Chapter 23 XXIII
twenty-three
When Xu You's heart was experiencing hesitation and struggle, the jujube red horse suddenly snorted, and flicked his tail impatiently, Xu You was shocked, and immediately hugged his head and ran away, his heart was anxious, and his feet were a little unstable, kicking the clod on the ground, "Bang-" The ground fell to the ground at once, and he rolled several times in succession, and his head was dizzy, and then he staggered and stood up with four small broken legs.
She shook her fur, shook off the dust and grass leaves on her body, and stared cautiously at the red horse, for fear that it would be angry and give herself another hoof, but at the same time she still had a thief heart, and slowly circled around the red horse, pretending to be looking at the scenery, while glancing at the horse from time to time, looking for an opportunity to climb up its thighs.
The jujube red horse was quite vigilant at first, and its sharp and beautiful eyes kept staring at Xu You, and after staring for a while, it probably felt that this little thing did not dare to act recklessly, and finally looked away impatiently, blinked, and began to nap.
Waiting for this time - it was too late and that was fast, Xu Yu kicked his hind legs, like a sharp arrow out of the sheath, and rushed towards the thighs of the jujube red horse like lightning, and the two front paws hooked the short hair on the horse's thighs, and rushed up hard, and the bones got on the horse's back, and pulled the mane of the jujube red horse.
She overestimated her claws a little, and at the same time miscalculated the fierceness of the jujube red horse, this grumpy guy couldn't stand any aggression, not to mention, Xu Yu hadn't lightly slashed off a few of its manes.
"Hiss-" A horse roared, and the jujube red horse kicked his legs angrily, snorting his nose while trying to throw Xu You down, his movements were rude and fierce.
If it was thrown to the ground and stepped on it again, she would be able to talk to Meng Po directly. She didn't want to die young at all, although she was just a cat now, but this little life was quite moist, it was much better than a soul, even if she could make sure that she would wear it again, and that she would not wear it next time as a pig or a bug that died in the twilight of life?
As soon as he thought of this, Xu You felt bad, and his hands became more and more vigorous, and he couldn't wait to even use the strength to eat milk, only to scratch the jujube red horse so angry that he jumped straight up, and then simply spread his hooves and ran wildly.
There was a commotion in the horse farm, and immediately there were horses of unknown conditions running with the jujube red horses, rampage, and the servants of the imperial horse supervisor were colorless.
"Surprised, surprisedβ"
Xu You heard someone shouting at the top of her voice, but soon, those voices were drowned out by more noise and shouting, and what was even more terrifying was the whirring wind in her ears. She clung to the long mane of the red horse, like a kite that had lost its direction, and threw it here and there, threatening to die in the horse's hooves at any moment.
She had no memory of how long she had been thrown on horseback, as if every second had been like a year, and she was even very composed, staring at her two front paws with wide eyes, and paying all her attention to them. It was the most thrilling and exciting day of her cat's life, and it was just fun.
"Huh-" She couldn't help but roar loudly, shouting out all her negative emotions during this time, her voice was almost hoarse, and the voice was extremely weird, so weird that Xu You even felt the jujube red horse under her tremble......
The jujube red horse ran in the horse farm for a long time, until Xu You suddenly felt a sinking behind her, and a person jumped up, sat firmly on the horse's back, and held the reins with a firm and powerful hand, and the jujube red horse suddenly let out a painful neigh, raised its front hooves and jumped a few times, and finally stopped.
The danger has passed, Xu You stiffened his neck and slowly turned around to see who her savior was, and looked up, yo, she actually knew her!
This surnamed Wei is one of the emperor's guards, Xu You occasionally sees him from a distance in the palace, and the closest time she touched into the imperial study caused them to be beaten by the emperor, because this Wei guard looks older and more serious than other guards, and looks particularly worried about the country and the people, and it looks special among the young and handsome guards, so Xu You is particularly impressed.
Wei ...... Wei Ye ......" A group of eunuchs ran over panting, saluted the Wei guards, and thanked: "It's a shame that Wei Ye is here today, otherwise, if this horse really makes trouble, I'm afraid it will be a big matter." Master Wei, you saved our lives. β
The leading eunuch's face became fast, and the general thanked the Wei guards with a sincere face, and immediately put on a fierce expression and scolded Xu You, "Damn little beast, is this the place where you should come, I have to peel off your skin." β
Not only dogs can take advantage of people, but cats too.
Seeing that an acquaintance was there, Xu You was not afraid of him at all, she looked at the eunuch coldly with a paralyzed face, and her eyes were quite solemn. The eunuch was furious at the sight of her, and he didn't dare to speak for a moment. However, Wei guards broke the siege first, and said in a low voice with a straight face: "This is the cat of Ruiwang's Mansion." β
He was concise and to the point, and did not add fuel to the fire to say how precious this cat was, but those eunuchs were not stupid, although the place where they were on an errand was far away from the palace, but they were all like mirrors in their hearts. If it is an ordinary pet, it makes no sense that the guards around the emperor will recognize it at a glance, I am afraid that this mischievous little ancestor is not just an ordinary cat in the Ruiwang Mansion, maybe there are two respects in front of the emperor, otherwise, the Wei guards, who have always been silent, can speak for it patiently?
