Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Good Horse and the White Cloud
It was a small and independent cabin, clean and tidy, with a spacious stable on each side, and two warhorses, one green and one white, were tethered.
These two war horses have pure hair, without the slightest flaw, their body size is larger than the war horses outside, and the height is almost the same as Wang Chong, each muscle full of strength is just right, everything looks so harmonious and perfect.
Wang Chong didn't know how majestic the red rabbit horse that had been deified was, but just the two Dawan horses in front of him already made him unable to take his eyes off it, and the brocade sails behind him were also seeing their eyes shining and drooling.
Wang Chong slowly walked in front of the white horse, wanting to reach out to touch the white horse's long mane, but who knew that as soon as he raised his hand, the white horse suddenly let out a long roar, like a terrifying dragon roar, and raised his forelimbs high, directly scaring Wang Chong back a step.
The long howl of the white horse suddenly caused a series of chain reactions in the ship, the horses neighed, and the hundred war horses outside became restless.
Seeing this, the horsemen were in a hurry, and the horses were in turmoil, once this was out of control, just a few of them could not cope with it at all, so they hurriedly persuaded Wang Chong and said: "Chief, this horse is wild and untamed, short-tempered, not close to people, and can not be tamed easily, please take it back and then slowly adjust/teach, otherwise once the war horses break free from the rope in this small space, they will inevitably trample and bite each other, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Wang Chong nodded in understanding, but when he looked at the white horse, his gaze was already scorching enough to melt people.
"Hey, man, don't get excited, I'm not going to hurt you!" Wang Chong had a smile like a spring breeze on the corner of his mouth, his hands were spread in front of his chest, and his body leaned back slightly, as a way to show that he had no malicious intent.
Wang Chong believes in Ma Tong's humanity, even if the other party doesn't understand what he is saying, he should be able to receive the kindness he conveyed in the past.
Sure enough, the white horse seemed to really understand Wang Chong's words, his restless emotions gradually subsided, and his smart eyes glanced at Wang Chong suspiciously, then he ignored Wang Chong, lowered his head and gnawed the hay on the manger.
This scene made the smile on Wang Chong's face even stronger, and after thinking about it, he tiptoed forward again.
This time, Bai Ma's reaction was not as violent as before, and even if Wang Chong stretched out his hand, it only pinned its head to the side in displeasure.
"Be good, don't be afraid, let me touch it."
Wang Chong wrapped his hands around the neck of the white horse, at first the white horse was still very resistant, constantly retreating to break free from the restraints, but Wang Chong put a little force on his hand, the white horse stopped struggling, let Wang Chong caress its smooth hair like a mirror, looking at that appearance, it was very enjoyable.
"This ......" At this moment, the groom's jaw fell to the ground in shock, what is this? Do you want to refuse or welcome?
You must know that after these few days of getting along, the groom has long been deeply aware of the violent temperament of this white horse, before there was a little guy who didn't know what to do, and wanted to go up and touch it, but he was kicked and broke two ribs, and now he is still lying on the bed and can't get up, even if they feed on weekdays, they are all cautious, for fear of angering the white horse and causing unwarranted disasters.
But now, Wang Chong has never even used force, and he has made him as docile as a sheep with just a few words...... Are you kidding?
"This horse is destined for me!" The king turned his head, smiled at the crowd, and asked the horseman, "Uncle, what is the name of this horse?" ”
The groom took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and replied, "Back to the leader, listen to the scholar who sold the horse, this horse is called Baiyun, and the other is called a pheasant. ”
"Yingying white clouds float in the sky, there is no root under it, there is no connection, ethereal, flawless, called white clouds." Wang Chong muttered to himself, "Baiyun, Baiyun Horse, good, good name, very appropriate!" ”
Bai Yunma also seemed to know that Wang Chong was praising it, so he immediately arched Wang Chong's side face with his head affectionately, and that flattering appearance made Wang Chong laugh more than once.
"Uncle, do you have stirrups and saddles?"
"Yes."
After a while, Wang Chong took the stirrup saddle from the groom, equipped the Baiyun horse with his own hands, hugged its neck, and said affectionately: "Baiyun, from now on, you and I will be comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death, you ...... Would you like to fight the world with me!? ”
"Yu Yu-" In response to Wang Chong, there was a long roar that went straight to the sky.
