Chapter 123
“That is …” Leng Yuefeng didn’t know how to reply. The soldiers standing behind him stared with wide eyes when they saw Leng Ning. When had they ever seen her like this? It was even more shocking than seeing a ghost, but for He Jin, it was numbing. After all, every time the general met the crown prince, it was not normal … He was already used to it …
Leng Yufeng had thought that he would give this horse to the crown prince on the day of his birth, but now, the crown prince had already discovered what he should do. He didn’t want to hide anything from the crown prince, but he also wanted to give him a pleasant surprise.
The smile in Shang Wuxin’s eyes faded a little. “Forget it, I’m just asking around!”
Leng Yufeng noticed that the crown prince did not seem happy. He steeled his heart and immediately said, “That’s my birthday present for the crown prince. I was planning to give it to him on the day of his birthday, but I didn’t want to be seen by the crown prince!” As Leng Yufeng spoke, he felt a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at the crown prince, then started to worry whether the crown prince would like this gift or not …
Her birthday was not going to come any later. It had been so long that he had forgotten about it, but he did not expect that in such a short period of time, there would still be people who remembered his birthday, and had even prepared his birthday present so far away.
Shang Wuxin did not know how to describe her feelings. He felt as if his heart had been thrown into a pool of warm water, allowing his withered heart to slowly recover …
Leng Yufeng was a little embarrassed by the straightforward gaze of the crown prince, but fortunately, he could feel that the crown prince was in a good mood. He looked at the crown prince, who was much shorter than him, and asked hopefully, “Wuxin, are you looking now?” Although he really wanted to let the Crown Prince see the gift on the day of his birthday, now that the Crown Prince knew about it, he didn’t feel any mystery anymore …
Shang Wuxin could see the worry in Leng Yufeng’s eyes, and explained, “It has been a long time since I have had a birthday celebration, and I have never received a birthday present. Actually, I am very happy to see this present today or the day of my birthday. Yufeng, I am very happy, very happy!”
It was not “I” but an ordinary “I”. In this world of ice and snow, she had really put this man who was cold and didn’t talk much into her heart. Although her heart hadn’t entered her heart yet, she had opened a window for him …
He did not know what he was feeling bad about. He only knew that this kind of crown prince did not have a cold indifference or ruthlessness. He was just like a child who had received a gift. He was so innocent and pure that he made people want to hold him in their hands and put the best in the world under her feet for her to choose from …
Leng Yufeng hugged the crown prince, who was smiling brilliantly with endless sorrow, into his arms. He forcefully used his head to hit the crown prince’s chest. He didn’t feel any pain, but he also felt a genuine pain from his heart, a heartache for the crown prince …
Leng Yufeng’s embrace was warm with the scent of grass. Shang Wuxin could even hear the rapid and irregular heartbeat of Leng Yufeng. At that moment, she felt as if all her lingering nightmares were far away from her.
In a split-second, Shang Wuxin left Leng Yufeng’s embrace, and the soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to look. They were subordinates that Leng Yuefeng trusted and would not betray today’s incident. Of course, no one dared to betray Leng Yufeng …
He thought that if the crown prince had not pushed him away, he would have hugged and looked at his subordinates only to discover that they were all lowering their heads without saying anything. Leng Yufeng was slightly relieved; after all, these people who had followed him for so many years were people he trusted …
Shang Wuxin said seriously, “Leng Yufeng, thank you!”
“It’s good as long as you’re happy!” Leng Yufeng also smiled. His appearance was originally very resolute, but when he wasn’t laughing, he gave off a very solemn and cold feeling. However, when he smiled, it was very clear …
“Does the Crown Prince want to see the gifts?” Leng Yufeng asked. He already knew that no matter when the gift was given, the crown prince would already be very happy. If that was the case, why not let the crown prince be happy earlier?!
Shang Wuxin nodded. Both of them walked towards the carriage that was surrounded by soldiers. “Prince, be careful!” Then He Ruijin lifted the curtain of the carriage, allowing Shang Wuxin to see the gift in the carriage.
Lying inside the horse carriage was a pure black horse. Both the color of the horse’s fur and the muscles of the horse’s hooves were the best. More importantly, the horse’s eyes were extremely bright, as if it didn’t even lower its head after being trapped.
“Crown Prince, this is a one in a hundred year old Wild Horse. He has been wandering in the remote mountains and forests for so many years that no one has been able to get hold of him …” He looked at the Crown Prince and felt that he was different, so he didn’t disagree. After all, the General’s reputation was always broken sleeves!]
“Raise the gold!” Indeed, in order to obtain this horse, he suffered a lot, but he did not even need the crown prince to know that he was willing to do all this for the crown prince. He did not need any achievements, but only hoped that the crown prince would be happy and enjoy …
Even if He Rui Jin didn’t say anything, Shang Wuxin knew that this horse was not easy to come by. This horse had never been tamed, and the tendons it had were not horses that could be raised in an ordinary horse farm. More importantly, Shang Wuxin had heard of this wild horse, but he had never expected such a rare horse to be found and given to him by Leng Yufeng.
