Rebirth of Tao Yao

One of the reasons that Roujia pestered Yan Li at the beginning was to want him to help train the horse. After all, it is a pity for anyone to refuse to tame a good horse in front of them.But now, Rou Jia doesn't mention horse training much, but Yan Li is tired of such entanglement, and finally offers to help train the horse when facing the golden horse.

Fortunately, the golden horse had been imprisoned for a long time, and he wanted to gallop, so Yan Li tamed the horse very smoothly, and did not use any violence, allowing the little princess to ride on the horse safely.

Gao Dashan and the others didn't know why Sai Gema had to be replaced, nor did they know that the Golden Horse had changed hands, but they didn't dare to have any objections to Yan Li's words, and they were curious about the legendary princess, A group of people happily led the horses to the other side of the river.

The people had almost left, and the originally bustling riverside suddenly became quiet again.

Wen Ziran didn't talk much when there were many people, and her sense of presence was far inferior to the bluffing little princess, but Yan Li obviously didn't forget her, and it was probably because of her that she stayed.Now that everyone was gone, Wen Ziran asked, "Brother, did you give that horse to King Yan?"

Wen Ziran is perceptive. Ever since she passed the news of the Golden Horse to Yan Li in a disguised form, she knew that the General's Mansion would have to deal with it.It is a good choice to dedicate the horse to the King of Yan. Not only will it "cause the water to the east", but it will probably also get a favor from the King of Yan.

There was no one else around, so Yan Li responded softly: "Well, Dad said, we can't keep this horse."

The two of them didn't say anything more about the Golden Horse, but when it comes to this, there is always a hidden worry in their hearts.Because in Wen Ziran's "story", the golden horse is simply a source of disaster. It fights wherever it goes. The Hu people seem to have a strangely strong desire to compete and possess it. For a horse, Thousands of people even died!

Such a horse, now in the territory of Liang State, was sold by a Hu businessman in a blatant manner, and it is hard to predict what consequences it will bring.And the worst kind is that, as Wen Ziran said in the story, it will lead to war...

The two remained silent until a group of people on the opposite side were ready to start running horses, and Wen Ziran asked again, "Brother, do you think the princess will win?"

Yan Li raised his eyes and saw a group of people galloping away with their horses whipping their whips, leaving only the smoke and dust covering the ground to cover their backs.He thought for a while and said: "The horses of the princesses are better than theirs, but in terms of riding skills, ten princesses can't compare with Gao Dashan and the others." After a pause, he finally came to a conclusion: " The princess can't win unless she wants to be thrown out by the horse."

Wen Ziran heard his ridicule in the last sentence, so he also smiled and said: "But the princess is competitive, and I'm afraid I won't be happy if I lose."

Yan Li was too lazy to care whether Roujia was happy or not. He looked around and finally found a round and clean boulder by the river, then he dragged Wen Ziran over and said, "Stop standing here, if they want to I had a lot of fun running, and I won’t be back for a while. Let’s just sit and wait, maybe we can catch two fish by the way.”

Wen Ziran's hand was once again held by Yan Li. He would keep saying that he wanted to avoid suspicion, but in fact, this person didn't seem to have any concept of the difference between men and women.He would hold Wen Ziran's hand, and his movements were natural, without any extra charming thoughts, nor any more worries and hesitation, as if he should do this in the first place, and he did it as a matter of course.

The little general is upright, but he doesn't know how provocative some of his actions are in the eyes of others.

He led Wen Ziran to the side of the boulder by himself, let go of Wen Ziran's hand and thought for a while, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, spread it on the stone, and then let Wen Ziran sit down— ——This is just a trivial matter, but after Wen Ziran realized it, he couldn't help being moved, because in his previous life, Yan Li had never done such a thoughtful and considerate thing, no matter to whom.

She can't help but compare the person in front of her with the person in her memory, and the more she compares, the more she feels the difference, but it is undeniable that the elder brother in front of her is still her obsession that cannot be let go.

When Roujia came here, she wanted to pick peaches and go fishing, so naturally she also brought a fishing rod and bait, but now she ran to the horse race by herself, so the fishing rod and bait were left in place.Yan Li came over with two fishing rods. After finishing the bait, he handed one to Wen Ziran and said, "Take it, we will wait."

Fishing is quite new to Wen Ziran.She took the fishing rod obediently, quietly enjoying the fun of fishing, and then realized that Yan Li was sitting beside her side by side, and the joy in her heart gradually overflowed.

****************************************************************************

Time passed slowly, and the horse racers didn't know how far they ran, and they didn't return for a long time.Yan Li glanced at the wide plain opposite, then looked down at the fishing line hanging in the water, there was still no movement on the two fishing rods.

Suddenly, Wen Ziran grabbed Yan Li's arm, and his tone was soft but excited: "Brother, there seems to be a fish!"

