Chapter 15.82 Horses

Jia Jiu didn't mean to follow behind the king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County, but his horse couldn't run fast.

After Jia Daishan died, Rongguo Mansion was actually not good, and Jia Yu knew early on that the above would not be willing to let himself get into the army. Therefore, in order to reassure the above, Jia Yu has become an otaku, and he is becoming more and more homely, except for antique toys that are women. The military general should not leave the sword on his side, he will not touch it at all, let alone personally inquire about the horses.

Under the influence of Jia Yu, coupled with Jia Zheng's self-proclaimed scholar and ignoring mundane affairs, Mrs. Wang's courage became more and more great. The good horses left by Jia Daishan and the ponies bred and even the stallions and horse slaves were all sold or given away by Mrs. Wang one after another, and after Jia Jiu became sensible, there was nothing left.

Even the girls around Jia Jiu have privately calculated more than once how much money Mrs. Wang got from Jia Daishan's horse, and how much benefit she got from using Jia Daishan's horse to secretly trade with others and do favors.

Later, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was swept away from the church, and Jia Yu got back everything that belonged to him, and the situation on the side of the stables still did not improve. Because at that time, not only were there no horses in the stable, but even the horse slaves trained by Jia Daishan were no longer there. Without experienced manu, how can you breed good horses?

Today's horses in the Mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo, in addition to being docile, can also have good endurance - because of the need to pull the cart - it has nothing to do with the Shenjun at all, at most, it can only be said that it is passable.

The horse that Jia Jiu rode was a typical horse of the Marquis of Rongguo's Mansion. The appearance is average, the speed is average, but it is very docile. It won't hurt people easily, let alone scare the wives, grandmothers, girls and misses. This horse is also one of the few horses in the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion that has passed the test, carrying Jia Jiu and Jia Jiu's or heavenly halberd, and can run a considerable distance.

Of course, such a horse is naturally not fast, and can only walk slowly behind.

Jia Jiu was not used to handing over his weapons to others for safekeeping. So. Whether it's a halberd or a snow sword, it's all on his own body. Add up, hundreds of pounds of weight, of course, horses can't run fast.

Jia Jiu walked behind, and his entourage could only follow him slowly.

The kings of Dongping and Xining originally wanted to find a place to talk about themselves. But I don't want to. Suffixed with such a person. Even if the other party is not close to themselves, but just following like this, it really makes them feel at ease to speak boldly.

First, they had heard that some masters of the inner family could hear sounds far away as long as they gathered their cultivation in their ears. Second, the people around Jia Jiu. Many of them were arranged for him by Princess Changle, and the people around Princess Changle. It was the emperor who arranged him. It's hard to say that after seeing something, these people won't make a small report to the emperor.

The king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County had to stop, and when Jia Jiu rode his horse and slowly caught up, he said a few polite words: "Big niece, you are strong in martial arts, why don't you run forward?" You can't get good prey with us two old guys. ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly bowed on horseback and said, "The younger generation has seen two princes. ”

The king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County both said: "My niece is really too polite. Although it is said that the autumn hunting ground is mentioned here, it is also a march. The rules of the march, the eldest niece should know, right? The armor is on the body, and all the etiquette is simple. The eldest niece doesn't need to be so serious. ”

In fact, according to serious etiquette, Jia Jiu should get off the horse. However, Jia Jiu did not do this, and the king of Dongping and Xining did not ask Jia Jiu to do so. Jia Jiu didn't salute because he was a woman, and because the current Rongguo Marquis Mansion didn't want to get involved in some things.

Their Rongguo Marquis Mansion is no longer the same as Dongping Wangfu and Xining Wangfu. What's more, before Jia Jiu went out, Jia Jiu told him to keep his distance from the so-called Four Kings and Eight Princes. Jia Jiu kept his father's words in mind, so although his mouth was polite, this etiquette showed his rejection of the king of Dongping and Xining.

The king of Dongping and the king of Xining are not six-year-old children, how can they not see this clearly?

They turned out to be princely honors, and they were always flattered by others. Especially in recent years, the Dongping Palace, the Xining Palace, and the Nan'an Palace, once again extended their hands into the army and occupied a place in the army, and even the emperor was much more polite when facing them than twelve years ago. It can be said that the kings of Dongping and Xining have their tempers skyrocketed a lot after the war in northern Xinjiang.

