Chapter 63: The Horseshoe (Part II)


Zhao Yunze drove off the official road and indulged in the pleasure of speeding lightning.Haha, it's not difficult to learn to ride a horse, it only took me an hour to be able to ride a horse Just when Zhao Yunze was beaming in his heart, a wide carriage suddenly appeared in front of the road.If Zhao Yunze was a skilled equestrian, then at this time, he only needed to pull the reins lightly, and he could stagger with the carriage.After all, this is the official road to Chang'an, and it is still quite wide.It's a pity that Zhao Yunze is a rookie.As soon as he saw the carriage, he immediately panicked, so he subconsciously tugged on the reins with his right hand.Riding a horse is the same as driving, and it is most taboo to turn sharply without slowing down at high speeds."

Hong'er" was pulled by Zhao Yunze, and his neck was immediately bent to ninety degrees.At the same time, the two front hooves also suddenly shifted to the right side with the twisting of the neck.Dead and dead, Hong'er stepped into a depression in the road with one of her front hooves.The depression was not deep, and if the horse had been slow, it might not have been an accident.But at this time, Hong'er's speed is very fast.was mixed by that depression, and Hong'er's leg suddenly competed with Zhao Yunze's horse-controlling direction.One was unstable, Hong'er's front legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.Zhao Yunze also immediately flew forward from the saddle.The incident happened suddenly, but it was years of military training that saved Zhao Yunze's life, and as soon as he left the saddle, he immediately subconsciously made a "fish pose" pose when jumping on a wooden horse in the air.The abdominal muscles straightened and tightened, and Zhao Yunze's body was horizontal in the air, swinging up and down twice like a fish, and then it turned into a posture of tucking his abdomen and bending his legs.With his feet on the ground, Zhao Yunze immediately grabbed his back and rolled over to slow down the inertia of the forward rush, narrowly avoiding the disaster of breaking his neck.As if this was the case, Zhao Yunze's feet were also numbed by the pestle, and he lost consciousness for a while.Zhao Yunze got up and limped towards Hong'er.Hong'er screamed in pain, and tried to stand up a few times but didn't get up.Zhao Yunze saw that the knees of the horse's two front legs were already blurred with flesh and blood.Pulling up the reins, Zhao Yunze wanted to pull Hong'er up."

Lang Jun, don't pull it, this horse is not lightly injured."

The coachman in the carriage saw that Zhao Yunze was about to pull up Hong'er, and hurriedly stopped it loudly.Then, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and came over to check on Hong'er's injuries.He reached out and stroked Hong'er's neck to soothe it.After a while, Hong'er also gave up her efforts to stand up and fell directly to the ground.The coachman lifted Hong'er's two front legs and looked at them and said, "The bones seem to be fine, but the horse's hooves are useless." ”Zhao Yunze looked at Hong'er's two front hooves, and saw the horse's hooves on his right leg, a large piece of the thick cuticle was missing, and blood was oozing out from under the part of the horse's hooves that lacked the cuticle."

Brother Tai, can this horse still be ridden" Zhao Yunze panicked, and hurriedly asked the coachman worriedly.The coachman shook his head and said, "Without half a year of cultivation, this horse will not be able to run." ”Hearing this, Zhao Yunze was finally relieved.It's good that it's not completely ruined, if this horse is really crippled, Yu Chi Baolin won't be able to eat me At this time, another person came down from the carriage, this person looked to be in his thirties, wearing a robe, a scarf, and a scribe's costume.After looking at it, the scribe said, "Let's first bandage the wound of this horse." ”As soon as he was reminded by this person, Zhao Yunze came to his senses.However, where can I find something to bandage the wound "Two brothers, there are things to bandage in your car" Zhao Yunze rushed to the hospital and asked the two people.The scribe shook his head.When the coachman saw this, he hesitated for a moment, then took off his shirt directly and said, "You two are nobles, so you should use my clothes." ”After saying that, the coachman tore his clothes and began to wrap Hong'er's wounds.Zhao Yunze said to the coachman gratefully: "Thank you to this brother Zhao Yunze, the family lives in Yankang Fang in Chang'an City, if the brother is free, please come to a certain house, and a certain person will be thanked" "Hehe, thank you for it, you can just compensate me for a piece of clothing." ”The coachman said without raising his head.The scribe was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Yunze report his name and address, and then suddenly asked Zhao Yunze: "Dare to ask Lang Jun but it was the newly sealed Yilu Captain of His Majesty last month" Zhao Yunze was stunned: "How do you know about this" The scribe smiled: "What a coincidence, I went to Chang'an City to find Captain Zhao." ”"Look for me, you are" Zhao Yunze was even more surprised.The scribe bowed his hand to Zhao Yunze: "A certain is Tan Geng, the chief bookkeeper of Jingyang County, and I am going to Chang'an to ask Captain Zhao to go to Jingyang and collect the Yongye Tian given to you by His Majesty." ”Zhao Yunze suddenly realized.The 100 acres of Yongye land that Li Shimin gave him only took over the title deeds of those fields from the household officials, and then he waited for Jingyang County to arrange someone to pick him up and hand him over on the spot.Unexpectedly, in this case, I actually met the Jingyang County official who handled the matter."

I see."

Zhao Yunze nodded."

The 100 acres of Yongye land that Your Majesty gave to Captain Zhao were terra nullius before, but the people nearby also planted crops on those fields.Therefore, he waited until the end of the autumn harvest before the lower official came to inform Captain Zhao to collect it.After a delay for many days, I also asked Zhao Xiaowei Haihan. ”Tan Geng explained to Zhao Yunze."

It's okay, anyway, I won't be able to re-farm until next spring, so what are you afraid of if you delay for a few days."

Zhao Yunze smiled understandingly.At this time, the coachman had already helped Hong'er bandage his wound, he stood up and said to Zhao Yunze: "Look at it like this, this horse won't be able to walk for a while, you better think about how to get him back." ”During the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between people was far more equal than in the Ming and Qing dynasties.When lower-level officials meet higher-level officials or the common people meet officials, they are not as subservile as later generations.Therefore, even if the driver heard Zhao Yunze's identity, he could still treat it indifferently.When Zhao Yunze heard the coachman's words, he immediately became worried.At this moment, Yu Chi Baolin rushed over panting.Seeing this scene, Yu Chi Baolin was stunned: "What happened?"

"Running too fast, Hong'er stumbled and fell down." ”Zhao Yunze said ashamedly.When Wei Chi Baolin heard this, he immediately angrily scolded Zhao Yunze: "You are not allowed to go to the official road, you just don't listen, you haven't learned to go, you want to run away, now you are happy" Zhao Yunze couldn't say a word when he was scolded.Yu Chi Baolin squatted down again, looked at the wound that "Hong'er" was bandaged, and then raised his head and asked, "Is it seriously injured?"

"The leg is only a skin injury, and the horse's hooves are wasted." ”Zhao Yunze replied weakly.As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yunze suddenly realized something again, and he hurriedly went to look at the other three hooves of "Hong'er"."

This horse, why don't you nail horseshoes on its hooves," Zhao Yunze asked in surprise.Just now, because of the suddenness of the incident, he didn't pay attention to this problem in a moment's panic.At this time, when he calmed down, he suddenly remembered that if the horse's hoof had been nailed to the horse's hoof, it should not have hurt like this.When he looked at it, the three horses' hooves were really clear, and there was nothing on them."

What kind of horseshoe" Yu Chi Baolin and the coachman were at a loss at the same time."

It's a horseshoe, what, you don't know" Zhao Yunze was also surprised
