Yulin Garden is located at the junction of Baolu Mountain and Tiandu. It has been a hunting place for Tianjia and official clan officials in all dynasties. Its gardens span Tiandu, Lianzhi, Lan'an, Hegu, and Huailuan, with a length of more than 400 miles. Among them, the six rivers of Ba, Feng, Si, Yi, Hao, and Lang converge, and the beautiful scenery of Jushan Lake is picturesque. There are eight main halls, seventeen palaces, twenty-four temples, and thirty-nine gardens all over the place, which are magnificent and ingenious.
Emperor Renzong of the Celestial Dynasty was obsessed with the art of immortality. When he was in power, because of the excellent geomantic omen of Baolu Mountain, he used 100,000 people to move mountains and pile up soil to connect Yulin Garden to build Xuansheng Palace. It took 13 years to complete.
The structure of Xuansheng Palace is exquisite and beautiful. The sky tower in front of it is nearly 20 feet high. There is a golden phoenix spreading its wings and standing against the wind. The Terrace of the Gods rises from the ground, and there is a fairy holding a jade plate to bear the clouds and receive the dew. Such as Jiuxiao Wonderland. Although today's emperor is not interested in alchemy and seeking immortality, after he ascended the throne, he designated this place as a place for the royal family to sacrifice to heaven, gradually expanded the palace, and lived here for a period of time every year.
Xiyuan paddock goes deep into the mountains to raise hundreds of animals, forming a hunting garden that can accommodate thousands of riders. Qingchen and Yetian rode their horses into it, and the sight suddenly opened up. The rain is smearing the earth, and the jungle and mountains are undulating and spreading, which seems to be connected with the distant sky, which is vast and continuous.
Qing Chen flicked the horsewhip back into his hand. She was very upset when she came riding from Tiandu just now. The BMW "chasing the night" under Ye Tianli's seat was very handsome, and she always won the upper hand in several competitions along the way. She saw Ye Tian Li smiled triumphantly, and said unwillingly: "If it wasn't for Ma Hao, why would you be so arrogant!"
Ye Tianli pointed to the horse farms with a radius of hundreds of miles and said, "There are countless good horses here, just go and choose, and we will compare after you have chosen."
Qing Chen looked around, there were indeed quite a few horses, but he didn't see a favorite one, Ye Tianli followed beside him and said with a smile: "This selection method is like choosing a son-in-law, if you see similar horses, don't bother Forgot to ask about the origin of the family."
Qing Chen glared at him: "You must be lucky when choosing a horse, don't you know?" Before he finished speaking, a herd of horses came galloping not far away, and the first horse was as frosty and long-haired as the wind, like night, moon, and day The streamer of snow shadows galloped towards him from the oil-green field. As if galloping to the fullest, the riders led by the crown of the horse stopped slowly, and Yiyi's eyes were rebellious, looking this way full of arrogance. The people and horses stood looking at each other, Qing Chen's eyes sparkled: "That's the one!"
Ye Tianli looked in the direction she pointed, and said with a smile, "You can choose, but give up, no one dares to ride this 'Yun Cheng'."
"Why?" Qing Chen asked as he walked towards the horse.
Ye Tianli had no choice but to go with her: "Yuncheng, there is also a Fengchi horse that is a tribute from East Turkic. The horse is very aggressive and has injured many people, so it must be kept in the paddock, so you should not provoke it. "
At this time, when he came closer, Yun Cheng saw someone approaching, he dismissed him and walked away with long steps, the horses separated into groups amidst neighing, and dispersed separately. Qing Chen intuitively felt that Yuncheng's eyes were like someone's language, which seemed to convey many emotions, so she didn't chase after it, but just stood there and softly called: "Yuncheng..." The smile on her face was harmless and beautiful. Yun Cheng stopped and turned around, with a vigilant but interesting look in his eyes.
Ye Tianli smiled and saw that she was talking to the horse in a serious manner, it was rare to be patient today, so she stood under a nearby tree and waited. Unexpectedly, Qing Chen got close to Yun Cheng when he couldn't regain his senses, suddenly turned his head and smiled at him, blinked triumphantly, and jumped on the horse. Yun Cheng hissed suddenly, stood up almost in place, and then rushed forward like silver lightning.