Under such circumstances, Jia Jiu was so snub to them, how could the King of Dongping and the King of Xining not be angry?

But what about being angry? What Jia Jiu's combat effectiveness is, these two princes know very well. They knew that they and their entourage were all combined, and they couldn't compare to Jia Jiu's force value.

It was because they couldn't beat Jia Jiu, and they knew that the emperor and the emperor were fighting for Jia Jiu, this little girl was not something they could offend at the moment, so they chose to stop, and when Jia Jiu passed, they took a rest and set off again.

To put it bluntly, the king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County just wanted to send Jia Jiu away early, so they were so polite to Jia Jiu.

In short, so far, both sides have been socially courteous, and they have spoken polite words.

Jia Jiu also knew that the other party was saying kind words, but social etiquette still didn't allow him to leave like this, and he had to talk nonsense to the other party.

Jia Jiu said: "Where, the two are the lord's honor." The younger generation is not wearing armor today, where can I get the four words armor? ”

The king of Dongping County hurriedly said: "Deserve it, deserve it." Although the two of us are not idle princes, we are almost the same. Although this king is a few years younger than Ling Zun, it is a pity that this king has only been on the battlefield a handful of times, and most of the time, he stays in the capital. ”

Dongping Junwang's words, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that what he said is still kind words. Because when the king of Dongping was young, he followed the old prince of Dongping to the battlefield. It's a pity that later, when the current emperor came to the throne, he found an excuse and raised four kings with different surnames. That is, from that time on. The king of Dongping was placed under house arrest in Beijing in disguise.

Over the years, the king of Dongping County has dreamed of restoring the glory of his ancestors.

That year, the entire northern frontier of Daqi fell under the iron cavalry of the Di people, and the soldiers of Daqi suffered heavy casualties. The imperial court was afraid of the Jin kingdom's eastward advance. was also afraid that the Song Kingdom would go north, so the old ministers were activated, and the house of the four kings and eight princes surrounded it like flies smelling blood.

Jia Yu hid by himself, but the three families of Dongping Palace, Xining Palace, and Nan'an Palace, took advantage of the situation to make a comeback at that time, pulled up a lot of people, and once again had a place in the army. Even the mansions of the other six princes who are as famous as Ning Guofu and Rongguo Mansion. They have also gained a lot of benefits.

Only except for the Beijing Palace.

The Beijing Mansion is different from these three. Even fifteen years ago, when these three families were almost under house arrest in Beijing, they still left some veterans of a hundred battles to serve as personal soldiers in the palace. Therefore. As long as these pro-soldiers are there, these three families will soon be able to get back on their feet. But King Beijing was still young when he succeeded him, and the veterans in King Beijing's mansion were either poached or sent away by the concubine. In addition, King Beijing himself thinks that the next generals will not be of much use. Therefore, taking the initiative to move closer to Wenchen also caused the loss of power and a large loss of the veterans of the Beijing Palace.

Therefore, when the opportunity came, the Dongping Palace, the Xining Palace, and the Nan'an Palace, all seized the opportunity and regained their military power, but the Beijing Palace, but the Beijing Palace, failed to seize it.

The condition of the Beijing Palace, the King of Beijing, no. Now it should be called Jing Beibo, Jing Beibo's plan. The kings of Dongping and Xining are also very clear. But what they can't see through is the Jia family.

In their opinion, the Jia family was the only family of lords who returned from the border pass alive in that war, and they also won the battle and made meritorious contributions. At that time, if Jia Yu stood up, then the Jia family would inevitably become a new giant in the army, even if it could not be like Jia Yan Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan back then, they could also become the second Yang family. But Jia Yu just hid.

It was because Jia Yu hid that they got so many benefits.

Over the years, when the King of Dongping County and the King of Xining County muttered behind their backs that Jia Yu was stupid, they were not less glad: if Jia Yu hadn't chosen to retreat that day, they would not have been able to get so many benefits.

Therefore, the kings of Dongping and Xining have very complicated feelings about Jia Yu's family.

In their eyes, as long as Jia Yu stretched out his hand at that time, glory and wealth were within reach, but Jia Yu just became a turtle with a shrunken head.

In the eyes of the kings of Dongping County and Xining County, if Jia Yu is not really stupid, then there is only one possibility: Jia Yu is afraid that he has been a lackey of the royal family a long time ago, so he will choose to retreat at that time according to the will of his superiors.

