Chapter 91: Horseback riding

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and Zhang Mu's injuries are gradually calming down.

At this moment, Zhang Mu was riding a jujube red horse, running sweaty on the path outside Yongkang County.

These days, Zhang Mu is not idle, he started to learn from horseback riding, and now he is a military attaché, he can't ride a horse and always sits in a car, not to mention the trouble, it always makes people laugh.

Almost all officials of the Ming Dynasty, horseback riding is a compulsory subject, that is, the Guozijian Gongsheng, in addition to learning scriptures, riding and archery is also one of the compulsory courses.

After all, in this era, it is just like being released to a rich and prosperous place, and it is just being released to a remote area, either to counterinsurgency or to arrest thieves, but how can it be done by riding and shooting?

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty established the country by force, and this fierce atmosphere is prevailing, especially in the Hongwu Dynasty, the Qingliu civil officials have not formed a climate, so there are officials who can't ride horses?

As for archery, that thing was imagined by Zhang Mu to be more difficult, the stern riding and archery is very domineering, ask carefully, the stern started at the age of eight, learned for more than ten years, and now can wear Yang in a hundred steps on the horse, it is definitely not something that can be practiced overnight.

Zhang Mu felt that no matter how high the martial arts were, they couldn't beat the musket, and now that the problem of gunpowder was solved, the next step was to think about making a few guns, even if it was an arquebus, which was more powerful than a bow and arrow.

So I didn't learn much, but I prepared a good Zhuge repeater in case I needed it.

"Phew!"

Zhang Mu ran to the edge of the river beach, reined in the reins of the horse and turned over, this horse is named Xiao Wuqi, it was sent by the Yan family, docile and obedient, and the endurance is not bad.

Moreover, this horse was sent to Zhang Mu, and it has been tamed extremely obediently, even if it is released, it will not be far from the owner, which is very rare.

Zhang Mu led it to the river, and the little black man drank it in a big gulp, and Zhang Mu sat on the stone panting, resting his strength.

Riding a horse is a strenuous job, you have to step on the stirrups all the time, your legs have to clamp the belly of the horse, at first you are not used to the bumps, and you will stagger on the horse if you run a little faster.

These days have been initially adapted, and it can be regarded as the completion of a wish after coming to Daming.

After a while, Yan Yan and Yan Su followed closely behind, and after turning over and dismounting, Yan Su's sideburns were drenched in sweat, and he wiped his sleeves and sat down next to Zhang Mu.

Yan handed the water bladder to Zhang Mu next, Zhang Mu took two gulps and said, "This horse riding is still too tired." ”

"It's good to get used to it. Muzhi, when will we leave for Wenzhou? Stern asked.

"Han Fangshan has already sent a letter, and his identity and road guide are ready, and he is waiting for Tao Xingchang now. As soon as he has news from there, we can go. Zhang Mu said.

Yan Su heard that Zhang Mu was going to leave again, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost, now Zhang Mu didn't need to be protected, and he had no excuse to follow Zhang Mu anymore, thinking of this, he was a little depressed.

Zhang Mu glanced back at her, Yan Su was wearing a black satin short fight today, with long hair tied up, neat and heroic.

After running just now, now there is a charming flush on her fair face, and her chest is slightly undulating, which makes people's hearts move when they look at it.

Zhang Mu took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her sweat, Yan Su didn't even hide, sat side by side, Yan Su smiled instead.

When Yan Yan saw this scene, he coughed and said, "I'll go over there." ”

As the eldest brother, he also knew that his younger sister had taken a fancy to Zhang Mu, anyway, the Yan family did not seem to have the slightest objection to this family business, but they were all very happy, and besides, Yan Yan also felt that Zhang Mu was a person who could be entrusted for life.

Such a brother-in-law can't be found with a lantern, and as long as the two of them don't do anything too excessive, he doesn't bother to care.

"Don't you want to go home?" Zhang Mu turned around and asked with a smile.

"It's so boring to go home, it's like being locked up in prison all day long, followed by a group of maids every day, this doesn't work, that doesn't work. Don't mention how boring it is. Yan Su grabbed a weed, pinched it in his hand, wrapped it around his finger and said.

"I'll write a letter to your grandfather when I go back, so that you can follow me to Wenzhou." Zhang Mu said.

This layer of window paper, Zhang Mu has the heart not to pierce it, originally from modern times, he is very disgusted with the words of the matchmaker, and he pierced this layer of window paper, everyone will be embarrassed to see it in the future, it is better to be like now, the ears and temples are grinding, and the heart is sharp, Zhang Mu thinks it is very good.

"Really?" Hearing this, Yan Su's pair of blazing Danfeng eyes suddenly lit up.

"When have I ever shaken you? Besides, you are a male doll, why do you have to be locked up at home like Miss Qianjin? It is also appropriate to come out and see the world. Zhang Mu said.

When Yan Su heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and he didn't know if Zhang Mu was really stupid or fake, so he smiled and said, "Look, there's a dumb goose there." ”

"And what?" Zhang Mu looked at it curiously, and immediately reacted and said, "Okay, you dare to make fun of me, watch me clean you up." After saying that, he tickled, and Yan Su hurriedly stood up and ran away.

At this time, Zhang Mu heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, looked back, and saw Tao Xingchang riding a black horse, hurriedly arrived on the river beach, turned over and hurriedly came towards Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu hurriedly went up, as soon as the two met, Tao Xingchang hurriedly saluted Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu helped him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lord Zhang, the Japanese are here. The night before yesterday, he suddenly landed in Jinxiang and burned seven or eight villages. When I finished inquiring, I hurried back to tell you. Tao Xingchang said breathlessly.

Zhang Mu knew that this should be a small group of Japanese robbers, a large group of Japanese robbers, and he was afraid that it would come later.

On the southeast coast, there will be no balance soon.

Moreover, Zhang Mu has seen the coastal defense deployment in eastern Zhejiang, and the heavy troops in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are almost all on the coastline of eastern Zhejiang. Border guards were stationed almost every thirty miles.

Moreover, there is a border guard stationed in Jinxiang itself, and there is a place in Pumen fifty miles away from Jinxiang, adding up to more than 6,000 people, and even let this small group of Japanese robbers escape, and there is a lot of article in it.

"Back home, we have to go. How's your arrangement? Zhang Mu asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, we have already investigated the situation of the Wen family. Han Baihu arrived yesterday with his brothers from western Zhejiang. Just waiting for you to preside over the big picture. Tao Xingchang said.

At that moment, Zhang Mu took the Yan family brothers and sisters back to Yongkang in a hurry, explained to Zhang Wenguang about the soap and candles, packed up his clothes, and set off from Yongkang in a hurry.