"Qingchen!" Ye Tianli yelled in surprise, turned around and whistled to call for Zhuixiao, and quickly jumped on his horse to chase after him. Yun Cheng was an incomparable steed, and he had already rushed several feet away. Qing Chen obviously had difficulty controlling the speed of the horse, and he ran faster and faster one by one.
Ye Tianli knew very well that Yuncheng was very violent, and in the past few years, countless horse trainers had been killed or injured under its hooves. He was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat, and his subordinates beat their horses and chased after him, but Yuncheng was far ahead like Yufeng Tengyun, and always Put some distance away from him.
The accompanying guards also stepped forward to chase, and there was a sound of people neighing, and the birds and small animals in the field were urged to flee one after another, and the horses in the surrounding area were all galloping.
Qing Chen was also taken aback by Yun Cheng's speed at first, so he could only bend over the horse's back and try to maintain his balance. Fortunately, Yuncheng was just running wildly, and never flung around violently. She gradually sat down steadily, trying to match Yuncheng's rhythm, and after a while, she boldly flicked the rein, not only did not restrain him, but allowed Yuncheng to run as fast as he could.
Such people and horses tested each other and ran tens of miles away, but Yun Cheng's speed naturally slowed down, and Zhui Xiao rushed to the front in an instant, Ye Tianli shouted to Qing Chen: "Steady yourself!" Pulling his hand to the rein, Yun Cheng was going forward at a high speed, but at this moment he suddenly stopped on the spot, dodged all the chasing people a few steps away, turned around like a dragon wagging its tail, turned his head and shot backwards.
Ye Tianli turned around, took the lasso from the guard's hand, and circled towards Yuncheng with a flick of his wrist.
Yun Cheng dexterously rushed out sideways, but the rope suddenly fell through the air. The guards' shots were useless, but they were played around.
After following Qing Chen and Yun Cheng around a few times, Ye Tianli suddenly felt something was wrong. Take a closer look, Qing Chen's eyes are full of mischief, and his face is full of heartless smirks, where is there any trace of fear? Seeing her stable figure and agile horse riding around with the guards, he stopped the rein, laughing and angry at the same time.
Qing Chen caught a glimpse of Ye Tianli's expression and knew that he had seen through him, so he reined in his horse and turned around, and said with a smile: "Let's compare again, this time we will never lose to you." She stroked Yuncheng happily, and Yuncheng was like She turned her head and gave Ye Tianli a provocative look, and she vented her anger with her.
Ye Tianli was overwhelmed with surprise, but couldn't laugh or cry: "You want to scare me to death? If you do something wrong, it's no wonder Seventh Brother doesn't end up with me!"
Qing Chen pursed his lips and smiled, Ye Tianli glared at her fiercely, and then she looked back with her clear and innocent eyes, seeing that Yun Cheng's beautiful eyes also had a sly smile, he was really shocked, and there was I don't know how to vent my anger. In a romantic relationship between a man and a horse, Qing Chen actually met this desert horse at first sight, and he stepped forward to look at it in amazement.
Qing Chen looked at him with a smile, unexpectedly swung his whip towards Zhui Xiao's body, and Zhui Xiao raised his hooves and hissed angrily in surprise, "Start!" shoot out.
Ye Tianli raised his sword eyebrows, and followed closely behind with his horse. Young and heroic, with an angry horse like a dragon, the two ran happily in the paddock, dripping with joy. Yuncheng is indeed a good horse that has been rare for a century. Even though Zhuixiao is the best among horses, he still frequently falls behind it, and finally let Qing Chen regain his previous defeat.
He was galloping on Xingtou, when a group of people approached from a distance, it was Ye Tianzhan who brought two teams of inner court guards, Ye Tianli saw it and said: "Too bad, let Seventh Brother know that you tame Yuncheng, we can't do without it." To be reprimanded."
The white samurai suit sets off Ye Tianzhan's free and unrestrained figure. Even if he is galloping on a flying horse, he is still elegant and graceful, like a spring breeze passing through the moon, handsome and comfortable. He was a little surprised to see Qing Chen, Qing Chen and Ye Tianli got off the horse together, only to feel their legs were sore and tired, and they almost couldn't stand still after shaking.
Ye Tianzhan's expression changed slightly, he turned over and landed beside her, raised his hand to support her, and asked, "What's going on?"
