Chapter 110: Peach Blossom Swordsman
Murong Er took the lead and ran along the continent towards the south. Lu Chaoran, Kong Zhu and Kong Zhao drove their horses to chase behind. However, on the one hand, the mood of the three people was relatively low, and on the other hand, their horse skills were average, so their speed was much slower than that of Murong Er. They saw Murong Er riding a horse, quickly distancing himself from them, and in a blink of an eye, Murong Er's tall body turned into a small black dot.
"If we run on our own, we can be faster than these horses. Lu Chaoran said.
"But riding a horse doesn't require our physical strength. Kong Zhu saw Murong Er disappearing on a bend on a horse, so he said indignantly, "Hey, this uncle, he looks bold on the outside, but he didn't expect to be so good in his heart." He didn't ask us, he bought a horse, and I thought he had money, so he paid for it for us. After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be asking us to pay on credit. I don't know how much the loot will sell for this time, so don't make it worthless by then. ”
Kong Zhao sighed and said: "It's hard for us to make money, and we spend it quickly, he is equivalent to asking us to pay more than 200,000 yuan at once, and he pretends to be generous, and he doesn't even ask the price of the saddle bridle, and directly let the family not have to look for money, but that's our money! But he is the master, and we have to listen to him." ”
Kongzhu said: "He also said that if we were poisoned, he would just pull a ball of weeds on the side of the road and stuff it into our mouths, do you listen?"
"This...", Kong Zhao was suddenly asked, and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Murong Er said this kind of thing like a madman, if he even had to do what he told him honestly, wouldn't he be a fool?
As he was talking, he saw that at the turn of the road ahead, Murong Er rode his black horse back again, and while galloping back, he kept roaring loudly, and the roar came from afar, more than a mile away, still shaking their eardrums: "You three little cubs! Why are you slower than a turtle?! Don't talk nonsense, speed up! We have to try to get to Laojun Ferry before it gets dark! Rest on the boat at night." If we don't catch up, we will have to spend the night in Laojun, wasting the whole night's waterway!"
The three of them had no choice but to swing their whips and jerk their buttocks, making the speed of the three horses a little faster than before.
Along the way, Murong Er scolded like this, for a while he couldn't help but run away alone, and then he was so anxious to turn back and urge them, and sometimes he ran behind the three people, waving his whip and frantically pumping the horses for them, beating those horses to the point that they had to run wild at speeds beyond the limit. Lu Chaoran felt that these horses, driven by Murong Er's violent whipping, might not survive for a day, and they would die tonight. He really couldn't bear it, so he said to Murong Er: "Master Murong, these are ordinary horses, and they are also demons that eat grass and drink water, not steel and iron bones, and their physical strength is also limited, and they can't be forced indefinitely. If you continue to fight like this, the horse will die. If the horse dies, what will we ride tomorrow?"
Murong Er looked up to the sky and laughed, shouting, "How is it possible?!" After speaking, he continued to wave the horsewhip fiercely.
"How is it impossible?!" Lu Chaoran was really anxious at this time, and regardless of the other party's noble identity, he grabbed Murong Er's sleeve and shouted loudly: "Look, my horse is starting to foam at the mouth!"
Murong Er saw that Lu Chaoran's horse was indeed foaming at the mouth from the corners of his mouth, fortunately there were not too many, but this obviously showed that its physical strength was close to the critical point. Murong Er scolded angrily: "That stinky profiteer actually sold me this kind of horse, and when I come back after finishing this matter, I have to find him to reason! Everyone stop, let's go there and rest!" He beckoned and pointed to the woods by the side of the road with his horsewhip. On the other side of the forest stood a steep pinnacle with a mountain stream beneath the cliff. Just the right time for horses to drink water and rest.
When everyone heard this, their tense nerves were relaxed. They stopped slowly, then hurriedly dismounted, led the horses through the woods, and came to the side of the mountain stream, where they could drink water and rest. They themselves went upstream, carrying water from the mountain streams to drink. The horses were all gulping water in the mountain stream with their necks stretched, and their muscles trembled incessantly, and their fur was now wet with sweat and messy, and they no longer had the vigor they had when they first set out. Obviously, I ran all the way too fast just now.
Murong Er thrust the whip into his waist, and he pulled it out in the grass on the side of the road, without any choice, no matter what kind of grass it was, as long as it was at hand, he uprooted it, pulled out a large handful of grass, kneaded it with two big hands like a fan, and finally pinched out four fist-sized grass balls. He strode to the edge of the mountain stream, pulled the bridles of the horses, and stuffed a ball of grass into the mouths of each horse. The horses obediently chewed and swallowed the grass dumplings.
Murong Er lifted his legs, stepped on the horse again, and shouted, "Have you rest!!ed enough?"
The three friends had just taken a few sips of water, and were about to discuss whether to brush the horse to cool down the horse, when they heard Murong Er's urging, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Master Murong, it's not two minutes, right? We don't care, these horses must rest for a while. ”
"No need to rest, I've pulled some grass for them to eat, they can't die. Murong Er said with great certainty.
"It's useless to just eat grass, Master, they must have enough rest!" Although he was very speechless, Lu Chaoran still had to remind Murong Er. He really didn't know what to do with this anxious Murong Master, and he really wanted to have a big bucket of ice water that could pour Murong Er from head to toe and calm down his overexcited nerves.
"What are you kidding? The grass pulled by my peach blossom swordsman will be useless? Do you think I'm joking?" Murong Er's two thick eyebrows suddenly twisted, his eyebrow bones were very high, and his two fine eyes were like electricity under the eyebrow bones, and he took turns looking at the three little friends aggressively.
The eyes of Lu Chaoran, Kong Zhu and Kong Zhao still showed disbelief.
Murong Er suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and then said, "If you don't believe it, it's no wonder you." After all, your cultivation is too low, and the people you have seen have experienced too few things. Okay, then I'll take a moment to talk to you and convince me completely. This is the first and last time. There will be many days on the road in the future, if you keep grinding and being suspicious like this, I can't stand it!"
"Master Murong, it's not that we don't believe you. But you look at this horse... This horse..."Lu Chaoran pointed to the horse, unable to continue. For he found that the four horses did not show any tiredness at this time, but were all in good spirits and with their heads held high.
Murong Er hugged his shoulders, couldn't help laughing, and looked at the three little friends triumphantly.
