Chapter 129

Early winter October.

The land of Youzhou is pale yellow.

"What a vast prairie. It's a pity that it's not summer now. The wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are gone. There are only herdsmen, cattle and sheep migrating south, and some wild animals busy preparing for the winter... "

On the prairie, Zhou Ming, who was riding on horseback, let out a sigh of regret.

In fact, the sudden outbreak of the Battle of Stone City was not what Zhou Ming expected. After participating in this battle, he was delayed for nearly two months. As a result, the withered and yellow grassland of Youzhou, There is nothing to see. The two thousand miles of grassland, a group of people can only pass by in a hurry.

However, this morning, near Yanshan Mountain, Zhou Ming reined in his horse and told Li Dazui and the others to stop in place and wait without making a sound.

It turned out that at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, he found a herd of wild horses. The wild horses in this group were exceptionally handsome, especially the horse king in the middle of the group. It was all claret red, huge in size, strong in pace, and proud in expression. Just one look, Zhou Ming Then you know that this is a thousand-mile horse, there is no one in a million, and it is rare to see.

A voice sounded in my heart: tame it, tame it!Make it your own exclusive mount.

Zhou Ming walked towards the group of horses lightly.

Seeing a herd of horses gnawing at the roots of a human coming over, there was a slight commotion.

The horse king in the middle of the group of horses also noticed Zhou Ming with his eyes, and raised his horse's head slightly. There seemed to be a trace of disdain in his eyes, and he continued to eat grass unhurriedly.

When Zhou Ming walked less than ten meters away from it, Ma Wang's gaze became unfriendly, he pawed his front hooves a few times, turned the horse's head, breathed out his nostrils, aimed at him, and suddenly rushed towards him!

"Good come!"

Seeing the horse king rushing at high speed, Zhou Ming applauded loudly, seized this opportunity, grabbed the mane on the horse's back at the moment when the horse passed by, jumped onto the horse's back with all his might, With both legs clamping the horse's belly, amidst the horse king's somewhat annoyed roar, one person and one horse entered the game of conquering and being conquered.

"Hiss law~!"

"Hoo Chi ~ Hoo ~!"

Ma Wang struggled violently and ran at a fast speed, creating violent bumps, trying to knock the human on his back; sometimes decelerating violently, sometimes raising his front hooves and standing upright, trying to throw the human on his back off .

but……

None of Ma Wang's moves had any effect. The human on horseback was like a piece of meat growing on his body. The human beings on the road had to give up after their physical strength was exhausted.

Half an hour.

an hour.

two hours.

three hours.

Ma Wang has already run for more than [-] miles at top speed, his speed has not slowed down, and his physical strength has not been exhausted yet.

Zhou Ming began to feel a little anxious. He was exhausted physically and was almost reaching his limit, but this horse king was still so stubborn and refused to give in.

It is impossible to tell him to give up taming the horse king now. It will take him at least two or three days to walk back for a distance of more than 300 miles. If he does not tame the horse king, he will ride it back quickly and wait anxiously for a long time. Li Dazui and the others will definitely not be able to resist coming to look for themselves, and this grassland is vast, if they get lost...

"Stop for me!"

Zhou Ming tightly strangled Ma Wang's neck with both hands, tightened its trachea, and reduced its breathing volume. At the same time, his eyes were red, and he let out an angry roar, forcing Ma Wang to stop.

"Stop for me!!"

"stop!!"

The veins on Zhou Ming's arms and neck bulged, and he rolled Ma Wangle's eyes with both hands. Hearing his roar, he neighed continuously, but he still refused to give in.

"Stop!"

"Ang Lulu~!"

I saw Zhou Ming slammed back with his hand, and the horse king suddenly stopped, screamed, and fell heavily to the ground, the arrogance disappeared in his eyes, and finally showed a trace of surrender and pleading.

Only then did Zhou Ming let go, and sat aside panting heavily, his heartbeat slowed down after over [-], and after a while, his face like red charcoal returned to normal.

Standing up, Ma Wang, who was gnawing hay beside him, leaned towards him actively, rubbed his face affectionately, flicked his ponytail, and snorted twice, as if to please his master.

Zhou Ming touched Ma Wang's proboscis with his hand, laughed and said, "You are red all over, have a strong temper, run like a tiger, and neigh like a dragon, why don't you just call you 'Red Dragon'!"

Chilong planed the grass, and nodded his horse's head quite humanely.

Jumping onto the horse's back, Zhou Ming smoothed its mane, patted the horse's back and said, "Chilong, hurry back, don't make them wait too long."

"Grey law ~!"

The red dragon raised its horseshoes high, happily headed in the direction it came from, turned around and returned, and finally returned to the original starting point before sunset.

