Chapter 10: Whims

In the fifth year of Taihe, October Jiashen, not corrected.

Chang'an, Chang'an County, Shanheli.

A knight in brocade hurried through the endless stream of fangmen, and his beloved horse under his crotch hurried slowly, and the sound of hooves stopped and flickered because of the crowd coming and going in the city.

As soon as he entered Shanhe Fang, the smell of barbecue, the smell of fat powder, the smell of foxes, and the smoke and fireworks in the air were intertwined, and the colorful flags and various disguises dazzled Li Han. Compared to the coldness of last night, the liveliness of goodness and harmony during the day is simply staggering.

However, Li Han did not have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this good day, and the news of Zhang Yijun's visit to Shanheli made him uneasy for a long time, forcing him to look around with great vigilance, and he couldn't help but pull the reins and let the horse go a little slower, for fear of missing even the slightest clue.

Li Shangyin said that Zhang Yijun came to Shanhefang to visit Zheng Zhu...... What are you looking for that notorious guy? Li Han's brows gradually twisted together, Zhang Yijun came to him for his own purpose, could it be that this person also has something to do with the ghost soldiers?

Zheng Zhu is Wang Shoucheng's protΓ©gΓ©, if he is an insider of the ghost soldier case, how could Wang Shoucheng not know the details?

Li Han sat on the horseback, and there was some fine sweat on his forehead.

The case has developed from involving only Xichuan at the beginning, to now it may involve the forbidden army, and the purpose of the party has become more and more confusing. King Ying couldn't help but swallow nervously, things were getting worse and worse......

The top priority is to find Zhang Yijun as soon as possible, Shanhe Lizhongqu has a place where the chaotic party is entrenched, if Zhang Yijun is targeted and in danger, it will be bad.

Li Han rode a horse slowly through the busy cross street, and suddenly heard the neighing of a horse in the distance in front of him, and the sound was very poignant, which caused the hoof of the beloved horse under Li Han's crotch to become anxious.

King Ying hurriedly sighed lightly, and rubbed his palm back and forth on the horse's neck, so that the horse's uneasiness eased slightly. Then he grabbed the horse's belly, followed the sound and rushed over, and found that the neighing came from a jade white horse, which was standing at the corner of an alley, pulling the reins in a panic, and there were many onlookers around him, some whistling, some shouting, all trying to make the horse settle down, but to no avail.

Li Han, who was well-versed in horses, could see from a distance that this was a Hedong horse with great strength, and the other end of the reins would require several people to hold it hard so as not to let the horse frighten away.

Li Han walked a little closer, and in front of the white horse were several bad people wearing dark green robes, wearing black hats on their heads, and wearing short-handled knives on their waists, three of whom looked no older than Li Xiao, and were pulling the reins vigorously, trying to make the horse chew the past, but the two forces were counterproductive, but the white horse was so painful that his front hooves kept beating the ground, almost hurting some onlookers.

Li Han is a horse lover in the end, and it is really distressing to see these freshmen treat this horse like this. However, he has more important things to do now, but he can't afford to delay here, he has to hurry through the crowd, Zheng Zhu's mansion should be in Nanqu not far ahead.

Li Han slowly pushed aside the crowd that was gathering more and more, and couldn't help but glance at the jade white steed again.

Wait a minute......

This horse...... Li Han looked at it for a while, the horse's coat was as white as jade, its muscles were solid and toned, and there was a blue star spot on its forehead.

Li Xiao remembered that Zhang Yijun once told himself that Xue Tao, a talented woman from Chengdu, once gave him a horse from the east of the Yubai River and brought it back to Chang'an.

Could it be ...... What is this horse? But...... I saw the mount, where is Zhang Yijun?

A hideous conjecture suddenly filled Li Han's head, making him feel a chill down his spine.

King Ying hurriedly dismounted, and he quickly led the horse over, pushing away the crowd with one hand.

"Xu Tou," shouted a wicked man who was laboriously tugging at the reins, "this horse is crazy, and it has no owner, so kill it!" ”

Behind the three unscrupulous men who were forbidden to hold the reins stood a fire chief, who was dressed in the same way except for the fact that he looked a little older than the others. Xu Tou scratched his head in annoyance, he looked at this high-headed horse, it was really a pity to really hurt the killer.

But he saw that the crowd of onlookers was about to block the traffic, this was Shanhefang, and if something went wrong, he couldn't afford to take this responsibility. Besides, now that thieves are raging in Chang'an City, the less this kind of crowd gathers, the better.

Xu Tou nodded, which can be regarded as approval. One of the unscrupulous men standing beside him was commanded, and immediately drew his horizontal knife with a "swish", and raised it to slash at the strong horse's neck.

"Stop!"

