"Haha, hurry up!" Ulan Sobud found that Li Hongji was chasing him, excited like a kite flying in the air in February, her silver bell-like laughter, with the help of the northwest wind, far away Far into Li Hongji's ears.

Being ridiculed by the little Mongolian girl, Li Hongji was furious, "Drive!" He flicked his whip and slammed the bay red horse's buttocks. The bay red horse suffered a pain, and the speed suddenly increased by 30%. The difference between him and Ulan Sobud The distance is rapidly shortening.

"Huh?" Ulan Sobudd turned around and found that Li Hongji had been forced behind her. Her legs clamped the horse's belly and gave a signal to charge, and then took another whip on the horse's buttocks. The little white horse also speeded up its hoof. Frequency of.

Ulan Sobud was like a starling who had just been released from the cage, yelling with excitement, and yelling "Oh, oh" from time to time.

In order to reduce the resistance of the wind, Li Hongji leaned on the horse, his chest almost pressed on the horseback.

The bay red horse has a larger body, and its four legs are much longer than the little white horse. Although the little white horse has tried its best, the Ulan Sobud on its body, coupled with the huge package, is too heavy, and it is a bit too powerful. Ma Jian gradually caught up.

Ulan Sobud was in a hurry. She was throwing her whip and kicking the horse belly with her slender feet, wishing to get off the horse and run on six legs.

The bay red horse's head had already crossed the little white horse, but Ulan Sobud still refused to admit defeat.

Li Hongji remained silent and urged the horse again. The bay red horse's body had completely exceeded the little white horse. He turned the horse's head and forced it towards the little white horse, and started to stop the little white horse from going straight ahead.

Although the two horses did not collide, the little white horse was forced to turn to the right.

"Call..." Ulan Sobud finally slowed down his horse, and Li Hongji lowered the horse's speed when he lifted the reins.

The two riders were almost side by side, at the forefront of the team.

Said it was a grassland, because it was winter and there was no scenery at all. Li Hongji looked around and was surrounded by blue-gray, either with yellow grass roots or black soil.

"Master Li's riding skills are not inferior to our Mongolian men." It may be because of the excitement just now, Ulan Sobud's small face was flushed red.

"I also learned to ride horses since I was a child, and later worked as a postman, so the horsemanship has never been wasteful." Li Hongji was calm and calm.

"No wonder!" Ulan Sobud beckoned. She was still preparing to fight Li Hongji. Thinking about it, she gave up. Her little white horse is far inferior to Li Hongji's bay red horse. "If Han people can reach Li Hongji, At the adult level, then we Mongolians have no advantage at all."

"What Ulan Gege is talking about is the battlefield?" Li Hongji looked at Ulan Sobud, "Actually, if you control horsemanship well, you just run away faster."

"Huh!" Ulan Sobud twisted a small waist on the horseback. "We Horqin, not only men, but also women can shoot arrows on the back of a running horse." She habitually stretched out her hand to her back. Touched it, but there was no quiver behind her, and she could only withdraw her little hand angrily.

"Ulangege is right. We can't compare this point. Among us Han people, there are not many who can put arrows on the back of a Mercedes-Benz horse." Li Hongji said, "Korchin's cavalry is compared with the Jurchen. , How is the combat effectiveness?"

Ulan Sobud hesitated, his eyes were not as bright as before, "Korqin's cavalry is still a little bit worse than the Jurchen Eight Banners!"

"Then Wulangege knows that in Dajin Country, there are only Six Flags of Jurchen now?"

Ulan Sobud nodded, his eyes darkened, "Master Li, how did you do it?"

"It's okay to tell you, you can't make it now." Li Hongji let go of the horse's rein, and made an aiming gesture with both hands: "It's a flintlock, we use a flintlock."

"But your attendants, the one on your back?" Ulan Sobud turned his head and looked back. Li Hongji's attendants and his attendants were far behind.

Li Hongji did not deny: "It is this flintlock. It is a hundred times more powerful than your sabers and bows."

"Hmph, you Han people, you will pretend to be gods, have the ability, and fight us with real swords and guns." Ulan Sobud raised his face, full of disdain.

"Haha, Miss Ulan, we can use flintlocks to solve problems. We generally don't use sabers." Li Hongji felt that Ulan Sobud was too naive. "Besides, we Han people made flintlocks. Why don't we use them?"

"Master Li, can you show the little girl?" Ulan Sobud's eyes flashed with envy. If this kind of light can stab Li Hongji's eyes, she hopes she can take away a flintlock. Shot.

"Of course, they will come up in a while, and Wulangge can take it and see," Li Hongji cut off her further thoughts, "but, I can't give it to you."

"Why? Lord Li is so stingy? Not as good as our Mongolian women?" Ulan Sobud's cheeks bulged high, and his lips were pouted high. It seemed that he could hang a bottle of soy sauce.

"Ulangege, I'm really sorry, it's not a petty question. The flintlock is my Da Ming's treasure, and my emperor has an order. If anyone loses a flintlock, he must change his head." Li Hongji Simply put the problem more serious.

"Oh? Then... forget it!" Ulan Sobud's mood gradually eased, but she was still a bit disappointed.

