Excited, Murong Xinghun spun around a reddish-brown horse, stroking the horse's head and patting the horse's butt for a while, extremely satisfied.
"The horses here are very good." Pei Che looked at this spacious and bright stable. Every horse in it was very strong and straight, and it could be seen that it was a rare good horse. Not to mention thousands of miles a day, 800 miles is absolutely no problem, and there are more than 50 horses.
Xuanyuan Yi was also looking around. He didn't expect that there was such a large stable in the backyard of Murong Mansion. Murong Xinghun had a rare red horse that ran smoothly and quickly. "Spirit of War" is comparable.
"Xinghun, are you still satisfied?" The man who was speaking was walking slowly with a dark horse. He was dressed in commoner clothes and had ordinary looks. He had a pair of narrow eyes and a smile.
"Master Feng, I'm very satisfied, when will I start learning?" Murong Xinghun was eager to try it, and could not wait to start immediately.
Is this person the Master Feng that Murong Xinghun always talks about? Xuanyuan Yi glanced at the man in front of him, and could not see that he was a trainer, but rather a scholar. But this just shows that this person is not simple, his aura is free and easy, and his edge is not exposed.
"You can do it now." Feng Qixuan walked towards Murong Xinghun, glanced at Xuanyuan Yi and Pei Che without a trace, and said to them with a smile, "The two sons are the distinguished guests of the mansion, do you want to come together later? Mountain riding?"
"Okay. It's been a while since I rode a horse, so I'm a little itchy. The horses here are all good horses. Today, I can have a good gallop." Pei Che said, and came to a white horse. He has long been interested in this horse. The coat color is uniform, the whole body is snow-white, there is no variegation, and the four hooves are stable. It is a good horse!
Xuanyuan Yi went to the deepest part of the stable, Feng Qixuan looked at the direction Xuanyuan Yi was walking, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a playful smile.
In the deepest part of the stable was a large stable. Xuanyuan Yi just walked towards it intuitively, but when he saw the horse inside, he was stunned, his eyes were shining with hot light, and he couldn't even breathe. Appears to be rushed. Pei Che had not seen Xuanyuan Yi like this for a long time, and followed him curiously.
Following Xuanyuan Yi's scorching gaze, a bright black horse appeared in front of him. This horse was very tall. With such a tall figure as Xuanyuan Yi, standing in front of it was only a shoulder-to-shoulder. Some blood red. The most special thing is its eyes, maybe it sensed Xuanyuan Yi's hot and domineering eyes, it has been staring at him, with scrutiny, confrontation, and even a faint mockery in its eyes? This is a very spiritual horse! It is enough to make the heroes of the world boil.
"I want it!" Xuanyuan Yi stared at it tightly, with an absolute desire to conquer in his eyes.
"Brother Xuanyuan, you can choose another horse, the ice soul is very strong, and you won't let anyone ride it." Murong Xinghun looked worriedly at the ice soul who had ignored them and drank water on his own.
"Ice Soul? Haha, good name, I'm going to set it today." In Xuanyuan Yi's eyes, there was nothing he couldn't want, only what he didn't want.
Taking a confident and steady step, Xuanyuan Yi came to the side of Ice Soul. The Ice Soul, who was drinking water indifferently, sensed the approach of someone, and immediately turned his body sharply. tweets. The eyes staring at Xuanyuan Yi were uninhibited.
Its sharpness and anger made Xuanyuan Yi even more excited. He hadn't felt this way for a long time, and his blood boiled. One person and one horse are facing each other. Although the stable is very large, it is a little small for horse training, and the ice soul is full of wildness. Xuanyuan Yi has no way to approach it for a while. There is no slack, no compromise, and the atmosphere seems to be very dignified.
"Have you all had breakfast?" A female voice sounded lazily. Everyone turned around, Feng Qixuan and Murong Xinghun were used to it, but the other two were stunned. Murong Shuqing, dressed in black with a leisurely expression, leaned against the pillar behind them.
"Shu Qing's dress... It's so special!" It's really special. It's like men's clothing, but simpler. The upper body is no different from other men's clothing, and the lower body is a pair of trousers and long boots. Unlike today's women's hairpins, they are only tied together with a hair tie. The most important thing is that black body, Pei Che feels that he doesn't know what to say except to say special.
"It's convenient and resistant to dirt." Murong Shuqing raised his eyebrows and walked towards the ice soul.
