"Ouch-"

After a wail, the man on horseback was kicked down.

Immediately after, a figure jumped onto the horse's back, his posture was as fast as lightning, the reins were pulled, the horse was in pain, the boss neighed, the front hooves were raised high, and the man and the horse suddenly formed a "one" word.

Yuan Mindong came in from the crowd of onlookers, walked up to Xie Fenghua, looked at her nervously, and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Was there any injury just now? ”

Suffering from this change, Xie Fenghua had come back to his senses and pulled Zhuqiu to the side. Seeing the nervous young man in front of her, she also showed a relaxed smile and shook her head: "I'm fine." How did you end up here? ”

"I ...... I came out for tea with Commander Dou. Yuan Mindong glanced at Dou Changke on horseback and said in a low voice.

"I see!" Xie Fenghua said casually, and only after the horse's hooves were firmly on the ground did she look at Dou Changke on horseback.

But I saw Dou Changke wearing a black power suit, holding the reins tightly at the moment, his lips were pursed, his expression was cold, and the figure clinging to the horse's back was slender and straight, with smooth and beautiful lines, all revealing the masculine beauty that belongs to a man.

Yuan Mindong looked at the sunlight, and suddenly felt that the figure was dazzling and dazzling, and unconsciously squinted.

At this moment, Dou Changke had already harnessed the horse, turned over from the horse, and smiled heartily at Xie Fenghua: "Young lady, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xie Fenghua smiled, and was about to say something more, but then there was an arrogant shout, "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the master!" Don't know the identity of the master? ”

A few people followed the sound and looked, but saw a man wearing a golden glittering suit walking over, with a sharp beak and a thin body, like a wild monkey running out of the mountains. When he saw Xie Fenghua, his gaze suddenly became obscene, and the straight people felt disdain.

Seeing this, Dou Changke's face turned cold, so he stood in front of Xie Fenghua, and said unhappily: "Hurting people in the city, Your Excellency is really a good skill." ”

Unexpectedly, the man sneered, pointed at the people around him, and shouted, "Hurt? Who did the master hurt? You said it yourself, did the master hurt you? ”

The people around immediately took a big step back and shook their heads in denial.

- Apparently they all know this arrogant man.

Xie Fenghua's eyes became cold, he put aside Dou Changke and walked forward, and said in a cold voice: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in front of the Imperial City, it is the first time I have seen someone so arrogant. What house are you from? ”

Dou Changke's eyebrows jumped, and he unconsciously glanced at her more.

Why is this tone so much like the boss?

The man smiled proudly, his eyebrows seemed to fly into the sky, and he shouted to the entourage beside him: "It's the first time I've seen such an unseen person. You come and tell her, who is the master! ”

An entourage stood up with a swaggering look, "You remember clearly, my young master is the son of Shangshu Mansion!" Why don't you hurry up and salute our son? ”

"Salute?" Yuan Mindong sneered, and said with disdain, "I thought it was a noble person from a mansion." But I don't want to, the son of a mere Ministry of Industry Shangshu dares to be so presumptuous! What an eye-opener! ”

Xie Fenghua's eyes deepened, and then he remembered that after Gong Fanchao died, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry fell on Li Gongxin's head.

And this Li Gongxin, who was originally just a little-known official from abroad, happened to return to Beijing to report on his work, and caught up with a good opportunity, so he was entrusted with an important task by the emperor and stayed in Tianjing.

But he didn't want his son Li Pingyi to be so arrogant!

Don't you still think that this is a small city far away from the emperor of the sky?

For Li Pingyi, since his father was promoted to stay in Beijing, his identity has also reached a new level. Especially when the threshold of the family was almost broken by the people who came to give gifts, he even had an illusion of pride, and he became more and more domineering in Tianjing.

At this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, being ridiculed by Yuan Mindong like this, he suddenly became angry, pointed at Yuan Mindong and shouted: "Little white face, you show respect to the master!" Do you know my father......"

"What about your father?" Dou Changke slapped his hand away and said viciously, "Your father is very capable?" Do you know who he is? How dare you point that at him? If you call your father, you may not dare to be so arrogant! Let's show respect to the master! ”

Dou Changke has been in the army all year round, and he is also contaminated with some market atmosphere. At this moment, he was forced in front of Li Pingyi, his sword eyebrows were upside down, his black face was threatening, and he looked like a ruffian hooligan.

