The roar came from Ming Jin.
He was injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up. He had just watched Liuhuo lose control, and then watched Chang Suining subdue him, with both the man and the horse being unharmed. This made him even more furious.
Why was he the only one injured? However, the Chang brothers and sisters had no direct conflict with him in this matter, so he could only vent all his anger on the horse of the former prince that threw him out.
He shouted that he wanted to kill Liuhuo and skin him.
Liuhuo, who was finally reunited with his master, was now in a calm and relaxed posture. If it were not for the tall image and professional ethics of a warhorse, it would have rolled on the ground with joy.
As for Mingjin's shouting and calling for war, it noticed nothing.
It doesn't need to notice anything -
"Liuhuo is a warhorse of my Xuan Ce Mansion. I had someone place it here. Without permission, Prince Ming has no right to move it." Cui Jing looked at Ming Jin, who was half-sitting on the ground with the help of a servant not far away, and said in a slightly cold tone: "I haven't investigated Prince Ming's fault yet. How can Prince Ming have the qualifications to threaten to deal with it?"
This is very unpleasant to hear.
As everyone knows, General Cui of Xuan Ce Mansion always speaks in a harsh way, but it is rare to see him do so at this moment.
It was as if some bottom line had been touched.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense because of the young man's words. Everyone fell silent, and the young men surrounding Ming Jin did not dare to speak out to support him.
No matter how domineering they are on a daily basis, it depends on the person - the other party is from the Cui family, holds the military power of the Xuan Ce Army, and has real merits... They cannot afford to offend him.
Therefore, although Ming Jin felt extreme pain in his crotch, he could only grit his teeth and go into battle himself: "General Cui is so powerful, so what about the things of Xuan Ce Mansion? It's just a beast, can't I deal with it?"
"Its name is Liuhuo, and it was the warhorse of the late Crown Prince. The contributions it made to Dasheng are incomparable to those of the Crown Prince, not to mention the Crown Prince of Ming, even ordinary officials cannot compare to it—"
Cui Jing looked at Ming Jin and said, "Therefore, not only can you not deal with him, but you must also receive the appropriate punishment for your unauthorized actions today."
"You..." Ming Jin was so angry that his whole body was shaking. Was Cui Jing actually scolding him for being inferior to this beast?
"Ah, I see!" Chang Sui'an suddenly realized and looked at Liu Huo with admiration: "So it is the first-rank hoofed guard in the army of His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince!"
Everyone: “……?”
In the army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...there is actually such an official position?
"It holds an official position!" Chang Sui'an said, "Of course not everyone can ride it and kill it without permission!"
"Bullshit!" Ming Jin cursed, "I'm going to peel its skin off today, who dares to stop me?"
Cui Jing didn't even look at him again, he just stretched out his hand to Chang Suining and said, "Leave it to me."
Chang Suining handed over the reins without hesitation.
If there is anyone who can truly protect Liuhuo at the moment, it is only Cui Jing.
She is now Chang Suining and has nothing to do with Liuhuo. She does not have the same position and power as Cui Jing.
When Cui Jing took the reins, he saw the girl's palm stained with blood.
But she didn't seem to notice.
Cui Jing handed Liuhuo to Yuan Xiang and said, "Take it back to the stable and have someone take good care of it. No one is allowed to approach it without my permission."
Liuhuo has his own separate stable in Furong Garden, where three horses, including Liuhuo, live.
"yes."
Yuanxiang took the reins and tried to lead Liuhuo away, but no matter how hard he pulled, Liuhuo refused to move.
Yuan Xiang was stunned.
What happened to Liu Huo? "Go back." Chang Suining raised his hand and touched Liu Huo's neck, trying to make his movements and tone sound polite rather than intimate: "I will visit you often."
Liuhuo's ears moved, one moved forward and the other stretched backward.
This is its reaction when it feels confused.
Why does the master's tone sound weird?
It's pomegranate fire!
It's not one of those strange horses outside! Chang Suining calmly looked away, pretending not to notice its puzzled ears.
Fortunately, Liuhuo has always been obedient to her. Although he didn't understand "what nonsense the master was talking about", he still did it.
Liuhuo followed Yuanxiang away, looking back from time to time.
Seeing the horse being taken away, Mingjin shouted even louder.
But no one cares.
Chang Sui'an looked at Liu Huo who was walking away and couldn't help but said, "Ning Ning, did you notice that it seems to be very close to you?"
Chang Suining: "...After all, I have always been very talented in the art of riding."
She looked as if saying, "Since I'm such a talented person, it's only natural that I'm favored by some horses."
Chang Sui'an was naturally convinced.
Yao Xia, who was standing next to Chang Suining, was completely mesmerized and could not speak for a moment. He could only look up at Chang's sister infatuatedly.
As for Ming Jin's continued cursing, he wasn't listening at all.
