Chapter 655: Horses
"Who?"
Sanxi didn't understand it all of a sudden.
"The monk. Bai Chenghuan said coldly.
Because of Yuan Hui's aggressiveness before, coupled with Xiao Shaotang's words that this person is not a good person, Bai Chenghuan's previous good feelings for Yuan Hui have trickled down.
Sanxi took a look, but still didn't understand:
"Which monk? People just shaved their heads, not monks!"
Bai Chenghuan took a few steps closer and looked at it, only to find that there was more than one bald head in the tent-
"Is it popular in the Southwest to shave heads?"
Sanxi saw her suspicious, so he hurriedly explained:
"Oh, this, isn't this in the southwest, the folk customs are strong, many mountain people are barbarians who were obedient when the first emperor, the customs are not the same as our Han people, and they don't pay attention to the admonition of 'parents who receive the hair and skin of the body, do not damage', when it is hot, they like to shave their heads, and men do not necessarily keep their hair, so they suddenly think they are monks!"
Bai Chenghuan turned around and glanced at him mockingly:
"Sanxi, with your temperament, let's stay in a different place, if His Royal Highness the Prince relies on you to escort you, it will be a joke!"
He pointed to Yuan Hui's bald head, which already had stubble and was not shiny, and said:
"You can't even see such a big ring scar, and ask me which monk I am? I'll settle accounts with you when the prince comes back!"
After saying that, he strode in, leaving the cloudy Sanxi in place.
Sanxi is about to cry, in this wounded soldier's tent, who is okay to stare at other people's heads!
Bai Chenghuan walked straight to Yuan Hui's side, with a slightly cold expression:
"Master, don't come unharmed?"
Yuan Hui raised her head, her expression was slightly condensed, and she slowly put down the medicine bowl in her hand.
On the edge of the hill at the back of the barracks, Yuan Hui had already recovered the fluttering posture of a high-ranking monk, and bowed to Bai Chenghuan with his palms together before saying:
"Why is the benefactor here?"
"That's what I should have asked the master. β
Bai Chenghuan didn't want to go around in circles with Yuan Hui at all, and said directly:
"I already know the master's intentions, but the master should also know that His Royal Highness the Prince does not like the master to meddle in the affairs of the Qin Palace. β
Yuan Hui was slightly startled, silent for a moment, but suddenly looked at the mountains in the distance and said:
"That female benefactor should understand even more, no matter whether the poor monk intervenes or not, the way of heaven is here, and you are not the wife of the son of King Qin. Even if the prince of Qin achieves great things in the future, the phoenix position will not have a chance with the female benefactor, and the poor monk persuades the female donor to take a step back, the sea and the sky are broad, and it is beneficial to you and the prince of Qin. β
Bai Chenghuan was first confused by his words, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood it again - did this hateful monk ever persuade Xiao Shaotang to replace her wife?
No wonder Xiao Shaotang is so angry!
Bai Chenghuan didn't say anything, and then asked:
"Then how can the master see that I am not his destined wife, and how does the master think that I should take a step back?"
"Because you are really a person who should not be there, because the benefactor. β
Yuan Hui turned her head, and her eyes were deep and determined: "The wife that the prince of Qin should marry should be the daughter of the family, who can give him the greatest support and help him ascend to the dragon throne!
The sentence "people who shouldn't appear" suddenly made Bai Chenghuan's heart jump, what is a person who shouldn't appear?
Is it just like An Zhulin said, without this person, it doesn't exist?
Bai Chenghuan really wanted to scold God at this moment - did everyone know about that messy past life, but she didn't know anything?
It's a maddening feeling!
But since she already knows the secrets of so many people, she is not inferior to Yuanhui!
But after a while, Bai Chenghuan calmed down:
"What if I refuse to do anything?"
"Then you will suffer the curse of heaven, because you have messed up the way of heaven!" Yuan Hui saw that he had said so much, the woman was neither angry nor sad, and was not moved at all, feeling that the conversation could not continue, and she also changed color with anger.
"Hahaha, that's ridiculous!"
Bai Chenghuan laughed a few times, thinking it was really ridiculous! Is this planning to use the advantage of reliving a life to suppress her?
"My parents, father, and mother, Xiao Shaotang's father, and even the king of heaven and earth, no one has interfered with who Xiao Shaotang's wife should be, and no one dares to say that I am not worthy of the phoenix throne, why should I listen to you as a crooked monk to be alarmist?!"