Li Pingyi was already bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and he couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, but he didn't want to admit defeat in front of him, so he stiffened his neck and shouted: "Little master doesn't care who he is!" If it's really a big shot, why hide behind a man? Isn't it a rabbit? ”

"You are presumptuous!" Yuan Mindong was so angry that he was about to rush up, but he saw Dou Changke punch Li Pingyi's head crooked, if it wasn't for Xie Fenghua to stop him, I was afraid that he would have already made up for it.

He stood side by side with Yuan Mindong and shouted, "Boy, don't be too arrogant!" Let me tell you, the two people standing in front of you, one is the young lady of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, and the other is the younger brother of the Dingyuan Marquis. I advise you to be a little restrained, otherwise you can go back and ask your father now, and see if he dares to let you come out and make trouble! ”

Hearing this, Li Pingyi's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back.

He actually provoked the people of Dingyuan Hou!

One or two!

No matter how ignorant he was, he had heard the name of the Marquis of Dingyuan countless times from his father. Thinking of him humiliating Dingyuanhou's younger brother so much just now, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he fainted on the spot.

The Li Mansion's entourage hurriedly carried him away.

"What kind of thing is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?" Dou Changke waved his fist at those who fled in embarrassment, and snorted, "The name of Dingyuan Hou is really useful!" When will I get to this point of intimidation? ”

Xie Fenghua glared at him, and his voice changed, but he asked again: "Now the Ministry of Industry has been arrogant to this point?" ”

Is Li Gongxin stupid, or is there something else?

After her reminder, Dou Changke also felt that this matter was extremely unusual. He was about to say something, but when he caught a glimpse of the horse standing quietly next to him out of the corner of his eye, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode over, stroking the hair on the horse's back with both hands, as if he had seen some rare treasure, and sighed: "My good boy, it's actually a sweaty horse!" ”

Xie Fenghua was taken aback, walked over to take a look, and couldn't help but wonder: "I'm afraid you're not wrong, right?" How precious is sweat and blood, how can a little boy of Shangshu Mansion have it? ”

In the Liang Dynasty, sweat and blood horses were limited to the royal family, and ordinary people rarely saw them once in their lives. It was hard for her to believe that any horse rampaging through the street in Li Shangshu's mansion was so rare.

Being questioned by her like this, Dou Changke was a little dissatisfied: "Young lady, you can't believe my vision?" ”

Xie Fenghua nodded hurriedly.

Dou Changke poked his head again and asked Xiang Yuan Mindong, "Second Young Master, what do you say?" ”

Yuan Mindong lifted his eyes and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "I can't say this either." I've never seen a bloody horse, but I've heard that the horse is very precious, and I think it's very rare......"

With that, his head hung lower.

"Then you also think the young lady is right?" Dou Changke looked like he hated iron but not steel, gritted his teeth, led the horse and walked to the west street, "Since you all think I'm talking nonsense, let's go find someone to identify and identify." I remember that there was a horse market in the west of Tianjing, and the people there were sharp-eyed, and they could definitely tell if this was a bloody BMW! ”

After saying that, the man had already jumped on the horse's back and ran away without a shadow in an instant.

Xie Fenghua shook her head helplessly, but suddenly, she felt as if a gaze had fallen on her, which made her very uncomfortable. She glanced around, but saw that there were no people coming and going, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Yuan Mindong didn't notice her abnormality, and when he walked past her by mistake, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, let's follow quickly." ”

Xie Fenghua temporarily suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and walked towards the horse market to the west.

……

The horse market is a special place in Tianshangjing, and the special thing is that it is a mixed fish, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Jing Zhaoyin.

In addition to the people of this dynasty, there are many merchants from other countries who buy and sell horses. There have been fights before, and there has even been blood. Jing Zhaoyin took over the case, but it almost caused a conflict between the two countries.

Since then, the emperor has issued a decree strictly prohibiting Jing Zhaoyin from meddling in the affairs of the horse market.

The horse market has always been very lively.

When Xie Fenghua and his party walked in, many people looked sideways. First, these three people have too strong temperament, and at first glance they are completely different from the people who bargain in the horse market, and second, the man in the front even rode in.

