Volume 1 Dragon Trapped Shoal Chapter 69 Purple Lion Cong

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhu Changluo has also heard of this horse called Zishi Cong. It is said that it was a tribute from Samarkand in the Western Region in the 20th year of Wanli. It is said to be a Dawan horse that can travel eight hundred times a day.  However, since he was not close to Zhu Yijun, he had only heard about it, but he didn't know which one it was.

    At this time, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but feel a little scared when he heard that Zhu Yijun actually asked someone to get the horse for him to ride.  He went to the grass farm more often, and became familiar with some people from Tengxiang Youwei, so he also heard those big men who spent all day with horses talking about this kind of BMW, which can be regarded as a thousand-mile horse.  We know that the more expensive a horse is, the more violent and arrogant it is, making it difficult for ordinary people to control it.

    Zhu Changluo murmured in his heart that he was not very confident that he would be able to hit the willow on horseback. The reason why he wanted to use this method was because he was forced into such a desperate situation.  Since you will lose no matter which gourd you choose, instead of being embarrassed and serving as a foil for Zhu Changxun, it is better to give it a try and choose to shoot the willow yourself. In this way, as long as you can shoot the gourd, even if the pigeon in the gourd loses, it is not embarrassing.  In fact, as long as you can shoot willows and gourds, no matter what the pigeon is, your limelight will be greater than that of cheating Zhu Changxun!

    It¡¯s good now that Zhu Changluo can no longer guess Zhu Yijun¡¯s thoughts.  It is said that being able to ride the emperor's mount is a supreme favor, but the key is that everyone knows that this horse is not that easy to ride, let alone galloping and shooting willows!

    Zhu Changluo even thought maliciously, could it be that Zhu Yijun was afraid that he could really shoot down the gourd and steal the limelight from his beloved son?  Or are you worried that you are too outstanding and want to suppress yourself?

    After the horse named Zi Shi Cong was brought out, Zhu Changluo¡¯s first feeling was to praise the horse!  The maroon hair on this horse's body looks a little purple when you look at it, and it looks unusually bright. There is not a single hair on its body, so it's no wonder it's called a purple lion. The horse is more than four feet tall, and its eyes are bright and alert, but full of vigilance.  His eyes are clear; his legs are neither thick nor thin, very well-proportioned, and his hooves are very straight, so he looks familiar and pleasing to the eye.

    Does it look familiar?  Zhu Changluo was stunned for a moment, yes, he did look familiar!  Why does it look so similar to one of the horses that the eunuch Chen Ju often walks in the grassland?

    Zhu Changluo and Chen Ju were well acquainted. When he went out to study in the 21st year of Wanli, Chen Ju sent a young eunuch to him as a companion. The young eunuch was named Wang An.  Regarding Wang An, even if Zhu Changluo had read it in the history books, he knew that the evaluation of him in the history books was pretty good, but after all, they were history books and were compiled by later generations. The authenticity is still debatable.

    What¡¯s more, who knows if Chen Ju sent Wang An here because of Zhu Yijun¡¯s intention?  So Zhu Changluo didn't trust Wang An too much at first.  However, I tried several times later and found nothing wrong with Wang An. In addition, I learned that when Wang An was selected to study in the inner library of the imperial city in the sixth year of Wanli, he was subordinate to Feng Baoming, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.  After that, Zhu Changluo felt relieved.

    Based on Zhu Changluo's understanding of Zhu Yijun, he can be regarded as a person who holds grudges and has no habit of being hostile to his old friends and his subordinates.  This Wang An was still young at the time, and had someone to protect him, otherwise he would definitely be implicated by Feng Bao, and even if he was not executed, he would be sent far away.

    Since Zhu Changluo left the pavilion to study, he often ran to Licaolanchang, which belonged to the Yumajian, and Chen Ju was the eunuch of the Yumajian, so he often met Chen Ju at Licaolanchang.

    Although Chen Ju is an eunuch, he has the same hobby as Zhu Changluo, that is, he also likes to gallop horses in the grassland, so the two of them have become more and more skilled.

    Regarding this point, even though he knew that Chen Ju was Zhu Yijun's confidant, Zhu Changluo was still willing to accept and see it.  If you are more cautious, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in establishing a good relationship with Chen Ju.

    Later, Zhu Changluo discovered a pattern, that is, Chen Ju would bring over several horses that looked unusually tall and handsome every few days, but he would never ride them himself. He would only lead the horses for a walk or let them go.  Stroll by yourself.  Sometimes he couldn't come, so he would send someone to bring the horse over.