The two of them rode horses and walked silently, not knowing what they were looking at or thinking.

Ulan Sobud looked at Li Hongji's face several times and seemed to open her mouth, but she said nothing after all.

Li Hongji waited for a long time, but there was no movement, so he had to rush to speak: "Wulangge?"

"Ok?"

"I have a question for you, but I don't know if it's abrupt."

"If you want to ask, just ask, you Han people are just verbose!"

"Hehe," Li Hongji smiled wryly, "Ulangege, why do you speak Chinese so well?"

"Are you asking this?" Ulan Sobud was a little lost, her face turned to the outside, leaving a section of the back of her neck in Li Hongji's eyes, "I have a grandmother, she is a Han, and she taught me the Chinese language. It is said that she was originally a lady of the official family."

"Han? Miss Guanjia?" Li Hongji was taken aback. He thought hard in his mind, but he had no clue. Given his age, there must be no intersection with this grandmother, nor did Li Hongji in the Ming classics he had read. Have seen any clues.

"Yes, my grandmother can also write Chinese characters, but she hasn't taught me, she said, it's useless for girls to learn Chinese characters."

"Ulangege, can you tell me about your grandmother's life experience?"

Ulan Sobud shook his head, "I don't know, my grandmother never said about her life experience. She said that she had already insulted her family when she married to Mongolia, so she must forget the past."

Li Hongji thinks it makes sense. Her grandmother must feel sorry for her family when she marries a foreign race. Therefore, she never mentions her family anymore; and her family also thinks that she is seriously insulted by marrying off Horqin, Mongolia or being snatched by Horqin. The style, therefore, deliberately forgot her, there is no record in Daming's classics.

"You Han people are really, marrying a Mongolian, you humiliate her family? I really don't understand." Ulan Sobud continued to hate.

"I can't tell." Li Hongji shook his head. Ulan Sobud is a Mongolian. He can't understand the etiquette of the Han people. "Perhaps Mongolia was an enemy of Daming, after all, that was a long time ago."

"Oh!" Ulan Sobud also thought of the war between Daming and Mongolia in the past. It is no wonder that grandmother refused to tell her life experience. Daming was the enemy of Mongolia at that time, and she was worried that her family would be affected.

"It's probably like this."

"Gege, Gege." The two maids of Ulan Sobud, panting, caught up, followed by Li Hongji's attendants.

The two women looked at Li Hongji with strange eyes. One of them gave Li Hongji a fierce look, making Li Hongji bewildered.

"What are you calling? In broad daylight, can I still get lost?" Ulan Sobud lightly scolded her maid.

Li Hongji smiled: "They are Lanlan and Meimei?"

"Yeah! When they entered the mansion, they didn't have a name. At that time, I often listened to my grandmother telling stories about the Han people, so I gave them a Han name." Ulan Sobudd's face changed faster than a book Immediately changed a smiling face, and the dimples on his face were faintly exposed.

"It's a good name!" Li Hongji glanced at Lan Lan and Memedo, "I didn't expect that in the depths of the Horqin Prairie, I could encounter so many elements related to the Han people.

However, Lan Lan did not give Li Hongji a good expression like her master did. Her pupils suddenly enlarged, like a water lily, looking at Li Hongji obliquely. When Li Hongji looked at her again, she had bowed her head and did not look at Li Hongji. .

Ulan Sobud did not pay attention to her maid. She tilted her small face and met Li Hongji's gaze: "Shall we dismount and walk?"

"Get off the horse? Okay," Li Hongji leaped off his horse. He patted his wrinkled clothes and pants. "It's still comfortable to walk."

Ulan Sobud also jumped off his horse and handed the rein to Mei Mei.

The two walked side by side on the withered grass, and the warm sun shone on their side from the side.

Ulan Sobud's maid and Li Hongji's attendant led their war horses and followed far behind.

Ulan Sobud is like a Han Chinese woman, with one hand on his chin and one hand on his elbow, "Master Li, can I call you by your name? It's always an adult, so awkward."

"As long as you like it, whatever you want."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Then I called?"

"Call it!"

"Hongji?"

"Ok!"

"Hongji Hongji Hongji..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Ulan Sobud also looked up to the sky and laughed. She opened her arms and pointed to Changshengtian, "I'm so happy, Hongji, let's run? Only running can express my feelings at the moment."

Regardless of whether Li Hongji agreed or not, and regardless of whether the long skirt stumbled or not, she had already opened her legs and ran to the southwest.

Li Hongji had to catch up. With tall legs and long legs, he chased behind Ulan Sobud.

Ulan Sobud’s red dress was too long and it was extremely inconvenient to run. In addition, he was wearing soft-soled soap boots, which was not suitable for running on the ground.

With a slip of her right foot, she fell to the ground with a "pop", with her spine facing up to the ground, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Li Hongji was running at high speed behind Ulan Sobud. At this time, even a small stone could trip him, let alone a Mongolian woman weighing a hundred kilograms.

He stumbled on Ulan Sobud's feet and his feet stopped immediately, but due to inertia, his upper body continued to dive forward and fell onto Ulan Sobud.
