Chapter 150: Sweaty BMW
A forty-year-old man in the right row, also wearing an official uniform, looks quite strange, and sits there showing an official authority.|151Kanshu.com pure text||In the seats behind the two rows, there sat several men who were merchants, among them two middle-aged men with relatively strong figures, one with a beard on his face, and the other with a tall and mighty body, apparently two horse trainers.
The horse trainer can sit with the officials, I am afraid it is also a strange story that can only be heard in Yizhou State, but who is called the king of Yizhou loves horses, and the status of the so-called horse trainer is also very high.
As soon as Jiang Wenshan walked up, he greeted the two officials, while Fang Ling and Cao Yaode sat down on the side, of course it was impossible for the two of them to chat like the three county guards, and sit quietly.
In fact, as early as on the way here, Jiang Wenshan had already told everyone who participated in the banquet, the one with a somewhat strange face was Wang Wei, the county guard of Shuangpai County, and the one with a strange appearance was Wu Qiming, the county guard of Jinrui County.
Don't look at the two of them are not amazing, but as the guardian of a county with a population of one million, the status is obviously a grade higher than that of the county guard of five or six hundred thousand, not only has the extraordinary ability to govern the county, but also is the capable minister valued by the king of Yizhou, which can be described as majestic on all sides.
The merchant surnamed Lin on Wang Wei's side was the largest aquatic trader in Shuangpai County, with more than a dozen large merchant ships, and became a large-scale caravan on the river in the Wujiang area. In addition, he also has a group of excellent water "handy" people who specialize in diving into the river to salvage pearl shells, and the pearl products made of them are quite expensive.
The merchant surnamed Wen brought by Wu Qiming is also a well-known surname in Jinrui County, and it is expected that with the support of the clan forces, its business industry is naturally quite large-scale, and it is one of the largest merchants in Jinrui County.
Compared with the two, the Cao family is slightly inferior, although they are also big businessmen, but they can't be compared with them in terms of scale and background.
In addition, everyone is also an opponent, so no one has the intention of pleasing each other, and they are all on their toes, and no one looks at anyone.
The two horse trainers brought by the businessman surnamed Lin and the merchant surnamed Wen were also masters with some strength, and the two of them almost laughed out loud when they saw that the Cao family brought a young man like Fang Ling, but it was only because of the seriousness of the occasion that the two held back their laughter, but the contempt in their eyes was obvious.
It didn't take long to hear the dense footsteps in the corridor of the hall, and when the maid opened the curtain at the entrance of the corridor, she saw a group of people coming, and the one who walked in front was a fifty-year-old man, wearing a royal robe, wearing a crown, with a majestic appearance, his eyes were full of light, and he was not "exposed".
Fang Ling knew that this person must be the king of Yizhou, Fang Zong, but he was over sixty years old, and he looked like he was ten years younger, and his momentum seemed to be quite like a martial arts master, and he was even more above himself.
Behind him, followed by a woman in a stunning palace costume, it was Ning Yan, Ning Yan's gaze fell on Fang Ling, and she bowed her head slightly.
Behind the two of them, they were followed by a few maids holding feather fans, moving lotus steps lightly, each of them with delicate looks and exquisite curves.
As soon as Fang Zongao appeared, Jiang Wenshan and the others immediately stood up, knelt down respectfully and said, "The minister greets the king, Concubine Ning." ”
During the conversation in the secret room, Ning Yan told Fang Ling that she was actually bought from Cai Guo by a big man in the Yizhou Wangcheng for a lot of money, and panicked that she was her distant niece, and sent Ning Yan to the palace.
And Ning Yan was in the palace, and he took on the task of transmitting intelligence to Tsing Yi Fang.
Fang Zongao waved his hand slightly, and then sat down, the tiger's eyes slowly swept over everyone, Ning Yan sat down next to him, and the maids stood on both sides, holding huge feather fans and waving them slowly, fanning them to blow a gentle breeze.
Don't look at it just a fan, this feather fan is two or three meters long, and the weight is not light, if you want to fan it so effortlessly, the kung fu in the hands of these maids should not be underestimated, in Fang Ling's opinion, they are far more threatening than the guards in the palace, and they may even be killers specially trained by the King of Yizhou.
Fang Zong's arrogant gaze swept over the horse trainers of the two cities, and finally fell on Fang Ling's body.
At this time, Fang Ling had already hidden all the heaven and earth qi in his abdomen, and his eyes looked dull, no different from ordinary people.
Fang Zongao looked at him for a moment, and found that this young man was nothing unusual except that he was quite handsome, so he looked at Jiang Wenshan and said suspiciously: "Lord Jiang, this young man is you the horse trainer you brought?"
