Looking at the mountains and rivers

Lie Feng chased after Yang Yan almost in an instant. The cloak around his neck was tied in a tight knot, and it was difficult to tear it off for a while.He was knocked to the ground with such a huge impact that it hurt so badly that it almost made him dizzy.After the strong wind knocked him down, he raised his front hooves high, and was about to step on his chest and abdomen. At this critical moment, he heard a loud shout, and a lasso flew from mid-air, and he put it on accurately. Its neck pulled it so hard that it turned around.

The man who caught him obviously used great strength. His boots stepped on the grass, and the iron spikes on the boots were deeply buried in the soil. Being driven by this crazy fierce horse, he dragged two legs forward. Plow marks.

Yang Yan's eyes were wide open, he couldn't see, and he wasn't sure what happened for a while, until someone stepped forward to help him, and asked comfortingly, "Fourth Young Master, are you alright?"

The voice was a little strange, and Yang Yan frowned, showing a puzzled look.

As if aware of his doubts, the man immediately said: "The humble job is Wei Changxuan's colleague, Chen Shao."

Yang Yan was a little surprised: "Chen Shao?"

Chen Shao explained: "Xiaozhi and Wei Changxuan were on duty in the southern suburbs. When they heard the horse neighing unusually, they came over to take a look. Who knows..." He raised his eyes to look at his former master Yang Jue with a strange look on his face. Yu.

After realizing who the person who saved him just now was, Yang Yan's face paled instantly. Hearing the thunderous neighing of horses on the racetrack, he asked in surprise, "Where's Wei Changxuan?"

Chen Shao was also awakened by the neighing of the horse at the same time. He raised his eyes to look in the middle of the racecourse, and saw his friend being dragged by the mad horse and about to fall down in the mud several times. His blood was cold, and he shouted loudly: "Wei Changxuan, let go, you will be dragged to death by it!"

However, Wei Changxuan's ears were filled with the sound of thunderous horse neighing and whistling wind. Where could he hear his words, and even if he heard them, it would not help the matter. Rush over and crush his skull.

Yang Yan took two blank steps in the direction of the voice, stopped again, and turned to face Yang Jue: "Third Brother," he whispered, "It's still too late for you to send someone to rescue him now."

Chen Shao, who was at the side, was very anxious, and when he heard this sentence suddenly, he felt strange in his heart. It didn't sound like a pleading tone, but rather a low-pitched tone like a warning before the two countries went to war.

However, Yang Jue obviously didn't take what the weak brother said to heart. He had just seen Yang Yan escape from danger, and he unconsciously showed hostility on his face. At this moment, he just sneered and said: "Fourth brother, I know he was originally you I don't care about the fact that he trespassed in front of me. But you don't know the situation on the field now. That horse is like a beast. I can't let my men go to death just because of his life alone. ,Yes or no?"

Chen Shao felt uneasy when he heard such words. He subconsciously looked at the fourth young master, but saw that the fourth young master had given up asking for help. No.

He was so anxious right now, he didn't care about the quarrel between the two brothers, he just grabbed another horse pole and was about to run to the field, but he was stopped by another person.

It was Yu Liang, the supervisor of the imperial horse, who stopped him. He said in a trembling voice: "Little general, don't be reckless. The horse is just showing a temper and acting wild. If there are too many people rushing to the front, I'm afraid it will be frightened and the consequences will be serious." It will be even more unimaginable!"

Chen Shao knew that he was a man who knew horses, and he didn't look like he was ordered by others to stop him, but he was still very annoyed. He threw away the pole and shouted: "Since you can't bring down this fierce horse, use a bow and arrow!"

Yu Liang was startled, and subconsciously went to get the bow and arrow, but he felt a little bit sorry for the rare horse in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, he had just turned around when he heard exclamations from the field, and he turned back in a panic. , but saw that the boy who was dragged by the strong wind jumped onto the horse's back with the strength he didn't know where he came from.

Liefeng had never been ridden before, so this shock was no small matter. It raised its head and neighed, jumped with all its strength, and wanted to throw the man on its back off like crazy.Wei Changxuan was tossed by it for a long time, obviously at the end of his strength, his hand was tightly clasped on one end of the harness pole, his nails had cracked during the desperate pulling, and his hands were covered with blood.

There was only a muffled sound of leather breaking, and the set of horse poles was completely broken. The moment he was thrown off, he grabbed Gaefeng's lion-like mane, and Chen Shao shouted behind him: "Wei Changxuan, go ahead!" !"