Murong Shuqing's intervention immediately disrupted the tense atmosphere in the stable. Xuanyuan Yi looked at her with a smile on his lips. It was really convenient and dirty. Saying that she is disguised as a man, I am afraid that she will be wronged. The collar of the shirt is not high, and the clean neck is eye-catching. You can see that there is no Adam's apple at a glance. He had to admit that this bizarre black riding suit was very suitable for her with fair skin, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.
Ice Soul saw Murong Shuqing approaching, leaned over affectionately, lowered his head, and dawdled in her arms, where is the rebellious look just now
"It's useless to act like a spoiled child, you can only eat two sticks, or you will get nosebleeds again." Murong Shuqing patted Ice Soul's head with a light smile, and handed the two ginseng sticks he was holding in his hands.
Ice Soul was not polite, he hissed happily, and grabbed Murong Shuqing's hand, and nibbled up the ginseng.
Pei Che's eyes widened, and at first he was very puzzled by the intimacy between Bing Soul and Murong Shuqing. Could it be that this stubborn horse who had been fighting against Xuanyuan Yi for a long time was her mount? What does she feed the horses? Ginseng… Does anyone feed horses with ginseng
"It likes to eat ginseng!" Xuanyuan Yi was obviously much calmer than Pei Che, only raised his eyebrows when he saw Murong Shuqing feeding the horse with ginseng. Are good horses fed by ginseng
"Yeah, but now I can eat two sticks in ten days and eight days. If I eat too much, it will get hot." Murong Shuqing replied while stroking Ice Soul's head.
"Yeah, no one cared about it at first. It would eat seven or eight sticks a day, and then it kept bleeding from the nose, scaring us to death!" Murong Xinghun also loved Ice Soul so much, but when her sister was away, she didn't dare to Approaching it, Ice Soul's temper is quite bad.
Seven or eight a day? How rich is the Murong family? ! Pei Che's eyes once again turned to Murong Shuqing.
Feeling Pei Che's exploratory gaze, Murong Shuqing raised his head, gave him a faint smile, and then set his eyes on Bing Soul with doting in his eyes.
"Where did you get this horse?" Xuanyuan Yi's mind was still on the ice, such a good horse could not be bought in the market, any man would want to get it.
"At Linfengguan, where Cangyue and Dongyu meet, there is a snow-capped mountain that never melts all year round. The ice soul was discovered under the mountain." She was amazed at the way the ice soul ran wild in the snow at that time. For it, she stayed in that extremely cold place for almost half a year.
"Then how did you tame it? How did it adapt from the extreme cold to the warm south?" Pei Che was also curious. Having been kept in captivity in the stable for so long, and still being so unruly, one can imagine how wild the ice under the snow-capped mountains would be.
"At first, I was worried that it would not adapt. Under the snowy mountains, it was fine to eat ten ginsengs a day, but now it can't. But it has been almost two years, and it seems to have adapted to the southern weather. As for how to tame it - of course It's with your mouth."
with your mouth? ! Is this making fun of him
"Didn't you say you're going to ride a horse? Let's go!" When the ice soul was full, Murong Shuqing patted its butt. It was not tied by any reins, and it passed the crowd like an arrow from the string. Speed away.
The warm sun shines on the body, making it too lazy to make people want to sleep. Murong Shuqing leaned comfortably against the big tree behind him, looking at the unpolluted sky, feeling the refreshing breeze. After running around happily, the ice soul also quietly lowered his head to eat grass beside Murong Shuqing, one person and one horse, it was really very comfortable. It would have been perfect without a fiery gaze on her... horse.
"Young Master Xuanyuan, do you really want to compete with Ice Soul?" Murong Shuqing asked lazily with his eyes closed.
"I have this plan!" After seeing the speed of Ice Soul just now, he wanted to tame it even more.
"Okay, Ice Soul, do you want to fight?" She stood up slowly and patted Ice Soul's head, she always wanted to ask the horses for advice!
Feeling the gazes of the two, I wondered if Ice Soul understood it, but I saw it walked up to Xuanyuan Yi with its head held high, snorting rough, stepping on its front feet, with a look of invincibility.
"Obviously it accepts it, please do." After speaking, Murong Shuqing walked back to the big tree and leaned against the trunk, waiting to enjoy the show.
Xuanyuan Yi was also interested, standing directly in front of Ice Soul, squinting at it, slowly approaching it, Ice Soul kept adjusting his direction, facing Xuanyuan Yi, not letting him get close on your side. Xuanyuan Yi moves very slowly, every step is firm, his long and sturdy body seems to contain endless power, the kind of aura that he has experienced on the battlefield, and the domineering arrogance that remains unchanged in the face of thousands of troops. , making the equally rebellious Ice Soul also agitated, making a long hiss, which seemed to be uneasy, but also vaguely excited.
