Chapter 84: Punishing Scoundrels at the Horse Racing Meeting ([-])
Suddenly another exclamation broke out from the crowd.

Qin Min held the rein with one hand and freed up his other hand to sneak attack Yan Jiang. Yan Jiang leaned back to avoid the attack. The next moment, Qin Min turned over and kicked Yan Jiang. His whole body was tilted out, relying only on one He controlled the big black horse that was tied under the reins with one hand, and the people around him were stunned and didn't even dare to breathe.Seeing that the toe of the shoe was about to hit Yan Jiang's face, Yan Jiang leaned back to avoid the attack again. Qin Yin flew back to sit on the horse, a sinister smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.

"You are much stronger than your elder brother. If it were your elder brother, he would have been lying on the ground and admitting defeat by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jiang flew towards him with a kick, but Qin Min didn't dodge. He crossed his arms and hit the opponent's shoe soles head-on. The moment before the two collided, Yan Fei suddenly raised his foot and swept behind Qin Min. Qin Min couldn't dodge in time. He received a real kick on the shoulder blade. Yanjiang didn't give him a chance to breathe. He put his hands on the horse's back and kicked him again. Qin Min only had time to use one arm to counter the attack and was almost kicked off the horse by Yanjiang. Most of his body was tilted out. At this moment, Hanxuema charged up another blow and dismounted him directly.Yanjiang crossed the finish line, and there were endless cheers and applause around him.

Qin Min stared at the big black horse with a gloomy face, murderous intent surging in his sinister eyes. The big black horse lowered his head in fear, completely losing the thrilling momentum he had on the field just now.

"It's just a momentary carelessness. Why should the general take it to heart? This Dawanju is a rare good horse. If the general doesn't want it, why not give it to me." Ye Lingjue came over and said.

Qin Min turned around and saluted: "Your Highness is joking. This horse was given by the Emperor. I will rely on it when going into battle to kill the enemy in the future."

"That's such a pity." Ye Lingjue said.

Qin Min said: "I will pick some good horses and send them to His Highness in two days."

"Don't bother the general. I like this horse of the general. This horse is not a thing of the pond. I hope it can help the general realize what he wants as soon as possible." Ye Lingjue said.

Qin Min rolled his eyes and said, "I have to go to the military camp to inspect, so I'll take my leave first."

After Qin Min walked away, Ye Xingye came over and asked curiously: "Second brother, aren't you afraid of him?"

Ye Lingjue took a look at the sky and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace."

"Then I'll call Lingxi." After saying that, Ye Xingye slipped away.

On the other side, Yan Jiang became a piece of cake. He was surrounded by Shen Ning and others and complimented him. Some young masters also surrounded him with admiring eyes. Ye Lingxi, Yan Fei and Su Shi could only stand. On the outside.

"Lingxi, the second brother is taking us back to the palace. You can tell the second brother to stay a little longer. The game is not over yet." Ye Xingye hurried over and said.

After a while, Dong Mo came over to pick them up and take them to the carriage.

"It's still early in the day. It's okay to go back later. The palace door is still open." Ye Xingye said.

Dong Mo said: "This slave is just following orders. If the Third Highness has anything to say, you might as well go and tell His Highness yourself." Ye Xingye just looked at Ye Lingxi with pleading eyes, and Dong Mo said again: "If the princess has anything to say, go and tell her in person." Your Highness, tell me."

Ye Lingxi sighed, said goodbye to Yan Fei and Su Shi, and then pulled Ye Xingye and followed Dong Mo away.

On the way, a maid next to Hu Qian'er hurried over with a brocade box, saying that it was a thank-you gift from her young lady, and asked Ye Lingxi to accept it, so Ye Lingxi asked He He to accept it.About a quarter of an hour later, Dong Mo drove away in a carriage.

In the carriage, Ye Xingye looked curiously at the brocade box in Ye Lingxi's arms and asked, "Lingxi, what's in it?" Seeing Ye Lingxi open the lid, Ye Xingye immediately stretched his neck and leaned over, seeing an ink stone inside. , said a little strangely, "Why is it an inkstone? Why do I give you this?"

"Write." Ye Lingxi said.

Ye Xingye suddenly felt a little stupid. He didn't even expect such a simple answer. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he changed the topic and said: "I didn't expect Yan Fei's third uncle to be so powerful. No wonder Yan Fei has a good martial arts foundation. He must be It was his third uncle who taught him. That General Qin wasn't bad either, but he was a bit scary."

"Is Third Brother afraid of him?" Ye Lingxi asked.

"I am a prince, how could I be afraid of him." After saying that, Ye Xingye touched the back of his head and laughed twice, as if he wanted to gain some confidence in himself, but the effect was not obvious.

"I'm not afraid of him either." Ye Lingxi said.

If another little girl said this, Ye Xingye would definitely feel that the other girl was trying to show off her strength and talk big words, but when the little princess said it calmly, he had no doubt, and was inspired by the little princess's aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. , his self-confidence suddenly increased, and he felt that Qin Min's face was not so scary anymore.

After returning to the palace, Ye Lingjue sent Ye Lingxi back first and asked Ye Xingye to go back and rest first. Ye Xingye didn't want to be dissatisfied and left first.

After walking a few steps, Ye Lingjue mentioned something casually, "I heard that I like Princess An Ning of Qi State, and I still dream about her so much that I don't even think about food or tea. I will never marry her in this life."

Ye Lingxi: "..." Why does this little girl tell her brother everything, "Second brother, Princess An Ning is the most beautiful woman in the world, don't you like it?"

"If a person doesn't like to eat fish, but people around him say that fish is delicious, then he should eat it or not." Ye Lingjue turned to look at Ye Lingxi, with a little softness in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. The light is faint, like the light of melting snow in early spring, adding a mysterious color to the afterglow of the setting sun.

Ye Lingxi looked at those eyes for a while. She felt a little frustrated because she couldn't see through the secret behind the eyes. She turned to look at the sunset on the horizon and said, "If you don't like to eat, don't eat. If my second brother doesn't like to be pretty, It doesn’t matter if you are a sister, Lingxi will find a second sister-in-law who is not pretty for your second brother.”

Ye Lingjue was quite dumbfounded. He shook his head slightly and said with a little helplessness, "Don't worry about these things. You have been playing for most of the day today. Take a rest early when you get back."

When it was getting dark, one man and one horse rushed to the gate of the city, covered in dust.Half an hour later, General Yan and Yan Jiang were urgently summoned to the palace.

The soldier who rushed back was one of the people who followed Yan Cheng to the North to escort the iron mines, and he was also Yan Cheng's deputy general.

The journey back was originally smooth, but as soon as they entered the border of Yuzhou, the team was attacked in the woods. The enemy first released a wave of cold arrows, and then rushed over from all directions. There were about a hundred or so people. These people took action. It was accurate and ruthless. It was obvious that after long-term training, during the fight between the two sides, a cold arrow was aimed at Yan Cheng's back from a high place. By the time Yan Cheng realized the danger, it was already too late. The force of the arrow was fast and ruthless. A sword penetrated Yan Cheng's shoulder blade. The opponent did not aim at the vital parts of the heart and lungs. It seemed that he wanted to capture him alive. Yan Cheng also noticed the opponent's intention and tried his best to fight a bloody path to let a lieutenant beside him go back to report the news. He himself Then he chose to stay and fight alongside the remaining soldiers.

That night, Yan Jiang led 500 troops out of the city.
