Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Few Days of Wandering
Gao Yue said: "Old Seven, how did you get here." ”
Lei Qizhi no longer looked at the backs of the two, and said to Gao Yue: "That's naturally horseback riding." We, the horse brothers, are still waiting at the back of the forest. are both loyal and sensible, that's no two words, brother and I go to get to know each other? ”
Gao Yue followed the seven fingers of the thunder forward. Passing through the woods, in a clearing, a group of horse bandits, sitting or leaning; Dozens of horses, occasionally shaking their heads, flicking their tails, and snorting slightly, but there was no noise at all, all quiet.
When everyone saw Lei Qizhi and the two coming over, they all stood up.
Lei Qizhi was full of energy, and looked around loudly: "Come on, come on." This Gao Gongzi is a hero that our seventh admires very much, and many of you must remember it. It's rare to invite him today, go to our cottage for two days, and he will be the guest of our seventh child. If anyone is lazy and makes Lao Tzu lose face, Lao Tzu will cut off his dog's head! ”
All the horse bandits said yes. was called by Lei Qi's command again, and they all surrounded Gao Yue to salute him. Gao Yue politely replied, and Lei Qizhi smiled and said, "Brother Gao, these horses, you can see for yourself, which one you like, and I will give it to you." ”
Gao Yue was no longer humble, and raised his eyes to look at it happily. Everywhere you look, you are tall horses, and your bearing is extraordinary.
Because he has been in the army since he was a child, he has been very fond of war horses, and later joined Yue Fei's pro-army Beiwei Army, which is the elite of the cavalry, and he is really like a tiger and a horse is like a dragon, so he has a unique feeling for horses.
Moreover, Gao Yue's former mount was a good horse named "Zhu Yanjun", which was as red as carbon all over his body, like a meteor and lightning when running, and could travel 800 miles a day, with excellent endurance.
He was reincarnated as a human being, and the good horse of the past was naturally nowhere to be found, and he always sighed and missed it in his heart. This met with so many Malaysians, and I couldn't help but get excited.
"Old Seven, you horses?" Gao Yue approached in a few steps, touched this one, patted that one, and brushed the horse's mane a few times.
"These horse brothers are all serious Liangzhou horses!" When Lei Qizhi said this, he couldn't help but have a smug face.
Since ancient times, Liangzhou has been rich in famous horses. The Liangzhou Horse is one of the best horse breeds in China. Horses like the cold, military horses need alpine pastures and wild free-range breeding, the climate of the Central Plains is not suitable, and the northwest border alpine grassland is extremely suitable for raising horses and taming horses.
Not to mention, during the Three Kingdoms, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, going forward and successively, was unmatched; With the help of the majesty of Liangzhou Damma, Jin Ma Chao fought Weishui six battles with Emperor Wu of Wei, and killed Cao Cao, who cut off his beard and abandoned his robe.
Accumulated fame, can't help but be fascinated. Gao Yue's face was relieved, it was difficult to hide, he glanced around, walked in front of a red horse, stroked the horse's mane, he had a soft spot for red horses. The horse turned its face and looked at it with flashing eyes.
A group of horse bandits also gathered around to watch. Lei Qizhi was beside Gao Yue, and was about to speak, but he saw that Gao Yue suddenly pressed his arms, and the horse was so cold that he couldn't bear this force, and he stumbled on the ground with four hooves, and kicked on the ground for several steps before he stopped.
Everyone couldn't help but be secretly speechless. Horse bandits have always attached great importance to the quality of their horses, which is related to their impact when they plunder, fight, and the speed at which they can escape.
These horses are all horse bandits who took a fancy to them early, looked for opportunities to rob them, and in many gallops, the fittest survived, and all of them are high-quality products. The horses are all strong and strong.
Usually, a person hangs on a horse, and the horse does not move. Now it is seen that Gao Yue can only use his arms to exert his strength, and he can not stand on the Liangzhou horse, which is far superior to ordinary horses, and he has divine power, which is really terrifying.
Gao Yue tried several horses in a row, but the worst one was pressed to the ground by him, screaming sadly, compared to the first red horse, all of which were inferior. Gao Yue thought for a moment and walked back to the red horse.
The red horse rubbed Gao Yue and neighed softly. Gao Yue jumped up, rode the horse and slowly ran in a circle, the ape arm was lightly relaxed, the reins of the horse were controlled freely, and the horse that was about to exert force was controlled when he landed, and a familiar feeling spread throughout his body, making his heart surge.
