princess is everywhere

Chapter 17 War Horse

There was no one around, but the eldest princess was quite repulsive about being bathed.

Of course, this is not because Anyang has never been served and bathed. In fact, as a princess, she has never been short of servants since she was born.Eating is like this, changing clothes is like this, and bathing is naturally the same.

What makes Anyang feel repulsed is Xu Mu's gender - she is not a court lady, let alone a servant. Anyang still maintains the sense of shame that a daughter's family should have, so naturally she doesn't want a man to bathe for her.Even if the other party doesn't know her identity, even if she is just a horse now, she still wants to struggle one last time.

Although Anyang also understands that this kind of compromise may be inevitable, but struggling is the last comfort she left for herself.

With such a state of mind, when Xu Mu raised the brush to give her a bath, the white horse moved away calmly.

The little general who didn't know why naturally chased after him, and then circled back and forth in the not-deep river for several times, until Xu Mu finally understood what the white horse was thinking, and he also lost his temper: "Ru Xue, why are you hiding?" ? Are you still refusing to take a bath even in the water? Besides, there are no outsiders here, what else do you want?"

Hearing this, Anyang's ears moved, feeling somewhat guilty for no reason.Of course she knew that Xu Mu had been accommodating her time and again, and if someone else let her be willful, she would not have treated her so kindly from the very beginning.

The little general is a gentle person, but it is because she is so gentle that those who are treated with gentleness will make more progress.

The white horse paused in its steps, secretly watching the little general's face.Seeing that although she was a little annoyed, but there was not much anger in her expression, she knew that this person was still pampering her.But also because of this careful observation, Anyang discovered that Xu Mu's complexion was not very good-looking. It was not because of emotion, but simply because of being frozen.

Only now did Anyang realize that Xu Mu was different from her.Now that she has rough skin and thick flesh, she doesn't feel that the river is cold, but although Xu Mu is practicing martial arts, she is obviously afraid of the cold. It is not a good thing to stay in the cold river for so long.

This is indeed the case. It is not yet summer, and the north is a bit colder than the south.Mo Yu hadn't bathed in the river for a whole winter. In the past, he used to fetch two buckets of water in the stable, so he was very excited today.And Xu Mu brushed the horses very fast, so he decided to take the two horses to the river to wash them, but Anyang didn't cooperate.

Anyang felt even more guilty when she discovered this, she took the initiative to step forward to Xu Mu, and rubbed her head against Xu Mu's body.

Xu Mu is also really good-tempered, thinking that Anyang was willing to come over after being scolded by him, he couldn't help but relax.With a cold face on purpose, she patted the horse's neck: "Okay, take a bath."

An Yang's body froze when she heard this, but since she took the initiative to approach, it's not easy to go back on her word again.Seeing Xu Mu pick up water from a bucket and sprinkle it on her body, she turned her face on sexually, intending to be out of sight and out of mind, and at the same time hypnotize herself in her heart - don't think too much, don't think too much, just treat it as being raped. The palace maid waited for her to take a bath, anyway, it was not the first time she was watched by others.

Of course Xu Mu didn't know what Anyang was thinking. Seeing her shyly turning her head away, she couldn't help laughing, and teased while brushing the horse: "It's the first time I've seen a shy horse like you like Xue. Don't you have to avoid other horses?"

Anyang ignored her, and turned a blind eye to Mo Yu who looked over from the bank from time to time, obviously not caring.

Seeing that the horses are well-behaved, Xu Mu is not slow to brush the horses, but he always likes to talk to the horses while washing the horses.Anyang listened to each sentence without saying a word, and she didn't feel pain when scrubbing her body with a rough brush. On the contrary, she felt that her strength was quite comfortable.Gradually, the horse's body relaxed, until Xu Mu finished brushing the horse's back and began to brush the horse's buttocks and legs.

Anyang unconsciously took another two steps away, feeling that the whole horse was going to burn, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't add more.

Seeing that she was going to hide again, Xu Mu patted the horse's buttocks: "Okay, it's almost finished washing, so don't hide."

