The guards got the order and surrounded Chen Yuan and the two in a circle, punching and kicking without mercy. The screams of mercy spread throughout the horse market for a while. It didn't take long for the two of them to faint, but whether they were really faint or fake faint remains to be considered.

"Master, the man seems to have fainted." The guard said.

Fan Ming looked at the two of them with disdain, snorted coldly, and said, "Take it back and find a place to lock it up, this matter can't be left like that." ”

"Subordinates obey."

The hustle and bustle fell, under the refined blue sky, thick white clouds floated, the air was still filled with the chill of winter, every breath was cold, and the nose of the frozen person was red.

The people who should be dispersed were scattered, Fan Ming sniffed, stepped forward and called Ziji who was about to turn around, but he didn't think about what to say, only "Hey!" With a sigh, there was no more.

Ziji turned his back to Shi Ming, glanced at him slightly, and threw the money bag that the man threw into the manger to Fan Ming, who subconsciously took it.

"They were taken away by your people, this bag of money will be given to you, I don't need this money." Ziji said lightly, smoothing the black horse's mane with his hand.

Fan Ming weighed the weight of the money bag, threw it a few times in his hand, and said, "No wonder you are angry, you still want to buy Lirong's BMW with all this money, it's really overwhelming." After he finished speaking, he casually threw the money bag to the guards behind him, and said with a smile: "You guys take it and divide it." Go back and take good care of those two mongrels, and this money is your hard-earned money. ”

The guards thanked them one after another, and they understood the meaning of Fan Ming's words very much, and said with a smile: "If the subordinates take the money, they will definitely take good care of it." ”

"Your eyesight is good, and you can even tell that this is Lirong's horse." Ziji turned his head sideways with Fan Mingdao.

Fan Ming admired the neatness of the person in front of him, and helped Mingyun block the attack, and couldn't help but shorten the distance in his heart. He smiled hesitantly, pointed at Mingyun and said, "Don't hide it, it's not what I see, it's my ——, and Brother Yun's eyes." Although I know that this is a horse breed in the Western Regions, in my eyes, this Lirong, Dog Rong, as well as Dawan, Yueshi and other places, the horses there are all about the same, I can't see it. ”

Ziji let out an "oh", looked at Mingyun and said, "Presumably, this gentleman must be a person who understands horses and loves horses." ”

Mingyun waved his hand after hearing this, and said, "My father loves horses, I just learned some fur from me, not enough to mention, not enough to mention." I think the gentleman's skills are extraordinary, and he can easily knock people to the ground with a few simple moves, which is really powerful. ”

Ziji replied with a smile: "I also learned some fur from the master, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

Mingyun couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This man, she thought, was funny to talk about. She stared at the person in front of her inquiringly, mysteriously hiding her face, and she didn't know what it looked like.

The person on the other side seemed to notice her gaze, pressed his hanging hat, and said, "It's not that I deliberately hide it, it's just that I suffered a fire disaster in my early years, and most of my face was ruined, and my appearance is very ugly." As he spoke, he lifted the veil slightly from the side, revealing his chin and a little side face and Mingyun glanced at it, and then quickly lowered the veil.

Mingyun was indeed surprised, although he only glanced at it, he saw that the side of the person's face was covered with deep and shallow scars.

Mingyun saw that his heart was a little blocked, and he hurriedly apologized and said: "This gentleman, I don't mean to offend, please forgive me." ”

After the black yarn, Ziji was a little weak-hearted, and only whispered: "It's okay." ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Mingyun blinked his big eyes a few times, and his eyes moved to the black horse, and then he remembered the purpose of squeezing over. Isn't she just here for this Lirong BMW, she has come here, she has to give it a try.

Thinking so, Mingyun got straight to the point and said: "This gentleman, in fact, I came for your horse today, I saw it from afar, and I knew that this horse was extraordinary, and I liked this horse in my heart, I don't know how much the gentleman bid?" ”

Hearing this, Ziji, who was touching the mane of a black horse, stopped his movements and asked, "Do you want to buy a horse?" ”

Mingyun said: "Exactly." She really liked the horse in front of her, and she thought: if she bought it, she would keep it for herself, and as for her cousin's one, she could find or give something else.

Mingyun was full of anticipation, just waiting for the other party to make an offer. Everything in the world, as long as it has a price, she can afford to buy it.

"Not for sale." Mingyun only listened to the other party's thoughts, and refused directly.

Mingyun's eyes blinked, and he asked again with some suspicion: "Not for sale?" ”

"Not for sale." The other party emphasized again.

"Why?" He didn't want to sell it to that Chen Yuan, Mingyun couldn't understand why this person didn't want to sell it to him. "I'll take good care of this horse." She added earnestly.

