Chapter 17: Preparing to Return to Beijing
In the next few days, Xu Miaoyun was already deliberately preparing to go to the capital.
If you want to go to the capital, the first thing to consider is the way to travel.
The team that went to Beijing to receive the reward this time was led by Shen Liangzhi and several deputy generals, there were about more than 100 people, and there were some soldiers, who had fought for many years and wanted to return home after the end of their military service, or who were too old and weak to continue fighting.
The way they went to the capital was naturally to ride horses and walk, because the Northern Cold City was really a bit far away from the capital, these people would walk for almost a month. This month, Xu Miaoyun must not be able to walk on one leg, otherwise it will wear through the soles of her feet.
Therefore, learning to ride a horse is the only way.
Over the years, she has taken on many small roles in the crew intermittently, sometimes as a supporting actress, sometimes as a stand-in, so for the scenes often used in costume dramas such as horse riding, Xu Miaoyun has actually done her homework. But that's limited to riding a horse for two laps around the playground or pretending to gallop on a horse.
And this kind of thing that she really wants to gallop for nearly 1 month, she will never be able to do it.
So in the past few days, she has been practicing equestrianism day and night, constantly communicating with the horses.
"Yes, yes, that's it, leaning forward slightly, legs relaxed... You have to feel that people and horses are one..."Shen Liangzhi patiently guided him on the side.
In fact, when Xu Miaoyun said that she wanted him to teach her to ride a horse, Shen Liangzhi refused. But that day, he specially went to ask their General Lu, but only got a sentence of "casual", which made Shen Liangzhi a little puzzled.
Seeing that Xu Miaoyun wanted to learn equestrianism and went to his camp every day to break his thoughts, Shen Liangzhi agreed with a hard head.
However, what made Shen Liangzhi even more puzzled was that since Lu Zhan had already taken a fancy to Xu Miaoyun, the two of them also... And there are the facts. How could he agree to Xu Miaoyun to enter Beijing? Lu Zhan has been a vegetarian for so long, and it is rare to meet an appetizer, so he just let people go?
Shen Liangzhi scratched his head, alas, emotional things, I really don't understand.
"Brother Shen, you see me like this, isn't this right?" Xu Miaoyun rode on a big brown horse and looked at him with a proud face.
Xu Miaoyun, who has been practicing for a few days, can already drive a horse and trot slowly at this moment.
"yes, that's it, keep it."
The bright sun shone on the woman's confident little face, and the picture was so beautiful that Shen Liang's heart was also in a trance for a moment.
And also secretly enjoying such a beautiful scenery, there should have been a land battle that should have appeared on the training ground, but unexpectedly appeared around the horse farm.
"What a stupid! It's been so many days, and I can only trot" Lu Zhan looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was still a little nervous on the horse, and whispered disdainfully.
And over there, one didn't pay attention, and a woman's urgent call came:
"Hey~Hey~Brother Shen~ Save me, this horse is running too fast"
Just now, Xu Miaoyun didn't have the strength to whip a whip, and she pumped harder, and at this time the horse had already begun to run unscrupulously.
Shen Liang, who had been not far from her, saw this and hurriedly rode a horse to gallop over, and seeing that she seemed to be about to be bumped off the horse, he stretched out his long arm and brought the petite woman to his horse.
"Whew-scared me to death, saved-" Xu Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, Brother Shen, thank you!" turned around and thanked Shen Liang with a smile.
"No, it's okay, you can practice again." Shen Liang blushed somehow.
Lu Zhan, who was silently watching from afar, looked at this unsightly scene, and the kind of déjà vu depression rose again, and he turned away irritably.
Standing on the high platform of the training ground, Lu Zhan looked at the soldiers below who were focusing on training, suddenly remembered something, and said to Adjutant General Li beside him, "Adjutant General Li, you will order to go down later, and in a few days enter Beijing to receive the reward, and place a few carriages to accompany you." This time, there are several veterans who have made meritorious contributions, and it is important that they return home comfortably on their journey. ”
Vice Admiral Li gratefully received the order immediately.
In the afternoon, Xu Miaoyun, who was limping and tired from horse training, was about to jump up excitedly when she heard the good news that there would be a carriage casual.
Fortunately, there is a carriage, otherwise if she continues to practice, her ass and thighs will be cocooned!
So in order to thank General Lu for making this extremely wise decision, when she delivered food to Lu Zhan in the evening, she deliberately fried an extra dish of hot kohlrabi with all the color and flavor, and put a little spicy on it. On that day, she heard Xiao Tie say that the general likes spicy food, but he has to take care of the taste of the whole military camp, so he doesn't often eat spicy food in the army.
When Lu Zhan saw this dish that was obviously made for him, and the flattering smile on Xu Miaoyun's face, the unhappiness in the racecourse during the day was swept away.