Ming Jin became angrier and angrier as he cursed—damn it, no one was listening to him! The next moment, someone finally paid attention to him.
"I say you are a person who doesn't know right from wrong. It was you who wanted to drive your horse to hit Brother Sui'an first, but because of your poor riding skills, you were thrown off. You are useless, so why are you blaming the other General Ma?"
Ming Jin looked up and his lips trembled - it was someone with the surname Cui again!
Just as he was about to retort, Cui Lang pointed at Chang Miao standing aside and said, "Besides, the wound on your body was clearly caused by his horse. How come you can't even figure out the account?"
This sentence reminded Mingjin.
He looked at Chang Miao steadily.
Yes, the crazy horse that threw him off deserved to die, but his injury was caused by that loser Chang Miao...
"Cousin, I..." Chang Miao, whose nose was still bleeding, turned pale: "I really didn't mean it!"
Who knew that the horse's hoof seemed to have eyes, stepping on a bad place, but it just...
Frightened, Chang Miao subconsciously looked at his cousin's crotch.
Being stared at like that, Ming Jin felt ashamed and angry. He immediately helped the servant and was about to get up and beat Chang Miao.
However, this movement affected the injured area, and even more intense pain suddenly came over him, and the pig-slaughtering-like scream rang out again.
"Prince!"
"What are you still standing there for? Take our cousin to see the doctor!"
After a period of chaos, Ming Jin, who was screaming, was quickly carried away from here.
Those Mingjin supporters also left one after another.
"That Miss Chang... looks like she has real skills. Just looking at the way she rode the horse just now, it's clear that she's not just an ordinary showman!"
Those hands could even control such a fierce warhorse. If they were clenched into fists and hit someone, it would definitely hurt! How did Prince Ming get beaten? Now they really understood! However, the noise they made just now... shouldn't be too loud, right? The timid ones felt very uneasy at this moment, and left quickly without even looking back, for fear of being stared at.
His ears finally quieted down, and Chang Suining looked at Chang Sui'an: "Brother, did you agree to a horse race with Mingjin today? Were you a little impulsive?"
"Yes." Chang Sui'an reflected, "It's all my fault that I got carried away and fell for his provocation. I thought that after checking that the horse had not been tampered with, there would be no other problems... If it weren't for the spirituality of the late Crown Prince's divine horse, I would have been in bloody disaster today."
He did not make excuses for himself, but earnestly assured himself: "I was wrong this time, but there won't be a next time!"
Chang Suining nodded: "Brother, if you can think this way, then today's incident is not entirely a bad thing."
If you can learn from this, you can avoid a lot of trouble next time you encounter similar things.
When Chang Sui'an was still about to reflect on himself, Prince Rong came over accompanied by eunuchs.
"Thank you, Madam Chang, for saving me." Prince Rong bowed and thanked her, holding in his hand the shawl that Chang Suining had just dropped.
Cui Jing looked over.
Xier stepped forward, bowed, and took the shawl.
Chang Suining said: "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me."
"It's not just a simple favor." Prince Rong looked at the girl in front of him with gratitude in his eyes: "In such a critical situation just now, it is not an exaggeration to say that Madam Chang risked her life to save us..."
Chang Suining: “…”
Not really.
She was confident of her horse, so her life was not in danger.
Liuhuo suddenly lost control because he heard her whistle, and she needed to ensure that the lives of innocent people were not affected.
Looking at the face in front of her that looked quite similar to her uncle, she said, "The prince doesn't look well. It's better to go back and ask the doctor to take a look."
Last time at Dayun Temple, the other party suffered from asthma due to being frightened.
"Thank you, Madam Chang." Li Lu bowed again and said, "I will report to the Saint how Madam Chang saved me today. I will come to thank you again after we return to the city."
Chang Suining declined, "No need to bother."
Li Lu did not make any comment, but nodded to Cui Jing and others before leaving the place accompanied by the eunuchs.
Chang Suining and others also left the horse farm.
Yao Xia went to look for his brother Yao Gui. Cui Lang pulled Chang Sui'an to talk behind, while Chang Suining and Cui Jing walked in front.
"...If it is the warhorse of the late Crown Prince, why is it in this Hibiscus Garden?" Chang Suining asked in a casual tone.
"It was previously kept in Xuan Ce Mansion." Cui Jing explained, "But Xuan Ce Mansion is an office after all, and it's a bit crowded to keep horses. Liu Huo no longer needs to go to the battlefield, so I sent it to Furong Garden for resettlement—"
The horse farm in Furong Garden is spacious and has large grasslands, which is very suitable for Liuhuo to live and retire here.
Chang Suining finally understood.
So what Ah Dian said before, “Liu Huo is no longer here”, did it just mean that Liu Huo was no longer in Xuan Ce Mansion?
This was so stupid that she thought the heroic spirit of Liuhuo had died long ago.