At the last moment, the sudden deafening roar made the bad guy with the knife stiffen, and it also caused everyone to look at each other. Xu Tou squinted and looked over, and found that there was just one person who had just come out of the crowd. This person is burly, old and weak, dressed in a silk robe, with a buckle hanging from his waist, as if he is a noble son of a certain family.

As soon as Xu Tou raised his hand and signaled the knife to stay on the horse, the bad man saw it, so he had to put the knife into the sheath stupidly, and Xu Tou turned to ask: "Is this your horse?" ”

Li Han didn't reply, he walked straight forward, took the reins from the bad guy who was holding the reins, and "Sa Yuqi" straightened his neck vigorously, trying to break free from the reins.

Seeing this, the bad guy who led the horse couldn't help but gloat and muttered to his colleagues: "Look, I said this horse was crazy a long time ago." ”

There were also whispers and pointing from the crowd of onlookers. King Ying didn't pay attention to it, his eyes looked directly at the lacquer-like eyes of "Sa Yuhu", as if he and "Sa Yuhu" were in the Yingwang Mansion in the Sixteenth Mansion at this moment, and there was no one else by his side.

Playing horses is not only about riding skills and swinging skills, but also about the care of the horses in the audience, brushing, forage feeding, farrier selection, and tacit understanding with the mount, all of which are far above the horse's skills.

King Ying didn't expect that the experience accumulated in the past would be used in an emergency at this moment. He whistled quietly and whispered words of comfort while carefully stroking the neck of "Sa Yuhu" with his right hand, rubbing his hair along it. "Sa Yuqi" seems to have understood human nature, and after only a few breaths, it no longer hisses, and its emotions have settled down.

Xu Tou and his five unscrupulous people were amazed, which made some of the onlookers lose interest, and after a while, the crowd receded like a tide. Seeing that the road was smooth again, Xu Tou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and praised the young man in brocade: "You really have a set...... Is this your horse? ”

King Ying looked at Sa Yuqi, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. He hurriedly crossed his hands at these bad people and said, "Please stay!" ”

Xu Tou and several bad people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Li Han cautiously observed the surroundings, and after confirming that no one was watching, he whispered to the unscrupulous person who looked like a fire: "If you have a request, can you come with you?" ”

The bad guys were stunned when they heard this, and then laughed. The fire chief clasped his hands to his chest again quite unreservedly, and said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "It's not a brother, why should we listen to you?" Know who we are? After speaking, I didn't forget to flick the wooden sign on my chest.

King Ying lifted the hem of his robe to reveal the vassal king's gold medal hanging from the belt of the inner lining, and he carefully covered it with the sleeves of his robe to ensure that no one else noticed his small movement.

Xu Tou was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, his eyes widened, and he bowed his hands tremblingly, and stammered when he spoke: "Minister, minister Wannian County bad people Xu and Xu Wucheng, are not polite in their words, and they have offended ......."

Li Han interrupted him: "There are many people, come with me!" ”

"Whoa!"

Xu Wucheng immediately changed his attitude, not only led people to follow closely behind King Ying, but also ordered his subordinates to help lead the horse. Although the rest of the bad people didn't see the gold medal, they didn't dare to say anything when they saw Xu Tou's reaction. They couldn't help but be curious about King Ying, but more fearful.

The group of them walked down the central street towards the east side of the Li Fang, and on the way, Li Han informed the bad man that he was visiting a thief's den in Weifu, and that he had kidnapped his staff, and it was very likely that he was in this Li Fang.

Xu Tou exchanged glances with his subordinates, tacitly: Who is so bold that even the palace staff dare to tie up? And judging from the age of this prince, I am afraid that the close relatives of today's son, and even siblings, are by no means comparable to ordinary princes. This made Xu Tou break out in a cold sweat, his own jurisdiction, there was such a thing, if this His Royal Highness pursued it, he was afraid that he would not be able to carry ten heads.

After they turned to Zhongqu, Xu Tou carefully crossed his hands and asked, "The minister dares to ask His Highness...... Can you provide us with more clues? For example, who is the name of this staff member and where he may be hiding, we would like to know the bottom of our hearts and help us search for ......"

King Ying slowed down and turned around: "His surname is ......"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Han's mind, making him stop talking.

If the chaotic party and the high-ranking people in the DPRK communicate with each other, then do these unscrupulous people in front of him also have the eyeliner of the chaotic party? Inquire here? Even--King Ying's whole body couldn't help but feel a thrill when he thought of this-maybe he was a member of the ghost soldiers.

This made Li Xiaodeng vigilant, was it too careless for him to show the waist card of the vassal king?

Just when King Ying was in doubt, a bad person who looked about the same age as him suddenly leaned forward and whispered to Xu Tou and Li Han:

"There is a shadow at the beginning of the ......"