"You!
Yuan Hui didn't expect that one day, words like "crooked and heretical" would be inflicted on him, and he couldn't help but be angry!
Bai Chenghuan put away his laughter, and his expression was completely cold:
"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that the master is too naΓ―ve! Even if you really know the heavenly machine, even if you have been blessed by heaven, what does it have to do with me? Who said that the way of heaven must be immutable? Who said that I am destined to be a non-existent person in vain? Master, and remember, if Xiao Shaotang himself wants to break up with me, I should leave, but if others interfere, I will never compromise!"
Since the master is a disciple of Buddhism, it is important to purify all sentient beings, and this red and mundane matter should not be provoked again, otherwise when His Royal Highness the Prince of the World comes back, it will hurt the harmony, and it will be ugly!"
Bai Chenghuan's sentences were sharp, cold as a blade, and he finished speaking without stopping in one breath, no matter how annoyed Yuan Hui was, he just brushed his sleeves and left, not wanting to see Yuan Hui's self-righteous words for a moment, but it was disgusting!
Yuan Hui was originally a high-ranking monk, and his cultivation and temperament were all first-class and good, but at this time, he was so angry by Bai Chenghuan that he trembled with anger - how can these stubborn and ignorant mortals understand his painstaking efforts to give up everything for the sake of sentient beings?!
What is the love of men and women? Only by conforming to the way of heaven as soon as possible is the right way!
Yuan Hui looked at Bai Chenghuan's departing back, and couldn't help but be ruthless:
"Since the female benefactor said so, one day, the poor monk will let the prince of Qin come to tell you in person!"
didn't know that the demons in my heart had been planted from this.
When it was dark, Xiao Shaotang returned with the people, but they were all disgraced.
When Bai Cheng welcomed him, he could clearly see the red bloodshot in Xiao Shaotang's eyes, and the dull mood that was originally due to Yuan Hui's appearance suddenly dissipated, leaving only distress.
"Still not going well?"
Bai Chenghuan held his cheeks, and his eyes were not bad to watch Xiao Shaotang gobble up his meal.
"It's not that it's not going well, it's that you can't get into their nest at all......"
Xiao Shaotang pulled the rice into his mouth while explaining to Bai Chenghuan:
"That rugged mountain is not a poisonous miasma, those bandits have built an unknown number of traps in the mountains, poisonous miasma swamps, deep pits and sharp arrows, no rules, it is too difficult to touch it!"
Bai Chenghuan nodded, this is also the truth.
The reason why bandits can become troubles is that seven or eight times out of ten they rely on mountains and rivers, occupy dangerous passes, and become easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At this time, troops, tactics and so on will not play any role at all, and as long as the bandits can't shrink, no one will have anything to do with them.
Bai Chenghuan looked at Xiao Shaotang and looked depressed until he finished eating, and after thinking about it, he asked:
"There are so many poisonous miasma traps in the Junqi Mountain, when the bandits enter and exit by themselves, there are no casualties?"
Xiao Shaotang shook his head:
"I haven't heard of them having casualties, but when they were caught off guard by the first few times, they caught a few bandits, and some people recruited some routes, and even rebelled against them, letting them lead the way once, but before they could get close, they were put down by cold arrows in the shadows. β
Xiao Shaotang was full, put the bowl down, and sighed:
"Later, I learned that the rule of those bandits is that once their men are captured alive, they must find a way to kill them! So those bandits are more fierce than ordinary bandits, after all, they can go back if they are injured, and if they are caught, they will die!"
Bai Chenghuan was also terrified:
"It seems that this gang of bandits is really ruthless, once they find out that they are in danger of being exposed, they can do it to their own people without saying a word, they can be so ruthless to the people they get along with day and night, let alone innocent people!"
"Who says it's not, wherever they plundered the past, all the chickens and dogs were left behind, and it was miserable! But I have not been able to destroy them so far, I am really incompetent!"
Xiao Shaotang hammered the table with hatred, and his eyes were a little red.
Bai Chenghuan hurriedly went to check his knuckles, but fortunately, it was only a little bruise, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, she took the medicinal wine to wipe his wound, and said:
"Even if you are in a hurry, you can't use your own hands to vent your anger! I ask you, do they fight against you on foot or on horseback?"