Not far away, Murong Xinghun and Feng Qixuan, who were learning equestrianism, also sensed the powerful aura here and came over to watch the battle. Pei Che had already followed Murong Shuqing when he retreated under the tree. Xuanyuan Yi hadn't shown his aura in such a long time, and the ice soul aroused his desire to conquer.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Yi jumped up and leaped towards the ice soul. The moment he was about to jump onto the back of the ice soul, the ice soul also quickly retreated, avoiding Xuanyuanyi's first attack. At this time, Xuanyuan Yi was already close to Ice Soul. Although he did not successfully jump on the horse's back, he kept clinging to its side. Ice Soul began to run, Xuanyuan Yi hugged its neck tightly, did not let go, and quickly leveraged his strength to jump on the back of Ice Soul. While the ice soul jumped violently, it rushed forward at a fast speed. Under such violent shaking, Xuanyuan Yi still did not fall off, but it could be seen that he was also trying his best to clamp his legs to maintain his balance, and nearly fell off the horse several times.
The tug-of-war between one person and one horse continued, and the manic ice soul would not be reconciled until Xuanyuan Yi fell, jumping violently, as if tireless. At this time, Xuanyuan Yi had persisted for half an hour, but he still refused to show weakness, as if he was nailed to Ice Soul. Slowly, the speed of Ice Soul slowed down, panting heavily, Xuanyuan Yi, who was on the horse, was not much better, his clothes were completely soaked in sweat, his face was exhausted, but his eyes were still deep and determined. Just when Xuanyuan Yi wanted to reach out and stroke the mane of the ice soul, the ice soul suddenly stood up, the front feet were raised high, and the body was almost perpendicular to the ground. Xuanyuan Yi didn't notice, plus he was indeed exhausted, and was thrown off his horse. The moment he fell, he turned around and landed right in front of the ice soul. Although he didn't fall into a mess, it was a fact that he fell off the horse.
Standing face to face, one person and one horse, they were all sweaty, but Xuanyuan Yi laughed and walked to Ice Soul. Ice Soul didn't dodge him anymore, and there was less disdain in his eyes. Xuanyuan Yi patted Bing Soul's butt hard, causing Bing Soul to lift his hind feet and kick him. Seeing that they were getting along quite well, Murong Shuqing chuckled lightly. Could it be that he knows heroes and values heroes
After playing with the ice soul for a while, Xuanyuan Yi walked up to Murong Shuqing and saw her leaning against the tree leisurely, smiling faintly at him, he actually flashed for a moment. The black clothes made her look thinner, and her not-so-excellent facial features seemed soft but not gorgeous because of the constant smile. Said to be out riding, but he has been leaning against the tree, basking in the sun leisurely, always seems to be a lazy look. He didn't understand, how could he be so ecstatic with such a woman? Even think she has a lazy style like this
Murong Shuqing looked at Xuanyuan Yi who walked in front of him but looked at her without saying a word with a headache. Although being watched by such a pair of eyes as deep as the sea could satisfy a woman's vanity, he blocked her sunlight. . Murong Shuqing sat up slowly and smiled: "Ice Soul is not on the saddle and reins, otherwise you should not be thrown off today." This is comforting him.
"A good horse has never been tamed with a good saddle and reins, and it is such a fierce horse that makes people even more excited. It can even use the art of war and be unprepared for it. Interesting, it will be mine sooner or later!" Xuanyuan Yi Sitting on the ground beside Murong Shuqing, how long has it been since he was so happy? The speed of chasing the wind, strong stamina and explosive power made the blood in his whole body scream: I want to get it!
"It's mine now." She finally knew that the man didn't seem to be interested in anything, not because he had no desires, but because there was nothing he couldn't get, and naturally he didn't Desire to strive for something, but once there is something he likes, he is determined to get it.
In exchange for Murong Shuqing's announcement, Xuanyuan Yi smiled, "You tamed it?" It was hard to believe.
"Believe what you see."
"Use ginseng?!"
"That's right. Two years ago, I found it on the snow-capped mountain in Linfengguan. At that time, it was more arrogant, wild, and wanton than it is now. In the wind and snow, it was as fast as lightning. For it , I stayed on the snowy mountain for half a year." Thinking of that time, Murong Shuqing smiled, she couldn't believe that she lived in that extremely cold place for half a year, just for that arrogant and unruly figure, flying freely soul.
