CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 497 THE REBELLIOUS CHILD MOVES SILENTLY, SURELY UP TO NO GOOD_2

The horse may be excellent, but if I can’t use it, it’s all in vain.

Lu Yuan has already lost this round for sure.

Lu Yuan said, "Let’s make a deal, let me ride it for a bit."

The white horse panted heavily, its gaze fierce, and anyone could see it had exhausted too much strength, waiting for the next round of lethal attacks.

Prince Ming shouted, "Dear Nephew, forget about this horse! Go snatch the black horse! The black horse!"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you hear that? They’re telling me to find another horse, but I’m rather faithful."

The white horse’s heavy blow was the reply to Lu Yuan.

After the blow, everyone was dumbfounded.

Where is he?

Did he get knocked flying?

A Military General shouted, "Look! Under the horse’s belly!"

Lu Yuan was hanging onto the white horse in an ungainly fashion, using both hands and feet.

Sometimes hanging sideways, sometimes hanging upside down.

The white horse started crashing around wildly.

Crashing into the fence.

"Hey? I’m dodging!"

Crashing into shields.

"I’m dodging again!"

Crashing into wild horses.

Lu Yuan flipped over and stood gracefully atop the horse’s back.

Under the vast sky, a man and horse charging across the battlefield, exuding an indescribable heroic and gallant presence!

The crowd’s blood was boiling with excitement, having long forgotten his frail appearance when answering questions in the Jinluan Palace.

The astonishing strength and reflexes he displayed were comparable to any General present.

The Civil Servants were agitated, and the Military Generals’ faces were flushed red.

"Go for it! Go for it!"

Duke Jiang’s roar was deafening.

Prince Ming and Prince Fu were buzzed by the noise.

Sitting on the Emperor’s Platform, Emperor Liang surveyed the entire scene, observing both Lu Yuan and Lu Qi.

After being hit, Lu Qi and the black horse were separated. He quickly caught up with it and tamed it again.

The process was not easy, but with Lu Yuan’s highly entertaining performance, Lu Qi seemed a bit dull in comparison.

For this trial, Lu Qi only needed to ride the horse back to the stable and grab the Commander Flag to complete the first archery test.

But Lu Qi remained calm and did not move.

Prince Rui frowned, "What is Qi’er doing? Hurry and leave while Lu Yuan is taming the horse."

Prince Jin saw through his son’s intention. His son had been paying attention to the commotion between Lu Yuan and the white horse. He intended to wait until the white horse was completely exhausted before advancing.

Otherwise, if he made the first move, attracting the white horse’s attention, with Lu Yuan on its back catching up, the outcome would be uncertain.

"As expected of my son."

Prince Jin was very pleased with his composure and calmness.

Finally, after dozens of rounds of combat, the white horse stopped attacking and lay down exhausted.

Now is the time!

Lu Qi mounted the horse and swiftly fled the scene.

Duke Jiang leaped onto the table and shouted with arms akimbo, "Ah! The Commandery Prince has run! Prince Changsun, chase after him quickly!"

Prince Ming clenched his fists, "Brat, hurry up and chase him! Forget about this horse, can you switch to another one?"

Prince Fu said, "No, only that white horse can outrun that black stallion."

Lu Yuan squatted in front of the white horse, clutching a blade of grass in his mouth that he had picked up from somewhere: "That’s about enough, if we don’t go now, our home will be stolen."

The white horse ignored him.

Prince Ming and Duke Jiang were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the white horse’s thigh.

Everything happened too quickly for anyone to stop it.

King Qi was dumbfounded, "What is Lu Linyuan doing? Killing the horse because he can’t tame it?"

Prince Rui said, "Destroying it if he can’t obtain it, it seems our dear nephew doesn’t understand Your Majesty enough? Your Majesty despises such tyrannical behavior."

The Hanlin Academy Chief Scholar was dying of anxiety, "Oh no, wrong, it’s a mistake!"

It should never be, a thousand times over, should never kill a horse out of anger!

The Minister of Agriculture soberly said, "Wait, look at it."

Everyone fixed their eyes on it.

The white horse slowly stood up, locking eyes with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan deftly spun the dagger in his palm and skillfully sheathed it at his waist.

The Minister of Agriculture stared intently at the white horse and suddenly realized, "It’s a tick; it didn’t collapse from fatigue but because the tick caused its hind legs to go numb."

The Hanlin Academy Chief Scholar was astonished, "Are ticks that formidable?"

The Minister of Agriculture nodded, "That tick must have been in its body for some time, and the extreme exertion earlier caused the tick’s poison to spread rapidly."

The Hanlin Academy Chief Scholar’s face changed drastically, "What should be done?"

The Minister of Agriculture regretfully shook his head, "There’s no way, even if you kill the tick, the residual poison will remain in its body, not to mention the temperament of that horse, which you have all seen."

The Hanlin Academy Chief Scholar felt heartbroken, "Does this mean the Imperial Grandson will lose?"

Cabinet Minister Meng sighed regretfully.

Lu Yuan took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and sprinkled the detoxifying Hemostatic Powder on the white horse’s wound, "Hey, here’s your medicine, no sneaky attacks allowed."