In the horse market, there are only people on horseback, and I have never seen anyone on horseback.

What's to be done?

For a while, many people's eyes were focused on Dou Changke. When he saw the horse under his seat, those eyes lit up a little, and then Dou Changke's way was blocked by a group of people.

"Little brother, your horse looks good, can you sell it or not?"

"Little brother, I'll pay five hundred taels, and you can sell me this horse, okay?"

"I'll give a thousand taels ......"

The price shouted higher and higher, Dou Changke proudly raised his eyebrows at the two behind him, then turned around and arched his hand towards those who stood in the way, and said with a smile: "Thank you brothers for cheering." It's just that I like this horse very much, but I can't cut my love. ”

Hearing this, many people left disappointed, and some continued to offer without giving up, but they were all euphemistically rejected by Dou Changke. But seeing him slowly walk through the crowd, he came to a row of fenced horse pens, and shouted inside: "Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng, is you there?" ”

"Who called me?" But I saw a middle-aged man stand up from the crowded horse, wiped the mud in his hands, and when he saw Dou Changke on the horse, he suddenly ran out quickly, and said happily, "It's you kid!" Are you still alive? But how long has it been since I saw you......"

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Dou Changke hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Uncle Feng, what are you crying about?" Isn't that okay with me? You see, I brought you something good today! ”

"You boy! When I heard the bad news about Marshal Xie, I thought you were ...... Who knows, it's really fate......" Uncle Feng wiped the corners of his eyes casually, muttered a few words, but looked behind him, suddenly his face was overjoyed, he stepped forward and touched the horse, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

"Picked it up on the road." Dou Changke raised his eyebrows indifferently, but his expression was indescribably proud.

Xie Fenghua really couldn't stand his appearance, and hurriedly asked, "This horse is very precious?" ”

"It's hard to find!" Uncle Feng's face seemed to be glowing, and he emphasized, "This is a hard-to-find sweat and blood BMW!" Even the royal family may not be seen by everyone! It's normal that you don't know each other. ”

"Then how did you know each other?" Yuan Mindong was puzzled.

Dou Changke poked his head out from behind Uncle Feng and sighed: "Uncle Feng is a person who travels from south to north, what rare things have you never seen?" Right, Uncle Feng? ”

Uncle Feng made a gesture to hit him, but he jumped away all of a sudden, and couldn't help but blow his beard and stare at him, "You kid, it's getting more and more uneasy." Where did you get such a precious horse? Speak clearly! ”

Dou Changke shrugged his shoulders, and said in a hurry: "I said it all, it was really picked up on the road." Don't believe it, you ask them. ”

Uncle Feng looked at Xie Fenghua and the others suspiciously, and after receiving a positive answer, his brows furrowed a little tighter, "It shouldn't be!" How could a bloody BMW be picked up on the road? ”

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Dou Changke described what happened just now, and said at the end: "Uncle Feng, in the past, there was Bole and Maxima, and now there is me Dou Changke picking up sweat and blood BMW, which can be regarded as an adventure, right?" ”

Uncle Feng was about to refute him, when he suddenly felt a commotion around him, and hurriedly pulled the three of them to the side.

Xie Fenghua raised his eyes to look, but saw that the crowd in front of him on the left suddenly gave way, and a team of horses walked slowly, the leader was wearing a dark color suit, standing tall on a horse, with a cold expression, and his eyes were sharp and scanning the movements around him.

Behind him, all the tall horses followed closely, and it was impossible to ignore.

Dou Changke's eyebrows and eyes flashed with doubt, and asked, "Uncle Feng, these horses were all bought by this person?" ”

Uncle Feng frowned, but nodded, "Yes." In the past two or three months, there have always been people who come to the horse market to buy a batch of horses, and each time they have to buy a team. If it weren't for the fact that the people who come to buy horses are different every time, I would have wondered if it was the same master. ”

Xie Fenghua's heart moved, and his eyes flashed with a sly look, "How often do these people come?" ”

"I'll come once every half a month!" Uncle Feng said again, "And, the strange thing is that although these people are different, they all bought them from the same person. The people of this horse market are envious of the man who sold the horse. ”

"Do you know where these horses are going?" Xie Fenghua asked again.

