MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 114 shadow in moonlight
Chapter 114 Shadows in the Moonlight
Li Xin thought that he couldn't ride a horse, so he would be laughed at by these inner guards, but in fact he didn't. Wang Mo and others didn't even show a surprised expression, so they began to teach Li Xin to ride.
In fact, not all ancient people could ride horses. Horses are very expensive in any era, let alone ordinary people can't afford to raise them, and well-off people may not be able to raise them. Even many people in the two guards have no Opportunity to ride a horse.
However, as imperial guards, Wang Mo and others can ride horses, and each of them is a professional master. This tall captain first helped Li Xin to the **** horse, and then handed the reins in his hand. .
The **** horse is not very docile, even Princess Qinghe, who often rides horses, can't control him. At this time, when Li Xin sat on it, he started to get restless.
Wang Mo stretched out his hand and patted the tall black horse, and couldn't help but sighed in admiration.
"Good horse!"
The horse of this era is roughly equivalent to the status of the car in later generations. A good horse is no different from the supercar of later generations, and it is even more eye-catching.
The horse brought by the ninth princess was one of the horses that was most beloved by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. It had the blood of Dawan horses, with a black body and no variegation.
It has a name called Dark Cloud.
Good horses are often not very good-tempered, because mild-tempered horses cannot run fast.
Under the guidance of Wang Mo and others, it took Li Xin less than half an hour to manage this **** horse, but when he sat on the horse, he was still a little wobbly and not particularly skilled.
Pingnan Hou Li Shen and the generals of the Nanhou Mansion naturally did not have the patience to wait for Li Xin to learn to ride a horse. In fact, when they saw Li Xin starting to practice horses, they all sneered on their faces and went all the way to the southwest.
When Li Xin learned to ride a horse, he discovered that Li Shen and his more than 100 generals had long since disappeared.
Wang Mo on the side saw that Li Xin had almost learned, so he got on his horse and said solemnly: "Li Xiaowei, don't panic, I have already asked a brother to follow Li Houye, he will mark the road, we will follow."
Li Xin discovered that there were only four of the five inner guards left.
Li Xin sat up straight on the horse, clasped his fists at Wang Mo and said, "Brother Wang is a drag."
Wang Mo shook his head slightly: "When Wang first entered the Imperial Guard, he didn't know how to ride a horse. He had to suffer a lot to learn how to ride a horse. It's amazing that Li Xiaowei can learn how to ride a horse in such a short period of time. ."
When he said this, he glanced in the southwest direction, and said solemnly: "Li Houye is surrounded by experts who are skilled in equestrianism, and it is estimated that he has run a short distance at this time, let's follow quickly, and don't get scattered. already."
Li Xin nodded slightly.
The purpose of his trip to the southern border is very complicated. The general Zhu Guo definitely doesn't want him to follow him. If he can't keep up with the team and gets lost, Li Shen absolutely cannot wait for him.
As for the imperial decree, it can be revealed in one sentence.
The remnants of the southern border are in chaos, and the military situation is urgent. Lord Ben is in a hurry to hurry, and he has no time to wait for a young man who does not know how to equestrian.
Just this sentence, Li Xin didn't even have a chance to retaliate.
At the moment, Wang Mo led the team at the front, and the other three guarded Li Xin to the left and right and the rear. The four surrounded Li Xin in the middle and chased towards the southwest.
This chase is a whole day.
When the sun went down and the sky was completely dark, Wang Mo stopped in front of a post station. He looked at the sign left at the door of the post station, turned around and clasped his fist at Li Xin and said, "Li Xiaowei, Li Houye, they are tonight. I should have stayed at this inn, so let's go in too."
Li Xin nodded reluctantly and jumped off the **** horse.
After running all day, this big dark horse is still in good spirits, but Li Xin is a little sluggish. Anyone who has just learned to ride a horse and runs wild all day will not be able to bear it.