Yun Cheng let go of the rein, and walked aside by himself, Qing Chen frowned and supported Ye Tianzhan's hands to move his legs. Although riding a horse does not require much physical strength, after all, it is still a bit overwhelming after all the tossing around with such a difficult horse. "The bones are about to fall apart." She muttered in a low voice, and Ye Tianli said, "Whoever told you to provoke Yuncheng, if you don't fall, you will die."
Qing Chen said with high spirits: "You still talk about Yun Chengye, but now it listens to me."
Ye Tianzhan glanced at the two of them, and Qing Chen dared not speak any more after being watched by him. Ye Tianli hurriedly asked with a smile: "Didn't Brother Seven come to accompany Shi Luo Khan of the Eastern Turks? Why did you come to Yulin Garden?" ?”
Ye Tianzhan said: "I don't know if you two are so bold if you don't come. Yun Cheng just fell to death a horse trainer last month, and you know that, how dare you let her ride!"
Ye Tianli pointed at Qing Chen: "Can I control her? I was almost killed by her just now."
Qing Chen quietly and happily looked at Ye Tianli's sad face, lowering his head and pretending to be cute. Maybe it was a coincidence, she didn't think Yun Cheng was very barbaric, at least she ran wildly just now but didn't throw her off the horse, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, Yun Cheng came here with a haughty hiss. Qing Chen reached out to touch its mane, took out a piece of pine nut candy, Yun Cheng licked it unceremoniously and put it in his mouth, and rubbed his nose against her palm by the way, allowing her to straighten out its slightly messy mane.
Ye Tianzhan was very surprised at Yun Cheng's affection for Qing Chen, and said, "Father Emperor and Shi Luo Khan came to the racecourse, and they are looking for Yun Cheng."
Ye Tianli looked over there, and could vaguely see the big yellow banner raised by the inner court guards, knowing that the Emperor of Heaven had come in person, and said, "Khan Shiluo looked for Yuncheng as soon as he came, but he wanted to see a joke about my Celestial Dynasty?"
However, it is said that the Turkic clan occupies Mobei. Although it was divided into two parts due to the struggle for the throne, they have been with the Central Plains since ancient times.
In the 19th year of Shengwu, the Eastern Turks frequently harassed the border, burned, killed, and looted. The Celestial Dynasty sent 200,000 troops to the north, and went all the way deep into the hinterland of Mobei to attack its capital. The Eastern Turks were defeated and surrendered. , Bringing two BMWs galloping like wind and clouds. It's called a tribute, but the desert horse is hard to tame, and even ordinary people can't touch it. If no one tames it in the sky, even if it has won countless battles on the battlefield, it will inevitably lose face.
What Shi Luo Khan did not expect was that in the past years, the two armies had been defeated by Ye Tianling, the fourth prince of the Heavenly Emperor in almost every battle. God please. Although Shi Luo Khan wished Ye Tianling fell to his death on the horse, he watched Feng Chi, the most tempered of the two horses, obediently bowed his head to him after a few rounds.
With an indifferent and cold expression, Ye Tianling, who rode the wind like a god, was like a lone peak of ice. After breaking through the city of Kanda with more than 10,000 people alone, he once again caused the Eastern Turks to return from the land of heaven.
Those star-cold and deep eyes, that kind of indifferent and dismissive gaze, like the indifferent cold light of a sharp sword, penetrated deeply into the eyes and hearts of Turkic people. After repeated defeats and repeated battles and repeated defeats, the Turkic army's face changed after hearing Ye Tianling's name, and they regarded Ye Tianling as a ghost, and detoured when they saw it.
But now Ye Tianling is not in Tiandu, and Feng Chi is following him on the battlefield ahead. Although Shi Luo Khan came to the court to show his sincerity of not cooperating with the Western Turks, it always seemed to have some ulterior motives.
Qing Chen probably heard the clues from the conversation between the two of them, turned his head and smiled at Ye Tianzhan: "Thanks to your care these days, how about the prestige that I will help you kill that Shi Luo Khan today?"
Ye Tianzhan's face was clear and shallow, but his eyes sank lightly: "Are you repaying your favor?"
Qing Chen smiled brightly: "No, I think you really don't look good when you have a straight face!" After saying that, he got on his horse and said, "Let's go!"
