Li Chengqi had Li Chengqi's idea. He was just testing Li Longji today. Since Li Longji wanted to protect those two women, he would do the next thing of revenge himself and would not say hello to Li Longji again.
Li Chengqi turned back to Fangzhai. Mingzhu was sitting in the room discussing the details of going to the Western Regions with Wangyounu and the others. When she saw Li Chengqi suddenly coming again, she couldn't help but feel strange:
"Didn't you go back home? Why are you back again?"
Li Chengqi actually had a rare happy smile on his face:
"Mingzhu, can you ride a horse?"
"Ah?" Mingzhu was stunned by his question. After thinking about it, she answered, "Yes."
Li Chengqi’s smile became even stronger:
"Is there anything you don't know how to do? You seem to know everything. How are you riding?"
"It's not bad. In my home, I'm a pretty good rider and I've even participated in competitions. But compared to you ancients, I don't know." Mingzhu told the truth. In modern times, horse riding is just a kind of entertainment.
And these ancient people used horseback riding as a means of transportation, so their skills should be much better than mine.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can ride. You change your clothes now and I will take you to ride a horse." Li Chengqi said.
"Take me horse riding? Why?" Mingzhu became even more confused.
"A surprise for you."
At this time, Wangyounu suddenly intervened:
"Where are you going, Your Majesty, with Mingzhu? Do you need me to accompany you and protect you?" Wangyounu is always concerned about Mingzhu's safety.
"No need, the place I took her to is absolutely safe." Li Chengqi answered with certainty.
In a short time, the two of them walked out of the gate of Fangzhai. As soon as they walked out, Mingzhu exclaimed because the two horses in front of her were so beautiful. She had never seen such beautiful horses even at the Royal Ascot in England.
horse.
Mingzhu looked at the horse in front of her with its satin-like lustrous fur, its big bright eyes, and its powerful four hooves. She was now completely sure of one thing. Horses are animals like this.
, it has definitely degraded from ancient times to modern times.
Mingzhu jumped onto the horse skillfully. She was a little nervous at first, but soon she found the feeling. The horse was very well-trained, and she cooperated well with Mingzhu.
"Where on earth are we going?" Mingzhu asked as the two men rode forward.
"School Ground."
"The school ground? Isn't that the place where soldiers and horses are trained? Where are we going and what are we doing?"
"Didn't my father say that he would arrange for a general to secretly escort us to the Western Regions? I will take you to see that general now."
"Oh," Mingzhu nodded, feeling that she should indeed get to know the general, but another question appeared again, "Didn't you say you still want to give me a surprise? What is that surprise?"
"You'll know when you get there." Li Chengqi lightly hit the horse, and the horse kicked off its hooves and began to gallop forward. Mingzhu also hit the horse and followed. The two horses ran faster and faster, and Mingzhu only heard
The wind whistled in her ears. She really didn't expect that riding a horse could reach such speed.
The two of them let their horses run wildly for a while. Suddenly Li Chengqi reined in the horse's head and pointed forward with his whip:
"Look, Mingzhu, this is the school grounds."
Mingzhu also reined in the horse, looked up, and couldn't help but exclaimed. Not far ahead, there was a very open field. At this time, the dust was flying on the field, and teams of sergeants in bright armor were practicing. Killing shouts
The sky shook, the war horses neighed, and Mingzhu felt as if she was in an ancient battlefield.
Suddenly, she suddenly understood why ancient kings always had the dream of dominating the world. This primitive battle scene can indeed stimulate the wildness and passion deep in everyone's blood.
Mingzhu looked at the school field in front of her with obsession, while Li Chengqi looked at her with obsession. He was deeply attracted by the sudden look on Mingzhu's face. After a while, he finally couldn't help it anymore, and gently
Called:
"Pearl."
"Ah!" Mingzhu came back to her senses and turned back to look at Li Chengqi, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Qi looked at her affectionately:
"Mingzhu, have I ever told you that when I saw you for the first time in my life, I was attracted by your eyes. I thought your eyes were like two balls of fire, resembling Queen Zetian. Later, as I met you,
As my understanding of you gradually deepens, I feel more and more that you possess many of the qualities of Queen Zetian. If you have the chance, if you are willing, you will definitely be able to become a real queen like Queen Zetian.
Rule the world. But just now, my mind changed again. I think you not only have the qualities of Queen Zetian, but you also have things that Queen Zetian does not have. Queen Zetian can only rule a stable country, and you
, but he can command thousands of troops to conquer a country and become the true founding emperor."
Mingzhu burst out laughing when Li Chengqi said:
"You praise me too much. How can I be that good?"
Li Chengqi smiled and shook his head:
"Okay, we won't argue about this now, but I believe that you will be able to show off your skills in the Western Region this time. Come on, let's go see the general."
"Okay." The two men rode horses again and came directly to the side of the school field. Li Chengqi pointed in the distance with his riding whip, "That's him."
Mingzhu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a general wearing a full set of armor, riding a horse, galloping on the school field. It seemed that he was directing the training of the sergeants. The general was tall and tall.
He was tall and burly, and the war horse under his crotch was a whole head taller than other people's war horses. The armor on his body and the spear in his hand sparkled in the sunlight.
"What a mighty general." Mingzhu praised sincerely. Suddenly, the smile on her face froze, revealing an expression of disbelief. She looked straight at the general, speechless.
Li Chengqi looked at her funny:
"What, did you recognize it?"
Mingzhu's eyes widened:
"You mean, he is really a chestnut?"
"Yes, he is your brother Tang Lizi, the current General Tang."
Mingzhu couldn't bear it any longer, so she rushed into the school field and galloped towards Lizi. Lizi was concentrating on commanding the soldiers when he suddenly saw an unfamiliar horse rushing in. She was startled because this place
Usually no one comes in. He was about to ask the people around him to stop the horse, but suddenly, he heard a familiar call:
"Lizi, it's me, I'm the Pearl!"
"Mingzhu?" Lizi was stunned. Although he had never seen Mingzhu in his current form, such a crisp and familiar call was deeply engraved in his memory.
