"Haha, you're fast!" Ulan Sobud found that Li Hongji was chasing after him, and he was so excited that it was like a kite flying in the air in February, and her silver bell-like laughter reached Li Hongji's ears far away with the help of the northwest wind.

was laughed at by the Mongolian girl, Li Hongji was furious, "Drive! He shook his whip and slapped it the buttocks of the red horse, the red horse was in pain, and his speed suddenly increased by three percent, and the distance between him and Ulan Sobud was rapidly shortening.

"Huh?" As soon as Ulan Sobud turned around, she found that Li Hongji had been forced behind her, she clamped her legs # to the horse's belly, gave a signal to charge, and whipped the horse's buttocks again, and the little white horse also accelerated the frequency of raising its hooves.

Ulan Sobud was like a starling who had just been released from his cage, yelling with excitement and making "oh, oh" cries from time to time.

In order to reduce the resistance of the wind, Li Hongji lay on the horse, his chest almost pressed against the horse's back.

The size of the jujube red horse is larger, and its four legs are far longer than the little white horse, although the little white horse has tried its best, but the Ulan Sobud on its body, plus the huge package, is too heavy, it is a little powerless, and the jujube red horse gradually catches up.

Ulan Sobud was in a hurry, she threw the horsewhip again, kicked the horse's belly with her slender feet, and wished that she would get off the horse herself and run away with six legs.

The head of the red horse had already crossed the little white horse, but Ulan Sobud still refused to admit defeat.

Li Hongji was silent, and urged the war horse again, the whole body of the jujube red horse had completely exceeded the little white horse, he turned the horse's head, forced the little white horse, and began to stop the little white horse from advancing in a straight line.

Although the two horses did not collide, the little white pony was forced to turn to the right.

"Woo ......" Ulan Sobud finally slowed down the horse, and Li Hongji lifted the reins and lowered the horse's speed.

The two riders were almost side by side, at the head of the line.

It is said that it is a grassland, because it is winter, there is no scenery, Li Hongji looked around, and the surroundings were blue-gray, either withered yellow grass roots, or black soil.

"Master Li's riding skills are not inferior to our Mongolian men." Maybe it was because he was too excited just now, Ulan Sobud's little face was red and red.

"I also learned to ride horses since I was a child, and later became a post man, so horse control has not been abandoned." Li Hongji is calm and calm.

"No wonder!" Ulan Sobud beckoned, she was also ready to fight with Li Hongji, but she thought about it or gave up, her little white horse was far inferior to Li Hongji's jujube red horse, "If the Han people can reach the level of Lord Li, then we Mongolians will have no advantage at all." ”

"Ulan Gege is talking about the battlefield?" Li Hongji looked at Ulan Sobud, "Actually, if you control your equestrian skills well, you just have to run faster." ”

"Humph!" Ulan Sobud twisted his waist on the horse's back, "We Korqin people, not only men, but also women can shoot arrows on the back of a running horse. She habitually reached out and touched her back, but there was no quiver behind her, so she could only withdraw her little hand in a stupid manner.

"Ulan Gege is right, we can't compare to this, among our Han people, there are really not many people who can fire arrows on the back of a galloping horse," Li Hongji changed his words, "Horqin's cavalry, compared with the Jurchens, how is the combat effectiveness?" ”

Ulan Sobud hesitated, his eyes were not as bright as just now, "Horqin's cavalry is still a little worse than the Jurchen Eight Banners!" ”

"Then Ulan Gege knows that in the Dajin Kingdom, now there are only the Jurchen Six Banners left?"

Ulan Sobud nodded, his eyes darkening even more, "Master Li, how did you do it?" ”

"It's okay to sue you, you can't make it now." Li Hongji let go of the reins of the horse and made an aiming gesture with both hands: "It's a flintlock pistol, we use a flintlock pistol." ”

"But your squires, the one on your back?" Ulan Sobud turned his head to look back, and Li Hongji's attendants and his maids were far behind.

Li Hongji did not deny it: "It is this flintlock pistol, it is a hundred times more powerful than your sabers, bows and arrows." ”

"Hmph, you Han people, you will pretend to be a ghost, have the ability, and fight with our real swords and real #guns." Ulan Sobud raised his little face, full of disdain.

"Haha, Miss Ulan, if we can solve the problem with a flintlock pistol, we usually don't use a saber," Li Hongji felt that Ulan Sobud was too naïve, "Besides, the flintlock pistol is made by us Han people, why don't we use it?" ”

"Master Li, can you let the little girl take a look?" Ulan Sobud's eyes flashed with envy, if this kind of light could stab Li Hongji's eyes, she hoped that she could take a flintlock pistol.

"Of course, they will come up in a while, and Ulan Gege can take it and take a look," Li Hongji cut off her further thoughts, "However, I can't give it to you." ”

"Why? Master Li is so stingy? Not as good as our Mongolian women? Ulan Sobud's cheeks bulged high, and his lips were pouted, and it looked like he could hang a bottle of soy sauce.

"Ulan Gege, I'm really sorry, it's not a matter of being stingy. The flintlock pistol is my treasure of the Ming Dynasty, and my Emperor has an order that if anyone loses a flintlock pistol, he will have to exchange his head. Li Hongji simply put the problem more strictly.

