Chapter 105: Horses are sorrowful
Li Su felt that he was caught in a whirlpool, a whirlpool of power. The top point said,
This whirlpool has an incomparably strong suction, once it is trapped, it will pull itself down, unable to struggle, unable to resist, until finally the whirlpool drowns him.
An hour ago, he was still thinking about his family property, thinking about what kind of posture to use to meet the beautiful days of eating and waiting for death in the future, and an hour later he inexplicably became a member of the Tang Army's soldiers, and he was an eight-rank official, what kind of official? Joining the army?
No matter the troubled times or the prosperous times, the power is so arrogant and rude, and it never allows others not to do it.
Li Su didn't dare not to, unless he had the idea of rebelling, pulling a group of people who were also dissatisfied with Li Shimin to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, drinking wine and eating meat like the heroes of Liangshan, robbing and robbing the women of good families by the way, while waiting to be recruited by the imperial court, however, ...... After Zhao'an, is he still an official by the imperial court? So, what was the purpose of his going up and down the grass? Change your posture to be an official?
And judging from the current general trend of Li Tang's return to the heart of the world, the difficulty of finding a like-minded bandit like him to go up the mountain is tantamount to finding a pure natural green pollution-free wild Ultraman......
Li Su sighed, and suddenly realized that the future was so confused.
Sullen and said goodbye to Dongyang, Li Su walked home, and when he returned home, he found a bunch of villagers around the door, two sergeants standing in the courtyard, and the official letter and official uniform were really delivered.
Dad looked at them blankly, he was talking to the two sergeants, seeing Li Su coming back, the two sergeants saluted him with fists at the same time, Li Daozheng quickly pulled Li Su aside and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you an official again? ”
Li Su sighed, his expression full of bitterness: "Isn't being an official exactly what you want?" From the eighth grade, it is two levels higher than the last time from the ninth grade......"
"For no reason, why did you let you be an official again?"
Li Su smiled bitterly: "Maybe Your Majesty is too idle to see me......"
Li Daozheng's expression was a little worried: "Why do I feel widowed...... What kind of official did Majesty seal you? ”
Li Su looked directly at his father. said: "Officer, father, I am about to go to war." ”
Li Daozheng was shocked, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes: "No, this is not right!" What kind of battle do you fight with a milk baby? There is no reason for the Guanzhong government soldiers to let the only son in the family go to battle......"
Turning to look at the two sergeants, Li Daozheng said anxiously, "Wrong." You are wrong, my baby is not married yet, and he is the only son in the family, why did he go on the expedition? Wrong! ”
The two sergeants looked at each other, and reluctantly hugged their fists at Li Su: "My lord, the general of the bull of Langya County sent me two generals to send the body and official uniform, and issued a military order. Please be sure to arrive, otherwise military law will be ruthless. ”
After the two sergeants saluted and said goodbye, Li Daozheng stared at the official body notice and official uniform placed on the stone table in the courtyard in a daze, and suddenly lost his strength, and sat on the ground like collapse, and kept muttering: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong." My baby is an only son, why did you go on the expedition? ”
Li Su squatted down. Helping the old man up, he said: "Dad, this is the holy decree of His Majesty, which cannot be changed, the child has an official position in the army, and there is no need to charge into battle." Only in the general's tent to know the military aircraft, there is no worry about your life on this trip, Dad, you can rest assured. ”
Li Daozheng trembled violently, hung his head and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.
"Rest assured. I can only rest assured, what can I do...... Baby, dad doesn't know how to read, and he doesn't understand the truth, since his majesty is called, you must have the ability, dad watched you grow up, I don't know where your ability suddenly came from, don't pursue it, I Guanzhong's children serve the country and kill the enemy, every household sends their children to the battle, they all send the baby into the ghost gate, whether they are dead or alive depends on luck, I can't stop it, baby, you must take care of yourself, you must live...... You're the only incense left, you can't have anything to do ......"
Li Daozheng turned his back to Li Su, his burly body trembled violently, he walked slowly towards the house step by step, his back was usually as tall as a pine, but at this moment it was like a hollowed out old tree.
***********************************************************
Songzhou is located in Shudi, about ...... from Chang'an A lot of miles.
Not in the mood to calculate the distance, thinking about walking from the Loess Plateau to the Sichuan Basin, Li Su felt very congested and wanted to be a deserter.
The road is far away, you can't treat yourself too badly, men should be good to themselves, and those men who are not good to themselves are tired to death after hearing this......
So Li Su decided to go to Chang'an Mule and Horse Market to buy a good horse, and now he is not a rich man, rich people never walk on their feet, and it is the same when they fight.
I didn't bother to ask if the army allowed private people to buy horses, I bought them first, and then I was an official, so I should always have the right to ride a horse, right?
casually cleaned up, and was about to ask the Wang brothers to accompany him into Chang'an City, when there was a neighing of horses outside the courtyard.
A very familiar princess palace guard led a blue-maned horse to stand outside the door, the saddle was bulging, but a new pair of Chiba armor, and a long sword hung on the leather bag next to the saddle.
The guard smiled politely at Li Su, then respectfully led the horse into the courtyard, and after saluting with fists, he only said that this was given by Princess Dongyang, and then said goodbye and left.
