Chapter 152: Wen Gao
Our small team of horses walked through the dense forest.
No one spoke. All I could hear was the ticking of horses' hooves, the sound of insects flying in the forest, and the chirping of birds in the heights.
The ground is still muddy after the rainstorm. The horses' hooves kept slipping.
My horseback riding skills are not very good. Whenever the horse's hooves flashed or the horse's neck suddenly lowered, I was so nervous that I felt like I was going to fall off the horse.
I thought about the horseback riding tips you taught, and I held the reins tightly.
The path we were walking was the same my father had walked fifteen years earlier. It was through this path that he hurried to Cui Jiaji, who was in a fierce battle with the Khan King. This is his path to the end of his life. Now, his daughter is on the same path again. This time, however, the people who walked the path did not die generously, but so that they could escape.
I was so engrossed in riding my horse that I don't know how long.
Suddenly, I felt someone close to me.
I looked up.
I noticed a tall soldier riding close to my side. His thighs were almost completely next to mine. I could feel the heat and the smell of sweat on his body.
I subconsciously led the horse to the side, a little further away from him.
I thought the soldier looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
I felt him staring at me with burning eyes. I couldn't help but look up at him too.
He smiled at me. He looked at Fu Tianliang, who was leading the team in front, and then looked left and right.
He whispered, "Miss, don't be afraid. I'll protect you from falling off your horse. ”
For some reason, I felt something in his eyes that made me feel very uneasy.
So, I replied, "Thank you." ”
He looked at me. He smiled again. He lowered his voice and said, "My name is Wen Gao." Miss must not remember me. ”
I looked at him again and searched my memory, but I couldn't remember.
He whispered, "My family lives next to the old man's house." Ever since I was a child, I have often seen young ladies come and go in and out of the mansion. ”
He said, "Do you remember the Qingming Festival one year? The eldest prince and the young lady went to sweep the tomb together. When he came back, it was almost time to reach Zhuangzhen, and the eldest prince's horse almost hit a person. ”
He said: "At that time, the young lady was still a little girl. I don't know if the young lady still remembers the situation at that time. At that time, I was just standing on the side of the road, my eyes had been following the young lady, and I could not help but follow the young lady's car five or six steps forward, and the eldest prince rode over, and his horse rushed straight at me, and hit me and threw me far away. Then he blamed me for ramming his horse, dragged me over and beat me severely. If she hadn't persuaded him to stop, I would have been beaten to death by that time. Miss, don't you remember anything? Miss is a lifesaver for me. ”
Listening to his words, the shadow of a teenager appeared in front of my eyes. That time, Jingyun beat him, not because he collided with his own horse, but to punish him for daring to chase me. I remembered that when Jingyun beat him all over his body, he abandoned him on the side of the road and left him to fend for himself. Jing Yun pointed at him with a whip and reprimanded loudly: "It's up to you, you don't look at your status as a pariah, and it's not worthy to lift our shoes, and you dare to keep your eyes open?" ”
I don't remember what the boy looked like. But I still remember the way he stared at his eldest brother when he was beaten, so hateful, so unyielding.
I looked at the big man in front of me. I said, "Is that you?" ”
He smiled. He said, "That's me." Miss has forgotten about it. But I still remember Miss's kindness. I have never forgotten the kindness and beauty of the young lady. ”
As he said the last few words, he looked me straight in the face.
I felt a burning sensation in my face.
I turned my face to the side in a wary manner.
I don't know why, I don't like talking to this person.
I said, "It's all when I was a kid." ”
He looked at me and said, "There are some things that have passed for a long time, but if you want to forget, you can't forget them." ”
At this moment, Fu Tianliang, who was walking in front, heard a voice.
He turned back and asked, "Who's talking?" What's the matter? ”
I said, "I'm talking." I can't control the horse a bit. I feel like I'm going to fall. ”
When Fu Tianliang heard this, he turned around and drove towards me.
Wen Gao saw him coming, gave way to the side, slowed down his horse, and distanced himself from me.
I felt relieved.
Fu Tianliang galloped to my side. He said, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
I looked back at Wen Gao. I said, "I'm not very good at horseback riding, it's too slippery here." ”
Fu Tianliang said, "Then, does Miss mind riding a horse with me?" I'll take Miss with me, so it's safe. ”
I said, "Okay." ”
When I got on Fu Tianliang's horse, I felt a pair of eyes behind me, staring closely at my back.
I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't help but look back again. Wen Gao followed Fu Tianliang's horse from afar.
He walked in the ranks from a distance. His eyes were always on me. Seeing me turn around, he smiled at me.
I felt a chill rise up my spine, and I couldn't help but shiver.
