Shi Chi took Stilyan and Stilwell to leave, the army had already assembled outside the city, and the father and son went lightly, and Shi Mansion was suddenly a lot colder.

For the next two days, I was bored with nothing to do, except that Shi Cundao asked two military men to help me tailor a pair of armor, and there was nothing worth mentioning.

On this day, I was in the fugue, and Xiaodouzi suddenly ran over, panting and said, "The fifth young master is not good, something is wrong!" ”

I asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiaodouzi was out of breath and said: "The emperor rewarded you with that oolong horse for your temper!" ”

I laughed, "What's the big deal?" ”

Xiaodouzi's eyes widened and said: "That's the emperor's reward for you, if something goes wrong, we can't afford to bear it." He stood there and jumped as if his grandfather was going to die, and I said lazily, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see." ”

Little Beanzi trotted and brought me to the stable, where there was already a large group of grooms from Shifu, and the oolong was jumping and jumping in the stable, and he was so irritable that a group of people did not dare to step forward, and they were afraid that it would hurt themselves, so they were so anxious that they were at a loss.

I put my hands behind my back and said, "What's the matter?" ”

When the grooms saw that I was coming, they said, "I have not eaten or drunk for a day since the morning." ”

I said, "You're abusing it?" ”

The horsemen were so frightened that their faces turned earthy: "Fifth young master, don't make this kind of joke, who would dare to abuse the emperor's imperial horse?" Someone said: "Yes, don't talk about abuse, I don't even dare to give a cold eye, we have prepared a separate stable for it, the best forage, like an ancestor to offer, I have never fulfilled such filial piety to my mother's pension." ”

I snorted and said, "I usually brag about one race at a time, but it's really time to use you all to stop cooking, don't you all know horses?" Is it hungry? Thirsty? Or lonely? You should tell the young master a way. ”

The grooms looked at me with complicated expressions and red faces, and I wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Some of the horsemen are happy, and some of them are talking about him, but no one is taking me as a stubble, I glared and said: "You don't tell me if you know the reason, looking for a fight?" ”

An elderly groom couldn't help but smile and said, "Fifth Young Master, there is really one thing you just said that is reliable. ”

I was stunned: "Which one?" ”

The old groom smiled and said nothing, and raised his chin over there, I looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the stable next to the oolong was the white horse that the bearded man had picked for me before, and I specially told him to be docile, so this white horse was a little mare, it stood there, its body was well-proportioned, its hair was shiny, and its eyes were shining with a moving light under its long eyelashes. And the reason why the oolong is jumping is precisely because it wants to jump into the stable of the white horse.

I squinted my eyes and smiled, "This beast is thinking about women." ”

The old groom said, "Isn't it, it's been a day of trouble." ”

I said, "Why don't you just keep them together?" ”

The old horseman smiled and said: "How dare we call the shots of this horse given by the emperor, besides, horse breeding also has to talk about the season and season, how can it be from it?" ”

I scolded: "Bah, you are allowed to visit the kiln every day, and you are not allowed to fall in love freely?" ”

The grooms laughed lewdly.

I walked up to the oolong horse, stretched out my hand and shook it, "And you, so lonely and unbearable?" I pointed to the white horse and said, "This is the same as my daughter, if you want to soak it, you have to pass me first." ”

Oolong listened to me, fluttered his eyes and quieted down, then reached over and rubbed his head against my hand. A group of horsemen laughed: "This beast has become a sperm." ”

At this time, a family member reported that a forbidden army had come to see me, and as soon as the family Ding flashed, a palace guard in full uniform stepped forward, stuffed a letter into my hand, and arched his hand: "This is what Master Ink instructed me to hand over to General Shi." ”

I took it and opened it for a look, and then handed it to the guard: "You help me read it." "There are a lot of words on it that I don't recognize.

The guard looked at me strangely and said, "In the case of the former general of the left, the poor monk is waiting 30 miles away in the suburbs of Jingdong, and I am glad to be not to blame." ”

I wondered, "What does the ink master ask me to do?" ”

The guard smiled and said, "I don't know, I'm only responsible for running errands." ”

I nodded: "Then I have to go." I patted Oolong's forehead and said, "You have to come with me, and then let you round the house when you come back." ”

Someone put a saddle on the oolong horse, and the guard and I came to the gate of Shifu and got on the horse together, and I arched my hand and said, "Please also ask the guard brother to lead the way." ”

The guard hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare to be, General Shi please." ”

The two of us spread our horses and went straight to the eastern suburbs, his horse galloped on all fours, and ran very fast, but the oolong horse just trotted idly and actually followed, the guard glanced at it, and said enviously: "This is the emperor's oolong horse, right?" It's a miracle. ”

I laughed and said, "This beast is a fast runner and has a bad temper, and there was a moth just now." ”

The guard suddenly gave me a deep bow on his horse and said, "General Shi, our Lord Gu wants me to thank you on his behalf. ”

"Master Gu?"

