Chapter 3240 Growing Up
As soon as he sat down, he immediately laughed: "Look, father!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the horse suddenly let out a long neigh, raised its hooves and rushed forward.
"Chengjun, be careful!"
Nan Yan screamed in fear, seeing Zhu Chengjun caught off guard and thrown backwards, about to fall off the horse. He was so scared that he leaned forward and hugged the horse's neck with his hands.
Nan Yan was about to rush forward, but Zhu Feng stopped her with a hand and said, "What can you do if you go up there?"
"But--"
She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat, especially when she saw Zhu Chengjun holding the horse's neck. The horse was even more frightened, jumping up half a person's height on the spot, shaking its neck constantly. Zhu Chengjun was so scared that he screamed and his lower body was almost thrown into the air.
After all, he is still young and cannot withstand such bumps.
If you really fall down, either your arms or legs will be broken!
Nan Yan was so anxious that she was about to cry, but Zhu Feng remained calm. He stopped her with one hand and held her in his arms, saying, "But, if you can't even ride a horse, are you still worthy of being my son?"
As he spoke, Zhu Chengjun was already being tossed around by his horse, almost falling off. He was terrified and kept shouting, "Father! Father, save me!"
"What are you saving?"
Zhu Feng shouted, and even Wen Bieyu and several other followers who were about to rush forward were stopped by him. He said, "Step on the stirrups first and sit tight!"
Zhu Chengjun originally wanted to wait for someone to rescue him, but he saw that no one around him came up, and they were all stopped by his father's roar. If he didn't find a way, his arms were already sore and weak, and he would really be thrown down.
He could only grit his teeth and keep paddling with his feet, trying to find the shaking horse step.
After a while, he actually bumped into her.
Like a drowning man finding a straw, he quickly stretched out his legs and stepped on the step to steady his body, but his hands were still tightly holding the horse's neck. The horse was still shaking its neck in an attempt to throw him off.
Zhu Chengjun cried out, "Father, Father, what should I do?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Who told you to hug the horse's neck while riding it?"
“…”
"When you were riding a horse before, how did I teach you?"
Seeing that he was still cursing, Nan Yan's eyes turned red with anxiety. She shouted directly, "Cheng Jun, grab the reins quickly! Grab the reins and tighten them, the horse won't dare to move!"
Hearing her say this, Zhu Chengjun seemed to come back to his senses.
But he didn't dare let go of the horse's neck immediately, so he circled the horse's neck with one hand and groped down around the long neck with the other hand. Sure enough, he touched the reins. He grabbed it tremblingly and passed it to his other hand.
Next, you have to let go of the horse's neck and at the same time pull the reins hard to control the horse.
If he couldn't do it, he would be thrown out by the irritable pony almost the moment he released his grip on the horse's neck.
Thinking of this, he felt a little timid again and put one hand around his neck and refused to let go.
Nan Yan shouted anxiously: "Child, hurry up!"
“…”
Zhu Chengjun didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and leaned his whole body on the horse's neck, just like a drowning man holding a piece of driftwood.
Zhu Feng sneered and said, "Just keep wasting your time. Human strength is no match for a horse. When your strength is exhausted, it will still throw you off. By then, you won't even have a chance to fall to the ground and avoid it!"
“…”
"Then I'll be a waste!"
When he heard the word "waste", it was as if a needle pierced his heart. Zhu Chengjun immediately opened his eyes. While he still had strength, and the horse finally stopped to rest after jumping four or five times in a row, he immediately released the hand that was holding the neck, put the reins in his hand around his arm, and pulled back with all his strength.
The horse suddenly let out a long, shrill neigh.
It stood up with its front hooves raised high. Zhu Chengjun's back was almost level with the ground. He was about to fall off the saddle. He stepped on the step with all his might and pulled his arms back with force, almost closing them behind his back.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide, and at this moment, even her heart stopped beating.
Zhu Feng, who was holding her, couldn't help but clench his fists.
The horse neighed for a while, then stomped its front hooves heavily on the grass, digging two deep pits. It just stopped there and didn't move anymore.
In an instant, everyone fell silent, staring with wide eyes at Han King Zhu Chengjun, who was sitting on the horse, panting and barely able to straighten his back.
His eyes are red and his nose is red too.
However, the sweat that poured down the boy's tender face like rain washed away most of his childishness. When he turned around to look at Zhu Feng, his eyes revealed a firmness that a child of his age shouldn't have.
He said, "Father!"
Zhu Feng let out a long sigh.
A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Zhu Chengjun and asked, "What?"
Zhu Chengjun said: "Father, I succeeded!"
"Um."
"I succeeded."
"I saw it."
Zhu Feng smiled, looking calm and composed. Only when Nan Yan came to her senses did she feel that the palm of his hand holding hers was full of cold sweat.
She looked up at Zhu Feng and couldn't help but smile. She turned to look at her son. Zhu Chengjun said to her again: "Mother, am I awesome?!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's amazing."
"Ha ha ha ha."
This time, the man's momentum completely overwhelmed the horse that had just caused trouble. Zhu Chengjun looped the reins around his palm twice and shouted again, "Go, go, take me for a run."
Seeing him so smug, Zhu Feng smiled so much that his eyes curved.
Zhu Chengjun had already ridden away on his horse, raising a cloud of dust.
Wen Bieyu beside him said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will run two laps with Your Highness."
Zhu Feng said, "Go ahead."
So, Wen Bieyu also took a horse from the person next to him, climbed on it, and followed the back of Zhu Chengjun who had already run far away.
Nan Yan stood there and suddenly sighed.
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "Why are you sighing?"
Nan Yan said with a complicated expression: "It's just that I feel a little, a little strange."
"How strange."
“I feel like the child is growing up.”
"Isn't it good when the child grows up?"
"It's not bad, I just feel——"
She herself seemed unable to explain it clearly, and after hesitating for a long time, she leaned her head on Zhu Feng's shoulder and said softly, "I can't bear to let you go."
Zhu Feng laughed: "I can't bear to let him go. He has to grow up too."
Nan Yan didn't say anything, just stood quietly beside him.
The two of them were half waiting for the child, half looking at the scenery, and talking and laughing. However, as time passed, Zhu Chengjun never came back.