Ye Tianzhan was slightly taken aback, and Ye Tianli bowed his head next to Qing Chen and said in a very low voice: "Cough, it sounds like... the beauty Bo Qi smiled."
Qing Chen glared at him, almost wanting to give him a whip for his indecent smiling face, he laughed and urged his horse to avoid it. Out of the corner of Qing Chen's eyes, he saw Ye Tianzhan riding his horse leisurely, with a smile on his lips. The two people's eyes met, and the softness in his eyes was like the boundless green grass and drizzle that instantly surrounded her. in. She hurriedly lowered her eyes, urging Yuncheng to run a few steps, but inadvertently she also smiled comfortably.
The yellow flag is facing the wind in front, the guard of honor is dignified, two rows of inner court guards are lined up in armor, and the royal driver is already approaching. The Emperor of Heaven and a tall and mighty Turkic man with deep eyes, nose and tall stature each rode a steed, accompanied by Ye Tianming, and beside him was a foreign woman in fiery red riding attire, who was Princess Huyue, the jewel in Shiluo Khan's palm .
Seeing Yun Cheng being obedient and close to Qing Chen, the Emperor of Heaven was surprised in his deep eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just turned his head and chatted with Shi Luo Khan: "I haven't been to Yulin Garden for a long time, you see Yun Cheng is better than Turkic?" how?"
Shi Luo Khan laughed and said: "The high spirits seem to be better than before. The water and soil in the Central Plains are miraculous, which is really enviable."
That Princess Huyue was proud and hot with beautiful eyes, with a bit of straightforwardness that is rare for Central Plains girls. When she saw Qing Chen dismounted and saluted, she raised her voice and asked, "You are riding Yuncheng?"
Qing Chen smiled lightly and said, "It's Yun Cheng."
Princess Huyue raised her pretty eyebrows and pointed at the horsewhip: "I don't believe you can ride Yuncheng, do you dare to compete with me in riding skills?"
It was a matter of the state, Qing Chen didn't want to make his own claims, so he looked to the Emperor of Heaven and waited for instructions. Shi Luo Khan said to the Emperor of Heaven: "Your Majesty, why not let the young people go and have fun by themselves, and it will be lively if we watch from the sidelines."
The Emperor of Heaven didn't want to refute Shiluo Khan's face, but also wanted to see Qing Chen's riding skills, so he nodded in agreement.
Princess Huyue was allowed to leave her father on her horse, and said to Qing Chen, "I'll wait for you in front." up.
Ye Tianzhan frowned lightly, and said to the Heavenly Emperor: "Father, it's dangerous after all, don't hurt the princess, it's better for my son to accompany them so that I can take care of them."
The Emperor of Heaven said, "You brothers, go and have a look together."
Ye Tianzhan and the others approached and heard Qing Chen say to Princess Huyue, "Running alone is boring. How dare the princess compete with me on horseback jumping?"
Princess Huyue said: "Okay, this will be interesting!"
Ye Tianzhan glanced at Qing Chen immediately, and Qing Chen smiled at him. It was because Princess Huyue just said that running alone was no fun and she was thinking of tricks. Instead of waiting for her to ask some weird questions, it's better to strike first. She walked forward with the horse, and suddenly met Ye Tianming's different eyes, her heart skipped a beat unexpectedly, and she felt indescribably weird.
The guards set up the ten crossbars, and the two sides set the rules of the game. The two scored according to the number of arrows in the quiver. If the horse refused to jump or obeyed the command, two arrows would be put in, and one crossbar would be knocked off. For three arrows, the rider falls off the horse and puts in four arrows. The time is counted by beating one hundred drums quickly. After the one hundred drums are finished, if the ten bars have not been jumped, one more drum is put in one arrow. The quiver with fewer arrows is the winner.
The Emperor of Heaven and Shi Luo Khan moved to watch the battle and acted as referees by the way.
Princess Huyue and Qing Chen rode in front together, and with the sound of the drum, the two of them galloped out with two horses, and the snowy shadows in red clothes each won the field.
The sky had already stopped the rain, and a ray of sunshine came out from the clouds, thunder and drums sounded and flags fluttered on the pasture, and all the guards cheered in unison to cheer them on.
Yun Cheng rushed to the front of Princess Huyue in an instant, riding the wind and riding the clouds, leaping into the air like a flash of lightning and flying through the first shot, and went straight to the second shot, everyone who watched applauded in unison.
