Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Imperial Ride on Six Horses

Xiaobai didn't expect Lu Zheng to make such a move, and vaguely understood what Lu Zheng meant, and immediately raised his head and hissed, happily rubbing his neck back and forth on Lu Zheng's face, no longer looking dejected. When the black horse saw this, he let out a low cry and never made a sound again.

Li Yi stretched out his hand and patted the back of the black horse, and said meaningfully: "Without a saddle, although no one controls you and you are free, you can't tell where is your direction." After saying that, with a wave of his sleeves, a strange thing appeared in the school field.

It was two large wooden wheels with a wooden trough with a long curved log sticking out of the middle of the trough, and at the top of the log was a crossbar with two bends, like ox horns, and two sets of horse harnesses were tied to the bent crossbar.

Li Yi let the two horses drive over together, although Xiaobai and the black horse were both horse kings, how dare they disobey Li Yi's order, obediently walked over and stood side by side. Li Yi also commanded Lu Zheng to put the curved horizontal log on the backs of the two horses, and tied the horse sleeves to the two horses.

It turned out to be a two-horse carriage!

Li Yi said: "Lu Zheng, get in the car, hold on to the reins!"

Lu Zheng obeyed the teacher's instructions, climbed up the carriage station to the wooden trough, and grabbed the reins of the two horses. Then I heard the teacher say, "The second lesson of the imperial rite is to drive." "It turns out that this is the second lesson of the imperial ceremony, and the teacher didn't even say hello in advance!

After Li Yi finished speaking, he took out a whip out of nowhere and hit it in the air, two whips rang out out of thin air, Xiaobai and the black horse immediately ran forward, and the carriage flew away. Lu Zheng couldn't react, his body leaned back, he was almost thrown down, and he quickly grabbed the reins!

The two horses were so fast that the carriage dragged behind them was tossed up and down like a leaf in the wind. What's more, there is nothing to support on the wooden trough, Lu Zheng hurriedly squatted down, grabbed the wooden board with both hands, and put his feet on the wooden trough, even so, the whole body was bounced up from time to time, and a heart pounded against his chest, as if he was about to jump out

The black horse and Xiao Bai originally did not deal with each other, ran a distance, and became more energetic, Xiao Bai obediently went forward, but the black horse was going east for a while, and west for a while, how to make trouble! Xiao Bai was desperately pulling the carriage back on track, but the two horses were locked on a log, so that the carriage that was pulling was also vibrating even more, and it was almost about to fall apart.

With an exclamation, Lu Zheng was finally thrown out by the bumpy carriage, fell directly to the ground, and rolled several times before stopping!

Fortunately, the school was touched by the teacher, and it was not painful to fall on the ground. Lu Zheng got up and looked at the carriage that was being carried by Xiaobai and the black horse with a swing left and right, and couldn't help but shudder, and said hatefully: "This damn black horse, it's really disobedient!"

Seeing that Lu Zheng was thrown out of the car, Li Yi walked over and said, "The requirement for this second lesson is very simple, that is, to drive this carriage and let it move forward smoothly and steadily. You've already gone up and been thrown down, do you have any idea of what to do now?"

Lu Zheng said with a bitter face: "Teacher, can the student tame that little black first, and then let it drive!" He naturally called that black horse Xiao Hei.

Li Yi said very simply: "Of course not!"

Lu Zheng understood that the teacher was looking for a dark horse that didn't deal with Xiaobai and came back, and he even let them fight, it seemed that he was deliberately adding some difficulty to the second lesson of this imperial ceremony, so he had to say: "That student has no way now!"

Li Yi said: "One is going to the east, the other is going to the west, and you want to go forward, you can look at it!" After speaking, he handed Lu Zheng the same thing, turned around and left.

Lu Zheng took it and looked at it, but it was a white soft whip! Could it be that the teacher wanted to use this whip to discipline the black horse himself?

