The horse that had fallen to the ground immediately got up. Before it could regain its balance, Li Guang grabbed the reins, leaped onto the horse, and sat steadily on its back.
There was no saddle on the horse's back, and the Di Nu horse's coat was smooth, offering no grip whatsoever. Once mounted, one could easily be thrown off.
To avoid being thrown off, Li Guang clung tightly to the horse's neck, squeezing his legs together to firmly mount the horse.
Li Guang was so strong that he used both his hands and feet, making Di Nu's horse feel very uncomfortable.
It spun around frantically, pushing off the ground with all four legs and leaping wildly, trying to throw Li Guang off his horse.
Li Guang was going all out. He knew the consequences of being thrown off, and at this point he had no choice but to fight the steed to the death.
Di Numa struggled for a long time but couldn't throw Li Guang off, so he became enraged and unleashed his wild nature.
At this moment, Li Guang was covered in sweat. He felt that his makeup was ruined, his peasant appearance was gone, and his true face was revealed.
Fortunately, everyone around him was focused on his contest with Di Nu, and no one noticed his face.
Now the problem is, in the end, whether he subdues Di Numa or is thrown off by Di Numa, his secret will be exposed.
What to do now? Li Guang's mind started racing. His only option was to leave this place.
Will this horse leave? Anyway, let's give it a try.
Li Guang glanced around furtively. The Temple of Heaven was surrounded by people, except for the southeast direction where there were fewer people. It seemed that the only way out was to rush out from there.
Li Guang pulled on the reins, pointed the horse's head southeast, and then released his tightly clenched legs.
Di Numa felt a sense of relief, but he didn't expect Li Guang to raise his right leg like a stick and hit the horse's rump.
This was clearly a signal for it to charge forward. By this time, Di Numa had already been thoroughly exhausted by Li Guang and no longer wanted to circle around here.
Leaving here would be ideal; we could look for an opportunity along the way to get rid of this troublesome fellow on our backs.
Di Numa cooperated perfectly, striding off on all fours towards the southeast.
Those watching the commotion from this direction had no idea that Di Numa was charging towards them. If they were trampled on, they would be killed, so they quickly scattered and fled.
The Temple of Heaven was surrounded by several barriers, but they were of no use to Di Numa, who easily crossed them.
After leaving the Temple of Heaven, Di Numa came to the city and ran wildly through the streets. The pedestrians had never seen such a scene before and all ran away.
Di Nu's horse ran faster and faster, and soon it left the capital and galloped all the way southeast.
At this moment, Li Guang lay on the horse's back, grabbing the mane on the horse's neck, squeezing his legs tightly, letting it gallop wildly, as long as he didn't fall off.
Di Nu was indeed a fine horse; it had been running for so long without getting tired and could still keep running at the same speed.
Li Guang was also determined to go all out. Since you can run so fast, he decided to play along and see just how far you could run.
After Di Numa led Li Guang away from the Temple of Heaven, the emperor finally realized that Li Guang had saved his life.
Li Guang has rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor; he must be richly rewarded later.
Riding such an out-of-control horse without a saddle is extremely dangerous.
The emperor immediately issued an edict, ordering that Li Guang be brought back.
Without the Emperor's orders, Li Xue mounted a fast horse and chased after Di Numa in the direction he had fled.
Di Numa ran too fast, and by the time Li Xue chased after it, it had already disappeared. Fortunately, someone pointed it out, and Li Xue followed it all the way.
Li Xue chased after the horse to the outskirts of the city, where someone told her that they had seen the frightened horse carrying a person, running southeast.
Li Xue spurred her horse and galloped at full speed. An hour later, she came to a mountainous area, and beyond that, she saw cliffs and precipices.
Upon seeing this, Li Xue was greatly surprised and quickly dismounted to go forward and check.
The warhorse was exhausted and stood there trembling.
Li Xue knew that this warhorse couldn't run any longer; if it did, it would surely be exhausted to death.
She stood beside the cliff, looking down into a bottomless abyss. Falling from there would surely mean certain death.
Li Xue stared blankly, wishing she had gone in the wrong direction and that Li Guang had never come this way.
At this moment, several more warhorses arrived and were also taken aback by the sight.
Not long before, Li Guang's Di Nu horse did indeed arrive here.
Di Nu was a fine horse, very intelligent; it wouldn't be foolish enough to jump off a cliff to its death.
After it reached the edge of the cliff, it did not stop, but ran along the edge of the cliff.
Li Guang turned his head and saw that to his right was a bottomless abyss; if he fell in, he would be smashed to pieces.
After running along the edge of the cliff for a while, Di Numa began to descend, running close to the cliff face. This surprised Li Guang greatly; was this still a horse?
The Di Nu horse ran along the cliff face as if it were flat ground, and there was no need to worry about it falling off.
However, Di Numa deliberately rubbed his body against the rocks while running, trying to throw Li Guang off.
But Li Guang was like a nail embedded in the horse's back; no matter how hard Di Numa tried, he couldn't throw Li Guang off.
However, Di Numa's actions caused Li Guang a lot of trouble, as his body kept colliding with the rocks and was already covered in wounds.
If I'm in this state, Di Numa must be in no better shape, since Di Numa is much bigger than me.
After surviving numerous close calls, Di Numa finally brought Li Guang to the bottom of the valley.
The valley floor was like another world, flat and beautiful, but Li Guang had no interest in appreciating it.
To Li Guang's surprise, Di Nu's horse was still running, its speed undiminished, galloping forward at full speed.
Li Guang had no choice but to lie back on the horse and let it run.
At this moment, Di Numa was like an off-road vehicle with a full tank of gas, full of power.
And so, the horse ran until dusk, when it finally stopped, having truly run out of strength.
Li Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was so exhausted that he felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
Li Guang looked himself over; he had multiple abrasions on his body, and his clothes were torn to shreds.
Fortunately, he was wearing the protective soft armor that Zhao Xian had given him, which prevented him from suffering serious injury.
He dismounted from the horse, his feet finally touching the ground, and felt that he was still alive; it seemed that his life had been saved.
Li Guang looked at the Di Nu horse in front of him. It was not in good spirits and was covered with abrasions all over its body, a pitiful sight.
Seeing this, Li Guang couldn't help but worry. The external injuries weren't a problem, but the horse had been running for so long and had been repeatedly bumping into things on the cliff face, so it was very likely that it had suffered internal injuries.
It's best to find someone knowledgeable about horses to examine it and see if it has internal injuries. Also, give it some hay and water.
Li Guang led the reins forward, eager to find inhabited areas and seek help.
The Di Nu horse followed him obediently and cooperated very well, it seemed that it had been completely tamed by him.
