I don't know which philosopher once said that all things that are attributed to high-level sports are the toss of the rich who ask for their own hardships.

Horseback riding is one of them.

For herders, horses are tools, a part of their lives, and even their lives. Stepping on horseback, there is a burning confidence and courage flowing in the blood, as if everywhere you look, you have it.

But for the farming people, the experience of horseback riding is not so good. Especially for people who are still terrible at riding, that's another story.

For example, Li Kui.

Halfway to Linyi City, he was sweating all over his head, and threatened the mount that Han Dahu lent him with his eyes. The old horse knew the way, and knew the danger even more, so he lowered his eyebrows and pulled his hooves back vigorously.

Li Kui panted and said in annoyance: "You, did you deliberately make it bad?" How is it possible to ride a horse more tiring than to run? ”

"A big fist, you think it's an ornament?"

"Believe it or not, the second master beat you!"

The old horse snorted, silently bearing Li Kui's groundless accusations and threats against him.

After only riding on the horse for half a day, Li Kui felt that he might not be able to bear this sin. The Great Song Dynasty had a Takahashi saddle and a stirrup. It stands to reason that riding a horse is much easier than before, at least not without the hassle of holding the horse's back between your legs. But what he didn't expect was to suffer like this, with the saddle attached, right? After a long time, I can't stand it; But let's squat with my feet on the stirrups, and my legs will be numb after a long time.

And Li Kui squatted for half a day, and he could make people squat until he got out of strength for a moment or two in the thatched house, and he doubted life from then on, let alone half a day?

Especially in an undulating environment on horseback.

He was even more tired with a long knife on his back.

Of course, one has to ask, why not carry the long knife on the horse?

Because it's dangerous.

Li Kui is a master who is still a life-sparing, and he has heard a true story: there was once a general who returned to his hometown after retiring from the battlefield, riding a big horse and carrying a long knife, so he was not mighty. Once, he traveled in disguise as usual, and halfway through, the war horse was startled, and the knife handle slammed on the door of life that should not be knocked, and he smashed an egg on the spot, which became a widely circulated good story.

Li Kui didn't want to become famous because of this kind of pickled matter.

For the sake of his reputation, it would be more appropriate for him to carry a long knife on his back.

In a fit of rage, Li Kui took the reins of the old horse in his hand and strode away. The old horse was very puzzled at first, the two-legged beast in front of him was very strange, and it didn't matter if he was not honest on its back, and he jumped down angrily and lost his temper with it. After losing your temper, you pull it and run?

Horses can live for thirty years from birth, and they have a lot of experience, and they probably have never encountered such a strange person in their lives.

But Li Kui didn't care, he ran faster and faster, but the itinerary was not delayed because he walked. The original plan was to rush to Linyi within a day, and it seemed that Linyi City could be rushed before dark.

Li Kui is not worried that the city gate will be closed, the Great Song Dynasty has not fought for a long time, except for the military town of Biansai, other cities basically do not close the city gate at night. This is also why as long as there is a civil uprising in the Great Song Dynasty, it is easy to conquer the city, and even some big cities are conquered overnight. I thought that in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, the rebels didn't even need to prepare for the siege, as long as they rushed into the city with their heads covered at night.

In terms of time, Li Kui does not need to be in a hurry.

Sooner or later, he would be able to enter the city.

But after eating the loess all the way, he was sweating all the way, and the skin on his face felt like an extra layer of sticky, and he said that he didn't want to spend a night in the wild.

After entering the city, find an inn, take a good bath, and change your clothes......

Straight sissy thief –

Li Kui thought of this, and scolded again. He forgot to pick up a change of clothes and had to go to the ready-to-wear shop to sell a new one. The old horse following him pricked up his ears and took small steps as if he was facing a great enemy, following closely behind, fearing that Li Kui would be angry with him again.

It's a horse, alas, and it doesn't even have the ability to talk back, it's too aggrieved.

This run, he ran from noon to dusk.

However, he did not feel tired at all, but his spirit was getting better and better. People who practice martial arts practice the most important thing on weekdays, and will is the most important part of it.

Xu is approaching the city gate, and there are gradually more pedestrians, cars and horses on the road, unlike before, the official road is just a fool for him.

Crossing a slow convoy, the people in the car saw him leading the horse and running stupidly, laughing and ridiculing him, listening to a woman's voice, quite crisp, but too nosy: "Idiot, I'm afraid your horse was stolen, right?" Why not ride it? ”

Li Kui was angry when he heard this! If he had a way, how could he take the reins all the way from the Yishui border to Linyi City?

