Chapter 70: Love horses and become obsessed with Zhao Boyan

Knock knock knock

Before the war drums, Ma Kuo was standing at the top of the city tower and looking out from the railing. Dozens of miles away, under a green cloud, stood a strict demon beast army array. The bloody and murderous aura makes people's hearts chill even if they are far away, like a famous knife accustomed to life and death sleeping quietly in its sheath, not knowing when it will wake up and stab you in the fragile heart.

Such a battle is far from being comparable to the white horse demon group that migrated along the Qingjiang River in previous years. Steady as Ma Kuo, I can't help but feel cold in my heart. thought that Zique would come in person, but he had already persuaded himself to let go of his worries about life and death. But now the four saints have not yet shown their skills, and the subordinates alone are as unstoppable as black clouds crushing the city, shocking him into a cold sweat.

He looked at the soldiers on the left and right, and many of them's chests couldn't stop rising and falling, and the spears in their hands began to be crooked. Before the first battle, Qingjiang has been floating in the hearts of the army, if it really fights, this battle is afraid of nine deaths. At this time, the rangers came to report: the enemy stopped fifty miles to the south, and camped with their backs to the milk tiger forest.

Ma Kuo secretly smiled bitterly: If the army of the demon clan is pressed, Qingjiang will be doomed this time, I really don't know if the pseudo-tiger is willing to exchange Li Wuxiong's life for the safety of 100,000 people in Qingjiang

The 500 elite soldiers lurking in the forest also detected the demons coming from the mountains and seas. Zhao Boyan remembered Ma Kuo's secret order, so he wanted to use this excuse to move his cronies to the forest for temporary refuge. Sure enough, the left army controlled by Ma Shi said that they would take refuge in the forest for another fifty miles, and even retreated to the valley that General Ma said to avoid the limelight. Li Wuxiong didn't say a word, but immediately beheaded two soldiers in front of the battle, and scolded: Those who disturb the hearts of our army will not be forgiven! We are waiting for our sons to come to assist the military aircraft, and if we retreat into the depths of the forest, we will not be able to echo the Qingjiang defenders, and the guards will not be able to stop the attack of the demon beasts. These two people are only willing to risk their own lives, abandon the ancestors to kill demons, and the safety of 100,000 people in Qingjiang is in danger, and I have punished them. There are also people who talk nonsense to avoid trouble, and the end should be the same!

The people stood upright and did not dare to have any more objections. Five hundred people scattered into a one-mile-square cordon, each hiding himself. This can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army. There were many shadows of Zhao Boyan among the previous petitioners, and without thinking about it, they must have been instigated by him. Li Wuxiong is such a person who loves and hates clearly, although he can't kill Zhao Boyan Liwei, but he doesn't want him to feel better, so he sent Zhao Boyan to drive dozens of pack horses into the forest, so as not to surprise the horses and expose their whereabouts.

Zhao Boyan really didn't expect Li Wuxiong, a young man, to have such a decision, so he could only honestly admit it and lead the horses to leave the formation alone. At this point, among the left army, Zeng dared to lose his fighting spirit, Han Laoqi was immature, and Zhao Boyan, the only trustworthy general, was also dropped out of the army under the pretext; Ma Qing immediately lost the confidence to compete with Li Wuxiong.

Before Zhao Boyan left, Ma Qing went to send it. Ma Qing said sincerely: When leaving Qingjiang, the town guard repeatedly explained that if there was any indecision in the army, he would need to rely on the adults, but he didn't expect that the Li family was hateful, and he actually let the general do the work of this coachman and horse herd.

Zhao Boyan didn't mind, and said: The little general is relieved, I took this errand just to calm Li Wuxiong's heart. If I had been in the army all along, Li Wuxiong would definitely not be at ease with the left army, and if I deliberately put on small shoes when I went into battle, it would be a big disaster for you and me. Ma Zhenshou was concerned about the safety of the little general, so he secretly sent a lot of descendants to help you, and the army was forcibly dismantled into two parts. It's just that I didn't expect that Li Wuxiong had no experience in governing the army, but his temperament was so strong and fierce, if the left army did not show weakness, Li Wuxiong would never give up.

Ma Qing asked: Then how do I act, Captain Zhao taught me.

Although Zhao Boyan's military rank was higher than that of Ma Qing, his military rank was lower than that of Ma Qing, and he did not dare to hold his head up, but still said respectfully: Li Wuxiong is the orthodox of the first army, and the little general needs to be cautious and humble in everything he does. When he no longer has doubts, it is time for the little general to take care of the matter, and whether or not he can borrow the hand of the white horse, Li Wuxiong's head must remain outside the city.

Ma Qing was shocked, it turned out that whether the pseudo-tiger wanted a tiger bone or not was still secondary, and the second uncle had already made up his mind to kill him when he transferred Li Wuxiong out of the city. Zhao Boyan believed that Ma Qing was a smart person, so he didn't say much more details, and led the horse alone and left the formation.

This time, the camels carrying grain and grass were all old war horses, and they would not panic even in front of the two armies, and the path in the forest was of course steady. Zhao Boyan did not ride, but accompanied the old horse. He held the reins of his horse in his hand and said to himself: I am really wronged by you, a good horse cannot gallop on the battlefield, and it will be uncomfortable to walk on such a dark path, even if you walk steadily.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing if he was saying this to the horses or a reflection of his own heart.

