Text Chapter 109 Horses Know People
The dream is so real.
The tip of the sword glowed coldly, just an inch from his chest.
She almost wanted to scream, but was gently woken up by Hongzhu at the last moment.
"Childe, drink some sobering medicinal soup, otherwise you will have a headache when you sleep until daylight." Hongzhu said softly beside her, and the medicine bowl had been served. Xiao He looked at the red beads, a little dazed, and the scene in the dream seemed to be vivid.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh, took the medicine bowl, and drank it dry without panting.
Lying back on the bed again, closing his eyes, and starting to dream again, but it was some bizarre images, no longer Mu Churan, and no longer the appearance of his childhood.
The next day, I heard that Daduo wanted to take a stroll around the imperial capital to see the customs and customs of Dayin.
Shen Suhang discussed with Xiao He a little, and decided to lead him out of the city to ride a horse to relax. I don't dare to go to this bazaar again, and I can't go to a crowded place, if something like that happens at the city gate again, it will be difficult for Shen Suhang to justify himself.
This time, Daduo came to see him and brought twenty northern horses to Mu Churan.
The northern grasslands are rich in horses, and these 20 good horses are all carefully selected, and you can see the superiority when compared with the horses produced in the Great Yin. Da Yin's horses are a little shorter, and their limbs are not as strong as those of the northern horses. The horse's legs are shorter, and the speed of this run is slower.
Therefore, if it is the cavalry of Da Yin, they can be replaced with such horses, and it must also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the march.
It is said that these horses are specially selected and bred with the fastest and strongest wild horse king in the grassland, and they are carefully raised and raised. The Hu people in northern Xinjiang are good at equestrianism and horse taming. This time I made a gift to show my sincerity.
Now Shen Suhang and they went to ride horses outside the city under the pretext of not making them suspicious. After this plan was reported to Mu Churan, Mu Churan actually had to go with him. This made Shen Suhang and Xiao He look at each other, but it was not easy to refuse.
After arrangement, they went to the Royal Horse Garden in the West Hill Grassland to select horses. Ji Changge and Duan Heng also came to accompany them.
Mu Churan himself already has more than a dozen domesticated horses, many of which have his favorites, and they are quickly selected as soon as they arrive at the place. Shen Suhang also chose a horse to ride, and Ji Changge brought another horse of his own, although it was not as good as Hei Feng, but it was also a good horse.
Duan Heng also has his own exclusive mount, which is a BMW that was paid tribute from Dayue in the past, and was rewarded to him by Mu Churan.
When it was Xiao's turn, she first took a closer look at the horses designated by Mu Churan, and then took a look at the horses offered by the Chishui Ministry this time.
At last she chose a brown-red horse, and looked very energetic, and when she saw someone approaching her, she was eager to try it, as if she were about to run wildly.
When the next person brought the horse out, Daduo saw it, his brows moved slightly, and "this ......" was a little speechless and stopped.
Mu Churan asked him if there was anything wrong with this horse. Dado replied truthfully: "This horse has the strongest temper, but it has been much better under the training of the horse trainer, but every time a woman comes close, it loses its temper. However, since Lord Xiao likes it, there is no problem, it does have outstanding foot strength. ”
As soon as Mu Churan heard that this horse still had such a strange temper, he wanted to call Xiao He back and ask her to change it, so as not to risk it. But as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Xiao He had already walked to the side of the horse.
The horse was psychic, and when he saw Xiao He coming, he stomped his hooves and snorted, and he was extremely anxious. When Xiao He stretched out his hand to lead the horse rope, the red horse suddenly went crazy and neighed, raised his front legs, hung high in the air, and was about to step down at Xiao He.
This change happened too quickly, and Xiao He was also taken aback. The horse's front hooves were raised high, and in front of Xiao He, most of the clear sky was covered by the horse. She only felt a dark shadow in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to draw her weapon, but then she thought that this horse was already a tribute, and thought that she must not be reckless and injured it, so she hesitated a little.
The people around were also shocked, and when they reacted and were about to step forward to stop them, someone reacted faster and shot before others.
Xiao He was pulled from behind, and with that power, the whole person retreated backwards, avoiding the horse's hooves. The horse's hooves fell and stepped out of a shallow pit on the ground, and the location of this pit was where Xiao He had just stood.
Xiao Hecai couldn't help but be a little afraid, and when he looked back, he saw that Daduo was looking at him with a smile. Just now, he stepped forward a few steps and relieved himself. If he hadn't taken the opportunity to pull himself up, maybe he would have been trampled by this horse's hooves at this moment.
Lord Xiao was frightened, and it was strange to say, this horse is usually good and decent, and he will not go crazy. It's just that before, when it met a woman close by, it would be irritable. I'm afraid that Lord Xiao is too pretty, so that it misunderstands that Lord Xiao is a woman before he loses his temper. Daduo didn't speak loudly, and his eyes were still carefully examining Xiao He's face as he spoke, as if he wanted to find out some clues.