The very miraculous horse, tethered to the ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard, made a snort from time to time, and its front hooves landed on the ground with some impatience.
Li Su felt a burst of warmth in his heart, gently stroking the horse's oily mane, the horse shook his head and twisted his head, sniffed at him, and snorted again.
Pulling the reins and stepping into the stirrups, Li Su tried to ride on, but the horse was not very obedient and kept dodging to the side, Li Su took a long time to not even step on the horse's back.
It's so shameless, Li Su stared at it hatefully, the horse shook his head, and spewed a mouthful of hot air with saliva and snot at him, seeming to ...... Laughing at him?
There is no way to take this beast, the village is full of farming households, and there seem to be few who can ride horses, so Li Su had to find Dongyang again.
Because of riding a horse or because he wanted to see her again, Li Su himself didn't know.
…………
"Don't want it, return it. Discount, ten dollars sold to you. Li Su said dissatisfiedly, in the woods not far from the princess's mansion, the horses were tied to a tree, bowing their heads and gnawing on the grass, very leisurely.
Dongyang snorted angrily: "What I gave you, you will sell it to me in turn." Do you want to be shameless? This horse was bought by me from Dongshi, it is a mixture of Dawan and Longyou horse breeds, the guards who know horses in the house It is a very good horse, and a good horse has been ruined by you. ”
Li Su's face darkened: "Pay attention, what am I doing to spoil a horse?" …… Is it female? ”
"Male."
"That's even more wrong, I don't have that hobby, I can't ride this horse, it's too disobedient."
"How can you march without horses? Chang'an to Songzhou thousands of miles, with your lazy nature. Will they walk over on their feet? Dongyang gave him a blank look.
Li Su thought for a while and said, "I'll buy a donkey and ride a donkey to the army." ”
Dongyang sneered: "Don't be ashamed, tens of thousands of troops fluttered their flags, and went straight to Songzhou with murderous spirits. This kind of scum who loses the face of the Tang Dynasty soldiers will not wait for Songzhou. Uncle Niu beheaded you first,...... and with your donkey. ”
Li Su's face became darker and darker: "Your mouth is getting more and more poisonous, who taught you badly?" ”
"Who else but you?"
Dongyang glared at him, walked over and untied the horse's reins, grabbed it in his hand, and said, "Look at it." Look how I ride. ”
Dongyang was called out of the house by Li Su as if he expected what he would do, wearing a men's gown, and his hair bun was also tied into a bun like a man's head, and after that, he held the reins and stepped his feet into the stirrups, only about a third of the way. Then he touched the mane of the horse, quickly got on the horse, and in the blink of an eye he rode steadily on the horse's back, straightened his waist heroically, and raised his eyebrows at him defiantly.
Li Su's eyes were bright, not because of horseback riding, but because of ...... In the past, this girl's legs and feet were hidden in her skirt and couldn't be seen, but today I found out that her legs are very long.
"How? Have you learned? Dongyang dismounted and handed him the reins.
"Didn't learn, how many more times will you take it?" Li Su blinked.
The bad gaze made Dongyang suddenly alert, and he snorted: "No, you try it yourself." ”
Li Su's mind is even more evil, is this the domineering female president's version of "sit up and move yourself"?
"How did you know how to ride a horse?" Li Su asked curiously.
Dongyang said lightly: "The palace teaches, the emperor's grandfather and father are all immediately the world, both the prince and the princess must learn to ride and shoot, in fact, I don't ride well, barely able to run, those princes are good, and a few princesses, they are often invited to go out of the city to hunt together, I like to be quiet, horseback riding is just a casual learning, the horse can move is enough." ”
Seemingly unwilling to talk more about the people and things in the palace, Dongyang glared at him and said, "Try it, I'm going to go on the expedition in two days, I can't even ride a horse, is it a shame?" ”
Learning to ride a horse is very hard, from morning to afternoon, Li Su can only barely ride on the horse, shaking the reins to make the horse run but difficult, and this horse's temper is not too good, several times angry, Li Su off the horse's back, so painful that Li Su wants to pretend to be disabled as a deserter.
After a whole day of study, according to what Dongyang taught, the reins in his hands were relaxed, and the heels gently kicked the horse's belly, the horse snorted, taking reluctant steps, and slowly walked up and down step by step, Li Su also relaxed all over his body, with the rhythm of the horse's back up and down, one person and one horse walked around the edge of the woods, and the tacit understanding became more and more sufficient.
Li Su was very excited, this ...... Kind of learned, right?
Dongyang has been patiently teaching him, and when he saw that the horse was finally able to go, he couldn't help but smile happily.
"Gone! Look at how I will capture the flag and take the head of the general in the army of ten thousand horses! Li Su waved goodbye to Dongyang in high spirits.
Urging the horse to go, he found that the horse did not move, and the reins were tightly grasped in a white and slender hand.
Looking down, Dongyang stood under the horse, his eyes showing a deep reluctance to leave.
"Li Su, I won't send you the day after tomorrow, the march is hard, the battlefield is dangerous, you must take care of yourself, you must come back, I will sit by the river beach every day,...... Waiting for you. ”
