Chapter 51: Ning Guogong

It's a one-step approach, it's just a little too cruel.

Luo Bai looked at Changyang Mingyue, and the other party raised his arm with a wry smile: "I was chased by a wolf." ”

Is this not passed?

"There are still six days until the autumn season, is it too late?"

This is not a problem in the first place, because it should not be a problem.

"What if it's too late? Now it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, taking one step at a time. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the location of the team.

Seeing them coming, a young man in a soldier's uniform approached.

The young man is very old, sixteen or seventeen years old, but there is a trace of calmness between his eyebrows.

Especially when walking, the lower plate is very stable.

The young man came to the two of them and saluted directly: "Little master, why are you here again?" ”

With a little young master, Luo Bai, who listened to it, looked confused, and didn't know what was going on.

Changyang Mingyue also said helplessly: "It's not a big deal, rub some medicine, and I'll come back." ”

Seeing that the other party was about to say more, he hurriedly pulled out Luo Bai: "Captain, when I went back, I happened to meet Lu Ling, and this kid finally recovered from his illness and came back." You see......"

The boy finally shifted his gaze to Luo Bai.

The full beard and the wrinkles on his forehead surprised the other party a little, this person, how can he not look like he is seventeen years old?

He said uncertainly: "I remember that Lu Ling who was notified at that time was only seventeen years old, and he was seventeen years old?" ”

To be honest, thirty-seven is more than that.

Luo Bai was also simply, bent down and pulled out a handful of hay, and with the help of the dew on the hay, he wiped off all the wrinkles that Ah Luo drew with a pen.

In an instant, a thirty-year-old man became a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and it was this face that became a flower ass.

Changyang Mingyue saw that he was still going to ask, so she quickly interjected: "Pei Gu, now that time is pressing, it's important to train quickly, if there is anything, you can wait until the end of the night." ”

Pei Gu wanted to figure things out, but in the end he opened his mouth and acquiesced to Changyang's proposal.

"Come this way."

At this point, Luo Bai has preliminarily entered the sequence of the Qiu Qiu team.

In the pasture, some people are practicing horseback riding, some are practicing archery, and some are challenging wolves.

Luo Bai's team is still practicing horseback riding and archery.

Changyang Mingyue bravely tried the second stage, but as soon as he got on the horse, the horse was frightened by the wolf and threw him off.

"So now, like you, I'm still going to lay the foundation first."

Pei Gu didn't introduce Luo Bai immediately, not because he was embarrassed, after all, time was too precious now.

"Wait until the evening is over and we'll officially meet. Now, let's train first. ”

Luo Bai nodded.

"Now come with me to get the training horses."

The imperial court attached great importance to this autumn festival, and was equipped with a full number of horses.

The two walked up to a black horse, and Pei Gu said, "How about this one?" ”

This horse is not good, there is too much gray horsehair mixed in the black mane, and you can't really find it if you don't look closely. But Luo Bai has learned after all, and the people who taught him, whether it is Han Wuxin, Ah Luo, or the previous barbarian, are all good hands.

Luo Bai did not immediately get on the horse, he stood in front of the horse, looked at it, and then untied the horse's reins and touched its head. And along its head, to its neck.

It wasn't until the horse's front hooves kept jumping and its head was raised that it was taken away.

Pei Gu has always been by his side, and when he saw that he did have a set of horse taming, not only did his eyes light up, but he said with a smile: "There is an expert in our team." You hurry to train, I can't say that it will depend on you when the time comes. ”

Luo Bai didn't understand this very well: "What do you mean?" ”

Pei Gu smiled bitterly: "According to the current state, it is impossible to want all the 10,000 troops to participate in the course of running and hunting. The general was ready to select five thousand people from the large army to participate. But even then, it's hard to be satisfied. So, if the other nine of us can't meet the requirement of 'mastering mounted archery', I hope you can participate on our behalf." ”

A team, if no one is satisfied, is really unreasonable.

He pinned his hopes on Changyang Mingyue before, but this injury also hit him hard.

Luo Bai nodded.

Back on the grassland, Luo Bai's heart was surging.

Luo Bai did not start training directly, but rode his horse on the pasture.

The so-called mounted archery is to shoot arrows on horseback, which is the symbol of the archery battalion. But now it seems that this is far from the case,

In the case of high-speed galloping, the visual capture of prey and the impact on the bow and arrow are the key points to be mastered.

Coincidentally, Han Wuxin, Ah Luo, and the barbarian all taught him.

But this is the second phase of training, and he doesn't have to worry about it yet. All he had to do now was to familiarize himself with the horse.

The barbarian said that horses are psychic creatures, and if you treat it well, it will treat you well.

He rode on his horse, adjusting himself to the frequency of the horse's hooves, so that his center of gravity was stable and his body was more balanced.

"Horses have feelings, and for their partners, they can trust their lives."

This is a sentence that the barbarian said to him.

Maybe the horse wasn't his partner at the moment, but he had to think so.

I don't know when, Changyang Mingyue followed: "You ride really steadily." ”

Luo Bai smiled: "You are also very stable. ”

The two did not have a deep chat, and walked forward side by side.

I don't know when, Changyang Mingyue suddenly sped up. Two horses side by side, one over the head, then half a position, up to one position.

Luo Bai looked at Changyang Mingyue, who suddenly ran to the front, subconsciously clamped the horse's belly and chased forward.

