brought the independent jade staircase, so that all horses were suspicious. -------Clear. Ye Shu "Song of the Netherlands Entering the Maxima"

It is said that Chen Long and Zhang Ning walked along the corner of the high slope by the Wei River, going around and around, believing in the reins of the horse, and found a few fragments of the palm of the clay figurines, introducing a small thief hole. The two climbed to the end of the cave and found a small crypt with only a statue of a terracotta soldier.

Chen Long guessed that this was the outer detention center of Xianyang City under the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Sure enough, I continued to dig in, and I encountered a thick layer of rammed earth, and I couldn't get an inch. The crypt chamber was empty, and only one terracotta figurine stood in the center, and Chen Long saw that the broken arm of the terracotta figurine was broken from the upper end of the elbow, thinking that half of the arm had been removed by the tomb robber in front of him.

Chen Long took a closer look and saw that the oil paint on the face of the terracotta figurine had fallen off, thinking that after the robbery hole was opened, the air circulation had gradually oxidized. The terracotta figurines are dressed in armor, tied with silk around their waists, their expressions are serious, their eyes are wide open, and they are very energetic. The fracture of the elbow is uneven, Chen Long uses fire to fold close to the fracture, and the fire is faint, illuminating the painted pottery at the fracture.

Chen Long's original intention was to see what the inside of the hollow broken elbow was like, but unexpectedly, the fire was everywhere, and he found that the inner part of the upper arm was actually closed. Chen Long said: "A hollow mud tire, why should it be closed here?" ”

Zhang Ning didn't know why, and guessed: "It may be related to the process, is it carved one by one and then glued together?" ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "There is a possibility." Didn't you know that there was such an advanced bonding process at that time? If it is a blank carving as a whole, it is better to understand. ”

Zhang Ning said: "Anyway, it's all broken, just break it and look inside." ”

Chen Long cut a palm on the edge of the upper arm of the terracotta figurines, the upper arm was unbearable palm power, and it was broken in half, and a roll of round objects, the brush slipped down from the broken upper arm, Chen Long's hand was fast, and he copied it from the air.

Zhang Ning screamed, took the fire fold from Chen Long's hand, Chen Long unfolded the round object, and looked closely, it was actually a book. Looking at the first page of the book, there are three big characters: "Group Rest Gong." ”

In Chen Long's heart, a monstrous wave surged, and the ecstasy rushed straight to the top hair. Due to the rush of the crossing, he couldn't have time to sweep the full set of group rest skills into the light brain, which has always been Chen Long's biggest regret, and it also limited his progress in internal strength. For a while, blood filled the top of his head, and Chen Long shouted: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" ”

Zhang Ning didn't know that the group rest gong was the magic skill that Chen Long thought about day and night, chewing on the poem that Chen Long blurted out, only to feel that it was another famous sentence. Chen Long picked up Zhang Ning and kissed him, and said, "Chang'an and my party, this is my biggest gain." ”

Zhang Ning was happy when she saw her husband, and said with a smile: "If there are really thousands of troops and horses in the mausoleum, do you want to break them one by one to find treasures?" ”

Chen Long was dumbfounded, and a few black lines appeared in his head. I thought that if Mei Niang smashed the thousands of terracotta figurines inside, she would not become a sinner in history, and future generations would never have the opportunity to see the complete terracotta warriors.

In the afternoon, Chen Long and Zhang Ning rode back to Chang'an Beihengmen, seeing that the east and west cities were still bustling, Zhang Ning inadvertently glanced at the direction of the west market, Chen Long saw it, and knew that Zhang Ning was thinking about Lian Na, but the price was too high, and he didn't want Chen Long to be embarrassed.

Chen Long hurriedly took his beloved wife's hand and said, "Chang'an has already given me a gift of reunion, how can I let my beloved wife return empty-handed." Lena is a good horse, and it's a pity to miss it. I already have claws and yellow lightning, and Lianna can just be used as a mount for Mei Niang. Let's see if Rahan sells it. Without saying anything, he pulled Zhang Ning and walked to the West Market.

The West Market is full of people and the transaction is hot, but Lahan is gone. Zhang Ning said disappointedly: "I think Bole who already has a discerning eye bought it." ”

Chen Long didn't want his beloved wife to be disappointed, so he got on the back of the horse and looked around, then dismounted and asked the other horse dealer next to him: "There was a horse dealer from the Western Regions in the morning, named Lahan, have you ever seen it?" ”

"I've seen it, he pulled a good horse to sell today, but unfortunately the price is too high. In the end, no one cared, and he pulled the horse away. ”

"Do you know where Rahan lives?"