Jiang Wenshan naturally understood the purpose of Fang Zongao's inquiry, and immediately replied: "Back to the king, although this Fang Gongzi is young, but this horse skill is a must, the minister's three horses this time were all personally selected by Fang Gongzi, that quality will definitely make the king greatly amazed, as for his horse taming work, it is also one of the best in Yizhou." ”
As soon as these words fell, Fang Zongao couldn't help but glance at Fang Ling seriously, and said in disbelief: "Lord Jiang has never said big things, but this sound makes people a little unbelievable. ”
Wang Wei sneered on the side: "Lord Jiang, you didn't take the people of this county into account when you said this, but it seems that there has always been a horse race, and it seems that your Lucheng County has never entered the top three." ”
Just like what Fang Zongao said, Jiang Wenshan has always been steady and cautious, and he will never boast when he speaks. However, after getting along with Fang Ling in the past few days, he was indeed impressed by the talent shown by this young man, especially the three good horses selected, which were definitely the best in a thousand, and the horses in any Lucheng County could not match them at all, because of this, Jiang Wenshan was also full of confidence when he said such things.
Hearing Wang Wei's suspicions, Jiang Wenshan said lightly: "Lord Wang, it is said that feng shui takes turns, and the first place is not occupied by your Shuangpai County every year, this year you can take a good look at the horses of our Lucheng County." ”
Wang Wei was not angry, but just snorted and said: "Listening to Lord Jiang, I really want to see the three racehorses in your county as soon as possible, I really don't believe that such a young man can be comparable to the horse trainers in this county." ”
The horse trainer beside the merchant surnamed Lin immediately raised his head arrogantly, and the look of disdain in his eyes became even more intense.
Wu Qiming, who had not spoken, also laughed and said: "Master Jiang comes with high morale every year, but anyone can talk big words, and whether you have real skills or not, you have to see is believing." ”
Fang Zongao also smiled lightly: "It seems that the two adults are of the same mind as me, and they are quite interested in this horse trainer brought by Master Jiang, but we will not be able to see his ability until the Jockey Club, and he is also quite patient." ”
Ning Yan wasted no time in saying, "Your Majesty, why wait until the Jockey Club? Isn't it also a wonderful thing to let the three horse trainers compete here?"
These words were in harmony with Fang Zong's arrogant intentions, so he asked, "Concubine Ning, what do you have in mind?"
Ning Yan said: "Didn't the king get a superb horse a few days ago? The horse trainers in the palace did their best, but they didn't do anything about it, and now they still can't be tamed, since the three horse trainers are all the top people in the three counties, why don't they give it a try?"
Fang Zongao was immediately overjoyed and said, "Concubine Ning's idea is really good, what is the opinion of the three adults?"
Wang Wenshan and the three of them immediately replied: "It's all up to the king's orders." ”
Fang Zongao bowed his head slightly, and was about to speak, but he heard Ning Yan say again: "Your Majesty, this superb horse is a unique thing in a thousand, if someone can really tame it, the king should also have a reward." ”
Fang Zongao nodded and said, "Yes, if someone can really tame this good horse for this king, then the king will definitely be rewarded!" After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "Come on, go and bring me that bloody horse!"
When they heard the word "best horse", everyone's "color" was still relaxed, but as soon as they heard the word "red blood BMW", their faces suddenly changed.
Anyone who is proficient in horse taming must have heard of the name of the red-blooded horse.
This breed of horse, which lives on the northern fringes, combines the advantages of almost all horse breeds, not only in terms of their tall size and slender limbs, but also in terms of strength, speed, weight and stamina.
In order for other horse breeds to achieve such advantages, they need to be constantly bred, crossed, and improved, and it is possible to achieve them after several generations or even dozens of generations, but the red-blooded BMW is born with these advantages.
Thousands of years ago, an important people arose in the north, relying on the red blood horse as a mount to fight in all directions, at that time, the name of the fierce and mighty red blood horse spread to all corners of the land.
It's just that since the disappearance of that nation, the number of red-blooded horses has been decreasing day by day, and in historical records, there are many kingdoms that do not hesitate to fight for the resources of red-blooded horses, which shows the value of red-blooded horses.
Nowadays, the number of red-blooded horses is very rare, even people living in the northern edge of the land rarely see it, these excellent horses are born full of wild "nature", and after capture, it is extremely difficult to tame it.
Therefore, whether it is a royal nobleman or a famous family, they are all proud to have a tame red-blooded horse, and the price of a red-blooded horse is also priceless.
But for such a BMW, everyone has only heard of it, and has never seen it with their own eyes, so they are full of anticipation and a little uneasy, after all, none of the horse trainers in the palace have been able to do anything about this red-blooded BMW.
Only Fang Ling let out a faint smile when he heard the word red-blooded BMW, this thing is indeed rare and precious in the south, and it is really rare in the north. However, in order to improve the horse breed, Fang Ling ordered the search for the red-blooded BMW as early as three years ago.