He struggled to catch the thing thrown by his friend with one hand. It was a heavy iron whip. At this moment, he didn't care about other things, and he whipped the horse's neck hard.The fierce storm jumped like thunder, it leaped into the air, and almost flew Wei Changxuan behind him, but Wei Changxuan was not frightened, he grabbed the horse's mane fiercely, and lashed its neck again Whip, who looked more angry than the horse, roared: "If you dare to hurt him, I will kill you!"

Chen Shao looked at the horse and that person in the distance, and saw Wei Changxuan frantically beating the fierce horse under his crotch with an iron whip, and kept drinking violently, he couldn't decide which one was more crazy.

Finally, Gale seemed to be exhausted, and it fell hoarsely.Wei Changxuan also rolled off its back, and lay limp on the muddy grass. His sweat almost soaked his armor, but his eyes were still looking at the thin figure outside the barrier in the distance.Seeing that person still standing there, he twitched weakly at the corner of his mouth, and then passed out.

Chen Shao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground, and was about to carry him on his back to see the military doctor in the camp, but he saw the horse supervisor looking at Wei Changxuan on his back like a dream: "I am in the 30 For many years, I have never seen such a scene like today, this young military master is so brave, it is really admirable."

Chen Shao snorted coldly from his nasal cavity: "Master Yu doesn't have to admire, as long as we don't care about our trespassing in the Royal Horse Garden."

Yu Liang was taken aback, and was about to speak with a smile, but saw a person rushing in from outside the garden, who seemed to be an attendant of Prince Mu's mansion, he looked flustered, rushed forward and knelt down at Yang Jue's feet: " My lord, Mr. Han has come and said he has something urgent to do, and he is waiting for you in the mansion now!"

Prince Mu's Mansion, Qing'an Hall.

The attendant opened the door early, and the person in the hall was wearing a black gown, and bowed slightly to Yang Jue who strode in: "My lord."

"Teacher." Yang Jue nodded slightly to him. When he rushed back from the southern suburbs, he kept muttering in his heart. Han Ping was sent to Yanyu a while ago, and he should return in ten days, so why did he return so soon? Jian'an.

"Is this envoy to Yanyu going well?" Yang Jue said pleasantly, "Please stay in the mansion tonight, I will hold a banquet to welcome the teacher."

Han Ping shook his head and smiled wryly: "How can I have such an elegant mood now, I just returned my life to the emperor today and went straight here. My lord, I really came back with my life this time as an envoy."

Yang Jue was stunned: "What happened? Could it be that Yan Yu's savages were rude to the teacher?"

"Rude?" Han Ping laughed again, "When I saw Khan Yanyu, someone was indeed rude, but it wasn't from Yanyu, but my deputy, Wang Yueshan!"

Yang Jue didn't understand why, so he looked at him blankly.

"That day Yanyu Khan hosted a banquet in honor of our Dazhao delegation, and called the Dayan family to accompany him. That Dayan family is a well-known beauty in Yanyu. I don't know if Wang Yueshan was drunk or something. Staring at Da Yanshi, and dancing with his arms around Da Yanshi in the end, Khan was so angry that he dropped his cup on the spot. If I hadn’t tried to persuade him in the middle, our heads would have been hanged in the golden tent that night gone outside."

Yang Jue was stunned by these words, and scolded: "Wang Yueshan, a vulgar martial artist, is really ridiculous, how could the emperor send him to Yanyu!"

Han Ping sneered again and again: "This is just one of them. The annual tributes we brought with us are far from enough. After counting the goods on the second day, Khan Yanyu became furious and arrested all the people in the mission. Fortunately, I was prepared, and I found an excuse to escape back to Anyang the night before, and notified the Anyang Jiedu Envoy Yu Chixian to take precautions."

Yang Jue had never heard of this famous trick, so he couldn't help asking: "What is the punishment of the pipa?"

Han Ping saw that he didn't ask about the situation of the two countries, but only asked about these trivial matters. He couldn't help but sighed in his heart, but he still replied: "The punishment of the pipa is to use a sharp knife to remove the lute bones and ribs from a person one by one. When the last bone is removed and the person is still alive, the feeling is that you can’t live without dying.”

Yang Jue listened to the foreign torture in a daze, and then thought of it: "So, this time, Yan Yu was really offended. They killed the envoy, didn't they intend to start a war?"

