Chapter 15: A Ride
"Gu Xu, can you help me take a closer look, is there a few gray hairs on my head?" On the way to the stable, Zhao Yan asked Gu Xu beside her.
The love experience from Emperor Ziwei told Gu Xu that the most correct answer at this time was "The king is young and beautiful, how can he have gray hair."
But he knew very well that this kind of clumsy rhetoric could not deceive Zhao Yan.
So he gently brushed away her jet-black soft hair, looking for those faint silver whites, and said in a concerned tone: "These days, you must have had a hard time......
"It's not because of you," Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes and looked lazy, like a coquettish cat, "As soon as the apprentice ascended the throne, the apprentice flew away, leaving the apprentice to have to carry the heavy burden of a country on his shoulders alone, and deal with all kinds of troublesome political affairs all day long." ”
"It's me who's wrong," Gu Xu lowered his head slightly, pulling out the few scattered gray hairs for her, "This time, I won't leave again." ”
"Really? Don't lie to me. ”
"When did I lie to you? To tell you the truth, the most important purpose of my visit to the North this time is to marry you. ”
Hearing the words "marry you as a wife", Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, confirmed that she had heard correctly, and then said leisurely: "But I haven't agreed yet." ”
"How about proposing to you now?" Gu Xu smiled, looked at her charming eyes, and said in a sincere tone, "Yan'er, I like you and want to be with you for the rest of my life, are you willing?" ”
Gu Xu's confession is not at all the subtle and euphemistic literary style of the Great Wilderness, but is full of the straightforwardness of modern people in the past life.
But Zhao Yan eats this straightforward set.
She put her arms around his neck and gave him an affirmative answer with an enthusiastic kiss.
Under the long crow's feather-colored hair, the snow-white skin on her neck was bathed in golden sunlight, as if dyed with a layer of sweet honey.
"Let's live together for the rest of our lives," she murmured softly, her hands tightened tighter and tighter, as if she was afraid that Gu Xu would escape from her arms, "You have to talk ...... count."
"Hmm." Gu Xu hugged her and gently stroked the beautiful curves of her back.
The two lingered in the corner for a long time.
Then Zhao Yan walked into the stable and pulled the horse "Da Hong" out.
She leaped lightly and jumped on horseback.
The crimson dress fluttered in the wind, like a burning flame.
"Come on!" She grabbed the reins with one hand and stretched out to Gu Xu with the other, "Today you sit in front, and I will teach you to ride a horse." ”
This review is no longer polite.
He grabbed her white hand and climbed onto the horse.
Zhao Yan handed him the reins, rested her chin on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "The reins are the most effective means of controlling horses, you have to hold them tightly with both hands, and you can't let go at any time."
"When walking slowly, you can straighten up and sit in the saddle.
"But if you want to run fast, you have to clamp your knees firmly on the horse's back, lean forward, and keep your hips in touch with the saddle, up and down with the rhythm of the horse's movement......
"You're a beginner, let's take our time first......"
Her lips were close to his ears, and the breath of Rulan lingered in his ears, tickling, making his heart beat slightly.
However, at this moment, "Big Red" suddenly spread his hooves and galloped forward like an arrow from a string.
Zhao Yan was shocked.
She thought that this beast had suddenly gone crazy, so she reflexively snatched the reins from Gu Xu's hand, trying to make it stop, so as not to hurt Gu Xu, a novice.
But soon she was surprised to find that in such a situation, Gu Xu was not only unflustered, calm like a battle-hardened old rider, but even closed his eyes slightly, as if he was quite enjoying this tense and exciting feeling.
I saw "Big Red" running in the streets and alleys of Jicheng.
It seems to have been enlightened, bypassing crowds, avoiding shops, crossing ditches, and crossing bridges, as dexterous and light as a swallow.
Due to Gu Xu's secret use of cause and effect spells, the passers-by around them ignored their existence - even though the two of them were extraordinary and behaved flamboyantly, others regarded them as nothing.
Zhao Yan felt more and more incredible.
She knew that Big Red was a wild horse with a reputation for being unruly - and it took a lot of effort for her to tame it.
I didn't expect it to obey the command of Gu Xu, a novice rider, so much!
She hugged Gu Xu's waist with a pair of white arms, and the whole person was next to his back, and said in a soft voice: "Is Shizun quietly cheating with spells?" ”
Gu Xu felt the cloud-like softness behind him, and responded with a smile: "Guess what? ”
“……”
There is no doubt that Gu Xu is taking advantage of this opportunity to test his newly mastered "domination" authority.
The remnant soul of Emperor Ziwei claims that this authority can manipulate people's hearts.
But Gu Xu has always been cautious about this authority, and he will not exercise it easily, let alone abuse it on his own people like Emperor Ziwei.
The authority of "domination" made Emperor Ziwei have the arrogance of treating others as pawns in his heart, and always thought that "everything is under control".
And this is also the key factor in his defeat to Taishang Haotian and finally planted in Gu Xu's hands.
Of course, caution does not mean that it is completely unused.
Gu Xu believes that he still has the necessary proficiency in the "domination" authority - perhaps in the future, when dealing with the enemy, it will become a hole card that will turn the tide.
"Big Red" became his first "guinea pig".
Gu Xu clearly felt that he and the soul of "Big Red" were connected by an invisible thread - he could use this thread to control all its actions like manipulating a remote control.
But "domination" can be used for much more than that.
There is still great potential for this authority to be tapped.
When the military camp on the outskirts of the city appeared in the field of vision of the two, Gu Xu withdrew from the "dominance".
The freed "Big Red" braked suddenly, and its two front hooves rose in the air.
Gu Xu didn't sit still for a while, and almost slipped off the horse.
Fortunately, Zhao Yan behind him reached out to support him.
"Master, this is your true level of horsemanship, right?" She hid her face with one hand and chuckled playfully.
…………
Zhao Yan tied Da Hong to a tree, and then led Gu Xu into the barracks on foot.
The two did not make a public announcement.
With the help of the art of cause and effect, they disguised themselves as two ordinary soldiers.
Even if they have an unusual identity and an appearance that stands out from the crowd, the people around them don't look at them at all, and they are all busy with their own business.
There was even a soldier who came up drunk and played a vulgar joke with them.
The Dayan military camp order prohibits the consumption of alcohol.
This man must have secretly gone out and indulged.
Zhao Yan frowned, secretly remembered this person's appearance in his mind, and thought: You won't be here to report tomorrow.
