Chapter 339 [Tian Ji Horse Race]
Bai Dong secretly sneered, this son Yin Qi is really hypocritical, he obviously put down his body and sent someone to visit Qin secretly, but he still has to find some face to go back in this kind of thing, it's really ridiculous. It's no wonder that the third brother is unhappy, if you Tian Yinqi are facing the monarchs of big countries like Wei Chu, will you still play with these careful thoughts? It can be seen that he still looks down on Lao Qin, he wants Lao Qin's help, but he is afraid that he will not be able to get by, knowing that Lao Qin is good at raising horses, but he brought three horses to race? If you win, everyone in the world will say that the Qi country on the coast of the sea is originally better at raising horses than the Qin people, and you Tian Yinqi's face is there, is there still Lao Qin's face?
Bai Dong frowned slightly, he looked down on this kind of small tricks played by politicians very much, but Tian Ji was a guest from afar, and Yingquliang didn't say anything, so he didn't like to talk about it, he just walked to the white hustalk and laughed, looking at the horse for a while, and Tian Ji for a while, with a strange look on his face.
"Does Bai Zi have any advice?"
Tian Ji knew that the prince would take the initiative to show favor to the Qin State, mostly because of this white son. This person seems to be omnipotent since he was born, stirring up the stormy sky of the Qin State, but he is also good at leading the wind of the times, and now the nobles and scholars of various countries have no face to greet people if they can't write two new styles invented by Baizi and chant two new poems.
However, when it comes to raising horses, Tian Ji has never served anyone, the old Qin people's equestrian skills are famous all over the world, and he also dared to bring three horses, just to destroy the prestige of the Qin people; With the shortness of the Qi people and the length of the Qin people, even if the prince ascends to the throne of the monarch because of the help of the Qin people in the future, he will not be suppressed by the Qin people.
Now I saw Bai Dong pretending to walk up to the white hussar and watch. Tian Ji only felt funny. This white man has a great reputation, but I haven't heard that he still understands horses, do you really think that he is an omnipresent genius? Or do you want to pretend in front of me?
"I don't dare to be a teacher, but I heard that there is a kind of horse called 'Qu Huang' among the eight horses of King Mu, this horse is far inferior to Chiji in terms of battlefield rushing, and it is not as good as Bai Yi in terms of short-distance sprints, but when it comes to long-distance travel, it is the first among the eight horses. This kind of horse has a turmeric body color, many white spots on the body, and a small head and a large belly. Looks like a dragon. Therefore, it is also called the yellow hussay; But no matter how much it eats and how thick it is, its ribs are still exposed, so some people call it 'Penetrating Dragon' If you don't understand horses, you think it's an inferior horse. But he didn't know that he could travel 500 miles a day and 300 miles at night without drinking or eating. ”
He touched the horse's head with his hand. Bai Dong smiled and said, "It's a pity." The high-grade yellow horse is more rare than the red horse, and the general probably got a mare but couldn't find a male to match, so he got a white horse out of nowhere to cross it with it, but the name of this 'white horse' is really strange. Does it make people want to laugh when they hear it? ”
"Shirako is really amazing"
Tian Ji stared at Bai Dong for a long time, and sighed again and again: "Everyone in the world knows that Qu Huang is one of the eight horses of King Mu, but there are few people who really know that it is called Huang Huma, and I don't know that the real power of this horse is still on a long journey." Bai Zi is really omniscient and omnipotent, so that Tian Ji can admire him. But is this horse called a bone-piercing dragon? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"Brother Ziqi is too humble, the name of the Bone Penetrating Dragon has spread all over the Northern Frontier and the Western Regions, you are an expert in horses, how can you not know it?" Bai Dong could only talk nonsense when he made a slip of the tongue, Tian Ji in the historical records had never been to the Northern Frontier of the Western Regions, and he was not afraid that he would run to verify it.
"I see, thank you Baizi for teaching me!"
Tian Ji laughed and saluted Yingquliang and Bai Dong respectively: "The things entrusted by the prince have been promised by the Qin Gong, and the big thing will be done." Don't love horses all your life, I have long heard that Qin has good horses, since I came to Qin this time, wouldn't it be a pity if I couldn't race? Since Bai Zi is also a master of this way, I don't know if he is willing to fight? Bai Zi rest assured, this time he brought upper, middle and lower third-class horses, and if he wins two of the three games, he will win, so even if Qin Guo can't find a BMW like Chiji, he may not lose."