Therefore, whether it is for Jia Yu or Jia Yu's children, the king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County are very jealous. In addition, they all know that the people who follow Jia Jiu are many of the emperor's people, and this is more and more bottomless.

Just like now, they still wish that Jia Jiu could go to the front, lest they always worry that their words and deeds would be reported to the public.

Under such circumstances, the king of Dongping and the king of Xining had to choose to talk nonsense with Jia Jiu.

The king of Xining County also said: "Big niece, you are strong in martial arts, why don't you run ahead?" Didn't you agree to make new clothes for Princess Changle with a fire fox skin? ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Let the two princes laugh." It's not that the younger generation doesn't want to. It's that the horses of the younger generation can't run fast. ”

The king of Xining County pointed to Jia Jiu's or heavenly halberd and said, "I was still talking about it just now, your father is inevitably too indifferent to your affairs." This autumn hunt, who is not well prepared, is only you, you don't even have a bow and arrows, so you carry this thing. It's good for this kind of thing to be used to kill the enemy, but what is the use of him in this autumn hunt? And your horse, at first glance, is a horse pulling a cart for the family and waiting for the ladies to travel. Is this the end of your family? Don't even have a good horse? ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly said: "Let the prince smile." My father has never been interested in these things, and the younger generation has grown up so big, and he has never seen a few good horses in the family, and I heard that not only the good horses in the family, but even the few horse slaves that my grandfather trained at the beginning were also given away long before the younger generation was born. A good horse has been hard to find since ancient times. If you spend four or five thousand taels of silver to buy a horse for the sake of your juniors, first, it does not conform to the rules of the family, and second, the family will not be able to turn over in the past two years. It is not necessary to use him every day, but to make it possible. ”

The thing was done by Mrs. Wang, Jia Jiu didn't have such a good temper to carry it for Mrs. Wang, even if Mrs. Wang had already entered the loess at this time.

The king of Dongping County said: "What about the bow and arrow?" Did you come hunting without even a bow and arrows? ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's not that the juniors are humble, it's really that the juniors are not good at bows and arrows." Even if the junior pulls the bow, most of them can't shoot accurately. If it's on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if you can't aim accurately. Enemies are on both sides of the spectrum. But this autumn hunting ground is full of their own people, and it is not a trivial matter to be injured by mistake. ”

There is another real reason, even if you bring a bow and arrow, if the arrow is stolen and you do something else, it will be a big trouble after all. Even if the arrow is not lost, if someone imitates it and does something rebellious, it will be the rhythm of the whole family.

Therefore, Jia Jiu did not prepare a bow and arrow at the beginning.

Dongping Jun Wang said: "I see. I'm still muttering, you brought this halberd and a sword, and you didn't have any bows and arrows, it turned out that this is the reason. ”

The king of Xining County became interested in Jia Jiu's or Heavenly Halberd: "I think, this should be the real or Heavenly Halberd, right?" What you brought to the battlefield before should have been scaled down, is this king right? ”

Jia Jiu said: "The prince is really as wise as a torch. Yes, the two things that the juniors are carrying on their bodies today are the real Heavenly Halberd and the real Snow Falling Sword. What was previously brought to the battlefield was scaled down. Otherwise, the younger generation has a lot of strength and doesn't care about the weight of the weapon, but this size is not suitable, and it is not suitable, so it is naturally more difficult to use. ”

The king of Xining County said: "This king heard that the small weight is not light, it weighs seventy or eighty pounds, right?" And how much weight does this real or heavenly halberd weigh? Do you want to make it happen? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Or one hundred and eighty catties of heavenly halberd." ”

The king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County were both taken aback: "Yo, the weight is really not light." No wonder you have to ride a horse and walk slowly. ”

One hundred and eighty catties, plus Jia Jiu's own weight and other things, how can this weight go up to three hundred catties.

can carry a weight of more than 300 catties, and then race with others or something, such a horse, even among the war horses, can be regarded as a good horse.

"Yes. This child is the offspring of those war horses that his grandfather raised. Because his parents and grandparents were not good-looking, he stayed. This is also the best horse that the younger generation can get his hands on. ”

Only then did the king of Dongping County realize that he still spoke out.

"Let the eldest niece smile."

"Where, the prince is a man who loves horses, so he will naturally be interested in horses." (To be continued......)
