Chapter 363: Horse Racing (Third Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

Liang Xiao was surprised. Li Guangnian is nearly half a hundred, and his body is so strong? It's no wonder that ordinary people don't crash into this one and don't get a concussion.

"General, are you really okay?"

"What can happen?" Li Guang pulled Liang Xiao's hand away and turned over on the horse again. "Don't worry, Lao Tzu's heavenly spirit cover is iron. Let's go, or if you close the gates, you won't be able to get out. ”

Liang Xiao laughed, followed the horse, and the two galloped towards the city gate. Out of the Xuanping Gate, along the moat all the way to the south, past the Qingming Gate, outside the Bacheng Gate, Liang Xiao saw Wei Qing and Tu Niu'er. Wei Qing rode a cyan horse, and there was a child sitting in front of him, it was Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Liang Xiao intently. Liang Xiao glanced at him twice, and asked Wei Qing with some uncertainty: "Your son is so old?" ”

Wei Qing smiled. "How can they be so big. It's my second sister's child who is sick, and I heard that you invited me to hunt at night, so I have to come and see the sound shooting technique. ”

"Huo Quai?" Liang Xiao was surprised and took a closer look. Huo Quzhi looks very energetic, and there is still some unruliness between his eyebrows, but he can't see any signs of a generation of famous generals at all, at most he is just a child who is a little sensitive and conceited. Seeing Liang Xiao looking at him, he also widened his eyes and tried his best to meet Liang Xiao's eyes.

Liang Xiaole was happy, and reached out and pinched Huo Quai's little face. The little face of the future star is also very tender.

"Oh, it hurts!" Huo Quzhi screamed, pushed Liang Xiao's hand away, glared angrily, and his little face turned red.

"Man, what kind of pain are you afraid of?" Liang Xiao pursed his lips and teased him: "Like you." In the future, I can only hide at home. No battlefield. ”

"I'm going to the Western Regions. I'm going to Rome. Huo Quzhi bit his lip and said loudly: "I will go further than you." ”

Liang Xiao crossed one leg, sat on the horse's back, and raised his chin at Huo Quai. "Boy, your tone is not small, do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Absolutely." Huo Quzhi turned his head and looked at Wei Qing pleadingly. Wei Qing smiled bitterly, turned over and dismounted. Hand the reins into Huo Quai's hands. Huo Quzhi's legs clamped the horse's belly, and his body leaned forward, almost lying on the horse's back. He turned his head, looked at Liang Xiao defiantly, and challenged Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing, took out the short knife from the Gulu fox from his waist, and with a slight wave, the iron tail of the Horse Whip Tribe was cut off. Huo Quzhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he blurted out: "Good knife." ”

"Win me, this knife is yours." Liang Xiao inserted the knife back into his waist. "Lost. Pick up your pants and spank. ”

Huo Quzhi was stunned. Blinked, thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't lose." ”

Liang Xiao laughed twice, and said: "From here to the south city wall, there are about 1,500 steps, whoever arrives first will win, how?" ”

Huo Quzhi hesitated a little, he glanced at the short knife on Liang Xiao's waist again, gritted his teeth, and nodded vigorously.

"Okay!"

Liang Xiao jumped off the horse and walked in front of Li Guang. "General, I'm sorry, I can't let you continue to enjoy it."

Ever since he saw Wei Qing, Li Guang watched coldly from the sidelines and didn't say a word. He glanced at Liang Xiao and pursed his lips. "It's not promising, even a little doll is deceived." Turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins to Liang Xiao.

Huo Quzhi was taken aback and cried out. "You're foolish, how did you change horses?"

Liang Xiao turned over and got on his horse, triumphant. "It's not me who is cheating, you are mistaken. You can ask General Lee, whose horse does it belong to? ”

Huo Quzhi was dumbfounded. Even if he is young, he knows how fast Liang Xiao's horse is, although Wei Qing's big green horse is not bad, but compared with this big horse, it is not a little bit worse, where is there still a chance to win.

"Still betting?" Liang Xiao rode his horse to Huo Quai's side and raised his eyebrows. "I'll give you a stone's throw away."

"I don't want you to let me." Huo Qu was so angry that he shouted: "Man, big husband, once you say it, it's hard to chase the horse." ”

"There is a chance." Liang Xiao waved his hand. "Let's go."

"Let's go!" Huo Quzhi waved his horsewhip and jerked his mount. The green horse sprang out, spread its hooves, and galloped along the gallop. Luckily, it was getting late and there weren't many people on the road, otherwise I would have hit someone. When Wei Qing saw it, he hurriedly said: "Ah Xiao, this kid has a high spirit, you should be careful." ”

Liang Xiao smiled. "Zhong Qing rest assured." After speaking, with a slight flick of the reins, Mingzhu took a relaxed step and ran forward, just a few vertical leaps, and then caught up with Huo Quai, and went hand in hand.

Li Guang, Wei Qing and Tu Niu'er were far behind, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and no one spoke.

Huo Quzhi grabbed the horse's mane with both hands, gritted his teeth, his little face tightened, his eyes stared at the front tightly, and he couldn't wait to fly to the south of the city in one step. Liang Xiao is very relaxed, Mingzhu is tall and has long legs and a larger stride, so he doesn't need to go all out at all, and he runs very easily.

"Boy, if you run like this, you won't be able to last long." Liang Xiao ran while teaching Huo Quai. "No matter how good a horse is, it can't run at full speed for a long time. We're going to go fifteen hundred paces, and at your pace, at most half a mile, the horse won't be able to run. ”

Huo Quzhi turned his head and glanced at Liang Xiao suspiciously.

