Northern Qi, the greatest enemy of Nanliang, was originally a nomadic people. No matter the royal family or the common people, they were good at riding and shooting. They grazed, fished and hunted on weekdays, and assembled into an army in wartime. They would soon form a force that cannot be ignored.

Nanliang has a prosperous agriculture and animal husbandry. Although its combat power is insufficient compared with it, the long-standing confrontation between the two countries has allowed Nanliang to figure out a set of countermeasures.

Since the time of Tai | Zu, Nanliang has selected the best soldiers from all over the world to gather the confidants of the country, stationed in the imperial city to defend the royal family on weekdays, and wear armor and hold a halberd to fight against one side in wartime.

Since these elite soldiers are the foundation of Nanliang'an's side, they must be led by someone trusted by the emperor, and this person is usually the current prince.

Therefore, every prince in Nanliang needs to master riding, shooting and swordsmanship when he is young. If there is any emergency, he can lead the army to fight on the battlefield and keep Nanliang peaceful.

Riding and shooting, based on riding.

Because it was the first time to get in touch with horses, accidents were inevitable, so the riding instructor only found a few underage and relatively docile horses to let the princes get acquainted with them.

But the ones that can be used by the princes for practice are of course not ordinary. Even though the horses they found are still young, they are all fat, strong and smooth.Most of their fathers were war horses who fought on the battlefield, not to mention some of them were very spiritual. If they really believed in their masters and won the battlefield in the future, they would have a better chance of winning.

Martial arts were banned in the imperial city, and Gao Yu rode in a carriage a few times when he went out, but those were all tall horses carrying loads, which were naturally much inferior to war horses.

It was the first time that I saw a pony that was about the same height as myself. The princes were all very novel. As soon as the horse was pulled out, they rushed over, looking left and right, it was not unusual.

Lou Chen followed behind Gao Xian slowly, looking at Prince Jing's son who was calm and not in the slightest sense of curiosity, he thought for a while.

King Jing's soldiers and horses have to fight for the world, so his son will naturally not be an ordinary person. He has been able to get a glimpse of it in the basic class a few days ago, and his riding and archery skills will not disappoint him.

Sure enough, before all the princes had chosen their horses, Gao Xian had already taken his fancy on a maroon pony that was grazing again.

Lou Chen took the order to lead the horse from the groom, thinking that the child with a high temperament must be impatient to try the horse.But he didn't want to lead the horse to him. Gao Xian was not in a hurry to get on the horse. Instead, he sized Lou Chen up, blinked his eyes, and asked curiously, "Lou Zhijian, do you know how to 'route a horse'?"

Seeing his expression, Lou Chen knew what he was planning, but as a "sword holder", how could he not follow?Suppressing the wry smile in his heart, Lou Chen honestly replied: "I know a thing or two."

The two of them didn't deliberately lower their voices, as they drifted along the wind on the empty racecourse, they entered the ears of others.

After hearing Lou Chen's answer, the third prince looked over curiously: "I heard that General Lou once led [-] cavalry to break through the Northern Qi camp. "

"It's just a superficial learning." Lou Chen said modestly, "My father's demeanor back then, Lou Chen was not as good as three points, let alone talk about the true biography, ashamed."

"That's amazing too. General Lou fought against the enemy hundreds of miles back then, so he must be much better than those who can only talk about it on paper." Seeing the third prince talking with Lou Chen, the little follower The same fourth prince also followed over, "Since Lou Zhijian is so powerful, why don't you choose a horse for me."

Among the several princes, the fourth prince is the youngest, and he speaks without any scruples on weekdays.

But the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. As soon as he said this, the other princes also looked over.

Lou Chen secretly sighed when he saw this, he didn't want to attract so much attention, but unfortunately things backfired, from the very beginning of the sword competition, he seemed to be a natural spotlight.Efforts to back down are more noticeable, and the result of each time is just to make others pay more attention to him. Perhaps this is the price of rebirth.

After thinking about it to no avail, Lou Chen had no choice but to comply with the fourth prince's request.After temporarily handing over the reins in his hand to the groom, he walked forward and selected the most docile pony among them, and handed it to the Fourth Prince to "hold the sword".

The little pony is not tall and just suitable for the fourth prince who is the shortest in stature. Seeing that the horse has been selected, he hops over and follows, looking at it while nodding, thanking him, and happily taking it away .

"Lou Zhijian is really good at controlling horses. Among these horses, the one with the best temper has been discovered by you." Gao Xian praised without hesitation, and the third prince on the side also nodded in agreement.

"It's just a coincidence that Xie Shizi praised you." Lou Chen didn't want to add any more details, so he took the horse that Gao Xian had selected earlier and asked, "Does His Royal Highness need to try the horse?"

"Yes!" Gao Xian said, rubbing his chubby stomach, "But I have eaten too much lunch today, and I still feel a little tired. I'm afraid I'll leave the matter of horse testing to Lou Zhijian."

How can there be no reason for the son to disobey the order?

Lou Chen put his index finger and middle finger on his lips, and blew lightly, and a clear horse whistle sounded.The pony, who was grazing as if no one was around, raised its head when it heard the sound, neighed in response, and raised its front hooves, looking like it was ready to run wildly.

The groom who was leading the horse was startled, the reins were so tight that he almost let go.

This commotion was not small, the eldest prince who was quite disdainful just now also looked over, and the riding instructor even used light skills, and he was in front of Lou Chen in the blink of an eye.

"It's all right." Gao Xian waved his hands, looking indifferent, "Let the teacher worry, I'm just trying the horse, don't panic, don't panic."

