Chapter 199 The enemy is attacking

Chi Yan was also very tall and ran very fast, but with Lu Jiuyuan leading her, she was not afraid at all.

She would not dare to ride a horse alone now.

As if he could see her fear, Wuze comforted her: "Madam, don't worry. Although this horse is not as good as the master's Chi Yan, it is very tame. Madam, don't worry, I will hold the reins for you."

"Then I have to let you walk?" Tao Yao felt a little sorry.

"What's wrong with my subordinate's walking? My feet are strong and I can walk all the way. Madam, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine." Wuze said carelessly.

Tao Yao saw that it was getting late and couldn't refuse anymore. With Wu Ze's help, he got on the horse.

After getting on the horse, she found that it didn't seem that difficult. She saw Wuze holding the reins and walking in front, so she wasn't so scared anymore.

Probably to divert her attention, Wuze talked to her about the key points of horseback riding.

Tao Yao happened to also want to learn to ride a horse, so he listened carefully.

Wuze turned around and saw it, and suggested: "Madam, do you want to try to learn to ride?"

Tao Yao had this intention and nodded happily, "Okay, but you have to look at me a little bit, I'm afraid of being thrown off the horse."

"Normally, the horse will not abandon you, but you have to relax a little and don't be too nervous, otherwise the horse will feel your emotions and become irritable," Wu Ze said.

"Okay." Tao Yao took a deep breath and stretched out his hand, "Give me the reins."

Wu Ze quickly handed the reins to her, and then gave her a few more instructions before encouraging her: "Madam, please feel free to ride, my subordinate will follow behind."

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded, then tried to clamp the horse's belly and drove the horse forward.

At first, the horse did not obey her orders. After she tried several times, the horse finally moved forward.

Tao Yao was so happy and became more confident.

At first, she rode very slowly. Later, she was able to drive the horse and trot for a while.

"Madam, you are indeed extremely smart. You can figure it out with just a few clicks. Isn't this how you learned it?" Wuze caught up and praised her.

Tao Yao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, "The main thing is that Guard Wuze gave you good guidance. Thank you."

This time, it was Wuze's turn to feel embarrassed, "I just made a few random remarks. Madam is smart and understands quickly."

Even though he said this, he still felt a little proud in his heart.

Madam's riding skills were taught by him, and he wanted to claim credit in front of his master.

Tao Yao didn't know that Xiao Jiujiu was in his heart. Now that she had mastered the essentials of riding a horse, she was no longer afraid of this tall horse.

She tried to speed up.

After running for a while, she remembered that Wuze was walking and might have been left behind by her.

Thinking about it, she felt a little ashamed that she had forgotten Wuze.

But when she turned around to look for Wuze, she saw him following closely behind her.

She was stunned for a moment and praised: "Wuze, your steps are really fast."

"Is it fast? But it's not half as fast as Master." Wuze shook his head and said.

"Does Lu Jiuyuan run very fast?" Tao Yao asked curiously. She had never seen Lu Jiuyuan running.

"Run?" Wuze was stunned, then scratched his head, "At times like this, we usually use Qinggong."

"Qinggong?" Tao Yao opened his eyes wide, "Does such a thing really exist?"

"Why doesn't it exist?" Wu Ze asked in surprise.

Tao Yao: "..."

Okay, just when she thought she had learned how to ride a horse and was complacent, she had actually learned Qing Gong and could perform Qing Gong instead of walking and riding a horse.

Sure enough, she was behind.

However, she really felt a little doubtful about what Wuze said.

After all, she didn't see it with her own eyes just now.

Does something as mysterious as Qinggong really exist?

Thinking about it, she suggested: "Wuze, how about you use Qing Gong and compete with me on horseback?"

Wuze looked at her in surprise.

Madam has just learned how to ride a horse, so she wants to compete with him?

Is this desire to win too strong?

But the other party was a lady, so he didn't want to be worldly, so he said tactfully: "My lady just learned to ride a horse, do you want to practice more?"

"It's okay. I'm competing with you. It's just a practice. The big deal is, I just need to ride slower." Tao Yao said.

Wuze: "..."

"Do you have any concerns?" Tao Yao asked.

Wuze has a lot of worries.

The master handed over his wife to him. If anything happened to his wife, the master would probably skin him.

He really didn't want to take the risk.

"Madam, it's quite late today, so let's compete tomorrow."

Hearing this, Tao Yao nodded, "That's fine."

Just as Wuze was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard his wife scold him and suddenly drove away on his horse.

Wuze: "..."

After reacting, he got angry and chased after him.

Tao Yao did not ride very fast.

She knew that she had just learned to ride a horse, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control the horse if she rode too fast.

She mainly wanted to see Wuze's Qinggong.

She glanced back, and her jaw almost dropped when she saw Wu Ze actually using Qing Kung to catch up.

Is this the legendary Qing Gong?

She almost shed her tears all over the floor.

After entering the city, Tao Yao asked: "Wuze, when will your master return home?"

Wu Ze shook his head, "I don't know for sure. However, according to the news from the scouts, the Khitan will take action in the near future. I'm afraid there will be a war. The master will return to the camp to discuss tactics with the generals, and it may not end so quickly."

When Tao Yao heard this, he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Sure enough, Lu Jiuyuan did not come back that night.

The next day, Tao Yao asked Uncle Tian to help her find a horse. She planned to leave the city to practice, but she heard that the city gate was closed and she could not get out.

"It seems that the Khitan is coming again." Tian Bo looked at the gloomy sky and sighed.

Tao Yao also sighed.

Unexpectedly, with the Khitan prince in their hands, the Khitan side still insisted on fighting.

But looking at the weather, it seems like another snow is coming.

She gave up the idea of ​​practicing horse riding and returned home with Xi'er.

In the next few days, Lu Jiuyuan did not come back, and the weather became colder and colder. Tao Yao and Xi'er stayed in the house all day without going anywhere.

Late one night, Tao Yao heard the sound of a horn in his sleep and was so startled that he sat up from the bed.

Xi'er, who was sleeping in the outer room, obviously heard it. He walked in with a lampstand and said with a pale face: "Miss, the enemy seems to be attacking."

Tao Yao pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, the Duke is here." Then he lifted the quilt and asked her to come up and sleep together.

But neither of them felt sleepy anymore. They lay on the bed and listened to what was going on outside.

Tao Yao, who had lived in peaceful times, never thought that one day, war would be so close to her.

"Miss, what should we do if the enemy attacks the city?" Xi'er suddenly whispered.

"This won't happen." Tao Yao said firmly, but she put the dagger Lu Jiuyuan gave her a few days ago under the pillow into her sleeve.
