Chapter 24: Tricks
Between the sword and sword, she was a little worried, so she opened the sedan curtain tremblingly.
The two dismantled each other a few times, Nan Ruochen's blade suddenly turned, slashing horizontally, stabbing vertically, faster and faster, the sword in his hand made a whirring sound, and suddenly he grabbed a flaw, his wrist shook suddenly, and he slashed his sword as fast as a cold light, pointing directly at the wrist of the masked man holding the knife!
Seeing this, several masked people in the back immediately surrounded him, and the knives of a dozen or so people slashed at him together.
His eyes darkened, and he swung his sword to open the sword that pressed against his head, moving faster and faster, and the sword in his hand shuttled among the masked people like a swimming dragon, shining silver in the sunlight.
Seeing this, the ten people on the other side immediately set up a formation, pounced on him one after another, and retreated with one move, he was surrounded in the middle, and dealt with it round by round, and gradually became a little unable to parry.
His moves changed suddenly, and his well-behaved posture suddenly became chic and brisk, and his wrist flicked, but it was a move that pierced the peach.
Before she could react, Nan Ruochen had already pulled her up and flew out.
"Stop chasing! The princess asked us to deal with her secretly, and we were not allowed to make a big deal about it, lest the prince know about it! We'll look for another chance next time. The masked man at the head spoke, and the others had to put away their knives and all retreated.
Above her head, she was hugged by him, and the wind blew on her face, and she only felt a slight tingle. At this time, the forest was also overridden at the feet.
She was already a little afraid of heights, she didn't dare to look at it at all, she closed her eyes, her heart was beating hard, and she couldn't help hugging Nan Ruochen's waist tightly. The faint scent of lotus flowers on his body rushed into the tip of her nose for a while, and she seemed to feel a little more at ease.
She didn't see it, and the corners of Nan Ruochen's mouth showed a faint smile.
I don't know how long it took, her feet finally landed on the solid ground, she tentatively opened her eyes, only to find that she was hugging Nan Ruochen tightly, she immediately let go of her hand and wiped the sweat from her palms in embarrassment.
He smiled indifferently and walked straight forward regardless of it, she was not familiar with this person, so she could only follow him step by step.
"Where are we going?" She couldn't help but trot a few steps before she could barely keep up with him.
"Lu Nuoxin, you tell me your story first, and I'll tell you where we're going!"
She was seen through her heart and said hesitantly: "... What a story..."
"If you go out to play and startle the horse, how can anyone chase you?"
"Chase? Didn't they just take me back? She asked tentatively.
"You are so naΓ―ve, when those masked people made a move with me just now, every move was aimed at you, and the move was deadly, or I blocked you, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me? You are a little girl, what is your deep hatred for them? β
Deadly moves? She reacted instantly, but she couldn't speak. In this case, there is no reason for her to go back.
She looked stubborn and refused to say more, he looked at her sad eyes, but he couldn't bear to ask any more.
"You wait for me here." Before she could ask him where he was going, Nan Ruochen had long since disappeared.
Soon, she seemed to hear the faint sound of horses' hooves again, and her slightly relieved heart was lifted again, and she immediately found a big tree and squatted behind it, quietly listening to the movement in the distance.
Suddenly, a figure flickered overhead, grabbed her tightly from behind, she was so frightened that she screamed nervously: "Help......
The person behind hurriedly let go of her and covered her mouth: "Lu Nuoxin, why are you so loud?" It's me! β
She turned around, and when she saw that it was Nan Ruochen, she immediately relaxed and sat on the ground all of a sudden: "Do you guys like to be so scary?" β
"Our man? Who else scares you? Nan Ruochen brought the horse he had just found and asked casually.
There was a thick gloom in her eyes, and there was sadness in her eyes that could not be dissolved. She remained silent and refused to speak.
"Get on the horse!" As she spoke, Nan Ruochen threw the reins in her hand, but before she could react from that sadness, she caught a glimpse of the shadow cast by the reins under the projection of the sun, and caught it off guard.
"I... I don't know how to ride a horse..."
"I know." Nan Ruochen didn't look up, and she didn't even look at her.
"Then you still let me ride a horse!" She was a little dissatisfied.
"I just don't know how to ride to let you ride, is it possible that you plan to learn after you really fall off your horse?"
When he said this, she seemed to have some desire to learn, but she timidly held the reins and stood there and did not dare to move.
When she was a child, her father taught her to ride a bicycle, and she once fell off the car hard, and from then on, no matter how much her father tried to persuade her, she would never learn to ride a bicycle again.
Nan Ruochen ignored it and taught her by herself: "First of all, teach you how to get on the horse." You have to approach the horse within the horse's line of sight, first grasp the reins, hold the saddle with both hands, and then put on the pedals, and you can easily ride on the horse's back. You try it. β
Saying that, Nan Ruochen pushed her to the horse without saying anything, took her hand, and touched the horse's head, the horse not only did not dodge and resist, but also rubbed her hand meekly, she didn't seem to be so scared in her heart.
As he had said, she took the saddle in both hands, put on the pedals, and carefully climbed up the horse. She was a little nervous, and couldn't help but tighten the reins in her hand, and at this moment, the horse took two steps back, and she was about to fall off without paying attention, and her center of gravity was unstable.
It was too late, it was too fast, Nan Ruochen turned over and jumped on the horse, and she fell steadily into his arms. At this time, Nan Ruochen's hand was on her waist, her back was against his chest, and her head was leaning on his shoulder, this posture was too intimate and ambiguous, she immediately sat up straight and kept a certain distance from him.
Nan Ruochen pulled up the reins casually: "Don't pull the reins indiscriminately, otherwise no matter how smart the horse is, it will not understand your command and become overwhelmed." β
"Don't hold the horse's belly between your legs......"
"If the horse misses its front hoof, quickly lift the reins and lean back so that the horse can be lifted......"
"Concentrate and stay focused."
ββ¦β¦β
After about an hour, she was able to ride slowly forward by herself.
Nan Ruochen smiled: "It seems that you are not as delicate and stupid as I thought." β
Hearing this, she frowned slightly and glared at him fiercely.
"Hold on!" Nan Ruochen came out with these words, and suddenly slapped the horse's back fiercely, and the horse rushed out in an instant, and she was so frightened that she was almost gone, but she could only bite the bullet and guide the direction of the horse as she had practiced before.
Nan Ruochen had already jumped on the horse at this time and followed her.
The wind whistled in her ears, and she finally found her center of gravity in the midst of the tosses and sat firmly on the back of her horse. Suddenly, she felt as if she was about to fly, and she seemed to forget the pain she had suffered.
She was on horseback, smiling slightly at Nan Ruochen beside her, and the phrase "thank you" was scattered in the wind......
