Chapter 124: White Dragon Horse

"......" Xiao Quzhi said secretly in his heart, I can't tell you that I read it from a book written by the Europeans themselves from later generations.

At this moment, there was a long neighing of horses in the distance, and then everyone's war horses began to neigh. Xiao Quzhi stood up and saw a snow-white horse in the northeast running towards him at great speed. Behind it, there seemed to be a group of knights in hot pursuit, and the scout rangers who had been released themselves met it.

Xiao Quzhi immediately ordered the rest of the resting scouts to mount their horses and wait for them, and he himself rode on the little red horse and stood up from the stirrups.

The horse's whole body was as white as snow, without a single stray hair, and it faintly shone a silvery-white light, which was extremely conspicuous in the darkness. The most peculiar thing is that its mane does not have a vertical row around the neck like other horses, but like a male lion, it only grows a circle at the base of the neck. The mouth is also different from most horses, wider than the average horse, and even a bit like a tiger leopard head.

The horse was unusually tall, and it seemed to be taller than the little red horse, but the bones were very thick. The limbs of the little red horse are slender and slender, but it is long, long and thick. The horseshoe is as big as a sea bowl. To use a bicycle analogy, the little red horse is like a top-of-the-line road bike, and this white horse is like a mountain bike.

The more than 100 riders behind him also saw clearly, it turned out to be Amir Jiang. Didn't he take his 3,000 Qarluq cavalry to escort more than 10,000 black-clothed prisoners of war and 10,000 Arab women and children back to the gathering place at the foot of the Golden Mountain, why did he come back so quickly?

The Battle of Khorasan in the River captured about 50,000 Arab prisoners of war and 20,000 Khorasan prisoners who firmly believed in Huda or did many evil deeds. Gao Xianzhi divided them into four, Ge Lulu divided one-quarter, Ningyuan divided one-quarter, and a quarter were taken to the Boxishan silver mine, fifty miles south of Suxiangshana, the capital of the Eastern Cao State, to mine, and the remaining half were sent to Anxi to work as coolies, and half to Chang'an to sacrifice prisoners.

Before Xiao Quai's north trip to Talas, the Anxi army had been stationed near Susushana, and it was known that there was a silver mine near the Boxi Mountain in the south, but the output had always been relatively low.

Because of the process, the big cannibals can only mine and refine those silver ores with relatively high purity. Later, when Ali came, the two chatted about the silver mine. Xiao Quzhi suddenly remembered that he had watched a documentary about the Age of Discovery in the 16th century, when Europeans found a rich silver mine in South America. But in the beginning, only very pure silver ores could be mined, and the amount of such ore was very small. Later, a chemist and pharmacist studied it for several years and invented the method of dissolving it with mercury to refine the silver ores that were not very pure. As a result, the production of silver exploded, and large quantities of silver began to be shipped to Europe.

Xiao Quzhi didn't know that this Bosishan silver mine was the later Great Kani Mansur Silver Mine, which is one of the largest silver mines in the world today. With the idea of giving it a try, he took Ali Yi to the field for a field investigation, and told Ali about the mercury dissolution method, and asked him to do experiments there.

Unexpectedly, it was successful, and according to Aliyi, this silver mine is very rich, and tens of thousands of people may not be able to mine it for one or two hundred years. Because the original "waste ore" with low purity has been mined and piled aside as waste rock. For more than two months, Aliyi led people to process and add some points of continuous refining, and actually refined 120,000 catties of silver at once, plus the previous inventory, so there were 600 camels that Felix saw, a total of 150,000 catties (16 catties and 680 grams in the Tang Dynasty).

It seemed that Amir Jiang wanted to capture the white horse, and Xiao Quying ordered hundreds of scouts and rangers to surround it from both wings with torches, and rode his horse to meet it.

The scout rangers who had first met him had come within fifty paces, but it was evident that their mounts were afraid of the strange-looking, thunderous horse, and neighed too much to get too close. But the white horse was also visibly afraid of the torches and swords and spears in the hands of these knights, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Xiao Quzhi shouted at Amir Jiang, "What's going on? What kind of horse is this? ”

Amir Jiang said loudly: "This is the grassland horse king at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, it is difficult to find one in hundreds of years, I bumped into it on the road, and chased it for two days and one night." ”

By this time, more than 200 cavalry had surrounded him from all sides, and the white horse tried to break through from several directions, but was forced back by men wielding swords and guns and torches in their hands. Several Qarluku riders took a lot of effort with a lasso in their hands, and they barely managed to control their crotch horses and approach the white horse. The lasso in his hand was raised, waved in circles, and then threw them together.

