"Second master, get off the horse and rest" Seeing the prince, everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted warmly.
"Don't delay everyone," Zhao Ta said with a smile as he stepped aside from the big car on the road.
"Second master, are we still going forward?" Zhao Xin, who was riding with the prince, asked.
"Let's go, go to the racecourse," Zhao said with a light knock on the horse's belly with his heel.
"Second master, we've been walking for more than half a day, let's rest" Zhao Xin grabbed the reins of Zhao Tamar's horse and said melancholy.
"Hehe, let's go again, I'm afraid there will be no more chances in the future" Zhao Ta pulled the reins and said with a smile, but his face was reluctant.
"Alas" Zhao Xin sighed, retreated half of the horse's body, and let the prince walk to the front, he looked back at a few guards hanging more than a dozen steps behind them and glanced at Erwa, who immediately stepped forward to overtake them and guard in front.
"Let's race horses and see who gets to the racecourse first," out of Zhuangzi, Zhao said with a smile to the guards who were gathered around him.
"Okay..."The guards applauded, but found that the prince took this opportunity to hit the horse and jumped out first, "Second master, you are laipi" Zhao Xin shouted.
"Ha Luha, this is called a soldier who is not tired of cheating" Zhao Ta looked back at Da Lu and said with a smile, Zhao Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and commanded the other guards to gallop wildly and chase after the prince.
"He hasn't smiled for a few days, so it's up to the prince today" Now there are often strangers around the palace, according to the rules, the prince goes out beyond the scope of Zhuangzi, and must mobilize a team of guards to accompany him, but now there are only five of them around him, and it is too late to go back and mobilize the guards, Zhao Xin thought silently. Since the holy decree to let the prince return to Beijing ten days ago arrived, he has been straining his face and not smiling.
"Drive, drive..."Zhao Ta kept kicking and beating the horse's belly, the horse galloped on the grass like the wind, the distance of more than 20 miles passed in a blink of an eye, he hit the horse and rushed to a mound to strangle the horse, the horse was drenched with sweat, Zhao Ta jumped off the horse, loosened the reins, and let it eat freely, he sat on the ground, looking at the ground under his feet, several guards scattered, and laid a loose cordon around him.

The original large barren grassland here has been transformed into alfalfa field, and now it has been harvested, only inches of grass stalks remain, a few horses are leisurely frolicking under the leadership of the head horse, grazing, and the foals are running around the mare happily, but in just two years, there are more than 1,000 adult horses and more than 500 young horses, and 800 hectares of land has become small, but now it can only be left to others to solve.
The sun slowly moved westward, getting closer and closer to the horizon, dyeing the earth a piece of gold, Zhao Xin turned his face to look at the prince, these days he has been constantly convening the stewards of the house during the day, the shopkeeper has a meeting, arranging the aftermath of the house, sitting at the desk at night is half a night, and occasionally sitting on the side in a daze like today.
"Second master, it's getting dark, let's go home," Zhao Xin walked over and said.
"Stay a little longer, you can also sit down and talk to me," Zhao said with a smile.
"Hmm" Zhao Xin agreed obediently, took out a handkerchief and spread it on the grass and sat down next to him.
"Zhao Xin, are you willing to leave here?" Zhao Ta looked at the sunset and asked.
"Reluctantly, I want to live here for the rest of my life," Zhao Xin shook his head and said.
"Since you like it here, then you should stay in Xiangyi, and don't go back to Beijing with me," Zhao said.
"For what?" Zhao Xin said in surprise, "Does the second master hate me and want to leave me here alone?"
"How can it be you alone, Zhao Ren and Zhao Yi will also stay, this is our base, I don't feel at ease if it is handed over to others"
"No, the second master just hates me and wants to drive me away from you," Zhao Xin said angrily.
"You love to be cranky, I hate that you're going to keep you around for so long? You are careful and steady, I can rest assured that you stay here," Zhao Ta scratched his nose and said.
"No, I'm going to go to Beijing with you, I'm tired of staying in this place for so many years, I'll go back to Beijing to have a look" Zhao Xin opened his hand and shouted, startling several guards around him, and looked over here.
"Why are you like a girl, talking doesn't count, I just said that it's good here, this spitting star hasn't dried yet, you're tired of it again, you've been following for so many years, do you also want to change the master's home" Zhao Ta wiped his face and said, and waved his hand to a few guards to signal that there was nothing wrong. ,
"Nonsense, I won't, I'll follow the second master for the rest of my life" Zhao Xin said in a low voice, and the setting sun reflected his face red.
"Hehe, when you have a sweetheart, you can't wait to kick me to the edge of the sky, and you will be with me for the rest of your life," Zhao Ta said with a smile.
"Just follow you, follow you, and I won't leave," Zhao Xin stood up and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, then you can follow, but don't regret it," Zhao also stood up and patted the sticky blade of grass on his buttocks and said.
