Chapter 6 The Gift of Treasures
Early the next morning, Liu Jin, who had long been accustomed to getting up early, got up early, and the headache and weakness after the hangover were much better after drinking the sobering soup sent by the Meng family.
Liu Jin changed into clean clothes and came to the grassland of the Mengjia Ranch, and the gentle breeze blew the blue cloth on Liu Jin's body. But Liu Jin looked at the horses that kept galloping by, and his heart was tickled. The heart said, "If only all these good horses were mine."
"Brother Xian got up so early, is his injury better?" Just when Liu Jin was thinking nonsense, Meng Lie patted Liu Jin's shoulder from behind and said.
"It's much better, thanks to my brother's medicine," Liu Jin said with a smile.
"You and my brother don't have to be so polite, I wonder if Brother Xian is interested in trying the horse in this foolish brother?" Meng Lie didn't know the little Jiujiu in someone's heart, and pointed to the horses galloping past in the field and said.
Liu Jin's horse is tired to death, and he is looking for a good horse to travel! immediately said: "Little brother has this intention, but I don't know how to speak, haha."
Meng Lie saw that Liu Jin was very frank, and said happily: "What is this, since ancient times, BMW has been a hero." Brother Fool happens to have a BMW here, so let's give it to Brother Xian as a welcome gift."
"No, no, no, how dare the little brother take the favor of his brother" There is a way that a gentleman does not take the favor of others, although Liu Jin is not a righteous gentleman, but the necessary excuse is still required.
After some excuses, Liu Jin couldn't resist Meng Lie's enthusiasm, so he had to agree. Not long after, a strong man from a horse farm led a fiery red war horse to the two.
Looking up, this horse is incredible. The hooves are eight feet high from the back, and the head is two feet long from the tail to the tail. There was a fiery red mane all over his body, and there was not a single stray hair, as if it had been burned by fire. The muscles were knotted, the four horses' hooves were thick and powerful, and the two front legs kept digging the dirt on the ground, and in a short time they dug a big hole.
When Liu Jin saw this horse, his eyes straightened. Although he didn't know much about horses, he had seen several war horses in the army. Compared with this horse, it is simply a heaven and an earth, and there is no comparison at all.
"Brother Xian, how is this horse?" Meng Lie pointed to the fiery red war horse and said with a smile.
"It's really a BMW, and this little brother can't win his brother's love." Liu Jin's words seem sincere, but the ** in his eyes has already betrayed him.
"Hey, our brothers don't distinguish between you and me, the foolish brother respects you as a good man, how to do things mother-in-law and mother-in-law, not like a man", Meng Lie also saw Liu Jin's love for this horse, and in order to let the brother he just recognized accept his gift calmly, he pretended to be angry at the moment and said.
"Then, the little brother will be in vain, thank you brother for your generous gift", Liu Jin said with a smile on his face, and said with a deep bow with his fists clenched.
"Brother Xian, without further ado, let's try this horse's foot strength first!" , Meng Lie said, and then ordered someone to hand over the reins of the horse to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin took the reins and turned over on the horse, and as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he was about to gallop wildly. Unexpectedly, this horse took Liu Jin off the horse as soon as he stumbled, and fell into the mud, it seems that it is still a fierce horse.
Meng Lie, who watched this scene, laughed loudly. Liu Jin's face was red and he didn't say a word, and turned over on the horse again. His hands tightened his grip on the reins, and his hips clamped tightly around the horse's belly.
The horse was in pain, and spread its hooves and galloped away. Perhaps not giving up, the horse sometimes galloped, sometimes jumped, wanting to lift Liu Jin off his back.
But Liu Jin grabbed the reins with both hands, and at the same time his legs clamped the horse's belly tightly like iron tongs. Even if the wound on his back was torn again because of the fierce struggle, Liu Jin endured the severe pain and did not let go.
Liu Jinxin said: "If it hurts, it hurts, if it is taken off, it will be a small loss, and it will be a big loss if you lose a small life in the future battlefield battle."
In this way, one person and one horse secretly competed. After a long time, the fiery red horse may be tired, or maybe it is resigned to fate, and gradually slows down and lets Liu Jin ride on his back. Driven by Liu Jin, he slowly came to Meng Lie's side.
Liu Jin was very happy when he saw this horse resigned himself to his fate. While humming the military song of his previous life, he was thinking nonsense.
It didn't take long for one person to ride back to the same place, and when Meng Lie saw that his brother was back, he slowly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Brother Xian, how is the strength of this horse's feet?" ”
"It's not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day," Liu Jin, who had just shed a lot of blood, said with a pale face.