“Does the Crown Prince like it?” As Leng Yufeng watched the crown prince approach the wild horse, he stroked its fur. This wild horse was really difficult to tame, and since Leng Yufeng would not tame it, he used some medicine to control the horse and brought it back to the capital. If it wasn’t for the medicine, he would not have been able to bring the horse back …
“Very much!” Shang Wuxin looked at the horse comfortably, but the dissatisfaction in her eyes was obvious. She turned to Leng Yufeng and asked, “Have you taken the medicine?” In fact, from the very first moment she saw that something was wrong with the horse …
“Yes, I was afraid the horses would hurt the horses if they didn’t listen to me, so I took some medicine!” Leng Yufeng also stepped forward and stroked the horse’s fur. Unfortunately, the horse’s nose was heavily breathed out by Leng Yufeng’s touch. It was obvious that he did not care about Leng Yufeng’s touch. Thus, he withdrew his hand without any awkwardness …
Shang Wuxin extended her hand, and Leng Yuefeng gave the antidote to Shang Wuxin. This was a good way to recover this wild horse …
Shang Wuxin put the medicine into the horse’s mouth, then he pulled the horses off the horse carriage using the reins that Leng Yufeng and the rest had prepared beforehand. Fortunately, the horses were still weak, otherwise they would not have gotten off the horse so easily.
“Yu Feng, are you interested in competing?” Shang Wuxin looked at the horse slowly recovering. The horse seemed to have recovered almost to the point of wanting to break the reins in Shang Wuxin’s hands. However, Shang Wuxin did not let go of the horse but preferred this horse more.
When Leng Yufeng saw that the horse was afraid that it would hurt the crown prince, he blamed himself. After hearing the crown prince’s words, he led his horse over. “Crown Prince, it’s my honor to have you as my guest!” Leng Yufeng’s thoughts were very simple. With him by her side, no matter how wild this horse was, it would not be able to harm the crown prince …
Leng Yufeng gave a few instructions to He Rujin, and the soldiers left with He Rujin. In the entire snow, there were only two people and two horses. Leng Yufeng stared at the horse carefully, then looked at the Crown Prince’s skinny arms and legs and felt a burst of regret.
When the horse tried to break free, Shang Wuxin leaped onto the horse and galloped like a madman. Shang Wuxin held onto the reins tightly and pinched the horse’s abdomen, never letting go no matter how much the horse jolted and jolted.
Leng Yufeng followed behind the horse as it leaped onto the horse of the crown prince. He watched as the horse crazily tried to throw the crown prince off his back. His heart trembled with fear, but at the same time, he was filled with anticipation, hoping that the crown prince could tame this horse …
The horse saw that it could not shake off the man on it. It was furious, jumping a few meters into the air. Most people could not take the bumpy ride, but Shang Wuxin only tightened her grip on the reins.
The horse kept on running for a long time, doing more difficult movements. No matter how good Shang’s temper was, he had lost interest due to the jolting. Moreover, her temper had never been good, so she and the horse had been deadlocked for several hours.
Shang Wuxin tightened his grip on the horse’s neck. Shang Wuxin’s strength was not great, but her kung fu was not bad. The horse screamed and galloped, but Shang Wuxin was not the least bit distressed. He watched the horse slowly grow weak, but he still struggled with all his might.
“Are you convinced or not!” Shang Wuxin leaned close to the horse and yelled in its ears, his voice full of arrogance and coldness. His eyes, which were as cold as a deep pond, stared straight into the horse’s eyes.
After a while, the horse quieted down. It started to walk slowly in the snow without struggling or letting go of the horse’s hooves. Shang looked at the horse for a while before letting go of his neck and started stroking the horse’s head.
Leng Yufeng stepped forward and said with a smile, “Congratulations!” From the start, he was rather impressed by Leng Yuefeng’s ability to tame a horse without any intentions. From the softest horse at the start to the toughest horse at the end, there were methods of endurance and decisiveness that ordinary people could not achieve. Of course, he could also do it …
“What a good horse!” Shang did not have the heart to praise, then looked at the horse and asked, “What do you think the name should be?”
Seeing the crown prince’s distressed expression, Leng Yufeng added, “The name given by the crown prince should be the best!” He knew that the crown prince had married that fox from the crown prince’s residence into a white name. When he found out, he laughed for a long time …
Shang looked at the unruly horse comfortingly and thought for a moment before saying, “Then call it black, it’s just the opposite of Bai’s!” After saying that, he probed, “Black?”
Hei Zhi ignored him. Shang’s hand was close to his horse’s neck and still exuded a cold air. Hei Zhi whinnied in reply and nodded with satisfaction. “Hei Zhi really likes my name!”
“Pu!” Leng Yufeng could not help but laugh out loud. When he saw the crown prince looking back at him, he hurriedly said, “Black’s name, alright!”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The more they laughed, the happier they were. They rode their horses and started the race in this world of ice and snow …
