After Luo Zhaoyun's New Year, there was another training, that is, riding!

There are dozens of healthy horses in the manor, and there are conditions for training, so as soon as spring begins, Luo Zhaoyun proposed to let Shi Danai teach him the art of horse riding.

Now, he is familiar with Stanai's relationship and knows some things about him.

Shi Danai was originally a Western Turkic Tler, was recruited to join the Turkic army, was defeated and fled in the battle with the Sui army, lost with the large team, and wandered to the eastern steppe, he was tired of the nomadic life in the past, and there was constant fighting, did not return to the Western Turks, but stayed in the Eastern Turkic life outside Yanshan, and made a living by selling horses.

But the year before last, there was a conflict in the Youzhou area due to the transaction, and he killed a few people by mistake and was imprisoned, Luo Yi spared his talent, saved his life, and sent him over to protect Luo Zhaoyun's safety this time.

Shi Danai has an upright personality and stubborn righteousness, and feels that he owes Luo Gong his life, so he promised to protect Luo Zhaoyun as a return for saving his life.

The Turkic people are mainly nomadic, both men and women, young and old, are good at horseback riding, can draw a bow and shoot arrows, and are very skilled in riding, Luo Zhaoyun was personally guided by Shi Danai, carefully learning the essentials of horse riding, and carrying out strict posture, support and footwork and other basic movements of training every day.

After half a month, Luo Zhaoyun mastered the method of manipulating horses, as well as the experience of taming horses, and the riding posture was accurate, cultivating his psychological quality of being brave and decisive and quick to react.

With the daily horseback riding training for a period of time, his riding skills have become more and more proficient, galloping on horseback, coupled with the practice of martial arts, he has become agile and flexible, his arm strength has doubled, and he can even carry a spear, while riding a horse, while stabbing and robbing.

Time flies, and it's April in the blink of an eye.

The weather is getting hotter and warmer, and the long branches of the willow trees on the bank of the embankment gently brush the ground, and the water ripples and the smoke is misty.

On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and outside Luo Zhaoyun's manor, many vehicles gathered, and the cars were filled with bags of grain and tied with linoleum cloth.

Today I want to go to Huairong County to sell grain, the grain that comes up from the rent every year is not sold in the autumn of that year, because the people have grain in stock, and they are all selling for money, so the price is lower, and then selling it after the beginning of spring, it is in time for the green and yellow to be sold, and the price of selling will be two or three percent more expensive.

Wealthy families often have this kind of mentality, hoarding goods and waiting for prices, compared with those ordinary people who sell grain in season and make a few more dollars per cart, and the amount is huge.

However, some horse thieves and Turkic cats will also be active in the beginning of spring after the winter, robbing convoys and caravans, so this trip is still a bit dangerous.

Luo Zhaoyun naturally won't let go of this opportunity to go out, he wants to go to Huairong County for a walk, it's been a year since he returned to Dasui, he hasn't visited the market and city street, although Jixian County is bigger than Huairong City, but he has been pretending to be stupid at that time, and he didn't have the opportunity to go out shopping.

The grain to be sold this time is rice and corn, and a bag contains one stone of rice, and the number of catties of one stone is different in each historical period. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, one stone and ten buckets, about fifty-three kilograms, plus one catty in the Sui and Tang dynasties is more than 660 grams, after conversion, this stone is equivalent to about 120 catties.

A mule-drawn cart, loaded with fifteen stone corn, a total of forty carts, lined up in a serpentine shape in front and rear, each with a whip and handlebars, in addition to the housekeepers, also hired some long-term laborers, tenants to come and help, a full sixty or seventy people, to drive on the road.

Every year to sell grain, the owner of Yanshan Horse Farm will send nearly 100 soldiers to help escort it, after all, this year has changed hands, people will not send people again.

However, Luo Zhaoyun was escorted by Shi Danai and ten iron guards, and he was not afraid of encountering bandits and horses, so early in the morning, he excitedly put on a military uniform, although it was not a formal armor, but it was wearing a jade-colored collared samurai robe, with armor on his wrists, and a heart guard in his heart, which was ready.