Since it was the cat of the Rui Wangfu, these eunuchs didn't dare to scold anymore, so they laughed twice, salivating and boasting completely disregarding the facts: "It's really a good cat." β
Xu You felt that she was a little embarrassed.
Wei guard's face was stiff, he turned over and dismounted, looking like he was leaving. If he just leaves, who will help her ride the horse? Xu Yu was in a hurry, Tian shamelessly jumped into his arms, and the clothes on his chest were tightly grabbed by his two paws.
Wei Guard: "......"
The eunuchs bowed their heads and pretended not to see.
Guard Wei had never encountered such a situation, and he hadn't even thought about it. He knows his appearance, at best he is steady and solemn, and the direct point is that he looks old and serious, and he doesn't like it when he looks unpleasant, and most people feel that it is a little distance, so that his marriage is not very smooth, and the people who look at him will beat the drum in their hearts when they see him, saying that he is not like the woman's husband, but like a strict father, and even cats and dogs usually avoid him, as if he is a plague god who scares people to death.
It's still the first thing to "throw yourself into the arms" like today, especially this one is still a soft and beautiful white cat. Wei Guard didn't react for a while, his hands and feet couldn't move, and he was stupid for a long time, until Xu Yu pulled him on his chest twice, and then he slowly and carefully wrapped the cat around with his arm.
"Meow-" Xu Yu snorted at him. In fact, she didn't expect Wei Guard's heart to be soft at all, after all, this burly and tall guy didn't seem to be very easy to talk, but when he moved slightly, Xu You immediately noticed it, don't look at this Wei Guard's serious and old-fashioned appearance, in fact, he is still a very gentle person.
"Dry ...... Why? Guard Wei's face was red, a little excited, and he carefully rubbed Xu You's head with his palm, well, it was very soft.
Xu You began to "meow" again, staring at the red horse with a pair of round eyes, and then looked at the Wei guards with antiquity.
Wei Wei felt that the sun must be too big today and he was a little dizzy, otherwise how could he think that this cat wanted to ride a horse? It's weird!
Xu You shouted again, and seeing that the Wei guards still had a constipated expression, he simply broke free from his arms and jumped onto the horse, and then flicked his tail gently, once, twice, and his round eyes stared at the Wei guards without blinking, full of anticipation.
It really wants to ride a horse!
Wei Guards sleepwalked closer, stunned for a moment, licked their dry lips, and ordered the eunuch on the side: "Go...... Go get a saddle and put it on. β
The eunuchs laughed and took the saddle over, and put the saddle in place, when they heard a distant call, "...... Lao Wei, Lao Wei, why don't you leave? What are you doing? β
Xu You immediately became nervous, raised his head and stared at Wei Guards cautiously. At this time, he won't be called away, right?
The Wei guard didn't move, he was silent for a few seconds and then turned over and got on his horse, and then said to the visitor: "You go back first, I'll take it for two laps before leaving." β
"He? Which he? The young guard approached, and at last he saw the white cat sitting on horseback, and his eyes widened, "Isn't this the ...... cat that caused them all to be struck?"
Xu You turned his head and glanced at him, then immediately turned his head around, stretched out the soft cushion and gently patted the back of Wei Guard's hand, urging him a little anxiously, "Meow meow meow-"
The Wei guards were unbelievable and thought that they understood, so they clamped the horse's belly with their legs, shook the reins, and the red horse ran away.
Drive! Xu Yu was overjoyed.
The young guard watched this strange combination drift away, still feeling that he was dreaming, and drifted all the way back to the Funing Palace in a daze, and when he entered the palace gate, he was mixed by the threshold and fell to the ground solidly.
"Guard, what's wrong with you?" Liu Gonggong came out of the hall well, and as soon as he came out of the courtyard, he saw this one, and couldn't help but be surprised and surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him while asking this.
The Fu guard was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, he stood up quickly, and explained awkwardly: "I'm thinking about something else all the way......" As he spoke, he remembered the appearance of Lao Wei sitting on a horse with a cat with a straight face, and couldn't help laughing, holding his stomach and saying, "Ouch laughs so much that my stomach hurts." β
Gonggong Liu also laughed, "What is the funny thing that Fu Guards encountered, say it and let me follow Le Yile?" β
The Fu guards didn't mean to cover up for Lao Wei at all, and even added fuel and vinegar to tell Gonggong Liu about the Wei guards leading the cat to ride a horse, "...... Ouch, Father-in-law Liu, didn't you see that Lao Wei's face is usually so tight, as if we owe him money and haven't paid it back, and now facing the cat, the eyes are so gentle that it makes people's hearts hairy, it's terrible......"
Gonggong Liu's face twitched, and he asked again: "Can you see clearly, is it the cat in Ruiwangfu?" β
"That's right, we all know the cat." Their group of guards didn't remember the little guy because they had been hit by the board.
Gonggong Liu smiled, patted the guard on the shoulder, and left.
He decided to go back and add fuel to the emperor's majesty.
