"What kind of sound is this? It's so terrifying!" A bandit asked tremblingly, holding a rusty iron knife in his hand.
"What a fuss. If I'm right, this should be the sound of a large number of cavalry running on horseback." An older and more knowledgeable bandit replied.
"What's going on? How come there are so many cavalry passing by?" Gao Chengxiang looked at Zhao Yuanchun with fear and asked.
"I don't know. Isn't the Dog Court fighting against the rebels recently? Now that the whole of Hunan has been conquered by the rebels, the Dog Court shouldn't have so many cavalry here!" Zhao Yuanchun also expressed his incomprehension. .
"It's better not to make any mistakes. Mr. Zhao, please go up and kill her now, so as not to cause any accidents if you delay!" Gao Chengxiang ordered anxiously.
"Okay, Master Gao. I'll be there right away." After Zhao Yuanchun said that, he picked up the knife in his hand and started to walk over.
At this moment, the sound is getting closer and closer. Many bandits could not help but hold the knives in their hands tightly and tremble.
The strong sound came overwhelmingly, like a flash flood.
"Haha, Shitou, you are too slow, hurry up..." At this time, Zhang Rui was riding on a running horse, shouting happily.
Zhang Rui had never ridden a horse before traveling through time. At most, he only took photos with horses in scenic spots. Zhang Liu can't even talk about riding a horse. He has only heard about horses but has never seen them.
Due to his own needs, Zhang Rui learned to ride horses seriously, and he never had time to practice riding skills. Therefore, Zhang Rui's riding skills cannot be said to be superb. Zhang Rui usually walks slowly when riding a horse, so as not to fall off the horse and lose face.
Now on this sparsely populated official road, the road is not only spacious but also smooth. Although Zhang Rui is a time traveler and a leader of a party, he has never ridden a horse before, and it is inevitable that he has a childish mentality at this moment.
"Wait...Brother Six, wait for us..." At this moment, Liu Shitou was riding a horse and calling after Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui turned around and smiled at him and said, "You guys! Why are your riding skills worse than mine?"
"Brother Six, this...I...have never ridden a horse before!" The jolting of the horse made Liu Shitou's words somewhat unfluent.
"Haha, I've never ridden before. Aren't we all the same? You still need to practice more." Zhang Rui continued to look back and said with a smile.
"Sixth Brother is right. However, Sixth Brother is a genius. I am just an ordinary mortal and cannot be compared." Although Liu Shitou answered like this, he always kept a small distance from Zhang Rui. .
"Stone, don't underestimate yourself. All people are created equal, and I am just an ordinary mortal. Practice makes perfect, remember..." Zhang Rui turned around and taught seriously.
"Yes, Sixth Brother, I will remember it!" Liu Shitou replied.
Suddenly, he looked forward and shouted to Zhang Rui: "Brother Six, there is a sharp bend ahead, go slowly."
After hearing Liu Shitou's words, Zhang Rui quickly turned around and looked forward.
Indeed, there is a blind spot with a sharp ninety-degree turn ahead. If you pass too quickly, you may not be able to stop if something happens ahead and an accident may occur.
"Everyone, please slow down your horses..." Zhang Rui turned around and ordered loudly.
"yes…"
"As commanded..."
The cavalrymen following Zhang Rui began to pull on the horse ropes to slow down their horses.
The people behind Zhang Rui were far away, so they could naturally pull the horse and slowly slow it down. However, Zhang Rui, who was running in front, was already at the corner. Even if he wanted to pull the horse rope quickly to slow down the horse, it would not work.
If the horse rope is pulled forcefully, not only will the horse be injured, but with Zhang Rui's three-legged cat riding skills, he will also fall off the horse and be injured. If he is unlucky and falls off his horse and dies, then it is really true that the late emperor collapsed midway through his inheritance.
The key is that he wants to be the late emperor but can't because he doesn't have a son to succeed him. By then, the bandit-suppression force that was in good shape might collapse because of Zhang Rui's death, and many people would die because of Zhang Rui. This would be a great sin.
Therefore, Zhang Rui did not dare to pull the horse's rope by force. He could only pull the horse's rope slowly and let the horse pass at its speed.
"Why is there a mass of red in front of me?"
As the horse turned sharply, Zhang Rui had not yet clearly seen what was going on ahead. I just saw a pedestrian wearing red clothes standing in front of me not far from the turning intersection.
"Xu..."
In order not to hit pedestrians, Zhang Rui could only hold the horse's rope and scream.
"hiss……"
Under Zhang Rui's strength, the sitting horse finally stopped in front of the pedestrian in red. The pain caused it to scream so much that it had to raise its hooves to relieve Zhang Rui's strength.
Seeing that the horse was finally pulled to a stop, Zhang Rui quickly loosened the tight rope. He patted the neighing horse's neck distressedly, caressing and comforting it.
"Oh, as expected, you can't race a car when you make a sharp turn... Oh, no, you can't race a horse." Zhang Rui patted the horse's neck and sighed.
"I'm really sorry for frightening you. Are you okay?" Zhang Rui then turned to the pedestrians in front of the horse and asked.
At this glance, Zhang Rui was suddenly attracted to this passerby in red and froze.
At this moment, this woman wearing a red brocade embroidered skirt was looking at him with tears on her face as she kept wiping her hands with her hands.
Although her beautiful face is not painted with makeup, it still makes people look stunning. Her hands were like catkins, her skin was like gelatin, and her movements were so charming. The gorgeous red Han-style brocade clothes and belts are dancing gracefully in the gentle breeze. They look so beautiful that they are so beautiful that they are so bright that they cannot be compared to other objects.
Whether it's her moving figure or her beautiful face, or her long hair shawl, or even the gorgeous clothes she's wearing. This made Zhang Rui greedily want to look at her more.
Especially when he saw her natural feet, Zhang Rui nodded secretly without knowing it, as if he saw something that was irreplaceable for perfection.
It is not that Zhang Rui has not come into contact with women since he came to this era, but most of the people he came into contact with were due to various malnutrition when they were young and looked like quite ordinary village girls.
These girls really made Zhang Rui reluctant to waste his precious first time. In addition, the busyness of various things consumed most of his energy, so he had no time to think too much.
There were also some rich people who wanted to donate their own money to serve Zhang Rui, but Zhang Rui felt uncomfortable after seeing the three-inch golden lotus that could be grasped by those rich people, so he declined their kindness.
At this moment, Zhang Rui suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his heart naturally. It was wonderful and indescribable, giving him a sweet and thoughtful feeling. The joy made him feel happy all over.
"Is this the feeling of love at first sight?" Zhang Rui asked secretly in his heart.
