Chapter 13: Heavenly Machines (7)
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what did you think of?" I smiled slightly: "Wanyun, I thought of what its name is." "What's the name?" the two men asked in unison.
"Red Rabbit!" "Red Rabbit?" Seeing that they still didn't understand, I explained in detail: "Look at how strong this horse is, just now dragging several people around, with such physical strength, it will definitely be as agile and fast as a rabbit when walking!"
"Okay, okay, that's the name!" Wanyun clapped her hands and smiled, ran to the horse's side, and when she saw her master coming, the horse immediately turned around and looked at Wanyun. Wanyun stroked the horse's head and said, "Listen to the horse, your name is Chitu." ”
"Chitu!" Wanyun shouted, and the horse chirped, "Chitu!!" This time Wanyun's voice was a few decibels higher, and the horse's chirping was also much higher. "Red Rabbit !!" accompanied by the hoarse call of Wanyun, the horse raised its front hooves and roared to the sky!
Wanyun turned over and rode the good horse of the Western Regions out of the stable, heading straight for the camp gate. "Wanyun, where are you going?" I shouted at her back. "I'm going out for a walk with Chitu—" Wan Yun replied without replying.
"Sister Yun, wait for me, clamp the saddle—" Yuan Zhiyu hurriedly mounted his mount and chased after him. Watching the backs of the two disappear from sight, a wry smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "I really can't imagine that a little girl Wanyun can not only tame a fierce horse, but also make a man with a fierce horse-like character, this world is really amazing, it really deserves to be brine and tofu - one thing to one thing." ”
"Why are you alone?" Just as I was about to go back first, a hearty laugh suddenly came out from behind me, and Yuan Zhize walked over slowly surrounded by several entourage. "Meet the prince!" I stepped forward and saluted slowly, originally wanting to ask him how well he slept last night, but I couldn't help but ask when I saw too many people.
"No need to be polite, please get up. Yuan Zhize made a flat movement, looked around and said, "Huh, it's really strange, I just heard it in the tent and it seems to be very lively, why are you alone when you come over and see it?"
"Fortunately, the prince came in time, otherwise even I wouldn't have been able to see it. I said with a smile. "Really, what about Wanyun and Zhiyu? Aren't they there?" Miss Wanyun wanted to ride a horse, and His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu went out with her. "I'll tell you the truth.
"This girl!" Yuan Zhize snorted, walked up to me and said, "There is no official business tonight, let's have dinner together." "The prince's family banquet, will the folk girl go..."Thinking that Yuan Zhiyu would definitely go, I hesitated.
"What are you afraid of, and you don't lack a pair of chopsticks. The main thing is that Tanma has sent good news, and I want to celebrate it tonight. "What's the good news?" Yuan Zhize's words piqued my interest. Yuan Zhize smiled slightly: "The soldiers and horses in Sichuan have already left the Sword Pavilion yesterday, and they can meet us tomorrow, and we can return to Hanzhong tomorrow, so we don't have to suffer in this ravine." ”
"Is that right? Does that mean that the bureau that the prince has done has been a great success?" Yuan Zhize bowed: "Well, it is basically successful, the next step is to order the soldiers and horses of all roads in the Han Dynasty, and go to the border to hunt together with the military horses brought by Zhiyu..."
"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!" I couldn't help but interject: "Lord Wang, you are too thoughtful, the Qiang people are completely led by your nose, you must not dare to invade my border again, right?" Yuan Zhize was also in a good mood, nodded and said: "I dare not guarantee that I dare not come to attack, but I finally broke off the idea of the Qiang people and the Nanban Alliance." ”
"Brother!" Wanyun's voice suddenly came from behind him, he didn't expect them to come back so soon, seeing Yuan Zhize, Wanyun turned over and dismounted, and ran over with Chitu. "Look at you wild, your face is covered with sweat. Yuan Zhize stepped forward and wiped the beads of sweat on Wanyun's forehead with a handkerchief.
Wanyun's cheeks were slightly red, and her chest was heaving greatly, it seemed that the distance she had just run was not short. "Brother, look, this is my horse, its name is Chitu, which is the name that Sister Xiaoxiao gave me. Wanyun didn't care about resting, and hurriedly took Yuan Zhize's hand and came to Chitu.
"Oh, yes, it's half a head higher than my brother's snow. Yuan Zhize made a gesture. "The name is also very good, Chitu, it really deserves to be the name of a talented girl. Yuan Zhize looked at me with a smile, I was a little embarrassed, and secretly thanked Luo Guanzhong ten thousand times in my heart.
"Ouch, I'm tired to death-" After a while, Yuan Zhiyu also rushed back, threw the reins and whip into the hands of the guards as soon as he got out of the stable, and said breathlessly while holding his stomach: "Sister Yun, you are running too fast, I can't keep up." Yuan Zhize came to Chitu, held the saddle in his hand and quipped: "Wanyun, it's enough for you to have this good horse, go home and sell the three horses in your family, and exchange the money to save a dowry for yourself, haha,,,"
"Brother, you, it's so annoying. Wanyun played with a few strands of long hair between her sideburns and said embarrassedly. "Where did you get such a good horse?" Facing Yuan Zhize's question, Wan Yunchao was gasping for breath, and Yuan Zhiyu angrily said, "It was given to me by His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu." Yuan Zhize nodded thoughtfully, looking the red rabbit horse up and down.
Suddenly, I noticed that Yuan Zhize had a look of surprise on his face, his hands were frozen in mid-air, and he muttered, "This horse... Why do you look so familiar..."As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, making everyone present stunned.
After a while, a cronie behind Yuan Zhize seemed to see something, stepped forward hesitantly, and whispered: "Look at the little one, this horse... It seems to be... It seems to be the horse of the Yellow Sparrow. ”
