Chapter 323: Undercover
Sun Hui has been coming to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, to inquire for some days.
The dark blue flag on the high pole flutters in the glow, and it is embroidered with gold thread with strange words, which can only be recognized by the learned person who looks closely as a vigorous Xia Wen "horse". The sun sets on both ends of the long street opposite the flagpole, and the guy is returning the horse to the big circle behind the house, and the shopkeeper is clearing the day's income on the counter, and there are fewer people on the street.
In front of a shop surnamed Liang in the horse market, there are three or two spectators and men in the sleeves to compare the price of horses, the guy yawns and shakes his arms impatiently, and the long-sleeved hand finally stretches out three fingers, let the other party pinch hard, and no longer change.
Seeing that the horseman's eyebrows were squeezed together, he said in a low voice: "Brother, no matter how little, the younger brother will not have enough money." ”
"Less?" The man's eyes widened, "Then I can't mess around in the Liang family." Why don't you look at it and think about it again? ”
A shout came from Liang Nei, "Ren Wu, what are you doing, hurry up." ”
The man yelled into the room, "What is the noise, what is the noise, I didn't see any guests, so I came." He turned back to the guest and smiled perfunctorily.
In the stable of Liang Ji, the four guys were gambling together, and the thin man who had just shouted at Ren Wu raised his head high, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.
The other tall man's back, but it was so stiff that it almost slammed on the table, he wiped his sweat and "opened...... Open, hey, you hold your hands steady, don't shake. ”
The thin man opened the porcelain bowl very casually, his eyes suddenly lit up, first took the copper coin in front of him, and then hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ahaha." ”
"Lady thief, it's too timely." The tall man raised his head and said to Sun Hui, who was under the pseudonym Xiao Ming: "Old Xiao, borrow a few." ”
"I've bought tobacco this month, and I have everything I have."
The tall man looked at the table in front of Sun Hui, where three copper coins were placed alone.
"You, if you don't, you don't have tobacco." The tall man muttered to another guy to borrow money.
Sun Hui fiddled with the copper coin in front of him absently.
The three Western Xia copper coins in his hand were valuable collector's items in later generations, but now they can't buy anything.
The thin man's towering eyes glanced at Sun Hui, but he didn't say a word, put away the money he had won, and walked outside the house to look at the sky alone.
The tall man borrowed a few and shouted at the thin man: "Zhou Ping, come on, come on, open again and open again." ”
"a fart." The thin man named Zhou Ping looked at the sky, looked at the passers-by at the entrance of Wangma City from afar, and said, "Don't play, let's do it tomorrow." ”
"You!" The tall man slapped the table with a slap, shaking the porcelain bowl.
"What? Don't want to do it anymore? I don't want to talk about it. Zhou Ping walked back leisurely, stuck in front of the tall man, and raised his head again.
The tall man held back for a long time, and his angry face actually squeezed out a smile, "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, tomorrow will kill you." ”
"Look at you like that, you're bored." Zhou Ping said and walked away, and everyone dispersed.
Sun Hui looked at this scene with a very market atmosphere, and sighed secretly in his heart.
As the capital of Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion is far less prosperous than Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, but the customs here are indeed different from Kaifeng, and there is another flavor.
After a while, the light in front of Sun Hui suddenly dimmed, and he raised his head to find that the boss was staring at him coldly not far away. Behind the boss, Zhou Ping's face was full of color.
"Boss, you're back." Sun Hui hurriedly got up. Since he wants to pretend to be a guy in the horse market, he has to do something like it.
The boss only stopped at Sun Hui, then turned around and said, "Lord Wei, the deputy commander of the Tielin Cavalry, will arrive immediately, and he will come to choose the good horse of our Liang family." A few of you are waiting carefully, Ren Five. ”
Ren Wu walked over briskly.
"Go to the back and pick the best horses."
Ren Wu ran to the backyard like a gust of wind.
"Zhou Ping."
"The little ones are here."
"Go to Deshengfang to order a table of banquets, ask for the best, and keep the Liang family's account."
"The little one understands."
"Stones." Boss Liang ordered his subordinates to do things in an orderly manner, and Sun Hui watched quietly, without feeling frustrated.
He came here just to inquire about the whereabouts of a man.
When the day fell below the city pass, Wei Muheng, the deputy commander of the Tielin Cavalry, came to the Liang stables on time.
Boss Liang's courteous hospitality, Wei Muheng only smiled decently. He put his hand on the shoulder of the tall man in the seat and patted it, and said, "I won't sit down." ”
He was dressed in a purple-red robe, the long knife at his waist was simple and heavy, his temples were like blades, his crown was hanging down, and his burly figure stood in front of the stones, which suddenly made the stableman small.
"General Wei is really a famous general of our 'Great White Kingdom', and his gestures are everyone's demeanor." Boss Liang smiled and raised his thumbs.
Wei Muheng smiled and said, "Xiangguo means that I will go to the people to see if there are any good horses to ride in the iron forest." I heard that the horse market here is famous, so stop by and have a look. ”
"Yes, yes." Boss Liang said, "A good rider in the army, which small shop like ours can compare." However, the Liang family has been in business for so many years, but there are still some family backgrounds that can be seen, I have heard that the general knows horses, and I am here today, no matter what, please help Liang take a look. ”
Wei Muheng waved his hand kindly and said, "Since you are here, of course you have to see." ”
Boss Liang said with a smile: "Ren Wu, all the animals in the family are brought out!" The voice of the shouting was strong and powerful, and it was actually the high tone of the horse gang when the horse gang was walking.
Ren Wu walked out of the backyard, with a divine horse on the left and right. Ma Yang on the left is like a light weight, his eyes are like electricity, and his body is so white that there is not a trace of spurs. The horse on the right is as red as red as thunder, but the flicking steel tail is as black as charcoal. Ren Wu led the horse to a stop on the long street.
Wei Muheng only glanced at it, then walked to the horse and took a closer look.
"This white ......" Boss Liang followed behind Wei Muheng and was about to explain, but was stopped by the tall Tielin rider waving his hand. Wei Muheng touched the long ears of the two horses, pinched the leg bones, circled around the horses, stopped and asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
"Serve!" Boss Liang responded.
This time, Sun Hui moved quickly, he took out a mud-sealed wine jar from the secret drawer in the counter, and respectfully put it into Wei Muheng's hand.
Wei Muheng took the wine jar, snapped his little finger and flicked open the mud, the aroma of wine seeped out in the moisture of the horse's breathing, and even the owners of the horse market who came to inquire outside the stable couldn't help but be amazed.
"Purple Spring?" Wei Muheng turned his head to stare at Sun Hui. Sun Hui met his gaze, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Wei Muheng asked, "Yours?" ”
Sun Hui shook his head and said, "Boss Liang is a person who understands wine, and this wine is prepared for you by the boss." ”
Wei Muheng looked at Boss Liang and said, "Really? ”
"The general is mighty, the tiger among people, in my second thought, only this purple spring can be worthy of you."
Wei Muheng didn't answer, raised his head and took a sip, smiled and nodded at Boss Liang. When Boss Liang saw that General Wei finally showed his appearance, his heart was also relieved, and his smile unconsciously floated up.
