He Zhen nodded heavily: Yes.
But in Chu Ning's view, this action has another meaning: it is indeed inappropriate.
It was so inconvenient to communicate without language, and the two of them were at odds on the first basic question.
"I heard that the Pegasus all have to choose their masters, otherwise they will not be able to reproduce, only the Pegasus who have signed a contract can breed heirs, this is the oath made by your own ancestors back then, when they were loyal to the founding son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Pegasus is also more precious because of this restriction," Chu Ning raised his hand and gently stroked its back, "I don't know how you cooperated with the prince in the past, anyway, the prince is dead, if you want to choose the master again, you might as well consider me." β
He Zhen stared at a pair of horse eyes bigger and bigger, the last time he came to Dongqi, it was for something else, he was mistakenly recognized as the assassin who assassinated the king of Qi, he was the king of the Tianma tribe, if he just recognized a little girl as the deed owner, what face would he have in the future?
Chu Ning naturally didn't care about these complex mental activities, she recently looked through ancient books and found a new method, planning to use it on He Zhen to try. It is said that in the middle of the horse's tail, there is one tail mane that is the thickest, and if you can tie a knot in this tail mane, you can control the Pegasus smoothly.
Thinking she had fully communicated, she tapped Hezhen twice on the back and walked behind him.
In Chu Ning's eyes, this is just a horse, and it is normal to touch the tail. However, the Pegasus clan is born with abundant spiritual power, most of them can transform when they reach adulthood, and their thinking is no different from that of normal adults, and the best of the Pegasus clan like Hezhen is even more intelligent, and he can't tolerate a little girl who wants to pick his tail and take a look.
Seeing that Chu Ning had gone around behind him, He Zhen had no choice but to raise his front hooves and hiss while spinning in place. This kind of action means that the horses are in danger, and the other horses in the entire herd, although they can't understand Chu Ning's words, understand Hezhen's voice, and then become irritable.
Chu Ning realized that the situation was not good, and stepped forward and grabbed He Zhen's tail, her hand had just been grasped, and the whole herd of horses ran wildly, and He Zhen was in it, and he had to follow the gallop, so as not to be trampled by the frightened horses. Chu Ning was slammed by it and almost fell to the ground, but she didn't want to lose this rare opportunity, so she had to continue to grasp Hezhen's tail and be dragged forward by it.
She was caught between the countless startled horses, and at first she could barely maintain her pace, but then she was hit by a horse that rushed up diagonally, and the whole person involuntarily fell to one side, and was dragged forward by Hezhen for a long time. She just wanted to let go at this time, there were frightened horses running in front and back, Tianma was born to dominate the race, Hezhen's emotions were infinitely amplified in the herd, and Chu Ning completely became a grain of sand in the stormy waves.
She wanted to climb on Hezhen's back and turn it into a riding position, but Hezhen was willing to do anything, and kept jumping left and right to throw Chu Ning down. In this way, He Zhen's pace slowed down, and more and more horses began to overtake the two of them, and finally one of them hit He Zhen hard, but he still refused to stop, and he was about to step on Chu Ning.
The horse's front hooves had just been raised, when suddenly there was a sharp whistle that sounded like the chirping of some kind of bird. The horses, which had been like clusters of arrows off the string, suddenly stopped when they heard the whistle, and their bodies trembled visibly. As if there was a large invisible net covering its head, the herd of horses fartzed and only circled in place, gradually closing together.
Chu Ning escaped death, still holding on to Hezhen's tail in his hand. Above her head, someone laughed and said, "Little beauty, what are you making trouble about?" β
You don't have to look back to know that the tone of this hippie smile must be Jing Yuanyi. He reclined on the highest branch of a crooked little tree, and the branches swayed, and he rose and fell with them, like a great bird.
He took a whistle in his hand, put it to his lips and blew it, and the whistle made the same high-pitched sound as before. The horses seemed to be terrified of the sound, and even Hezhen stopped jumping around.
Chu Ning didn't want to pay attention to him, he just wanted to give him a white eye.
