After listening to the emperor's words, Lord Qiu and General Qiu looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
—Could it be that the emperor knew about their deal with Prime Minister Pei
Qiu Anran's complexion was still not good, while Gu Qianxue gave King Li a hard look, then walked to the side of Jin Yanma, stood at the angle of the horse's head, stared at Jin Yan, her mind was running wildly. She was reminiscing, thinking about all the knowledge she had read in modern times, and immediately found the trick to taming horses.
That's right, apart from heresy tricks like tricks, Gu Qianxue knew that she had no chance of winning.
The prince walked quickly to the emperor, worried, "Father, if Aunt Huang's words are true, Princess Qianxue really doesn't know any riding skills, even if she is talented, horse training is not something that can be solved by cleverness. Ruo Qianxue The princess really made a mistake, even if Gu Shangshu didn't complain, but Marshal Zhao might be..."
The emperor took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "You're right, I didn't think carefully, but... let's go and see." Then, ignore it and focus on the two princesses.
The prince pondered, not knowing what the emperor meant, whether he was probing or probing, whether he was testing the Qiu family or King Li, or... him as the prince.
However, Qiu Anran first took a few deep breaths to get rid of distracting thoughts, and then suddenly opened his eyes, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes shining brightly, his petite body seemed to contain a huge amount of energy, and the aura around him could not be underestimated. Qiu Anran has always been capable, and the number one woman in riding and archery in Nanyue Kingdom is by no means in vain.
She walked towards the red flaming horse, and looked directly at the flaming horse. First of all, she had to suppress the horse in terms of momentum and not flinch.
Gu Qianxue also looked away from Jin Yanma and looked at Qiu Anran.
Although she didn't say it, she knew that the flaming horse Qiu Anran chose was more difficult to tame than the golden flame horse. If tamed well, the flame horse would be stronger than the golden flame horse. These are not nonsense, and horse hunting is also a science.
First, the horse's head should be high, the face should be thin, and the ears should be small. Urine in the ear means a small liver, and a horse with a small liver is more satisfactory; a horse with compact and short ears is more responsive.
Second, the nose is big. Nasal stool means that the lungs are large, and the lungs are the guarantee of lung capacity. Whether it is a human or a horse, the greater the lung capacity, the faster the speed and the longer the endurance.
Third, big eyes. Pooping eyes indicate a big heart, and a horse with a big heart is brave and not easy to be frightened; the flesh under the eyes is not plump, which is a sign of a fierce temperament. A fierce horse has advantages and disadvantages. Even more sturdy, it dares to run where ordinary horses dare not run, and what ordinary horses dare not do, it dares to do. A warrior descends a fierce horse, a scholar rides an old horse, a famous saying since ancient times.
The fourth is its limbs. The hooves should be as strong and steady as a stake. They look tall from a distance, but short when viewed up close. Such horses are most muscular and well-constructed. In general, a good horse should have red and bright lips, straight and protruding chest, well-developed pectoral muscles, large neck and skull with little flesh, thick, soft and neat mane on the top of the neck, and slightly sloping forward to the forehead .
Judging from these points, the flame horse is a BMW that is one in a million, and the reason why the golden flame horse has attracted the attention of the world is probably because of its shiny fur and golden meaning.
In terms of difficulty, the flame horse was even more difficult to tame, but Qiu Anran chose the flame because the golden flame horse was too precious.
Seeing Qiu Anran grabbing the reins, he jumped up and landed firmly on the back of Huo Huo's horse, Huo Huo naturally didn't want to, and started jumping wildly. But no matter how the flame jumped, or raised his front hoof high, or kicked his back hoof fiercely, Qiu Anran did not move, gritted his teeth, bent down, adjusted the angle and sat firmly on the horse's back.
In addition to superb equestrian skills, horse training requires endurance and perseverance.
In other words, horse training is a battle of perseverance between man and horse, and whoever persists to the end is the winner.
The flames neighed and shook the sky, and seeing that he couldn't get rid of the person on his body after tossing like this, he started to run wildly.
Everyone was sweating, and the generals applauded even more—Princess Anran is so handsome!
At this time, Qiu Anran was not as arrogant and frivolous as usual, his spirit was still high and his face was calm and composed. Seeing the flame horse galloping, he felt relieved, knowing that she had passed the first stage of horse training, and was ready for the second stage. stage.
At this stage, although you don't need as many skills as before, you can't let the horse run wild. Because let’s not say that the horse ran wild and trampled innocent passers-by, but if the horse really ran into the woods and other places, the rider would suffer the most. If the skills used in the previous stage belonged to the rough type, then this stage uses the meticulous type. While the horse is galloping, it is necessary to subtly change the running direction of the horse and let it gallop around the racetrack. Until the last trace of strength in the body is exhausted.
In this way, Qiu Anran steered the flame horse to run wildly on the running ground round and round.
Gu Qianxue withdrew her gaze and stared at Jin Yanma.
The eyes of Lord Qiu and General Qiu were full of pride, they had already expected Qiu Anran's performance, and turned their attention to Gu Qianxue.
They originally had a disagreement with Marshal Zhao, but now that Prime Minister Pei has some kind of deal, and Gu Qianxue's arrogant declaration of war, the two of them hate Gu Qianxue to death, wishing that the golden flame horse would fall to Gu Qianxue's death Qianxue is fine.
From the beginning to the end, King Li didn't look at Qiu Anran, his gaze was fixed on Gu Qianxue, his eyes were cold and expressionless, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart.
Same as King Li, the crown prince also kept staring at Gu Qianxue with a worried expression.
Under the signal of Prime Minister Pei, an official said, "Your Majesty, the flame horse is not an ordinary horse. It is too strong in stamina and physical strength. I am afraid that it will not be tamed in a short time. If it is really waited for Princess Anran to finish taming, I am afraid that it will be destroyed." It's too late, can Princess Qianxue also start taming horses to save time?"
The emperor frowned slightly, and then smiled at Gu Qianxue, "Girl Qianxue, horse taming is not something that can be learned overnight, and if you are a little careless, you may get hurt. If you can't tame it, forget it. With me, no one dares to tame it." embarrassing you."
Gu Qianxue suddenly realized, she was puzzled at first, why the emperor agreed so readily to let her and Qiu Anran have a horse training competition, but now it seems that the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to make her owe him a favor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, but Qianxue wants to try." Gu Qianxue said.
Even King Li hesitated, and the crown prince hesitated to speak. Gu Qianxue could tell, but how could the two shrewd people not know? It has not been blocked, but also for the emperor's intention.
The emperor was surprised, "Do you really want to train horses?"
Gu Qianxue nodded, "Back to the emperor, Qianxue really wants to tame the horse, but she needs some props."
