Chapter Seventy-Two: Walking Together
Liu Fu had already asked people to prepare four Turkic horses with saddles ready, these four Turkic horses were of excellent breed, long and strong, and were a head taller than the Central Plains horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tang Taizong Li Shimin was a king who won the world from horses, and he was very familiar with Turkic war horses. In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, he made a "Bole-style" identification of the famous horses that contributed to the bones:
"Look at its bones are big and thick, the hyena is wide and broad, the eyes are like hanging mirrors, the head is like a side brick, the legs are like a deer and the difference is round, the neck is thinner than the phoenix, under the back bridge, the bones are promoted to become a peak, between the side sheaths, the long tendons are dense and like petals, the ear root is iron, the fir wood is difficult to square, the tail is Goryeo, the digging bricks are not simulated, the abdomen is flat and small, the self-strength is driven by the side, the nose is big and sparse, and there is no lack of air to come and go."
The love for Turkic horses is palpable.
Up and down, the eunuchs in Chang'an City raise Turkic horses for hunting and driving.
The bows and arrows of the four horses were tightly wrapped in cloth bags.
Except in exceptional circumstances, civilians are not allowed to carry bows and arrows or the like, just as controlled knives are now not allowed in public.
The four of them led the horse to the east, passed through Anxing Fang and Yongjiafang, and arrived at the Tonghua Gate at the east gate of Chang'an City.
Horses were not allowed to be ridden in Chang'an City, which was the largest city in the world at that time, with a population of more than one million, and traffic control was an important matter for the court at that time.
According to the "Tang Law", in the absence of any public or private reasons, in the streets and alleys of the crowd, the person who drives a horse or carriage quickly, the victim will be punished with a bamboo board or wattle 50 times on the back.
If there is a serious traffic accident that causes casualties, it will be dealt with as a crime of killing or wounding in a brawl. Of course, there is also a quantitative treatment for the measurement of the severity of the nature of traffic accidents.
And those who ride quickly in the crowd can be exempted from handling because of the following reasons: official documents are delivered, court orders are issued, medical treatment is sought when sick, and people are in a hurry to chase people. If there are casualties caused by this, paying money to atone for the crime is actually a fine.
The guards guarding the city saw that the four of them were leading their horses, and that there were things in the cloth bags immediately, so they stopped the four of them to check.
Seeing that it was a bronze talisman of the hundred cavalry, the guards guarding the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let them go.
led the horse and turned south, out of Chang'an City.
The four of them turned over their horses, turned their horses' heads and drove south, although Yu Chi Amin was a woman, she was born in a military general's family and learned to ride a horse since she was a child.
An and later generations rode once on a trip to the Inner Mongolia Prairie, and almost fell off the horse, and since then they have been terrified when they see the horse.
This time I rode such a tall and mighty Turkic horse, and I was even more jealous, and I tried several times, but I didn't dare to get on the horse.
Yu Chi Amin looked at it in his eyes, and it didn't look like he was pretending.
I thought: How can this Anhe know everything, but he can't ride a horse?
Turning the horse's head, he walked to An He, turned over and dismounted, exhaled like an orchid, and asked An He curiously:
"What, you don't know how to ride a horse?
An He shook his head with a wry smile.
"You...... How can you not even know how to ride a horse? ”
Yu Chi Amin was a little surprised, because she was born in a military general's family since she was a child, and almost no one in her family could ride a horse.
And judging from the recent observations of An He, how could he not be able to ride a horse without what this young man would not do?
An He was amused by her words, and asked rhetorically:
"Why do I have to be able to ride a horse?"
Yu Chi Amin blushed and said:
"I'll teach you."
After saying that, he grabbed the reins of the horse with his hand and let An He ride it.
Ann grabbed the saddle with both hands and climbed awkwardly onto the horse like a bear climbing a mountain bag.
Yu Chi Amin covered his jade lips lightly with his hand, almost laughing out loud.
Forcibly said to An He:
"The most taboo thing about riding a horse is to be nervous, the heart should be relaxed, the whole body should be tightened, not loose, from the body to the soul, it must be attached to the horse, there is no gap at all, the horse's body is your body, and your will is the horse's will.
As he spoke, he corrected Ann He's horseback riding movements.
"Keep your legs strained, otherwise, if the horse suddenly accelerates, you will easily fall."
Anhe said, "As soon as I rode on this horse, my heart was afraid. ”
Yu Chi Amin said:
"When you feel scared, you're not on the horse. When you ride a horse, you have to be 100 percent on the horse. Otherwise, you'll never know, what horseback riding is. ”
The crisp sound swirled, and Ann was intoxicated.
Looking at Yu Chi Amin, who was talking eloquently, An He asked shallowly:
"Do you ride 100 percent on horseback?"
Yu Chi Amin was puzzled and said, "Yes!"
"Isn't there a point, somewhere else?"
"Not right away, still ......; What else? ”
Yu Chi Amin was even more confused.
An He asked again:
"Have you seen you anywhere else but in the mirror?"
"No?" Yu Chi Amin said with confidence.
An He looked at him and suddenly smiled:
"In my eyes. See for yourself if you don't believe it! ”
An He leaned down, opened his eyes wide and leaned into Yu Chi Amin's face.
Yu Chi Amin blushed, raised his wrist lightly, pushed An He's face with his hand, and complained softly:
"You, hey, that's hard to teach!"
After speaking, he walked to his horse, turned over and got on his horse, raised his whip lightly, and walked away.
An He rode on the horse, according to what Yu Chi Amin said, his heart was loose and his body and consciousness were all concentrated on the horse.
Clamping the horse's belly and kicking it lightly with his spurs, the horse shot out like an arrow.
The wind was whistling in my ears, and the trees were falling backwards.
After a while, he caught up with Yu Chi Amin.
Although Yu Chi Amin had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, when he heard An He's implicit confession just now, he was still in a state of confusion, and he hurriedly rode away from An He's sight.
But seeing that An He never came up, his heart was even more chaotic, and he thought:
He doesn't think I hate him, does he?
I secretly regretted it again. Hurriedly grabbed the reins and deliberately slowed down the horse.
An He caught up with Yu Chi Amin after a while, and the two horses were side by side, An He glanced at the red-faced Yu Chi Amin and said with a smile:
"The method taught by the sister is really easy to use, and it feels much better on the horse than before!"
When Yu Chi Amin heard him speak, he was first startled, and then said with a red face:
"I just ...... It's just strange, my brother can do anything, why can't he ride a horse for such a simple thing? ”
The sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, the pine waves are undulating, and there is no one in the four fields.
The two rode horses, walking through the light of the forest, and the fine dust gently fluttered around the hooves of the fallen horses.
Sometimes in front, sometimes in the back, sometimes side by side.
The tails of the two horses wagged back and forth, like dust whisks in the hands of immortals.
Neither of the two on horseback said they liked anyone, but they both understood each other's meaning from their fiery eyes.
The sun was shining, the wildflowers were blooming on both sides of the road, and two butterflies were flying into the distance among the flowers......
