Chapter 40: The Pursuit

"You don't know how to ride a horse?" Suddenly, Gu Linghuan was stunned for a moment, poking it there like a piece of wood.

Horseback riding was one of the necessary skills of the ancients, just as modern people had to learn to drive a motorcycle.

In order not to waste time, Chen Ze could only tell the truth: "I have never ridden a horse once since I was a child. ”

Originally, he wanted to find some free time to learn horseback riding and archery, but he couldn't find a suitable venue, so he had to give up.

Time is pressing, temporary cramming is definitely not possible, the best way at the moment is to ride in tandem.

"Since you can't, let's ride a horse."

Gu Linghuan grabbed the saddle, and with a slight touch of his toes, he flipped it up in a very gorgeous posture.

Maybe this is the big guy......

With such a difficult action, I am afraid that only people in the circus can have the opportunity to perform it.

Chen Ze cautiously leaned over, making sure that the horse would not suddenly go crazy, so he dared to grab the saddle and climb up.

However, the stirrups on the saddle seemed to be poisonous, and no matter how many postures he changed to climb, he could not step on them accurately.

After a while, the horse seemed to be tired of waiting, and two white gases suddenly erupted from the nose and mouth of two black holes.

"Hahaha!" When Nie Ying saw this scene, he suddenly laughed and said, "Miss Gu, let's pull him, even that beast can't stand it." ”

Chen Ze ignored the ridicule of a thief, how could he stump a smart person with a small matter in his heart.

At this time, the mane on the horse's back caught his attention, and he remembered that it was mentioned that it was easier to grab the hairs before stepping on the stirrup.

"Don't help anyone, I can do it myself."

Chen Ze decided to try again, and quickly grabbed the mane on the horse's body at the moment, and at the same time used another force under his feet, and finally succeeded in climbing up.

These hairs can really come in handy, although there are some small episodes in the middle, but the first time in his life to get on the horse, it is still almost perfect.

"You...... Isn't it the first time you've ridden a horse, and you know how to grab a horse's mane? ”

Nie Ying, who was dumbfounded, thought that he could continue to watch the other party's jokes, but he didn't expect the situation to change suddenly.

"Humph!" Chen Ze deliberately ridiculed a thief: "Knowledge is power, some people have developed limbs, but they don't learn and don't know how to do it, of course their brains are mush." ”

"Haha, that's funny."

The three women next to him laughed when they heard this, these limbs were well-developed and simple-minded, obviously talking about a certain thief.

In terms of lip service, Chen Ze can throw off Nie Ying for ten streets, so Nie Ying has also learned to be obedient now, so he simply doesn't return the favor, and saves himself from eating deflated.

When parting, Li Xiang reluctantly said: "Childe, I'm not around, you have to take good care of yourself." ”

Chen Ze nodded: "You can rest assured, with the master following, I will definitely be fine." ”

What's more, this is on the official road, even if you encounter any danger, you can escape on horseback at any time.

At this moment, on the official road not far from Yanjing City, several merchants were traveling together, and they were ready to find a place to stay before the weather turned bad.

"Smack!" Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and the fine grit began to jump regularly.

Earthquake? Or is it an act of God?

The merchants slowly turned their heads and saw the most unforgettable spectacular scene in their lives.

Hundreds of iron horsemen in armor were running wildly along the official road, as if they were chasing the enemy.

The leader is Xiao Qicai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and at this time, in his heart, he is holding back a fire and needs to kill someone to resolve it.

"Before dark, you must capture the king of Zhennan, otherwise you will all be transferred to the border pass to fight those barbarian Tartars."

"Yes!"

The armor soldiers did not dare to slack off, and were doing their best to search for suspicious people around them, trying to find their target as soon as possible.

The merchants stood on the side of the road, quietly waiting for the cavalry brigade to pass, and at this moment even the slightest movement would leave them dead without a place to bury.

After about half a pillar of incense, the ground finally stopped shaking, and it was obvious that the cavalry had gone far.

However, just as the merchants relaxed their vigilance, hundreds of heavily armed cavalry appeared in front of them.

The cavalry was dressed differently from the iron cavalry before them, but they looked more well-trained, like a pack of wild wolves running wild across the steppe.

"Tiger ...... Tiger Guard! ”

A well-informed merchant instantly collapsed to the ground in fright when he saw this group of cavalry.

It is rumored that the tiger guards, who can fight ten against one and kill people without blinking, actually dispatched in large numbers.

The Tiger Guards seemed to take several merchants as air, and did not even glance at them, while also speeding up their march.

"Is this going to war?" "Perhaps, even the Tiger Guard has been dispatched, and it is estimated that eight or nine will not be far from ten."

The pedestrians passing by around began to discuss, and it was an iron horse and a tiger guard, and the world seemed to be really chaotic.

"Ahh

Chen Ze, who was galloping in the wilderness on horseback, suddenly sneezed, and at the same time, there was a burning sensation at the root of his ears.

This must be a certain turtle son, cursing himself behind his back, otherwise how can the roots of his ears be hot.

Gu Lingjun reined in his horse and asked, "Is it cold, I remember that there is an inn nearby, let's go and stay first?" ”

"There's an inn around here?" Chen Ze was stunned, except for the wild grass and dead trees, there was not even a figure around, how could there be a place to stay.

Gu Linghuan recalled: "I have been here before, and I did see an inn called Green Forest. ”

Green Forest, such a name in the second middle, in ancient times, there were actually people, the shopkeeper must be a mountain king.

The cold weather really had a great impact on the two of them, and if they didn't rest for a while, they were afraid that they would freeze into popsicles.

"Alright, let's go and stay overnight." Chen Ze instinctively squeezed the hand of his future daughter-in-law, hoping to use his body temperature to warm the other party.

Feeling the heat in his hands, Gu Linghuan felt very comfortable, and took the initiative to hug the apprentice from behind.

"Uh...... Master, Sister Gu, this is not good. ”

The flow rate of Chen Ze's blood began to increase, and such a close distance was to force people to make mistakes.

"All of a sudden, you're getting warmer, like a hot stove." Gu Linghuan noticed something strange and felt a little incredible.

Calm down, calm down, at this critical time, as long as you think about something else in your heart, the feeling of heat will disappear completely.

Chen Ze threw away the beautiful reverie in his mind and replaced it with a dark and cold prison picture, and the whole person instantly became depressed.

"Again...... It's cold again, and your body is very curious. ”

Gu Linghuan found that the apprentice was really extraordinary, his body was originally as hot as a volcano, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a popsicle.

After Chen Ze calmed down, he suddenly asked, "Master, if I were the king of Zhennan, would you be willing to marry me?" ”

Gu Lingjun blinked and replied without thinking, "I don't want to!" ”
