Yan Wuji was lying in the military tent, and Xiao Tongzi was sitting on the side peeling apples for him.

It has been half a month since he left Chang'an, and he has traveled less than a hundred miles in this half month.

The left and right generals are in charge of escorting, they are soldiers brought out by Xingxing Lake, they are both Confucian generals and loyal.

Everyone in the barracks was full of talents, Yan Wuji learned a lot, and sent some things back to the palace almost every other day, such as the grasshoppers he wove and the woodcarvings he made.

He originally thought that these things would touch Sima Yao's longing, so that elder brother Yao came to accompany him to Mount Tai, but the response he got was all modest words.

Yan Wuji continued to do nothing, and began to suffer from horse-sickness. The army could only suspend its advance and stay where it was, waiting for the emperor to recover.

This is an extremely willful move, and it will definitely wear down the loyalty of the general, but Yan Wuji wanted to take a gamble, but unfortunately he lost the bet, Sima Yao wrote to him, asking him to take care of his health.

Yan Wuji knew that Sima Yao would not accompany him to Mount Tai.

After understanding this point, it would be meaningless for him to press down on the marching speed.

So Yan Wuji approached the left and right generals and expressed his wish to learn how to ride a horse.

The left and right generals laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, you should take the carriage. All the horses here are military horses, but there are no rouge horses in the palace."

"I'm not joking. The military situation is extremely urgent, and the speed of the carriage is too slow. Give me a horse, and we will speed up the march."

All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay. It was the little emperor who was suffering from horse-drawn carriage and could not travel five miles in a day. Now it is the little emperor who said that the military situation is urgent and needs to travel a hundred miles a day.

No one takes it seriously, but it's not good to openly disobey the Holy Order.

So a young mare appeared in front of Yan Wuji.

The coach who trained the horse said: "Your Majesty, this horse has a gentle temperament and will not throw people off."

Looking at the teacher's smiling face, Yan Wuji's face turned ashen.

The horses that the generals rode were all high-quality army horses, with a shoulder height of more than two meters. Yan Wuji stood beside the army horse, with his face pressed against the saddle.

But the little mare in front of her raised her head as high as Yan Wuji.

Even if Yan Wuji were to fall from such a height, he would not be injured.

Those generals were afraid that the little emperor would kill him.

Yan Wuji was a little disgruntled, but he didn't turn back when he opened his bow. To speed up the march, he had to ride a horse.

On the first day of switching from a carriage to a horse, Yan Wuji immediately felt the difference between a military horse and a rouge horse. Although it was still a pony, it had strong feet and good patience. Although the instructor surrounded him the whole time, pulling the reins, The filly was not allowed to run fast at all, but the entire army marched a full eighty miles that day.

If you follow this speed, you can reach the theater in less than a month.

On this day, Yan Wuji personally took the concentrate to feed the pony, but found that outside the camp, several generals surrounded a wild horse with a lasso.

"It's strange, there are mountains far and near here, how can there be horses?"

When Yan Wuji arrived at the scene on a pony, the left and right generals worked together to strangle the wild horse's neck with a lasso.

That Mustang was unusually tall.

Yan Wuji's army was already equipped with the best military horses, but the horse's shoulder height and physique were not inferior to the military horses at all.

General Zuo said: "This horse is reddish brown all over, with tear troughs under its eyes and white spots on its forehead, just like Delu." Yan Wuji became interested when he heard that, "Delu? Isn't that the legendary famous horse? " After finishing speaking, he wanted to go forward to wait and see, but as soon as Yan Wuji approached, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed continuously.

The right general hastily grabbed the noose, "Your Majesty, don't move forward, this horse is fierce and cannot be tamed, most likely it has to be let go."

Yan Wuji rode the filly for two days, with great confidence, he raised his whip and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, and I have given orders to the heavens. There is nothing to be afraid of, just a pony. Get out of the way, and I will tame it."

The generals panicked!

They have the same thoughts in their hearts.