"Alas, does he really not know the way, or does he not know the way? He is better than a monkey, he must know the Tao, he just provoked me with words" Zhao Xin looked at the back of the prince and thought, "But if he really doesn't understand, then what can he do..."Zhao Xin, who was excited just now, his face turned cloudy again.
……
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole house had a three-day holiday to feast guests, and Zhao Ta and everyone resigned. Before dawn on August 19, the back door of the palace quietly opened, and five black carriages quietly drove out, and after a group of guards who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, they drove around the sleeping village and drove onto the official road.
"Second master, don't be sad, we can come back often" In a carriage, Jianxi said to Zhao Talala.
"Alas, it's been eight years" Zhao Ta sighed, pulled the curtains of the car window, and looked at the villages, docks, and markets that gradually disappeared from sight.
"Second master, don't think about it so much, you haven't slept all night, take a rest" Jianxi looked at the bloodshot prince and persuaded him.
"Well, it's time to get a good night's sleep, I'm afraid I won't have such a busy day after returning to Beijing," Zhao said with a self-deprecating wry smile.
"The second master has worked hard for so many years, and it is time to take a good rest" Jianxi said, put down the two rows of seats in the car, and opened the carriage board to take out the futon and lay it out, and immediately a big bed appeared, and then he waited for the prince to take off his boots, untie the big gun, wait for him to lie down, and lower the baffle of the window, the car immediately became quiet, he blew out the glass horse lamp hanging on the roof of the car, except for a slight bump, at this time it felt like sleeping in the house.
"The prince's mind is really delicate, this carriage is designed so comfortably, I'm afraid the emperor's old man can't compare" Seeing Xi waiting for the prince to sleep, he leaned on the cushion and said with emotion. But he didn't know what to do, this carriage Zhao Ta did put a lot of thought into it, the car was a four-wheeled carriage, and it looked very ordinary from the outside, just like adding a shed to the common Taiping car on the official road. However, he has made a lot of improvements, the carriage and the frame are connected by hinges, and the wheels and frame are made of laminated bamboo as shock absorbers, so that as long as the vehicle is not fast, the movement is still very stable. The interior of the carriage is even more different, there can be six or seven square meters in size, the compartment is double-layered, filled with silk, and a layer of steel plates, the sound insulation effect is good, and it also has the function of bulletproof. After the bottom of the car is raised, there is a hidden compartment, in which there are self-defense weapons, a charcoal stove for boiling water, side dishes for drinking, and a sleeping bed, which is comparable to the current small RV. Coupled with four healthy horses to pull, it is full of power
"The prince doesn't seem to be willing to leave Xiangyi and enter Beijing" In another car, Huang Jingchen and He Qufei were chatting while playing chess, and now the relationship between the two old men is good.
"Huang Daguan, I also feel the same way, the prince here has been in business for many years, it can be described as heaven and earth, but it is a good place, if you can stay for a few more years, it will be more complete, and it can become the land of Longxing" He Qufei put down a chess piece and said.
"Well, He Yishan, how do you say the prince will deal with the matter of the prince after he returns to Beijing?" Huang Jingchen followed Luozi and asked again.
"I don't want to be here, he doesn't seem to want to enter the East Palace, but he wants to be in the northwest, and he wants to realize the wishes of his ancestors, pacify the Western Xia, restore the clouds, and open up the territory to make immortal achievements" He Qufei replied.
"The prince often says: Men should be ambitious. He doesn't care about the position of the East Palace, because the position of the crown prince will only become his fetters and block his steps, but now corruption is rampant in the court, Cai Jing and others bewitch the saint and waste the government, the prince has always been upright, and I am worried that he will cause trouble when I return to Beijing at this time" Huang Jingchen knows the prince too well, he is jealous and hateful, once something happens, I am afraid it will be really upside down.
"The official is too worried, the prince is thoughtful, and he will never do anything that hinders the overall situation, he seems to be playing a big game of chess, but we are in charge of the leopard, and we only know one or two" He Qufei has been dating Zhao Ta for more than a year, and he still can't see through the prince's mind with his experience.
"Alas, now the matter of establishing a prince in Beijing has been in an uproar, and the prince is going back to Beijing at this time to flow into this troubled water, I am afraid that he will be involuntarily involved in it, and it will be difficult to die well" Huang Jingchen knew more about the situation, but he still couldn't put his mind at ease.
"Let it be, with the prince's current financial resources and manpower, it is not bad to be a free prince, to be able to ascend to the throne of the prince, some things are also man-made, if you can realize the prince's ambition, it is also a good thing" He Qufei said with a robbery.
"Yes, Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing" Huang Jingchen said with a backhand, since it is difficult to stay out of the matter, now that it has reached this point, it can only take one step at a time.