The palace guards who were in charge of the war horses caught up breathlessly, and after counting the horses, they nodded to Jing Yuan and thanked him: "If it weren't for Lord Jing just here, I'm afraid this group of startled horses wouldn't have calmed down so easily, and if the king blames us, our lives won't be saved." β
Jing Yuanyi had already guessed that it was Chu Ning who caused this incident, but he didn't say anything, pretended to jump down from the tree, patted the shoulder of the head of the guard, pointed at Chu Ning and said, "Look at your horse scaring this young lady, I can't bear to be such a little beauty...... Well, if only I didn't have that scar on my face...... Xiang Xiaoyu died under the horse's hooves, so I did you a favor by the way, why don't you hurry up and bring the horse back! β
The palace guards came to drive the horses in person, and Chu Ning's plan definitely couldn't be continued, so she obediently let go, and didn't forget to say in Hezhen's ear: "Think about my proposal." β
Consider an ancestor, no one will follow you! Hezhen roared silently and walked away together in the herd.
Chu Ning was about to leave, and Jing Yuanyi came up without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Little beauty, don't you thank me?" β
"I have a scar on my face!" Chu Ning glared at him.
Jing Yuanyi seemed to be completely unable to see his eyes, copied half a step to the left, and stopped in front of Chu Ning: "Well, the scar is indeed a beautiful jade flaw, in fact, covering the scar, you can be regarded as the best in the world, second only to me." β
Chu Ning didn't hold it up in the end, coughed violently a few times, and almost choked on his own saliva. She hadn't figured out how to get the jade Ruyi back for Ji Chongguang, and she didn't want to entangle with Jing Yuanyi, in her opinion, Jing Yuan had too many moths, and it was too draining to talk to him.
But she suddenly remembered the whistle that magically stopped the startled horse, and it seemed to be recorded in the book that there was a kind of Xuanniao, which had helped Zhou Tianzi to fight when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, and the whole clan had formed an immortal contract with the Zhou royal family, and had been loyal to the Great Zhou royal family for generations. It is said that this bird can transform into a human almost soon after birth, and can grow up in the form of a bird or a human. The Xuanniao clan has produced countless brave generals with bewitching and beautiful faces, both male and female, who have made immortal contributions to the Great Zhou Kai country. The point is that the chirping of the Xuanniao is the most feared natural enemy of the Pegasus, and the fact that the Xuanniao clan has many generals also has a lot to do with their ability to control the horse team.
She turned her head to look at Jing Yuanyi: "The first beauty in the world, can you lend me the whistle you just used?" β
Jing Yuanyi maintained his usual bewitching smile: "It can be okay, it depends on what you exchange it for." β
"Just take a look, do you need to be so stingy?" Chu Ning spoke to him patiently, she was too curious about the whistle. It is rumored that when the birds were alive, the cartilage on their throats was cut off, and the whistle made of it could also have the effect of dominating ten thousand horses, and could lead the Pegasus to obey orders. It's just that the habitat of the Xuanyao is mysterious, and the Xuanyao is all brave and good at fighting, and no one has a chance to verify this statement, and it has always been just a legend.
If you can have such a whistle in your hand, it will be much easier to manipulate Hezhen.
"It's not that I'm stingy," Jing Yuan took the whistle in his hand, "Little beauty, to tell you the truth, as soon as your eyes rolled, I knew what ill-intentioned ghost ideas you were thinking again." How many good things have you deceived me from me, do you want to keep them as a dowry? Otherwise, you will simply marry me, and then all my things will be yours, and even me will be yours. β
Chu Ning knew that he must have another purpose in going around, so his mind suddenly smiled and said, "Then you might as well talk about it, what do you want me to exchange for?" β
Jing Yuanyi glanced at her a few times, as if to gauge her sincerity, stared at her for a moment, and suddenly approached the god and said mysteriously: "The Suyin family has a treasure of the town, and I don't know how much you know about it?" β
The treasure of the town? When Chu Ning heard these four words, his first reaction was the ancient bell Xuancang hanging above the altar at the entrance of the Suyin family's mansion, but this thing, I'm afraid there are few people in Lindu who haven't heard of it, the big parrot has gone around in such a big circle to make a fuss, definitely not to say this.
Chu Ning opened his eyes and mouth into a round shape: "You don't want me to steal it, do you?" β
"Of course not," Jing Yuan smiled and the corners of his eyes flew obliquely, his expression was like a colorful fox staring at the chickens in the chicken coop, "I just borrowed it, and I can ask you to help me return it when I run out." β
If she went back even a month, Chu Ning would flatly refuse, but at this time, she really wanted to hear what good things the Suyin family had that Jing Yuanyi was so concerned about.