Seeing Zhou Ming, Li Dazui, Chu Jingling and others who were waiting anxiously came up to meet him. Chu Jingling threw himself into his arms, beat his chest and said, "Mr. There are so many wolves on the prairie, if you don’t come back, we will really have to look for you!”

"It's okay, I'm back now."

Zhou Ming comforted her a few times, and only then did she dispel her worries.

……

mid-October.

Going south along the Yanshan Mountains, leaving the grassland, Zhou Ming and his party arrived at Shuozhou, the state capital of Youzhou.

However, in Shuozhou City, through the national liaison personnel stationed in Zihua Bookstore, Zhou Ming got a news like a bolt from the blue:
His mother, Cui Shi, was ill and was in a critical condition. Now the servants are looking for him outside, calling him to go home quickly, or he will regret it!

"Mother!"

Zhou Ming panicked, yelled, hurried back to the inn, greeted Li Dazui, Chu Jingling and the others, stepped on the red dragon horse, took a step ahead, and hurried home!
The red dragon horse galloped for more than [-] miles for three days. On the evening of the third day, Zhou Ming, who was busy with travel and dust, finally returned to his hometown in Haiping County. After dismounting, he rushed directly into Wupu, the room of his mother Cui.

When he entered the room, Zhou Ming was taken aback. His mother, Cui Shi, was sitting by the bed and eating. She seemed to be ill, but judging from her complexion, it seemed that there was nothing serious.

"Mother, I heard that you are sick, very sick, you..."

Zhou Ming walked over, squatted beside his mother Cui Shi, took her arm, and took her pulse. He was relieved immediately, the heartbeat was steady and strong, nothing happened, it was just a false alarm.

Cui threw the bowl and spoon in his hand aside, glared at Zhou Ming sullenly, and raised his hand to hit him, but saw his son's body, which had lost weight obviously, turned black under the wind and sun. His face was not as good-looking as before. He rubbed his face immediately, and said with tears like rain:
"My Jian'er! Look at the things you have done outside for more than two years. How can you be so relieved? Wei Niang is scared! You are an unfilial son, and even the vicious people of the Western Regions are afraid of you! You dare to go anywhere, and joined the army to fight, and almost lost your life... Haven't you considered your mother's feelings in your heart? If something happens to you, what should mother do?!"

She spoke angrily and urgently, and beat him hard on the shoulder twice, and said bitterly: "My mother is sick. If you don't come back if you are an unfilial son, my mother will just lie on this bed and die of illness! My mother just wants to see Look, my mother is about to die, let's see if you, an unfilial son, will wander outside and never come back!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ming suddenly realized that his mother, Cui Shi, who was always in good health, was deliberately pretending to be sick to tell him to go home quickly.

However, I haven't seen her for more than two years. Seeing that her mother Cui's body has lost weight and aged so much, she must have been worried and frightened during the two years of traveling outside. , After a long time, the body will definitely go out of order.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard the news that his mother Cui was seriously ill, he subconsciously chose to believe it.

"Mother, hit the child more. It's the child's unfilial piety that makes you worry! The child will never go away for a long time in the future. He will take good care of you at home and won't worry you anymore!"

Zhou Ming knelt in front of his mother, Cui Shi, and assured him with a face of self-blame.

"You really won't go out again?"

Cui was overjoyed, wiped the tears from his face, saw Zhou Ming Zheng nodded, hurriedly helped him up, and said with great distress: "Jian'er, you are much thinner than two years ago, and you are dark, eating outside Did you suffer a lot? Also, you didn’t suffer any injuries, did you? Take off your clothes and let my mother see if there are any scars and arrow wounds on your body? Silly son, when did my mother ask you to serve the country? You are safe and sound, and stay by Mother's side, and Mother will have nothing to ask for."

As she spoke, mother Cui's tears fell down again.

"Mother, don't worry about the baby, the baby is fine, really nothing at all."

"If you have something to do, my mother will not live! Jian'er, since you have come back, you should marry Rou'er as soon as possible, and give birth to grandchildren for your mother as soon as possible! Rou'er is already waiting for you at my Tian's house." It's been a year, and I can't delay Rou'er anymore... By the way, mother will take you to see Rou'er. will be filled with joy."

"Cousin Zihua, you're back?!"

As soon as mother Cui's words fell, a pleasantly surprised voice came from the door.

Zhou Ming turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment. In front of him, this beautiful woman in a pink skirt, elegant manners, well-dressed, shy, bright eyes and bright teeth, is her cousin Cui Rou whom she hasn't seen for more than two years?

Is this change too big?

However, looking at her baby fat face and the two iconic dimples when she smiled, Zhou Ming knew that she was his cousin Cui Rou.

It was undoubtedly her cousin Cui Rou, who was more dignified, mature, and beautiful than two years ago, and who was about to become his wife.
