The atmosphere relaxed, but everyone was confused.
Everyone thought that the one who fell would be Zhao Xi, not the Prince of Daxia, but unexpectedly, the one who fell was the Prince who was a head taller than the prince...
"My prince has a sudden illness and needs to be treated by a doctor."
Well, Zhao Xi was speechless when he heard this. Well, it would save the princes in the court from thinking that he is brave...that is not a good thing.
"I'm not sick!"
Okay, now Prince Daxia woke up.
He was so dizzy that he didn't even know why he fell. The moment he fainted, he felt that his fist was about to hit the kid, but he fell to the ground at that moment.
"I'm not convinced! Come again..."
Is it really not over yet?
"It's just a brave fight. I won't accompany you anymore. Don't make a mistake and it will end up being my mistake. Let's leave it at that!"
Zhao Xi cooperated with the other party's righteousness in a very low-key manner... My child, if you are sick, don't be brave, if you are sick, you need to be treated!
"You don't need to be responsible. This prince and you are riding and shooting!"
I'll go! Zhao Xi's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
I said, do you think that this Song Dynasty is the same as your Xia Dynasty? In the past few years since I came here, I have never even seen a horse. You want to compete with me in horseback riding and archery?
"What do you think? Do you dare to compete with me in riding and shooting?"
Convinced! Not to mention Zhao Xi, everyone in the entire hall, whether they were from the Song Dynasty or the Xia Dynasty, looked at the Prince of Xia in a daze.
"Your Highness, the Song Dynasty is different from our dynasty. That prince does not know how to ride and shoot."
"Your Highness, the King of the Song Dynasty has never even seen a war horse, let alone riding and shooting."
Not to mention, Da Xia's Zhengdan envoy and that so-and-so Jing Xun were really right. He, Zhao Xi, had never seen a war horse.
Not to mention after coming here, even before he came here, he didn't know what a war horse was like.
He knows and knows how to ride a horse. A comrade from Inner Mongolia once took him to ride a horse for a few days. It was not a war horse. When he entered the army, the cavalry had already declined. There was no cavalry in the entire war zone. Where could he go to see him?
War horse?
At this time, the Daxia Prince looked at Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi also looked at him. He was very calm. There was nothing to dodge. If you haven't seen it before, you haven't seen it before. This is not a prairie, nor is it a horse breeder, nor is it a herdsman.
Supervisor, there is no shame in having never seen a war horse.
"Have you really never seen a war horse?"
This child seems to be not only a child, but also an honest child.
"It is true that I have never seen a war horse."
"I am eight years old and can stand on horseback, draw a stone bow, and shoot cattle and sheep thirty paces away! You are weak..."
Tsk! It’s just that the limbs are well developed. Is it different that I knocked him down just now?
I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you.
Zhao Xi ignored this fool, and Shi Shiran turned around and went back, still acting as if he hadn't heard him, and sat behind the desk.
"Your Highness, the Song Dynasty is not as good as the Xia Dynasty. It only needs to be familiar with the books of sages, so we can have good water and rivers..."
This is a bit too much. This Jing Xun... really no one can stand up to him.
"Jing Xun! Do you know why you are doing this? Do you think that the Song Dynasty has no way to control the Xia Dynasty?"
Lao Jia, do you have it? If you do, take it out and show it to this bastard Daxia, and don't let him act arrogantly in our court.
Even though Jia Changchao had a loud voice, everyone could tell that he was a bit stern and angry. As a leader, if he didn't say anything, I'm afraid that even if the matter was over, some admonishers would bring it up and torment him several times.
"Xiang Jia, don't get angry because your subordinates talk too much... Jing Xun! Don't be rude!"
Is this the end? I'm just trying to get angry... It's beneath my status to keep arguing with a villain! I keep advising myself with these words. Zhao Xi doesn't know if he really follows the Zhao family's temper and can't stand it.
Got off.
"Do you dare to ride a horse?"
What's wrong with it? Zhao Xi didn't expect that the Daxia Prince would actually confront him.
Didn’t I just let you go? As for pestering me endlessly.
Or maybe you have a strong sense of honor and have embarrassed Daxia for a while, and then you want to regain your reputation.
The question is, why bother with me?
In this situation, in the eyes of the Daxia Prince, only Zhao Xi is equal to him, so he can only forcefully pester Zhao Xi.
"What does this king have to do with you whether I dare or not?"
"I bet you can't ride a hundred steps!"
Tsk! There's something wrong with it, you bet? I still have to cooperate.
Zhao Xili ignored him. He was just an impulsive boy. He didn't even have a basis for what he said, let alone logic.
baffling!
"If you ride more than a hundred paces, I will leave behind five hundred horses!"
This... Zhao Xi also knows the importance of war horses to the Song Dynasty. Five hundred war horses is a commanding horse infantry. This bet is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized tribe for Da Xia.
As expected of the prince, he was indeed generous in his actions.
It seemed that the entire Daxia envoy didn't find it strange, and no one stopped him, but on his side... all of them were breathing heavily.
"If you can draw a stone bow on horseback, I will send you 500 more horses from the Western Army of Song Dynasty!"
Forced? It's a bit much. Regardless of Zhao Xi's temper... having a temper doesn't work, he was about to get up.
"Xi'er, no!"
"Your Majesty, don't be influenced by other people's words. I, the Song Dynasty..."
"Ru Da Song doesn't need war horses, he just needs to build them!"
Jia Changchao finally tried to say something to Zhao Xi, but he tried to persuade Zhao Xi kindly, but Jing Heshi interrupted him rudely.
Jia Changchao stared at him with a very threatening look, but he stared back at him.
Zhao Xi didn't think it was difficult to ride a horse. It was his first time riding a horse and he was very smooth. His comrades said that he was born to be a cavalry, but it was a pity that it was an obsolete unit.
However, Zhao Xi knew that he seemed to know his movements very well, and all his movements were very smooth, basically all at once.
He didn't show off at this time because he really didn't want the princes in the court to think that he was a martial artist. He had no choice but to know that in this era, warriors were looked down upon.
If he behaves bravely at this time, those scholar-bureaucrats who will work with him in the future... don't think that the emperor has absolute leadership power. He still knows the confederation power of the political hall.
If you are not of the same mind as Shilin, or if you do not have the foundation of ministers and workers, even the emperor may not be able to get the edict out of the palace, let alone Bianliang City.
Therefore, he was a little reserved and restrained... but he didn't expect that people would bite his nose and face.
Zhao Xi got up anyway. He really didn't like being looked at like this... The look of contempt was clearly revealed, as well as the expectations of the ministers and servants in the court. Even King Runan had expectant eyes... This old man
I'm afraid the kid is hoping that he will fall off the horse and die, right?
It’s really possible!
"One thousand horses! It's ready for delivery. I can try riding."
Two countries that had just seemed harmonious on the surface, how could they believe those things after the fact? Zhao Xi is not that stupid.
In fact, he also wanted to delay. If they didn't bring a thousand horses and transport them from Gansu to here... he should be able to learn by this time.
