Chapter 104: The maple sounded softly

The birds chirp pleasantly, and the morning breeze is sorrowful.

Ye Yinxiao and the others set off early in the morning, and the group hurried away, shuttling through the mountains and forests, and arrived at the horse farm of the Tongyou faction in the valley in the evening. The stream is sparkling, and in the light of the sunset, it is full of colors.

Luo Li and Tu Muze, who were in charge of taking care of the horses, happened to be driving the horses back when they saw that they had stopped.

"Luo Li, give each of us a good horse, we are going to Suzhou." Ye Yinxiao handed the letter from the head of the house to Luo Li.

"Hello! Tumuze, you take them to choose. Luo Li checked the letterhead and left to get the certificate.

Bai Qiuchi was very excited in his heart, and immediately observed the horses.

"Look at a skin from afar, and look at the limbs and hooves up close. Look at the chest width in the front and the buttocks in the back. When the waist is pinched, the nose is pinched and squeezed. Shaking in front of his eyes, he opened his mouth to look carefully. Hurry up and take a walk, it's better to ride. Xie Jingyao recited a smooth passage, but it was a mantra for choosing a good horse.

Bai Qiuchi was a little dazed, he had also trained in horseback archery before, but how to pick a horse was not systematically learned.

"'Look at a piece of skin from afar' means to look at the whole picture of the horse, including coat color, nutrition, body size, body structure, body proportion, etc. Look at the hooves of the limbs up close', the four legs are an important organ of the horse's movement, and the limbs have a great relationship with the hooves and the horse's ability, so it is necessary to look closely and closely. It is necessary to see whether the limb posture is correct, the thickness of the tube bone and bone rod, the number and strength of the tendons, the tube and the system should be carefully looked at and touched, and the size of the hoof, the quality of the hoof, the length of the hoof hair, etc. should be carefully observed. Rong Hao explained and demonstrated.

"'Look at the width of the chest in front' is the width of the chest in front, not too wide, not too narrow, it is better to accommodate one hoof, but also to see the fullness of the muscles." 'Back to see buttocks' refers to the back to see if the jiri and buttocks are strong, fleshy, and neat. Xie Jingyao nodded and said.

"'When the waist pinch' to check whether the resistance of the back and waist is strong, and at the same time take a look at the armor (also called the front mountain) and the jiri (also called the back mountain), compare the height of the front and back, as the saying goes, 'the front mountain is high and do not need to be picked'; whether the back and waist are wide and straight, and whether the combination with the jiri is natural or not, etc." Tu Muze also joined the discussion, and when it came to his favorite horse, he couldn't stop, "Nose squeezing and squeezing: check the nose for any diseases, such as horse meliacosis, and at the same time look at the height of the nose bridge and the size of the nostrils. 'Shake it three times, little brother, and make the horse's head face to the sun, and shake it three times with your hand in front of the horse's eyes, to check the horse's vision, and to observe the shape of the eyeball. 'Open and look carefully' is mainly based on the teeth to confirm the age of the horse, and check the quality of the teeth, shape, etc., the bite of the upper and lower jaws such as whether it is "heaven and earth" and "earth and earth", etc., but our horses here have all been registered, you can check directly. ”

"Thank you." Rong Hao finally summed it up, "'Hurry up and take a walk' is to see the appearance, to see if the hoof prints fall on a straight line when moving in a straight line, and to see if the horse's legs are lame." 'It is best to ride a ride to check if the horse has any shortcomings when carrying weight and moving fast. Especially when riding a horse, you should ride it to see if the movement is light and flexible. Of course, it would be nice to be able to stay at the horse farm for many days on end to observe and ride, but we are about to get on our way. ”

"There is still so much to learn." White Autumn Pond Road.

After a while, everyone had chosen their horses. Gong Xueyi was still worried about whether Bai Qiuchi could travel for a long time, but Ye Yinxiao helped him give a positive answer. For Bai Qiuchi, who gets along almost day and night, he is still quite confident.

Out of the river valley, you have to walk two days on the mountain road to reach the relatively flat road.

"It's Motong Ridge in front, if you choose a location for an ambush, this is a good place." Gu Liulin said.

In fact, the mountainous areas around the Tongyou faction were very peaceful, but unfortunately there were a group of fierce people who fled from the north in recent years, and occasionally went to disturb the people. This time, they are not here to eliminate the bandits, the head of the family has his own arrangements, and they need to arrive in Suzhou quickly.

"The boss is really. If he had eliminated these bandits sooner, we wouldn't have to hide now. Xie Jingyao said very unceremoniously.

"It's not that easy. These people are also shrewd and often pretend to be local people. ”

"Wouldn't that notice a difference in accent?" "Because a lot of people with northern accents have fled recently."

"If it's just going to pass through here, I've got an idea." Xie Jingyao thought for a while and said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Please help me find some branches and dead grass." Xie Jingyao said.

A few masters came out, and after a while, the materials were all ready.

Xie Jingyao asked Bai Qiuchi for help, and a scarecrow was made in a hurry. They dressed it, put a hat on it, and put it on the horse.

The horse is also very smart, Gu Liulin whispered a few times, and commanded the horse to carry the scarecrow forward quickly, without looking carefully, he really thought it was a passing traveler, and he was carrying a big burden.

If there is really an enemy ambush, and you see a person who is alone and has a big burden, you will definitely not let it go.

Sure enough, when the horses ran past from a distance, seven or eight men rushed out of the hillside. The masters of the Tongyou Sect had already leaned over gently.

