Chapter 282: The beast is drunk
In the west of the ancient town, in addition to the cavalry training ground, there are more than 30 horse pens, the horse rings are placed in the north of the training ground, and there is a large amount of forage in the middle, which can be obtained from other places, and the purpose is to provide a large number of horses for the ancient town. It was not an easy task to hide such a large cavalry, and it required a lot of additional costs just to buy forage and bring it in. But the distress is the distress, and it is worth it.
There were thirty-six horse pens in all, and the first one in the northernmost east was reserved for the annoying fierce horse. Following Yang Zhi, before coming to the horse circle, I saw a horse lying on the open space within a radius of dozens of zhang, the horse's ears were small and the nose was wide, and the hooves were like the mouth of a bowl, and what was even more surprising was that the horse's whole body hair was red, as if it was dyed with blood, and its eyes were squinted, and it snorted from time to time, lying in the sun, looking lazy. Yang Zhi kicked the gate with his foot, and when the horse heard the sound, his ears pricked up, and he immediately became alert, and he stood up and looked directly at a few people in front of the gate, and a pair of horses had a little disdain in their eyes.
Zhao Yougong opened his mouth in surprise, this horse looks really mighty, looking at the pair of horse eyes, he is also happy, the expression in the horse's eyes can be revealed, it can be seen that this horse is very human. After just a short period of effort, Zhao Yougong fell in love with this horse, such a miraculous horse, if it could be subdued, wouldn't it be beautiful? Thinking about subduing this horse, the person pushed open the gate, and when he saw Zhao Yougong about to walk in, Yang Zhi was startled, and hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, you can be more careful, this beast is very fierce." ”
After listening to Yang Zhi's words, Zhao Yougong was also relieved, just thinking about this horse, but he really didn't know how to subdue it, ordinary methods would definitely not work. Can he Zhao someone compare to the horse trainer? I looked down and thought about it. Beckon. Calling Ana closer, Tierre commanded, "Ana, go to the inn and bring all the wine stored there." ”
"Well, Your Highness, what do you want to drink, do you still want to drink with this horse?" Ana asked casually. King Zhao Xiaojun took a straight look in his eyes and sighed, "Hey, when did you become the roundworm in the belly of this king?" ”
Ana covered her smile and pulled Ah Jiu to the inn, Yang Zhi scratched his head a little dumbfounded, "Your Highness, you want to let this beast drink?" Can it be done? ”
"Whether it can be done or not, try it to know" The reason why Zhao Yougong thought of wine was not to think about it randomly. The horse has a slender body, a narrow chest and a long back. The legs are strong, muscular, and the hair is short and bright, but from these looks, it looks a lot like the legendary sweaty BMW. Sweat and blood BMW, is also graded, among which the hair color is single, the ears and eyes are keen, and the curvature is the top grade, because this kind of horse is the most humane, and the horse is extremely strong, this is the king of horses. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the most famous are the three famous horses of the late Han Dynasty, the Red Rabbit, the Lu, and the Jueying, and it is said that the Red Rabbit Horse was surrendered with wine. What we do today is just borrowing the law of our ancestors.
After a while, Ana and Ah Jiu ran over with two jars of wine, took the two jars of wine and walked in with their heads held high. The hind hooves rubbed the ground, the horse's belly tightened, and when he saw the posture of the red horse, Zhao Yougong quickly stopped and did not continue to move forward. Good fellow, this horse is really proud, just a little closer, and wants to use force.
"Good horse, brother Ma, don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, this is a good thing, wine, you must not have drunk it, right? Would you like to try it? Regardless of whether the red horse understood or not, he sat on the ground, held a jar of wine and pulled the stopper, and suddenly the aroma of wine overflowed. The smell of wine is nothing unusual for people, but for a beast, it is a bit of a novelty, smelling this new smell, the red horse is looking ahead, constantly snorting, but still standing still, as if very worried about the human in front of him will come up with some conspiracy.
Red horses have human nature, but after all, they are still animals, and if they are animals, they have the general nature of animals, that is, they have this natural worry and vigilance about unknown things. Zhao Yougong hugged the wine jar and drank two sips, then wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Good wine, good wine." ”
Zhao Yougong didn't mean any compliments, it was indeed a good wine, and the wine that Liu Niang saved was all ordinary wine, like this jar of fragrant aging, it was estimated that it was the private collection of the big officials. Hey, this time bribing a horse with wine, it's okay to succeed, but if it can't be done, the big officials will probably go crazy. It is estimated that he saw that Zhao Xiaojunwang's expression was refreshed, the red horse stared at a pair of eyes, snorted violently, and stared at the human being not far away for a long time, the red horse kept shaking the horse's head, and the snort became louder. The red horse shook his head vigorously, Zhao Yougong didn't understand it at first, but after a while, he understood what the red horse meant, this was to let Zhao stand far away.