"Who did you learn this equestrian from? I feel more stable than the head of the sect here. ”

Luo Bai's eyes flashed, and he felt as if he had unintentionally exposed something.

"The family teaches, and after learning for a long time, they become proficient."

Changyang Mingyue just asked casually, and she didn't feel that it was inappropriate.

"It's still prescient in your family, I can't, when I was young, my father didn't love my mother, I basically didn't ask, although I was free, but I didn't learn much. Now that I'm going to use it, I suddenly found that I can't even ride a horse. It's a pity. ”

Luo Bai thought so.

Linked to what Huo Zong said when they first came, perhaps the reason why his family didn't care about him was that he was really not angry when he was a child, and the family put all the eyes and expectations on his brothers. When his brothers were gone, he found that only this unscrupulous male heir was left in the family.

So, the dead horse, as a live horse doctor, drove him here.

"We're all young, and there will be opportunities in the future. But this time is really an opportunity, or should it be seized, do you say, Brother Changyang? ”

Changyang Mingyue looked at Luo Bai who came up from behind in a daze, and somehow, he felt that the stand-in for Lu Ling in front of him seemed a little familiar.

Luo Bai focused on riding a horse, the reins in his hands, the saddle under his crotch, the stirrups under his feet, all these equipment objects, he mastered the essence of the horse as he rode the horse.

Tightness, strength, and that speed.

As the horses were running, he kept adjusting and made the best choice.

So, without him realizing it, he caught up with Changyang Mingyue, and then side by side, and finally overtook it, until Changyang Mingyue's voice sounded from behind him, he came back to his senses, looking at the distance that had been more than ten zhang away, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes: "Brother Changyang, what's wrong?" ”

Changyang Mingyue panted and caught up, and said with a wry smile: "I'm chasing you hard, but I can't catch up." ”

Finally took a breath, his face was a little flushed and excited: "Brother Lu, your riding skills are really amazing, obviously you are a new horse, it is unbelievable that you can run at such a speed." ”

Luo Bai grabbed the reins and said with a smile: "Tomorrow we will be together in the champion camp, and we will all be brothers of the champion camp, not to speak two words." ”

The noon meal was pulled by a horse-drawn carriage.

A bowl of porridge, a piece of meat.

"Train right away, it's too much physical exertion. In order to achieve the desired effect, the imperial court allocated gold and silver to improve our food. ”

Luo Bai frowned.

If the imperial court really cares about this autumn festival, it should inform the training subjects in advance, but what is the use of sharpening guns in battle instead of being like now?

"Can you train well if you eat well? The autumn drill is not about whether the food is good or not! ”

Changyang Mingyue immediately tugged at his sleeve, and Luo Bai looked at the eyes of the people around him, and immediately kept silent.

Pei Gu coughed lightly: "Lu Ling, this is a military brigade, and you can't criticize the decisions of the imperial court." ”

Luo Bai ate a large piece of meat, gulped down the soup, and then turned to leave.

Changyang Mingyue took a sip of soup, picked up the piece of meat and chased after it.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! ”

Luo Bai slowed down.

"Brother Lu, you and Lu Ling know each other, didn't he tell you anything?"

Luo Bai felt that what he said was interesting, and said solemnly: "What do you mean?" ”

Changyang Mingyue pulled him away from everyone: "Go first." ”

The two went to the training pasture and found their horses.

"Let's continue to train in riding?"

Luo Bai turned over and got on his horse and rushed out first.

After a quarter of an hour, there was no one around.

"Can you say it now?"

Changyang Mingyue smiled bitterly: "I'll call you Brother Lu." Brother Lu, you'd better not know about this, after all, you're just training for Lu Ling, and you can't get involved. ”

Luo Bai smiled and asked, "In other words, Brother Changyang has already been involved?" ”

Changyang Mingyue did not refute.

"It's not just me, even Lu Ling and their family have also been involved. Or would he have been hiding until now? ”

Could it be that Lu Ling is hiding and idle, in addition to his own reasons, there are other things?

"The court is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and I won't talk about external troubles, but this internal trouble, as long as it is a battle between the old and the new!"

Old and new?

He immediately thought of what Mu Yichu said: New and old families!

"Since Emperor Wutong succeeded to the throne of the dynasty, he has suppressed the old nobles who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world in disguise, and reused a group of new people to expand the territory, trying to find a balance between the old and new nobles."

Luo Bai immediately felt chills.

What Changyang said is similar to what Mu Yichu said, but this meaning is tens of millions of miles away.

"Balance has been found, but it has also formed a struggle between the old and the new. Among the four expeditionary armies and the four sides of the protectors, the only ones who can coexist peacefully are the Anxi metropolitan protectors and the expeditionary western armies. As for the reason, it is because the capital protector of Anxi is also the second titled general of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he is under his command, and the Western Regions are still sincerely cooperating. ”

"But in the other three places, there are some detached looks."

Luo Bai had a worried look on his face.

This march to fight, the most afraid of the generals and commanders are not compatible, otherwise how can they fight?

But what does this have to do with what's in front of you?

"But among the old and new families, there are two very special ones, one is the Luo family. Because there are no offspring, no one wants to offend them. After all, there are two great generals in one family, and they are not comparable to other families. ”

"And the other family, the Lian family, is called Ning Guogong!"

"They are also the existence that neither the old nor the new families want to offend, because they are only responsible to the royal family."

"But this time, the matter is coming towards their family, otherwise how could Qiu Qiu's class wait until the army arrives to report it?"
