Ruan Tang is not afraid. Although she narrowly escaped death just now, she will still dare to ride in the future.
It's just that the black horse has gone to nowhere, otherwise, she still wants to tame it.
But the most troublesome thing now is, will the owner of the dark horse be blamed?
After all, such purebred, wild, and explosive horses are not often found.
Ruan Tang was secretly thinking that after returning, he would have to take out the money he had saved in the bank, and he didn't know if it would be enough to compensate.
Just when she was thinking a lot, she saw Chu Mu put his hand to his lips and blew a whistle.
Not long after, she heard the clatter of horse hooves coming from afar.
A moment later, she saw the sleek, muscular black horse emerging from the misty forest and running towards them.
Ruan Tang was in disbelief at first, and then looked excited.
The anger towards him just now also disappeared completely.
"Is this dark horse yours?" Her eyes were sparkling, and she couldn't hide the joy.
Chu Mu looked up at him and said with a smile: "Of course it belongs to me. Who else in the capital can have such a good horse except me?"
This fierce fire was hunted in the grassland when he followed his imperial brother to fight in the northern Xinjiang in his early years.
He was young and high-spirited at that time. When he saw this horse, he made up his mind to tame it and accompany him to conquer the northern border and kill the enemy to protect the country.
At that time, it took three days and three nights just to hunt it, and finally caught it. It also took nearly a month to tame it and make it recognize him as its master.
Since then, he and it have fought together in every battle, and they have accompanied him to achieve many victories.
After returning to Shangjing, it was kept in captivity.
But its wild nature is still there, and he will take it out every year for hunting or other purposes.
But he didn't expect that Ruan Tang would dare to ride it.
But it can also be seen that it should be running comfortably under her today.
Ruan Tang smiled and thought about Xiao Jiujiu.
After the horse stopped in front of them and hummed at Chu Mu affectionately, Ruan Tang spoke again: "Your Highness, when my feet heal, can you give me another ride on your horse?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the horse snorted again, but this time it was different from the previous one. It seemed to be rebutting and rejecting her proposal.
Chu Mu also agreed with it.
He refused coldly: "Don't even think about it."
Today was already dangerous enough, how could he let her take another risk?
With that said, Chu Mu turned over and sat on Liehuo's horse.
"If you want to ride, I can give you this white horse. This is also a good horse with a gentle temperament. It is most suitable for women to ride."
"I don't want it, I just want to ride it."
I suffered a loss at its hands today, how could I not get it back?
She was confident that she could tame it, it was just a matter of time.
However, Chu Mu turned his horse around and stopped responding to her request.
"Let's go back."
After saying that, she gently pinched the horse's belly, and Li Huo slowly walked forward. His docile appearance was completely different from when she was riding it, as if it was not the same horse.
Although Ruan Tang was not convinced, she knew that if Chu Mu did not agree, no matter how much nonsense she said, it would be useless.
He curled his lips and had no choice but to hug the horse's belly and follow him.
However, at this time, Ruan Tang also discovered that the clothes on his back were red, and there was a hole in it, and blood could be seen oozing out there.
She hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, your back is injured."
But Chu Mu did not stop and continued to move forward on his horse.
But he also calmly replied to her: "A little injury, no problem."
When you were on the battlefield, what kind of injuries did you not suffer?
He is not a delicate girl, so why should he still complain about this little injury?
Ruan Tang had no choice but to continue following him.
But along the way, she couldn't help but look at the wound.
I was afraid that he would bleed too much.
Fortunately, the blood stain on her back did not expand much along the way, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after the two walked one after another, they saw the exit of the mountain forest.
Ruan Tang was afraid that others would see them together, so he had no choice but to pull the reins and let the horse stop.
"Your Highness." She shouted towards Chu Mu's back, "I won't go back to the paddock. Can you please...please help me call out my maid?"
Chu Mu also stopped his horse, turned its head and walked to her side.
A pair of sword-browed eyebrows were frowned, and then he said coldly, "You treat me as your servant? Are you too brave?"
Let him, the majestic prince of Zhou, call her a maid?
Are you afraid that your head has been knocked silly?
Only then did Ruan Tang realize that he had gone too far.
Here, the sense of superiority between men and women is very strong. She is nothing, how can she be qualified to let a prince run errands for her?
"I'm sorry, I'm over the limit. Your Highness, can you give me a hand? I can dismount here and I can just walk back."
Chu Mu's face suddenly darkened, and his black eyes were filled with ice and snow.
"Being with this king will embarrass you that much?"
Ruan Tang saw the change in his expression and knew that he was going to be angry, so he wanted to avoid him disagreeing.
She could only say softly: "No, there are many people talking in the paddock. If I go back with His Highness, it is inevitable that there will be no bad rumors about Your Highness. Although His Highness may not mind, it is not good after all. Moreover, If it reaches the ears of the Empress Dowager, Her Highness will definitely have to explain it again, and I will feel sorry for inconveniencing Your Highness like this."
Chu Mu glanced at her and his expression became slightly better.
His mother did warn him repeatedly not to provoke Ruan Tang.
If today's incident were to reach her old man's ears, he would definitely be nagging her.
And he really didn't want to listen to his mother's nagging.
But he didn't dismount and do what she asked.
Then he turned the horse's head again and said, "Follow me."
After saying that, he walked in another direction, and Ruan Tang also discovered that it was not the way back to the paddock.
Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she didn't dare to disobey him anymore.
He has already compromised himself enough, and he cannot push himself further.
After following him for a while, we entered a bamboo forest.
This place is completely different from the mountains and forests just now.
This bamboo forest is deep and peaceful. Not only is there no fog, but the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Some martial arts movies she saw on TV in her previous life appeared in her mind. The male protagonist was dressed in white, holding a long sword, waving it wantonly in the bamboo forest, then flying around in a circle and landing.
Next, all the surrounding bamboos broke and fell down.
She couldn't help but look at Chu Mu in front of her. He was also dressed in white today. If he had a long sword and he danced, it would definitely look good.
As Ruan Tang thought about this, a silly smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
But her smile didn't last long, as she heard a series of strange sounds coming from not far away.
Chu Mu, who was riding in front of her, seemed to hear it too. He pulled the reins and stopped.
Then listen to the sound.
Ruan Tang didn't have the ear power like him, but he still listened with his ears pricked up.
After just listening for a while, a blush appeared on her face.
