Chapter 41: Xie Tie's Mount
As soon as these words came out, Guo Fanlin next to him showed a triumphant smile in his eyes. Although he did not know who the owner of the horse was, and had never seen it, let alone anyone had said it, the general had privately instructed him not to let the horse live again when he arrived in the north, and if he could, let it die at the hands of the soldiers in the north. He thought it would be a little difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
It seems that God is helping him!
Seeing that Shangguan had ordered someone to summon the archers, Zhang Xiang, the general of the southern border, who had not spoken, hurriedly stopped: "I implore the prince not to hurt its life." ”
King Zhenbei frowned.
Guo Fanlin also glared at him in annoyance, but he knew that he should not speak at this moment to arouse suspicion, so he only gave him a look.
Zhang Xiangli ignored him, and only repeated: "I implore the prince not to hurt his life." ”
"If it hurts and cannot be tamed, shoot it, or the two generals will go to find its master." Shangguan said coldly. Although it is a pity that a thousand miles of good horses are good, but human life cannot be left in front of them.
Zhang Xiang was afraid that they would really hurt the horse, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "This horse is the purple-clothed Hou Xie Tie's mount, the first emperor once gave the snow gold name, if it hurts its life, the Son of Heaven will blame it, and you are afraid that it will be difficult to bear." ”
"What, that's the Purple Marquis's mount?" Li Baiyu exclaimed.
Why was the Purple Marquis's mount sent to the North?
"The old man doesn't know, Zhang Jingya's old miscellaneous man dares to play with the old man." King Zhenbei's face was dark, Zhang Jingya, an old horseman, turned out to be the pit he really dug here. If everyone knows that the Marquis of Ziyi has returned, and is very likely to enter the main palace, if her mount dies in the north at this moment, no matter who sent it first, only slaughtering the royal horse, the north will not be able to get out of it.
It's a good trick to borrow a knife to kill.
Guo Fanlin on the side opened his mouth wide in shock, and his already small eyes widened at the boss.
Purple...... The mount of the Purple Marquis? Thinking about it carefully, I was very frightened, I thought that the general knew the heroes and heroes, and suddenly promoted him to the position of a general, because he appreciated him, but he didn't expect that he would be sent to death. The purple-clothed marquis's mount is dead, and it is bound to be investigated, but the south only needs to push him out and convict him, and everything will be fine. No wonder, no wonder when he set off triumphantly, many people were laughing, he thought it was to congratulate him, but now that he thinks about it, it is clearly disdainful and sneering!
Thinking of this, Guo Fanlin's back was in a cold sweat.
Zhang Xiang did not hesitate to offend Zhang Jingya and say it, naturally it was not for the sake of him and the north, but it was just a great trust of the young general before returning to the imperial city, and he was bound to protect this fierce horse.
Major General Yu, stepping on snow is the only thing that the Purple Marquis left in the south.
Huangsha Village.
Xuan Xuan took Xiaobao and Baozi to play at the door of the house, the two of them stood one at the end, holding a cloth bag made by Xiaobao Niang in their hands, you throw it once, I threw it back, Baozi chased after them, and the three little guys had a lot of fun.
Sanniang washed her clothes and dried them in the yard, and suddenly heard the buns screaming at the distance.
Isn't it forbidden to travel privately on a war horse in the north? What the major general does not allow, how can there be the sound of horses' hooves today? Sanniang frowned, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves gradually becoming clearer, as if she was still running in a hurry.
Glancing at the little guys at the door, Sanniang shouted with a little worry: "Xuanxuan, Xiaobao, come in." ”
The little guy was having a good time, and suddenly he was called, and he was a little stunned to see Sanniang. Without waiting for the little ones to come in, Sanniang saw a black horse coming out of nowhere, and the horse's hooves were still flying on the front feet, close to the little ones.
Seeing the horse running towards the children, Sanniang was suffocated and hurriedly ran out, and the two little ones also heard the sound of the horse's hooves, turned their heads to look, and saw a big black horse running towards them, and they were all stunned.
Seeing that the black horse was about to hit the children, Sanniang was shocked, hurriedly hugged the two little guys, and bowed her head tightly to protect them. Wei Ci, who was chasing after him, saw that he was about to throw away his sword in a hurry.
"Sanniang!!"
At the last moment, the black horse suddenly hurriedly stopped the horse's hooves, afraid of hurting Sanniang and them, jumped up and rolled over the horse's hooves and crashed into the earthen wall next to it, the earthen wall collapsed, and dust and smoke were everywhere.