He turned around angrily and said, "What do you care about me?" ”

Where is Li Kui a master who is willing to suffer, and immediately returned and said: "I don't look at your appearance, a woman's house, wearing men's clothes, this is called Ji Si Chen, do you understand?" ”

"A woman should be at home with her husband and children, and dare to laugh at others when she goes out to show her face, but do you know what a tutor is?"

The woman's eyes in the car were burning angrily, but when she saw the long knife on Li Kui's back and the package hanging around her neck, she could lose half of her anger. This guy is stupid and reckless, and he has an unforgiving mouth: "Don't admit that you are stupid, the horse you are leading is empty, can't you hang knives and boxes?" ”

Li Kuixin said: There are so many people on the road, what can you do with me?

Have the ability to catch the government's carriage and horses!

Besides, horses aren't worth a knife yet? If he fell upside down on the horse and lost it, he couldn't stop crying. The box was because I forgot to hang the horse on my back when I dismounted, and it didn't sink anyway.

Quarrel with a woman, lose points if you win, and lose even more shame if you lose.

"Momiji, be careful." A neutral voice came from the carriage, a little sharp, with a somewhat magnetic voice, which sounded quite kind.

Li Kui said casually: "That's right, aunt, it's better to take care of your maids, right?" ”

But what made him wonder was a cold snort coming from inside the carriage. Li Kuixin said that the strange family, the master is no longer serving.

Li Kui strode up, and one person and one horse crossed the slow-moving carriage. ran away from the distance, only to turn around and shout: "The man who can't get married!" ”

The woman named Momiji in the angry car wanted to scold in the wind, and she was worried that the owner of the car would be angry.

Approaching the city gate, Li Kui breathed a sigh of relief, climbed on the horse's back, and slowly looked at the horse as if he was a veteran. Sang Hongye drove slowly closer, looked at Li Kui's appearance, and said sarcastically: "You run faster with a horse on your back!" ”

Li Kui raised his head and ignored people.

Approaching the door, pedestrians can be exempted from inspection, but horses and vehicles need to be inspected by tax collectors, Momiji whispered to the people in the car: "Ah Weng, let's use tokens, right?" ”

"If you don't report it, you have already violated the rules, and you can't make a mistake and ignore the rules again and again, and get out of the car to be inspected." Momiji pouted helplessly, so he had to jump out of the car and lead the horse close to the city gate to wait for the inspection. And the owner of the car also got out of the car, tall, burly, with a very white face and a thick beard, this scene made Li Kui embarrassed, and he seemed to call him just now - Auntie.

This is considered a personal attack, right?

Everyone was queuing, Li Kui touched the back of his head and was embarrassed, bowed down to the man and said, "What's that, uncle, I offended just now." The kid misheard. ”

The man didn't expect Li Kui to admit his mistake, the arrogant half-sized man in front of him, his complexion was a little dark, and he was afraid that he was an idle master. The long knife on his back is an antiquity, don't look at the simple appearance, but it is mostly valuable. In particular, the horse that followed behind him, although it was a variegated old horse, was undoubtedly from the army. In terms of passing kung fu, the man knew something about Li Kui.

Bang Bang Bang, three conclusions were drawn.

Disciple of the gate.

Ground head snake.

Messy boy, but saved.

Since Li Kui knew the courtesy, the man's face was also a little pale, and he bowed his head and said: "Don't get in the way, the old man is Tongguan, not the kind of person with a small belly." ”

"You're Tong Guan!"

Li Kui almost jumped up when he heard this, how could he have imagined that he would meet Tong Guan in Linyi City?

Tong Guan's face changed slightly, he left the palace in secret, not many people knew, he was frightened by Li Kui's shouting, and he thought that Li Kui was approaching him with good intentions, and put on a defensive posture. But he was relieved again, looking at the tax collectors who entered the city to inspect and the crowded pedestrians around him, he felt that Li Kui had no bad motives. If it is really the opponent, it must be indispensable to fight and kill, and at the gate of the city, the venue is cramped, and there are many people, how can he choose to ambush him in this place?

However, Tong Guan also felt puzzled, he had not left the palace for nearly ten years, and no one should know him outside! Curious, he stared at Li Kui and asked, "Do you know the old man?" ”

"I don't know!" Li Kui's return was so refreshing that he almost flashed Tong Guan's old waist.
