Chapter 493 I Protect My Husband Myself

Prince Beiyi watched as Jun Moyong had the remaining Arabian horse tamed. He took a big sip of wine from his wine glass and looked at him unkindly. It seemed that the Second Prince of Tianyuan was not simple. He had tamed a wild horse that even the Crown Prince had not been able to tame.

"It seems that Tianyuan is indeed a place of hidden talents. When I saw that His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tianyuan didn't mount his horse, I was a little disappointed. I didn't expect that the Second Prince of Tianyuan would tame his horse so quickly."

This was said in a very artistic way. I'm afraid Jun Moxu wanted to kill Jun Moyong immediately at this moment.

What a good trick to sow discord. Jun Moshu looked at Prince Beiyi and spoke with a smile.

"Prince Beiyi, you're joking. What great country doesn't have its share of capable individuals? My Crown Prince brother has had professional tutors teaching him the art of ruling since he was young. My Second Brother has loved wielding swords and spears since he was young. It's no surprise that he's been able to tame the Ferghana horses sent by Beiyi."

When the Sixth Prince said this, Jun Moxu's eyes changed again. Haha, the second prince is indeed becoming more and more capable. Even the timid and cowardly Sixth Prince can speak up for him.

The Second Prince's Consort Ji Mingruo also spoke with a smile.

"Yes, my prince has loved riding, shooting, and wielding swords and spears since he was young. It was just a stroke of luck that he was able to tame this horse today. My brother, the Crown Prince, is usually busy assisting our father in handling government affairs and working on important matters. Naturally, he doesn't have the leisure time to practice riding like my prince does."

Prince Beiyi spoke with great interest upon hearing this.

"What the Second Prince's wife said is absolutely true. However, I am even more curious. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xuanyuan and His Royal Highness the Second Prince were to compete against each other, who would come out on top?"

The Northern Wing Prince gave a meaningful smile.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field became tense. Everyone knew that Prince Beiyi's words were intended to test the internal relations of the Tianyuan Kingdom's royal family.

Fortunately, after galloping a few laps on the field, Jun Moyong had already jumped off the horse nimbly and came in front of Emperor Tianyuan.

He bowed and spoke loudly.

"Father, I have fulfilled your mission."

Emperor Tianyuan was delighted and laughed heartily.

"Well done! Well done, Ayong! I bestow upon you this Ferghana horse. I hope you will gallop across the world like this steed in the future!"

Jun Moyong's face lit up when he heard this.

"Thank you, Father."

Prince Beiyi looked at Jun Moyong at this time.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince's horse training session ended just in time. I was just telling your Princess Consort that Your Highness is such a great rider. I wonder who will win if you and Your Highness compete against each other?"

Jun Moyong frowned slightly. He knew the intention of Prince Beiyi very well, but he did not want to cause unnecessary disputes in such an occasion. After all, no matter who won or lost between him and the prince, it would be a loss of face for the internal discord of the Tianyuan royal family. He immediately said humbly.

"Prince Beiyi, your compliments are unbelievable. I am not talented enough to compare myself to you, my royal brother. You are a pillar of the Tianyuan Nation, both in your literary and military prowess. I can only aspire to be better than you."

The prince's face had turned dark from the corner of his eye.

Jun Moyong then bowed to Emperor Tianyuan again.

"Father, although the Ferghana horse is precious, I value the friendship between brothers more. The Crown Prince is usually busy with various official duties, so he has very little time to practice riding and archery. I think the Crown Prince needs a good horse.

How about I send flowers to the Buddha today and give the Ferghana horse that Father gave me as a reward to the Crown Prince? In the future, I will work harder and try to share the burden for Father and the Crown Prince. This way, Father and the Crown Prince can relax a little and have more free time to do what they like.

Emperor Tianyuan knew that Jun Moyong had always been a sensible person. He did not expect that he would give up his tamed Arabian horse in such an occasion. He knew how to be friendly and respectful to his brothers. There was a satisfied and relieved smile on his face.

"Well, you tamed this horse, so you can decide for yourself."

Jun Moyong looked at Jun Moxu after hearing this.

"Brother Crown Prince, I will personally deliver this horse to your residence tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu spoke without any hesitation.

"Thank you very much."

Prince Beiyi didn't expect that Jun Moyong would handle the matter in this way in the end. The second prince of Tianyuan was smart and spoke out of curiosity.

"Speaking of which, I'm a bit curious. Previously, when so many people were competing, the Second Prince wasn't there. Suddenly, City Lord Su tamed a horse. A week after the Second Prince visited City Lord Su, he was suddenly able to compete and tame a horse. Did he learn some new tricks from City Lord Baise?"

Seeing that the topic actually came to him, Jun Moye half leaned on the chair and spoke.

"Speaking of blood relationship, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is also my cousin. This Imperial City is my hometown. City Lord Su and I arrived here two months ago. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is responsible for receiving people from Baise City, so he and I are naturally familiar with each other. Just now, I saw the City Lord riding a horse and felt so proud that I couldn't help but exchange a few words with the Second Prince. Does Prince Beiyi think this is a problem?"

Prince Beiyi then set his eyes on Jun Moye. He saw that he was wearing a dark purple cloak and his face was slightly pale.

"I think this is the young master Jun who fought against the Northern King back then. He is indeed worthy of his reputation. However, I have heard that the Northern King, the most powerful warrior of the Northern Wing, died at the hands of young master Jun. I wonder if I can have the honor of witnessing young master Jun's swordsmanship today?"

When Su Hanchu saw this, he looked at Prince Beiyi sharply.

"Since Prince Beiyi knows about the battle, he understands that my husband and I, along with General Li, fought to the bitter end to protect the people of the northwest. My husband's life was hanging by a thread, and we spent a full fortnight trying to rescue him. He now takes the finest herbs to nourish his body every day. Is Prince Beiyi's words directed at Baise City or at my husband?"

Meeting Su Hanchu's gaze, Prince Beiyi smiled.

"City Lord Su is really protective of Young Master Jun."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu smiled and reached out to hold Jun Moye's hand.

"Of course I have to protect my husband myself. I've heard that people from Beiyi are born on the grasslands, raised on horseback, and are excellent at riding and archery. It just so happens that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan suggested an archery competition, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing Prince Beiyi's archery skills."

The Northern Wing Prince laughed heartily twice.

"Alright, then I will compete with City Lord Su, so that everyone can see the archery skills of our Northern Wing!"

Seeing this, Jun Moyong smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Everyone has come from far away, and they are all distinguished guests of Tianyuan. Friendship comes first, competition comes second, and the main thing is to have fun."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Tianyuan also smiled and spoke.

"Then let's start the archery competition."

Prince Beiyi looked at someone bringing in the bull's eye and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I think this ordinary bullseye shooting game is a bit boring. How about trying something more interesting?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan spoke with some courtesy.

"Oh? What good suggestions does the Prince of the Northern Wing have?"

Prince Beiyi stood up and glanced at the maid beside him.

"Since City Lord Su just praised our North Wing's horse archery, why don't I set an example for everyone?"

After saying this, he waved his hand and someone immediately brought a bow and arrow.

The maid also walked to the center of the field.

The maid took off a green bracelet from her wrist and held it in her hand.

Prince Beiyi drew his bow and shot his arrow in one go.

The arrow was already aimed at the jade bracelet in the maid's hand...