Seeing that Xiao He was rescued, Mu Churan put down his heart again, and said coldly: "Although this horse is strong, it is so untamed that it is useless to keep it, just pull it down and put it to death." ”
Xiao He saw that Mu Churan was angry and wanted to dispose of this horse, she hurriedly turned to Mu Churan and said: "Your Majesty, wait, although this horse has some temper, but I'm afraid it's just an accident, please Your Majesty give it another chance, and give the minister a chance to tame it." ”
Mu Churan moved her eyebrows slightly, Xiao He's request was a little too arrogant, even Daduo said that this horse was born with such a temper, and she had to compete with it to the end, as if she wanted to prove something. He knew that she was so strong, but he couldn't refute her meaning, so he waved his hand, let her try, and ordered the palace people to watch her and the horse well, so as not to have any problems.
Xiao He came to the horse's side again, but before it had time to lose its temper, it flew onto the horse's back.
The red-brown horse neighed, jumped and kicked in place, and seemed not very satisfied with the man on his back, and wanted to throw it off the horse with all his heart. The madness of the horse made Dado squint his eyes slightly, and he made a gesture to let people pull the reins of the horse from the side.
But he didn't expect Xiao He to grab the reins on horseback, the horse thought that he was deliberately against Xiao He, shook his neck, and began to step forward, took a few tentative steps a little, and then galloped wildly, rushing out in one direction, not giving Xiao He a chance to grab the reins.
When Mu Churan saw it, he didn't say a word, he also got on the horse and chased after him on horseback. Even the emperor went to chase people, and Duan Heng, Ji Changge and others naturally followed behind.
Duan Heng also had doubts in his heart, It stands to reason that this horse was domesticated and raised since childhood, and it is not like a wild horse, and it has not yet been domesticated, how can it have such a big temper. Is it really as Dado said, just because it thinks that the person who is close is a woman?
However, he could not help but have another bold guess, that the horse is the most spiritual animal, that it discerns things only by its own perception, and that what it perceives is the truth.
Xiao He is actually a woman? When this thought came out, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and couldn't help but speed up his subordinates to speed up two whips, so that the horse could run faster, wanting to catch up with Xiao He and confirm the idea in his heart.
But Xiao He rode a crazy horse, and he was whipped, as if he was desperate to rush forward, and several times Xiao He wanted to reach out and grab the reins, but he was only a millimeter away from touching it.
Aside from its strange temper, this horse is indeed a good horse, and just by looking at the muscles on its body, you can know that it must be strong and powerful, and has been trained to run and jump for many years, and has a flexible reaction and a fast run. It's called Xiao He a little bit liked.
It didn't stop all the way, and when it entered the territory of Jiufeng Mountain, Xiao He held its mane tightly and clinged to the horse, so that he didn't let himself slide off the horse's back. It ran faster and faster, leaving the pursuers far behind.
It didn't take long for Xiao He to realize that it was not possible to go on like this, and further on, she remembered that it was a cliff, although it was not a cliff, but it was also an abyss, and under the cliff was a branch of the Dingbei River that passed through the Jiufeng Mountain mountain barrier, and formed a waterhole between the mountain trenches.
According to the galloping momentum of this horse, maybe he will fall off the cliff with people and horses.
She now really liked the horse, and did not want to abandon it and run away, so she pulled the horse's mane hard, trying to make it turn its head or slow it down, but to no avail. As she got closer and closer to the edge of the cliff in front of her, she could almost hear the sound of water.
Although Mu Churan was the first to get up and go straight, his horse's footsteps were not as fast as Xiao He's horse, and the distance was shortened as he ran. However, he saw Daduo Zema passing by him, and dropped a sentence, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely save Lord Xiao and come back safely." ”
The second half of the sentence could only be sent by the wind, and his figure also floated far away.
Sure enough, Ma Nai BMW in the north of Xinjiang is already a leader in terms of speed alone.
Xiao He was worrying about how to stop the horse from running wildly again, so he heard the sound of horses' hooves next to him, looked sideways, and saw Daduo riding a horse from behind. Not only did he rush over, but he chased him closer and closer. As the two horses approached, he leaned over to the saddle. Xiao He could probably guess what he was going to do, and he couldn't help but admire this barbarian a little in his heart, it was really a nation on horseback, and the artist was bold.
Daduo jumped from his horse and threw himself behind Xiao He.
When it was too late, he untied his short robe, put it on the horse's head, and wrapped his hands around Xiao He to strangle the horse's head. His posture was very rude, but it was also very effective, and the horse could not see, but gradually slowed down and gradually stopped.
Xiao He was strangled in his arms, his head was almost against his chest, and his face was a little red from his violently undulating breathing. And Daduo lowered his head and looked at Xiao He carefully, although she was dressed in men's clothes and wore men's hair, she was actually a woman. There was hardly any space between the two, and he could smell the faint body fragrance on her body, such a sweet girlish smell like a flower, which could never be smelled on a man.