It's really a horse with human nature, but isn't it too arrogant? But when he thought of a beast, he was angry, and he could only endure it, and retreated a few feet, and the red horse couldn't wait to sneak over, while looking at the human beings in the distance vigilantly, the big red tongue stretched into the wine jar, at first it was just the tongue nodded, and then he stretched out his tongue and licked it, and from time to time made a pleasant cooing sound. In the blink of an eye, a jar of wine was at the bottom, and the red horse kicked the jar angrily, and his eyes were aimed at another jar of unopened wine.
It is estimated that this horse still wants to continue drinking, Zhao Yougong is going to offer courtesy, helping the red horse to pull out the stopper of the wine jar, who would have thought that the red horse held the stopper with his mouth, and the horse's hooves held the wine jar, and as soon as he used force, he threw the stopper to the side. Mo said that it was Zhao Xiaojun Wang, but Ana and the others were dumbfounded, such a smart horse, just a glance, he learned how to pull out the wine stopper.
Surprised, too surprised, maybe too surprised, one was defenseless, and the stopper fell on the top of his head, Zhao Xiaojun Wang secretly said that he was unlucky, and he could only watch the red horse enjoy the wine. Another jar of wine into the stomach, the red horse is obviously very cool, I thought that the bribery had been successful, and was about to take two steps forward to make a friendship with the red horse, who would have thought that the red horse went to the ground, with a mouth, a trembling nose, and a stretch of limbs, as if dead. Well, of course, the red horse will not die, look at its belly undulating evenly, nasal humming, very cool. Zhao Yougong came to the red horse lightly, looked down, and almost fainted. Troublesome for a long time. The beast fell asleep. Damn, it's not just people who sleep when they're drunk, but horses too.
Blind two jars of good wine, if you wait for the wine to go, how can this beast not admit it? Secretly took a sip, crooked his mouth and scolded, "What the hell, go to bed when you're full of food and drink." ”
Sullenly walked to the gate. Ana stretched out her head and asked curiously, "Your Highness, what's the matter, why didn't that beast kick you?" ”
"It's kicking, it's drinking too much, it's sleeping soundly!" Muttered, and while walking out, he commanded, "Dezhao, people are optimistic about this beast." When it wakes up, get it to the inn at once. If this beast does not admit it, the king will slaughter it and give everyone a tooth sacrifice. ”
Yang Zhi nodded yes, but he didn't think so, His Royal Highness obviously likes this beast very much, how can he really kill it?
When I returned to the Longmen Inn again, I saw Dongfang Jin chattering with Fan Liuniang anxiously, seeing that his face was very depressed, but in the face of Fan Liuniang, he didn't dare to lose his temper. Why is the big official in the East like this, Zhao Yougong was clear in his heart, and hurriedly pulled the two girls into the house. Although Dongfang Jin was nagging with Fan Liuniang, he also saw Zhao Yougong coming back, he took a breath and hummed, "Liuniang, please, can you return the wine to me?" Your Highness has finally come here, isn't it too good to drink some good wine? ”
Fan Liuniang flicked her sleeves and glared angrily, "Dongfang Jin, how many times has the old lady told you, I am not interested in your broken wine at all, and it is not a good thing, why is the old lady hiding it?" ”
"Liuniang, you tell the truth, you really didn't hide it?" Dongfang Jin shrunk her neck and asked a little tremblingly, Fan Liuniang turned around and walked towards her room, "Believe it or not, I'm too lazy to say it." ”
Fan Liuniang doesn't seem to be cheating, Dongfang Jin is a little confused, in this Longmen Ancient Town, except for Liuniang who dares to touch his things, is there anyone else? Thinking about it like this, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but look at Zhao Yougong's house, could it be that His Royal Highness stole the wine?