"They also rode horses, but unlike our horses, they were a little shorter, and they walked very quickly through the mountains. β
The more Xiao Shaotang spoke, the more frustrated he became.
I can't get into other people's lair, and other people's mounts still have an advantage over theirs, which is really desperate.
Bai Chenghuan bandaged his fingers properly, and then reached out to hold his cheek and stared at him:
"Then have you ever heard of a saying that old horses know their way, and their people can't stay alive, but what about their horses?"
Xiao Shaotang was slightly stunned, and his gloomy eyes gradually brightened:
"You mean to say that their horses ......"
"Yes, how their horses come out, let their horses take you in!"
Xiao Shaotang's eyes seemed to suddenly brighten, and he held Bai Chenghuan's hand in the palm of his hand, and a smile bloomed:
"Huanhuan, you are really my lucky star!"
"It's too early to say that, and when it really works, it's not too late for you to say something like that. β
Bai Cheng said with a smile.
Within two days, the bandits of Junqi Mountain discovered a strange thing.
A horse they lost a long time ago has returned.
Not only did he come back, but he also brought several tall and strong Northeast horses.
The big boss of the bandits is a little suspicious:
"How do you say that, Seon knows the good and the bad, you all tell me, is this a good thing or a curse?"
A bunch of bandits began to talk about it.
Second, the master is more stable:
"This inexplicable extra horse must be from that group of officers and soldiers, so suddenly running to our territory, there must be a conspiracy, according to me, directly kill everyone to fight the tooth sacrifice, save the future trouble!"
Several other bandit leaders also felt that this matter was not simple, and they all felt that there was a conspiracy.
Only the groom who raised horses for the bandits circled the three tall horses several times, very reluctant.
"Don't the masters think that our horses are not majestic enough? There are two good mares in them, and if you want me to say, let's just stay and be a horse breed, and the masters will have tall horses to ride in the future, isn't it good?"
Several of the bandit leaders hesitated.
The horses of Daqi were originally the same as iron tools and official salt, and they were strictly controlled by the imperial court.
The horses in the barracks are all registered, and the war dead, sick and wounded must be recorded, and it is not easy for reckless bandits like them to get better horses.
Even though the southwest side is far away from the imperial court, and now the chaos of the court situation is an opportunity, the grassland horse breeds unique to the north are still rare, let alone obtained.
They usually ride a pony unique to the southwest, which is convenient, but it is very unworthy of their momentum to ride out, after all, they all call themselves heroes, and the indispensable equipment of heroes is not BMW?
Yun Sihai looked at the horses with slender limbs, snorting and stepping on hooves, with long manes and smooth hair, which was extraordinary at a glance, and couldn't help but feel envious in his heart, and then looked at the gray pony in his own village, and immediately felt disgusted.
A few people gritted their teeth, and finally ordered someone to go out to investigate.
The spies went out cautiously and cautiously, and came back quickly, and the news they found out completely reassured the bandit leaders.
"It was the officers and soldiers who ran out of the barracks in the stable, the horses were frightened, scattered and fled, ran dozens of horses, and finally caught less than thirty horses, the prince of Qin from the capital was furious in the barracks, and the horse supervisors were cut several!"
The groom, who cherished the horses, was at once delighted:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a godsend! The nature of this horse is originally to live in a herd, these three horses must have escaped, let's just stay, for you to be the mount, that is called might! Besides, we are not afraid of them to find it, just keep a closer eye on the small ones!"
Several people also knew that this groom, who had followed them for many years, was really obsessed with horses, and they did not doubt his intentions, so they nodded and agreed.
From this day on, the three foreign horses fed, drank, and grazed together with the dwarf horses of the rugged mountains, and the groom took care of them day by day, occasionally staring at them happily for a long time, and often talking to himself to a few horses that he did not know what to say.
After half a month, except for hearing that the prince of Qin had been angry a few times on the side of the officers and soldiers, neither the people nor the three horses had any changes.
Except for the time when Hui Hui came to see the three horses when he needed to use the horses, the rest of the time he was not as attentive as he was at the beginning, and he was only waiting for a group of tall horses to be matched with these horses in the spring of the next year.
Until the twentieth day, when the day was bright, the cry of the groom shook the whole of the mountain:
"Oh my God, it's gone!
When Yun Sihai heard this voice, he was still in the clouds and fog, and when he reacted, he had already heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, like the earth shaking the mountains and smashing the mountains and rivers.
