Chapter 10: The Plum (11)
"Let the Qiyun battalion be in charge of tomorrow's internal guard. Shu Yu said," Tao said.
"Seven less!" Tu Huyi shouted, "Such an important post as the internal guard can't be handed over to the people of the Qiyun Battalion. The second master has already arranged manpower. β
Tao Xiang looked at Cen Gaoying.
"I agree with Adjutant Tu. The second master has already arranged manpower is one thing, and besides, Qiyun Camp has never seen a lot of words, I'm afraid it will ......" Cen Gaoying also expressed his worries.
Tao Xiang said, "Pass the order according to my wishes." When the second master asked, he said that I said it. Comet"
"Yes." Cen Gaoying saw that Tao Xiang had made up his mind and took the order to leave.
Tu Huyi was still unwilling, and said angrily: "Seven Shao, the people of Qiyun Camp, I can't believe it." Obviously, it is under your jurisdiction of the seven young people, but they only listen to the big and young people, and they never take us seriously. If you want me to say that the day before yesterday, Qishao's seizure was still light, and Qiyun's errand office was smashed not once or twice, and he collapsed one or two, and Guan Bao was honest for a while. Let's see who dares to take ......"
Tao Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be impatient." Cong"
"Qishao, having said that, tomorrow is not an ordinary day, and internal security is too important. And in case something goes wrong, it is not good to transfer......"
"I will transfer them and not move, I will see who dares to move." Tao Xiao said, put on his gloves, lowered his head and dusted off his shirt. "Okay, come with me for a few laps, someone has to worry about these things."
Tu Huyi realized that he was wearing a riding costume and knew that he was going to ride a horse this morning.
He said: "Seven Shao, let me take the people of the guard platoon to be in charge of the internal guard, right?" Each of our people is up to 100...... Huh? Seven less? β
Tao Xiang just didn't reply.
Tu Huyi was still rambling in Tao Xiang's ear as he walked.
Tao Xiang couldn't be pestered by him, and shouted: "If you say a little more, you will be punished here." β
Tu Huyi was stunned by him, and snorted twice with his mouth closed aggrievedly.
Tao Xiang felt that his ears were clearer, so he ran in the direction of the racecourse.
Tu Huyi followed him step by step.
It was still early, and the Tao family's compound had not yet fully woken up, only a few servants were sprinkling water in the alley to clean up.
Tao Xiang walked extremely fast, and only slowed down when he reached the stable.
There are many horses in the Tao's stables. Tao Xiang took two steps, paused, took a look, and occasionally asked the groom a few words. Early in the morning, the horsemen were busy waiting for the horses, and when they saw Tao Xiang coming, they had to pause what they were doing. Tao Xiang waved his hand and motioned for them to leave him alone.
Lao Li, the groom who is in charge of his horse, is cleaning up the fence for the snow race.
Tao Xiang saw that the snow competition bar was empty, and asked loudly, "Let the snow race out?" Lao Li turned his ear back, and when he spoke to him, he had to raise his voice extraordinarily.
Lao Li put down the shovel, and when he saw that it was him, he hurriedly put down the half-shoveled horse manure, and said with a smile: "Yes, Seventh Master." Saixue is running around the field. β
Tao Xiang nodded. Looking up at the fence next door, quietly, he asked, "How about that?" β
Lao Li sighed and said: "I have been angry again in the past few days, and I am afraid of its bite, so I have to put down the hay and run every day, and I don't dare to go in to clean up the horse manure." The Seventh Master will take a look from afar. There are more than three Saixue to eat, and the thin one is only half the size of Saixue, and it is almost buried in horse manure...... It's the smelliest thing in this stable. β
Tu Huyi listened and couldn't help laughing.
Lao Li looked at him and said, "Adjutant Tu, don't laugh, you accompany the Seventh Master to have a look, I have never seen a horse that eats so much and is so thin." I've been serving horses for most of my life, and I've never seen one, I've never seen one......."
He began to repeat "never," a mantra he had only recently added.
"Does a skinny donkey pull hard, and a skinny horse also pulls hard?" Tu Huyi smiled and walked forward first to see the fierce horse.
Before Tao Xiang could open his mouth to remind him not to approach rashly, he heard a loud "bang". Tu Huyi shouted "Ouch, it scared me to death" and retreated, patted his chest, stared at the black horse mouth with white teeth in the small window, and said: "It's fortunate that I kicked the fence, and I have to lie down for half a moon if I kick it." β
Tao Xiang motioned for him to step back.
The black horse snorted, snorted and snorted hot air, and after a while, ducked through the window.
"Isn't it tethered?" Tao Xiang approached and looked inside from the small window. It was black, I couldn't see anything clearly, but I felt a hot and fishy smell coming to my nose. Suddenly, there was another loud bang at the fence gate, and the black horse was kicking the door. Tu Huyi and Lao Li both reminded him to stay out of the way, but he stood still.
The black mouth reached out of the small window and spewed at him.
Naughty naughty boy-like.
Tao Xiang took off his gloves and poked them in the nostrils.
The black horse that was hit by the trick quickly retracted, snorting inside and making various sounds.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared.
"How many people have hurt me. This account is waiting to be settled slowly. He said.
