Chapter 364 Horse Traps
Taking advantage of the carelessness of the guards of the Jin Dynasty, he smeared the powder on the noses of all the horses that came before him. The horses immediately felt itchy and licked their noses with their tongues. The powder went into their mouths without leaving any residue.
The food and fresh water in front of them were still clean.
In the prefect's mansion, Gu Shaoyu and the eldest prince sat opposite each other, and in front of the ninth prince was Shao Shengming.
Looking at the "thin" Cezhou governor, the ninth prince spoke provocatively again.
"Are all of you Han people so weak, unable to drink or eat? Why are you all like little lambs, making people want to step on you?"
Shao Shengming had seen all kinds of situations. People like the Ninth Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty who were only good at talking but had no real brains were naturally the easiest to deal with, so he replied with a smile.
"Not really, but I once read an ancient medical text that said if a person is too tall and strong, his blood may not be enough, so his brain may not be good enough. So in Daxing, for someone as strong as a bear as the Ninth Prince, only Kunlun slaves can match him."
"Kunlun slave?"
"Yes, he is as strong as an ox and his body is as black as lacquer, but he is gentle and honest, so he is quite popular among the powerful families in my dynasty."
No matter how dumb the Ninth Prince was, he could tell that he was being compared to a slave, and he asked with a cold face.
"Are you tired of living? How dare you insult this prince!"
Shao Shengming spread his hands and said innocently.
"Weren't the Ninth Prince and I discussing the issue of body size? How can this be considered an insult to the prince? I dare not accept such a title, right, First Prince?"
The eldest prince thought that his younger brother was both stupid and ostentatious.
But he still had to pretend to be a peacemaker, so he raised his glass to Shao Shengming and said.
"My ninth brother's words conflicted with mine, so please don't take it to heart, Lord Shao."
"Of course, but with the eldest prince in the Jin Dynasty, the people can be obedient and the country can be safe."
Although these words were addressed to the eldest prince, the meaning was clear. If the Ninth Prince were still in the Great Jin Dynasty, the people would be in disarray and the country would be in turmoil.
Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince didn't hear it, so everyone present knew what kind of person he was.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes were rich and delicious.
The Ninth Prince's voice was better than his alcohol tolerance. Gu Shaoyu looked at him and thought he was a heavy drinker, but he passed out after two jars of wine. On the contrary, the eldest prince next to him turned paler, but he could see that he was still calm in his eyes.
After looking at the sky outside, Gu Shaoyu began to speak.
"It's getting late today, so let's take a rest first. We will set out at noon tomorrow."
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, thinking that they had been delayed for too long that they had to rush back in such a hurry, so he did not say much. As for the ninth prince next to him, he was naturally carried away by their Great Jin people.
The next day, early in the morning, Gu Shaoyu and others were seen ready to go, but bursts of roars came from the resting place of the Jin Dynasty's carriages not far away.
"Damn it! Who did this? How dare they attack our horses? How come the people in Daxing are all such sneaky people! Come out! This prince wants to fight you in a duel!"
Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli, who were scolded, looked innocent one after another, and pretended to look at others with curiosity, as if Wei Lun and the others had done it.
Gu Shaoyu glanced at them coldly, and then saw Luo Yuan immediately riding his horse forward and speaking.
"General, rest assured. I will arrange for our horses to tow the carriage right away! We will definitely send the distinguished envoys of the Great Jin Dynasty to Sui'an City in advance. We will not delay for even a quarter of an hour!"
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't say much and watched Luo Yuan's arrangements quietly.
Gu Shaoyu would not believe it if he said it was not him, after all, everything was arranged in just half an hour. Although the eldest prince was unhappy about it, he had to turn a blind eye to it because he had already settled in Daxing.
The Ninth Prince, on the other hand, was cursing a lot and looked at Luo Yuan and the others viciously!
"Tell me, did you do this? Why can't our horses move?"
The horses that came with the envoys from the Great Jin Dynasty this time were the best and strongest. One reason was to show off to Daxing how powerful their horse breed was, and the other was that they could run faster on these horses.
But now they have all fallen, and the Ninth Prince naturally knew that someone was behind this, but they had brought their own food and fresh water, and the people who were guarding last night did not find anything wrong. Even if he wanted to get angry, he had no place to do it, so he could only take the initiative and curse them first before saying anything else.
"Your Highness, it sounds as if we are the ones who are causing trouble. What good will it do us if we delay our trip? Perhaps your horses from the Great Jin can't stand the climate and soil of our Daxing, so they are not used to it. In that case, let's not delay any longer. We still have a batch of war horses that you can use. Get ready and get on your horses!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"This prince doesn't want those bastard horses, I want my Jueying!"
Luo Yuan snorted coldly. The drug they gave to this horse, Jueying, was the most powerful, so it would not be able to get up in three to five days! So when he heard this, Wei Lun said with some surprise.
"Ninth Prince, be careful with your words. That is my Daxing's warhorse, not some other horse. If you insist on having your Jueying, then you can stay in Cezhou. The eldest prince can also go to pay tribute."
He had long disliked the Ninth Prince. If it weren't for the peace alliance, the Tiger Guards would have turned the table and left long ago. How could he be the one to say this and that here?
The Ninth Prince was unwilling to give in. He certainly would not allow the First Prince to go alone, but seeing his own Jueying like this, he was also very angry.
After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to mount Daxing's warhorse. Although the horse was a rare good horse, he was distracted and did not feel comfortable riding it, so he could not go fast.
Luo Yuan noticed his unhappiness early on, so he said to Zheng Deli next to him.
"Let's go. Let's lead the team to explore the way ahead first, so that we don't have to stay behind and linger. It's really frustrating."
"Okay, let's see which one is faster, your horse or mine!"
With two slaps of the whip, the horses all ran forward. For some reason, the horse under the Ninth Prince also became agitated. He had countless royal horses in the Great Jin Dynasty, so in this situation he naturally knew that the horses were recognizing their master.
All of a sudden, the competitive spirit in his heart rose up, and he started to run following the horse's temperament. Wei Lun saw this scene with some subtle sarcasm.
