Chapter 171 A good horse from a thousand miles away

When Lin Shuo returned to the emperor with the ten-shot crossbow, the emperor stood up and took the crossbow from his hand.

After fiddling with it for a few times, the emperor mounted his horse, holding the ten-barrel crossbow in one hand high above his head, and said, "Today, I will use this ten-barrel crossbow to go hunting. Do you dare to compete with me?"

Wei Xiaoran also jumped on his horse, followed by Ge Xingyuan, Lin Wu and other generals. Wei Xiaoran said, "Why not?"

The emperor laughed heartily in a rather heroic manner and kicked the horse's belly. Then the horse ran out, and Wei Xiaoran and others hurriedly followed.

Once the emperor and all the officials left, Lin Qian and her family members could move freely.

Lin Qian had long wanted to try her hand at the hunting ground, and enthusiastically invited Zhao Xiu and Zhang Yufang.

Zhang Yufang waved her hands. She couldn't even ride a horse, let alone hunt. Zhao Xiu could ride a horse and was a decent martial artist, but she didn't want to go. In the end, only Ge Wenyu accompanied Lin Qian.

"Sister Qianqian, look at that horse, it's so beautiful! I like it." There is a horse farm in Mulan Paddock. The horses there are all excellent horses, and there are many of them for people to choose from.

The horse that Ge Wenyu pointed out was a snow-white horse. It was very beautiful, completely white without a trace of other colors. Lin Qian was also stunned when she saw this horse. This horse was really beautiful.

A palace servant heard Ge Wenyu's words and immediately came over, saying with a smile, "Young lady, you have a very good eye. This is the White Dragon Colt, also known as the Jade Lion Shining at Night, which can travel a thousand miles a day."

"Is this the Jade Lion that shines at night?" After hearing this, Ge Wenyu's eyes brightened even more. He took two steps to the white dragon colt and looked at it carefully.

She grew up in a military camp and had heard stories about various horses and weapons from veterans.

Lin Qian had also learned about horse types from books and knew this kind of horse, but this was the first time she had seen one.

Ge Wenyu reached out and touched the nose of Zhaoye Jade Lion. He was very docile and did not avoid Ge Wenyu's hand. Instead, he rubbed it upwards.

"He likes me!" said Ge Wenyu.

Lin Qian also reached out and touched it, then asked Ge Wenyu, "Do you want to take it out and try riding it?"

Ge Wenyu nodded, and the palace servant standing next to him immediately opened the door of the stable and led the Zhaoye Jade Lion out of the stable.

Seeing Ge Wenyu mount the horse skillfully, Lin Qian walked around and chose the horse she wanted to ride.

At a glance, Lin Qian suddenly saw a very special horse. It seemed to be on fire. The tips of its ears, mane, tail and limbs were all red, while the rest of its body was completely black.

Lin Qian quickly walked over to the horse and asked a nearby palace servant, "What breed is this horse? It's so special!"

The palace maid bowed to Lin Qian before saying, "Madam, this horse's name is Treading Fire Qilin. Look, its limbs are like fire. It's a rare and excellent horse that can run a thousand miles. However, its temperament is rather wild and difficult to tame."

This horse has a very distinctive appearance. Lin Qian reached out to touch its fur, but the Fire Qilin took two steps back vigilantly. He wanted to hide, but seemed to smell something, so he stopped and let Lin Qian touch him.

The palace attendant standing nearby uttered an "eh" and said to Lin Qian with a smile, "It seems this fire-riding Qilin has a special connection with Madam."

Lin Qian just smiled and didn't say much. Animals all have keen intuition. The Fire Qilin should have sensed the smell in her space.

After all, her space is filled with either the finest medicinal herbs or spring water with miraculous medicinal effects.

"Then I want this one. Please help me lead him out." Lin Qian said to the palace servant next to her. The palace servant said yes and led the Fire Qilin out.

Lin Qian jumped on the horse and rode it for two laps. When there was no one around, she scooped some cold spring water with her hands and fed it to the Fire Qilin.

The Fire Qilin seemed very excited and licked it clean in two bites.

At this time, Ge Wenyu also ran over riding her Zhaoye Jade Lion: "Sister Qianqian, yours is so unique!"

Lin Qian stroked the Fire-Treading Qilin's mane twice, nodded, and said, "Now that we've chosen our horses, let's go."

Ge Wenyu nodded, and the two rode their horses to the exit of the horse farm. There were longbows and quivers that had been prepared long ago. As long as they took them, they could enter the hunting ground directly.

The two men had just walked out of the stables on horseback when they met a few young ladies. Judging from their looks, they were probably there to choose horses as well.

Neither side noticed the other, and Lin Qian and the others almost bumped into each other. Fortunately, the two fine horses were very human-like and turned their bodies around so as not to hit anyone.

There were five little girls standing opposite. When they saw two horses suddenly appear and almost hit them, they were all shocked, especially the girl in the lead who was wearing a blue riding suit.

After she reacted, she immediately put her hands on her waist and glared at Lin Qian and Ge Wenyu. Just as she was about to scold them, she saw the horses they were riding.

All of a sudden her eyes widened, staring at Ge Wenyu's Zhaoye Jade Lion.

"You, come down and give me your horse!" the girl said, pointing at Ge Wenyu.

Ge Wenyu didn't know who this girl was, and she wouldn't be scared by her casual scolding.

"This is what I have selected. If you want one, there are many more horses in the stable for you to choose from." After saying that, Ge Wenyu wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the girl immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Ge Wenyu and shouting, "How dare you! Do you know who I am? If I want something, you must give it to me!"

Lin Qian and Ge Wenyu returned to the capital at the same time. In total, they had only lived in the capital for a year. They really didn't know all the officials, royal relatives and nobles.

Therefore, Ge Wenyu became interested again and asked, "Who are you?"

The young girl raised her head proudly, and someone behind her introduced her: "This is the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi, Meng Linglong."

Although no one knows who this Marquis Yongyi is, Meng Linglong is just the daughter of a marquis, and Ge Wenyu is a princess, no worse than her.

Lin Qian looked at this little Lolita who was obviously spoiled by her family, and shook her head in her heart. It was such a pity for her arrogant attitude. If it was a princess, she might really scare people.

Unfortunately, she is just the daughter of a marquis, and Ge Wenyu alone can handle her.

Ge Wenyu propped up the Zhaoye Jade Lion's head with one hand, leaned forward, looked at Meng Linglong with a smile, and asked, "Then do you know who I am?"

These five girls had obviously never seen Ge Wenyu before. They whispered to each other and shook their heads.

Ge Wenyu said: "My father is Prince Ping'an Ge Xingyuan, and I am Princess Wenyu."

The five girls across from them were stunned for a moment, and then they heard Meng Linglong's sweet laughter: "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the daughter of a powerless prince of the opposite sex, some Princess Wenyu, stop laughing at me."