Anyang gritted his teeth in annoyance, under shame, he really wanted to turn around and bite her.

Xu Mu obviously didn't notice the anger of a horse, she moved slowly, and after a while she sighed to herself: "Sixue, don't be annoyed, I don't know if I'll have to wait until I give you a bath next time." What day will it be?" At this point, she stopped completely: "Yesterday, there was news in the army that the barbarians in the north have begun to mobilize troops, and I'm afraid there will be a war in a few days."

Anyang didn't expect such news to come after taking a bath, and he was stunned.She also ignored the previous embarrassment, and when she looked back at Xu Mu, her eyes were full of worry.

Xu Mu is a good person, not to mention that she now depends on her to live a stable life, and she doesn't want her to be in danger from the bottom of her heart.

But what can I do?Xu Mu is a soldier, and after being a military general, it is not for nothing that everyone calls her a little general.Once a war breaks out, she will definitely go to the battlefield, and most of them will be the first soldiers!

If the war goes wrong, if something happens to Xu Mu... Anyang can't imagine.

Because of Xu Mu's words, Anyang was in a daze for a while afterwards.Even when Xu Mu washed the horse all over her body, and even lifted the horse's tail to see it, she didn't react for a while.

After washing the horse and returning to the river bank, Xu Mu shivered coldly, and hurriedly dried his feet and put on his shoes and socks.

"The water is quite cold, I think it will be fine next time." Xu Mu muttered, turned his head to see the white horse's sleepy look, and smiled again: "What's the matter with you like Xue, maybe you were frightened by my words?" Don't worry? Don't worry, you are not a war horse, so I won't take you to the battlefield this time."

That said, but Xu Mu obviously didn't care much about comforting her, because she didn't think that the white horse could really understand what she said - after all, a horse is not a human being, and spirituality is one thing, and she can understand every sentence That's probably a monster.She would tell Baima these things only because she had no idea in her heart and had no other place to confide in.

However, what Xu Mu didn't expect was that although her horse was not mature, it contained a human soul.Of course Anyang can understand her words, not only can understand her words, but also worry about her, and at the same time, he doesn't feel that he should be very lucky.

If, if I can also go to the battlefield...

This idea flashed in Anyang's mind, and she immediately gave up.Not to mention her royal highness, the princess, who has never seen the bloody battle in this life, even if she really had to bite the bullet, how could she help?

Anyang is not a heartless person, Xu Mu has helped her a lot, and of course she wants to do her best to give back.But thinking about his own abilities and the current situation, I am afraid that even going to the battlefield would be a disservice.So she turned her eyes and stared at Mo Yu beside her. For the first time, she took the initiative to get closer and told it: "You are a mature war horse, and you must bring your master back when the time comes."

It's a pity that Mo Yu couldn't understand her instructions, and she tilted her head to respond, but she didn't know what she was talking about.

The two horse chickens talked with ducks for a while, but Anyang didn't understand what Mo Yu was saying, and Mo Yu obviously didn't understand either.But it doesn't matter, Mo Yu is obviously very happy to see that the horse has been indifferent and indifferent these few days, and even took the initiative to join Anyang.

From Xu Mu's point of view, the two horses exchanged something, "Xi Lv Lv" yelled for a while, and then Mo Yu moved closer to Si Xue, as if she wanted to move her head to show her intimacy.As a result, the white horse didn't want to talk to it at all, rolled its eyes and moved aside, quite dismissive.

Anyang felt that Mo Yu was a bit stupid and couldn't communicate at all.Xu Mu looked a little amused, and even stroked Moyu's mane to tease him: "It's okay, Moyu, if it doesn't work this time, next time, it's not easy to please a girl."

As a war horse raised by Xu Mu himself, Mo Yu could understand Xu Mu's simple instructions, and could also cooperate well when Xu Mu was riding.But in the final analysis, it was just a horse, and it couldn't really understand all Xu Mu's words, let alone such teasing.So it was a little discouraged by the white horse's dodging just now, but when it heard Xu Mu's words, it was immediately diverted, and wanted to wash its master's face again.