Luo Zhaoyun rode on a horse, wearing a scarf on his head, a seven-star belt around his waist, a sword hanging from his waist, and a spear in his hand.

Zhao Can, Liang Zheng and others are still a lazy soldier and ruffian, after all, it is good to eat and live here, the cat has been in winter, there is no standing guard in the cold winter, drinking wine in the house on a snowy day, holding ten hangs of money every month, very comfortable and idle, now they feel the nourishment of the errand, and the resentment has long been swept away, and even feel that it is not bad to follow Luo Xiaolangjun for a long time!

Each of the householders was given a horizontal knife, and the strong men of the tenants spontaneously brought iron forks and hunting bows to prevent danger on the way, so that they could protect themselves with weapons in their hands.

The Great Sui court is also very strict on the control of weapons, such as spears, broadswords, spears, bows, crossbows and other long weapons, long-range weapons, the people are not allowed to privately hide and wear travel, unless you have an official in the body, but because the Great Sui still implements the government military system, the people have to prepare their own clothes, armor, horizontal knives, etc., so short weapons, basically every family has.

"Ah Lang, I'll go too!"

Ning Muhe ran out, wearing men's clothes, coiled up his long hair, also tied with a turban, short clothes and trousers, a pair of shallow waist black silk shoes under his waist, his figure was very slender, he was carrying a sword on his shoulder, and the apricot yellow sword spike shook in the wind, like a handsome young man!

Luo Zhaoyun hesitated for a moment, looking at Ning Muhe's face full of anticipation, thinking that it would be better to take her out to see the world, she could visit the restaurants and other shops in the town, she would always stay at home, and her vision would be short.

"Can you ride a horse yourself?"

"Yes, the maid has already practiced." Ning Muhe replied with a smile.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, and asked the family to lead a healthy horse for her, Ning Muhe's figure grew taller again, stretched out her hand to pull the saddle, jumped up, and got on the horse's back vigorously, and her movements were similar.

"Hehe, Ah Lang, are you okay with your movements?" Ning Muhe asked happily.

"So-so!" Luo Zhaoyun pursed his lips, turned his head with a smile, and ordered the convoy to set off.

In the ancient transportation, pay attention to the south ship and the north horse, the south water system is more, to ship transportation, and the transportation in the north is naturally based on cars and horses, donkeys, cattle and so on are the rural people short-distance use, long distance is generally used mules, long strength, and camel power, horses are mostly used for war, the common people rarely raise horses.

"Jingle Bell—"

The bells tied to the carriages, horses and mules rang non-stop, and the convoy was on the road, first walking on the dirt road in the countryside, and after walking for dozens of miles, it was already on the hard sand road of the official road, almost so rugged and shaky.

Luo Zhaoyun and Ning Muhe both went out on horseback for the first time, their faces were full of excitement, the spring breeze blew, their long hair flew up gently, they were refreshed, and they felt very comfortable watching the mountains and rivers all the way.

At noon, the convoy simply stopped to rest, and everyone ate some dry food, pickles, and dried meat, and then continued to hurry, striving to reach Huairong County at dusk, and then be able to find a mansion to rent accommodation in the city, which is much safer than setting up tents outside the city.

As far as I know, after resting at noon, I had just set off for a few miles, when I saw a village in the distance with thick smoke billowing and crying loudly, and a group of cavalrymen wearing Hu uniforms were washing the village in blood, fighting for money, food, cattle and sheep, and young women.

The people in the village, where could they resist such a brave and fierce cavalry charge, and soon, screams, cries of pain, and screams were mixed together, enveloping a radius of two miles.

"It's not good, it seems to be a group of Turkic horse thieves on the grassland, breaking into the pass to fight the grass valley and loot the village, let's leave quickly!" Zhao Can saw that this was not good, and shouted loudly.

As soon as his words fell, several sentry posts that seemed to be scattered by Turkic horse thieves in the distance spotted the caravan and immediately blew their horns.
