Chapter Seventy-One: The Horse
"Tudu, stop!"
Although Jiang Long was also very nervous at this time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility, "These two spiders are both aliens, which are very rare, and it would be a pity to kill them." ”
Mulberry Spider was a little flustered so he didn't notice Tudu's movements, turned his head and saw that he had pulled out his double axe, and immediately reached out to stop her, who had always been quiet and even a little cowardly, at this time a few wisps of cold light burst out in her eyes, "What are you going to do?" The black, purple and green colors were found by my grandfather who took me back to southern Xinjiang for several years to find them.
You are not allowed to kill it! ”
Seeing that the Mulberry Spider's face changed, Jiang Long also stopped it, and hesitated for a moment before putting away the double axe.
"Little master." Gunty Buck came to Jiang Long in a hurry.
Jiang Long waved his left hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said to the mulberry spider: "Do all the spiders you raise like poisons?" ”
"How did the little master know?" Mulberry Spider was stunned for a moment before replying: "On weekdays, I feed them with poison and poison juice, and only by giving them more poison can their own poison be more powerful!" ”
Hearing this, everyone around them was numb.
Especially when it was a delicate little girl who said this.
"That's it."
Jiang Long finally found the reason, he stretched out his left hand and lifted the right sleeve up again, a cold dagger was exposed along with his arm, and the big spider with a green body was crawling around on the dagger.
Fan Ren's eyes were keen, and he saw a touch of green in the cold light reflected by the dagger, "The dagger is poisonous?" ”
"Hmm." Jiang Long slowly reached out and took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, the previous dagger was cut out of a gap when he was in the cliff cave because he blocked the attack of the masked leader Zuihou, this is Jiang Long's new one.
The overall length was seven inches, and the blade was four inches long, which was extremely sharp, and Jiang Long carefully smeared it with the poison hidden under the bed when he was at home.
"Mulberry spider, the smell of these two big spiders you raised is very keen, and this guy named Yinglu is even more amazing, it should have discovered the poison on the dagger through the smell, so it climbed on my body unconsciously." Jiang Long saw that Yinglu was very greedy for the dagger smeared with poison, crawling around, and from time to time he would bow his head and gnaw on the blade, just to make sure that his guess was not bad, and opened his mouth to explain.
"The poison on this dagger, young master, must be very powerful." The mulberry spider stretched out his hand to take the dagger, and the black purple crawling on the ground immediately turned around and crawled towards the mulberry spider again, "I feed the two of them poison on weekdays, and they all feed their stomachs."
If they are not poisonous enough, they will appear cowardly and eat very little. ”
The bowl of poison that Jiang Long asked Yao's mother to boil was naturally very powerful, and she sealed her throat when she saw blood!
It is several times more violent than the poison carried by the two large spiders themselves.
However, Jiang Long did not open his mouth to explain, the dagger smeared with poison was an important means of saving his life at a critical moment, if it weren't for the fact that Yinglu unknowingly climbed into his cuffs today, he would not let others know that he had a highly poisonous dagger with him.
Black purple followed the right leg of the mulberry spider, and after a while, he climbed to the dagger.
Then he gnawed on the toxin on the dagger like a bright green.
Jiang Long asked with some concern: "The poison on the top is very violent, it won't poison the two of them, right?" ”
The mulberry spider is now his personal guard, and these two big spiders are the hole cards of the mulberry spider, if they are poisoned, the mulberry spider will naturally lose their strength.
And for Jiang Long, his personal guard is naturally as powerful as possible.
"Probably not." The mulberry spider carefully observed the performance of the two big spiders, "They are very happy to eat. ”
Chai Shirong, who was born in a wealthy family, turned green when he heard this.
"There was a little accident, please Haihan."
Seeing that the two big spiders stayed on the dagger and didn't run around anymore, Jiang Long just bowed to Chai Shirong and the others.
"Brother Jiang Long is really bold, he dares to bring such a girl ring......"