The little emperor is very stubborn, if he insists on taming the horse and something goes wrong, all the people present will surely die badly.

General Zuo continued: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu, it's really strange to appear here today. If you insist on staying with us, it may cause disaster. You might as well put it back in the forest."

Yan Wuji was startled, at that moment, he seemed to be able to read minds, he actually understood the expressions on the faces of these generals, and understood what they were thinking.

He didn't have a tiger talisman on him. Although these generals obeyed him in the open, most of the orders they received from the auxiliary ministers were to protect the emperor to reach Mount Tai safely.

Yan Wuji didn't know how he got the hang of it, he thought over and over again, and said: "Don't panic, Ai Qing, Delu is just a rumored horse, no one knows if it's true or not. But I think this horse has very good legs, so it should be A good horse for thousands of miles. I heard that the general Weixinghu is good at riding and shooting, so how about this, lock up this horse and take it on the road, take it to Mount Tai and send it to General Wei."

The generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and said in unison: "The emperor is wise."

At night, Yan Wuji called Xiao Tongzi to steal the soldier's uniform, secretly changed into it, and ran to the stable.

Xiao Tongzi felt guilty, "Your Majesty, we are in the middle of the night and don't sleep well, what are we doing here?"

A patrol passed by, Yan Wuji grabbed a small tube and hid behind the grain truck. After the patrol left, he poked out half of his head and continued to look around. After a while, he finally found Luma's prison cart!

"Hmph! Everyone looks down on me, so I just want to show them off! Where did the wild horses come from in the barren mountains? Most of them are bestowed on me by the heavens, so that I can prove myself."

Xiao Tongzi laughed bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is unlikely..."

"go with!"

Yan Wuji sneaked to Luma's wooden fence, which was far away from the camp, and there were no torches around, Xiao Tongzi couldn't help muttering, "It's so dark, there's no light."

Yan Wuji's words woke Yan Wuji up, and he said vigilantly, "On the way we came, besides the patrolling soldiers, did we meet anyone else?"

Xiao Tongzi shook his head, "It's gone, Your Majesty, it's late at night, except for the sentinels and patrols, all the other soldiers are sleeping."

Yan Wuji's pupils shrank, "No, where did Lu's guards go?"

"People?" Xiao Tongzi was puzzled, but he saw Yan Wuji's attention shifted to the surroundings, as if he was groping for something, so he followed.

Yan Wuji felt uneasy. The left and right generals were all Confucian generals, not reckless. The emperor gave an order, even if it was just a show, he would find a few people to take good care of Lu, but they came all the way, although they also avoided patrols a few times. , but did not see the person who took care of the horses.

Those who can come to protect Yan Wuji are soldiers carefully selected by Shen Kang and Sima Yao, and they will never leave their posts without authorization.

Maybe something happened...

Xiao Tongzi followed Yan Wuji, it was too dark, and the moon in the sky was also covered by dark clouds, he accidentally tripped over, when he got up, he pushed himself on the ground, but he touched a human hand, and couldn't help but scream .

Yan Wuji immediately covered Xiao Tongzi's mouth, "Shut up! Did you bring the fire bag?"

Trembling for the small tube, Yan Wuji opened the fire pocket, covered it with his hand and blew it on. In the subtle light of the fire, the two stripped corpses on the ground were illuminated.

Xiao Tongzi was already crying in fright, covering his mouth and not daring to make a sound.

Yan Wuji knelt down and examined the two corpses.

And the temperature, not long after death;

There was only one wound on the neck on the whole body, which was fatal with a single knife;

There were no traces of fighting around, it was a sneak attack from behind.

Yan Wuji's right eyelid twitched—someone sneaked into the barracks, most likely to kill him.

Xiao Tongzi who was crying suddenly stretched out his finger to the distance, "Fire... it's on fire."

Yan Wuji raised his head, and the camp in the distance fell into a sea of ​​flames at some point, and the heat wave was raging.