"Half a year?" Isn't she joking? He had been to that snowy mountain once, and it was already very cold at the foot of the mountain, and the ice on the mountain remained frozen all year round. She could actually stay there for the first half of the year for a horse!
"Yeah, for half a year, I lived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain every night, went up the mountain to wait for it during the day, lured it with ginseng to the place where I appeared, and then talked to it, so it is considered to be lured by ginseng and nagged by me to follow me. ." At that time, Ice Soul was very impatient to listen to her nagging, from the beginning to leave immediately after eating, to listening to her nagging for three or four hours, from waiting for it to appear for most of the time, to waiting for her at a fixed place every day, That half-year was the quietest day for her to live in so many years. If it wasn't for her body being unable to take it, she fainted on the snowy mountain and let the ice spirits be carried down the mountain. It would be good for her to live on the snowy mountain all the time.
"Although it is very strong, it can be caught." With her savage temperament, she found forty or fifty people to surround her, and the ice spirit would never escape, so why stay on the snowy mountain for half a year
"A horse that has lost its spirituality and freedom has no soul. I don't need such an ice soul." At that time, it was the free and unruly soul that attracted her. How could she be willing to obliterate it? "Even now, it's free, and I consider it a friend. If it wants to follow you, you can take it with you at any time."
"If it is really so spiritual, it seems that it is very difficult for me to take it away. However, it will eventually be mine." She raised a horse like this. With a free and unrestrained personality.
As expected, he was still thinking of Ice Soul, Murong Shuqing laughed, if it was so easy to give up, it wouldn't be Xuanyuan Yi, it would be useless to talk to such a man, "Are you interested in racing with me?"
Xuanyuan Yi raised his eyebrows, "Why not!"
Murong Shuqing let out a whistle, Ice Soul ran towards her, she got on her horse and rode away. Xuanyuan Yi pulled the white horse beside him and chased after him.
"Xuanyuan Yi, that's my horse." Pei Che yelled, but unfortunately no one paid him any attention.
Behind Murong's racecourse is the official road. Murong Shuqing and Xuanyuan Yi were racing to the edge of the race, but no one stopped and continued to gallop on the official road.
It didn't take long for them to run, and the trees on the official road blocked their way, and two or three servants were removing the trees blocking the road. They were all wearing dark blue clothes. They only looked up when Murong Shuqing and Xuanyuan Yi first appeared, and quickly resumed what they were doing. It was obvious that they were well-trained. As the saying goes, Murong Shuqing couldn't help looking at a spacious carriage on the side of the road when he saw the servant who knew the master. Sitting in the car was a man in Tsing Yi in his thirties. He didn't look like the handsome man in the south, but he was sturdy and handsome. When he saw Ice Soul, although he concealed it well, Murong Shuqing still saw the heat in his eyes. Next to him sat a woman dressed in a light green veil. The woman was charming and lovely, with big eyes like kittens staring at Murong Shuqing.
Next to the carriage were two black steeds with glossy hair and sturdy hooves. You could tell they were good horses at a glance. There was a young man sitting on one of the horses, and his facial features were somewhat similar to the man in Tsing Yi. Murong Shuqing could feel that this man had been watching her silently since they appeared.
Raising a small smile and putting away the light in his eyes, Murong Shu asked in a clear voice, "Do you need help?"
"Thank you, it's almost done." The man smiled back and said politely.
Murong Shuqing chuckled lightly, nodded slightly, and raised his horse whip at Xuanyuan Yi who was beside him, the Ice Soul jumped lightly and rushed forward. Xuanyuan Yi glanced at them again and chased after them.
After Murong Shuqing had gone for a long time, Huo Zhiqing seemed to come back to her senses and shouted, "Oh my God! How handsome!"
Huo Zixi tapped her on the head and laughed loudly: "You are stupid, you can tell that she is a woman at a glance, and her appearance is too ordinary, where is she handsome?"
"You're so stupid! Of course I know she's a woman, but she's so candid and casual in her gestures. Although she looks ordinary, it doesn't affect her charm at all. What do you know?" Huo Zixi glanced at it, dragged Huo Ziqi's hand coquettishly, and said flatly, "Brother, do you think so?"
"You—" Huo Zixi dared not to speak out. This girl relied on her eldest brother to spoil her, and did not take him as a little brother at all.
"Yes, she is indeed a special woman." Huo Ziqi replied to Huo Zhiqing's words, but looked at Yan Haoyu, and the two exchanged glances.
