"Gu Xu, take a closer look for me. Are there any white hairs on my head?" Zhao Yan asked Gu Xu beside her on the way to the stable.
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..."
"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. He carries the burden on his 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, the most important purpose of my coming to the North this time is to marry you."
Hearing the words "marry you as my wife", Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment and confirmed that she heard it correctly. Then she said leisurely: "But 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 Dahuang people, but is full of the straightforwardness of modern people in previous lives.
But Zhao Yan just accepts this straight-forward approach.
She put her arms around his neck and answered him in the affirmative with a passionate kiss.
Under her 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 must 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. "You sit in front today and I will teach you how to ride a horse."
Looking back at this, Xu is 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. Don't let go at any time." open.
“When walking at a slow pace, you can stand up straight and sit in the saddle.
"But if you want to run fast, you have to clamp the horse's back with your knees, lean forward, and make your buttocks and the saddle seem to be in contact, rising and falling with the rhythm of the horse's running...
"You are a beginner, we can take it slow first..."
Her lips were very close to his ears, and 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.
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 tense and exciting feeling.
I saw "Big Red" running wildly through the streets and alleys of Jicheng.
As if it has wisdom, it bypasses the crowds, avoids shops, crosses ditches, and crosses 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!
She hugged Gu Xu's waist tightly with her white arms, rested her whole body on his back, and 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 his new "control" power.
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 in his defeat to Taishang Haotian and ultimately his defeat in the hands of Gu Xu.
Of course, being cautious doesn’t mean not using it at all.
Gu Xu believes that he still has the necessary proficiency to deal with the "ruling" authority - 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 "ruling" 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".
After regaining his freedom, "Big Red" suddenly braked and lifted his two front hooves into 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.
The order of Dayan Military Camp stipulates that drinking 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.
