"General, what do we do now?" Hou Jun said a little confused.

Yu Chi Baoqing also said with a puzzled face: "In this way, there is nothing suspicious, livestock are livestock, you can't know books and etiquette like people, and occasionally there is a loss of control, you can also understand, we just need to report to the emperor truthfully?" No matter how you say it, with these gains, we can also give an account to the emperor. ”

With the inaction of Dali Temple in front, Liu Yuan, who became a monk halfway, also found out the secret agents lurking around Li Chengqian, including the secret agents sent by Li Er, who were also regarded as having friends, and Li Er was not easy to say anything, in this regard, Yu Chi Baoqing was very confident.

"General, do we really hand over those files to the emperor?" Hou Jun said with some hesitation.

Sending someone to lurk beside the prince is a serious crime, a crime of conspiracy can make them a catastrophe, and in this way, they will have to fight with them, which is absolutely a thankless task, the benefits are not earned, and it is really worth the loss to set up so many enemies at once.

In politics, one more friend is always better than one more enemy.

Although Liu Yuan also had a headache, he still took these things down, waved his hand and said: "Okay, these files will be handed over to the general for processing, and no one will be allowed to mention them again in the future, and they are not allowed to discuss them again, I said, is it anyone, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, general" The people present saw that Liu Yuan said solemnly, and none of them dared to slack off, and immediately replied with a straight face, they understood what Liu Yuan meant by emphasizing "anyone", even if he included his family, he couldn't tell it, and Lieutenant Chi Baoqing was very grateful in his heart, Liu Yuan was like this. is going to take the two out of the matter, and he has everything to carry alone.

Guan Yong asked cautiously: "General, that." What do we do now? ”

"Let's go to the stable and see the purple lightning, it's the protagonist of this matter." Liu Yuan said categorically.

The bell also needs to be tied to the bell, and everything is related to the purple electric horse, and it should be started with it. The most complex problems often start with the simplest aspects, and the horse is the key to the whole thing. Liu Yuan turned around, but still decided to use the horse as a breakthrough.

Everyone responded in unison, and immediately got up and headed for the stables.

When leaving, Hou Jun deliberately left behind. Liu Yuanzhi said that he had something to tell him. also deliberately slowed down, so that the two of them distanced themselves from the people in front of them.

"Zhilu Dao, you have something to say, if you have something, say it." Liu Yuan glanced at the waiting army on the side and said with a smile.

The army is talented, flexible, and not confined to mud and stereotypes. Especially in terms of flexibility, it is still above yourself. Liu Yuan has always been very optimistic about him, and regards him as the cornerstone and future of the Yangwei Army, so he has always been very tolerant of him, and this time he handed over the most important interrogation work to him, also out of trust in him.

"General, what would you do if you were in the position of a subordinate?"

Liu Yuan understands his situation, Hou Junji is a hardcore supporter of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the prince has also fought for him many times in the court, like this expedition to Tibet, so many famous generals, Hou Junji sat in the position of the commander, which is inseparable from the support of the prince Li Chengqian, and Liu Yuan also knew that Li Chengqian's rebellion behind him, Hou Junji was not only involved in it, but also its main force, Hou Jun is also a member of the Hou clan, as the so-called one glory and one loss, now find out such an important situation, if you tell it, it is unreasonable to say, But just now, Liu Yuan strictly ordered that he was not allowed to leak secrets, and he was caught in the middle, so he was embarrassed.

On the one hand, there is a family that must not be abandoned, and on the other hand, there is the game that he respects the most, and the waiting army doesn't know what to do.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry about it, General Hou has put a lot of thought into your growth, and the Hou clan has not contributed less, if you don't say it, I'm afraid that it will affect your relationship, and you will not be treated well in the family. ”

Hou Junji and Cheng Lao Demon King are still in Tubo to clear the remnants of Tubo's potential, there is vitality, this letter is gone, at least a month or so, a month, everything is dealt with, waiting for Junji to react, the daylily is cold, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Even if it's me, I won't do things as usual.

"Yes, General Xie Lu, General Xie" Hou Jun was so happy that he immediately closed his mouth when he heard this, and expressed his gratitude to Liu Yuan repeatedly.

This helped him solve a big problem.

"Let's go." Liu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and continued to walk forward.

"Yes, General." Hou Jun answered, and followed behind.

The group walked to the stable, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he saw a purple-haired healthy horse eating the ingredients, and when he saw a few people coming, he just looked up, lowered his head and continued to eat the ingredients.

This horse has a strong physique, good quality, unusually developed chest muscles, strong and powerful limbs, bright coat, no miscellaneous hair, smooth as silk to the touch, the horse's eyes are like jewels, blazing, at first glance it is known to be the best horse, and it is also very thoughtful on weekdays.