――――――――――――
When Wang Chong returned to his ship, more than an hour had passed, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhuge Jin also returned.
"Chief, everything has been counted, and the number is exactly the same as agreed!"
"Well, they didn't take some broken copper and iron to make up the numbers, did they?"
"No, it can be seen that these equipment are brand new, and the grain is not old grain." Zhuge Jin shook his head, his eyes still flashing with excitement, "Chief, with these equipment and grain and grass, my Jinfan can finally make a difference!" ”
"Good!" Wang Chong secretly clenched his fists, "Let the Feng family's crew help transport the supplies back to Poyang Lake, and then let them sail the merchant ship back to Chaisang after we finish unloading." ”
The amount of materials in this transaction is huge, it is too troublesome to move around on this river, and it is still raining, in order to prevent the grain and grass from being wet by the rain and becoming moldy, it is the safest way to let the other party directly send the materials to Jinfan Water Village, I believe that Feng Yan, who has already received Feng Bao, will not object.
"By the way, don't forget to hand over the three merchant ships loaded with Shu brocade and goods to the Feng family, since it is a transaction, it is naturally a coming-and-going, otherwise if it spreads, people will think that our Jinfan will take advantage of the Feng family."
“……”
There is no doubt that it is cold, for the upright Zhuge Jin and Li Tao, Wang Chong occasionally shows shamelessness, and they really can't adapt to it in a short time.
"Ziyu, everything here will be handed over to you, and you will lead the fleet to meet my brother later, Boyun, you go to the warehouse to get three hundred gold, and follow me to the opposite side to visit Feng Gong."
Li Tao frowned and said, "Chief, do you really want to go to Chaisang?" ”
"What? Going to Chaisang? Zhuge Jin didn't know why at first, but when he heard that Wang Chong was going to Chaisang, he immediately grabbed Wang Chong and said hurriedly, "Leader, don't do it!" ”
"Oh? Why? Zhuge Jin's excitement made the second monk Wang Chongzhang puzzled.
"Chief, this time Feng Yan invited you to Chaisang? The leader must not fall for the scheme, the old fox city is very deep, on the surface to welcome the leader, but in fact the heart is sinister, this time the leader got a large number of materials from the Feng family, and cut off one of Feng Bao's ears, how can Feng Yan not have resentment in his heart? So the more enthusiastic he is, the more the leader has to be careful! ”
Seeing that Zhuge Jin was angry and anxious, Li Tao hurriedly spoke out to comfort: "Mr. Ziyu, don't worry, the matter of going to Chaisang was decided by the leader himself, not by Feng Yan's invitation." ”
"Huh?" Zhuge Jin's face turned red when he heard this, he was ashamed, and he dared to say it to himself for a long time, but it turned out to be not like that at all.
"Having said that, what Ziyu said is not unreasonable, so far, no one can be sure whether this Feng Yan is really helping me Jinfan, or whether he is making a false relationship with us." Wang Chong relieved the siege in time, relieving Zhuge Jin a lot of embarrassment.
"In this way, even if the leader really wants to go to Chaisang, I'm afraid he will have to hide it from Feng Yan!" Li Tao nodded thoughtfully.
Zhuge Jin was in a hurry: "This ...... What the hell is going on? Why did the leader have to go to Chaisang? ”
Wang Chong gave Li Tao a look, Li Tao understood, and immediately told Zhuge Jin about the previous situation.
"I see." Zhuge Jin finally figured out the ins and outs, thought about it and said, "This matter is not impossible, since the other party is going south to sell horses, he must have his own ships, so the leader does not have to go deep into Chaisang City to go to Chaisang, just look for their anchored ships in the outer ports." ”
"That's right." Li Tao nodded in agreement, "Even if there is danger at that time, as long as the other party does not close the water gate, we can escape from Chaisang by boat." ”
"Okay, without further ado, Boyun, you go get the money, I'll prepare the ship, and we'll go to Chaisan now." Wang Chong's style was resolute, "Ziyu, let the Feng family help transport the materials back to the water village, and leave it to you to discuss with Feng Yan, also, send some people to the merchant ship that transports horses to guard, show me the horsemen on the ship, don't let them have any contact with Feng Yan, it's best to bring them back to the water village together, if there is any change during the period, don't be soft, cut it directly!" ”
"No!"
