Chapter 45: The Galloping Horse
The east side of the Great Xiangguo Temple opened up a large vacant land, originally planned to expand the Zen Temple, even the drawings have been drawn, and later because the Empress Dowager Tian ascended the throne, cut off the private gold and silver supply in the temple, this matter had to be abandoned, and the place was abandoned.

In the past ten years, the Great Xiangguo Temple has traded four times a month, and there are hawkers to sell the fruits, preserved meats, embroidery, collar wipes and other things in the near places, because the east side is far away, everyone is reluctant to go to buy and sell, and finally the cattle, horses, donkeys and mules dealers occupy the place.
Most of the horse trade in Kyoto Castle was monopolized by the Gokuni Princess. Mrs. Zhao has always only wanted to make seven cents of profit at most, leaving three points to be kind to others, and she is only doing the business of ordinary horses, and those bad horses and divine horses have never set foot in them.
The Great Wei horse breed is not as good as the nomads, and the horse farm can only supply daily stagecoaches at most, barely equipped with an army, and if it is faster than foot strength, it is still a pure-blooded BMW from the north of the Western Regions.
There are a number of people who buy horses in the capital, if you want to buy ordinary good horses, you can find a horse market at will, if you want to buy a sacred horse, you have to wait for the exotic dealers to come in Daxiangguo Temple, Donghua Gate and other places.
Today, there are a few people from the Western Regions who come here to sell horses, and the horses they bring together are no more than one hand, and the horses are not saddled, and they are being left in the field to bask in the sun by themselves.
The Zhou brothers and sisters come from the family of military generals, and they naturally have a natural affinity for horses, Zhou Qin saw a chestnut mare not far away, with a well-proportioned body and no trace of miscellaneous hair all over his body, it seemed to sense that someone was observing him, raised his neck and snorted, flicked his tail again, turned his head and glanced at Zhou Qin. Zhou Qin involuntarily walked over, and the horse turned back and pouted his butt.
Zhou Yanzhi pointed at her and smiled, and said unashamedly: "Look at me." As he spoke, he untied the purse that had been specially changed on his waist, poured out a handful of fried soybeans, and was about to tease the mare.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the horse turned to the other side, and with a sweep of his tail, swept the beans from his hand to the ground.
Zhou Qin couldn't help laughing, and sneered at Zhou Yanzhi: "You also have today!" ”
With such a big movement, several people from the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes had already gathered around and asked in a somewhat stiff official dialect: "What kind of horses do you want to see?" Do you want to give it a try? ”
Zhou Qin pointed to the mare and said, "I want to see it." ”
A slightly short man from the Western Regions stood up, it was his horse, he looked at Zhou Qin for a moment, shook his head and said, "You can't do it." He pointed to Zhou Yanzhi again, "He's pretty much the same." ”
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment.
The horse dealer explained, "This horse is very strong, and you don't have enough strength to pull it." ”
Zhou Qin's conceited riding skills immediately aroused a little anger for him, and said, "Let me try it first to know if it works!" "And he said that he was going to pull the horse.
Zhou Yanzhi hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'll go for a lap first, and you'll see it later." ”
Zhou Yanzhi took the horse and chewed it, and took the saddle, but the horse dodged and kicked his legs, or the vendor helped to stabilize the mare, smoothed the horse's hair, patted the horse's head again, and instructed Zhou Yanzhi: "I am a Dawan BMW, with a very strong temperament, the son is careful." ”
Zhou Yanzhi turned over and got on the horse, and before his right foot stepped into the pedal, the horse jumped a few times and galloped forward.
Zhou Qin saw that the horse was jumping and stopping all the way, sometimes standing on its front feet, sometimes jumping wildly, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and asked the trader, "You haven't tamed this horse?" ”
The dealer replied in a natural tone: "This is a BMW, and we only recognize one owner, and we used medicine and numb to turn it over to get lucky." ”
Zhou Qinxi was a horse god horse, and hurriedly shouted at Zhou Yanzhi: "Brother come here, let me do it for you!" ”
Zhou Yanzhi galloped for a long time, and half of the horse's strength was consumed, before he beat and coaxed, led it to the side, saw that the speed was slow, and hurriedly jumped down. But the horse kept going, and kept running away.
Several dealers hurriedly rode their horses to chase after them, and it took a long time for them to come back.
Zhou Qin couldn't help but be happy, but Zhou Yanzhi instructed: "This horse is very strong, you be careful not to fall." ”
Zhou Qin grabbed the saddle and jumped lightly, sitting firmly on the horse. The horse was tamed by Zhou Yanzhi for a long time, and it ran wild all over the field for so long, but it was still wild, and Zhou Qin only had time to grasp the reins, and it ran away in a smoke.
Zhou Qin clinged to the horse's back, letting it run around, she was bent on subduing, and she was reluctant to whip hard, only clamping the horse's belly.
The horse seemed to feel that the person above had a better temper, but it was even more fierce, a few shaking, running and stopping, and dumping left and right, Zhou Qin was almost thrown off by it several times, so he had to abandon the horsewhip and hold the horse's neck with both hands.
Although she didn't have much strength in her hands, the horse was still very unhappy when she was hugged by the back of her neck, and she jumped wildly. After tossing for more than an hour, Zhou Qin was so tired that his head was full of Han, and he didn't know where the square scarf on his head had been thrown.
Slowly, the horse found that it could not get rid of it no matter what, and after being tamed for most of the day, it finally slowly stopped.
Zhou Qin lay on the horse's back and panted, reached out to pull the horse's bridle, but the horse tilted his head, stretched out his tongue and licked her hand, and touched her thumb with his nose. Zhou Qin was itchy and wet by it, and couldn't help laughing, so he touched its head and said, "Okay, don't lose your temper in the future." ”
She couldn't dismount any more, so she pulled her hair and drove the horse back slowly. When they returned to the place where everyone had gathered, the short horse dealer was reluctant to touch the horse, but he avoided it.
But he has already recognized Zhou Qin as the master.
Gui Zhi stepped forward with admiration on his face to help Zhou Qin get off the horse, Zhou Qin was condescending, glanced at the left, but didn't see Zhou Yanzhi, so he asked, "Where is my brother?" ”
Gui Zhi smiled and said, "The young master saw that the girl's side was all right, so let the guards look at you, and picked a horse himself, as if he ran over there." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the distance, and saw that there were people in the vast wilderness over there.
Before the words fell, a person in the distance turned over and got on his horse and galloped away, in the same direction as Gui Zhi.
Zhou Qin couldn't help but look carefully, only vaguely seeing the back, a woman dressed up. The woman ran out, several strong men clamoring to follow behind, I don't know what they were shouting, and after a while they all ran back, grabbed a few horses on the side and were about to chase them, but unfortunately all around were those untamed Dawan BMWs, or BMWs that had already recognized the horse dealers, and they were all moved and beaten for a while.
Zhou Qin was about to laugh, but he saw a man in a strong suit running out of the crowd, running all the way to the temple, it was a strong man in the flower garden of the yen's supper night, he changed his clothes and hair at the moment, and his face also looked a little changed, but that night was really impressive, and he saw it again in the Hui Garden, and Zhou Qin recognized it at a glance.
