Looking at the jujube red horse with bright coat and abnormal beauty, Zhao Xian was indeed a little eager to try, but she knew in her heart that her horse skills were really not good, and her level was only able to control ordinary horses.

She had heard that the more noble the horse, the greater the temper, and the more reluctant it was to admit the master.

Now what she is afraid of is the 'Luoxia' of this divine horse, if she doesn't recognize her so-called new master, and doesn't give her face at all, she is afraid that she won't even be able to touch the horse's hair, so why not ride it for a few laps?

Zhao Xian's slightly embarrassed look fell in Yelu Zongzheng's eyes, he immediately understood her concern, walked to 'Luoxia' with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and gently combed its hair with his hand, 'Luoxia' shook his neck leisurely, as if he was extremely comfortable.

Yelu Zongzheng beckoned to Zhao Xian and motioned her over, Zhao Xian looked at the extremely tame jujube red horse at this time, and carefully moved to the side of 'Luoxia'.

Yelu Zongzheng said, "You can try it too." Then he took his hand away from the horse's neck.

Zhao Xian hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out her hand and tentatively stroked Luoxia's neck.

Yelu Zongzheng said to 'Luoxia' again: "'Luoxia', you can see clearly, the princess will be your new master in the future, and you must be familiar with her taste." ”

'Luoxia' raised her head and hissed softly, looking at Yelu Zongzheng aggrievedly, as if accusing this master who had abandoned her.

Yelu Zongzheng said softly: "When you become an adult, you still need to carry the princess to Liaoguo, then you can see me again, and you will still protect the princess when I am away." This sentence seems to be said to the horse, and it seems to imply some kind of meaning that is clear.

Zhao Xian's face turned uncontrollably red again, if she didn't know in her heart at this time, Yelu Zongzheng vaguely expressed her love to her, she would be really stupid.

In fact, after she and Yelu Zongzheng drank on the roof of the Lantern Festival night, she felt that there was an indescribable feeling between the two, but she did not reject this emotion deep in her heart.

Perhaps it was for this reason that she didn't have time to change her clothes after being delayed for a few hours, and despite the fatigue of her body, she still rushed here non-stop to meet him.

I think she is an indifferent person, there is very little time to talk about love in the past and present life, and the acceptance of feelings has always been passive, and she has never had a strong heartbeat feeling, so she is as smart as her, but she doesn't know that at this time, she is indeed plucked by the string called 'love' in the depths of her heart.

Since Yelu Zongzheng met Zhao Xian, whether it was when she changed into a man or recovered into a daughter, Zhao Xian has always been calm and wise, and she has not blushed as many times as she does today, nor has she been as cute and moving as she is today.

'Luoxia' seemed to be able to feel the strong emotions of the master, and knew that Zhao Xian was a person valued by the master, so she couldn't help but step on her front hooves and agree.

Yelu Zongzheng smiled: "Okay, now you can ride up and run a few laps, and 'Luoxia' will definitely protect you, the new master." ”

Zhao Xian looked at the horse that gradually showed her intimacy, and she was also very happy, she patted the horse's back lovingly, and rode up with a slight force, 'Luoxia' raised her head and neighed again, and ran forward happily.

Yelu Zongzheng stepped lightly, and also got on another black horse 'stepping on the snow', chasing the person and horse who ran first.

The sun slowly set, and after the most red in the sky faded, night fell quietly, and Yelu Zongzheng and Zhao Xian rode horses on the grassy slope for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped at a place near the nameless mountain.

The two looked at the dark sky, Fang woke up and realized that the night had come, Yelu Zongzheng looked around, took the lead in getting off the horse, and grabbed the 'Luoxia', and said to Zhao Xian: "Why don't you and I come down and rest for a while, and then make plans?" ”

Zhao Xian nodded, slid down the horse's back, and suddenly felt that her legs were sore, and she was a little unsteady standing on the grassy slope.

Yelu Zongzheng turned around and took down a burden from the 'Treading Snow', which was the one he saw when he left Xinghuazhai before, he sat on the ground, opened the baggage, took out a bag of things from it, and said to Zhao Xian: "This is the snack I brought from 'Xinghuazhai' before, if you don't dislike it, you will be hungry first." ”

Zhao Xian also sat down, she was already hungry, she took the bag of dim sum casually, gently twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, a fragrance of apricot blossoms came into her nose, the pastry at the entrance was soft and sweet, extremely delicious, and she secretly praised the carefulness of Yelu Zongzheng in her heart.

The two of them ate eight points full of snacks, and then looked at the sky and it was already dark, but no one even mentioned the matter of going back.

Yelu Zongzheng took out two pots of apricot blossom wine from the baggage like a trick, handed one to Zhao Xian, and said: "This is the most famous apricot blossom wine in 'Xinghuazhai', would you like to try it?" ”

Zhao Xian took the pot of wine, and felt that the two of them had returned to the night of the Lantern Festival, but at that time she was Xiao Xian who was dressed as a man, but at this time she was really herself, and she couldn't help but feel that the world has changed, and the fate between people is so wonderful.

Zhao Xian remembered the horizontal flute played by Yelu Zongzheng that she had heard before, so she said softly: "There is wine and scenery, how can there be no fun?" ”

Yelu Zongzheng was silent for a moment, and finally took out the transverse flute from his bosom, put it to his mouth and blew it lightly.

A bend of the moon hung in the sky at some point, and the sound of the flute sounded on the silent grassy slope, and the forest in the mountain was as far as the eye could see, and the sound of the flute passed through the forest, circling repeatedly.

Zhao Xian listened quietly, a very shallow smile unconsciously hung on the corner of her mouth, although she was rough in music theory, she could also hear the twists and turns in the song played by Yelu Zongzheng.

The unknown song first implied gloom and loneliness, and then the feeling of loss was gradually replaced by another kind of light cheerfulness, and at its most recently, it became a sound of longing and longing.

When the last note of the last note also disappeared in the air, Yelu Zongzheng withdrew the transverse flute and looked at Zhao Xian with affectionate eyes.

Zhao Xian coughed lightly, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's a pity that there are no stars, I think only on the grassland can you see the stars." ”

Yelu Zongzheng nodded, his eyes seemed to be looking at the sky: "When I was a child, my father often took my younger brother and me to gallop horses on the vast grassland, and my mother would also wait for us in the tent with a pot of mare's milk wine. An inexplicable emotion flowed out as he spoke.

He also sighed: "On summer nights, my brother and I slipped out of the tent and lay on the grass to count the stars, the stars in the sky twinkled and shimmered, as if we could reach out to pick them, and it is undeniable that the stars on the grassland are the most beautiful stars I have ever seen." ”

Zhao Xian asked, "You don't stay in Shangjing, can you go to the grassland at any time?" ”

Yelu Zongzheng looked at Zhao Xian and explained with a smile: "Our Liao Emperor 'patrols at four o'clock', there are bowls all year round, and in the hot summer, we will find a cool place with abundant water and grass to make 'summer bowls'. My father usually took us with him to escape the summer. ”

Zhao Xian suddenly realized, her eyes were fascinated, and she said: "It's so beautiful, no wonder you don't like Bianliang." ”

Yelu Zongzheng also said: "The scenery of the four seasons of the Liao Kingdom is different, no matter when you come, you can experience another kind of beauty, but you are from the Central Plains, and I am afraid that you will not be able to survive the cold in winter." ”