Including Lei Qizhi, it was the first time for everyone to see Gao Yue show his skills, and as soon as the expert stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one. These horse bandits are always proud of their excellent equestrian skills, but they didn't expect Gao Yue to hide it deeply, and everyone admired it very much and applauded one after another.
Lei Qizhi snorted, tilted his head and said, "Brother Gao, my horse ......"
Gao Yue smiled while holding the bridle: "It's really good." If it is a horse, I will not lie down when I press it. Just now at your place, I tried seven or eight horses, and most of them were able to stand firm after a few stumbles. ”
Lei Qizhi had comprehended Gao Yue's divine power. He couldn't help but take a breath, and secretly said in his heart, fortunately, our seventh horse's horse can be handled, and the kind of leisurely and luxurious horse that the officials and masters are riding can be directly pressed off by Gao Yue with four legs.
"Old Seven, this red horse, let me ride it for two days first, okay?"
The horse's hooves, the sense of power between the tapping and jumping aroused Gao Yue to no longer hold back, and he just wanted to gallop and gallop to his heart's content.
"If my brother likes it, just take it!"
Seeing this, Lei Qizhi was also interested, walked to his mount, turned over and got on the horse, looked back at Gao Yue and said: "Let's set off here, brother has to follow." ”
As soon as Gao Yue pulled his head, the red horse raised his front legs and neighed. On horseback, the sun shone on Gao Yue's body, which made him more and more proud, looking forward to his self-pride, and high-spirited.
"The world is big, let me gallop!"
Two days later. Bird Mouse Mountain Down.
Several horse bandits carrying their burdens stood solemnly on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain. Not far away, at the side of the mountain pass, there were two people talking with their arms, it was Gao Yue and Lei Qizhi.
"Our seventh brother originally wanted his brother to stay for a few more days, but my brother insisted on leaving, and our seventh brother didn't dare to force him to stay. Good friends don't have polite words, I just hope you are safe and healthy! ”
Lei Qizhi personally led Gao Yue's red horse and said sincerely.
Gao Yue lived in Bird and Mouse Mountain for two days, and he was in the same case as Lei Qizhi, and he was in the same room when he slept in bed, and they talked very happily. Although the two days are not long, there is a feeling of seeing each other late. Needless to say, Lei Qizhi respects Gao Yue, his rough and upright temperament, free and uninhibited, Gao Yue is also very fond of it.
Gao Yue made an inquiry, asking Lei Qizhi if he was willing to lead the crowd down the mountain and go to Shouyang County to join the army, if he was willing, he would definitely promote Lei Qizhi to be the leader of the cavalry. Lei Qizhi said that the matter was important, and he still had to discuss it with his brothers who had been with him for many years.
At this time, listening to Lei Qizhi's parting words, Gao Yue patted Lei Qizhi on the shoulder, his face was earnest, and said with a smile: "Old Qi, what I said to you yesterday, have you ever taken it to heart?" ”
"What my brother said, do we dare to go in the left ear and out the right ear?" Lei Qizhi sighed, hesitated slightly, and finally spoke: "It's not that our old seven are hiding and pretending to be deaf and dumb, it's really my heart." ”
"Tell me about it."
Gao Yue heard the polite refusal in Lei Qizhi's words, and his face was disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked calmly.
Lei Qizhi saw Gao Yue's disappointment at that moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and confused. Gao Yue really valued him and recruited him, and there was no sense of mutual use, at this level, he knew it and had no doubts.
"It's just, alas." Lei Qizhi hung his head and said in a low voice: "Brother also knows, our old seven have been horse bandits for many years, and we have long been used to it, and now our life is very comfortable and free, and there is a group of old brothers who know the roots under our hands to help me." To tell the truth, it is the emperor Lao Tzu who came to recruit our seventh, and we may not be willing to go out of the mountain. ”
"But to be able to follow my brother, our seventh brother is naturally eager to do so. It's just that, brother, you are also under the control of others now. If we go, according to our loose nature, most of us will often get you into trouble. When the time comes, if you take care of Shangguan, our seventh brother will be beaten and killed. But if you care about brotherhood, you can't say that you will offend Shangguan again. ”
Lei Qizhi spoke, while peeking at Gao Yue, seeing that he had no different color, his worried heart was also put down a lot, and he gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "Our old seven, within a radius of 100 miles, is also the leader of a mountain." I am the only one who gives other people's faces, and how can anyone give me orders? To be honest, except for you, brother, we don't want to be criticized by others anymore. ”
"One day, when my brother can be the master, our seventh brother will lead the horse and fall into the stirrups and run to serve the brother, and there will be no two words."
