant, and couldn't help but applaud.
At this time, another figure appeared in the field, it was the third prince Qi Tianyou.He also followed Lin Haorui's example and ran alongside a horse.But the only difference is that he seems to be holding a rope in his hand.
Lin Haorui smiled and said: "God You, you are fouling!" Qi Tianyou ignored him, suddenly reached out and grabbed the white horse's mane, and the white horse was taken aback.Run faster.Qi Tianyou held onto his mane hair tightly and didn't let it fall off.
Lin Haorui also saw the right moment at this time, flew onto the horse, and hugged the horse's neck tightly.The black horse reared up.With a long hiss, he shook his body vigorously, trying to shake Lin Haorui off.
Seeing that the black horse had already been ridden by others, the other horses rushed over at the same time, and some of their front legs immediately staged a demonstration.Others ran around directly to interfere with Lin Haorui.Qi Tianyou also got on the horse at this time, and the rope in his hand was spinning.Throwing it to Lin Haorui: "Hold on, these horses must be tamed together, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed."
Lin Haorui clamped the horse's back tightly with his legs, grabbed the horse's mane with one hand, and grabbed the rope with the other.Qi Tianyou pulled the other end of the rope in the same way, followed the horse up and down, trying to pull the horse under him to pull the rope away, and put the five horses together in a circle with Lin Haorui's.
Qi Tianrui tried his best to get on the horse several times, but he couldn't get on the horse, so he could only stand on the railing and watch.Although he didn't explicitly say that he would withdraw from the competition, everyone already knew that he had no intention of re-competing.
The Supreme Emperor was a little proud, and cursed angrily: "These two brats, it is impossible to tame these horses just by the two of them." The emperor said: "These horses are too fierce, how can the two of them do anything. After finishing speaking, he shouted at the other people who participated in the competition: "What are you all looking at? They all abstained!"
Originally, some of these contestants wanted to go in and have a try, but judging from what Lin Haorui and Qi Tianyou meant, they were obviously not far from success. They were afraid that going in at this time would be said to be a bargain, so they didn't dare to act for a while.The emperor's roar happened to give them an excuse, and at the same time, three people rushed into the venue.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them rushed in, the horse that was already about to be controlled by Lin Haorui and Qi Tianyou became even more excited.In an instant, the situation on the court was reversed, Qi Tianyou fell from his horse unsteadily, and fell under the horse's feet together with the rope.
Daiyu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Tianyou, be careful!" The people nearby were also watching the competition in the arena attentively, and no one noticed Daiyu's shout.I saw that Qi Tianyou didn't even get up, and rolled a few times when he hit the ground.But those horses obviously didn't intend to let him go like this, and even chased him and stepped over.
Seeing that the horse's hoof almost stepped on Tianyou several times, everyone cried out in surprise.In the stands, Emperor Hong Zhen stood up in panic, and ordered the guards around him: "Once something is wrong, shoot the horse immediately!"
"Yes." The guard replied and ran down quickly.After a while, the ten archers were ready, and the arrows were on the strings, waiting for the emperor's order.Daiyu tightly clutched the token in her hand, her palms were covered with cold sweat, she couldn't help urging in a low voice: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Unexpectedly, although Qi Tianyou hid in a panic, he still had the time to shout: "Don't shoot the arrow!" He shot at the rear of a white horse. Although he missed the shot, it made the horse even more crazy.
Lin Haorui also dismounted at this time, and shuttled among the madly galloping horses.It was said that horseshoes hurt people, but relying on his skill and courage, he managed to rush to Qi Tianyou's side and dragged him up.
Because of this, Qi Tianyou escaped from danger, but saw that the black horse that Lin Haorui had trained stood upright, so he stepped on Lin Haorui.In desperation, he yelled: "Get out of the way!" Lin Haorui slid to the right without looking back, while Qi Tianyou flew up and stepped on the black horse's back.Standing on the railing again.After Lin Haorui was out of danger, he also returned to the railing, and the three people who rushed in just now had already left the circle.Out of the game.
Daiyu was frightened into a cold sweat, and could not help but chant a Buddha at this time.Li Lan'er's voice trembled slightly, and she said, "These two are really brave, they really are dragons and phoenixes among men."