"I don't know. However, most of the horse dealers from the Western Regions rented in the villages outside the Western City, where the rent was cheap and they could herd horses. ”

Chen Long thanked him, and went out of Xicheng with Zhang Ning. Outside the west gate is an official road, and you can't ride for a few miles, and you can see a village in the distance.

The village is built along the official road, and there are many hawkers on the side of the road. The two rode slowly through the main street of the village, regretting that they did not find anything, and Chen Long asked a few villagers, but they had no impression of Lahan.

Zhang Ning said disappointedly: "Wenlong, you don't have to look for it anymore, it's going to be late, and the return trip is important." As he spoke, he got on his horse and raised his whip, and shouted loudly: "Go home, drive!" Drive! "Vent the frustration in my heart.

Chen Long got on the horse, and was about to raise the whip to chase after him, when a distant neighing suddenly sounded in Ling's ears, and then the neighing sound seemed to come from far and near, and a jujube red horse galloped from the end of the fork in the village, the speed was extremely fast, and it swept in front of Chen Long's horse's head, and he made a sharp turn, went up to the main street, and chased straight in the direction of Zhang Ning. Behind the horse, panting and chasing out the figure of a man from the Western Regions, shouted: "Lianna! Lianna! "It's Rahan.

Chen Long was overjoyed, Lian Na actually heard Zhang Ning's voice and chased after him desperately, it seems that Zhang Ning is really the owner of Lian Na determined by God. Jumping off his horse, he stopped Rahan and said, "Rahan, do you remember me?" ”

Lahan stopped his steps, recognized at a glance that Long Chen was the customer who was watching the horse in the morning, and said hurriedly: "Lian Na didn't know what was crazy, and she didn't listen to the call." Shall I lend you a horse? ”

Chen Long smiled: "You don't have to borrow a horse. Lian Na is extremely smart, and when she heard the clumsy shout, she already ran to confess the Lord. ”

Rahan was taken aback and said, "Lianna ran to confess the Lord by herself? This...... How can it be? ”

Long Chen laughed and said, "That's the case! But don't worry, the money is here, I'll add another 1,000 taels or 7,000 taels of silver to you, how about it? ”

Lahan hesitated for a while, sighed and said, "Lianna has her own choice, and I am happy for her." In that case, let her go. Lianna is like my daughter, you must treat her well. ”

Long Chen smiled: "This is natural. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Let's catch up with Lian Na and Humble Jing." But I didn't have that much silver with me, so I'll discuss with you how to get it later. ”

On the side of the official road, Zhang Ning was happily stroking Lian Na's smooth and shiny neck, Lian Na hissed repeatedly, and one person and one horse were very affectionate. Rahan was dumbfounded, but Lianna recognized the old master, so she still ran over and rubbed Rahan's shoulder.

Lahan said compassionately: "Lianna, you have chosen your master, but you must serve well and not be willful. ”

Zhang Ning listened and hurriedly said, "Lianna, are you willing to sell?" ”

Lahan nodded, and Long Chen said, "Seven thousand taels are good." After a while, I will return to Chang'an to deliver, and borrow Boss Zhong's first. Zhang Ning listened, and saw that Lian Na looked at a few people majestically, very well-behaved, which was really endearing, so he no longer objected, thinking that this gift was too valuable.

Rahan went back and fetched Lenna's saddle pon, which was depicted with some halal characters and paintings from the Western Regions, which was very exotic. After the equipment was completed, Rahan smiled and pointed to the saddle and said, "This saddle is made by my wife for Lianna, madam, please." ”

Zhang Ning was overjoyed, jumped on the saddle bridge, only to feel very wide and stable, his legs were lightly clamped, Lian Na was full of spirituality, and his legs kicked in the morning, like flying away. Chen Long and Lahan hurriedly got on two horses and chased along the official road, and after a while, they saw the outline of the majestic city of Chang'an in the distance.

Chen Long slowed down his horse speed and talked with Lahan while walking, and the topic did not leave the BMW of the Western Regions. Lahan has walked the Silk Road for many years, and he is also an old horse who knows the way, talking about the Book of Horses, and talking endlessly for a while, and talking about many Silk Road scenery, what desert lonely smoke, what Gobi wind and sand, what oasis cover, what flames and mountains, listening to Chen Long yearning.

