Li Shimin was only one year older than Li Xuanba, and while he was spending his mental effort calculating, Li Xuanba was thinking about how to learn to ride a horse. It's been more than half a year since he woke up, and Li Xuanba still can't ride a horse, as the first warrior of the Great Sui, it's a bit ridiculous to say.

Zhang Xutuo led his troops to defeat the cavalry of Wagangzhai and captured a lot of war horses, most of these war horses came from the Turks and had excellent bloodlines, and even Qin Qiong salivated when he saw those war horses.

Li Xuanba didn't know how to identify horses, but he could see from the eyes of others that these war horses were precious. So, he asked Zhang Xutuo for a horse with a shy face.

Anyway, after all, Li Xuanba got so much money, silver, grain and grass for the army, Zhang Xutuo was embarrassed to refuse, so he generously agreed and let Li Xuanba choose by himself.

"Childe, if you don't go into battle to kill the enemy, what do you want to do with the horse?" Captain Xiao asked puzzledly: "No matter where the son goes, there are villains with you, so why bother?" Besides, Childe, you are not in good health, why take the risk of learning to ride a horse? ”

"You know what?" Li Xuanba smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Two big men always ride a horse, don't you feel awkward?" ”

Captain Xiao thought about it seriously, felt that there was nothing wrong, shook his head, and said, "The villain doesn't feel awkward. ”

Li Xuanba glanced at him helplessly and said, "You lead your horse well, where is there so much nonsense?" ”

Learning to ride a horse is not an easy task.

The two came to an open place, and Captain Xiao handed the reins to Li Xuanba, and said: "Childe, horses have spirituality, if you want this horse to be obedient, you must first cultivate a relationship with it." ”

"How do you develop a relationship with it?" Li Xuanba took the reins and asked, "Isn't it to get on the horse and tame him?" ”

"If it's just an ordinary horse, of course Childe can tame it." Captain Xiao stroked the horse's fur and said, "But this horse is from the Turks, although it is tame and well-behaved by Wagangzhai, but it is manic in nature, and the son is still careful." ”

Li Xuanba nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give it a name first." ”

The horse was blood-red, with a long mane and a head raised high, full of pride. It saw that Li Xuanba and Captain Xiao's eyes fell on him, let out a hiss, and kicked his front hooves twice.

"There was a red rabbit in ancient times, famous all over the world, you are handsome, naturally you should have a good name." Li Xuanba pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you just call you Xiaohong?" ”

When Xiao Xiaowei heard Li Xuanba's previous words, he was full of expectations, and when he heard the name Xiaohong again, his jaw dropped in shock. The horse seemed to be genuinely psychic, panting and moving its head to show displeasure.

"Childe, you're not serious, are you?" Captain Xiao said shamefully: "This is a first-class war horse, and it is really inappropriate to take such a name." ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to develop a relationship with it?" Li Xuanba said strangely: "Since you want to cultivate feelings, it's always okay to make a joke with it, right?" ”

Captain Xiao was speechless for a while, and said in his heart: Although horses are human, they are not so magical.

Li Xuanba also ignored Captain Xiao's expression, walked to the horse, and said softly: "Since you don't like the name Xiaohong, then call you Chiyan." ”

Red is red, flame is fire, and the name Red Flame is a good match for this horse.

Xiao Xiaowei didn't read much, but he also felt that the name was good, and nodded involuntarily.

Li Xuanba led Chiyan and walked around for a whole afternoon, and Captain Xiao was worried at first that Li Xuanba would be in a hurry to get on the horse, so he followed him all the time. Later, when he saw that Li Xuanba had been communicating with Chiyan, but he had no intention of getting on the horse, he put his mind at ease, listened to Li Xuanba's instructions, and returned to the camp alone.

"I know you're fierce, but I'm going to tell you, I'm even stronger." When Captain Xiao stopped following, Li Xuanba said threateningly: "You'd better be obedient in front of me, if you hurt me, hmph, I don't mind eating another meal of meat." ”

Chiyan didn't understand what Li Xuanba was saying, he just drooped his ears, as if he was a little fed up with Li Xuanba's talking.

