Zhu Manzhi rode a horse to the post station in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, because he went out late, and left in the middle of the day, and the city gate must be closed when he returned.

Stealing royal horses is an old case, last summer, the king of Qi in Qingzhou searched for a batch of snow horses in Mobei and sent them to the capital to congratulate the Son of Heaven on his birthday. There are thirty of them, among which there is a one-in-a-million wind-chasing horse, which is the same as Xu Buling.

Dayue's warriors are everywhere, horses, swords, wine, and beauties, basically no one dislikes them. Chasing the wind does not dare to go extravagantly, can get a snow horse has no regrets for life, even the wealthy families of Kuishou Street, each family has at most one or two, when the façade is offered, it is generally the head of the family who goes out to accompany the Son of Heaven to travel before riding.

The king of Qi paid tribute to thirty good horses, and many generals in the court were waiting for the holy reward, and many daring rangers were naturally red-eyed.

Naturally, no one dares to steal the horse king chasing the wind, and he doesn't dare to ride out if he steals, it is too conspicuous and easy to recognize, and he loses two horses stepping on the snow. It's not a big deal, but it makes many courtiers who like horses quite painful, and they directly lose two reward places.

The courtiers were unhappy, and the Investigation Department, which was responsible for supervising the bandits in the rivers and lakes, naturally had to take the blame, but this matter could not be investigated. The snow horse can't travel thousands of miles a day but can run five or six hundred, and it is out of Chang'an early at night, how to chase?

Therefore, this case has become an unsolved case, and the thief has basically not been solved if he does not turn himself in, and he has been thrown in the Investigation Department, and whoever picks it up has a headache.

Zhu Manzhi just entered the Tianzi Battalion with low qualifications and no teammates, and he couldn't receive any big and important cases, so he took over this case casually in order to sneak into the case library, and now that the matter is over, the case is not over, and he has to go to investigate.

Pedal Pedal –

Three fast horses stepped through the unmelted snowfield, because the snow stopped, a round of crescent moon hung in the sky, the sea of stars twinkled, the Xiongcheng Chang'an behind was no longer visible, and the suburbs were silent in all directions.

Zhu Manzhi pulled up the face towel around his neck to shield himself from the cold wind, revealing only a pair of big watery eyes, with a knife at his waist on his side, and the strong wind blew his robes and robes to hunt.

"It's really a chore, I said I shouldn't take this case, it's been almost two years, and the two horses I lost are estimated to have cubs, where to find ......"

"Wang Dazhuang, let's help Manzhi, what are you talking about? Man Zhi'er is lucky, maybe he will solve the case, and when the time comes, Man Zhi will be promoted to become the commander, and our brothers may be able to enter the Tianzi camp and hang up the wooden card for a lifetime, you are not ashamed? ”

"Hey—you're quite ambitious......"

The two horses in the rear kept talking and laughing, both of them were old oilmen of the wolf guard, and they were no different from being distracted, and they didn't think about doing anything.

There was a post station twenty miles away, and the horse's hooves were galloping, and gradually they saw a little light in the distance, and the three of them also entered the area where there was no shop in front of the village.

Zhu Manzhi was a little tired from the bumps, and his hands were almost frozen, so he leaned over and prepared to speed up to the post station to rest.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard from behind, 'stamping, stomping, stomping,' approaching at a very fast speed.

The wolf guards at the bottom are also wolf guards, all of them are killed from ordinary hunting, Liu Hou'er is the oldest, and immediately stopped talking and raised the horse whip in his hand: "Be careful, the comer is not good." ”

If an ordinary horse runs with all its might, the distance is too far and the horse is injured, unless there is a surprise attack or escape, otherwise no one will drive the horse without death. There wasn't even a bird around the three of them, and it was self-evident who the people behind were rushing to.

Zhu Manzhi came back to his senses, and looked back with a knife on his waist, but saw a big horse galloping over, bringing snow foam flying, and a person holding a spear on it, flashing a cold light in the moonlight.

Wang Dazhuang took off the one-handed shield from the side of the horse, and held the knife in his right hand with a slightly gloomy face: "Coming at us, fight or escape?" ”

As for why someone came at them, there was no time to think about it at this time, the distance of half a mile was too short, and they could quickly catch up with them if they ran wildly with all their might.

Liu Hou'er was the leader of the three-person team, and without the slightest hesitation at this time, he took off the hook and sickle from the side of the horse, and then grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the post station:

"With one enemy and three enemies, you must come prepared, don't be wrong."

Zhu Manzhi didn't dare to be careless, the horsewhip was whipped violently, and he took the lead in galloping to get rid of the Jianghu guests behind.

It's just that the three of them didn't run far on the official road, and another figure appeared on the black hole road in front of them, riding a horse in the middle of the official road, also wearing a hat on his head, carrying a big knife on his shoulder, and not moving in the night.

"Phew~"

The three of them reined in their horses at the same time, stopped abruptly on the official road, and looked back and forth, their hearts sank......

————

The night breeze is blowing, the bright moonlight is sprinkled between thousands of streets and hundreds of squares, the Langting wine shop is prosperous, and the central government is a prosperous scene.

Xu Buling carefully walked out of Changle Palace with two jars of old wine, although he was ashamed of it, but his heart was still beautiful, and he was thinking about whether to find an opportunity for Xiao Ting to write a poem for the Queen Mother to compensate, when he heard a call:

"Little Wangye, Little Wangye!"

Looking up, Lao Xiao walked towards the imperial city with a cane, and raised his hand from afar.

Xu Buling was a little puzzled, walked quickly to the palace gate, frowned and asked, "What?" Something is wrong? ”

Lao Xiao's soft and collapsed little hat was crooked, and he sighed: "I guess yes, didn't the little prince let the old seven and eight stare at the two girls, I went to Daye Fang in the afternoon and found that the old seven were gone, and there was a mark left next to the tea stall, saying that there were two people staring at Zhu Manzhi." I went to investigate, and Zhu Manzhi went to investigate the case of stealing the imperial horse today, I'm afraid I went out of the city to the eastern suburbs of the station. I don't know the details of the people who came, I can't do it without permission, little prince, you see ......"

Xu Buling's eyes condensed slightly, and the secret was not good.

The eight dead soldiers that King Su later sent to him were all from the secret pile and were alert, but their skills were not top-notch, because someone in Chang'an City killed him, and the eight grandmasters may not be able to keep it, and the Weihe ambush is an example.

"If the other party dares to move the wolf guard, he must come prepared, and Lao Qi will definitely not be able to beat it alone."

After Xu Buling finished speaking, he handed the wine jar to Lao Xiao and whistled.

"Hiss~"

The fierce horse neighed, the horse's hooves were like thunder, and in the stables on the side of the imperial city, the wind-chasing horse jumped out directly from behind the horse fence and galloped to the outside of the palace gate.

Xu Buling jumped on the horse in a big stride, and Lao Xiao hurriedly said: "Little prince, I don't know the details of the other party, so I rushed to save the snake, beware of the grass and startled the snake......"

Xu Buling slammed the horse's belly and rushed out: "I don't want to do anything, why do I have to look ahead and backward." Those who dare to move Lao Tzu, what about beating the grass and startling the snake, the dragon king probe will also kill it. ”

Lao Xiao's words came suddenly, thought about it, shook his head and sighed: "It's the same...... 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry stood behind, what kind of person can't be killed......"
