Chapter 10: The Tiger Ben

"Did you agree in advance?"

Faced with this coincidence, Liu Sheng's face was almost black to the bottom of the pot.

"How is that possible!" Zhao Liusi was very hurt, "You are slandering my conduct." ”

"Huh." At this moment, Liu Sheng learned Zhao Liusi's mocking laughter.

"Uh, I wonder what you're talking about?" Yan Ran, who has been unclear about the situation since just now, smiled without the slightest embarrassing interjection, with this kind of cheekiness and psychological quality, it is also very powerful.

"Do you know that we came to this horse farm today to meet us on purpose?" Liu Sheng didn't say politely, with his and Yan Ran's current identities, he really didn't have to give Yan Ran face.

"That's a joke," Yan Ran glanced at Zhao Liusi, who looked apologetic next to him, and then smiled very decently, "Yan has something to do today, especially to go to Chiyue Mountain, just now I passed by here, and saw that the person waving seemed to be the second miss, so I came to say hello." ”

"Akatsuki Mountain?" Liu Sheng's eyebrows furrowed, and then he asked, "What are you doing there?" ”

"It's about to be the day of the sacrifice, and the county lord sent me to check whether the Heroic Spirit Monument is in good condition, and see if I need to make any preparations in advance." Yan Ran said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He didn't need to say this, but Liu Sheng's attitude was aggressive, he didn't advance but retreated, but showed a good temper.

Zhao Liusi was a little unhappy next to him, and pulled Liu Sheng's sleeve, "Don't make trouble, it's really just a chance encounter." ”

At this time, Liu Sheng put on the mentality of an old man who prevented his cabbage from being arched by pigs, and looked at Yan Ran with hostility, "The reason is well-prepared." ”

The implication is that I still don't believe it.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Yan Ran smiled very beautifully, and winked at Zhao Liusi behind Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng even had the mind to pick out his eyeballs now.

"Alright, don't say any more." Zhao Liusi originally had good intentions, but she didn't expect to cause such a mess, seeing that Liu Sheng's mood was a hundred times worse than just now, she was also very unhappy, and directly pulled the reins, "You don't want him to teach me, change someone else, why bother to belittle people here." ”

"Be careful!" Liu Sheng saw that she turned the horse's head and walked back, knowing that she was worthy of sitting firmly, and was shocked at the moment, worried and blurted out.

Sure enough, Zhao Liusi's horse head was extremely dangerous, and then as soon as she clamped the horse's belly, she wanted to run immediately, but her body was crooked and twisted without taking two steps, and she was almost thrown out.

"Oops!" Zhao Liusi screamed pretendedly, leaned towards Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng really caught her quickly, pulled her to his horse, and then reprimanded him with a calm face, "You want to run before you learn to walk, and you want to die." ”

Yan Ran grabbed the horse and watched them quietly from the side, Zhao Liusi took advantage of Liu Sheng's lack of expression when she was holding her, and gave Yan Ran a look.

This uncle is too troublesome, and he has to do something to distract him.

Yan Ran bowed slightly, understood what Zhao Liusi meant, and signaled her not to worry about herself.

Seeing Yan Ran cooperate so much, Zhao Liusi breathed a sigh of relief, and then tugged on Zhao Liusi's sleeve and said, "It's not your fault, if you want to indiscriminately train people and judge people like prisoners, can I be ashamed to stand still?" ”

Liu Sheng pursed his lips and didn't speak, but just held Zhao Liusi and asked her to get off the horse, "I don't ask, you go and ride your own horse." ”

"No, I'm afraid." Zhao Liusi pretended to be weak without any burden, "I almost fell down just now, and now I don't dare to ride alone, you take me back." ”

Liu Sheng was in a dilemma for a while, so he could only push Zhao Liusi, "Men and women are not kissed, it is inappropriate to ride together, you go down." ”

"It's such a long way, you want me to walk back." Zhao Liusi shouted dissatisfiedly, then looked at Yan Ran next to him, and lowered his voice to Liu Sheng, "It's either you or him here, if you don't take me back, then I can only beg him." ”

"Don't go!" Liu Sheng said sharply, seeing that Yan Ran next to him lowered his voice for some reason, and then returned to his normal tone, "I'll take you with you, it's done, you have to be straight." ”

Liu Sheng is a gentleman, even if the two ride together, they don't take advantage of her, both of them have straight voices, they seem to depend on each other, but there is a slit in the middle.

Although this posture was uncomfortable, Zhao Liusi didn't care about it, as long as Liu Sheng didn't trouble Yan Ran. The three of them walked back together, and Zhao Liusi explained to Yan Ran apologetically, "Uncle Liu brought me here to learn how to ride a horse, but I didn't expect to run into you." Before you came, we made a bet that we saw that the man was riding well, and we wanted to ask him to be a teacher. ”

"I see." Yan Ran laughed out loud, and her tone was hearty, "In that case, I still owe you a teacher." ”

"Not really." Zhao Liusi smiled.

Both of them knew that since the person who came was Yan Ran, then they must not be his teacher, so they made fun of it.