Xu Mu didn't really want to accept this enthusiasm, so he avoided it by mistake.

Anyang watched this person making a fuss, and his originally heavy heart also unknowingly relaxed a little.

She thought maybe she was too worried.After all, Xu Mu is also a small general. After being the main general of this army, it is impossible for him to be surrounded by no one to protect him when he first enters the battlefield.Even though there are not a few military generals shrouded in horse leather, it is certainly not such a young Xu Mu.

After thinking about it and convincing himself, Anyang's footsteps became much lighter.

She followed Xu Mu and Mo Yu, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, and returned to the vibrant military camp.

Xu Mu said that the war was approaching. Although Anyang was worried for a while, he quickly put the matter in his heart - whether it is the high princess, or a horse now, the war seems to be far away from her.

But it turns out that at the border, war has never been out of reach.

Since Xu Mu took them out for a run that day and bathed the two horses, she spent less and less time in the stables.The person who took care of Anyang and Moyu became a horse slave in the small stable.Although they also clean the stables, take care of the horses' food and drink, and even massage the muscles of the horses that can't run often, Anyang doesn't like their approach at all.

The white horse became irritable again. Given her great achievements in bringing down the stables before, the slaves didn't dare to push too much.As a result, the white horse was more and more "left out" in the small stable, but it was obviously impossible for the little general to come and take care of it himself.

When Xu Mu reappeared in the small stable, he was already in full armor.

Anyang stared blankly at the appearance of the young general, and suddenly realized what was going to happen.

Sure enough, Xu Mu didn't pay more attention to the white horse this time, she went straight to Moyu, patted its neck: "Moyu, you are also three years old, you have trained with me for so long It's been a while, it's time for us to go to the battlefield."

Mo Yu didn't know if he understood her words, so he raised his head meekly and rubbed her palm.

Xu Mu smiled, and led the black horse out of the stable, put a full saddle on it, and then turned over and jumped onto the horse's back.It wasn't until before she left that she took a look at the white horse's stable and waved to her: "Ru Xue, wait for me at home."

After saying this, the little general flicked the reins and ran away, leaving only Anyang with a tall and straight back.

Anyang became restless again, pacing non-stop, never feeling so worried.However, no one had time to pay attention to her at this time, Xu Mu had no time, and neither did the slaves in the small stable.

The scale of this battle was probably not small, and almost all the horses in the small stable were taken away by the generals' personal soldiers.Together with the slaves, they had to follow to take care of the war horses, and suddenly there was only the white horse, the only wild horse that had not been tamed, left in the small stable.

The trough was filled with fodder, and the water tank was filled with water, enough for the white horse to eat for a few days.

Anyang didn't feel that the entire barracks was empty, and she didn't worry that she would be left alone after the slaves left, but her mood was still visibly depressed.Later, she bit off the rein and went out for a walk, but it was a pity that her little general could not be found in the much empty barracks, so she returned to the familiar stable while no one noticed.

In the evening, impatient to eat those unpalatable forages, Anyang also found a place to store soybeans, added a meal for himself, and ate a small half of the apples that the slaves used to reward the horses.

After walking around to fill his stomach, he went back to the small stable, still alone.

Anyang walked back to his stable, lay down on the clean hay, looked at the dark sky outside the stable, felt an indescribable emptiness in his heart for a moment—even if he experienced the absurdity of changing from a human to an animal, even if he appeared as a stranger In an unfamiliar environment, she didn't panic much.Because she was always taken in and taken care of properly within a very short period of time.

But now it is different, Xu Mu started her own journey, and she stepped into the dangerous and unpredictable battlefield.

This made Anyang realize for the first time that he relied on Xu Mu sincerely, and there was a trust that no one else could replace.

There was silence in the stables shrouded in night, but the white horse lying on the haystack had not been able to fall asleep for a long time. She looked at the night sky and thought: there is not even a star tonight, and tomorrow will definitely not be a good weather.

What kind of battle do you fight in such bad weather?What if she breaks her little general?
