Chapter 494 Ride Together
"Gu Xu, please take a closer look at me. Are there a few white hairs on my head?" On the way to the stables, Zhao Yan asked Gu Xu next to her. Xu asked.
The love experience from Emperor Ziwei told Gu Xu that the most correct answer at this time is "The king is young and beautiful, how can he have gray hair?"
But he knew very well that such clumsy rhetoric could not deceive Zhao Yan.
So he gently pushed aside her soft black hair, looking for the looming silver hair, and said in a concerned tone: "You must be having a hard time these days..."
< br>
"It's not because of you, Master." Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes with a lazy expression, like a coquettish cat. "As soon as the apprentice ascended the throne, the master flew away, leaving the apprentice to have to weigh down a country alone. She carries the burden on her shoulders and deals with all kinds of annoying political affairs all day long."
"It's my fault." Gu Xu lowered his head slightly and pulled out a few scattered white hairs for her. "This time, I won't leave again."
"Really? Don't lie to me."
"When have I lied to you? To be honest, I'm here this time The most important purpose of the North is to marry you."
Hearing the word "marry you", Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she confirmed that she heard it correctly, and then said leisurely: "Yes. I haven’t agreed yet.”
"How about I propose to you now?" Gu Xu smiled, looked into her charming eyes, and said sincerely, "Yan'er, I like you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Are you willing?" "
Gu Xu's confession is not at all the subtle and euphemistic literary style of the Dahuang people, but is full of the straightforwardness of modern people in the past.
But Zhao Yan just accepts this straightforward approach.
She put her hands around his neck and gave him a positive answer with a passionate kiss.
Under the long crow-feather hair, the snow-white skin on her neck was bathed in the golden sunlight, as if dyed with a layer of sweet honey.
"Spend a lifetime together," she murmured softly, her arms hugging her tighter and tighter, as if she was afraid that Gu Xu would escape from her arms, "You have to keep your word..."
"Yes." Gu Xu hugged her and gently stroked the beautiful curves of her back.
The two lingered in the corner for a long time.
Then Zhao Yan walked into the stable and took out the horse "Big Red".
She jumped onto the horse with a light leap.
The bright red dress fluttered in the wind, like a burning flame.
"Come up!" She held the reins with one hand and reached out to Gu Xu with the other, "Today you sit in front and I will teach you how to ride a horse."
Looking back at Xu, he was no longer polite and coy.
He grabbed her jade-white hand and climbed onto the horse.
Zhao Yan handed the reins to his hand, put her chin on his shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "The reins are the most effective way to control the horse. You have to hold it tightly with both hands. , cannot be released at any time
"When walking slowly, you can stand up straight and sit on the saddle.
"But if you want to run fast, you have to clamp the horse's back with your knees, lean forward, and your buttocks are in contact with the saddle. Non-touch, rising and falling with the rhythm of the horse's running...
"You are a beginner, we can take it slow first..."
Her lips were touching his ears. Very close, Rulan's breath lingered in his ears, tickling and making his heart beat slightly faster.
However, at this moment, "Big Red" suddenly spread its hooves and galloped forward like an arrow from a string.
Zhao Yan was shocked.
She thought the beast suddenly went crazy, so she reflexively grabbed the reins from Gu Xu's hand, trying to make it stop to prevent Gu Xu, a novice, from getting hurt.
But soon she was surprised to find that under such circumstances, Gu Xu was not only calm and calm like a seasoned veteran rider, he even closed his eyes slightly, seeming to enjoy this situation quite a bit. A tense and exciting feeling.
I saw "Big Red" running wildly through the streets and alleys of Jicheng.
It seems to be intelligent, bypassing the crowds, avoiding shops, crossing ditches and crossing bridges, as nimble and light as a flying swallow. Because Gu Xu secretly used the causal spell, the passers-by around them ignored their existence - even though the two had extraordinary status and flamboyant behavior, others regarded them as nothing.
Zhao Yan felt even more incredible.
She knew that "Big Red" was a wild horse known for its unruly nature - she had spent a lot of effort to tame it.
I didn’t expect it to obey the command of Gu Xu, a novice rider!
Her white arms hugged Gu Xu's waist tightly, her whole body rested on his back, and she said in a soft voice: "Is Master secretly cheating with magic?"
Gu Xu felt the cloud-like softness behind him and responded with a smile: "What do you think?"
"..."
There is no doubt that Gu Xu is taking this opportunity to test new skills. of “ruling” authority.
The remnant soul of Emperor Ziwei claims that this power can control people's hearts.
But Gu Xu has always been cautious about this power and will not use it easily, let alone abuse it on his own people like Emperor Ziwei did.
The power of "control" gave Emperor Ziwei the arrogance to treat others as pawns deep in his heart, always thinking that "everything is under control."
And this was also the key factor why he lost to Taishang Haotian and finally fell into the hands of Gu Xu.
Of course, being cautious does not mean not using it at all.
Gu Xu believes that he still has the necessary proficiency to deal with the "ruling" power - perhaps it will become a trump card that can turn the tide when dealing with enemies in the future.
"Big Red" became his first "guinea pig".
Gu Xu clearly felt that he and the soul of "Big Red" were connected by an invisible thread - he could use this thread to control all its actions like a remote control.
But the purpose of "control" is far more than that.
This authority still has great potential, waiting for him to slowly explore it.
When the military camp on the outskirts of the city appeared in their sight, Gu Xu withdrew his "control".
The freed "Big Red" suddenly braked and raised its two front hooves in the air.
Gu Xu couldn't sit firmly for a moment and almost slipped off the horse.
Fortunately, Zhao Yan behind him reached out to support him.
"Master, this is your true riding skill, right?" She covered her face with one hand and chuckled jokingly.
…………
Zhao Yan tied Dahong to a tree, then led Gu Xu into the military camp on foot.
The two did not make any announcement about their trip.
With the help of the art of cause and effect, they disguised themselves as two ordinary soldiers.
Even though they have extraordinary identities and outstanding appearances, people around them don't even look at them, they are all busy with their own things.
There was even a soldier who came up drunkenly and made vulgar jokes to them.
Dayan military camp order stipulates that alcohol is prohibited.
This man must have sneaked out and indulged himself.
Zhao Yan frowned and secretly remembered this person's appearance in her mind, thinking: You don't have to report here tomorrow.
