Chapter Twenty-Five: White Horse
In the stable, horses of different physiques and colors were chewing grain and grass with their heads down, and there were piles of horse manure of all sizes like stones, and Xie Lingxu felt that the taste here was really indescribable.
"What are they doing here?" Xie Lingxu turned his head and asked Chu Xiudao.
"To pick a horse, you have to get acquainted with the horse you have chosen, and ride a horse around the horse farm."
Xie Lingxu nodded thoughtfully.
The owner of the stables was in high spirits, and enthusiastically introduced while gesturing with his hands: "These are pure Dawan good horses, with spiritual tightness; And here - this red rabbit horse is also a dragon and phoenix among horses; The nobles are tall, so it is perfect to ride this tall snow dragon horse. ”
Xie Lingxu saw that the fur of these good horses was shiny, the muscles were smooth, and they ate grass with arrogance, and suddenly felt that they were not as good as a horse......
The emperor turned his head and said to Chu Xiu and the others, "You also go and pick horses, and you will compete with us later." ”
The emperor saw that Lingxu stood still and patted her on the shoulder: "Ling, why don't you go?" ”
Xie Lingxu: "I don't know how to ride a horse." ”
Xie Lingxu recalled in his mind the experience of riding a horse on the plateau, and he didn't know what kind of horse he was riding at that time, that guy, walking all the way and pulling all the way, and finally stepped on a pile of horse manure, and the picture of galloping on the grassland and flying with the wind in his fantasy turned out to be riding a horse in the sea of horse manure, and he decided at that time that he would never have the slightest intersection with this species in this life.
"You don't know how to ride a horse? You don't even know how to ride a horse? I don't know why the emperor is smiling so happily, this naked ridicule simply challenges Xie Lingxu's violent temper.
The emperor: "No, it doesn't matter, I can teach you, you can pick a horse to practice." ”
Xie Lingxu faintly felt that the emperor deliberately wanted to see himself look foreign, but he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to face the difficulties and try to fall into a beautiful dog and eat later......
Chu Xiu came to Xie Lingxu's side and said to her earnestly as a professional: "Lingxu, if you don't know how to ride a horse, don't pick these horses that are too high-grade, these horses are good horses with spirituality and temper, if you can't suppress them, then it won't be you who ride, but the horse will slip you." You see, there are some small horses over there that look a lot docile and not very aggressive, and I think you should pick the one over there first when you first ride a horse. ”
Xie Lingxu thought that he couldn't see that Chu Xiu was quite caring, nodded and said hello, and walked to the grass shed opposite.
Under the eaves, a horseman over half a hundred years old leaned against the stake with a leaf cigarette, squinted at Xie Lingxu and said:
"Girl, the horses here are all inferior horses, specialized in pulling grain and transporting goods."
Xie Lingxu wanted to care what kind of horse he was, anyway, he was a soy sauce player, so he had to deal with it.
"How's this horse?" Xie Lingxu casually pointed to a white horse in the corner that was silently gnawing grass.
"This horse is called White, and it's a bastard with a bad coat."
"Oh." Xie Lingxu walked in and saw that the horse was not white, the mane was gray-black without luster, and the horsetail was black and white.
Xie Lingxu caressed the horse's back, and in the clean and clear eyes of the creatures of nature, it seemed that he could always see another world in the world. After staring at Bai Qian for a moment, Xie Lingxu was stunned in his heart, and then said:
"That's it"
Taking the reins, Xie Lingxu led Bai Qiu out of the stable, and quietly followed Bai Qiu's hair on the side of the wide horse farm, only to feel that the only tenderness he had was given to the purest Holy Spirit in this world at one time.
The eyes of the king of You, who was riding a sweaty and bloody BMW on the side, fell on the black-clothed girl holding the white horse, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he was forcibly pulled back to his senses by the emperor's words
"Brother Moheng, do you remember when was the last time we raced horses?"
Youwang: "I don't remember. ”
Emperor: "Three years ago, I was only the sixth prince at that time. ”
"Yes, the emperor has a good memory."
"That horseback ride three years ago was really vivid, I almost won you!"
King You smiled faintly, and in a trance seemed to remember the past and the emperor riding a horse, at that time, the six princes had not yet become the current emperor, and at that time I felt that among all the princes, he was pure and good-natured, and his impression of him was not bad. It's just that now, if a person with a weak personality wants to be in a high position of governing the country and seeking power, then he can only be misguided and spurned......
It was rare for the emperor and King You to chat a few words, but Xiao Qixin's eager shout came from a distance: "Oh no, King Shang has fallen off the horse!" ”
The emperor's face was suddenly startled, and the king raised his head lightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Qixin rode a galloping horse and panted: "...... He, just ...... The king of Shang fell from his horse. ”
The king was surprised, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head around, and said sharply:
"Let's go, let's see."
Xie Lingxu heard the movement here, and thought that he thought that this Shang King was gold, but it turned out that his mother was not bronze, and he fell off the horse before he started the horse race.