In the following days, Lu Zheng was consumed with this carriage, of course, in the first few days, there was no accident that he always heard a scream, and then Lu Zheng was thrown out of the carriage. After falling too many times, he occasionally couldn't help but complain, depressed thinking that the teacher Weishenme wanted to learn archery and horseback riding by himself, and let himself learn to drive after learning to ride a horse, and not let himself tame Xiao Hei first.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei are really as bad as their colors and names, especially Xiao Hei. In Lu Zheng's view, the main thing about Xiao Hei's name is that it is too black in heart, and likes to do everything against Xiao Bai, such as when turning a corner, Xiao Bai wants to go left, it will go to the right, and when moving forward, Xiao Bai wants to accelerate, and it will slow down, so that Lu Zheng will naturally suffer, for which Xiao Hei can eat a lot of Lu Zheng's whip.

When he first started driving, Lu Zheng thought that with the soft whip in his hand, he should be able to get Xiao Hei quickly, but he didn't expect that the biggest problem was that he could stand on the carriage safely.

In that bumpy carriage, even if there is no little black trouble, it is not so easy to stand. This is different from standing on the ground, the constantly vibrating wooden planks can easily make people lose their center of gravity, plus the carriage sways from side to side, and there is nothing around to help, and then it falls off the carriage without incident!

Later, Lu Zheng found that if he wanted to stand firm on the bumpy carriage, he had to relax his whole body, and he must not resist the vibration force of the carriage, but should go up and down with it, otherwise once the force of mutual repulsion occurs, it will inevitably lead to unstable standing.

When he was learning to shoot the salute, Mr. Le once reminded himself that he was like playing the piano, and he had to clearly understand the characteristics of the things he was facing. How did you forget about it when you got to this carriage?

In this way, with Lu Zheng's continuous efforts, it took about seven days for him to gradually stand firmly on this carriage, and after half a month, it was basically the same as on flat ground. No matter how bumpy the carriage was, he stood firmly on it.

Now that he has a firm foothold on the carriage, Lu Zheng can slowly use the reins in his hand and the whip given by the teacher to train Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, and let them let the carriage move forward or turn according to the direction and speed he requires.

Before that, Lu Zheng spent two days practicing whip throwing on flat ground. Because when he threw the whip for the first time, he originally wanted to whip Xiao Hei who ran around, but he didn't expect that this whip didn't know what it was made of, and it was soft and weak, Lu Zheng blindly used brute force to throw it, and he never threw it in place, and the result was often drawn to the innocent Xiaobai.

In this way, Lu Zheng simply stopped the practice carriage first and concentrated on practicing whipping. After practicing for a long time, I realized that I was too hard, and this whip was the same as playing the piano and plucking the strings, and it needed to be rigid and soft, so that the whip could be fingered and beaten as you liked.

Although he learned to whip, at the beginning, not to mention Xiaobai, even Xiaohei Lu Zheng was reluctant to whip. Every time Xiao Hei starts to make trouble, he whips it lightly, it's not enough to tickle Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei naturally ignores it, and still does his own thing, this black horse's anger seems to be greater than Xiao Bai!

Slowly, Lu Zheng also relented, as long as Xiao Hei showed signs of trouble, the whip in his hand would be thrown out fiercely, and it was a dazzling blood mark on Xiao Hei's body. Every time it comes to this time, Lu Zheng can't help but mumble to Xiao Hei: "What a guy who doesn't fight and doesn't have fun!"

For Xiaobai, Lu Zheng was naturally reluctant to whip it, and Xiaobai was already very obedient to him. However, sometimes Xiao Hei will not only make trouble by himself, but also provoke Xiao Bai, bump his head from time to time, or stretch out his legs and kick him. Xiao Bai was still a little tolerant at first, but he was angry with Xiao Hei, and he didn't care about pulling the cart and ran over to fight with Xiao Hei. In this way, Lu Zheng also had to give it a whip.

