Chapter 69: Buying a Horse on the Return

In late September, Pingzhou returned to Linqing's ship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Luo and Lin Xun stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the bustling ferry in the distance, where the boats were moored and transferred, and the market on the shore was constantly shouting, a lively and extraordinary fireworks scene. On that day, it was more than a month since Tangguxi and they were separated. Originally, they planned to send them to the north in a month if they didn't encounter bandits, so they could return in early September. But who knows, when they arrived in the north, there was chaos......

The desert Gobi in the north is mostly sparsely populated and rarely inhabited. Further north is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, which block communication with the populations of other territories, and the road is long, and the snow and ice are deep, and no one has ever crossed the snow-capped mountains. Therefore, for a hundred years, King Sheng Ge has basically not sent a single soldier to be stationed here, and it has been healthy and smooth for many years, and there has been no invasion by outsiders.

Now when I arrived at that place, I saw an army in the desert, dressed like ordinary soldiers, but the military flag seemed to be a little different.

Although Lin Luo and Lin Xun didn't know much about the affairs in the army, they knew a little about the Shengge military flag. When they were in General Liangyu's mansion, they had an understanding of the borders and military flags of various countries. After informing Huang Jiang of this, they also became suspicious - if those people were not Sheng Ge's soldiers, then why were they stationed here? And what are these things that the Tang Mansion and the Hou Ye traded?

Lin Luo remembered that on the night she got on the ferry, when she happened to meet Tang Guxi and Gongsun Rong, Tang Guxi's unspoken words couldn't help but be suspicious. Since this is the place where the army is marching, if I am not mistaken, the contents of this box must be related to the battle, and it is likely to be......

In fact, Huang Jiang and the others also thought of this, if that soldier was really as they thought, now they really had no way to retreat. If you don't send it, you will die, but if you send it, what will happen in the future is unpredictable, and if it is really related to national war, then they are likely to lose their heads.

The lesser of two evils, Wu Sheng and his entourage seem to have no advantage in their view, since they are all unfavorable, it is natural to take immediate interests, and no one can say what will happen in the future. What's more, when they take the money, they can leave Shengge and live a free life as much as they want, and there is no place in the world where they are not tolerated.

But in the eyes of Lin Luo and Lin Xun, this is not only a major crime of secretly smuggling arms and colluding with foreign enemies, but also may endanger the Tang Mansion. If they were deceived into facilitating this matter, then if there was a big chaos in the future, the Tang clan would be the first to be implicated. At that point, no matter who you are, don't want to escape.

As soon as Lin Xun brought up this reason, and without thinking about it, Wu Sheng became furious, and pointed at their sister and brother: "Who doesn't know that you two have a relationship with Miss Tang?" And friendship, I'm afraid it's not just a few days of friends! I've long been suspicious, you have been protecting that girl everywhere since the day you got on the ship, if it weren't for the benefits that the Tang Mansion gave you, or sent you to be our eyes and ears, how could you have saved her again and again without regard for your life? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze. In fact, there are some people who are really surprised, but most of them have a bottom in their hearts, and they just pretend to know nothing at this time.

The lights in the tent were dim, the people outside the tent were noisy, and the sound of fists and drinking was incessant, and the soldiers were all overjoyed and proud of the new arrival, and they also arranged for them to live in. But those wooden boxes were now stored in a remote place, guarded by one or two soldiers.

According to Lin Xun's thoughts, they wanted to open those wooden boxes to check, and if there was really anything illegal in them, they would burn them. Although Lin Luo was in favor of this method, after all, the stakes were very high, and they did not fully understand the situation, so they did not dare to make judgments. After thinking about it again, she stopped Lin Xun.

"If you detain the goods, dare to ask, who will bear the main responsibility if something happens to the goods? And I'm afraid our lives won't be saved! You two are not on the list, so naturally you won't be worried......"