"Yan Gongzi is a visitor to the capital, I originally thought that the people in the capital were all fancy horses, but I didn't want Yan Gongzi's riding posture to be a bit of a Hu people's posture," Liu Sheng didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a big move, "I don't know why." ”

"Liu Ye has good eyesight." Yan Ran smiled, he had been in the yamen for the past few months, and he also knew about this famous god of wealth in the border city, so he called him Liu Ye like others, and then replied, "Although I am from the capital, there were also a few Kunlun slaves in my family in the early years, and there were some soldiers who participated in the battle of Chiyue Mountain, and they taught them to ride and shoot, so there are some Hu shadows." ”

The cavalry of this dynasty is not outstanding, in the early years the land of water and grass were occupied by the Hu people, the imperial court did not even have a place to practice cavalry, and built a cavalry army in the east and west, in order to better play the role of these soldiers and horses, they have taken Hu as a teacher, so there are many shadows of Hu people in the cavalry and shooting.

"Oh, I thought you had blood over there." Liu Sheng smiled, but the smile was cold.

However, this reason is very reasonable, many of the soldiers who were in the sign came from Samwon and the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and a large part of them were slaves in the families of the Gyeonggi nobility, and with his speculation about Yan Ran's identity, it is not surprising that he received this kind of education. Only then did he become a little less suspicious of Yan Ran.

The war was too tragic that year, almost all the adult and adult men in Lingtai County had guarded the city wall, although Liu Sheng was young at that time, he was already a teenager, and he also delivered food and saw the ferocity of the Hu people.

The people who came over in that era had a special vigilance and disgust for the Hu people.

"Riding and archery this kind of kung fu, what is the use of bloodline, if you have it, you will also practice it the day after tomorrow." Yan Ran smiled, and then looked at Zhao Liusi, "But the second young lady is a woman, why do you still want to learn this?" It's too hard, isn't it? ”

"The women of the frontier will mostly ride horses." Liu Sheng said indifferently.

"Most of them are ordinary people, or have special needs." Yan Ran recalled what he saw in Biansai, although the overall folk customs of Biansai are fierce, but the overall extravagance of the imperial court still affects a lot here, many people with a bit of identity are following the example of Beijing to raise their children, each lady is raised in the deep boudoir, the door is not out of the door, every time you travel, you are a car on the face.

"Why bother with what those idiots do." Liu Sheng's answer was simple and rude, but it seemed to be full of deep meaning, "There are many skills that are not pressing, people who can ride horses can run fast, and sometimes they can have more lives than others." ”

"Running for your life?" Yan Ran raised her eyebrows, and then mixed the topic with a smile, "Liu Ye is really far-sighted. ”

"Where, it's not as good as you," Liu Sheng stopped talking halfway through his words, and looked down at Zhao Liusi, who was sitting in front of him.

Zhao Liusi saw Liu Sheng stabbing Yanran as he said just now, and hurriedly pinched the inside of his arm to warn this person to shut up. But she didn't expect Liu Sheng to be so enduring, she didn't scream when she pinched it so painfully just now.

Seeing Liu Sheng looking at him fixedly, Zhao Liusi put on an innocent face, pretending not to know anything and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?" ”

"Half an hour to go." Liu Sheng grimaced and replied not very happily.

"Haha." Zhao Liusi laughed twice, and when he saw Yan Ran snickering there, he quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Yan Ran, didn't you just go to see Chiyue Mountain?" Coincidentally, Uncle Liu also told me about the Battle of Chiyue Mountain just now. ”

"Liu Ye also knows about that battle?" Seeing this, Yan Ran's eyes lit up.

"There is no one in the border city who is a little old who does not know." Liu Sheng's answer was very bland.

"Then do you know the Tiger Army?" Yan Ran's voice was slightly excited.

"I seem to have heard of it," Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "I remember that there seems to be a group of people in the pioneer camp who are called Tiger Ben, but I don't know if it is the Tiger Ben Army you mentioned." ”

Zhao Liusi saw Yan Ran's hand holding the reins tightly, and then asked in a somewhat dry voice, "Then do you know what happened to them?" ”

She is also familiar with Yan Ran, and when she sees Yan Ran like that, she knows that no matter how normal his appearance is at the moment, he must be excited in his heart.

"I don't know." Liu Sheng replied very simply, and Yan Ran's expression froze there all of a sudden.

"Uncle, how can you not know!" Zhao Liusi pretended to be coquettish, and quickly opened his mouth, using this to distract Liu Sheng's attention.

"I was less than fourteen years old at the time, and I was not qualified to go to the camp at all, how could I know such a thing." Liu Sheng listened to Zhao Liusi's complaints, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "At that time, the city was chaotic, and the Liu family was even more chaotic, your father was not at home, so he went to the barracks to help, and his wife just conceived you, and his mind didn't belong." After my sister and I were busy, we had to be omen to go to the city wall to defend the city. ”

"Don't I think uncle, you're powerful and omnipotent." Zhao Liusi listened to Liu Sheng's words and hurriedly patted his ass.

Yan Ran on the side had already come back to his senses at this time, he took a breath, smiled reluctantly, and then asked as if unintentionally, "Then dare to ask Liu Ye, where did you hear the name Tiger Ben?" ”