Pinching the goose feather fan, Dongfang Jin walked downstairs quickly, didn't knock on the door, but walked straight in, and when he entered the door, he saw that the three people in the room were smiling happily, frowning, Dongfang Jin leaned on the door panel, and asked a little pitifully, "Your Highness, did you get the two jars of wine?" ”
"What did Mr. say, this king didn't take your wine" Zhao Xiaojunwang's expression was really real, Rao is a human spirit like Dongfang Jin, and he can't see the slightest flaw, Dongfang officials are wondering, who would have thought that Zhao Yougong's face changed, as if he remembered something, patted his forehead and asked, "You two girls, where did you get those two jars of wine from?" ”
Ana replied very seriously, "In the pit at the back, you are in a hurry to ask for wine, and the sixth sister is not here at that time, so we will dig out the two jars of wine." ”
Dongfang's hands trembled, the goose feather fan almost fell to the ground, and he didn't care about the door, and walked over angrily, "How do you know that there is wine buried there?" As for the wine, return it to a certain family soon. ”
"Mr. Dongfang, why are you so stingy? Isn't it just two jars of wine? It's still not repaid, and the two jars of wine have been fed to the horses. ”
Listening to Ana's light words, Dongfang Jin only felt that his eyes were dark, his body shook, and he sat on the stool, "You, you are a high-grade stock solution that a certain family has worked so hard to get from elsewhere, and you actually took it to feed the horses." ”
Dongfang Jin was very angry, if it weren't for the fact that she was a little woman, she really wanted to slash her with a knife. Of course, the most important thing is that this barbarian girl knows kung fu.
Seeing that Dongfang Jin was distressed, like a mourning woman, Zhao Yougong also felt a little sorry for the big official, so he comforted him, "Sir, don't be angry, in the future, this king will find a way to help you get some good wine?" Guaranteed to taste better than your original solution? ”
"Really?" Dongfang Jin obviously doesn't believe it, is there any wine in the world that is more energetic and fragrant than the original solution?
Looking at Dongfang Jin's eyes, Zhao Yougong secretly muttered in his heart that he didn't know, what about the reducing liquid, I have just drunk it, and the wine can be regarded as the original liquid, at most it is a liquor with high purity. Waiting for the improvement of distillation and purification in later generations to make high-grade liquor when I have time in the future, I still have to starve Dongfang Jin to death? However, this kind of thing has to be put in the future, and the grain in the hands of the past two years has been saved for military rations, so how can there be a surplus of wine? What's more, the grain production of the Great Song Dynasty has decreased in recent years, and it can't withstand the squandering of winemaking, but it can brew a small amount and strive to take the high-end route.
"What kind of eyes do you have, sir? When did this king lie to you? ”
King Zhao Xiaojun glared at him with some righteousness, and the big officials in the East twitched their cheeks, and they were a little depressed in their hearts, is there still less time for His Highness to deceive people? But thinking about it, the big officials in the East really don't have the courage to say it, if they really say it, His Royal Highness Zhao doesn't know how to fix him. Trying to squeeze out a smile, Dongfang Jin gathered his mood and talked about business.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have pondered it just now, this armor requires a lot of fur, and the ones we robbed last time are obviously not enough, so ah, we have to continue to do this?" As he spoke, Dongfang Jin's eyes lit up, and he was a little excited. Every time he saw Dongfang Jin's expression, Zhao Yougong had a headache, thought in his heart, rolled his eyes and asked, "Sir, what do you want to do?" ”
"What? Rob, Your Highness, you think, the fur business has been very profitable recently, if you mention it to the Cheshire Lord, the Cheshire Lord will definitely be tempted, but the county lord has collected the fur, and when she transports it back to the capital, we will be halfway hehe"
When it comes to grabbing things, there is really no one who has more ideas than the big officials in the East, the corners of Zhao Yougong's mouth twitched, I don't know how the brains of the big officials grow, why do the tricks that hurt people come out one by one? Using the money of the Cheshire Lord to buy things for the Jinling Palace, this idea has to be very bad, but Zhao Xiaojun Wang said that he liked it very much, patted Dongfang Jin's shoulder, and praised it greatly, "Sir, it's really a good idea, you can rest assured, this king will definitely persuade the county lord to buy a large number of furs." ”
"Hehe, the subordinates just think of a trick, and it depends on His Highness how to do it, but the subordinates come up with this good trick, should you appreciate it?"
Without waiting for Dongfang Jin to finish speaking, Zhao Yougong waved his hand, and smiled as a matter of course, "Reward, you must reward, Ana, I heard that there is a beauty named Lu Xian in Hancheng, and in two days, someone will help Mr. to say a matchmaker!" ”
"Okay," Ana nodded with a wink.
Dongfang Jin couldn't be happy at all, but fortunately, if Liuniang heard this, it was estimated that he would have to reason with a kitchen knife again. This highness is also stingy, and if he doesn't want to give a reward, why bother to cheat people like this?
"Hehe, Your Highness, this is not comparable haha"
Dongfang officials laughed very unnaturally, and Zhao Yougong was also secretly funny, in this world, there is still one thing descending from one thing, and people like Dongfang Jin are afraid of Fan Liuniang. (To be continued......)