Zhao Boyan has been walking for more than two days, and the sun in the forest is not abundant, but it has completely darkened at this time. He looked around, there was a small stream next to it, and there were plenty of water and grass, so he rested on the spot. These old war horses didn't need to be tethered at all, he shouted softly, "Huh~", and the old horses stopped together, drank water and chewed some forage on the spot. The leading yellow hussar was carrying a small backpack. Zhao Boyan took out a horse comb from it, moistened it with water, and combed the fur of the war horse. The yellow horse's ears were erected high, and he shook his shoulders and back, and seemed to be in a good mood. Zhao Boyan touched the horse's neck and carefully observed it, the yellow horse is tall and has long legs, tight muscles and flesh but does not highlight the shape of the line, and it is an excellent war horse at a glance. Knightly expeditions, at least one man and three horses. A pack horse, a walking horse, a war horse. Pack horses are not willing to ride in peacetime, and are only used when charging in wartime, so the best war horses are as strong and tall as yellow horses, and walking horses are in between.

The old yellow horse seemed to have not been taken care of so thoroughly for a long time, and gently rubbed Zhao Boyan's hand. Suddenly, a silver ball of light burst out from the gap between the two trees, and the old horses raised their heads and neighed in their directions.

Zhao Boyan also followed the direction of the horses to look, and recognized at a glance that this light cluster was Yinyuan. It was barebackless and unsheathed, and its fur glowed silver in the dark night, making it easy to recognize. Yinyuan yelled at the old horses a few times, and the horses fell silent. Yinyuan slipped leisurely in front of Zhao Boyan, and the yellow horse immediately retreated timidly, avoiding a few feet away. Yinyu was even three or four feet taller than the yellow horse, and snorted twice at Zhao Boyan with his head tilted.

Zhao Boyan didn't know where this was Yinyuan, so he had to rub his back for it. This beast is used to enjoying it in the army, and Ma Taxue is too spoiled to spoil it, and he takes care of all his diet and daily life, and his treatment is simply better than that of a general. Ma Taxue often said that you and I are just generals and captains in one city and one place, but Yinyuan is the king of horses in the world, and it is already a grievance to treat it with the courtesy of a general. Therefore, Yinyuan has always been rampant and domineering in the army, and he will be called by anyone he catches. It stands to reason that a beast is just a beast, can't you hide if you can't provoke it, can't you just pretend that you don't understand its meaning? But Yinyuan is extremely popular, not only can understand people's words, but also the emotions it releases can even be easily understood by people, so being entangled by it cannot be avoided or provoked, and it cannot be provoked. In the early years, when Ma Qing was a bear child, they were collectively called the "two ghosts in the army", which was simply feared by everyone. But now that Ma Qing is nineteen years old after all, Ma Kuo and the big men in the army no longer spoil him as a child, and only one of the old and arrogant is left.

Here it went out of the city with the army, and could only eat some dry grass and stagnant water. After not staying for a day, Yinyuan sneaked out and looked for some mountain delicacies and fruit belly by himself. Ma Qing also wanted to keep it in the formation, but he didn't dare to tie it, and he couldn't surround it, so he could only let it go. Somehow, it jumped to Zhao Boyan's place.

Zhao Boyan was born as a ranger, and he has an instinctive spoiling for good horses, not to mention such a horse king who has nothing in the sky and on the earth. He picked out the foreign object between the horse's comb, and then slowly combed the silver hair. The pitch-black iron comb roamed the back of the silver curl, and with each passing it, the long, fine hairs straightened softly and then curled up slightly. Zhao Boyan couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and couldn't help but think of a rumor in the army.

There is a saying in the Book of Horses: 騕 (the same as "to") 褭 (the same as "袅"), the name of the horse is also, and it travels thousands of miles a day. But there are also masters of Soma who commented on this passage and added: Blood is different. It is implied that the king of these two horses is a different species, resembling a horse rather than a horse.

The silver is called "Yinyuan", and the army also says that Yinyuan is not a horse, but a branch of the demon beast. In fact, the silver jacket is indeed different from the horses in common sense, the body is unusually tall, the fur is pale silver, and can even understand human language, and most importantly, almost all the sergeants and soldiers have suffered from it. Of course, most of the people in power in the army are the same horse idiots as Zhao Boyan, how can they take this kind of rumors seriously, but think that these rumors are evidence of outstanding silver.

Uncle Zhao couldn't help but praise: If you really treat you with the courtesy of a general, I have wronged you.

Hearing this, Yin Yuan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Boyan, and then ignored it, obviously it was used to hearing praise and didn't take it very seriously. After enjoying it for a while, Silver Flicked its tail and swaggered away again. Zhao Boyan had a military order, so he could only watch Yinyuan leave.

After walking a mile or two, the ears that Yinyuan had been holding together suddenly stood high, as if he heard something in the grass in front of him. It curiously drilled in, and a strange shadow slowly converged in front of it, piecing together a human figure. Yinyu looked at it for a moment, and suddenly realized the origin of the person in front of him, and as soon as his hooves were clamped/tightened, he immediately jumped out of the grass, turned his head and fled as if he was dead.

In the black shadow of the humanoid, a pair of yellow and green eyes suddenly opened, shooting out two rays of light.