As if in response to his master's praise, the horse raised its head, snorted, and snorted, spewing out a white gas.
It was only then that Meng Lie saw that Liu Jin's face was pale, and blood kept dripping from his legs. But Meng Lie was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian, what's wrong?" Did you meet the Huns? ”。
Liu Jin shook his head, struggling to get off the horse. Unexpectedly, he stumbled, and his body fell straight down, but fortunately, Meng Lieyan next to him quickly helped Liu Jin. Meng Lie was about to ask Liu Jin what was wrong, only to find that Liu Jin had fainted.
When Liu Jin woke up again, it was already sunset.
"Brother Xian, you frightened the foolish brother, what the hell is going on?" Because he was not worried about Liu Jin's safety, Meng Lie, who had been waiting beside him, saw that Liu Jin was awake and hurriedly asked.
"Brother, the younger brother is fine, but it took some effort to tame the horse just now, and the wound on his back was torn. By the way, brother, does the horse have a name? ”。 Seeing that Meng Lie cared so much about himself, Liu Jin was very moved in his heart, and said weakly while holding back the fatigue of his body.
"Owner, this strong man is not in serious health, but he has been torn many times after being wounded by a knife and has lost too much blood. And because of yesterday's drinking, the blood flow accelerated, so he fainted. As long as you rest for a few days, you will be healed by taking some blood tonics." An old man on the side who seemed to be in Langzhong took Liu Jin's pulse and said slowly.
Hearing Lang Zhong's words, Meng Lie relieved himself and said to Liu Jin: "That horse's name is the Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Horse, which was accidentally encountered by the foolish brother when he went out a few days ago, so he made someone capture it back to the pasture, and now it is just right to give it to the virtuous brother to make a mount."
"Red charcoal fire dragon foal, horse as its name suggests, it is really a good name." Hearing this, Liu Jin muttered.
"Brother Xian, you are so resting, Brother Fool will come to see you tomorrow." Meng Lie saw that Liu Jin was weak and tired, and knew that Liu Jin needed to rest, so he said goodbye.
"Brother go slowly, the younger brother has something I want to tell the elder brother, and please ask the elder brother to promise the younger brother." Liu Jin was still a little worried about the safety of Hao Si and the others, so he hurriedly stopped Meng Lie and said with a hesitant expression.
"Virtuous brother, please speak, foolish brother listens." Meng Lie said with some curiosity when he heard this.
"It has been four days since the younger brother has probed the critical military situation from Meiji, and it has been four days since today, presumably after the return of those Hun defeated troops, the Huns will definitely speed up the speed of sending troops. The younger brother wants to return to Yanmen Pass tomorrow and report the military situation to Captain Han, so that the defenders can prepare early." Thinking of the imminent parting with this eldest brother who was deeply in love with him, Liu Jin said a little gloomily.
"The Huns are going south, Yanmen Pass is bound to become a dangerous place, and the virtuous brother is seriously injured, so it is better to temporarily recuperate here with the foolish brother, and the foolish brother will send a confidant to send a message for the virtuous brother." Meng Lie knew that Yanmen Pass would definitely become a dangerous place, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
Liu Jin also knew that Yanmen Pass would inevitably become a dangerous place, but if he did not return within the time limit, he would not be dealt with by military law, and he would not be able to run away with at least a military stick. After hesitating for a while, Liu Jin still insisted on saying: "After my brother is a famous general, how can I not know that the army has its own military law, and the younger brother is a soldier, how can I ignore tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of state elders because of my personal safety, and ask my brother to grant the request of the younger brother."
The words of these words were sincere and righteous, which made Meng Lie very admired.
"Okay, the virtuous brother is righteous, and the foolish brother admires. I will let Yong'er select a hundred strong elites to follow the virtuous brother to go with him, firstly, to increase the garrison of Yanmen Pass, which can be regarded as the contribution of my Mengshi clan, and secondly, he can also be a private soldier for the virtuous brother, which can be regarded as a foolish brother's mind." Meng Lie said sincerely.
Seeing that Liu Jin wanted to excuse himself, Meng Lie said again: "Brother Xian, don't persuade me, I have made up my mind, isn't it that Brother Xian looks down on Meng?" ”。
Liu Jin looked at Meng Lie who was standing at the head of the bed, and was very moved. This kind of emotion can only be found when those comrades-in-arms who accompanied life and death in the previous life blocked bullets for themselves, and he couldn't bear to forgive Meng Lie's kindness, so Liu Jin let go and said: "Then listen to my brother."
