This sleeve is broken secretly

Autumn is crisp and clear, and since the day when Sheng Jia arrived at the paddock, it has been a great weather with clear blue sky. At this time, the water in the hunting ground is clear, the grass is luxuriant, and the wild animals are fat. It is a good season for hunting.On the early morning of August [-]th, since the dew outside the tent was still hitting the tops of the grass, the long horns blew across the entire grassland thousands of miles away.By the time the sun rose and the morning mist cleared, the sounds of people wanting to drink, galloping horseshoes and howling hounds echoed one after another in a radius of tens of miles.

Today, Emperor Hongwu will invite a group of tribal leaders to hunt together.But I saw banners fluttering in front of the camp, and the people who came and went were prairie men who were much taller and more powerful than the Central Plains people.They wore the riding clothes of a few tribes, with colorful belts tied around their waists, and they were as strong as wolves and tigers, making people afraid to approach them.

It is very painful to ride horses and hunt together with this group of prairie people.These men grew up on horseback since they were young, and their riding and shooting skills are extremely superb. In addition, they are determined to compete with the people of the Central Plains.

The day before, Shen Yan was originally driving with Emperor Hongwu's guards, but after running for a long time, he was dizzy and even his horse was startled three or four times by the group of prairie men.Emperor Hongwu laughed at him about "the people in the south of the Yangtze River are so weak", but finally he kindly let him not have to accompany him today.

Not having to follow between the prairie people and the guards to watch them fight fiercely, Shen Bing's mind finally relaxed a lot.After Emperor Hongwu led a large army out of the camp and left in a mighty way, he led his horse and walked to the other side of the paddock.

The beasts in the entire paddock were driven to the northeast corner by the guards with the hounds, and the south was very quiet, not even the sound of a moving animal could be heard.Shen Yuxin's horse reined in and walked on the pasture in the forest. When he looked around, he saw that the sky was like a dome, covering the surrounding fields, and the grass was green and boundless, and the grass was like waves.It seemed that he and his horse were the only ones left in the world, wandering freely in this seemingly static scenery.

After a while, Shen Bing came to a river beach.But I saw the bottomless stream gurgling from afar, flowing through the green grass, forming a small island.Seeing the clarity of the water, Shen Bing couldn't help being happy, jumped off the horse, threw off his shoes and socks, and dived into the water barefoot.Perhaps after being exposed to the sun for a long time, the water is actually warm, and it is very comfortable to flow over the instep.Shen Bing sat on the bluestone by the bank, and fell asleep after a while.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly a long low laugh sounded from above his head: "Whose family's Anzhi Tinglan is so young?"

Shen Bing opened his eyes suddenly.

Xie Qin stood in front of him with his back to the light, his slender and tall figure was outlined in a golden circle by the sun.His white riding uniform was tight and close-fitting, which further matched his broad shoulders, waist and slender legs, but a corner of the hem was already stained by mud spots, as if he had just galloped for a while.

The young man was wearing clothes that had been stained by the wind and dust, and looked down at him with a smile, his eyes were shining with a brightness that he could not find but found again.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yan raised his hand to block the glare of the sun.

"The emperor mentioned your stinky riding skills just now, and a group of people were laughing. When I saw you were not there, I knew you were hiding away, so I followed the trail and chased you."

Shen Bing was a little embarrassed.As a civil servant, he grew up in a water village, so it is normal that he is not good at horseback kung fu.But being singled out by Emperor Hongwu to joke in front of all the officials still made people blush.

Seeing that his ears were secretly smudged red, Xie Ling squatted down with a smile, reached out and grabbed Shen Bing's ankle, and put his wet soles on his knees.

Shen Teng twitched his legs in shock, but was held down by Xie Ling, lifted the hem of his clothes and carefully wiped his soles clean, and helped him put on his shoes and socks.

The skin washed by mountain spring water is as thin as agar. As a southerner, Shen Bi has slender and delicate hands and feet. When exposed to the sun, it looks like jade like snow.Xie Ling grabbed his ankle with one hand, and finally understood what it meant to say "the feet on the clogs are like frost, and there are no crow's socks" ("Yue Nu Ci" Li Bai), and he was full of thoughts for a while.

Finally finished dressing, Xie Qin got up and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Shen Bing hesitated: "Where are you going?"

"Teach you how to ride and shoot, I thank Rangzhi's friend, it's too embarrassing if you can't even ride a horse well in training."

Shen Yan was startled and hurriedly said: "No need, I—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his waist tighten and lighten, and the next moment, Xie Ling had already jumped onto the horse's back in his arms.Shen Yan cursed in a low voice and struggled to get off the horse, but was fixed tightly in front of him by Xie Ling, unable to move.With a whistle, the steed flew out like an arrow from the string, and dissipated into the wind with Xie Yin's wanton laughter: "This is too much for you!"