Ying Quliang looked at Tian Ji and nodded secretly, this person can be so trusted by Tian Yinqi, he is really not a Lufu; Before, please look at the horse, although he proposed to compete with Qin Ma, but he did not directly challenge himself, the monarch of Qin, and now that he has seen Bai Dong, he said that he wants to challenge Bai Zi, so that he will not weaken the identity of Gongzi Yinqi, and will not offend himself, this person is very clever.
Bai Dong was not in a hurry to fight, although Tian Ji brought the upper, middle and lower three horses, but this upper horse Chiji is obviously the 'red rabbit in the horse', and the middle horse Bai Ji is not easy to get along with. Since Tian Ji came prepared, of course he couldn't rush to the battle, which was not only related to the face of the Qin State, but also related to the strong and weak position of Gongzi Yinqi and the Qin State in the future cooperation
Don't underestimate a horse race, it seems to be playful, but it is actually a secret competition; It's like Pu~Jing suddenly playing a round of golf with Obama, if you think it's just an ordinary ball, then it's really an IQ rush.
"Hehe, the last time I went to Qi, I and Gongzi hit it off at first sight, General Tian came on behalf of Gongzi, and Bai personally entertained him. Don't mention such a small thing as horse racing, come and come, come and come today, I will cook it myself, how about inviting the gentleman and General Tian to taste my craftsmanship? ”
Bai Dong smiled and diverted the conversation, he has never fought uncertain battles, although the story of Tian Ji horse racing is good, it may not be easy to do. Well, even if you can use this method to pit Tian Ji's horse Chiji, where can Qin Guo find a BMW in a hurry, he will definitely be able to win Tian Ji's white horse? Tian Ji is not a fool, his own horse breed, God knows what the color is? If you can't know yourself and your opponent, this horse is not a race
***
Tian Ji can also endure his temperament, seeing that Bai Dong is unwilling to agree to the game, he is not in a hurry to urge, and said with a smile that he has long heard that Bai Zi's family has the world's first-class deliciousness, and it must be feasted. This old boy is very frank, he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and took the initiative to ask to stay after Bai Dong's house was full of food and drink, saying that Baijiazhuang was secluded and quiet, he liked it the most, and the three horses he brought were simply raised in the Bai family, in addition to personally inspecting and feeding them once a day, they were directly handed over to the Bai family groom.
Tian Ji's generosity made Bai Dong a little surprised, he and the third brother were afraid that they really underestimated this old boy, and this old boy saw his concerns, so he generously brought the horse to the Bai family, and rushed to help him create the conditions of 'knowing oneself and knowing oneself'? If he still refuses to agree to the horse race, then everyone in the world will be ashamed to laugh at Bai Zi for being a courageless person, and instead praise General Tian Ji for being an open-minded man.
Tian Ji is so desperate to think about horse racing, it is not as simple as finding face for Tian Yinqi; This person is in the Qin State, which is famous for raising horses, and he swaggered around with a few horses, first in front of the monarch and then to Baijiazhuang, showing that the carriage and horses made him have to agree to the competition, which shows that the plan is great. Bai Dong estimated that if he agreed to come down that day, Tian Ji would immediately propose the lottery head of the competition, this lottery head must be there, and it is by no means ordinary, it should be something that Tian Yinqi values very much.
"The person sent by the king to Yiqu has come back and brought back a top-notch good horse, Wu Qi, which is also one of the eight horses of King Mu, but it may not be worse than Tian Ji's red horse; The young officer of Gongzi also came from the academy, and my master and Fan Bo also arrived, and they have been secretly observing that Chiji these days, it is indeed a good horse of the first class, but our Wu Qi may not lose to it."
Sang Wazi just came back from the Western Regions, and brought a Western Regions horse, this horse is said to be obtained by the Wusun King in the city of Zhurong from the hands of foreign races in the west. Now the Zhurong of Chengkuo, like the Qiang Dayue clan, are desperately raising sheep, and they are also looking forward to Baizi's mercy and buy more of their wool
"Okay, go and see the BMW and the black horse you brought; Call General Ueda, people are open to us, and we are not villains. ”
Bai Dong was originally a little hesitant to agree to race horses with Tian Ji, but he didn't expect Sang Wazi to come so quickly, and it took less than half a month to rush back from the Western Regions after receiving the letter, and he really found the legendary Dawan Liang Horse.
It's also time to touch Tian Ji's hole cards, what is the idea of this old boy and Tian Yinqi, it will be revealed today. (To be continued......)
