Chapter Seventy-Six: Absent-mindedness

This night was full of drinks, and Yuan Cong's children killed the children of the Shuzhong family and returned defeated.

On the second day, Jiang Wei slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then slowly woke up.

Although it is a foregone conclusion that the matter of going to Jingzhou is a foregone conclusion, it will take time to prepare the rewards and consolation documents, and when it can really be done, I don't know what year and month it will take. As soon as he thought of this verse, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

In the middle of his thoughts, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Mi Wei, Wei Rong, and the Zhao brothers strode hand in hand. Before a few people entered the account, Zhang Bao's rough voice had already come:

"Is Boyo up?"

"Yesterday, those local tyrants were not convinced, and today they invited me to try archery, and the winner is more than hunting. I can't do archery, and Anguo's archery skills have not improved. But we don't want to lose face, so we just make these gentlemen laugh, so we can only come to you for help. ”

Jiang Wei welcomed a few people inside, but Wei Rong and the Zhao brothers were unwilling to dismount and waited outside the tent.

Because he had something in his heart, he had to politely refuse: "I have the heavy responsibility of defending the battalion in my lower body, and I don't dare to delay." I'm afraid I'm going to let them down. ”

Mi Wei was sleepy-eyed and muttered, "Boyo just go." I drank too much last night, and today I will stay in the camp to guard. Also, you must be careful, I faintly heard the roar of a tiger yesterday......"

Guan Xing laughed and said: "It's just right to have a tiger, just enough for the master to stretch his muscles." ”

A few people chatted casually, but Wei Rong outside the tent began to shout: "Brothers, hurry up, those dog days have run away!" But as soon as this sentence fell, I suddenly heard a "plop" sound, as if someone had fallen off the horse, and then, Wei Rong's respectful and panicked voice came: "See... I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen General Zhao! ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen my father!"

Hearing the three people outside the door say this, everyone hurriedly went out to greet them, and sure enough, Zhao Yun led Liu Chan and came slowly.

Liu Chan was very polite, with a round little belly, he bowed down with a smile and said, "Adou has seen two brothers, and the generals are polite." ”

Everyone didn't dare to accept it, and they all hurried to salute.

Zhao Yun said: "I can't find you in the morning, so I am hiding here." ”

Zhang Bao asked, "I don't know what General Zhao commands?" ”

Liu Chan hurriedly said: "I heard that the two brothers were going hunting, so I begged my father to allow me to go with me. Father, he was already ready. ”

Zhao Yun bowed his head and said, "Not bad." Hunting is also a way to practice martial arts, and it is rare for the prince to have the heart to practice martial arts, so the lord naturally readily agrees. You are a few strong in martial arts, and you will protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. ”

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing watched Liu Chan grow up wearing open crotch pants, they were very familiar with each other, and they were willing to be close, so they immediately agreed.

Liu Chan clapped his hands and said happily: "Great, great, two brothers, take me to catch rabbits!" "One by one, he pulled the two of them out of the tent.

Zhao Yun turned to Jiang Wei's side and said in a low voice: "The safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is related to the country, and the stakes are very high, and there must be no mistakes. A few of them are reckless, but you are calm, Boyo, you stay close to the prince, and you must take care of it, understand? ”

Zhao Yun is the chief and half of the master, since he has an entrustment, Jiang Wei does not dare to disobey at all, and immediately bowed down and replied: "The last general understands, he will not leave His Royal Highness the Prince." Rest assured, general. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, glanced at Liu Chan again, and turned to leave.

Outside the tent, the soldiers had already brought their mounts. Everyone is a good horse, and it is inevitable to make comparisons at this time.

Jiang Wei's little white horse and Zhang Bao's black horse are the most miraculous; Guan Xing's Chilu was born to his father's mount, the Red Rabbit Horse, and he was not far behind; Although the mounts of the Zhao brothers and Wei Rong are slightly inferior, they are also one in a hundred miles and quite majestic.

Only Liu Chan's mount is just a short pony, lined by these horses around him, and his arms and legs are even thinner, which is useless.

Seeing this, Liu Chan did not comply, and shouted to change horses. Everyone was stunned for a while, most of the war horses are fierce, and non-strong men are not allowed to gallop, in this hurry, where to find a strong and docile horse?

Jiang Wei shook his head and said in his heart: "After all, it is the heart of a child." ”

He wasn't in the mood to hunt, but he got Zhao Yun's instructions, so he simply accompanied this Adou for a ride. So he said, "Your Highness come down and ride the horse of the last general." He also said to Zhang Bao and others: "You go first, don't miss the appointment." Under the command of a few soldiers to protect His Highness. ”

Everyone was relieved, arched their hands, and urged their horses to gallop forward. Speaking of which, they don't want to lose face in front of those children of the family.

Xiao Bai's body was snow-white, and the divine horse was abnormal, Liu Chan was already happy, and he clapped his hands and laughed at the moment: "Okay, this horse is really good-looking!" So saying, he was going up.

It's just that Xiaobai is tall and long, and Liu Chan is still a child, so he can't go up for a while, so he can only look at Jiang Wei with a pair of innocent eyes.

Jiang Wei confessed, picked him up, and put him on horseback. With him personally leading, Xiaobai did not resist, only drooped his head, lightly stepped on his four hooves, and walked forward step by step.

This speed was just right, Liu Chan enjoyed the scenery of riding a high-headed horse, and there was no expected bumps and panic. He lowered his head, stroked Xiaobai's supple mane, and exclaimed, "This horse is so beautiful." General Jiang, does he have a name? ”

Jiang Wei smiled and replied, "His name is Xiaobai." Small is the size of the small, white is the white of white. ”

Liu Chan didn't leave Xiaobai, and asked again, "How old is he?" ”

Jiang Wei had observed Xiaobai's teeth before, so he replied, "About six years old." ”

"It's so young, it's only half my age."

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, the lifespan of a horse is about thirty percent of a person's, and it is only about twenty to thirty years old. From birth, the first twelve months are considered ponies; Before the age of five, it is considered a young horse; Five to sixteen years old are middle-aged horses; After the age of sixteen, he is considered an old horse. Xiaobai is six years old this year, and according to the lifespan of a person, he should be about eighteen years old, which is in the prime of his youth. ”

"It's a long time to see."

Liu Chan was full of interest and kept asking questions all the way. Jiang Wei patiently answered them one by one, he led the horse and walked for a while, and came to a meadow, a stream passed through the edge of the meadow, and not far away was a forest.

The grass beneath your feet is moist, and even in late autumn, there is a hint of greenery. Several hares, with their grey fur and ears pricked up, were grazing on the grass.

Liu Chan saw it from a distance on horseback, and said excitedly: "Rabbit! Rabbit! I'm going to shoot a rabbit, help me down! ”

Jiang Wei had no choice but to hug him down. Before Liu Chan landed, he urged: "Bow!" Bow! ”

A eunuch on the side hurriedly handed over an object, Jiang Wei saw it at first glance, and immediately couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the "bow" in Liu Chan's mouth turned out to be a small slingshot.
