Would You Like to Have a Drink

Chapter 48.2 

At that time, Mu Yuanlong thought that the Third Prince would be like those hypocritical people, and say “Sorry, I was heavy-handed”, then asked him if he would like to follow him.

Unexpectedly, after Zong Luo pulled him up from the ground, the topic changed instead.

“Still dissatisfied or not?”

The prince in white smiled clearly, like pine and bamboo, but the words he said were astonishingly conceited, “If still dissatisfied, I’ll just beat you until you are not.”

Mu Yuanlong opened his eyes wide.

At that moment, he clearly realized that this would be the person he would follow for a lifetime.

In any case, His Highness is not weak. Like now, it’s also the same.

It’s not that Mu Yuanlong was ignorant of the pros and cons, drawing on the advantages and avoid disadvantages.

It’s just that he swore that he would only be loyal to one person throughout his life as a soldier, and definitely would never change again.

A group of people mounted their horses and drove towards the barracks in the outskirts.

The news of the return of the Third Prince had spread to every corner of the Imperial City. Early in the morning, countless people were eagerly waiting in front of the prince’s mansion, and the things in the basket covered the steps. The steward and the doorman had no choice but to accept it silently, and when the time comes, go to the south of the city and serve porridge, it would also be considered as making the best use of everything.

Zong Luo went through the back door without alarming anyone.

The Xuan Cavalry barracks received the news early, and everyone stood on the snow in the barracks’ martial arts arena.

Impressively, they exuded a serious and solemn demeanor, with the appearance of waiting for the commanding general for a roll call before a battle.

The only difference was that after seeing the man on the horse, their eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

“Your Highness, everyone is here. When they heard that you were coming this morning, they all stood guard here.” 

Mu Yuanlong knew that His Royal Highness could not see with his eyes now. Having not read a few books of sages and men of virtue seriously, he began to desperately search for adjectives, trying to describe the scene in front of him in words. “The brothers are all wearing winter clothes newly bought this year, standing in front of the barracks.”

“I don’t know how much Your Highness remembers, but this set of winter clothes is still the blueprint that Your Highness handed over the year before last in Hangu Pass. In the past year, the imperial court allocated us some extra military pay, and the Kaogong Office also updated our equipment once again.” (TL: where weapons are made and tested)

It was a perfect appearance of a primary school student’s oral composition.

Zong Luo’s original sadness was all dispersed, and was left speechless within.

He was about to dismount when he suddenly heard a long neigh coming from the stable.

Immediately afterwards, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, like a whirlwind and it rolled in front of him.

Zong Luo felt his boot hanging on the side of the horse being gently bitten.

“Zhao Yebai, don’t be rude to His Highness!”

Mu Yuanlong hurriedly stepped forward, but Zhao Yebai turned a deaf ear to it, and still faced the maroon horse that the prince in white was currently riding on, puffing air, with a completely provocative appearance.

“Don’t pull, don’t pull, I’m coming down now.”

Zong Luo was rather dumbfounded.

Only then was Zhao Yebai satisfied, released his boot, and obediently stood aside.

This famous horse gifted by the Ghost Valley Master was extremely humane in nature. Since Zong Luo was identified as its owner, Zong Luo was not allowed to ride other horses in front of it, and if so, it would cause trouble for a while.

A horse can also compete for favor like this, it is indeed a fantasy world, too magical.

Zong Luo stroked the majestic mane of the white horse.

At this moment, this scene, seeing the people and the horse who died because of him in the previous life again, it was inevitable not to feel upset in the bottom of the heart.

Just then, at this point, Zhao Yebai suddenly raised its front hooves high and neighed towards the sky.

Seeing this, the captain who was in charge of feeding Zhao Yebai, couldn’t help but support his forehead. “The goshawk of the King of Beining is here again.”

Since the return of the King of Beining to the capital, his goshawk, which was free-ranging and ate from all over the place, would come to play with Zhao Yebai at regular times every day.

Of course, for the ugly goshawk, it’s called play, but for Zhao Yebai, it’s a provocation.

After all, with extra wings, no matter how fast Zhao Yebai ran, it couldn’t compare to the one flying in the sky.

In the past, when Zong Luo was here, in order to protect his beloved horse, he directly drew his bow and shot an arrow, firing three arrows at once, and nailing down its retreat. After the goshawk had its tail feathers plucked once, it became much more honest, and it didn’t dare to provoke this beautiful white horse with its owner.

Later, when Zhao Yebai lost its master, the goshawk did not change, and returned to its old ways.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yebai’s temper was also explosive, and would be fooled at the slightest provocation, often chasing the goshawk for ten miles, and returning angry.

Zong Luo was about to say something when suddenly his expression changed and he looked back vigilantly.

He didn’t have time to seize the Qixing Longyuan, thus he took out a sword from its scabbard from Mu Yuanlong’s waist, and spun it around the palm of his hand, enough to cut off the arrow that pierced through the air.

Fortunately, this arrow didn’t aim at anyone, rather than shooting to kill, it was more like teasing.

“Who?!”

This was the barracks, and with an order, all the Xuan Cavalry soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths and were ready to take action.

The goshawk circled in the sky and landed on its master’s shoulder.

And its owner was riding on another horse, followed by a vertical neat lined team.

It was the Tianji Army of the King of Beining.

The numerous Xuan Cavalry men’s eyes immediately changed.

“Ah~, the shot missed.”

The man on the horse slowly retracted his bow, with the most hypocritical smile on his face. “This King is currently training his soldiers, therefore, the Third Highness shouldn’t blame me for the inadvertent disturbance, right?”
