91, Luoyang 10
There is a reason why Ma Lin was surprised. When the pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info the former Han Dynasty, most of the founding heroes were born as scoundrels, so the government and the opposition had a martial and aggressive style from top to bottom, but with the influence of Confucianism, at the beginning of this dynasty, even those generals who founded the country, they all had the atmosphere of Confucianism, advocating religion and courtesy, and the fashion of travel was not advocating riding a horse and galloping, but sitting in an ox cart, steady and modest.
On the one hand, it is true that the bumpy road conditions in ancient times and the shock absorption effect of horse-drawn carriages are not as good as those of ox carts moving slowly, but on the other hand, there is also a situation where the literary style is becoming more and more prosperous, and some of the martial and aggressive atmosphere of the past is gradually fading.
There are pros and cons.
For example, Ma Lin was surprised and happy to meet the competition of chasing horses, but those who came and went to play and go on the banks of the Luoyang River suffered in the screams.
The two knights, dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, seemed to ignore the crowd, and blindly scrambled from east to west, galloping all the way, knocking over several people one after another. For a while, there was a commotion in the crowd of playing, some of the pedestrians who were hit by the horses were just bumping and bumping, and some were knocked out directly before they had time to dodge, and the crowd of riots had a violent collision and crowding, and some people were knocked down and stepped on the ground in the panic.
"Where did the evil slave come from, how dare to ignore the law so much and hurt people!"
Wei Xuan here saw that the two knights hit people regardless of the ground, and changed color, although in Luoyang City often heard that the powerful and illegal things happened, but like this kind of disregard for pedestrians, the horse even knocked down several people's evil deeds He encountered for the first time, he was not in the army when he was also a good ranger, fighting unevenly, although he was a little restrained after joining the army, but at this time he witnessed the evil deeds, as soon as the anger came up, he was going to get on the horse to chase, Cao Yuan was afraid that he would lose, so he hurriedly got on the horse to keep up, Meng Tu and Ma Lin were not in a hurry, It's just that he also had the intention of watching the excitement, got up and ran to the eating horse, quickly turned over and got on the horse, and followed the past, Yan Xing took Gan Ling, Yan Xing, and Zhou Liang at the end, and everyone chased after him together.
Wei Xuan had a bow and arrow on his saddle, and he saw that the two horsemen who were attacking the horses were quite far away, and the horses were fast, so he stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow on one side, but was stopped by Cao Yuan, who was riding over. Cao Yuan has been in the Northern Army for several years, and he has seen some big scenes in this important place in Beijing, like this kind of competitive game between the powerful and wealthy who race horses on the street and collide with pedestrians, he has also heard a lot, seeing that Wei Xuan was angry for a while, he wanted to do it, and he hurriedly rushed over to stop his behavior of preparing to shoot arrows
Cao Yuan has a calm personality, although he also hates this kind of behavior of ignoring pedestrians and galloping horses, but he doesn't want Wei Xuan to do it, in his opinion, maybe Wei Xuan's archery skills are exquisite, and it is not difficult for a knight to run in a long-distance shot, but whether he misses or not, it is not a good thing for Wei Xuan, a middle- and lower-level military officer in the Northern Army.
If you miss the shot and accidentally injure other people, it is doing a good thing and doing a bad thing, not only did the perpetrator not catch it, but instead put himself into this kind of lawsuit that was originally a mess. And if he is shot, the perpetrator can stay, but he also offends the forces behind these two knights in fresh clothes and angry horses, these two knights in fresh clothes and angry horses are so unscrupulous, they are either powerful sons or rich slaves, they have been in the northern army for a long time, and Cao Yuan has become a little numb to the illegal acts of some powerful people, and he doesn't want Wei Xuan to spoil his future in the army in order to eliminate violence and peace.
Wei Xuan has always regarded Cao Yuan as the first to look forward, Cao Yuan personally rushed over to stop him, he also instantly understood what Cao Yuan meant, and for a while, the idea of eliminating violence and peace gradually calmed down, he didn't know the hidden danger behind the action just now, but today he drank some wine and made several friends, and his heart was happy, and he had a lot less scruples about looking forward and backward.
Now, as soon as Cao Yuan stopped and reminded him, he immediately came to his senses, although he was unwilling and shook his horsewhip aggrievedly, he still subconsciously lowered the speed of his horse, and no longer had the idea of rushing over to shoot the two knights who were arsoning the horse. But Ma Lin and Meng Tu in the back didn't think so much, they saw these two knights galloping and competing, and they were also a little itchy for a while, they wanted to step forward to catch the perpetrator who didn't care about human life, and they also wanted to compete with these two knights with superb horsemanship, so after Wei Xuan and Cao Yuan lowered their horse speed, they quickly crossed the two and chased after them.
"Hurtful thief, leave off!"
Meng Tu was a young man, and while riding a horse to chase after him, he also shouted loudly, wanting to shock the two knights who were chasing in front of him. The two knights did not slow down, and after hitting people, they cursed, and cursed at the pedestrians who were in the way and had no time to avoid, and now they heard the sound of someone chasing after them, and they were not afraid, sneered again and again, sped up their horses, and bumped into one or two more people.
One of the knights kept an eye on it, and while galloping on his horse, he also turned his head to catch a glimpse of Meng Tu and Ma Lin behind the two chasing people, as well as Yan Xing and several other people who were also chasing, faintly showing signs of outflanking them. Knowing of this intention, they quickened their horses to throw off the distance, and just as this time a carriage slowly approached them, accompanied by several servants dressed as slaves.
When he rode his horse past the side of the ox cart, the long whip in his hand struck the ox's head so hard that the whip instantly left a deep blood mark on the ox's face, and the old ox, who had been pulling the cart and walking slowly, was also so painful that he raised his head and neighed, ignoring the shouts of the servants on the cart, spread his legs, and ran as fast as a horse.
The old cow in pain lowered its head, exposed the tips of its horns, spread its legs, and ran faster than a horse in an instant, and the slave on the ox cart hurriedly tried to strangle the bull, shouting at it to stop, but with little effect, once the ox's temper became stubborn, it was difficult to stop him from running alone.
The slaves who were walking with the cart were immediately astonished, and they chased after the ox cart, shouting:
"Hurry up and stop the ox cart and protect the lady!"
But where can a slave who is driving a cart be able to restrain it in a short time, and those pedestrians on the road who had just avoided the two knights' galloping horses saw that there was a crazy bull pulling the cart and rushing over, and they were in a hurry in an instant, and they couldn't dodge and hesitate, where did they still help to restrain the bull.
Meng Tu and Ma Lin chased after the two knights, and the horns of the old bull that ran wildly rushed in their direction, but fortunately, the two of them were more skilled in riding, and turned the horse's head in time, avoiding the oblique thorns on both sides, and were not touched by the horns on the head of the rushing bull.
The two of them were hesitating whether to continue to chase the two fierce and cunning knights, or to turn back to restrain the sore running bull, when the sound of Yan Xing, who was behind them, already sounded in their ears.
"Don't chase it yet, work together to restrain this running bull!"
Yan Xing happened to see this scene in the back, he saw that the two knights were so cunning, and when he saw someone chasing, he did not hurry, but used pedestrians and bulls to hinder them from chasing, and he was not afraid of hurting the innocent again. He didn't want Ma Lin and Meng Tu to chase after him again, so as not to suffer the plots of those two knights again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly.
When Meng Tu and Ma Lin heard Yan Xing's voice, they quickly turned their horses' heads and chased them from behind in the direction of the ox cart.