However, under the unremitting wielding of Lu Zheng's whip, Xiao Hei finally became honest, and it was only after seeing Lu Zheng's whip that he restrained a little from the beginning, and slowly he no longer dared to mess around casually. Finally, under the command of Lu Zheng, the carriage became more and more stable, and basically advanced and retreated freely, fast and slow.

Lu Zheng also ran with his heart a few times, although Xiao Hei didn't mess around a few times, Lu Zheng still shouted back and forth very mightily, and the little whip was waved very chicly, which made his heart praise for a while, and Lu Zheng was happy in his heart.

But this matter is not over, Lu Zheng has just driven the carriage in a good way, Li Yi brought two yellow horses and a brown horse, these three horses are not horse kings, they are ordinary horses, and one of the yellow horses is still a mare, and the brown horse is a very weak old horse.

Li Yi replaced the carriage with a larger one, and then changed from a single wheel to a double wheel, and put all four horses in the carriage, but replaced Xiaobai.

Originally, Xiaobai was replaced without having to be put on the carriage, but Lu Zheng was still very happy. But as soon as he got in the car, he found that something was wrong, although Xiao Hei was naughty before, at least Xiao Bai listened to his words, and he could use Xiao Bai as a reference, so as to control Xiao Hei's direction.

But now it's good, as the three horses come up, the four horses are killed and do not cooperate with each other, sometimes two to the left, one to the right, sometimes one to the left, two to the right, and more often the three horses each in three directions. They are all free and comfortable, and they are willing to follow Lu Zheng's discipline.

Misfortune is not a one-way street, Xiao Hei did not recognize Lu Zheng as the master after all, but just succumbed to the whip in Lu Zheng's hand for a while, and under the noise of the three horses, he began to mistreat again. Like Xiaobai, it is the king of horses in heaven and earth, and it disdains to be in a carriage with other horses, and currently bullies other horses, especially Xiao Hei is also a stallion, and sometimes he keeps harassing the sheriff.

Lu Zheng held a whip in his hand, in addition to controlling the direction and speed of each horse, he had to whip Xiao Hei for a while, not letting him bite the old horse next to him, and then he had to whip the two yellow horses, not too close together, and take care of the old horse, because its speed obviously couldn't go up...... In short, in this small carriage, each horse has all kinds of problems of its own, and putting them together will create new problems for each other, not to mention having them cooperate with each other to complete the work of pulling the carriage smoothly, that is the problem within the problem!

However, in the final analysis, what problems these horses have are the same thing, and how well they perform when pulling the carriage in the end depends on the whip in Lu Zheng's hand. Lu Zheng was so tired every day, but slowly Lu Zheng also found some doorways.

He gradually discovered that in order to control these four horses well, first of all, he must not mess up first, let alone favor any one of them, otherwise the other horses will immediately have problems, and he cannot set a unified standard for all horses, otherwise with Xiao Hei's speed, the old horse will be exhausted to death in a few strokes.

Another month passed, and Lu Zheng was finally able to control the four horses handy, without any confusion. At this time, the teacher brought him another horse, and then added Xiaobai to a total of six horse-drawn carriages. But the six horses were not side by side, but were divided into the first three and the last three, and the carriage was larger than the previous one.

Although the number of horses has increased again, Lu Zheng is not worried at all this time, but walks into the carriage with confidence. After all, six horses are only a little more than four horses at most, but Lu Zheng knows that no matter how many horses come, the way to deal with them is the same, first understand the characteristics of each horse, avoid letting them affect each other, and then use a small whip to tell them the direction of progress!

When Lu Zheng was driving the six-horse-drawn carriage and galloping on the school grounds, Li Yi and Le Zhongping looked at Lu Zheng from a distance, and Le Zhongping said: "The time is just right, his imperial rites have been learned, and the medicinal materials I need have been collected, when do you plan to treat Lu Zheng with the six senses of yin poison?"