"Oh? That...... Forget it! Ulan Sobud's mood gradually eased, but she was still a little disappointed.

The two rode their horses and walked silently for a while, not knowing what they were looking at or thinking.

Ulan Sobud looked at Li Hongji's face several times, as if she wanted to open her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all.

Li Hongji waited for a while, but there was no movement, so he had to hurry to speak: "Ulan Gege? ”

"Huh?"

"I have a question for you, and I don't know if it's abrupt."

"If you want to ask, just ask, you Han people are verbose!"

"Hehe," Li Hongji smiled wryly, "Ulan Gege, why do you speak Chinese so well?" ”

"You ask this?" Ulan Sobud was a little lost, her face turned outward, and a piece of the back of her neck was left in Li Hongji's eyes, "I have a grandmother, she is Han, and she taught me Chinese, and it is said that she was still a young lady from an official family." ”

"Han Chinese? Miss Guan? Li Hongji was taken aback, he tried hard to think in his mind, but he had no clue, with his age, he must have no intersection with this grandmother, and in the Ming classics he had read, Li Hongji did not see any clues.

"Yes, my grandmother can also write kanji, but she didn't teach me, she said, it's useless for girls to learn kanji."

"Ulan Gege, can you tell us about your grandmother's background?"

Ulan Sobud shook his head, "I don't know, my grandmother never said anything about her background, she said that she married into Mongolia and has humiliated her family, so she has to forget the past." ”

Li Hongji felt that it was also reasonable, her grandmother married a different race, and she must have felt sorry for her family, so she never mentioned her family again; And her family also thought that she married Horqin in Mongolia, or was robbed by Horqin, because Yan zhòng insulted the style, so she deliberately forgot about her, and the classics of the Ming Dynasty did not record it.

"You Han people are really, marrying a Mongol is to humiliate her family? I really don't understand. Ulan Sobud was full of hatred.

"I don't know." Li Hongji shook his head, Ulan Sobud was a Mongolian, and he couldn't understand the etiquette of the Han people at all, "Maybe Mongolia was the enemy of the Ming Dynasty back then, after all, it was a long time ago." “

"Oh!" Ulan Sobud also thought of the war that had occurred between the Ming and Mongolia in the past, no wonder her grandmother refused to tell her background, when the Ming was an enemy of the Mongols, and she was worried about affecting her family.

"Probably that's what it looks like."

"Gege, Gege." The two maids of Ulan Sobud came up panting, followed by Li Hongji's attendants.

The two women looked at Li Hongji with strange eyes, and one of them glared at Li Hongji fiercely, making Li Hongji inexplicable.

"What's the screaming? In broad daylight, can I still get lost? Ulan Sobud scolded her maid.

Li Hongji smiled: "Are they Lan Lan and Mei Mei?" ”

"Yes! When they came in, they didn't have names, and I used to hear my grandmother tell stories about the Han people, so I gave them Han names. Ulan Sobud changed his face faster than he turned a book, and immediately changed into a smiling face, and the dimples on his face were faintly exposed.

"What a name!" Li Hongji glanced at Lan Lan and Mei Meiduo, "I really didn't expect that in the depths of the Horqin Prairie, there would be so many elements related to the Han people. ”

Lan Lan didn't give Li Hongji a good look like her master, her pupils suddenly dilated, like a water lily blooming, squinting at Li Hongji, and when Li Hongji looked at her again, she had already lowered her head and didn't look at Li Hongji.

Ulan Sobud didn't pay attention to her maid, she tilted her little face and met Li Hongji's gaze: "Let's get off the horse and take a walk?" ”

"Dismount? Okay," Li Hongji jumped off the horse, he patted his wrinkled clothes and trousers, "It's still comfortable to walk." ”

Ulan Sobud also jumped off his horse and handed the reins to Memei.

The two walked side by side on the yellow grass, the warm sun shining on their faces from the side.

Ulan Sobud's maid and Li Hongji's attendant led their horses and followed far behind.

Ulan Sobud was like a Han woman, with one hand on her chin and the other on her elbow, "Lord Li, can I call you by your name?" It's always an adult, it's too awkward. ”

"As long as you like, whatever you want."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"And I called it?"

"You call it!"

"Hongji?"

"Hmm!"

"Hongji Hongji Hongji ......"

"Hahaha......"

Ulan Sobud also looked up to the sky and laughed, she opened her arms and pointed to the immortal sky, "I'm so happy, Hongji, let's run?" Only by running can I express my mood at the moment. ”

Regardless of whether Li Hongji agrees or not, and whether the long skirt is stumbling or not, she has already opened her legs and ran to the southwest.

Li Hongji had to catch up, his tall legs and long legs, and in a few arrow steps, he chased behind Ulan Sobud.

Ulan Sobud's red dress is too long, which is extremely inconvenient to run, and wearing soft-soled soap boots is not suitable for running on the ground.

Her right foot slipped and fell to the ground with a "snap", her spine facing the sky, and she lay on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Li Hongji was running behind Ulan Sobud at high speed, and at this time, it was a small pebble that could also trip him, not to mention a Mongolian woman weighing 100 pounds.

He tripped on Ulan Sobud's feet, and his feet immediately stopped, but due to inertia, his upper body continued to dive forward, and he fell on Ulan Sobud's body at once.
