Chapter 199: The Enemy Army Is Coming
Chiyan was also born very tall and ran fast, but with Lu Jiuyuan with her, she was not afraid at all.
Now let her ride alone, she wouldn't dare.
As if seeing her fear, Wu Ze soothed: "Madame, don't worry, this subordinate horse, although it is not as good as the master's Chiyan, is very tame, Madame, don't worry, the subordinate will hold the reins for you." ”
"You're going to be allowed to walk, then?" Tao Yao was a little reluctant.
"What's wrong with the subordinates walking? The subordinates have good foot strength, no matter how far the road is, they have walked it, and the lady does not have to worry about the subordinates, the subordinates are good. Uze said with a big grin.
Tao Yao saw that it was not early, so it was difficult to refuse, and with the help of Wu Ze, he got on the horse.
After riding on the horse, she found that it didn't seem to be so difficult, and when she saw Uze holding the reins and walking ahead, she was not so afraid.
Presumably to distract her, Uze talked to her about the essentials of horseback riding.
Tao Yao also happened to want to learn to ride a horse, so he listened carefully.
Uze turned his head and proposed, "Madame, do you want to try to learn to ride?" ”
Tao Yao had this intention and nodded happily, "Okay, but you have to watch me a little, I'm afraid of being thrown off by the horse." ”
"Normally, the horse will not dump you, but you have to relax and not be too nervous, otherwise the horse will feel your emotions and become irritable." Uze Road.
"Okay." Tao Yao took a deep breath and stretched out his hand, "You give me the reins." ”
Wu Ze hurriedly handed her the reins, and then after instructing her a few words, he encouraged: "Madame can ride with confidence, and his subordinates will follow behind." ”
"Okay." Tao Yao nodded, then tried to clamp the horse's belly and drove the horse forward.
At first, the horse didn't listen to her, but after a few attempts, the horse finally moved on.
Tao Yao was overjoyed and more confident.
At first, she rode very slowly, but by the time she got to the back, she was able to ride her horse and trot for a while.
"Madame is really smart, a little bit can be understood, isn't this learned?" When Wu Ze caught up, it was a compliment.
Tao Yao was a little embarrassed to hear it, "The main thing is that the Wuze guards guide well, thank you." ”
Now, it was Wu Ze's turn to be embarrassed, "The subordinate just mentioned a few words casually, it was the lady herself who was smart and quick to comprehend." ”
That being said, he was still a little proud in his heart.
Madame's horsemanship, but he taught it, and he wanted to go to the master to ask for credit.
Tao Yao didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart, after mastering the essentials of horseback riding at this time, she was no longer afraid of this high-headed horse.
She tried to pick up the speed.
After running for a while, she remembered that Uze was on foot, and that she might have been left behind at this point.
Thinking about it, she was a little ashamed that she had forgotten about Uze.
But when she turned her head to look for Uze, she saw him following in unison.
She was stunned for a moment and praised: "Wu Ze, you are really fast. ”
"Fast? But it is not half as fast as the master. Uze shook his head.
"Is Lu Jiuyuan running fast?" Tao Yao asked curiously, she hadn't seen Lu Jiuyuan running.
"Run?" Wu Ze was stunned, and immediately scratched his head, "At this time, we usually perform light skills. ”
"Light work?" Tao Yao's eyes widened, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"Why doesn't it exist?" Uze asked in surprise.
Tao Yao: "......"
Okay, when she thought she had learned to ride a horse and was complacent, in fact, people had already learned light skills, and they could perform light skills instead of walking and riding.
Sure enough, she was left behind.
However, she was really a little skeptical of what Uze said.
After all, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes just now.
Does such a mysterious thing really exist?
Thinking about it, she proposed: "Wu Ze, how about you perform light skills and try to ride a horse with me?" ”
Uze looked at her in amazement.
Madame has just learned to ride a horse, so she wants to compete with him?
This desire to win is too strong, right?
However, the other party was a lady, and he was not in the world, so he said euphemistically: "The lady has just learned to ride a horse, do you want to practice a little more?" ”
"It's okay, I'll compete with you, it's also practice, it's a big deal, I'll ride a little slower." Tao Yao said.
Uze: "......"
"Do you have any scruples?" Tao Yao asked.
Uze has a lot of scruples.
The master handed over his wife to him, and if something happened to his wife, he was afraid that he would skin him.
He really didn't want to take any chances.
"Madam, it's late today, let's compare tomorrow."
Hearing this, Tao Yao nodded, "It's okay." ”
Uze was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard his wife's shout, he suddenly drove away on his horse.
Uze: "......"
Reacting, he lifted his breath and chased after him.
Tao Yao didn't ride very fast.
She knew that she had only learned to ride a horse, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control the horse if she rode it too fast.
She mainly wanted to see Uze's light work.
She glanced back, and almost dropped her jaw when she saw that Uze really used light skills to catch up.
This is the legendary light work?
She almost bleed.
After entering the city, Tao Yao asked, "Wu Ze, when will your master return home?" ”
Uze shook his head, "The subordinates don't know. However, according to the news that the scout came back, the Khitan will move in the near future, I am afraid that there will be a war, and the master will return to the camp to discuss tactics with the generals, and I am afraid that it will not end so soon. ”
Hearing this, Tao Yao nodded, and didn't ask any more.
Sure enough, that night, Lu Jiuyuan did not come back.
The next day, Tao Yao asked Tian Bo to help her find a horse, she was going to go out of the city to practice, but she heard that the city gate was closed and she couldn't get out.
"It looks like the Khitan is coming again." Tian Bo looked at the gloomy sky and sighed.
Tao Yao also sighed.
Unexpectedly, the Khitan prince was in their hands, and the Khitan side still insisted on fighting.
But looking at the weather, it seems that another snow is coming.
She dismissed the idea of practicing horseback riding and went home with Xi'er.
In the next few days, Lu Jiuyuan didn't come back, and the weather was getting colder and colder, Tao Yao and Xi'er stayed in the house all day and didn't go anywhere.
Late one night, Tao Yao was asleep when he heard the sound of the horn and sat up from the bed in shock.
Xi'er, who was sleeping outside, obviously heard it too, and walked in with a lampstand, and said with a little pale face: "Miss, the enemy seems to be attacking." ”
Tao Yao pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, there is a national prince." Then he lifted the quilt and let her come up and sleep together.
But neither of them felt sleepy, and lay on the bed, listening to the movement outside.
Tao Yao, who lived in peacetime, never imagined that one day, war would be so close to her.
"Miss, what should we do if the enemy army invades the city?" Xi'er suddenly whispered.
"It's not going to happen." Tao Yao said in a firm tone, but put the dagger that Lu Jiuyuan gave her a few days ago under the pillow into her sleeve.