"Don't look at me like that, I won't lie to a little doll like you." Liang Xiao said with a shameless face: "I'm worried that you will lose too quickly, and I won't have a sense of accomplishment if I win." ”

Huo Quzhi snorted, very disapproving.

"Did your uncle teach you that field hunting is actually a combat exercise?"

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Huo Quzhi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Do you know what you need to do to win a battle?"

Huo Quzhi was a little distracted and almost fell off the bumpy horse. He quickly clamped his legs, no longer paid attention to Liang Xiao, whipped the green horse again, and galloped forward. Liang Xiao was not in a hurry, he didn't even have to wave the whip, Mingzhu ran easily, and kept turning his head and snorting at the green horse. Nearly halfway through, Qingma was already out of breath, sweating like rain, and it was very helpless to flirt with Mingzhu, and some heroes were short of breath.

As Liang Xiao said, after five or six hundred steps, Qingma's physical strength is insufficient, and his speed is obviously not reduced, no matter how Huo Quzhi whips, he can't surpass Mingzhu. In contrast, Mingzhu's activity was open, it was the best state, high-spirited, running faster and faster, and it was easy to leave Huo Qubing behind.

Before he finished the race, Liang Xiao had already sealed the victory. Huo Qu was in a hurry, reversed the horsewhip, and used the iron pointed tail at the end of the horsewhip to stab the green horse. The green horse suffered pain, ran wildly, and caught up with the pearl again.

Liang Xiao frowned when he heard the neighing of horses and the sound of horses' hooves behind him. He could hear the pain in the neighing of the horse, and he also guessed what method Huo Quzhi used to push the horsepower. When fighting against the Huns, they often did this, and even directly slashed with the war knives in their hands to squeeze out the potential of the war horses.

This will make the horse run faster, but the consequences will be very serious, and usually, the horse will be crippled if not dead. So they won't do it unless they have to. Since Huo Quzhi knew what to do, of course he also knew the harm of doing so, for a small competition, he actually made such a ruthless hand, at a young age, and his heart was ruthless enough.

In a moment, Huo Quzhi had already chased after him. Liang Xiao put away his smile and kicked the horse's belly lightly. Mingzhu understood, hissed with his head high, spread his four hooves, and ran with all his might. In a few steps, Huo Qubing was left behind again. In Huo Quzhi's desperate and stubborn eyes, Liang Xiao disappeared into the night, leaving only a vague back.

Huo Qu bit his lip sickly and kept poking the green horse with a horsewhip. Qingma's buttocks were poked bloody and neighed. It's just that there is a huge disparity in strength, and although it goes all out, it still can't shorten the distance by another point.

When Huo Qubing saw the city wall of Nancheng, Liang Xiao had already dismounted, stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back. Mingzhu walked leisurely on the side, the sound of hooves was peculiar, and she snorted from time to time. Huo Quzhi reined in the reins, stiffened his face, and glared at Liang Xiao angrily.

"Dismount!" Liang Xiao reached out and grabbed the reins of Qingma's horse, and dragged Huo Qubing down. Huo Quzhi was unstable on his footing and fell to the ground. He rolled over and sat up, furious. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson." Liang Xiao took a step forward, stepped on Huo Quzhi's chest, and scolded sharply. "A war horse is not only a horse, but also your comrade-in-arms. It's not that it can't be sacrificed, but it must be sacrificed worthwhile. For the sake of an inconsequential race, you destroyed your war horse so much, and when you came to the battlefield in the future, would you still spare the lives of your soldiers? ”

"Who says it doesn't matter?" Huo Quzhi struggled. "It's about my honour to win or lose this game."

"You are disgraced because you are stupid, it's not that the war horse doesn't do its best." Liang Xiao heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer in the distance, squatted down, and lowered his voice, but it was even more severe. "A true man, who does not blame and does not anger. What kind of man are you who shirk your responsibility to a war horse? ”

Huo Qu was stunned. Liang Xiao reached out and lifted him up. "Count the wounds yourself, how many times did you poke the green horse, and how many times did I beat your ass."

Huo Quzhi subconsciously covered his buttocks, and there was a little more fear in his eyes.

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Do you want me to scold you again in front of your uncle?" ”

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and looking at the torches getting brighter and brighter, Huo Qubing lowered his head and walked towards the green horse. Wei Qing and the others rushed to the front. Seeing that Huo Qubing was covered in dirt, Wei Qing was startled, turned over and dismounted, pounced, hugged Huo Qubing in his arms, and looked left and right.

"Go sick, did you fall off?"

"No, your nephew's riding skills are very good." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Although I lost half a step in the end, it was also rare." He rubbed his hands together and glared at Huo Quzhi fiercely. You say, how many hits should I take? ”

Huo Quzhi snorted, broke free from Wei Qing's embrace, took the torch from Wei Qing's hand, and illuminated Qingma's wounds. Seeing the bloody horse's buttocks, Wei Qing was taken aback. He looked at Liang Xiao, and stopped talking, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

Liang Xiao smiled and didn't say anything, but when he looked at Huo Quai, his eyes were a little cold. Huo Quzhi didn't say a word, and counted the wounds seriously. After counting, he walked up to Liang Xiao, holding the waistband of his trousers in both hands, lowered his head, and muttered, "A total of ...... Thirteen places. ”――