After more than half a year of recuperation, Li Xuanba has become stronger, but he still can't compare with Xiao Xiaowei and others, and now that Xiao Xiaowei is no longer following, how could Chiyan put Li Xuanba in his eyes, hissed, and was about to run away.

Li Xuanba snorted coldly, took a step forward with his right leg, his body was slightly sideways, and the hand holding the reins used brute force. Before Chi Yan could pick up speed, he felt the reins tighten. Then it stumbled, and its hind limbs fell to its knees.

Chi Yan turned his head and looked at Li Xuanba in horror like a human.

"I've said it all, my temperament is stronger." Li Xuanba sneered and said, "Do you want to try again?" Seeing that Li Xuanba's eyes were not good, Chiyan suddenly became uneasy, lowered his head, and behaved like a pet.

No one could have imagined that Li Xuanba's thin body had such a lot of strength, and it was naturally even more impossible for Chiyan to know. Now Chiyan feels that Li Xuanba's strength is even more terrifying than the previous master, how dare it continue to be arrogant?

The previous owner of Chiyan was none other than Xu Shiji of Wagangzhai, and before Xu Shiji, the owner of Chiyan was Zhai Rang.

In the first battle between Wagangzhai and Zhang Xutuo, Xu Shiji's war horse was split in half by Zhang Xutuo, but Xu Shiji saved Zhai Rang after all, and Zhai Rang gave Xu Shiji the red flame under his crotch in order to express his gratitude.

Xu Shiji was recuperating from his injuries in Wagangzhai, and finally tamed the red flame, but he didn't expect that in order to snatch the official ship, Wagangzhai was ambushed by Zhang Xutuo again, and Xu Shiji had to jump off the horse in order to avoid the arrows, and then relied on his own soldiers to give him the horse, and then fled back to Wagangzhai in embarrassment.

If Chi Yan could speak human words, he would definitely cry bitterly and sigh, how could he meet such a character!

When Ziyang Zhenren went to the Tang State Mansion to look for Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba's body had recovered nearly half, and now that it had been so long, he had naturally become even stronger.

Although he doesn't know if he will return to his previous strength, Li Xuanba is still very confident in taming Chiyan.

Of course, Li Xuanba only has divine power now, but killing the enemy on the battlefield depends on more than just strength, so he has been hiding his physical condition, except for Ziyang Zhenren, no one in this world knows that Li Xuanba is no longer a sick man.

Chiyan became honest, and Li Xuanba no longer scared it, smoothed Shun Chiyan's slightly messy mane with his hand, and said: "If I encounter danger in the future, it will be up to you for me to escape." ”

Escaping for his life is the real purpose of Li Xuanba's desire to learn to ride a horse, although this idea is a little disgraceful, but Li Xuanba cares about other people's opinions.

For him, only being alive is the most important thing.

It was getting late, and Li Xuanba saw that the hour was not early, so in order to prevent Captain Xiao from worrying, he took Chiyan and walked back leisurely. Chiyan was afraid of Li Xuanba, how could he dare to show arrogance in front of him, and followed behind Li Xuanba step by step.

On the way back to the camp, Li Xuanba still met Captain Xiao, Captain Xiao's face was strange, and when he walked in front of Li Xuanba, he pounced, knelt on the ground, and said: "Childe, the villain doesn't know the origin of this horse, so he let you be alone with it, fortunately, Childe is fine, otherwise the villain has ten heads, and it is not enough for His Majesty to cut it!" ”

"This horse has a docile temperament, is there anything wrong with it?" Li Xuanba asked Captain Xiao to get up and said strangely.

The reason why Captain Xiao looked strange was precisely because of this.

He obeyed Li Xuanba's instructions and returned to the camp, Qin Qiong saw him coming back alone, and hurriedly asked Li Xuanba's whereabouts, and told the origin of Chiyan again.

But when he saw Li Xuanba and Chi Yan, Xiao Xiaowei began to doubt Qin Qiong's words.

As Li Xuanba said, Chiyan looked extremely docile, and seemed to be deliberately showing favor to Li Xuanba, how could it be as terrifying as Qin Qiong said?

"It's nothing, it's the villain who is too worried." Captain Xiao sneered. The two of them returned to the camp as if nothing happened, which surprised Qin Qiong.