Cui Jing continued, "Liu Huo has been living quite well here over the years. He now has a wife and a son living here with him, and no one disturbs him on weekdays."
Chang Suining: “?”
He even got married and had children? In that case, she missed Liuhuo's wedding and its cub's full moon banquet...
She subconsciously looked at the young man beside her.
He even arranged a horse for Xuance Mansion so well, and even arranged a marriage for her. He treated Liuhuo with love and even respect in his words.
From the small to the big picture, it is really a good destination for Xuan Ce's army to be handed over to such a person. Not to mention that she survived, even if she really died, she could rest in peace in the nine springs.
Chang Suining couldn't help but say sincerely: "General Cui, you are such a good person."
Cui Jing: “…Is that so.”
This was the first time in my life that I received such simple and straightforward praise, and I felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
He seemed to change the subject and asked, "...Liu Huo is not an ordinary horse. Weren't you afraid just now?"
Chang Suining shook his head.
If she said she was afraid at this moment, it would be too fake.
Cui Jing looked forward: "Last time in Dayun Temple, you didn't seem to be afraid when facing the mad elephant--"
"Now that things are happening, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, fear is useless and will only make people retreat." Chang Suining also looked at the path ahead and said casually, "You must know that fear will also be afraid. When you run towards it, it will flee in panic."
Cui Jing's thick eyelashes moved slightly.
So, she was not born fearless.
But he won in the confrontation with fear.
But what about the first confrontation, when she didn't know that fear would also flee, what kind of mood was she in as she ran towards fear?
He thought a lot.
Even, an unspeakable secret guess emerged in his mind.
The young man had a calm and peaceful expression in his eyes, but in the more than twenty years he had lived in this world, his heart had never been as turbulent as it was today. At first, that unrealistic delusion lit up the first spark on the snowy field.
But he couldn't tell why he was in that mood, but at this moment he chose to stop testing.
Either he didn't dare to rush to verify it, or... he didn't want to offend her.
No matter which one she is.
The two walked for a while, and when the breeze blew on their faces, he asked, "Are you interested in the position of Crown Princess?"
He asked directly, and Chang Suining answered simply: "I have no intention."
Cui Jing nodded: "Okay."
Then he knew.
Chang Suining subconsciously looked towards Cui Jing, and just when he was about to speak, one of Chang Kuo's close followers came over.
When he asked about the horse race, he saw that the brother and sister were fine, so he said, "... General, please ask the girl to come over and talk."
"Let's go together." Cui Jing said.
At this time, General Chang called people over to talk, and it was obvious why.
Chang Suining nodded.
It is always a good thing to discuss countermeasures with multiple trustworthy people.
When Chang Suining arrived at Chang Kuo's temporary residence, he realized that Yao Tingwei was also there.
The moment Cui Jing and Chang Suining walked in together, they attracted Yao Yi's gaze - why did General Cui come here? Cui Jing also looked at him - why was Yao Tingwei here too?
After a moment, they both looked at Chang Kuo again.
The eyes of the two seemed to convey the same hesitation - each thought the other was not suitable to participate in the subsequent conversation.
"..." Chang Kuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "We are not strangers, sit down and talk!"
He and Cui Jing have known each other for many years. As for Yao Tingwei, he couldn't stand the other party's shameless rubbing against him for the past six months, and Ningning was also happy to rub against him... In this way, they really developed some trust and feelings.
Yao Tingwei didn't think so.
Now everyone in the capital knows that he is half the father of the girl from the Chang family, but the always unkind and conspicuous General Cui is not considered an outsider. How can this be explained?
But since the eldest wife's father had nodded, as a concubine, he couldn't say much.
Several people sat down and talked.
Before talking about business, Cui Jing said something. His tone sounded casual, but in fact he had thought it over again and again -
"Let's clean the wound first."
Chang Suining reacted for a moment - what wound? "..." Cui Jing felt speechless and looked at her hand.
Chang Suining lowered his head and took a look. This is it.
It's not a big wound, just a minor scratch.
Chang Kuo and Yao Yi then noticed that she had an injury on her hand, and hurriedly asked Xier to get some medicine.
The three of them just stared at Xi'er treating Chang Suining's wound. Yao Tingwei even came closer to stare at them: "...Will it leave scars? Will it affect your ability to use a brush in the future? Do you want to ask a medical officer to take a look?"
Xier is under a lot of pressure.
Chang Suining was not much better.
After taking the medicine, Fang Jue breathed a sigh of relief: "...Okay, let's get down to business."
Cui Jing looked at Chang Kuo and Yao Yi.
He needed to first listen to whether General Chang and his men had a more feasible plan, and then decide whether to speak up.
Good night, everyone~ (Because many of Hongxiu’s book friends left messages saying that I have stopped updating, let me explain the update problem of Hongxiu.
