Chapter 698: Speculation
The horse team came quickly, but after a while, they came closer, and from a distance, they saw Zhang Mingchang riding on a horse, and under the reflection of the torches, the smile on his face could be faintly seen.
Beside him was a middle-aged man, the two of them were talking and laughing, and they looked very speculative.
Guo Wenying wondered in her heart, who is this person? Why did Zhang Mingchang get involved with them?
Zhang Mingchang didn't recognize him, and she didn't know each other in the past, but it was not difficult to know what they were doing.
Guo Wenying's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said in a loud voice: "Who are you waiting for? Do you know that you collided with us?"
Those people could barely see the military uniforms on their bodies, and the people did not fight with the officials, let alone some wild soldiers. The middle-aged man who took the lead immediately rode over and hugged his fist at Guo Wenying, "Hello military masters, we are from Guangxi to sell horses, and please ask a few military masters to make it convenient." ”
Guo Wenying let out an "oh", seeing that they brought a lot of people, about a hundred people, and it seemed that there were hundreds of horses, such a large group of people and horses blocked the already not wide road tightly.
The people on both sides of them were huddled together, and they couldn't make a mistake, so they could only walk a little first and talk about it when they got to the avenue.
Guo Wenying waved her hand, letting Pi Xiaosan and Zhang Qiang in front of her lead people to go first, and she walked slowly on the road, these people were anxious, and they didn't dare to urge her too much, and the middle-aged man had to come up again to set up friendships.
"This military master, I don't know where you're going?"
Guo Wenying said with a smile: "We are the Pingnan Army sent by the imperial court to garrison Yunnan, I don't know what you are doing in Yunnan?"
The man smiled falsely, "Selling horses, just selling horses." ”
Guo Wenying saw that the horse he was riding was a kind of Yunnan Yunnan horse, not tall, but full of stamina, and most of the horses he brought seemed to be of this breed. It seems that the reason why Zhang Mingchang found him was for these horses.
She didn't know how Zhang Mingchang got in touch with them, but since he had already done this, there was no need for her to mix a lever inside.
So when she heard him say this, she didn't ask much, only smiled and nodded, "It seems that you are doing a good job in this business." ”
The man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a small business." ”
Seeing that Guo Wenying didn't make it difficult anymore, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he arrived at the avenue in front, he hurriedly asked people to hurry up and go over them. With the sound of horses' hooves, the huge team of horses disappeared in front of them in a few moments.
Pi Xiaosan leaned over, "Boss, what's wrong with us?"
Guo Wenying said: "It's not necessary to follow the past, you let a few people quietly embellish, there are not many people brought by Master Zhang, but what happened." ”
Pi Xiaosan nodded, and hurriedly called someone to follow quietly.
It was still early in the morning, and she was really tired from walking at night, and Guo Wenying's body was a little weak. Zhang Qiang saw that she was not in good health, so he said: "Boss, why don't we rest, it shouldn't be in the way when we get here." ”
Guo Wenying checked the terrain, this is the avenue, there are no dangerous places with mountains and mountains around, and there is no place to set up an ambush, but he is not afraid of someone chasing him.
She nodded, "Then let's rest for a while." ”
The officers and soldiers below began to prepare to set up camp, they didn't have much on them, and there were no large tents or anything like that, Zhang Qiang led people to build a triangular thing out of canvas, and spread a sheepskin for her to lie in.
The pain was terrible, and Guo Wenying didn't shirk it at this time, entered the tent, gave herself some medicine, and then closed her eyes in sheepskin to recuperate.
She couldn't sleep in this barren mountain range, just relaxed and let her body have a short rest.
I don't know how long it took, but the day grew brighter, and the sun showed its little head as if it had been bearded, and the clouds changed with it, and changed its clothes, and turned golden.
When Guo Wenying opened her eyes, she only felt that her whole body was even more sore, she had been in the palace for many years, and she was no longer the soldier who crawled in the army before, and she really couldn't adapt to her previous life at first glance.
packed up his things and prepared to leave, but before he could leave, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, but it was Pi Xiaosan who came back, followed by Zhang Mingchang and a few of his subordinates.
They galloped and soon came to the front, Zhang Mingchang turned over and jumped off the horse, and bowed to Guo Wenying, "Don't blame adults, there was a reason for the incident last night, and it is inconvenient to recognize adults." ”
Guo Wenying said: "You didn't follow the horse dealer, why did you come back again?"
Zhang Ming said: "The horse seller is not the person we are looking for, there is no point in following him, I have been with him for three days, and the basic situation has been almost touched, even if we don't meet adults, we are going to leave today." ”
Guo Wenying asked him what news he had found in the past few days since he left, and Zhang Mingchang talked about his experience these days.
When they came out of the barracks, they inquired about horse farms and horse trades, and finally found a place to sell horses, and it was there that they became acquainted with this horse seller. This person's name is Kang Dayou, and he is a very open-minded person. He and Zhang Mingchang hit it off at first sight and chatted quite speculatively.
Zhang Mingchang took the opportunity to ask him many questions, and followed him to visit several familiar horse farms. There are only three slightly larger horse farms in Yunnan, but to be honest, these three horse farms together are not capable of supplying tens of thousands of military horses.
Guo Wenying asked, "Which horse farms have you been to?"
Zhang Ming said: "These horse farms are not too far from Dali, one is in the west, the owner is a Bai people, there are about hundreds of horses in his hands, the owner of the south is surnamed Wang, is a mixed race of the Ha clan and the Han nationality, his scene is slightly larger, there may be two or three thousand horses, it should be the largest in the whole Yunnan." There is also the one in the east, and the owner of the field said that the surname is Du, and he hasn't had time to see it. ”
Guo Wenying said: "You don't have to go to that horse farm, we just came out of there not long ago." ”
She told them about their encounter with Feng Jing'an and the fight with the master of the Shadowless Gate. Zhang Mingchang was very frightened when he heard this, and said continuously: "My lord is confused, how can your identity be in danger in person, if something happens, what can we do?"
Guo Wenying sighed, "The incident happened suddenly, just take power, what news did you get from there, just say it in one breath." ”
Zhang Ming said: "There is nothing else to do, but there is a person involved, but I have to tell the adults." ”
Guo Wenying was stunned, "What is the news?"