Chai Shirong looked at Sang Spider's eyes, still with a hint of shock, but before he finished speaking, Jiang Long just interrupted with a chuckle, "It's not the maid Yahuan, she's my personal guard." ”
"It's me who underestimated Jingfu." Fan Ren opened his mouth at this time, "I heard that Old Marquis Jing and Little Marquis Jing liked to make friends with talented people from all over the world, and when I saw this girl's methods today, I believe that those rumors are true!" ”
"The three of us brothers were born and raised in Northern Xinjiang, and we don't know much about the deeds of the old Marquis Jing who has been guarding in the South Barbarians for many years, but the Marquis Jing is definitely a real hero who likes to be strong and heroic!" Qi Wei had an admiring look on his face every time he mentioned Jing Xiaohou.
Qi Wu and Qi Xiong also agreed.
Hearing the heartfelt admiration in the eyes of the three Qi brothers for their father, who had died on the battlefield for free, Jiang Long pretended to be grateful to the three of them again and again.
Seeing that Jiang Long, the descendant of the great hero in his mind, was so polite to himself and others, the three Qi brothers who put righteousness first were all moved, and Qi Wei patted his chest and promised: "In the future, if Gongzi Jing is sent to the north to guard the frontier for the imperial court like Jing Xiaohou, just come to Qijiabao to find the three of us!"
Our three brothers don't have other skills, but they know a lot about the nomadic aliens in northern Xinjiang.
When the time comes, we will be your own soldiers, and we can also come up with ideas along the way. ”
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Hearing Qi Wei's words, Chai Shirong and Fan Ren both frowned slightly, now who doesn't know that the Marquis of Jingfu has been taken back by the emperor, and now that Qi Wei is saying this, isn't he sprinkling salt on Jiang Long's wounds?
However, to the surprise of the two, Jiang Long was extremely bold, and stepped forward to pat Qi Wei's shoulder, "Brother Qi doesn't have to be so polite, just call me by my name in the future, Jiang Long." ”
"How does this work?" The three Qi Wei brothers are all old and coarse, with low status, and they refuse.
But Chai Shirong interjected with a smile at this time: "Weishenme can't do it? You call him Jing Gongzi and call me Young Master Chai, it's really too foreign, and you will call us by our names in the future! ”
Seeing that the noble-born Chai Shirong and Jiang Long were both friends, the three brothers of the Qi family were inexplicably moved.
This is an era when individuals are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and there are really not many sons of families who can abandon their noble status and make friends with the reckless.
After chatting a few more words, Jiang Long and the others set off in the direction of Wushi Town.
Jiang Long wanted to invite a few people to ride in the carriage together, but Chai Shirong waved to the small forest not far away, and saw several guards leading seven tall horses over.
"Good horse!"
Seeing that these horses were very beautiful, Jiang Long couldn't help but praise them.
Who knew that Chai Shirong pouted dissatisfiedly, "Who doesn't know that back then, Old Marquis Jing liked horses, and Marquis Jing liked to boil eagles?"
If these horses are placed on the Virtuous Brother's Mansion, they can only pull the carriage at most. ”
Hearing him say this, everyone moved their eyes to the Jingfu carriage.
Jiang Long knew very little about Old Marquis Jing and Little Marquis Jing, but it seemed that he did have some impressions of this in the memory of the original body.
"What a pity!"
After carefully looking at the horses pulling the cart in Jingfu for a while, Fan Ren suddenly let out a long sigh.
The three Qi brothers also shook their heads with a wry smile.
As Chai Shirong expected, the horses pulling the cart were all more horses than the horses Chai Shirong chose for them.
Jiang Long really didn't pay attention to it before, but after comparing it, he found that the horses pulling the cart were all good horses.
Jiang Long was a little embarrassed at this time.
His own horses were better than other people's mounts, but he had praised the other horse's horse for being a good horse.
If you are smaller-minded, you will definitely think that he is mocking.