Where were these bandits their opponents, and before they could figure out who was sacred, they were knocked to the ground and tied up before they could figure out who was rushing out from behind.

"What are you going to do with these people?" Everyone asked Ye Yinxiao.

"We sent a signal to the mountain, tied them to a tree, and Rong Hao waited here to confirm that there was an answer to send them to the yamen, and you can catch up with us again."

"No problem." Rong Hao nodded.

They tied these people to a tree some distance from here, and Rong Hao took care of them, while the others quickly packed up and continued on their way.

The rest of the road was much smoother.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five days later.

Suzhou.

It is worthy of being a prosperous place for businessmen, with light singing and dancing everywhere, crowds of people, and very lively.

It was the first time that Bai Qiuchi went down the mountain, and when I looked left and right, I felt that everything was new. The others were not surprised and walked straight to their destination. Bai Qiuchi immediately chased after him and stopped looking.

The Qianyang faction of the Yu family.

Yu Cang has already received the flying pigeon summons, and has been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Yemen."

"Lord of the Feather Gate."

When two people meet each other, they will inevitably be polite. Ye Yinxiao, Gu Liulin, and Gong Xueyi stayed in the hall to continue to discuss important matters, and the rest of the disciples Bai Qiuchi and Xie Jingyao rested in their respective rooms under the guidance of the maid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Go and rest first. I still have some things to say to the Feather Gate. After discussing this mission, Ye Yinxiao stayed.

Ye Yinxiao took out the easy-to-feel snow-colored jade pendant, and Yu Cang knew it.

"Lord Yemen and I come." Yu Cang led him to the dark room in the mansion.

"Lord Yemen, tomorrow is Chongyang, so people will come at noon tomorrow. If you are not in the house, please come by yourself. "Yucang taught Ye Yinxiao how to open the secret door, and Ye Yinxiao remembered them one by one.

"Thank you, Lord Yumen."

"You're welcome. Tonight, a banquet will be held in the lower hall to wash the dust for you. ”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Give it back! Give it back! ”

It seems to have become the daily routine of Yufu, as long as Lu Chen has the opportunity to play, he will involuntarily bully Yu Tear Hong, either to rob her things, or to catch some bugs to scare her, only Yu Lan was born to stop him. But it's a pity that Yu Lansheng is not at home today.

Lu Chen was very happy in his heart and said, "Don't give it!" He knew that Yu Tear was running slowly, and deliberately stopped to wait for her.

They chased all the way to the guest room.

Bai Qiuchi was packing up his things, and suddenly heard some noise outside, so he came out to see the situation.

I saw a little girl choking back tears, stretched out her hand to a boy, and still insisted on saying, "Give it back to me." ”

The boy was holding a windmill with a bell on it, and it was obvious that he had robbed the girl.

This reminded him of the scene where he was bullied by Cheng Zheng in the Tongyou faction. At that time, he knew that if he wanted not to be bullied, he had to be stronger.

Bai Qiuchi was upright, so he naturally couldn't get used to Lu Chen's behavior, so he rushed over directly and pulled out the windmill at once.

"Who are you?" Lu Chen is about the same age as him, he hasn't seen Bai Qiuchi, he guesses it's a descendant of Yufu, right?

"My name is Bai Qiuchi, and I am a guest of the Yu Mansion."

"Guest, do you know who I am?" Lu Chen looked arrogant.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Bai Qiuchi replied.

"Humph!" Lu Chen said angrily, "I'm Lu Chen, the son of the Lu family on the rich side!" ”

"Oh, I don't know." Bai Qiuchi said very calmly.

In Lu Chen's memory, everyone was holding the moon to his stars, where had he received such a cold reception, he gritted his teeth in anger, and immediately stretched out his fist and hit Bai Qiuchi.

Yu Tear Rainbow closed his eyes nervously and didn't dare to look, but Lu Chen's painful screams came from his ears, and when he opened his eyes, Bai Qiuchi was clasping his fist with his backhand, making him unable to move, and it hurt a little bit.

"Please apologize to this girl." Bai Qiuchi said.

"Okay, good......" Lu Chen agreed in pain.

As a result, as soon as Bai Qiuchi let go of his hand, Lu Chen punched him again. This time, Yu Tear Rainbow didn't close her eyes, and watched Lu Chen be framed again.

"I ...... I was wrong...... Right...... I'm sorry. Lu Chen also knew that he couldn't beat this bastard boy from an unknown source, so he had to give in.

Bai Qiuchi turned his head and asked Yu Tear Rainbow: "Do you forgive him?" ”

"Hmm. I forgive. "Yu Tear Hong is very kind, even though she has been bullied, she also chooses to forgive.

"Let's go."

Bai Qiuchi let go of Lu Chen, and he immediately staggered towards the gate, with cruel words in his mouth: "You wait!" ”

Who knew that Bai Qiuchi looked indifferent.

"Are you alright?" Bai Qiuchi asked Yu Tear Rainbow gently.

"It's fine. Actually, he'll give it back to me eventually. Feather Tear shook her head.

"Here you go."

Yu Tear smiled sweetly and took the windmill with both hands.

The maple leaves in the courtyard are fluttering, and the red color is stunningly bright. The windmill was blown and spun, and the bells on it made a pleasant sound.

"Thank you." Yu Tear introduced herself, "My name is Yu Tear Rainbow. ”

"The rainbow of the rainbow?" Bai Qiuchi asked.

"Yes." The pink skirt of the feather tears was also swaying in the wind, her eyes were clear and bright, but there was no blood on her face.

"That's good." Bai Qiuchi also smiled.
