Standing on tiptoe, he patted Gu Jinzhen on the shoulder twice, "It's okay, identity, face or something, then you want to be recognized by others, and it is yours who are willing to give it to you, but the strength is your own, with strength, do you still need others to admit it?" ”

"That's what I thought too." Gu Jinzhen answered seriously, and her heart was very ironing.

Sure enough, he understands him best, and he thinks the same way.

"This horse farm belongs to the Marquis of Zhenyuan?" Qiao Lixi asked without scruples.

Gu Jinzhen nodded, not intending to hide it from Qiao Lixi, "It's obviously a horse merchant's horse farm, but it's actually my grandfather's." ”

Qiao Lixi was a little strange, "In this case, it's not that you have to get a horse merchant to come out." ”

"Or what do you think?" Gu Jinzhen raised her eyebrows.

Troublesome.

Qiao Yixi understood the intention of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but she just felt troublesome.

Gu Jinzhen chuckled, "This horse farm provides two thousand war horses every year. ”

"So, is that more or less?" Qiao Yixi asked very humbly.

The attention was taken away by Gu Jinzhen, and Qiao Lixi followed him to the intersection of the racecourse.

"The number of war horses in the imperial dynasty cannot be this number, and it is impossible for all of them to be provided by a horse merchant."

"Is it because of profit?" Qiao Yixi asked.

Gu Jinzhen stood firm, "Interests are part of it, and there is also the balance of power. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Yixi understood.

Those who can be horse merchants will first undergo a qualification assessment, which is equivalent to a modern political examination, their own financial resources are a part, the relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China is a part, and most importantly, there is no obvious side.

At least you can't support a certain minister or a certain prince on the surface.

War horses are related to war, war needs generals and soldiers, and the transfer of soldiers and soldiers needs soldiers.

Soldiers!

One of the must-have standard equipment for palace buckets.

So, it's still about rights.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Jinzhen raised his hand and rubbed it twice on the top of Qiao Yixi's head.

Smooth to the touch, it's simply not too comfortable.

"After all, what are you doing?" Qiao Yixi tilted her head and glared at her warningly.

This guy really can't give a good face.

Jin Baijin glanced left and right, and always felt that there was something wrong with Gu Jinzhen and Qiao Lixi's way of getting along, and he couldn't say why.

The racecourse is very heavily guarded, and without a special pass, even Gu Jinzhen can't enter and exit casually.

After shaking the token in his hand, Gu Jinzhen took Qiao Yixi and the others in.

There are more than a dozen people at the entrance, similar to the sentinels of a modern military district, fully armed, and judging from their figures, their martial arts should not be low.

Of course, a huge horse farm can't be done by these people alone.

Qiao Lixi glanced to the side.

A few black horses were tied there, presumably as a means of transportation in case of an emergency, such as when seeking an increase in numbers.

Qiao Lixi didn't know how big the racecourse was, but she only knew that as soon as she entered the racecourse, Gu Jinzhen took them towards the stable, and she didn't call the steward, Tang Yuan directly took out five horses.

Gu Jinzhen glanced at him appreciatively.

"Jojo." Chong Qiao Yixi stretched out his hand.

Qiao Lixi didn't think much about it, and helped Gu Jinzhen's hand to get on the horse, and then, Gu Jinzhen also got on the same horse.

Wrapping Qiao Lixi in her arms, Gu Jinzhen's body was slightly stiff, and her ears were unnaturally red.

Qiao Yixi moved her body slightly, barely chose a comfortable position, and nervously pulled the reins.

"Qiaoqiao, are you afraid?" The soft voice brushed on the earlobe, Qiao Lixi shrunk her neck, and her fingertips moved.

"Don't be afraid," she said stiffly, "but you'll have to slow down." ”

Practicing martial arts does not mean being bold, although she is excited, she is still very careful about safety.

Kim Ba Kim looked at Gu Jinzhen vigilantly.

This guy has intentions for Jojo!

Because of the particularity of the Jin family's heirs, the children of the Jin family are precocious, and they know about men and women earlier than their peers, not to mention, Jin Baijin has also experienced forced marriage, and he is even more experienced.

The speed of the group was very slow, and Qiao Lixi shrank in Gu Jinzhen's arms and looked left and right.

To put it simply, this horse farm is very secluded, it is a low-lying area, right in a mountain stream, and it is inaccessible. From the edge of the area, there are traps and traps, and it is really difficult to get here without anyone to lead them.

Moreover, this is also a military stronghold, and how heavily guarded it is, you can know it by looking at the posture in front of you, not to mention ......

Qiao Yixi secretly poked left and right.

The seemingly empty mountain stream, in fact, there are many people lurking in the shadows, since it is the person of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the martial arts should not be low.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Jinzhen asked without words.

Retracting her sluggish emotions, Qiao Lixi said with a smile: "I'm thinking, this horse farm shouldn't be Gu Sheng's, right?" ”

"You know that, too?" Gu Jinzhen said exaggeratedly.

Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes, "What else do you have that you can get?" ”

"That's it for now." Gu Jinzhen said honestly.

Thinking that it was because of Qiao Yixi's first horseback riding, Gu Jinzhen controlled the speed very slowly.

However, it was still a little bumpy for Qiao Yixi, and she shrank back slightly.

Gu Jin was blessed to the heart, and his calf quietly tapped the horse's belly twice, and the horse suddenly trotted up.

Qiao Lixi was startled for a moment, and instinctively shrank into his arms.