"Brother Jiang Longxian, why don't you sell me a few good horses from the house?" Chai Shirong is also a good horseman, at this time, he was a little itchy, rubbed his hands and said: "The price is easy to say!" ”
"Let's talk about that later." Jiang Long snorted haha.
Chai Shirong looked helpless.
BMW is rare to see, and it is hard to find money, and if it were him, it would not be easy to sell it.
I remember an interesting incident back then, the emperor took a fancy to a good horse of the old marquis Jing and wanted to buy it with a lot of money.
But the old marquis Jing is rolling on the ground, but he doesn't sell it.
At that time, the emperor's face was white.
For this matter, the emperor put on small shoes for the old marquis from time to time, but in the end, the emperor was not able to buy the horse back from the old marquis Jing.
The three Qi brothers were born in northern Xinjiang, so they can easily distinguish the good and bad of horses.
Looking at the horses pulling the cart for Jingfu, I felt sorry.
Only when you have really been on the battlefield and faced the nomadic army of the northern Xinjiang can you truly understand the importance of a good horse!
The Great Qi Dynasty had a scarcity of war horses, and although there were several cavalry teams in northern Xinjiang, the number was much less than that of the nomadic cavalry army.
Everybody knows that cavalry is far more powerful than infantry.
Most of the border soldiers were foot soldiers, and if there was an attack by foreign cavalry, they would choose to hide in the city walls like turtles to defend themselves against the enemy.
But not all the people at the border pass lived in the city, and once they were not protected by the soldiers, they were allowed to be plundered and slaughtered by foreign races.
It is precisely because they often have to face the burning and looting of foreign races, so many border people or huge families will gather together and build high fortresses to resist, such is the case of Qijia Fort, and the fort will also train its own militia.
Training troops and buying weapons require a lot of money.
The three Qi brothers and most of them would choose to trade with hostile alien races.
Nomadic aliens love tea and lack salt, both of which can be earned a lot of money.
In addition, there is porcelain, and silk is also hard currency.
And the three Qi brothers were arrested this time because someone reported that they were doing business with other races.
"Big brother, in my opinion, even if there are many thousand-commander mounts on the border, there are not the horses and horses pulling carts in Jingfu."
"It's a pity, I should give those horses to those generals in the frontier army who have made many achievements."
Qi Wu and Qi Xiong both sighed again and again.
Qi Wei thought the same way.
In the northern frontier, I don't know how many sergeants can't catch up with the enemy because the horses are too poor.
There are also many sergeants who are chased and slashed by the enemy because their mounts run slowly!
It's just that although Qi Wei feels that the jewel is dusty, and it is useless to let the good horse pull the cart, but the horse belongs to Jingfu, but he can't call the shots.
At this time, Fan Ren and Hong Tiezhu had already turned over and got on the horse.
Chai Shirong and Hou Jiang even rode their horses and whipped forward.
The three Qi brothers retracted their gaze regretfully, and also jumped on horseback.
Jiang Long first instructed Jiang Jun to go to Lin Ya's carriage to roughly explain the reason for the stop, and then returned to his carriage.
"Little Master, who are those?"
"Looks so fierce!"
The treasure bottle and the jade hairpin have been hiding in the carriage, but they have secretly lifted the corner of the curtain to look out.
Jiang Long had just turned around and came back, and the two daughters said one after another.
"The one in the white shirt is called Chai Shirong, and he is the ...... of the Chengguo Mansion," Jiang Long gave a general introduction to the jade hairpin and the treasure vase.
"That's just the chai boy, it's also the son of the noble family, but a few other people ......"
After hearing this, Yuchai felt that except for Chai Shirong, several other people had low status, and they were all unworthy of being Jiang Long's friends.
Jiang Long waved his hand lightly, interrupting Yuchai's words, "Didn't my grandfather and father also like to make friends with the rivers and lakes back then?"
Those people are not weak, and they may not be useful in the future.
Remember to go to the garden later, take out the wine and food generously, don't be too stingy, and, jade hairpin, you don't have to bring everything on your face. ”
"Yes!"