Uncle Feng also shook his head, "Who will have time to track these things!" Since Jing Zhaoyin stopped caring about this place, business here has become more and more difficult. Alas, it's all a handful of bitter tears! ”

Uncle Feng sighed heavily, then turned around and patted Dou Changke's shoulder, and said loudly: "Boy! Since you're here, come and have two drinks with me! You wait, I'll go get the wine first! ”

After speaking, before Dou Changke could stop him, he had already dodged into the low room next to him.

Dou Changke shook his head helplessly, but when he turned his head, he saw Xie Fenghua's thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but be curious: "Young lady, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking, you probably won't be able to drink it." Xie Fenghua stared at him with burning eyes and asked, "Do you want to find out?" ”

"Yes." It was Yuan Mindong who spoke first, but it was different from the excitement in Xie Fenghua's eyes, his face was full of solemnity and doubt, "Sister-in-law, maybe we should really follow and have a look." With so many horses, it is impossible to sell them for no reason. I always feel that this is not an easy matter. ”

"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Dou Changke pushed the two of them forward, and then ran to the door of the low house and shouted, "Uncle Feng, let this horse go to you first, but you can help me take care of it!" ”

When Uncle Feng came out with the wine jug, there was no one at the door, he looked at the sweaty BMW next to him, and couldn't help scolding: "This stinky boy, I really don't know how to hide it!" The sweaty BMW dares to be thrown outside, and he is not worried about being taken away! ”

Dou Changke, who was rushing away, naturally couldn't hear his nagging. The group of three carefully concealed their whereabouts, followed the horse team not far behind, passed through the empty alleys, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

The weirdness in Xie Fenghua's heart deepened a little, and after following a few alleys, he suddenly sent a message to the Hou Mansion. The two people next to her looked at her inexplicably, but they listened to her and said, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of just in case." I'm sure now that there's some secret hidden in it. ”

As for what secrets are hidden, follow them all the way, and you will always find out.

The other two also sensed the caution in her attitude, and became fully guarded. I thought that when passing through the city gate, this special team of horses would always be interrogated, but the city guard only glanced at it and let it go.

It seems that the city guards have become accustomed to the frequent departure of this horse caravan.

A group of three people followed the horse team out of the city, along the way are spacious official roads, their figures hide in the trees on both sides of the official road, and then followed, and they actually arrived at a small tea house far away from Tianshangjing.

This tea house is not small to say, but it is not very big. Dou Changke followed all the way, and he was already a little thirsty, so he wanted to jump off the tree and go find some tea to drink.

It's just that Xie Fenghua stretched out his hand to hold him.

"Don't go." Xie Fenghua shook his head at him.

Dou Changke stepped on the air with one foot, and when he heard her say this, his body shook, and then he stuck back to the trunk, holding the trunk and wondering: "Why can't you go?" ”

"Look there." Yuan Mindong observed carefully, and when Xie Fenghua stopped him, he found an abnormality, and pointed to the people in the tea house, "The people in this tea house and the people who bought horses obviously know each other." ”

Dou Changke's mind didn't turn around, and he asked directly, "So what?" ”

"Very suspicious." Yuan Mindong twisted his eyebrows and pondered, "Think about it, this person has bought so many horses, and there are people here to answer them, isn't it enough to explain some problems?" ”

Dou Changke didn't have the patience to think about the meaning of his words, and said a little impatiently: "What does it mean?" If you have something to say, you can say it directly, but don't let people lose their appetite. ”

Xie Fenghua had already said in a deep voice: "These people have a problem. Uncle Feng also said just now that every time a different person comes to buy a horse, but following it all the way, you can see that these people are the same people. And since the other party has tried his best to cover his whereabouts, presumably the purpose of buying a horse is not simple. ”

Dou Changke didn't understand, "But even if you try your best to cover up your whereabouts, won't we find out?" ”

"And before us?" Yuan Mindong raised his eyebrows and asked.

Dou Changke was stunned, and couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

Indeed, before them, there may have been doubts, but only doubts.

From the other side, it can also be explained that this trick made by the other party can still confuse the eyes of many people. So, what is their purpose?

"I'm more curious about what they're going to do here?" Xie Fenghua stared at the tea house with burning eyes, and the expression on his face was obscure.

The other two couldn't answer her question, and they were silent for a while.