Hearing the words, the riding instructor put away his heart that was raised to the throat, looked at the horse that Lou Chen was holding, and asked in surprise: "This is the horse His Royal Highness wants?"

"I didn't choose this horse for myself." Gao Xian shook his head, and then shouted, "Second Brother, come over and have a look, Lou Zhijian has chosen a very powerful horse for you son."

Gao Yu, who was wandering between the two horses, paused for a moment, then walked over with some doubts: "Choose for me?"

"Yes, Second Brother." Gao Xian leaned forward, "Lou Zhijian chose it himself, do you like it?"

Seeing that the topic turned to himself, Lou Chen had no choice but to follow Gao Xian's introduction: "Your Highness, although this horse looks docile, it has a full temper. I am afraid it has the blood of Northern Xinjiang horses. This kind of horse is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. I will definitely not lose to those orthodox hard-earned horses."

The riding instructor also nodded when he heard the words, saying: "Lou Zhijian really has eyesight, this horse does have the blood of northern Xinjiang's bloody BMW. Its father is a red-maned horse that was just brought back from northern Xinjiang the year before last, and it was wild when it came. But now it's domesticated."

"Right, right, I said this horse is the most suitable for the second emperor." Hearing the equestrian instructor's words, Gao Xian was extremely proud, blinking his eyes, as if begging for praise.

The appearance is pure and the inside is full of bad water. The glutinous rice balls with sesame filling are the most suitable for you!

Gao Yu couldn't help but slander, but he really couldn't lose his temper when facing the innocent Prince Jing's son.Simply because the horse was really good, he accepted the gift as a kindness.

In order to express his gratitude, he even went forward to pick up the horse himself. Lou Chen's hand came into his sight at this moment.

It was a pair of hands of a young boy, the joints were not as rough as those of an adult man, but they were also very clear.The fingertips are slender and the tiger's mouth is slightly calloused, just like Lou Chen's whole person, clean and tidy.

Gao Yu suddenly thought of such hands, standing on the ring with a sword, standing upright and knocking back the opponent.

Thinking of this, Gao Yu's eyes couldn't help but drifted to Lou Chen's shoulder, which was covered by his clothes, so he couldn't see what was going on inside.He couldn't help but wonder if Lou Chen's injury was completely healed, did he pull the wound when he was leading the horse just now?

But he didn't want him to say it, but Lou Chen seemed to see what he was thinking in his heart.Shaking his head lightly, he whispered: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty is fine now."

Who cares about you anymore!

Gao Yu, whose thoughts were debunked, ordered "holding the sword" to take over the reins from Lou Chen, and just said "Thank you." He turned and left.

Lou Chen looked at Gao Yu who was a little bit annoyed, and silently raised the corners of his mouth.

But if the horse is given to Gao Yu, what will Gao Xian do?

Just when Lou Chen wanted to choose a suitable horse for Gao Xian, Gao Xian had already found his favorite horse, and he took a black and brown horse out of it and smiled at Lou Chen.

Lou Chen looked at His Royal Highness who looked up at his eldest son with pride, and couldn't help shaking his head.Sure enough, it is a ghost. The horse Gao Xian led was bred by a wild horse. Although this kind of horse has been domesticated, it looks like an ordinary horse, but its wildness has not been eliminated at its root, and its offspring will also be affected by it.

Gao Xian chose this horse because he had confidence in his riding skills.

He was so familiar with horses, and presumably had been in contact with many war horses, he really couldn't underestimate this Prince Jing's son.

After choosing the horses, the princes began to try the horses accompanied by "holding the sword" and equestrian instructors.

Finally freed from the boring basic skills practice, the princes are like runaway horses, running around like wild horses, thanks to their own "swords" riding behind them, or if they really let a few The prince rode his horse at will, something must happen.

Looking at the galloping horses, Lou Chen's thoughts drifted away like silk. He can recall too many past and future lives, but at this moment, only the vast and boundless grasslands are frozen in his mind.

On the grassland, there were two figures running wildly on horses. They rode their horses together under the moonlight and galloped together. They were him and Gao Yu, who had just turned ten years old.

At that time, the accident had not yet happened, although Gao Yu was occasionally dissatisfied, the relationship between the two was still harmonious.

The Holy Majesty took all the princes to the "Mulan Paddock①" on Hebei East Road for autumn. It happened that the state herdsmen presented several bloody horses as a tribute.

After Gao Yu was overjoyed, he took him with him in the dead of night and sneaked out of the camp that night.

They galloped wildly in the paddock, how cheerful and unrestrained they were.

It's a pity that times have changed, and when they had the opportunity to ride a horse together again, it was already a long time ago.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from a distance.

As soon as Lou Chen came back to his senses, he saw that Gao Yu's pony, which was pacing slowly, seemed to be stimulated, suddenly raised its front hooves, and then ran wildly.

The author has something to say: Thank you for the mines of Jiumu and Vegetable Girl, and each of them will give away a meme! ! ! ~

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

①Mulan Paddock is a royal paddock in the Qing Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the royal family didn’t really like hunting. Here we borrow the settings from the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, hunting is usually in autumn, and animals reproduce in spring.

Well, the eldest prince is going to commit another crime, haha

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Gao Yu: The horse that Ah Chen chose for me, Ah Chen chose! ! !

Gao Xian: Actually, I chose...

Gao Yu: I won't listen, I won't listen, you won't listen to anything you say, I only know that Ah Chen gave me the horse, and Ah Chen really loves me! ! !

Lou Chen: Your Highness, the royal demeanor...