At this time, the horses in the arena were already in a state of madness, and some even crashed into the railing next to them.After being stabbed, he became even more angry and restless, which made people frightened.Emperor Hongzhen had already sat down at this time, and smiled at the Supreme Emperor: "Father's question is a bit difficult, I'm afraid these children will be trapped here today."
The Taishanghuang was not in a hurry at all, and said leisurely: "You underestimate these children too much, you can't even tame a few horses. How can you become the pillar of my Daqi." Hong Zhendi glanced at the Taishanghuang, a little bit embarrassed Don't know what your father is thinking.
At this moment, five more contestants climbed onto the railing.Among them are Sun Xuewu and Yang Chengping.Sun Xuewu's kung fu was obviously not as good as Lin Haorui and Qi Tianyou's, and he didn't intend to force it, but took out something from his bosom.
Daiyu also couldn't help being curious, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the flute.Li Lan'er applauded: "This is a method, it may succeed in one fell swoop!" Chan Master Huijing's voice came out: "Tame the horse with the sound of the flute. This method was used by the ancients, and it is also a method at this time! "
The Emperor Taishang said: "I see, but it's not entirely true. I'm afraid these horses won't listen to the sound of his flute!" As soon as the Emperor Taishang finished speaking, the sound of Sun Xuewu's flute came to mind. startled.
It's a pity that the horse didn't seem to be affected by the sound of the flute, and kept running around.No, it can't be said that I don't accept it at all. The running speed seems to have slowed down, and there are no more horses bumping into the railings, and the mood seems to be much more stable.
The people on the field seemed to have discovered this difference at the same time, two people rushed into the field quickly, and saw that the horses that had just calmed down a little bit immediately became restless again, Sun Xuewu hated secretly, but the sound of the flute did not dare to stop.After a while, five more contestants left the field.In a blink of an eye, there were only ten people left in the competition, but none of the horses had been tamed.
Everyone couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts, this Taishanghuang's shot is really extraordinary, and it will give these self-righteous young generals a blow in the head.
After another incense stick of time, Sun Xuewu's flute sound completely lost its effect on the horses, and he asked himself that he was not capable of taming the horses, and he did not want to be that number and withdrew from the arena.Emperor Hongzhen smiled at the Supreme Emperor: "If this goes on, I'm afraid there will be no more competition in the second selection."
The Supreme Emperor laughed: "Isn't that simple? Your Majesty doesn't need to pity them too much. This little horse can make them difficult. When we go to the battlefield tomorrow, we need to snatch the enemy's horse for emergency use. How can we tame them?" .I'm just telling them how to become a qualified general!"
Emperor Hongzhen smiled and said: "Father really has a good intention, my son has been educated!" The Supreme Emperor said loudly: "It depends on what to do, taming these five horses is what you should think about now. Don't take chances, If these five horses are not tamed, the second selection will be canceled automatically."
The Taishanghuang's words made those who were lucky enough to enter the second round also bite the bullet and go to train the horse.At this time, only Che Chen, Ao Jian and Jia Lian remained in their positions.The Supreme Emperor laughed and scolded: "The three of you are really calm!"
Che Chen said: "Grandpa, don't be angry, we are just observing, God bless them on the railing, we are on the ground, there is no difference!" The Supreme Emperor laughed and scolded: "Across a high railing, what can you see? , strong words!"
Chechen chuckled: "I see that the two boys, Tianyou and Haorui, are about to act again!" As soon as Chechen finished speaking, Tianyou quickly rushed to the left side of the field, while Hao Rui rushed to the right side .Jia Lian also climbed up the railing at this time, but he didn't end up. He just walked along the railing. The railing was only a narrow one, but he seemed to be walking on a flat road, looking extremely relaxed.
In the arena, Qi Tianyou and Lin Haorui quickly circled around the outside, while the five horses stood scatteredly in the middle of the circle they circled, turning around constantly, watching the two men covetously.
Jia Lian suddenly said: "Among the five horses, the white horse with a red spot on its left ear is the leader, and it has always remained in the middle of the five horses." Lin Haorui and Qi Tianyou shouted at the same time: "Look!"
Daiyu was concentrating on finding the horse with red spots on its ears, when Li Lan'er suddenly shouted: "I know, they are going to fight together!"
