Chapter 22: Supershadow and Light Shadow
As the night receded, the veil of mystery faded, and the golden light shot into the sky from somewhere in the far east, singing a hymn to the red sun that was about to appear.
The Yang River Valley, itself the Yang River is a tributary of the Liao River, but there is no water for half of the year, so it is the Yang River Valley again. The place where the horses temporarily live is the Yanghe Valley, where the water is moistened by the river for half a year, and the aquatic plants are abundant.
Just as the red sun was about to appear, among the horses, there was a horse that was completely black and did not have half a stray hair; From head to tail, it is about eight feet long; From the hooves to the neck, more than six feet high, he is the king of this herd. If it is an ordinary horse, this body type, it is already considered an adult, but he is different, he does not see that there is not even a mare for breeding around him, in fact, he is still a minor.
Then that's scary!
He slowly snorted, looked up to the east, and then snorted twice—
Puff~Puff~
The horses around him were awakened by him, and they all slowly got up, and then bowed their heads to their king in unison.
Dodo~
Ignoring the worship of his subjects, he raised his horse's hooves high, and then, with his strong hind legs, began to jog in the direction where the sun would appear.
He's not going for a walk, but—
"Warm up!"
Gongsun Du and Xu Rong, who rushed over before dawn, happened to see this scene, and such a word involuntarily appeared in their minds.
Sure enough, he gradually began to speed up, like a bolt of lightning, shooting eastward, nay, perhaps faster than lightning.
"Let's go, let's follow!" Gongsun Du had a feeling that if he didn't keep up, he would regret it for the rest of his life. As it turned out later, it was indeed as he thought.
Gongsun Du Xu Rong's horse is an ordinary horse in the end, far from being his opponent, but fortunately they reacted quickly, and did not care about the horsepower, they could still see "him" from a distance, but they were still gradually being pulled away.
ran like this for several miles, and seeing that "he" was about to disappear from the field of vision, Gongsun Du suddenly shouted-
"It's not good, there's the Liao River ahead!"
Although the Liao River has now entered a dry period, there are still more than a dozen or nearly 20 zhang wide water surface. And "he" didn't mean to slow down at all, it seemed that he was going to cross the Liao River like this, oh, maybe it was crossed, if he could jump twenty zhang away, it was possible!
Xu Rong, who was originally quite calm, was also a little anxious: "Shengji, let's hurry up, we must not let him die in the river like this." ”
Gongsun Du nodded, then gritted his teeth and slapped his palm on the horse's buttocks. The horses suffer and their speed increases.
Xu Rong did the same, hoping to save "him" when he jumped into the river and was not drowned.
However, the two had different ideas, Gongsun Du was worried about losing the opportunity to subdue this group of horses, while Xu Rong didn't want such an excellent war horse, he would become a help for Gongsun Du to fight on the battlefield.
Xu Rong didn't know why, but he actually thought about Gongsun Du. If Gongsun Du knew Xu Rong's thoughts, he would jump up with joy, because this meant that there was one more possibility of winning Xu Rong.
"He" doesn't have a name, but he is the king of horses, a king of horses with nearly 100 men under his command and a herd of horses with a healthy posture! What he likes the most is to run towards the first sun in the early morning when the sun has not yet officially appeared on the ground, which will make him as light as the wind, and of course it will make him more jubilant......
Just like now, he knew where he was, and he knew that there was a stream of water that he had swam and drunk countless times, but he was confident that he would get through.
Poof, poof~
It was close, it was already very close to the Liao River, he snorted twice, encouraged himself, and then began to explode with all his strength, and the galloping speed rose a step again, as if it was about to disappear from Gongsun Du and Xu Rong's eyes in the blink of an eye.
Even so, Gongsun Du and Xu Rong still tried to keep their eyes open and follow the traces that were about to "disappear".
Rise~
A round of red sun suddenly jumped up to the ground, and "he" happened to come to the river, and his legs flew upwards with a fierce force. With the blooming sunshine, it is like running and leaping in the sun......
"Super Shadow! What a super shadow, a super shadow that goes day by day! ”
Gongsun Du muttered, two lines of tears flowed irrepressibly from the corners of his eyes, but he still didn't want to close his eyes, just watched the vigorous majestic posture rushing towards the early sun, like a moth that pounced on the lights.
It's both suffocating and shocking!
Naturally, now, only shock remains!
Xu Rong was the same, deeply shocked by this scene.
Then, "he" disappeared from the sight of Gongsun Du and Xu Rong, because their horses did not have the ability to carry them across the Liao River, and finally the shock dispersed, and they stopped on this side of the river.
"Tingfang, what kind of name do you think I should give him to be worthy of him?" Gongsun Du was not worried that "he" would not come back at all, but was a little troubled about what to name "him".
Xu Rong was surprised: "What? Isn't it Supershadow? ”
Gongsun Du couldn't help choking when he heard this, and said speechlessly: "Chaoying, is the name of one of the eight horses that King Zhou Mu sat down, and it is rumored that he has the ability to travel thousands of miles in a day. Moreover, the name of the super shadow is related to the fact that it is going day by day. But the day is the setting sun, not the morning sun. ”
Xu Rong tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't reply.
Gongsun Du didn't care either, and chattered to himself: "Chaoying, day by day, name Chaoying." So what should this rush to the sun be called? Especially his leap on the Liao River, which can be called peerless! There has to be a name to match, let me think about what I should have to deserve it......"
Xu Rong shook his head, now the shadow of the horse can't be seen, and he actually thinks about the name, it's really ...... You have to wait for the submission to be submitted, don't you?