Chen Long's heart moved: "Lahan, I won't tell you, I originally lived in Lingling County in the far south of the Han Dynasty. There is a shortage of war horses there, and people like you are needed. Why not sell your BMW there? I'm willing to open a path for you. ”

Rahan narrowed his eyes, touched his beard, shook his head and said, "Is it still far from Chang'an?" It is estimated that there are many inconveniences in walking. ”

Chen Long continued to instigate: "You sell horses to the Han Dynasty horse dealers in Chang'an, and these people will also go to the south to sell at a higher price, why don't you just go over and sell them?" should be profitable. Chang'an is not far from Yunxian County, Nanyang County, where there is a ferry on the Han River, and I have a large number of merchant ships that can carry more horses to Lingling, and can even send people to help you protect the horses along the way. ”

Rahan agreed to consider it, but was clearly unimpressed by the proposal. Chen Long knew that it was useless to talk more, so he chatted about the Book of Horses, and Lahan resumed his rambling again.

Zhang Ning arrived at the city gate early, stopped his horse and waited for the two, and was very fond of Lian Na's sweaty BMWs. The three of them entered the city together, and when they arrived at Zhong Yu's inn, they saw several carriages parked in the inn, and it was obvious that the supplies and vehicles for departure were ready. Zhong Xuan and Guo Jia all came out to greet them, and when they saw Lahan's face from the Western Regions, they all came over to greet him. Seeing the handsome Lian Na, they all stroked Lian Na's neck affectionately, praised the good horse, and Zhang Ning, who took off the veil when he listened, smiled. It is rare for Zhang Ning to be so beautiful, and he couldn't help but be in a daze.

Chen Long asked Boss Zhong how much cash was available for delivery. Boss Zhong just packed up the softness, and hurriedly said: "Three thousand taels of silver at home, leave two thousand taels for Zhong Xuan, and one thousand taels are ready to be taken to Lingling." Is the lord ready to use it? ”

Chen Long heard so little, there were no silver tickets and money houses at that time, and he could only trade with five baht coins and silver taels, Chen Long remembered that this was not Luoyang Zhaoda, and there were many silver taels prepared all year round, and now it was really stretched to buy horses. Turning his head to look at Zhou Budo, he muttered, "Yuan Zhi, how many taels of cash are there for us on the road?" ”

Zhou Budo frowned and got into a carriage to count the money, and shouted in the car: "Lord, there are only five hundred taels left!" ”

Seeing that Long Chen frowned, Zhong Yu hurriedly said, "Lord, if it's not enough, why don't I go find someone to borrow it?" How much do you want to borrow? ”

Chen Longtou felt a pain and said, "Three thousand five hundred taels." Zhong Yu took a breath and said, "So expensive? ”

When Long Chen saw Zhang Ning coming over, he was afraid that she would be embarrassed when he saw Zhong Yu, so he pushed him not to buy Lian Na, and said with a smile: "This is still a seven-fold discount, Lian Na is a sweaty BMW, not expensive at all." ”

Zhong Yu scratched his head and said, "Old man, I'm going to borrow it, I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow so much at once." Then he turned around and left.

Lahan, who was watching from the side, was staring at Zhang Ning in a daze, but Zhong Yu turned around and woke him up. Lahan stopped Zhong Yu and said to Chen Long: "This brother, didn't you say that I should go to Lingling to sell horses?" I just thought about it, if you go by water, it really doesn't take any effort. Since I can't get the money together now, can I go with you to Lingling to get it? By the way, we will investigate the route. It's just that I still have a lot of buddies, and I need to go to Lingling together tomorrow to get silver. ”

Chen Long was overjoyed and said, "This is the best!" But you don't need to bring it, I will naturally send someone to send Lahan and Yinzi back to Chang'an together, after all, Boss Zhong still needs cash to do things here. ”

Lahan nodded, glanced at Zhang Ning, and suddenly boasted: "Your lady is so beautiful, like the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, comparing to the beauties of our Western Regions." ”

Chen Long knew that only Han people would be cowardly and secretive in praising women, and the Hu people in the Western Regions praised them in person, not insulting, and they were the most sincere. Hearing this, he didn't think he was angry, he smiled, and thought to himself, I wasted a lot of saliva along the way, and I didn't say that I would move you to Lingling to sell horses, it was better to use a beautiful trick.

Zhang Ning listened to the praise, saw Chen Longxi smiling, and waved his hand with a slightly red face: "Since this is the case, let's set off together tomorrow morning!" ”