"This is Zidian?" Liu Yuan asked casually while patting the horse's back.

"Yes, General, this is exactly the horse that the prince rode that day, and Zidian is the name given by His Royal Highness the Prince." Guan Yong said respectfully on the side.

A good horse, looking at the quality, is almost comparable to his own horse chasing the wind and sweating and blood, but if it really runs, it must not be as good as his own chasing the wind, Liu Yuan feels a little pity in his heart: the environment is different, the responsibilities are different, and the achievements are different, if it can go to the battlefield, it has a good chance to become a big weapon in the hands of soldiers, and has the opportunity to become a generation of famous horses, but it is a pity that it is assigned to the East Palace and becomes a foiling existence.

Seeing that the horse was eating so deliciously, Liu Yuan couldn't help but say curiously: "What does this horse of the East Palace feed on weekdays?" ”

Guan Yong looked through the records and quickly said: "In my spare time, I will have a circle of grass, a bucket of millet, and six spoonfuls of salt every day, and I will be fed with fine food plus beans and eggs every three days, and if there is anything to ride, add as appropriate."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he was a little speechless, and the ration standard of the official slaves and maids in the Tang Dynasty was: "The daily ration of its grain is two liters, the middle mouth is one liter and five he, and the small mouth is six." The elders of the households, Ding Kou day to two liters of five he, the man to give two liters, is the so-called "one horse Fu Fang, the food of the middle family of six, people are not as good as horses, this and later generations are also somewhat the same, some people have pets, beef and milk every day plus pet rations, a month alone to eat the cost of thousands of yuan, and many people can not even solve the problem of food and clothing.

"General, what now? Interrogating this horse? Hou Jun said a little confused.

Guan Yong smiled, pointed at Hou Jun and said, "Are you stupid, can horses talk?" Then talk to the horse, and ask it why it will make the prince fall off the horse? ”

"Okay, don't make any noise, let's hear what the general has to say, shall we?" Before the two quarreled, Yu Chi Baoqing diverted the topic.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Yuan didn't beat around the bush, nodded and said: "Okay, let's get down to business, Ben will think about it carefully, no matter what kind of conspiracy, it is inseparable from one subject, that is, the horse, the horse itself is a tame animal, to let them get out of control, there are only one or two possibilities, one is that there are things they are very afraid of, such as large beasts, they will be frightened when they see it." ”

Guan Yong, who was in charge of the investigation, said: "One of the horses trained by Taifu Temple is to train their courage, let them smell tiger urine, pull the beast in front of them, and train their courage. ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Then the rest is conditioned reflex." ”

Tang Dashan said in surprise: "General, what is conditioned reflex? ”

"I'll tell you a little story first" Liu Yuan saw that everyone was listening, and then continued: "In ancient times, there was a gentleman, rampant in the township, fish and flesh people, in order to highlight his status, ordered everyone to salute when they saw him, there was a scholar surnamed Zhang who was angry, but he was afraid of the power of this gentleman, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and had to salute him against his will, and then he finally thought of an idea, that is, when there was no one, he first saluted the horse, and then picked up the whip and whipped it, So that as soon as the horse saw him saluting, he was afraid to run around, for fear of being beaten again, so that this scholar Zhang saluted, the horse was out of control, and after the gentleman fell twice, he thought that the scholar had a great future in the future, and he could not afford his courtesy, so he not only exempted him from saluting, but also gave him a lot of money to help him study. ”

Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Liu Yuan had no choice but to further explain: "For example, babies will calm down as soon as they hear familiar sounds or smells, and people who feed chickens and livestock, as soon as those animals hear his cry or the sound of knocking on the wooden basin, they will quickly gather over, they can't understand human speech, but they have a habit, that is, as soon as they hear these sounds, they know that there is something to eat, so they subconsciously go to the eating place for the first time, these are conditioned reflexes." ”

Hou Jun's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Liu Yuan meant, and said a little excitedly: "General, you mean that someone deliberately scares this horse, so that after he makes some kind of move or hint, this horse will be frightened?" ”

"Slap" Liu Yuan snapped his fingers and said, "Smart." ”

"But my subordinates have checked it, and this horse is in good condition, and there are no wounds."

Liu Yuan said lightly: "There are some things, if you have to be clever, it is difficult to find out, you five, give this general a careful inspection, you can't miss anywhere, find out what's wrong with this horse." ”

"Yes, General," the five replied in unison.

So, Liu Yuan is landlord Lao Cai stood aside, watching a few people surround this purple lightning, carefully checking back and forth, for fear of missing anything suspicious. (To be continued......)
