Chapter 576 (1/2)
Snowflakes all over the sky dye the outline of the capital with a layer of quiet white.
This is the first snow of this year. The guards of Wang Cheng's guards have put thick fur coats on their armor. The spears of the guards are also covered with light frost in this weather. The officer went back and forth through the gate, rubbing his hands and breathing from time to time, and then cursing the damned cold weather in a low voice.
This year's snow seems to have come much earlier than usual. What's more strange is that the imperial capital in the middle of the mainland has fallen heavy snow, but in the north of the mainland, there is no snow in the Kaspersky line.
A burst of northwest wind, so that soldiers can not help but shrink their heads again and again, impatiently looking at the hourglass on the city gate, calculating their shift time.
There are not many people on the road. In this weather, it is said that some sections of the official road outside the city have been blocked by heavy snow. Last night, a team of hapless guards were sent out to shovel snow. It's said that many caravans are blocked in the Acropolis more than ten miles away. It seems that they can't enter the city until the snow on the road is cleared.
At this time, a group of cavalry came from the distance of the main road. The leading knight was dressed in leather armour. In such cold weather, he didn't wear a fur coat, but just put a bright red cape on the outside. He rode his horse and was very powerful.
And nearly a hundred riders were followed. All the riders on the horses straightened their backs and carried long bows behind them. The cavalry had a reserved and proud face. After the horses, they were followed by hounds running in the snow.
These cavalry in the horse, but vaguely surrounded a man in the middle, in the middle of a group of pure white fur of the big horse. At first glance, it was a good foal from the northwest of the mainland. A small figure on the horse was wearing a golden fur coat, a leather case, and a delicate short bow hanging behind him. Surrounded by the crowd, the man was noble, and his mouth was slightly colder than the weather.
This cavalry is not close to the gate. The gate of the garrison saw the flag, immediately bent down and knelt down.
Among the shouts of ”long live your majesty”, the knight on the horse rushed in like a whirlwind. The horse's hooves trampled, and the wet mud and ice on the ground splashed on the faces and necks of the kneeling soldiers, but no one dared to say a word.
After the cavalry came into town. Some officers looked back at the city and sighed in a low voice: ”I'm afraid our little majesty is not in a good mood today.”
”I'm afraid to go out hunting in such a snowy day. There's nothing to gain Another officer guessed and frowned: ”Your Majesty goes out hunting in the city every day these days. It seems that there are more times...”
”Shut up The officer of a higher rank immediately changed color and said coldly, ”it's about the royal family. Is that what you and I can talk about? ”
Prince Charles... Oh, no, it should be Emperor Charles. Surrounded by many knights, he dashed all the way up the long street of the capital. Pedestrians heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance and immediately scattered.
After the snow. The road became more and more muddy. At the corner of a street, I suddenly heard the horse hissing, but it seemed that he was trampling on the thick ice and snow, and suddenly his feet slipped
With a plop, Charlie on the horse fell off. Fortunately, he grasped the reins firmly and hung on the horse. But it didn't land.
There are already good skills nearby, and the imperial army is getting more and more active. He took the reins and calmed the frightened horse. He quickly helped the noble little emperor down.
After the young emperor Charles landed, his young face was full of anger. Suddenly, he pushed away the Knights around him, grabbed the whip and pulled towards his mount!
”Beast!! Beast!! You dare to bully me!! You bully me, too! ”
He was still young and weak, but his horse was still hissing with pain. The knight next to him saw his majesty beat the horse, but he didn't dare to stop it. He just dismounted and stood by.
After a whiplash, Charlie gasped for breath and looked at the faces of his subordinates. There was a haze on his young face, but he took a deep breath, managed to squeeze out a smile and said slowly, ”this horse startles me. You don't have to be so afraid. Well, in such cold weather, don't stand here and drink the wind. Go back to the palace early. Everyone who goes hunting with me today will be rewarded. ”
As he said this, he looked at his horse with hatred. There were many bloodstains on the horse's white fur, but he couldn't ride it. The head of the knight next to him quickly led his horse to the little emperor.
”Go back and kill the horse. There is no game today. Let's share the meat.” Little Charlie said faintly.
There is also a reckless knight in the side film. He thinks he is smart and reminds him in a low voice: ”Your Majesty, this horse is your favorite... It's a gift from the Duke of tulip...”
Charlie, who had already turned over, his face suddenly stagnated. He looked at the talkative man with anger, but his face immediately gave birth to a smile: ”Oh, yes, it's a gift from the teacher. However, if the trainer fails in his duty, he will be punished when he goes back. ”