"Alright, Takeshi." At this time, Huang Jiang suddenly spoke, he lowered his head and frowned, "This goods must be delivered, but it is reasonable for Lin Luo and his brothers to protect Miss Tang." It can't be, we don't care if something happens to Miss Tang, right? After all, the two of them are also helping us! ”

"Big brother, you don't understand ......"

Wu Sheng wanted to argue, but he stopped him.

Although Lin Luo and Lin Xun were angry, the matter was over. They finally followed Huang Jiang's meaning, although Wu Sheng's words were fierce, but it was also reasonable, after all, their lives were at stake in front of them, how could they manage so much? But this also means that the two of them must leave for Linqing immediately after the delivery, and inform Mr. Zou Li of the matter before Tangguxi gets married.

After saying goodbye to Pingzhou and Huangjiang, Lin Luo and the others set off on a boat to Linqing, and they were uncertain about Huangjiang, so they didn't ask much. It stands to reason that since the money has been received and the entanglement on the return journey is enough, Lin Luo is still worried, and there are not many words and little joy along the way.

"Mr. Zou said in the letter that her wedding date is set for the eighth day of October, and we rushed back this time, which can be said to be just in time, and we are lucky." Lin Xun said loudly, the breeze on the river gently raised a lock of hair on his forehead, which was even more energetic and energetic, "After getting off the boat, we will buy the horse first, and then pack everything up, and then go to visit the Zou house, how about it?" ”

Lin Luo looked at the dock in front of him, knowing that Lin Xun was worried about her dispatch, so he no longer hurt himself, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Just do what you say." ”

When Lin Xun heard this, he laughed, grabbed his head in one hand and held his sword in the other, and said stupidly: "Sister, I have recently noticed that you seem to be a little ...... Something is different. ”

"What's the difference?" Lin Luo wondered.

"Naturally, my appearance is getting more and more handsome!" Lin Xun praised loudly and exaggeratedly, "There are clouds in "Luo Shen Fu", describing that Concubine Mi is...... Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising from the morning glow; Forced to observe it, the scorching waves appeared. And you are a person who practices martial arts, so you are naturally worthy of the sentence 'Dancing like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon'! ”

Lin Luo listened, his face did not move, and he suddenly chuckled, but he stared at him coldly, and sneered: "When did you become so flamboyant?" moved out "Luo Shen Fu", I'm afraid the words are not from the heart, right? ”

"From the bottom of my heart, of course!" Seeing that Lin Luo had more words, Lin Xun said happily, "Besides, I'm not the flamboyant person, but in front of my sister, everything I say is true, but what...... My sister didn't believe it. With that, Lin Xun turned his head and pretended to be angry.

Lin Luo glanced at him, sighed lightly, the smile on his face was hidden, and said lightly: "I took her away this time, but I didn't tell her about the things at home, I'm afraid that if there is really a mess in the future, she will blame us." ”

When Lin Xun heard this, he turned around and stood in front of Lin Luo, his expression became serious, and he said, "Sister, don't worry about this." Even if she knew, it was up to her to go or not to go. What's more, if she knows the truth as soon as possible, if she doesn't leave, it will be a dead end to stay! We hid it from her and took her away, and Mrs. Tang and Master Tang will also be grateful to us in the future. ”

"Anyway, they are her adoptive parents, and now we have nothing to do, if it were hers, it would be easy to do, but after all, that is Tang Yuanwai's opinion, we ...... There is a weak heart. ”

As he spoke, the boat came to shore, and after bidding farewell to the boatman, the two of them went ashore and walked straight to the city of Nama. The horse market in Linqing is in a remote place, and you have to go to the east lane to find it, after all, the live animals are not vegetables, vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., and it is inevitable that there will be peculiar smell of feces, so it is separated from the ordinary market.

Originally, they came from the south to the north, and each person had a mount, but after they had no choice but to reach Shengge, the two of them had to sell their horses in exchange for coiling, so they were able to continue on the road and come to Linqing.