Han Ping nodded: "When I left Anyang, the Yanyu army was already gathering, and I think they will attack in a few days. The northwest border is already in danger." After he finished speaking, the topic changed, "I just heard that the prince today Went to the Royal Horse Garden, and brought the Fourth Young Master with you?"

Seeing that his tone suddenly became extremely cold, Yang Jue couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and said vaguely: "Yes, it's just to relax."

Han Ping raised his head, looked at him for a moment, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "With all due respect, brother Yang Dai succeeded King Mu for two years and eight months. Is it possible that the prince wants to do more than him?" Even shorter, if you continue to be so reckless and mischievous, I am afraid that you will only be on the throne for eight months."

Yang Jue's complexion changed drastically. If others dared to speak to him like this, he would have been furious. But the words came from Han Ping's mouth, so he couldn't help being startled.After all, it was Mr. Han who rescued him from the fate of being exiled and helped him regain the throne. This teacher's scheming skills were inherited from Prime Minister Wu Ya, and he almost never made mistakes in his judgment of the situation. He hurriedly asked, "Why did the teacher say that?"

"Hundreds of thousands of troops from Yanyu are suppressing the border, and the whole country must rely on Donghu's army to fight against the enemy. Now the only connection between Donghu and the royal family is Duke Tuoba's grandson—the fourth son." He paused, "I don't know what the prince is doing today. Take him to the Royal Horse Garden, but it must not be just to relax, if he is a blind person, if he is killed or injured under the horse's hooves, what do you think will happen after Duke Tuoba finds out about it?"

Seeing that Yang Jue showed hesitation, he sneered again: "With Duke Tuoba's temper, he directly opened the gates of Anyang, Hexi and other places, and it is unknown to invite the army of Yan and Yu to attack Jian'an from Hexi Road. Don't say this at that time. Wangfu, I am afraid that the emperor of Tai'an Palace will change hands, even if Huining and Pinghu can resist for a while, they will not last until the end of next spring. My lord, do you think this throne is only for eight months!"

Yang Jue was in a cold sweat at what he said, as if waking up from a dream, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Teacher, calm down! I was angry with my fourth brother in my heart, so I wanted to punish him a little bit. Who knew that something like this happened to Yanyu. "

Han Ping sighed, and changed his old address: "Third Young Master, you are now King Mu, and you should broaden your horizons. How can you just focus on anger and ruin the big thing. Although Fourth Young Master is helpless here, after all It is Duke Tuoba's only blood, even if you are at odds with him, you shouldn't be so reckless." He paused, then frowned slightly, "What is it that makes the prince want to kill?"

Yang Jue was silent for a moment, and then told what he knew in Zongzheng Mansion's prison. This matter is an old secret in the palace. Believe it?"

Mentioning this matter, Yang Jue's face became frightened and angry again: "I didn't believe it at first, but when I came back and checked the old year's account books, it was true that my father had privately printed and transferred two catties of aconitum. It has already been buried with him, these cannot be faked!"

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Mr. Dai didn't spit out these old things until now, because he deliberately wanted to mess up the palace, and the prince really fell for it." Han Ping said coldly, "This old man My eldest son, although I have never met him face to face, I really admire the fact that he almost charged the prince with flogging his brother and killing his brother with a few words. In my opinion, it is better for the prince to see him less in the future, even if you You can flog him and torture him, but as long as his tongue is still in his mouth, maybe you will fall into his hands."

Yang Jue was startled, thinking of his scheming elder brother, he ground his teeth unconsciously.

"By the way, was the Fourth Young Master injured in Yuma Garden today?" Han Ping asked casually.

"No, he was just startled. He was frightened and sent back to the South Courtyard."

"Oh?" Han Ping smiled, "Since the prince has made up his mind to kill him before, why didn't he hurt his life? Could it be that someone else saved him?"

"It was just two guards from the feather forest who tamed the frightened wild horse. One was my original companion, Chen Shao, and the other was my fourth brother's companion." Yang Jue's tone seemed disdainful, and after thinking about it, he asked again, "However, today It is indeed wrong, I will send some gifts to the fourth brother later, to comfort him, what does the teacher think?"

"In my humble opinion, if the prince comforts the fourth son, it seems that today's matter is done deliberately. It is better to send a thank you gift to the Habayashi guard. Since he saved the fourth son, then the fourth son will definitely accept it." Affection."

"Teacher is still thoughtful." Yang Jue nodded.