After he finished speaking in one breath, he quickly glanced at Gao Yue again, lowered his head again, and only stepped on a small stone on the sole of his boot into the soil for a while, and pulled it out for a while.
Gao Yue nodded. At this moment, his heart was as bright as a candle flame.
The hint in Lei Qi's words couldn't be more obvious. Your Gao Yue is just a military Sima now, in the small Shouyang County, the top bosses are Zhi Ping and Pan Wudu, there are two people, there is no such position, how can you recruit others?
For example, in today's world, if you are the president and chairman of the company, then you can pat your chest and let a certain person you fancy come to your company at any time to work, and the salary is good; But if you are only a middle-level cadre, you dare to recruit someone for the company abruptly, what can you promise others?
Have you asked your boss, and has the boss agreed? In the eyes of the boss, the person you are looking for is just someone close to you, and you don't know anything about the company, and you are not familiar with it, will the boss agree without saying a word?
Therefore, when you Gao Yue becomes the lord of a city, or has your own territory, then we Lei Lao Qi will be able to bow to his subordinates without any scruples.
I'm too anxious. Gao Yue smiled to himself, and said warmly: "Yes." What Lao Qi said is not unreasonable. In another case, the man surnamed Pan came to you to plot against me, and when you came into the city with me in a big way, he must have been confused, and then he would be angry and frightened, and he would have taken any sudden means of harming others. ”
"Yes, yes. I was about to say that. Our seventh brother has collected the money, and it will be forgotten if he has paid the bill. and follow you in a grand manner, appearing under the nose of the employer. This,"
Lei Qizhi scratched his head, "Anyway, I can't say anything specifically, brother, you know, you are so considerate." However, our old seven respect the hearts of our brothers, never lie, and my brothers do not suspect me. ”
Today is a gloomy day. It was almost dawn, the sky was still very overcast, and the gray clouds were pressed low, like an iron curtain, slowly fainting. The bleak westerly wind blowing in the face is not very strong, but it is very cold.
This cold wind hit his face, and Gao Yue felt that the depression in his heart was gone, and his mind was much fresher and fresher. In life, everything goes smoothly. In the troubled times, people's hearts are their own, and you are just a small official with a big sesame seed, why should others bow down to you and be extremely loyal?
"Old Seven, I have more words before leaving. Yesterday, you yourself said that you were also born in a poor family outside the Saiwai, and you have been wandering since you were a child, and you have also done it by calling Hanako, so no matter at any time, you must not poison innocent people, let alone rape * adultery, robbery and other evil things. If I hear, not only will my friends and brothers not have to do it, but I will try my best to take your life, do you know? ”
Lei Qizhi did not have any resentment, but nodded from time to time with a sincere face: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Gao Yue took the reins of the horse from Lei Qizhi's hand and said with a smile: "Lao Qi gave me this Liangzhou horse, which really made me happy in my heart and felt gracious. ”
With a free and neat leap, he got on the horse's back and arched his hand: "My husband is all over the world, and he is still next to each other for thousands of miles." In this way, I set off, and the seventh child took care of his body and waited for him to see each other one day. ”
Lei Qizhi was a little emotional. I don't know whether it was regret that he didn't immediately listen to Gao Yue's invitation, or the sadness that it would be difficult to see each other after parting, he sighed again and again, arched his hands, and watched Gao Yue gallop away from the dust.
“…… The husband is all over the world, and he is still next to each other for thousands of miles. Gee. Brother Gao, both civil and military, is really a strange person. Lei Qi looked fixedly at the direction in which Gao Yue had gone, and the thoughts in his heart were complicated and indescribable.
Gao Yue controlled the horse all the way. This horse, at first, was not very fast, and after running for more than fifty miles, it seemed to have warmed up, erected its mane and neighed loudly, let go of its hooves, and ran faster and faster. Gao Yue sat on the horse, but he felt steady and steady, without any bumps, and his heart was full of joy.