While wandering around the horse market to select, Lin Xun suddenly said: "I once heard that there was a king of a country earlier, who had nine good horses, all of whom were handsome in the world, and their numbers were nine yi. One is Fuyun, one is Chidian, one is the Absolute Group, and Yiqun, Ziyanliu, Lu Lang, as well as Longzi, Qiangju, and Jiechen! Each of the nine horses has its own merits, and it is named according to the characteristics of its shape. If you want me to see, among these nine names, Chidian is the most powerful! ”

"Why is that?"

"Red electricity and red electricity, naturally the speed is like lightning, and the horse just wants to be fast!"

Lin Luo smiled lightly: "No, a horse is not only fast, but also spiritual, close to the heart, and strong bones, to be a good horse." In my opinion, if you only say that name, it is best to say the word Yiqun. ”

"Okay, I'll pick a horse later, my name will be Chidian, and yours will be called Yiqun, how about it?" Lin Xun happily proposed.

Lin Luo smiled and shook his head, "But our horse is not this Jiuyi after all, isn't it a joke to impose a name like this?" ”

"So what?" Lin Xun disagreed, "Could it be that people are not allowed to have the same name in this world?" Since there are so many people with the same name, it is not surprising that there are horses with the same name! ”

Lin Luo listened, there was nothing to do, and sighed: "Okay, according to you, according to you." ”

As they were talking, the two of them came to a place where the horses were sold, and the owner of the horse had been staring at them for a long time. He pointed to a brown steed and said in a low voice, "This horse is called a Jedi, and it can fly in the air without trampling on the soil or on the ground." Then he pointed to another horse and said, "This horse's name is Flip Feather, and it runs faster than a bird!" It's called ......."

"Hey, wait." Lin Xun interrupted, scratching his head with a look of suspicion, "Why do I think this is a little familiar?" ”

Lin Luo smiled slightly on the side, and said softly: "Don't interrupt first, listen to him carefully." ”

The master was stunned for a moment, and saw that Lin Xun didn't say anything more, so he pointed to his horse and continued: "This horse, called Chaoying, is so fast...... You can run with the sun! Yes, there's that, that's called ...... What's it called? It's called Chaoguang, and when it gallops, there are ten shadows on the body of a horse! I'm a horse, the price is easy to say. If you look at this again, the name is even more amazing, this one is called Tengwu, you two...... Do you know why it's called Tengwu? The owner of the horse raised his head and looked unfathomable.

Lin Luo just smiled and didn't speak, Lin Xun was an anxious person, frowned slightly, squinted at him, and urged: "Why? ”

"It's as fast as a cloud, and legend has it that it can ride the cloud and run away, so the name Tengwu comes from this."

"Are you going to say that there is another horse, called Wings?" Lin Luo suddenly asked, raising his eyebrows lightly and smiling faintly, "Legend has it that this horse has wings on its body and can spread its wings and soar for 90,000 miles like a roc." ”

Lin Xun hurriedly asked, "How do you know, where did you hear it?" ”

Lin Luo didn't answer, just stared at the owner of the horse, only to see that the owner of the horse was flushed, and said with a sneer: "The girl is really joking, the horse ...... How can it be, how can it spread its wings and soar like a roc? ”

"Oh, I see!" Lin Xun suddenly slapped his palms, his eyes lit up, "Aren't these names you said all the names of horses in the Eight Horses Diagram?" Okay, you, you're using this to trick us, we're really stupid! ”

"Hey, the two guest officers misunderstood, misunderstood! I'm exaggerating, but it's true that these horses are all of the best of the best! ”

Lin Xun Lin Luo ignored him, turned around and walked towards another place, leaving the man behind him screaming bitterly.

"This person is also ridiculous, he doesn't want to think about it......" Lin Luozheng said with a smile, and suddenly saw Lin Xun stop and pull her back.

Lin Luo raised his eyes and saw Liu Wugang standing in front of them, looking down, and his face was extremely haggard. At his hand stood a girl of six or seven years old, looking at them timidly and curiously.