    Zhu Changluo recognized that the horse named Zishi Cong was one of those horses.  Out of curiosity, Zhu Changluo had asked Chen Ju about these horses before. Chen Ju said that these were royal horses, but he did not tell Zhu Changluo the name of each horse, but only told him the characteristics of each horse.

    After knowing that those horses were royal horses, Zhu Changluo also thought about those horses and wanted to ride them to see how they were different from other horses.  However, he still hasn't achieved his wish. He knows that he is not favored by Zhu Yijun in the first place, and there are many people in the grassland. After this ride, it will inevitably spread to Zhu Yijun's ears, and he will be punished if he goes too far.  It¡¯s no longer worth it.

    Although Zhu Changluo had never ridden those royal horses, out of curiosity, he was somewhat familiar with those horses, at least not unfamiliar.

    Zhu Changluo walked inPurple Lion Cong, upon closer inspection, turned out to be one of those royal horses, and he couldn't help but feel half relieved.  But then he became a little strange. Zhu Yijun should know that he had seen this purple lion before, and maybe he also knew that he knew the characteristics of this horse. Why would he do this that seemed to be detrimental to him, but in fact not only had no impact, but also  An act of little benefit?

    ¡°After all, it¡¯s better to ride a horse you don¡¯t know anything about than to ride this seemingly unruly purple lion.  Does Zhu Yijun not know that he is familiar with this horse?

    Zhu Changluo shook his head and put down the distracting thoughts in his heart. Now is not the time to think about these things.  He waved to the sharpshooter, and after he came over, Zhu Changluo took the Turkic bow in his hand, pulled the empty string and tried it. He got it, so he hung it on his waist, and then took out three more arrows.

    When he was ready, he took the reins of the purple lion and gently stroked the horse's head with his hand.  Purple Lion Cong seemed a little unhappy, raised his front hooves, raised his neck and yelled.  Under the Queen Wang's worry, Concubine Zheng's vague ridicule, and Zhu Changxun's gloating expression, Zhu Changluo took a deep breath, grabbed the reins and horse's mane with one hand, grabbed the saddle with the other hand, and kicked off his left foot before sitting down.  Go up and the horse will rush out like the wind.

    As a result, Zhu Changluo sat down behind the saddle.  He was panicked, but fortunately he reacted quickly. He hurriedly moved the saddle sedan and stood up on the saddle. The riding skills he had practiced in the past few years still had some effect.  At this time, Zi Shicong was already running as if he were flying. The Taiye Pool on the left seemed to be falling backwards. The wind was whistling in his ears and his head was a little dizzy.  He quickly looked forward and felt better now.

    Zhu Changluo wanted to slow down. After all, his main purpose was to gallop and shoot willows, so he started to chew hard, but no matter how hard he tried, the purple lion would not slow down.  He tried to loosen the bit again, but it still didn't work, and he ran like crazy.  He tried again to make the horse turn, but it still had no effect.

    Zhu Changluo felt a burst of anxiety and fear in his heart. It would not be a problem if he kept running like this. If he wanted to shoot Liu, he had to control the horse first.  With Zi Shi Cong's current speed, even if he could turn, he would not dare to turn. He has not yet controlled the horse. If he turns around and runs to Ziguang Pavilion and collides with or tramples someone, it will be a big deal.  Trouble.

    Trying to calm down as much as possible, Zhu Changluo thought of what Chen Ju once said about the characteristics of this purple lion.  However, he laughed bitterly afterwards. At first, he only listened to it as a joke, and he only thought that Chen Ju was joking. After all, this method of controlling the horse was a bit unbelievable.

    Before riding the purple lion, Zhu Changluo still thought that as long as he could ride on it, there were horses that couldn't be controlled with the reins?  Now he knows, there is!

    We are almost reaching the end of Xiyuan. Do you want to do what Chen Ju said?  But if the purple lion is not controlled immediately, it will be really dangerous if the horse rushes out of Xiyuan and onto the street!  Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are a lot of people on the streets of the capital. If a few people are trampled to death by horses, it will be a disaster!  Concubine Zheng will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. She doesn't know what kind of rumors will spread. Will the ministers still protect her at that time?  I always feel like this is a bit confusing.

    Gritting his teeth, this damn adventure is about to happen again!
