An extremely luxurious chariot exited the city gates.
This tank is very different from a normal tank. The general chariot is pulled by two or four horses, and pulls a two-wheeled wooden cart, the trunk is not large, and there are three people on the left and right of the chariot. The master is responsible for setting up the horse and controlling the forward and turning of the chariot; The main weapon on the left side of the rook is the bow and arrow, which is responsible for long-range shooting; The main weapon on the right side of the rook is Ge, which is responsible for killing the enemy with a go, or when the opponent's chariot is on the wrong car, hooking and killing the soldiers on the opponent's chariot. Such a tank is medium in size.
But the chariot outside the gates was driven by twelve horses!
Dare to use twelve horses at the same time, not to say that the status of the owner of this chariot is higher than that of the prince of a country, but because there are fewer horses, the chariot cannot be pulled.
It was an extremely heavy and luxurious chariot, and although there was only one person in it, it was so heavy that it took twelve horses to barely pull it.
The luxury chariot has two axles and four wheels, and the main body is a carriage rather than a trunk.
The four-wheeled chariot moved slowly, and the wheels left a deep mark on the dirt road.
Around the chariot was a team of twelve riders. The cycling team is responsible for logistics, escorts, and maintenance of chariots, and each team is equipped with a tall horse. Immediately the knight is majestic and well-equipped. Their faces were solemn and highly alert, and occasionally when they looked at the luxury chariots, their eyes could not hide the look of fanatical adoration.
In the carriage surrounded by chariots, there was a figure. The car curtain blocked, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could only see that this person was very burly.
The captain of the riding team came to the side of the car and reported to the people in the car in a low voice: "General Bingzhao, according to the current speed, it will take seven or eight days to reach Yuejia Village. ā
"Too slow." The general said, his voice low.
When the captain heard this, he was terrified. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "General Bing, the chariot is heavy, and it is a little difficult for the twelve horses to pull up. I think it would be better to add four more horses, and sixteen horses to pull the cart at the same time, so that we can reach Yuejia Village in five days. ā
Before the general could answer, the captain of the ride had already begun to give orders.
It turns out that the original configuration of these two luxury chariots was sixteen horses pulling the cart together, and the current number of twelve is still not the full configuration.
The general in the car suddenly said, "No need. And ye shall unload all the horses, and each man shall ride one horse and lead one horse, and shall follow the chariot. ā
When the captain of the riding team heard this, he was shocked: "General, you actually want to drive yourself?" ā
The general ordered: "Don't hurry up yet?" ā
The cavalry captain had to obey. He ordered the twelve cart-pulling horses of the cavalry around him to untie down. But he still asked: "Why is the general like this, if you want to reward Zhao Yuan, what's the harm in delaying it for a day or two?" ā
"Mouthy!" The general reprimanded.
The cavalry suddenly did not dare to speak, and after a while, after the twelve horses were untied, the general explained to him: "The reason why it is so urgent is because this reward was not ordered by the king of Zhao, but by the great sacrificer!" ā
"The great priest has strict requirements for the time and place of the reward, so this trip must reach Yuejia Village as soon as possible, and there must be no delay!"
The cavalry captain suddenly understood.
If it is an order given by the High Priest, then no matter how strange and unbelievable it may be, it is enough to follow it. For the order of the High Priest is never wrong.
"Is it all ready?"
"General Bing." The captain of the cavalry replied, "Each of the twelve members of my cavalry has a horse and is ready to march at any time. ā
Before the cavalry captain could finish speaking, he saw that the extremely heavy carriage began to slowly move on its own!
There was no horse in front of the carriage, but it was moving faster and faster. Soon, the speed exceeded the speed of the twelve horses pulling the cart together.
The speed of the luxury carriage is still increasing, and everyone in the cycling team follows behind, each of them is two horses, gradually trotting to running fast to running to running wildly, but they can still only follow the side and rear of the carriage, unable to surpass!
Although it was not the first time he had seen it, the cavalry captain still sighed in his heart: Lord Ma Fujun's strength is really unfathomable.
The speed of the luxury carriage was very fast, and the wheels left deep marks on the muddy loess road, and with the cavalry squad, they gradually disappeared at the end of the dirt road.

ā¦ā¦
Inside the city gate of Handan.
Ai Qian took his follower Xiao Jiu and walked through the streets and alleys. At first glance, Ai Qian's body was covered with a futon, but in fact it was all gold, silver and jewelry taken out of the tomb. He can't take this lot with him alone, even his follower Xiaojiu has some on him.
Xiao Jiu: "What are you going to do with so much money?" ā
"Save people."
"Saving people? Sir, who are you trying to save? Do you have a good relationship with your husband? ā
"I have a good relationship with him, but he saved my life."
Xiao Jiu's eyes widened, completely incomprehensible. As the old saying goes: the grace of saving a life should be reciprocated by a spring, why does Mr. add a supplementary explanation of "general relationship"?
Ai Qian took Xiao Jiu to carefully avoid the market, left the crowd, and walked to a slightly secluded place, and then said: "I first exchanged important news for the protection of that person's peers, and then exchanged my experience for a large amount of money. Therefore, although that man saved my life, I have no friendship with him, and we do not owe anything to each other, but can only say that the relationship is average. ā
Xiao Jiu has been a follower for a short time, and she only knows that her nominal husband is very rich, but she didn't know that this gentleman is rich to this extent until today. Now, she knows that all of her husband's money was obtained by another person, a person who has a very ordinary relationship with her husband and saved his life.
"It wasn't given to me by him, it's a reasonable deal." Ai Qian emphasized again, "We don't owe anything to each other. ā
"Since the two are not indebted, why did Mr. spend so much money to save him?" Xiao Jiu asked again.
Ai Qian was silent for a long time, and then said that two words that Xiao Jiu didn't understand came out of his mouth:
"Investment."
"I don't really like him, but he's a nice guy. It is possible to exchange this money now for the possibility of saving him in the future for greater benefits. ā
Xiao Jiu didn't understand it very well, but this didn't prevent her from feeling Ai Qian. Ai Qian asked her to call him sir, he was very good-looking, and he had a temperament that made Xiao Jiu feel that he was doing the right thing. She had heard that only the saints of ancient times could make people feel this way.
Ai Qian touched her head, and then said confidently: "Maybe I'm not good at fighting on the battlefield and dancing and writing, but if we talk about doing business, as long as we see it right, we will never miss." ā
"How can the gentleman save people with this money?"
"To save people, naturally you have to find someone first." Ai Qian said, an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
The master and his attendants walked through the streets and alleys, gradually approaching a beautiful building.
This building is tall and magnificent, and you can see a quaint word for "sacrifice" on it from a long distance.
