Chapter 124: Someone Takes a Fancy to Your Horse
Xu Feilong strode into the store, and through the change of light, he began to look at the scene in the store, which was quite tidy, but it didn't seem to have much business!
Xu Feilong's gaze immediately fell on the table in the corner of the right wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the only table in the store that has people at the moment.
At this table, there were three stout young men, all with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a fierce and rugged look on their faces, and all three of them were wearing lambskin coats, and what made Xu Feilong pay attention was the scabbard exposed under the horns of their jackets.
This will make their table full of wine and food, but these people don't dare to compliment their food, almost comparable to hungry wolves.
"It could be a local snake." Xu Feilong didn't pay attention when he thought about it. Start looking for a place to sit.
At the moment when Xu Feilong sat down, there was a loud "bang", and a big man slapped his palm on the table and shouted: "Xiao Er, bring the two hot pots of wine, why is the fuck so slow?" Can you hurry up? ”
The guy chattered continuously, ran in from the outside in a panic, went to the side of the stove and took two pots of hot wine from the pot of warm water on the stove and sent them, and said with a smiling face: "Come on, come on!" Cui Ye, what else do you want? ”
The fourth master of the Han snatched the wine jug, poured the wine and said, "When you want it, I'll tell you again." Hurry up next time, you know? ”
Soon Xu Feilong's food was delivered, and while Xu Feilong was eating, he casually asked the shopkeeper who delivered the food to the table: "Xiao Er, how far is it from here to Yilu Town?" ”
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "It's not far, there are still forty miles." It's just that the road is not very easy to walk recently, it has rained heavily, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, the guest officer must not be in a hurry, and it is not good to be careful that the mount misses. ”
"Xiao Er, I see it's all time for dinner, why don't you have any business, doesn't Yilu have a big ranch? It should be quite prosperous here. Did something happen recently? ”
"Hey, guest officer, you must be here for the first time, this ranch has basically sold all the sheep and horses to be sold by this time, this will buy and sell fewer sheep and horses, and you have to wait for the spring to have more people. However, the ancient road here is deserted, and it is not as good as a year. ”
The goat meat here is really good, Xu Feilong didn't eat it quickly, and at this time, the three of them had already finished eating, and began to check out and leave.
Out of the door, the three of them looked at the manger, beckoned Xiao Er to lead the horse, and rode away.
Seeing the three of them walking away, Xiao Er hurriedly came to Xu Feilong's table and reminded Xu Feilong in a low voice: "Guest officer, no matter where you come from, I think you should quickly turn around and go back!" You can't go ahead. ”
"Oh! How so? Xu Feilong asked as he looked at Xiao Er.
"That Cui Ye is the head of Huilongshan just now, he is afraid that he has taken a fancy to your horse, your horse, it is handsome at first glance, especially it is still good, if it is sold to the ranch, I am afraid it is worth more than 100 gold. Small, clumsy, maybe even higher. ”
As it is true that the people around the ranch, even an ordinary junior can tell the good from the bad.
"I definitely didn't lie to you, guest officer, you better hurry up!"
What will Xu Feilong be afraid of? He didn't mean to move at all, but continued to ask, "What is Longshan's statement this time?" Isn't it amazing? How dare they rob the Tao? ”
At this moment, the boss inside seemed to hear the two of them talking, and said loudly inside: "Pingzhong, what are you talking to the guests again!" Why don't you come over and help. ”
At this time, there is only one customer in the whole store, what help do you need? This boss obviously doesn't want Xiao Er to get into more trouble. Even to him.
knew that even if he asked Xiao Er again, it would be impossible for him to say. Xu Feilong settled the account, and when he was leading the horse, he gave Xiao Er a reward of silver.
However, just when he saw that Xu Feilong was still going to the direction of Yilu Town, Xiao Er hurriedly came over again and persuaded him for the last time: "Guest officer, don't go, this time Longshan is the biggest group of horse thieves here, if you are caught and sold as a herdsman by the people who return to Longshan, it will really be better than death." ”
Seeing that this little second brother was sincere, Xu Feilong smiled and patted the treasure knife on his waist and said, "Little second brother, don't worry, my knife is not vegetarian." There will be a period later! ”
Seeing that he really couldn't persuade him, Xiao Er didn't say anything more. On the contrary, seeing Xu Feilong riding away, the boss came over and said to Xiao Er: "You are a person! How can you be brainless! How could this man be the same as the previous ones? He looks like a martial arts man who walks the rivers and lakes. What are you going to do? If you do this again, I won't be able to keep you!" Remember! Don't talk too much in the future! ”
Xu Feilong rode his horse for almost an hour, and a three-way intersection suddenly appeared in front of him. Xu Feilong slowed down his horse, ready to look for a guidestone or something.
At this moment, an old farmer carrying a burden walked on the road.
Xu Feilong hurriedly hurried over and asked, "Ask this old man, is there a shallow water ranch here?" How to get there? ”
"Yes, yes, that's Uncle Xin's ranch, go this way, pass Yilu Town, five or six miles north of the town. Hi! Uncle Xin's ranch is huge! The mountains and fields in the shallow water plain northwest of the town are all good places for grazing. The northwest corner of the pasture is a circle of horses, and the southeast is a sheep graze. Among the three major ranches in Yilu, the shallow water ranch is the largest. ”
"Oh! Are there two other ranches in this Yilu Town? ”
"Yes, one is the Pangu Ranch thirty miles west of the town, and the other is the Xiangyan Ranch in the south of the town. Pangu Ranch is Qin Baye's. Xiangyan is Yang Wuye's industry. ”
At this moment, three horses came to Xu Feilong's side from the forest next to him, it was the three men who were at the table next to him before, these three people obviously noticed Xu Feilong's movements in the shop, and deliberately ambushed here, preparing to intercept him.
The three of them had smirks on their faces, obviously with bad intentions. The old peasant, who obviously knew where they came from, hurried away from the side of the road, and even his burden was still on the ground.
The Cui Ye, who had dealt with the shopkeeper before, urged him to step forward and approach Xu Feilong with a vicious and ill-intentioned face. When he came to a position three or four meters away from Xu Feilong, he rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and said to Xu Feilong angrily: "Boy, are you asking for directions, or are you asking for news?" ”
Xu Feilong sat on the saddle, looked at the other party casually, and said slowly: "Maybe both?" How do you have an opinion? ”
Although Xu Feilong's answer was simple and he seemed to be reluctant to talk more, his expression was full of disdain and a look of coping with challenges.
Cui Ye saw that Xu Feilong didn't enter the oil and salt, but he was worried that he was a guest of the Xin family, so he wanted to ask first, so he asked with a vicious face: "Your boy's surname?" ”
"What's your brother's last name?" Xu Feilong didn't seem to see this Cui Ye's expression, and still asked unhurriedly.
"What is Uncle asking you?"
"What about you?" Xu Feilong was-for-tat, obviously teasing the other party. He already knew that the other party's surname was Cui. It's just a fun question. (To be continued.) )