In the crowd of eunuchs and warriors, the Shang King had a hideous face, his pale face was bloodless, fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was twitching to support a eunuch-like person beside him.
Xie Lingxu saw that he was bending his right leg, and his left leg was obviously injured and did not dare to move, so the summoned imperial doctor hurriedly squatted down and tore open the trouser leg of King Shang, and used the medicine box he carried with him to do emergency treatment.
The emperor asked the Shang King, who had a painful and hideous face, and said, "Shang King, why did you fall like this, this horse is not easy to use?" ”
Shang Wang tried his best to manage his facial expression, and said in a bitter voice:
"No, it's a minister...... I accidentally sprained my foot yesterday, and I just ...... When you get on the horse...... Uh, I didn't catch it, so I ...... Accidentally fell down and broke his leg. ”
The emperor nodded: "Then the king of Shang has to be careful." Doctor Tai, how is the injury on King Shang's leg? ”
The imperial doctor resignedly said: "Back to the emperor, King Shang has a small fracture in his left leg, but fortunately it is not very serious, and he can recover in a few days after resting well." ”
The emperor: "Since this is the case, you can rest well, and in Marseille in the afternoon, the king of Shang should put it aside first." ”
Shang Wang: "This ...... It's a shame to have even started riding a horse, and it's a shame to fall......" King Shang shook his head with an ugly face.
"Don't get in the way, it's just a Marseille, when the king of Shang is cured, it's not a big deal for us to come to the wind and the forest again, today I will ride with the king of You, you can rest in peace."
King Shang sighed, and his expression was very entangled: "Now it can only be like this, the minister is useless, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
The Emperor: "Alas...... If there is any crime or not, the king of Shang must not be injured. ”
Xie Lingxu only felt that there was a big drama of brotherly love in front of him, and he was really insightful to be alive.
Shang Wang Khan rained down, helped the eunuch on the side a little bit to move to the pavilion next to him and sat down, Fang Cai's face of apology disappeared without a trace, leaving only the terrifying anger in his eyes, Xie Lingxu saw him pick up the porcelain cup on the side and throw it to the ground sharply, the tea splashed on the ground, and he gestured his hand and scolded the palace maid serving on the side, obviously angry with her.
Xie Lingxu turned his head and thought to himself that fortunately he didn't send him to the king of Shang, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand his temper, and one day he would poison him in his tea, poison him and then kill himself. In contrast, the emperor is still quite amiable.
Everyone around him got on the horse, although Xie Lingxu was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he still settled down and stepped on the stirrup, swept over with a horizontal leg and sat on the saddle.
Pulling the reins, Xie Lingxu's body couldn't help shaking. Bai Qiu noticed the latter's movement and took a few steps forward.
"Hey...... Spirit, let's try to compete! The emperor rushed to his side, Xie Lingxu just wanted to turn around and say to the emperor, you can play by yourself, but the emperor patted Bai Lingxu's horse, Bai Qian rushed forward violently, and pulled Xie Lingxu's body with the reins forward.
"......"
Xie Lingxu was so frightened that he lost half of his soul, and desperately pulled the reins to avoid falling off the horse.
Bai Qiu spread his legs and ran forward, Xie Lingxu's movements couldn't keep up with the changes in Bai Qiu's center of gravity, and he staggered on the horse's back, and he felt that his internal organs were going to shake out all the bumps along the way.
Seeing her soul flying, the emperor rode the horse on the side and said calmly: "It seems that you really can't ride a horse?" ”
Xie Lingxu turned his head and gave him a blank look: "Fei ......" only felt that his words were incomplete, and if he was slightly distracted, he was at risk of falling off the horse.
The emperor: "Don't be afraid, you don't have a strong temperament, you can follow it for a few laps, and you will find the feeling." ”
Xie Lingxu couldn't even straighten his waist, and scolded secretly: Looking for a fucking bullshit feeling, labor and management don't feel it......
"You just need to hold it steady, I'll go find King You first." With that, the emperor turned around and ran, leaving Xie Lingxu alone on horseback in a daze.
Fortunately, Xie Lingxu's motor nerves were still developed, and he found his balance while running, and gradually adapted to the rhythm of Bai Qi's running, so he let go of his hanging heart and enjoyed the feeling of moving forward against the wind on horseback.
Xie Lingxu leaned his waist forward slightly, and the hand holding the reins waved back and forth frequently, and the sound of the wind whistling in his ears swept over the thin man on his neck, slightly cold. Shredded hair fluttered in the wind, revealing her full forehead.
Xie Lingxu felt that the excitement of the horse was no less than that of drag racing, and even more exciting than drag racing.
Bai Qiu ran wildly, surpassing Chu Xiu, Xiao Qixin and others all the way, and he had a posture of rushing forward endlessly, rain or shine.
Chu Xiu looked at Xie Lingxu's back galloping on horseback in surprise and said:
"Lingxu, your horse is running too fast, be careful!"
Xiao Qixin pulled the reins to stop the horse, turned his head and called Chu Xiu:
"Huh...... I said Lao Chu, don't you think it's a little abnormal for Xiao Xie to be fast? ”