After a while, Dou Changke couldn't help but ask her, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”

"Keep following." Xie Fenghua said without hesitation.

Now that she has discovered that this matter is hidden, she will definitely not give up halfway. Moreover, she had also carefully observed just now that the horses bought by the other party were strong and did not look like they were for ordinary use.

And where this kind of horse goes is also the place she cares about the most.

As soon as these words came out, Dou Changke and Yuan Mindong had no objections, and now they couldn't rashly appear in front of those people, but the three of them hid in the tree with a very tacit understanding.

Soon after, the team was back on its way. It's just that this time there was a different team leader, and Xie Fenghua also found that there were a lot of packages on the horseback, so I thought it should have been installed in the tea house.

The three of them followed for a long time, and after dark, the caravan stopped in a wilderness town. After the leader entered the town, he went to a courtyard on the west side, first drove the horses into the fence, then set up a tent on the ground, and made a bonfire.

When the three people who followed secretly saw it, their eyes were a little more puzzled.

At this time, he heard a squeak at the door, followed by five men walking in, and said respectfully to the team leader: "I've seen Captain Li." ”

Captain Li nodded, glanced at the person in the middle, smiled, and went into the tent.

The other four walked away with strange expressions.

Seeing this, Xie Fenghua hurriedly said to the two people beside him: "You stay here, don't be discovered." I'll take a look. ”

So saying, she jumped off the wall with agility, bent her waist, and tiptoed to the tent. Since there were two trees growing around the tent, it was good to hide her shadow, but I saw her lying on the ground silently, and slowly moved over.

At this moment, there seemed to be a whipping sound from inside the tent, and something mixed with it sounded like a bit of pain.

Xie Fenghua felt a trace of surprise in his heart, found a dark corner, carefully broke open a hole in the tent, and lay on the ground to look inside.

At this sight, her pupils contracted suddenly, and she suddenly felt that her internal organs were about to vomit out.

She clutched her mouth sharply, as if she couldn't avoid it, and the loach slipped over the wall.

On the other side of the wall, seeing her come back, the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked in unison.

"Sister-in-law, you were so risky just now......"

"Did the young lady find anything......

As soon as the words fell, the two of them looked at each other again, but Yuan Mindong lowered his head, while Dou Changke followed up and asked, "Young lady, where is ......?"

Xie Fenghua's face was a little strange, thinking of the scene he had just seen, he suddenly felt nauseous again, and hurriedly shook his head and took a big breath, "Don't ask, I just don't know." ”

Thinking that it would not be over so soon, she walked a little farther until she came to the fork in the alley, and suddenly her expression was cold, she looked around, and said coldly: "Come out!" ”

Dou Changke and Yuan Mindong suddenly looked nervous and vigilant, and when they saw the figure walking at the end of the alley, they couldn't help but say in unison: "Second Young Master Du, how could it be you?" ”

This overlapping sound caused Xie Fenghua to take a few more looks.

And Du Huaishao walked forward slowly, but his eyes stayed on Xie Fenghua's face, and he admired: "The young lady of the Hou Mansion is so smart, no wonder the Marquis of Dingyuan wants to withdraw from the relationship with Miss Xie San no matter what, and is determined to marry you." ”

Yuan Mindong frowned and corrected him, "My brother is going to marry a sister-in-law. ”

Xie Fenghua couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, what are these words?

Dou Changke couldn't help laughing, but he didn't want to make Yuan Mindong's eyes red, and he was dissatisfied: "You laugh again!" If something happens to my sister-in-law, you and I won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

"Just him?" Dou Changke pointed at Du Huaishao, rolled up his sleeves quite dissatisfied, and his tone was full of disdain, "You don't go to inquire, when I followed the boss to the battlefield to kill the enemy, where was he?" ”

Du Huaishao was not annoyed, just looked at Xie Fenghua and asked, "The young lady deliberately called me out, it shouldn't just be to watch you bickering, right?" ”

"Of course not." Xie Fenghua had a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I want to ask you to do me a favor!" ”

"What's the busy?" Du Huaishao raised his eyebrows.

Xie Fenghua pointed to the other end of the wall and smiled brighter, "Help me seduce that person." Oh, that Captain Lee. ”

Du Huaishao's face suddenly turned black into the bottom of the pot......