As soon as he jumped off the **** horse, he felt that his legs were weak, and the inner thighs were burning with pain.
This is a horse grinding.
People who ride horses all the year round will have a layer of calluses on their thighs, but Li Xin obviously did not. He rode all day, and the skin on his thighs was worn out.
The big man Wang Mo stretched out his hand to support Li Xin, so that the young captain would not fall to the ground.
Li Xin gave a wry smile: "You have embarrassed Yu Linwei, don't laugh at Brother Wang."
Wang Mo lowered his head and said softly, "Master Li has walked at least 200 miles in the daytime. For such a long distance, a person who rides horses all the year round may not be able to eat. Li Xiaowei's appearance is normal. ."
The 200-mile road is probably the physical limit of an ordinary horse to carry people. If you want to run further, you need to change horses to complete it.
When he got off the horse just now, in addition to Li Xin's **** horse, Wang Mo and others' horses were constantly spraying white air. If they ran further, they would hurt the horse.
Wang Mo supported Li Xin, walked to the door of the inn, and said in a low voice, "Even if things in the southern border are urgent, they won't run like this, and after running for such a day today, the horse won't be able to run very far tomorrow. Now, Lord Li...I want to get rid of Li Xiaowei."
Wang Mo is a warrior, and Li Xin naturally can't see things that he can see.
In fact, Li Xin really wanted to be thrown away by this Marquis of Pingnan, so that he could go back to the capital to live comfortably, but Colonel Li knew very well that if he couldn't even catch up with Li Shen, After returning to the capital, perhaps the seventh prince will still use him, but the emperor of Chengde will no longer have any holy family for him.
The emperor of Chengde is only forty-five years old this year, and God knows how long he will live.
Li Xin didn't want to wait for ten or twenty years. When the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he would be able to deal with the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Besides, it is still unknown whether the seventh prince will be able to ascend the throne.
Therefore, he must grasp the emperor of Chengde.
Thinking of this, Li Xin took a deep breath and said softly: "No matter what he wants to do, we just follow him. Anyway, since His Majesty has ordered us, we must go to the southern border."
Wang Mo had a smile on his face.
"Of course we won't have any problems, I'm afraid Li Xiaowei can't stand it."
"They're all big men, why can't they bear some hardship?"
Li Xin gritted his teeth: "Could it be that Big Brother Wang looks down on our Yulinwei?"
The conflict between the two guards has lasted for more than 30 years, but the two guards belong to the emperor's imperial guards. This contradiction is not sharp, at most it is a small fight between brothers. At this time, Li Xin said this sentence , which made the big Wang Mo laugh.
"Li Xiaowei is a good person, as expected of our guards, rest early this evening, and tomorrow will be your time of suffering."
The suffering he was talking about was the injury on Li Xin's thigh. He was injured just today, and it wasn't particularly painful, but when he woke up tomorrow morning, it was the most sour time.
Accompanied by Wang Mo, Li Xin reluctantly ate a few bites of food, and then went into a room in the station to rest.
The environment of this inn is very bad, there are mosquitoes not to mention, and there are some bad smells.
Li Xin slept in the middle of the night when he was bitten by a mosquito and woke up. After waking up, there was a burning pain in his thigh.
As Wang Mo said, the pain was more than ten times worse than before sleeping.
Li Xin took a deep breath and couldn't sleep again.
He came out of his room and wanted to go to the yard to breathe.
The yuehua shop sprinkled down, turning the yard of the inn into a moon-white color, and at the same time, it also reflected a thin shadow.
Li Xin raised his head and looked at the owner of the shadow.
Pingnan Hou Li Shen.
Under the moonlight, Li Shen stood quietly in the yard, as if he had been waiting for Li Xin for a long time.
ps: Well-off is an ancient word, so you don’t have to worry about it.
There is also the rectification of the starting point. Many parts of the old book need to be changed. It is not driving, but the starting point to block sensitive words. It has been checked for a long time, so it affects the update, sorry.