After waiting for a while, "he" hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait, and Gongsun Du is still muttering to himself, pondering the name of the horse, Xu Rong shook his head, and couldn't help but remind: "Shengji, I think we should leave here immediately now, otherwise when that guy comes over, he will definitely see us and know our purpose." After all, judging from the fact that those horses knew how to guard the perimeter yesterday, they were not ordinary horses. ”
"What did you say?" Gongsun Du came back to his senses in a daze, obviously not hearing Xu Rong's words clearly, so Xu Rong had to say it again. In this regard, Gongsun Du felt that it was very reasonable, so he agreed.
However, their horses were already tired after the previous gallop. Gongsun Du wanted to urge the horse to sit down, but he didn't move, so he understood, so he took off the noose from the horse, and then handed the horse to Xu Rong: "Tingfang, you lead these two horses back, I'll wait for that guy here." ”
"Here?" Xu Rong was surprised.
"That's right!" Gongsun Du nodded calmly, "This is it." The guy jumped from here before, and he'll be back from here nine times out of ten. However, after a long time of running, I believe that the guy's physical strength is not much left, and it is impossible to jump back at least. As long as it dares to go down the river, I have a way to catch it. ”
Xu Rong thought about it, what Gongsun Du said was very reasonable, so he agreed, but he didn't go far with the two horses, but left the two horses not far away to graze, and then also took the lasso that had been prepared a long time ago to the river not far away, preparing that in case Gongsun Du failed, he could make amends.
"Either way, gotta catch that guy!"
Xu Rong looked at Gongsun Du, who was hiding in the river, and secretly swore an oath.
Xu Rong didn't think about whether he would be suspected of stealing the limelight from Gongsun Du in this move, fortunately, today's Gongsun Du is not the Gongsun Du in the original history, so even if there is an accident and he is robbed of the limelight, he will only be glad to catch that guy, not let him go.
That's all!
Shortly after Gongsun Du entered the water, the sound of horses' hooves, which was not too hurried, came from the east. Gongsun Du's heart tightened, and he shook the lasso in his hand, and he felt a little nervous.
And "he" didn't perceive the danger, maybe he felt that he hadn't seen the two pursuers behind him before, and he had already gotten rid of them! Jogging to the edge of the Liao River, "he" stopped, not realizing Gongsun Du, but thirsty, stretched his neck and began to drink.
Gongsun Du was taken aback, and thought that he had been discovered, and almost couldn't help but swim over and trap it, and then saw the actions of King Ma, and secretly annoyed in his heart, why didn't he think of this stubble, if he was ambushed on the other side early, while he was drinking water, he would definitely be able to trap it!
"He" didn't know that he was gradually in danger, and after drinking the water, he raised his head and snorted—
Poof, poof, poof......
Several times in a row, without panting!
After snorting, "he" tested the water with his front hooves, and it looked like he was about to cross the river. Gongsun Du immediately held his breath, lowered his sense of presence, and was ready to make a move at any time.
To his surprise, "he" began to hiss again-
Gray Law ~ (How to call a horse, don't get entangled, after all, it's not the same kind as us...... )
After screaming for a long time, it showed a very strong lung capacity, and it also proved that "he" was still full of energy, so that Gongsun Du had to worry about whether there was another Prancing Horse Liaoshui. The same is true of Xu Rong in secret, and his whole heart is raised!
Their fears did not come true, and it may not have anything to do with facing the sun.
Puff~
"He" jogged a few steps like a child, then jumped into the river, splashing countless times, and then began to play in the water in the stunned eyes of Gongsun Du.
When Gongsun Du came back to his senses, he saw that "he" was about to take a bath, oh no, it was out of the water, and he happened to see "he" looking at himself with contempt.
Gongsun Du was immediately furious, threw down the lasso in his hand, jumped and hugged "him" by the neck, and his feet did not stop, hooking the horse's back, and squeezing up.
"He" was also stunned, he really didn't expect such a situation to happen, originally "he" saw this strange guy looking at him stupidly in the water, and took a closer look in curiosity, and then lost interest and prepared to leave. Outcome......
"He" was stunned for a short time, and he reacted in an instant, and he wanted to shake Gongsun Du down, but "he" forgot that he was still in the water, and as soon as he moved, he felt great resistance, and under the anger, he subconsciously ran forward.
This was in line with Gongsun Du's wishes, he soaked in the water for a while, and felt a little cold, so he sat on the horse's back, and then clamped his legs to avoid being thrown off.
"He" was completely angry and dared to ride me? After coming out of the water, they began to run wildly, began to jump non-stop, and people stood up...... All this in order to get rid of the strange guy on his back......
Xu Rong watched Gongsun Du being "taken away" in such a daze, and hurriedly walked back after coming back to his senses, ready to pick up Gongsun Du.
"He" tossed for a long time, ran I don't know how far, Gongsun Du began to feel weak in his limbs, his mind was dizzy, and when he was about to give up, "he" suddenly stopped moving.
Gongsun Du's mind cleared, and he said in a low voice: "Are you willing to surrender to me?" ”
Poof, poof~
"He" snorted.
Somehow, Gongsun Du understood what he meant, that is-no way!
Gongsun Du smiled, still want to pretend to be tough? What if you have the ability to keep running?
However, Gongsun Du didn't say so, but said cheekily: "You agreed? Very good! Are you ready to go with me to the Quartet? And I've given you a pretty domineering name—"
"Shadows!"
"How? This is the same name as the most famous horse Chaoying in ancient times, enough for your identity! ”