Qing Chen praised secretly, leaned over and urged the horse, and rushed forward.
Princess Huyue's horse behind her came to the pole and drew back her hooves fiercely, not daring to go forward, and was reprimanded by the master several times before jumping over the pole. As soon as it stopped, there were two more arrows in the quiver. A slight smile flickered across the corner of Qing Chen's mouth, riding the horse over the bar is not as simple as it seems, not to mention the thunderous drums all around, how can ordinary horses not be disturbed
Yun Cheng ran heartily, as fast as lightning and as fast as the wind, after a few strokes in a row, when he got to the sixth stroke, Qing Chen couldn't help but turn his head to look, seeing Princess Huyue was frightened The horse flicked violently, and fell off the horse. When she turned her head, Yun Cheng was jumping on the pole, and she was also bumped violently, she hastily tightened her hand and pulled the rein to maintain her balance.
A shadow of ink galloped past Princess Huyue, someone leaned over her on a horse and rescued her, and someone beside Qing Chen came in a flash, but they both came to help her at the same time.
She turned her head and saw that it was Ye Tianzhan and Ye Tianming riding close together, she subconsciously pulled the reins and gently backed away. The two people around looked at each other silently, one person's slender eyes flashed with light, the person who was as sharp as a razor trembled in shock, the other person's eyes were light, the clear light of the cold moon shining on the water flickered past, and the water rippled It was sunny and sunny.
Qing Chen hurriedly said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highnesses." Ye Tianzhan didn't answer, and the corners of his lips that were often smiling were pressed warmly and coldly. His expression was so indifferent that people secretly felt hairy, waiting to see that she was safe and sound, he said in a low voice : "Go and see the princess."
Ye Tianming stared at Qing Chen with squinted eyes, the charm in his eyes set off his beautiful face with a kind of temptation that was almost monstrous, Qing Chen hadn't recovered from Ye Tianzhan, how could he be in the mood to deal with him Looking back, he returned to his horse and followed to see Princess Hu Yue.
Princess Hu Yue sat on Zhui Xiao's back, her pretty face flushed, her silver teeth gritted secretly, Ye Tianli smiled carelessly, looked down at the beauty with an angry look, and raised her hand to help her. Princess Huyue stared at her beautifully, but still gave him her hand and jumped off the horse. When she got off the horse, she saw that she had nearly ten arrows in her quiver, but Qing Chen didn't have one, so she went back to Shiluo Khan in a muffled voice. around.
Winning or losing is already divided, but the Emperor of Heaven just laughed and didn't mention it. Khan Shiluo suffered from being dumb, and he loved his daughter dearly, so he didn't want to say anything in face, so he apologized with a smile.
But I saw a fast horse galloping in the distance, and the person on the horse flew down and handed an urgent express message of six hundred miles to a royal guard, who quickly stepped forward and presented it to the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor of Heaven took it with his hand, saw that it was information from the front army, and handed it to Ye Tianzhan: "Look at what your fourth brother said."
Ye Tianzhan removed the wax paint on the letter, read it again, and replied: "Father, the Western Turks have agreed to the conditions of retreating, becoming a minister, and paying tribute. After the fourth brother's army has rested, he will return to Beijing and arrive in Tiandu in a few days."
The clouds broke and the sky opened, and the sun gradually dissipated the rain all day long, and shone on the grass-colored wilderness. Thousands of golden lights penetrated the clouds in mid-air, and outlined a brilliant sky with shocking light. Flicking around, throwing it to the far end of the field, he smiled slowly in satisfaction, and said, "Very good, this time I will personally reward the three armies at Shenwumen."
Shiluo Khan and Western Turkic Shehu Khan fought for the royal court in Mobei and forged countless grievances. At this time, no matter whether he sincerely surrendered to the Celestial Dynasty or not, he was willing to watch the Western Turkic army lose.
Ye Tianzhan said to the Heavenly Emperor: "Father, the Princess and Khan must be tired from the quarrel for a long time, why don't you take a rest, there is a banquet in Mingcheng Hall."
The Emperor of Heaven nodded and said: "Let's drive to Xuansheng Palace." Before going to take a look at Qing Chen, Qing Chen quietly sent him off with lowered eyes.