"I don't know, I thought that Prince Cora deliberately found fault with you, and sent such a living treasure, isn't it a toss." Tu Huyi smiled, and couldn't help but lean closer to the window to take a look.
Tao Xiang asked Lao Li to raise the shed outside the fence, he wanted to see this guy who had caused countless troubles.
Although Lao Li hesitated, he also knew that Tao Xiang's temper was true to his word, so he had to go over and pull up the heavy shed and help Huyi together.
Lao Li brought a big horse lantern and shone it. Tao Xiang got closer, and saw the black horse stepping on a thick layer of horse manure as a straw mat, beaten by the light, and the black horse, which had been constantly walking in the stable, stood still, lowered his head and raised his eyes to look at themβhe really had a pair of good eyes, shiny, the size of an apple. It's just that the body is not only thin, but also dirty, and there is a layer of horse manure on the belly, and the original black satin-like hair can no longer be seen. Although the thin ones are exposed to the ribs, and the roots are clearly distinguished, which is simply piercing to the eyes, it can be seen that the bones are strong and fattened, and they are a steed - Tao Xiang approached and looked at the black horse.
Suddenly, the black horse raised its front hooves and ran up to the fence, its huge hooves buckled on the fence, and neighed at Tao Xiang.
This frightened Lao Li and Tu Huyi hurriedly let go, the shed fell, and the black horse could be heard kicking the fence inside.
"Thankfully, this stable is the strongest. Since the last time it bit the rope and kicked the fence, it has reinforced a ring of iron bars outside, and it can't run out, but no one dares to go in. Lao Li Jing was so busy, he was sweating, took a sheepskin hat and came down, fanning the wind.
Tao Xiang nodded and said, "It's hard work." β
"Seventh Master, where did this come from. I just can't take care of it, I'm sorry for the seventh master. Lao Li's face was a little confused, and he looked at the sky outside to see that it was brighter, and he said, "Seventh Master is going to see Saixue, right?" β
Tao Xiang walked out, and in the empty horse farm, his mount Sai Xue was walking alone, stepping on the snow on the turf of the horse farm, with an elegant and cheerful step.
He leaned against the railing and looked into the distance.
With the morning stars twinkling in the blue sky and no wind, the weather should be great today.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring......
"Seven less, go down and run two laps?" Tu Huyi asked.
Before Tao Xiang could say anything, he heard a milky voice shouting behind him: "Seventh uncle! β
Tao Xiang turned around and looked, it was his nephew Qilin'er who came.
The little man ran out of the stable gate, tiptoeing and waving his hands, to see that he was very happy. The old servant who followed him shouted "Little young master slow down", for fear that he would fall.
"Kirin'er." He clapped his hands. Qilin'er ran to Tao Xiang. He took Qilin'er in his arms and lifted it up, looking behind him. Qilin'er, the eldest and youngest grandmothers are inseparable. Sure enough, I saw Fu Lizhen holding the girl and following her, and when I saw him, I paused slightly before walking this way.
"Sister-in-law early." Tao Xiang greetings.
Fu Lizhen walked behind in a hurry, heard Tao Xiang call her, nodded and smiled, and followed Qilin'er and called: "Seventh uncle." He said to Qilin'er, "Don't always pester Uncle Seven." β
Tao Xiang hugged Qilin'er and said, "It's okay." β
Qilin'er wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Seventh Uncle, ride a big horse." β
Tao Xiang looked at the young grandmother and asked.
The young grandmother smiled, "This kid wants to come to see Malaysia as soon as he opens his eyes." I couldn't be pestered by him, so I had to bring him here. It's going to happen every few days, and I don't know when it will stop. β
Tao Xiang looked at Qilin'er and said, "Lin'er is six years old this year, sister-in-law." At that time, the eldest brother was four years old, and I was a little more stupid, and I also got on the horse at the age of five. β
"Lin'er is weak, and he is shorter than children of the same age. Besides, in terms of intelligence, where can he compare with you? Fu Lizhen said lightly.
Tao Xiang understood what her sister-in-law meant, and only said, "Then, I'll take Lin'er to run a few laps." β
Fu Lizhen's face was embarrassed.
"Mother......" unicorn is coquettish.
Fu Lizhen looked at her son's longing eyes and did not object.
Tao Xiang lifted his nephew up on his shoulder, and Tu Huyi opened the fence gate for them. Tao Xiang whistled, and Sai Xue ran over with small steps. Tao Xiang squinted at his beloved horse in the morning light. It's beautiful. Reach out and pat Saixue.
Qilin'er was obviously very excited, he followed Tao Xiang's example, and his little hand also slapped it and slapped it on Saixue's neck.
Tao Xiang waited for the groom to put on the saddle, put the Qilin'er on first, got on the horse himself, and said, "Lin'er, sit firm." His voice was low and powerful, Qilin'er looked back at the heroic seventh uncle, his little face was red with excitement, "um", and he grabbed the reins.
Fu Lizhen watched Tao Xiang stabilize Qilin'er and let Saixue trot up...... The joyful laughter of the unicorn swirled over the horse with the click of Saixue's small steps. The dandelions flying on the autumn grassland are so light and beautiful...... She moved slowly, walking along the fence.
