Li Xin thought that he couldn't ride a horse, and he would be ridiculed by these internal guards, but in fact, no, Wang Mo and the others didn't even show a surprised expression, and began to teach Li Xin to ride a horse.

In fact, not all ancient people can ride horses, horses are very expensive in any era, not to mention that ordinary people can't afford to raise them, and well-off people may not be able to raise them, and even many people in the two guards don't have the opportunity to ride horses.

However, as the Son of Heaven's guard, Wang Mo and the others are all good at riding horses, and they are all specialized masters, this tall lieutenant, first helped Li Xin to the big black horse, and then handed the reins in his hand.

The big black horse is not very docile, even Princess Qinghe, who often rides horses, can't control him, and at this time, Li Xin sat on it, and began to be restless.

Wang Mo stretched out his hand and patted the one-person-tall big black horse, and couldn't help but admire.

"Good horse!"

The horse of this era is roughly equivalent to the status of the car of later generations, and a good horse is no different from the supercars of later generations, and even more eye-catching.

The horse brought over by the Ninth Princess was one of the most beloved horses of His Royal Highness King Wei, with the blood of Dawan horses, and the whole body was jet black, without a trace of variegation.

It has a name, it's called Dark Cloud.

Good horses tend to not have a very good temper, because horses with a gentle temper can't run fast.

Under the guidance of Wang Mo and others, it took Li Xin half an hour to barely control this big black horse, but when he sat on the horse, he was still a little shaky and not particularly skilled.

Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, and the generals of the Pingnanhou Mansion naturally did not have the patience to wait for Li Xin to learn to ride a horse, in fact, when they saw Li Xin start to train horses, they all showed sneers on their faces, and went all the way to the southwest.

When Li Xin learned to ride a horse, he found that Li Shen and his more than 100 generals had already disappeared.

Wang Mo on the side saw that Li Xin had almost learned, so he turned over and said in a deep voice: "Captain Li doesn't need to panic, I have already asked a brother to follow Hou Ye Li, he will mark along the road, let's follow." ”

Only then did Li Xin realize that there were only four of the original five internal guards.

Li Xin reluctantly sat up straight on the horse, hugged his fists at Wang Mo and said, "It's dragging Brother Wang down." ”

Wang Mo shook his head slightly: "When Wang first joined the Praetorian Guard, he didn't know how to ride horses, and he suffered a lot in order to learn to ride a horse. ”

When he said this, he glanced at the southwest direction, and said in a deep voice: "Hou Ye Li is surrounded by good equestrian players, and it is estimated that he has run out of a short distance at this time, let's follow quickly, don't get separated." ”

Li Xin nodded slightly.

The purpose of his trip to southern Xinjiang is very complicated, the general of the Zhu State must not want him to follow, if he can't keep up with the team and gets lost, Li Shen will definitely not wait for him.

As for the emperor's decree, it can be unveiled in one sentence.

The remnants of southern Xinjiang are in turmoil, the military situation is urgent, and the marquis is in a hurry, and he has no time to wait for a young man who does not know equestrianism.

With just this sentence, Li Xin didn't even have a chance to return the favor.

At that moment, Wang Mo took the lead in the front, and the other three people guarded Li Xin's left and right and rear, and the four people surrounded Li Xin in the middle and chased in the southwest direction.

This chase is a whole day.

When the sun set and the sky was completely dark, Wang Mo stopped in front of a post station, he went to look at the mark left at the door of the post station, turned back to Li Xin and said: "Captain Li, Master Li, they should be staying in this post station tonight, let's go in too." ”

Li Xin nodded reluctantly and jumped off the big black horse.

After running all day, this big dark horse is still in good spirits, but Li Xin is a little sluggish, anyone who just learns to ride a horse and runs wild all day will not be able to stand it.

As soon as he jumped off the big black horse, he felt that his legs were weak and his inner thighs were hot and painful.

It's a horse mill.

People who ride horses all year round will have a layer of calluses on their thighs, but Li Xin obviously didn't, he rode all day, and the skin on his thighs has been worn out.

The big man Wang Mo stretched out his hand to support Li Xin, so as not to let the young lieutenant fall to the ground.

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "It's a shame for Yu Linwei, Brother Wang doesn't want to laugh." ”

Wang Mo lowered his head and said softly: "Hou Ye Li has walked at least two hundred miles in one day, such a long distance, a person who rides a horse all year round may not be able to eat, Captain Li's appearance is normal." ”

The 200-mile road is probably the physical limit of ordinary horses, and if you want to run farther, you have to change horses to complete it.

When he got off the horse just now, except for Li Xin's big black horse, the horses of Wang Mo and the others were constantly spewing white gas, and if they ran any further, they would hurt the horses.

Wang Mo helped Li Xin, walked to the door of the post station, and said in a low voice: "Even if the affairs in southern Xinjiang are very urgent, it will not be such a run, and after running for such a day today, the horses will not be able to run far tomorrow, Master Li...... I wanted to get rid of Captain Li. ”

Wang Mo is a martial artist, and what he can see, Li Xin naturally won't fail to see.

In fact, Li Xin really wanted to be thrown off by this Pingnan Marquis, so that he could go back to the capital and live comfortably, but Colonel Li knew very well that if he couldn't even catch up with Li Shen, after returning to the capital, maybe the Seven Princes would still use him, but the Chengde Heavenly Son would not have any more saints for him.

Chengde Tianzi is only forty-five years old this year, and God knows how long he will live.

Li Xin didn't want to wait for one or two decades, and when the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he would have the ability to deal with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

Besides, it is still unknown whether the Seventh Prince can ascend the throne.

Therefore, he must grasp the Chengde Son of Heaven.

Thinking of this, Li Xin took a deep breath and said softly: "No matter what he wants to do, let's just follow him, no matter what, since Your Majesty has ordered, we must go to Southern Xinjiang." ”

A smile appeared on Wang Mo's face.

"Naturally, we won't have any problems, I'm afraid that Captain Li won't be able to stand it."

"They are all big men, what can't they stand if they suffer a little?"

Li Xin gritted his teeth: "Brother Wang, doesn't he look down on us Yu Linwei?" ”

The contradiction between the two guards has lasted for more than 30 years, but the two guards both belong to the Son of Heaven Guard, this contradiction is not sharp, at most it is a small fight between brothers, at this time Li Xin said this, but made the big man Wang Mo laugh.

"Captain Li is good, worthy of our guards, rest early tonight, and tomorrow will be the time for you to suffer."

The suffering he said was the injury on Li Xin's thigh, which was just injured today, and it wouldn't hurt particularly much, but when he woke up tomorrow morning, it would be the most sour time.

Accompanied by Wang Mo, Li Xin barely ate a few bites of food before entering a room at the post station to rest.

The environment of this post station is very bad, not to mention mosquitoes, and there are some bad smells.

Li Xin slept until midnight when he was woken up by mosquito bites, and after waking up, there was a hot pain in his thigh.

As Wang Mo said, this pain is more than ten times more painful than before sleeping.

Li Xin "hissed" and took a breath of cool air, unable to sleep anymore.

He walked out of his room, wanting to go into the courtyard to catch his breath.

The moonlight spread down, illuminating the courtyard of this post station into moon-white, and at the same time, it also illuminated a thin shadow.

Li Xin raised his head and looked at the owner of the shadow.

Pingnan Hou Li Shen.

Under the moonlight, Li Shen stood quietly in the courtyard, as if he had been waiting for Li Xin for a long time.
