Chapter 281 The Little Nun 9
Chapter 281 The Little Nun 9
Xue Zhen handed the reins to Ling Yi and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is my fifth warhorse. Would you like to try riding it?"
Ling Yi didn't ask what happened to the previous four horses. In war, human life is worthless, let alone the warhorses of such fierce generals. If they weren't armored, one of them might die in a single charge.
She took the reins from Lao Wu while he was on guard, and slowly walked with him. Then, taking advantage of his inattention, she suddenly flipped herself onto the horse and rode on its back.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
The horse, whose temper was bigger than its size, suddenly began to kick and jerk, trying to throw Lingyi off.
But Lingyi clung to it like glue, no matter how much it shook, she wouldn't leave its side.
When Master Xu arrived, he saw Xue Zhen's precious warhorse rear up, and the woman on its back pulled hard on the reins, completely subduing it.
"General Xue, let me run a lap!"
He could hear the woman's laughing voice clearly from a great distance, and then he saw her ride away on the general's warhorse, leaving them with a trail of exhaust fumes.
He was no longer afraid that the general would be caught in a trap and his carriage would overturn; rather, he was afraid that the woman was there to swindle their general's warhorse.
"This..." He dismounted and walked over to Xue Zhen, who was watching all this with his hands behind his back, and asked in confusion, "How come the general's warhorse has been ridden away?"
That beast not only has hooves that can kick people to death, but also a temper that can infuriate people to death. It is also deeply favored by the general. How could it be ridden away so easily?
Xue Zhen raised an eyebrow: "That brave warrior won our race, so what's wrong with me giving her my horse to ride?"
Master Xu didn't know what to say, feeling that the general was quite ill today.
First, she ran out with a stranger without any suspicion; then, she inexplicably got into a horse race; and now, she's even lent out her precious possession...
If this isn't a case of lust clouding one's judgment, what else is there to say?
But if you really want to put it that way, listen to what he calls people.
"Strong man?"
Isn't that a tall, pretty young girl?
How did it become associated with brave warriors?
General, are your eyes alright?
Xue Zhen ignored his suddenly raised voice and pointed to the tent: "What did you figure out?"
Master Xu said weakly, "I can tell you didn't go in easily."
He was just a county magistrate's advisor before, and he worked his way up to his current position step by step. He should be thanking his God and ancestors for being able to handle all kinds of trivial matters. Wouldn't it be a bit too much to ask him to understand military matters as well?
Xue Zhen snorted in boredom and looked at the camp again.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt a connection with it.
How could there be someone in this world who thinks so much like him!
He was observing from the outside, while the bandits inside were also observing them.
"What should we do? Should we go check it out?" The soldier perched on one tree whispered to the person on another tree.
"Are you stupid? We're just on lookout duty. Going out to fight those people? Are you crazy?" His sergeant cursed from another tree, "Have you forgotten what the king said: even if the sky falls, we can't leave the camp?"
Upon hearing the words "King," the sentries hiding in the trees instinctively shrank back.
These mountain bandits, who couldn't even distinguish between their left and right hands, were trained to obey orders without question in just a few months.
The torment they have suffered in these past few months is unimaginable.
At first, they all hoped to go like their brothers.
Fortunately, the king is merciful and will not kill them but will only make them suffer a fate worse than death, which is why they have managed to hold on until now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is back!"
Dust rose in the distance, and the sentries saw that the king, who had just run away, had returned.
"General, thank you." Ling Yi returned to the tree, immediately dismounted, and handed the reins to Xue Zhen's personal guard.
The red horse has just run a lap and is still in a state of excitement.
At this moment, it unceremoniously snatched its reins back from the guard, trotted over to Ling Yi's side, and looked at her with its clear, big eyes.
When this cheap horse isn't looking at people with a sidelong glance, it's actually quite good-looking.
Ling Yi chuckled and stroked the white fur on its nose: "General, your horse is about to betray you."
Xue Zhen was also surprised.
This fifth horse had a worse temper than the warhorses in front of him, and it was also the longest-lived. In the past, it ignored everyone except him and the horse breeder, but now it was fawning over him...
He glanced at the burly man who suited his taste, patted the fifth brother on the back, and laughed, "Since it's destined for you, I'll give it to you!"
Master Xu: "Cough cough cough..."
He coughed heavily a few times, trying to calm Xue Zhen down.
His spare warhorse was only recently selected and cannot be used yet!
Xue Zhen glanced at him and coughed, "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me go to war for the time being? What's the big deal about what kind of horse I ride?"
Master Xu was taken aback: That seems to be true...
"A gentleman does not take what others cherish." Ling Yi felt that since they had just met, she should be reserved and politely decline the offer of the BMW three times.
Unexpectedly, Xue Zhen waved his hand dismissively: "You're not a gentleman, you're a woman!"
Ling Yi: "..."
Did you grow a mouth just to annoy people?
She said with a forced smile, "Then I thank the general for the horse."
Resign my ass, the horse is hers now.
Xue Zhen didn't notice Ling Yi's slight mood. He said with great interest, "Can we go into your camp now? Your sentry has been watching us for quite a while."
He and Ling Yi were so in sync, how could their sentry deployments not overlap?
Therefore, with just one sweep, he spotted the person who was hiding himself on the tree with a branch.
"He can't even hide his eyes, he's so stupid," Xue Zhen said disdainfully.
This guy clearly hasn't encountered any strong enemies, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
Ling Yi took a deep breath and praised, "General, your mouth is truly well-deserved."
Having said that, he strode forward and said, "Please!"
Xue Zhen paused for a moment, then asked, "Why is she unhappy?"
Master Xu was surprised: "You can even sense when others are unhappy?"
He thought the general was oblivious to this, otherwise how could he have been so angry that he vomited blood and then still had the audacity to demand people and food from him?
The old man is being sarcastic again.
Xue Zhen ignored him and humbly asked, "Where did I say something wrong?"
It's not easy to find a true friend, so you can't let them stop talking to you.
Master Xu laughed in exasperation: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
He's been working hard for seven or eight years and never received an apology, and now you're starting to reflect on your actions the moment this girl gets angry?
Because she is a girl?
Then I might as well learn from Sima Yi.
Of course, this was just a casual remark; there was no intention to usurp the throne.
After all, the general was different from Cao Cao, who performed the concubine's rites in circles. He was so averse to women that he suspected the rebel army might have disbanded before he usurped the throne because there was no successor.