But he didn't want the white horse to be so dexterous that he easily dodged it, and the ropes didn't even touch its hair. The white horse started to have a temperament, and suddenly got up, and let out a long neigh, like the thunder of a tiger and a leopard, which frightened the more than 300 war horses around him into a riot, and even the little red horse couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The white horse's front hooves landed heavily on the ground, and his spirit was flying, like an emperor, looking at the more than 300 war horses surrounding him, and the eyes of the horses showed a look of fear. The white horse became more and more proud, and he was ready to rush out when he saw a gap.

Xiao Quzhi looked at Bai Ma's tall and stout body, covered in snow-white glowing hair, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Seeing that even the grumpy little red horse was so afraid of it, he was even more determined to get it.

Xiao Quying jumped off the little red horse, held his breath, used all the strength of his body, and rushed towards the direction of the gap like a bolt of lightning, and the speed was not much different from that of the white horse.

When the white horse found that someone suddenly rushed out and blocked its way, he was furious, and with a roar, he rushed violently towards Xiao Quai, and the horse leaned forward to knock him down. Xiao Quzhi also stopped at this time, concentrating, staring at Bai Ma's eyes with all his attention.

The distance between the two sides approached rapidly, and seeing that they were about to collide with each other, Felix couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh God! He hurriedly turned his face away, a little unbearable to see Xiao Qu sick and killed. What made him feel strange was that the faces of the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army who had just listened to Xiao Quai's talk about history were very relaxed. Instead of the slightest worry, he seemed very excited and looking forward to it.

What's going on? Felix couldn't help but turn his head again, and saw a picture that surprised him immensely. The white horse was extremely tall, and he rushed with all his strength against Xiao Quai, and its impact force could be imagined. But Xiao Quzhi was unmoved, stretched out a palm, and pressed the horse's head!

Seeing that he was directly held down by a person with the palm of his hand, and could not move forward half a step, the white horse was even more furious, let out a huge neigh, and suddenly raised his hooves and kicked towards Xiao Quai.

Xiao Quai's right hand immediately let go of the horse's head, one in each hand, and the two front hooves of the white horse were supported between the lightning and flint. Hearing an angry roar, Xiao Quzhi exerted his hands, and the deerskin boots under his feet burst and sank into the ground by an inch or two. His arms were raised, and he actually held the white horse upright.

Rao knew that Xiao Qu's illness was infinite, and at this time, all the Anxi Army and the Qarlu knights were also stunned, all of them were dumbfounded and dumbfounded, and the whole scene seemed to be frozen at once. Felix even forgot his heartbeat when he saw it: "My God, there is such a hero among the Tang people!" ”

In all the petrified expressions, Xiao Quzhi put his hands down, bent over, lowered his head, drilled his body under the horse's belly, raised his hands up, supported the entire horse's belly, and lifted the white horse and threw it outward.

The white horse was really stunned, so it was lifted up and thrown out. As soon as the white horse landed, Xiao Quying dodged and followed, grabbed its mane, kicked it under his feet, turned over and rode up.

The white horse reacted at once, it had never been ridden before, and although it found that this man was strong, it still did not want to be ridden. It immediately became furious, and stood up at once, but Xiao Quzhi grabbed its mane, and clamped the horse's belly as if it had grown on it, and did not move; The white horse began to gallop and jump again, stumbling and shaking its body. But Xiao Quzhi has practiced Tai Chi since he was a child, and his kung fu has now been perfected, and every effort it exerts has been dissolved.

At the same time, Xiao Quzhi even left his left hand, kept patting its neck, and kept staring at Bai Ma's eyes, with an expression of appreciation and joy on his face. The white horse knew that he couldn't get rid of him, so he hissed and galloped away in the direction where Xiao Qu's illness had come, at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Amir Jiang jumped off the horse with a wry smile, the man had not been competitive before, he originally wanted to tame this horse king who was rare to see for hundreds of years. In this way, he has one more benefit than Xiao Quai, his horse is better than Xiao Quai, but in the end, he finds that it can't be compared. The horse can't be tamed unless it hurts it, but it will cast a shadow on the horse.

It seems that he has to be convinced of Xiao Quai's illness.

"Amir Jiang, this Captain Xiao of the White Horse has taken a fancy to it, you can give it to him." Li Ergou said.

"Is it okay not to let it? This white horse is already Xiao Hou's. But he'll have to get a couple of Arab BMWs to trade with me. ”

"Surely this is no problem, have the prisoners been escorted?" Gu Xiaojun said.

As if everything had been rushed together, Amirjan was about to answer when he heard a group of knights hurrying from the east, carrying torches. Several scouts led the way in front, shouting from afar: "General Xiao, there is a decree in the saint." ”

ps: There are still 200 words, let's collect it tomorrow morning. I was hungry, soaked in a bowl of noodles, and after eating, my stomach was full, and my head began to swell again, and then I began to feel sleepy again. I can't hold on anymore.