"This horse is wild, he is a stubborn temper, and if he is not familiar with taming, it is common to throw people off the horse. If I can't find the right person, I'll take it back and not sell it. The other party replied. He paused, and then said, "There are a lot of good horses in this horse market, you can go to other houses to see." But if you really want to buy it, I can recommend you someone, he has a good horse in his hand, you can go to him. ”

"Who is it?" Mingyun asked.

Ziji said: "That man's surname is Mu and he lives in the west of the city. His house is in the eighth household of Wenfang Street, you can go to him. ”

Mingyun nodded regretfully, signaling that she had written it down, but she was a little unwilling, and wanted to grind for a while, and just wanted to speak, the young man on the other side gave her a salute and said, "This gentleman, is there anything else?" ”

The children from the big family all have a delicate heart. Mingyun could hear and see that this was the meaning of expulsion, so he left with Fan Ming.

After the person left, Ziji saw the broken jade on the ground. The green jade pendant that Mingyun had just thrown out had been broken into several pieces, and they were all stained with black mud at the moment, dirty. Ziji looked at the broken jade for a while, squatted down, carefully picked up the broken jade one by one, wiped off the black mud with his hands, and put it in his sleeve pocket.

A corner of the horse market

There was a lot of trouble in the horse market just now, and there were a lot of people joining in the fun. One of the people watching the excitement happened to recognize that Chen Yuan. He and Chen Yuan often drank together in the old days, and they had a good relationship. His name is Wang Xin, he has always been timid and afraid of things, he recognized Chen Yuan at that time before, because he was afraid that Chen Yuan would recognize him and also involve him, so he hurriedly left. But the man ran for a while, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and turned back again, hiding in a safe distance and secretly watching the situation. After he saw that Chen Yuanzhen was taken away by Fan Ming's entourage, he began to panic a little, after all, the two of them were also old friends, and now that they were taken away, how could this be good?

With Wang Xin's guts, he didn't dare to run to those people and beg Chen Yuan to be released. After thinking about it, he decided to report to Chen.

The reason why Chen Yuan acted rampantly, a large part of which was because of the power in the family, his father served as a minister in the court, and the minister was in charge of the foreign-related affairs of the Jin State and other vassal states, and was one of the important positions in the court. The Chen Mansion is located in the East Side and occupies a good foothold. Wang Xin trotted all the way to the door of Chen's mansion, he held his knees breathlessly and gasped, "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

The old servant of the Chen Mansion obviously knew this Wang Xin, and he remembered that this person used to come to their mansion to drink, and he was very friendly with Chen Yuan, the eldest gentleman of his family. Now he suddenly and kept shouting, "It's not good, it's not good," and he was so frightened that the old servant panicked and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong?" But what happened to my eldest gentleman? ”

"Your gentleman has been taken away, take me to see your lord!" Wang Xin said.

The old servant was shocked: "What! My gentleman took it? Who is it? ”

Wang Xin said: "It's too late to tell you, take me to see your family." ”

"You come with me." The old servant saw that the matter was urgent, so he directly took Wang Xin into the house.

Dr. Sichen Zuo Chen Hao was looking at a scroll of books in the study, and when he heard some movement outside the house, he frowned unhappily and shouted loudly outside: "What's so noisy outside?" ”

"My lord, it's not good, Junzi Yuan has been captured!" The old servant shouted in a panic outside.

Dr. Chen stood up suddenly, walked out of the room, frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Make it clear, what is going on?" ”

Wang Xin explained to Dr. Chen what happened in the horse market today, and Dr. Chen, who listened, frowned and asked, "Who is the kid with the guard?" ”

Of course, this Wang Xin didn't know, at that time, he just wanted to quickly avoid the limelight, where did he dare to inquire about it. Doctor Chen Hao saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so the bored Wang Xin retreated, and sent someone to investigate carefully. He sat down in his seat and let out a deep sigh, and he banged his fist on the desk, always feeling that things were not going to go too well.

In the afternoon, Xinjiang City is still full of traffic and is very prosperous.

Ziji's horse has still not been sold to anyone. When the market was about to close, he took the black horse back with him. The hooves of the black horse slowly stepped on the noisy and noisy streets, very leisurely, and seemed to feel the hustle and bustle of the Jin royal capital. The houses and buildings on both sides of the road are lined up, the street vendors push the trucks and shout and sell, the food stalls are wafting with the hot aroma, and everywhere you look, there are people buzzing and lively.

After walking through countless corners and alleys, a small farm yard appeared in Ziji's field of vision. The small courtyard is next to a small workshop, and the outside of the small workshop is fenced into a large courtyard, which looks like an ordinary farm house from the outside. Through the fence, you can hear the sound of firewood crackling in the house, and you can smell the sweet smell of boiling sugar in the cauldron from afar.
