Chapter 24 Equestrian Training Class

At dawn, Zhao Chengping went to the posthouse to find Qiao Yu and tell her about being attacked, but the servant said that she had already gone to the racecourse early in the morning.

At this time, there were many people in the racecourse, and even Wang Ji was there. Those people were gathered together, not knowing what they were looking at. Zhao Chengping squeezed into the crowd and looked up. In the distance, a line of dust and smoke led the way forward. Then several more followed.

Not long after, the horses came back, and Zhao Chengping realized that the person riding on the white horse was Qiao Yu. Khan's face is more attractive.

She also saw Zhao Chengping in the crowd, smiling and galloping towards him, stopping beside him:

"Are you interested in taking a ride?"

Zhao Chengping shook his head:

"I have something to tell you."

Qiao Yu got off the horse, handed the reins to the groom beside him, and talked about what happened last night with Zhao Chengping. Wang Ji looked very happy, but he didn't expect Zhao Chengping to make such a quick move, and he had already put this cold legend The woman surrendered.

"Are you injured?" Hearing that Zhao Chengping was attacked at night, Qiao Yu asked anxiously, looking him up and down.

Embarrassed by her look, Zhao Chengping hurriedly said: "No, his skill is not as good as mine, but he always comes a few times in the middle of the night, which is really annoying. If one day they decide to use poison, wouldn't I Even eating and drinking has to be done by yourself, so it's better to solve it as soon as possible."

Qiao Yu nodded and asked, "Do you doubt Wang Ji?"

"I have no conflict of interest with him now, no."

"Then who else have you offended? Who in Zhao State?"

"Probably not. Mr. Pingyuan also knows that I didn't want to stay in Qin, but he kept me in Qin."

Qiao Yu thought about it again: "He knows that he left you in Qin, but do his subordinates know?"

"Uh..." Zhao Chengping was at a loss for words, it's hard to say about this matter, if those bloody, brainless people got excited and really regarded themselves as the ones who betrayed Zhao Guo and Lord Pingyuan, then Whatever they do is normal.But thinking about it carefully, Zhao Chengping shook his head again:
"I saw from the memories of those killers that the person who gave them instructions was a person hidden behind the curtain, and I have never heard that voice. If it was Mr. Pingyuan or the other disciples who did it, it should be Not so sneaky.”

After thinking for a long time but still having no clue, Wang Ji came over and said:
"Are you two whispering? Let's go to my house. I'm so happy today. These twenty good horses are really timely."

Only twenty horses?Zhao Chengping looked at Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu said, "Qin has no cavalry, and these twenty horses are for scouts."

"That's right, with these twenty good horses and BMWs, the speed of exploring the enemy's situation will be much faster."

Zhao Chengping suddenly thought of Liu Quan, and said to Wang Ji:
"Liu Quan, who took me to the Captain's Mansion last time, I think he handles things carefully and has ideas. Although he is thin, but now that he has a good horse, he should also be a good candidate for scouting."

"Liu Quan?" Wang Ji looked at him in confusion, searched for the name in his mind, but couldn't remember it, and someone reminded him, "It's the thin man guarding the door."

"Oh, it's him." Wang Ji was still very puzzled, "He's been in my house for a long time, and he didn't realize that he still has this ability, but I haven't heard that he can ride a horse?"

"In case he does, Mr. Wang should give him a chance." Zhao Chengping smiled.

Wang Ji nodded in doubt, and announced loudly that three days later, a horse trial meeting would be held, at which time forty best equestrians would be selected from the army as elite scouts.

----

"I've never ridden a horse, and my poor family has no chance to practice." Hearing the news of the upcoming selection, Liu Quan was very embarrassed.

Zhao Chengping patted him on the shoulder: "There is always a first time, and there are still ten days. As long as you are not stupid, you can always learn."

"But, I don't have a horse..."

"As long as I'm here, are you worried about not having a horse?" Zhao Chengping's mouth curled up slightly.

In the evening, after Liu Quan got off duty, he sneaked to the horse farm. The regular soldiers had finished their training for the day. There was only one groom on the horse farm adding fodder to the trough. Zhao Chengping and Qiao Yu were already waiting there. .

