Chapter 216: Martial Test; Horse Training (Part II)
The long grass is lush and lush, the wind blows the grass and the horses are faintly visible. Zong Zhengke looked at it for a quarter of an hour, and finally recognized the general range.
At this time, the steward of the racecourse asked curiously: "The third girl of Zongzheng, aren't you still there?" Time waits for no one. He had already noticed the growing fame of his cousin.
Zong Zhengke smiled at the steward, shook his head and said, "Don't worry. ”
But she could no longer stand still, so she threw away the curious gaze behind her, and instead of entering the racecourse, she slowly walked along the fence outside. She wasn't fast, but she wasn't slow, and from time to time she looked down to take a closer look at the fence.
It's just, what is the steward doing with him? It's not easy for everyone to see this, even if you want to do something, right? Zong Zhengke turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
The steward smiled and said, "Yes, I have to be responsible for recording the hours of your horse training." ”
That's why you have to follow? Zong Zhengke took a closer look at this person and saw that he was smiling kindly, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intent. But knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, it's better to be cautious and make mistakes. She deliberately quickened her pace, leaving the steward far behind.
The steward just smiled, and slowly followed Zong Zhengke with his hands behind his back. The two of them walked around the fence for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the steward finally couldn't help it, and said again: "Miss Ke, half the hour has passed. Your mother, Miss Huang, once tamed a king of horses, but it took a lot of time. ”
Zong Zhengke turned his face and smiled at the steward: "Please help me remember the time, I am Zong Zhengke." With that, she climbed the fence in front of her with her hand, and climbed to the top of a few feet high by stepping on the dense horizontal bar, and then deftly climbed over it, fluttering lightly.
The steward was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect Zong Zhengke to say it on the spot. And it's so light and fast. He quickly came back to his senses, quickly looked at his pocket watch to remember the hour, and couldn't help laughing, and said to himself: "If there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and he is also a lively and naughty one." ”
looked at the past again, but Zong Zhengke could no longer be found. It turns out that the meadows in this area are particularly thick, dense and long, and it is easy to hide the figure. The steward thought for a moment. is also like Zong Zhengke, to observe this side carefully, there is actually a fence that can be seen without tooth marks.
Soon. He noticed that something was wrong. He crouched down and gently put his hand on a low section of the fence, exerting a slight force. I shook the fence lightly twice, and I couldn't help but change my face. I tried again, and it was still the same, and his cold sweat was pouring down.
The fence of the racecourse has been specially raised and reinforced in the past two months. All the hard and thick metal railings are for the sake of the fierce horses of this batch of fierce horses. This time the small examination will be added to the martial arts test. It was a complete coincidence, and the horses were not specially sent for this purpose.
No matter how violent horses try to run into them, kick them, bite at the fence, and try to escape, it will be impossible in a short time. And the stewards and their hands kept watch day and night. First, it is strictly forbidden for horses to come close to the fence frequently, and secondly, it is also to prevent someone from breaking the reads();. As long as these days passed, the horses were carried away. Nothing to do with them.
The opponents in charge are very confident, and everyone has been strictly guarding against them for half a month. Defend against horses and people, and become a good performance. There shouldn't be an accident, he thought. However, there was actually an accident with the fence.
He tried the fence next to him again, and there were different ways to loosen it. The sweat on the forehead slipped down in strings, and the collar was wet in an instant. If you don't find it today, it won't be long before you find the horses running away tomorrow morning. And what awaits him and his hands is not just punishment.
Because these horses are very precious. It's a big deal, and it's useful. The patriarchs and elders have successively ordered the good students to take care of them, and even Xiao Lu, the chief deacon of Shouchun Garden, once came to visit in person and confessed a lot of words. Thinking of this, the steward was really grateful to Zong Zhengke.
Just as he was thinking about it, an attendant came to report that someone had tamed the horses and had gone to the side of the Jiuqu Mountain Road. The steward hurriedly asked the squire to gather people again, took the materials and tools, and hurriedly reinforced.
Looking at the steward, squatting in the grass, Zong Zheng smiled, and slowly sneaked towards his goal. Just now, she paid attention to the meadow and found an interesting phenomenon.
No matter which group of horses it is, more or less numerous, it seems to avoid a certain place while running. This is true of one group of two groups, the same is true of three groups of four, and the same is true of all returns. And there was not a single horse in the vicinity that was grazing and resting.
It's unusual. Zong Zhengke had a guess that there must be a special horse hidden in that extremely deep and dense meadow. Or, the horse has a disease that prevents the horses from avoiding it. Or, the horse is so grumpy that the horses can't afford to mess with it and have to take a detour.
However, Zong Zhengke believes that the steward of the horse farm is not so clumsy, and will put a sick horse and a group of horses together, isn't this a disaster for the horses. As for the latter, if he is really an extremely fierce and irritable horse, he has already run around the field, where can he bear to hide in the grass and remain motionless?
So, most likely, the third, this horse has a very noble position in the herd. Therefore, the horses will consciously avoid the place where it is and dare not disturb it, and the grass there will be particularly dense and dense. As for why it didn't come out and run, it was just disdainful.
Zong Zhengke's guess was not wrong, after she saw it.
It was a pitch-black horse, lying quietly in the grass, with an unusually human bored expression on its face. The corner of its mouth, revealing a small piece of fresh green leaves, chewed, porphylled, and squirted out.
Zong Zhengke slowly straightened his waist, revealing his figure. The horse spotted her too, and slowly straightened its neck, looking at her with large, watery eyes curiously.
Its fur shimmered like satin with an enviable ink, and its stature was equally tall and majestic, and even if it was just lying there, it was extremely oppressive. But it's actually just a child.
Zong Zhengke's gaze followed its flickering ponytail, and its pitch-black tail tip had sporadic light purple light that was difficult to spot. She breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't expect that she would encounter another xenomorph spirit beast.
Just like her longevity, the horse in front of her is also ranked in the list of Heavenly Strange Beasts, ranking twelfth, and it is the Zihao Yeli that haunts the extreme northern plateau of the Dasheng Empire.
Because it is a spirit animal, it is still a minor, and its physique is not inferior to those of the tallest and largest Far Northern Fierce Horses on this day. It is precisely because it is still a young beast and has a very strong curiosity that it will follow these horses caught on the Far North Plateau to the earthly world for a chic walk.
Zong Zhengke knew that if it wanted to leave, it could do so at any time, and the fence couldn't stop it. Shaking the fence loose may just be an unintentional act when it tickles. (To be continued.) )