Seeing this, Wei Ci hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran over, took Sanniang and the children to a safe place, and asked worriedly: "How is it, have you been injured?" ”
Sanniang hugged the two children and shook her head gently.
Seeing that she shook her head and the children were fine, Wei Ci cautiously went to check on the fierce horse.
The big black horse lay on the ground, panting heavily, the horse's belly was scratched by the stones falling from the top of the earthen wall, and some blood stains were stained on the sand, and when the dust and smoke dissipated, it looked straight at Sanniang, and tears gathered in its eyes, as if Sanniang had abandoned it.
Seeing that the horse was injured, especially the expression it looked at herself, Sanniang inexplicably felt a little pain in her heart, and she was unspeakably uncomfortable, as if she was reluctant to give up something? !
"Quit!"
At this moment, Huo Xiaoguang and others also arrived with horses, seeing that Sanniang was fine, and when they wanted to get close to the horse, the black horse suddenly got up, and walked straight towards Sanniang, Wei Ci reached out and wanted to pull Sanniang, but Sanniang didn't take his hand, but couldn't help but raise his hand and caress the head of the black horse hanging down.
"It doesn't hurt." Sanniang looked at it and asked softly, and took out a handkerchief from her cuff to wipe its wounds in a little panic.
"Sanniang ......" Wei Ci was afraid that the fierce horse would hurt her, and just wanted to hold her, but saw that the fierce horse was afraid that Sanniang would not be able to reach and knelt on the ground, and his head was rubbing against Sanniang's hand, like a wronged child.
This......
"Big horses, little treasures, big horses." The children are forgetful, Xuan Xuan came back from the most frightened, looked at the big black horse in surprise, and felt that it was better than all the big horses he had ever seen, and immediately pulled Xiaobao and walked over.
Xiaobao also shouted: "Big horse and horse are obedient." ”
As if he knew that they were children, the dark horse ignored them, lazily letting them mess around with him.
"Husband, this horse is so well-behaved, is it a new foal in the camp?" Sanniang saw that the black horse was not in the saddle, and asked guessingly.
When Shangguan Tou, Wei Ci and the others who came with a team of archers heard this, they felt the corners of their mouths twitch.
This fiery horse is good? Sanniang didn't see the camp that was stirred up by it! That fiery appearance, I'm afraid I can't even touch the edge of the obedient words. Shangguan Tou approached Wei Ci and said in a low voice: "Ah Ci, this horse is the mount of the Purple Marquis. ”
"What?" The mount of the Purple Marquis?
Wei Ci and the others didn't know it, and they were all taken aback when they heard it at this moment.
"Why did the Purple Marquis's mount come to our northern border?" After Li Da was shocked, his eyes lit up instantly when he looked at the big black horse.
That's the exclusive foal of the Marquis of Purple Clothes!
Shangguan pierced his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Jingya's intentions are sinister, and he wants to use our hands to get rid of this horse, so that the emperor and the purple-clothed marquis can be investigated and investigated, and a fisherman will benefit." When I came, my father-in-law had already sent a fast horse and a flying book back to Chang'an, and now I can only wait for His Majesty's will, this horse ...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to spend some time in our north. Ah Ci, I think it doesn't exclude Sanniang, why don't you put it in your house for a few days! ”
"No." Wei Ci took into account the temperament of this fierce horse, and directly refused: "This horse is too strong, I am afraid of hurting Sanniang and Xuanxuan." ”
As soon as his words fell, he was heard by Sanniang, and he raised his head and said, "Husband, let it stay!" It's very well-behaved. As he spoke, he touched the horse's head, and the big black horse shook his head as if he could really understand human nature.
"Dad, Dama is very well-behaved." Xuan Xuan also said. Even Xiaobao hugged the horse's neck and little head and echoed little by little: "Big horse and horse are obedient." ”
What else can the mother and son do if they deliberately resign? I could only reluctantly agree.
After returning to the camp to report, the king of Zhenbei also considered that Ma Tailie was afraid of hurting people, so he handed over the military affairs at hand to Li Baiyu in the past few days and guarded in Huangsha Village. Another person was sent to build a temporary stable next to Wei's house and sent some horse grass over.
For Wei Ci, this is a real benefit.
At this moment, Wei Ci lifted a chair with a backrest and sat in the garden, looking at the big black horse in the stable opposite through the half-collapsed earthen wall, holding a melon seed in his hand, and there were two small low stools on the left, and two little ones lying on the low stool, chewing malt candy to see the big black horse.