"Oh, let the two adults wait for me, this is really..." Liu Quan rubbed his hands.

"Stop talking nonsense and get on the horse." Qiao Yu had already led out the gentlest horse, with all the harnesses and even stirrups.Zhao Chengping looked at Qiao Yu:

"Cheated?"

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't seem to be innocent either."

Liu Quan, who was riding a horse for the first time, was trembling: "I... what should I do next..."

Qiao Yu looked up at him: "Hold the horse with your legs, grab the reins, are you ready?"

"What?" Liu Quan was now stiff.

"drive!"

"Wow!!!"

Qiao Yu raised his hand and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the war horse galloped forward in pain. Liu Quan exclaimed, then calmed down quickly, and ran straight for a long distance.

Until the sky was full of stars, he had initially mastered the essentials of the movements. Although the movements were still clumsy, the basic movements, such as starting, stopping, turning the horse's head, etc., were already in shape.

"How is it? I have good eyesight, right?" Zhao Chengping looked at Liu Quan who was riding his horse galloping in the night with his hands behind his back.

Qiao Yu turned to look at him, under the light of the torches in the racecourse, with a straight nose and raised eyebrows.

"So lovely."

Zhao Chengping was puzzled: "Huh?"

"It's nothing." Qiao Yu lowered her head to hide her feverish face. Unfortunately, the light was too dim, so Zhao Chengping didn't notice it.

There was a gust of evening wind on the racecourse, and Qiao Yu realized that her clothes were a little thin, and the wind blew through her clothes, making her skin chill.She had just crossed her arms to keep warm when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders.

She was taken aback, and found that it was the big coat that Zhao Chengping was wearing just now. When the wind picked up just now, he had taken it off and put it on her body.

"You..." Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Chengping still looked at Liu Quan's direction: "It was already late when I came out, and I thought it might be cold in the open space, but I didn't expect that my skill has increased so much that I would get self-heating, and it really burns my heart to wear it. I will need it more, hold it for me."

Qiao Yu felt a warmth in her heart, and gave a soft "um".

The two stood side by side under the starry sky, and Qiao Yu suddenly felt that the man beside him might be worth relying on.Involuntarily leaning towards him again, Zhao Chengping made a mistake:
"What, is it still cold?"

He reached out and hugged her shoulders: "Either we go back."

Qiao Yu pointed to Liu Quan: "He's still on the horse."

"I think he rides quite well. After a while, he will go back by himself after having enough fun. Anyway, the horse has a groom to take care of it." Zhao Chengping glanced in Liu Quan's direction again.

The next day, when Zhao Chengping saw Liu Quan again, he was still standing at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion. Zhao Chengping asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Liu Quan looked at him with a sad face: "My butt hurts. I went back yesterday and a big piece of skin was worn out."

Zhao Chengping suddenly remembered: "Did you sit on the saddle with your butt?"

"Yes."

Oh no... It seems that I forgot to tell him yesterday that riding a horse is supposed to clamp the horse's body, and the buttocks basically don't lean on the saddle. Uh, I planned to tell him, but why did I forget.

Looking at Liu Quan's appearance, Zhao Chengping didn't dare to admit that he forgot to tell him, so he could only pretend to say:
"Ah, don't always sit on the saddle next time, just put some thick cloth on it, and continue practicing tonight."

Although Liu Quan gritted his teeth in pain, but thinking that he could become a soldier and make contributions, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

This time, Qiao Yu gave Liu Quan serious advice. Liu Quan's understanding was very strong, and he worked hard, so he made great progress very quickly. Zhao Chengping asked in a low voice, "Do you think he has something to play?"

Looking at his figure on the horse, Qiao Yu thought for a while: "Although he is still far from what I want, he should be considered good among the Qin army, no problem."

After the practice, Zhao Chengping brought Qiao Yu and Liu Quan back to the Captain's Mansion. Liu Quan stood at the door in shock:
"This...what is this place?"

Bixiao and Hongling's major transformation of the Captain's Mansion made Liu Quan unrecognizable, Zhao Chengping smiled: "Follow me carefully, if you take a wrong step here, you will fall into a trap."