The two rode together on the same horse, and when galloping on the vast grassland, it was like riding a boat through the waves, criss-crossing the wind, waves and grass waves.Xie Ling urged the horse to gallop, ran to the place where he could enjoy himself, and whistled and laughed heartily in Shen's ear, like the chirping of an eagle going straight to the sky, resounding through the gate.

"Liangqing!" He shouted against the wind, "Shen Liangqing! Shen Bing——"

He was like a boy who was so happy that he couldn't help but yell a few times. He was really naive to the extreme.Shen Bing knew that he should despise him for his promiscuity and disregard of etiquette, but in this scene of open sky and open fields, he couldn't help laughing, and asked loudly: "What are you doing!"

Xie Ling didn't speak any more, just smiled lowly and stuck his chin on Shen Bing's shoulder, rubbing it affectionately.

The two of them raced for a while, and finally slowed down, and then Xie Ling seriously began to teach him how to ride a horse.

"First of all, you can't be afraid of it. The animal horse is also very clever. If he senses that you are not good at riding, he won't listen to you." Xie Ling patted Shen Ting's waist and legs unceremoniously, " Look at your body, it's as hard as a board, can you relax a bit?"

People on horseback had to bow their heads.Shen Yiyan tried his best to relax his back, and now he leaned his whole body into Xie Ling's arms.

The corner of Xie Ling's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, coughed lightly, and continued: "You know the most basic things, and now the main thing is to master a rhythm. You can see that the ups and downs of this horse are regular when it runs. If you don't follow its rhythm, or don't take the initiative to guide it, you will naturally be confused. Well, you can feel it yourself now."

Shen Ting has always respected his teacher, seeing that Xie Ling taught him seriously, he did not doubt that he started to study seriously.He relaxed the strength of his waist and legs, and his waist rose and fell with the horse's back, concentrating on comprehending the rhythm and law Xie Ling said.

"That's right, isn't this very well done? Come on, up and down, up and down..." Xie Qin supported Shen Bing's waist with one hand, and said with a smile, "Up and down——"

Shen Bing felt that his tone was different, and when he lowered his head in a daze, he found that the two of them were close together at some point, and he was always in Xie Jin's arms - ups and downs.

"Thank you!"

Shen Bing was furious.

"What's the matter?" Xie Ling hurriedly said innocently, "Didn't I teach you this?"

Shen Yuhan said: "Go down, I will ride a horse by myself."

Xie Jin shouted: "Oh, when I took you out just now, the other horse didn't know where it went. Where do you want me to go now? Are you running behind on foot?"

Shen Yan was so angry that his chest was stuffy, he straightened his back and said angrily: "I told you the word respect, if you don't take it to heart, I will—"

"Okay, okay, I understand, but I'm not used to it." Seeing that he was really angry, Xie Qin hurriedly begged for mercy, "What I just said is not lying to you, you can experience it yourself, I won't make trouble is you."

After a while, the two ran into a pine forest.Xie Ling pulled the rein to slow down the horse's speed, looked around and searched, and after a while, he gave a soft "shh-" and raised his hand to take off the longbow behind his back.

Shen Bing followed his gaze, and he saw a reddish-brown wild fox squatting in the grass not far away. Perhaps it had escaped from the hounds before, and it was itching leisurely at this moment, unaware that it was far away. The hunter who is already approaching.

Xie Ling picked up the bow and set the arrow, held Shen's hands on the string and the bow separately, and guided him to draw the string with three fingers and slowly draw the bow to the side of the cheek, the arrow pointed at the fox's head.

Because he wanted to aim, the tip of Xie Ling's nose leaned against Shen Bing's side face, and his hot and moist breath hit Shen Bing's lips, making him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"do not move."

Xie Ling only held Shen Bing's slight struggle with all his strength, and blew two words into his ear.

"Look at the fur of this little fox...does it look like the collar of your cloak?"

whoosh-

When the words fell, the arrow pierced through the air, like cutting the wind and splitting the brocade, and hit the fox's head with a "嘙".Shen Yan was shaken by the aftertaste of the bowstring of this hard bow so that half of his arm went numb, and the three fingers pulling the string could not be bent for a long time.

Xie Jin jumped off the horse, ran over to pick up the prey, and turned back with a smile: "Oh, it seems that winter can add another layer of fur to your cloak."

His smile is too bright.Shen Bing blushed inexplicably, coughed lightly, and looked sideways.

"Tut tsk tsk——" Xie Ling stood under the horse, raised his hand to take Shen Bing's red and swollen fingers from being strangled by the bowstring, and sighed, "My Liangqing is really not a man who plays with knives and guns."

Shen Yan was a little displeased by what he said, frowned and said: "If you study hard, I can—"

"I know." Xie Qin smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"But you just have to sit firmly in the court and point your finger at the country. If you shoot straight away, don't you still have me?"