The corners of Gu Jinzhen's lips hooked, and he wrapped one hand around Qiao Lixi's waist with one hand, pinched the reins with the other, and secretly poked and poked the horse's belly with the amplitude of the bump.

I don't know how long it took to be bumpy, and when Qiao Yixi's buttocks hurt, there was finally no way ahead.

Gu Jinzhen pulled his arm, turned the horse's head around, and ran towards the bushes on the left, and after passing a narrow path, his vision gradually widened.

It's a lot of work.

It was just a muddy path, and Qiao Yixi noticed more than a dozen breaths of different lengths, at least nearly twenty people lurking.

Out of the bushes, and somehow turned a few times, Qiao Lixi finally saw the real horse farm and turned back excitedly.

"Isn't it shocking?" The corners of Gu Jinzhen's mouth were doting smiles.

Qiao Yixi nodded "mmmmmm

On the open grassland, the black pressed area is full of black horses grazing with their heads bowed, not to mention anything else, the oily and slippery color alone shows that these horses are very strong.

"The grass here is specially planted, and there are many more such grasslands behind, and there are ...... over there," Gu Jinzhen pointed in the direction, "It's a training ground." ”

Qiao Yixi understands this.

Since it is a war horse, in addition to eating and sleeping well, training is also a necessary course. Only well-trained horses can gallop on the battlefield and fight alongside the soldiers. It can be said that war horses are not just mounts on the battlefield, they are also weapons, and when used properly, they are also very lethal.

"Would you like to see it?"

"Is that okay?" Qiao Lixi knew that these were military secrets, and her curiosity was not very heavy.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

With a force on his wrist, he pulled the reins, and the horse's head changed direction.

Kim Birkin covered his mouth and looked at Zhong Chenglin in surprise.

Zhong Chenglin pouted innocently.

For Gu Jinzhen, when it comes to Qiao Yixi, there is nothing that is impossible.

The drill ground is large and standardized, with all kinds of obstacles.

"Would you like to try it?" Gu Jinzhen said bewildermently.

Qiao Yixi hesitated.

"It's okay, I'll take you." didn't give Qiao Yixi a chance to think, Gu Jinzhen had already reached the starting line.

"Let's try it too." Kimberkin is ready to move.

Zhong Chenglin said disgustedly: "Just you? Don't throw yourself off. ”

Qiao Yixi was a little nervous, and she didn't know how to put her hands and feet.

Gu Jinzhen chuckled, held her hand, let her pull the reins, covered her small hands with her big hands, tightened her arms, and held Qiao Yixi in her arms.

Qiao Lixi was also docile, leaning tightly against Gu Jinzhen's chest, her legs clamped.

Gu Jin smiled triumphantly, his legs were strong, and the well-trained horse began to start.

The speed is not fast, it is quite smooth, Gu Jinzhen's rhythm is well controlled, one vertical and one jump, Qiao Yixi exclaimed, and crossed the first obstacle.

Qiao Lixi was excited, turned around, and smiled sweetly at Gu Jinzhen.

Under the sun, the delicate skin is crystal clear, like a good Hetian jade, the milky white color, people can't help but want to take a bite, the breath of mint is light and light, lingering on the tip of the nose, indescribably pleasing to the eye.

Under Mei's eyes, the long eyelashes cast a faint shadow, like the finishing touch in an ink painting, and the whole picture immediately came to life. The upturned corners of the mouth faintly reveal two tiger teeth, charming and delicate.

With her arms tightened, Gu Jinzhen took Qiao Lixi in her arms and said solemnly: "Sit tight, don't move, beware of falling." ”

Rice balls and rice cakes, one left and one right, followed closely by Gu Jinzhen's side, Zhong Chenglin and Jin Baijin Palace.

After running for a lap, Qiao Yixi relaxed a lot, and pulled Gu Jinzhen for a lap before getting off the horse satisfied.

The horse farm is very large, but Qiao Lixi is not ready to go deeper, after all, it is related to confidentiality, and her curiosity is not so serious.

The group arrived at the camp.

The workers here are specially selected from the Shen family's army, some are responsible for taking care of the war horses, serving their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and some are specifically responsible for training the war horses, of course, there are also veterinarians, a full set of configurations, and interstellar services.

In order to accommodate so many people, living quarters were built to ensure the most basic necessities of life.

Of course, these people, along with those in charge of security, have a holiday every month, and these people are trusted generations of loyalty, otherwise they would not have been entrusted with important tasks.

Gu Jinzhen led everyone to a separate room.

This is an en-suite room, with rooms similar to transepts on the left and right.

Qiao Yixi took a cursory look.

Whether it is the furnishings or the layout of the house, it is simple and atmospheric, and it has a military style.

"Master, the hot pot is ready, is it served now?" The smiling steward has the flavor of Maitreya Buddha.

"Uh-huh, well, bring it now." Qiao Yixi nodded seriously.

Before coming, Gu Jinzhen asked her for her meaning, thinking that she hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time, so she ordered this.

The hot pot is prepared to save trouble, and the meal is also enjoyable. 、

"Eh, it's raining?" Kimberkin suddenly said.

Qiao Yixi looked out the window.

It rains a lot at night in Jincheng, and it rarely rains so heavily during the day.

The rain came suddenly, with a chill.

Gu Jinzhen took off the cloak from the hanger, carefully draped it on Qiao Yixi, and asked someone to light the brazier.

"There's a lot of temperature difference here, there's a lot of rain, and it's cool in the summer."

Qiao Lixi was curious to see everything, and chatted without words.