"Oh, Gu Debiao, Commander Gu."

"What did he thank me?"

The guard said: "That night, your subordinates showed mercy, not only Lord Gu, but my brothers and I were very grateful to you. ”

I laughed and said, "That's it?" That's as it should be, the brothers are just eating together, and there is no deep hatred. ”

The guard said: "Master Gu originally wanted to invite you to dinner, but considering your current status, I am afraid that you will not be able to take a break from your busy schedule, of course, in fact, the most important thing is that you will not be able to appreciate it." ”

I waved my hand and said, "That's not enough, but it's definitely not going to work today, and tomorrow there will be a swearing-in meeting......

When the guard heard this, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and I said, "Well, when I come back from the expedition, I will definitely bother." ”

"Really?" The guard's eyes lit up again.

"That's it, go back and tell you Lord Gu that he already owes me a meal."

The guard said happily: "Thank you, General Shi, so that I have an explanation." ”

At this time, the two horses raced on the foot, it seems that the other party is also a high-minded and arrogant master, always thinking about leading the oolong by half a body, how can the oolong see this? When it used to be a royal horse, it was for the emperor to ride alone, and how could the general horse dare to go in front of it, so when it saw someone competing with it, the stubborn temper came up, and only jumped slightly, and immediately threw off most of the other party's head, and then rubbed it with his body, the horse was of course rubbed by it, and the guards almost fell off the horse, I pulled the reins hard but it didn't work, and rubbed a few times, and even the guards and horses were squeezed into the ridges next to it. I slapped it on the head and scolded, "Do you still want to pick up girls?" "The oolong has stopped a lot.

I moved out of the way and motioned for the guard to come up, and he smiled: "Forget it, I don't dare to go in front of it anymore, General Shi doesn't have to worry about me, your horse is better to go first, that place is easy to find, you just need to move forward, when you see a barren mountain, that's it." ”

I didn't pass the guards and went on the road alone, the oolong horse ran fast and steady, and after a while, a barren mountain appeared on the side of the road, and there was a train at the foot of the mountain, I didn't need to look closely to know that it must be Shui Mo and his party - there were four guards in gray and black clothes in the convoy chatting. When they saw me coming, they greeted me coldly and said, "Master Ink has been waiting at the top of the mountain for a long time. ”

I dismounted and climbed the trail, which was not too high, and it didn't take long to reach the top, and when I looked around, I saw that it was indeed a barren mountain, the flattest part of the hill was about the size of two basketball courts, and there were a few crooked neck trees standing alone, and nothing else. Ink sits on the ground in the open space, twisting Buddha beads in his hand, and an old monk sits alone on this desolate mountain, showing a long artistic conception.

Ink smiled at me and said, "General Xiao Shi is hard. ”

"It's not hard, is there something the master is looking for me?" I was full of curiosity, so I asked directly.

"Sit." There is no nonsense in ink.

I sat down across from him and looked at him intently, completely confused.

Shui Mo said: "General Xiao Shi is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, have you ever felt a little excited?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing more than going to war, what's there to be excited about?" ”

Shui Mo's eyelids raised, and he said unexpectedly: "The emperor specially held a swearing-in meeting for you, in front of the ten thousand armies, enjoy the honor, you don't have any ideas?" ”

I waved my hand and said, "I'm the most afraid of a lot of people, and it's okay to talk about it in private. ”

“…… Are you telling the truth? ”

I laughed, "What's there to fool you?" ”

Shui Mo said: "The general might as well think about it from another angle: millions of male soldiers look at you as the head of the horse, and on the battlefield, you are their hero, isn't there a little bit of pride?" ”

I shook my head again and said, "Bullshit hero, master, you are a smart person, don't you understand what's going on?" The emperor pushed me out, but it was just to boost morale, the form is greater than the substance, and I won't tell you that my grandfather hasn't figured out what to let me do now, so it's not appropriate for such a hero. ”

Shui Mo looked at me in surprise and said, "Is it because you think you don't think you're being reused?" ”

I said categorically: "No, let me be the marshal I also say the same, I would rather there be no war between the two continents, and I am not a Raushzi sword god, everyone has their own lives peacefully." ”

Shui Mo suddenly straightened up and slammed at me, and I was surprised: "Master, what are you doing here?" ”

"Just for what the general just said, please accept the old man's bow."

I hurriedly held him up by the shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Master, what are you looking for me for?" ”

Shui Mo said: "Lao Wei originally wanted to hear the general's opinion on this war, but now there is no need to ask. Ink said leisurely, "Brocade clothes and jade food, a hundred responses, these things are easy to give up, but it is difficult to give up the world, the so-called fame and fortune, fame is always in front of profit, how many Qingliu hermits pretend to be thin fame and fortune, in fact, they are coy, waiting for the price and selling, the old man wants to ask is, how did the general do it? ”

I sighed and said lightly, "Maybe...... It's because I have another world in my heart. ”