When a person loses his sight, his other senses become much sharper.Yan Li hurriedly raised his eyes when he heard the words, and sure enough, he saw Wen Ziran's fishing line being pulled twice, his eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to help lift the rod.However, the little general, who had never fished much, obviously had no experience. He lifted the rod too early, which disturbed the fish eating the bait, and finally scared the fish away without any catch.

Yan Li looked at Kong Gan a little embarrassed, turned his head and was about to say something, but saw the smile on Wen Ziran's face froze slightly.So the words on his lips followed suit, and he blinked and asked, "Zi Ran, what's wrong?"

Wen Ziran sat side by side with Yan Li, and after Yan Li took the fishing rod away, she casually put her palm on the boulder.With this support, she noticed something strange, and she frowned when Yan Li asked: "Brother, the ground seems to be shaking."

When Yan Li heard this, his first reaction was not that the ground was shaking, but the vibration caused by the horseshoes trampling on the ground.His face straightened immediately, and he didn't care about anything else. He threw the fishing rod in his hand and jumped off the boulder in a hurry, then bent down and put his ears on the ground.

There was indeed a vibration, and he was very familiar with the vibration of the horseshoes trampling the ground - most people in the border towns had this ability, and they didn't need to learn it specially from the scouts in the army. They had already practiced lying down on the ground during years of fighting against Hu. The ability to listen to sounds and distinguish numbers——Yan Li knew that this movement could not be caused by a dozen or so horses from Roujia and others, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

Jumping up from the ground, Yan Li didn't care about anything else, and directly reached out to hug Wen Ziran off the boulder, and said firmly: "Something happened!"

Wen Ziran was not surprised. In fact, anyone who has lived in a border town for more than a year would have this kind of vigilance.It's just that it's midsummer, and it's not the time for Hu people to go south to invade the border, so Wen Ziran still has some doubts: "What's wrong?"

Yan Li held Wen Ziran in his arms and ran to a place where he could hide in the peach grove: "A lot of people are coming here. There is no military exercise these few days. Today is still resting, so it should not be a garrison." After a pause, he said again: "Maybe they came here after the princess and Dashan. I don't know who they are. It's better to be careful."

Today's trip was for fun, except for the dagger that had just peeled a peach, Yan Li didn't even have any usable weapons on him.He looked at the unusually calm Wen Ziran beside him, he couldn't say he was flustered, but his heart was always a little heavy, and the only good thing was that the peach forest was dense enough that it was impossible to run into the forest on horseback!

Not long after the two of them hid, several familiar figures appeared on the opposite side of the river, and the most eye-catching ones were of course Roujia and the golden horse she was sitting on - at the time of this crisis, the little princess obviously couldn't care less about other things , almost hugging the horse's neck and moving forward.As expected, the golden horse lived up to its steed, and ran so fast that even Hei Feng, who was running second, was thrown far away by it.

Wen Ziran had already heard the movement, but she couldn't see what was going on in front of her, so she could only ask Yan Li in a low voice: "Is the princess and the others back?"

Yan Li didn't answer, his complexion was not very good, because Roujia and the others were really in a mess.It's fine for the little princess to be pampered, but Gao Dashan and others are different. They are all generals. They have practiced martial arts and riding and shooting since they were young.But now they are running, and they are running in a panic, which shows that the situation is dangerous.

I don't have anything at hand, and I'm powerless to help.Yan Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the opposite side for a moment, without much hesitation, turned around and pulled Wen Ziran on his back, and then started to run wildly with the person on his back.

The swift wind was blowing on his face, and his brother's not-so-broad back was under him, Wen Ziran lay on Yan Li's back, feeling a little dazed for a moment.But she quickly realized that to make brother so nervous, even abandoning his companions, must have encountered an enemy that was difficult to deal with.

So who are those chasing the princess and the others?Is it a horse thief who came to the border town without knowing his life and death to plunder, or... a barbarian who shouldn't have appeared in the border town at this time? !

Somehow, both Yan Li and Wen Ziran thought of the latter at the same time.

In fact, summer has never been the time for the Hu people to invade the border, because at this time, the water and grass are luxuriant, and it is a good time for the nomadic Hu people to herd horses and sheep.Without cattle and sheep, the tribe cannot survive, and without horses, the tribe cannot fight. These are all important matters related to Hu's life and death. No one would choose to start a war easily at such a time... unless there is a greater temptation in front of them!

Of course, at this time, Yan Li and Wen Ziran didn't have time to think about it, and they couldn't even be sure what happened.Yan Li's footsteps were swift, even with someone on his back, he ran like a gust of wind, and soon he ran out of the Taolin and came to the place where they tied their horses.

There were originally seven or eight horses tied up here, and most of the servants and guards accompanied by the little princess rode, but now because of the horse racing, the horses are basically taken away.At this moment, only the bay red horse ridden by Yan Li and the carriage of the little princess remained in place.

The coachman was still guarding the car, and he was shocked when he saw Yan Li running out of the forest with Wen Ziran on his back, but before he could ask, Yan Li reminded him coldly: "Go!"
