Chapter 20: The Horse

Baixiang Inn, under the dim candlelight, the old shopkeeper was "snapping" and calculating, and opposite him, there were two people drinking. There were still leftovers of food on the table between the two, and there was not much wine in the jar.

"Shopkeeper, another jar of wine!" Xu Wei shouted at the old shopkeeper.

"Forget it, the inn is about to close, so you two better not drink anymore." The shopkeeper was still making his calculations, and said without raising his head.

"Alas, I said, Brother Wang and I live in the inn, are you still afraid that you won't be able to settle the account? Hurry up and serve the wine. ”

"Brother Xu, forget it, we have drunk a lot, and the inn is about to close, let's not delay the shopkeeper's work, forget it today, there is a chance for our brothers to drink together." Wang Yun saw that it was indeed very late, so he persuaded Xu Weidao.

"How can this be done, as the saying goes, 'wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants', you are my confidant, how can you do it with such a little wine? Wang Yun, you don't look down on me, do you! Xu Wei didn't listen.

"When, when, when. It's dry, watch out for candles! At this time, there was a sudden sound of beating outside.

"It's closed! It's time for you two to check out, too. ”

"What's the bill, Brother Wang and I still have to drink! Serve! Xu Wei shouted.

"Okay, good, drink, but, Brother Xu, we can't delay people's closing, let's change places, okay?" Wang Yun saw that Xu Wei was drunk, so he coaxed him, and when he fell asleep, he would be fine. However, he still despised Xu Wei's amount of alcohol in his heart, most of this wine was drunk by himself, he only drank so little, and he couldn't do it.

"Uh, uh, okay, where to go, you say, say." Xu Wei tried to stand up, but his body shook and he sat down again.

"Shopkeeper, arrange a place, prepare good wine, Brother Xu and I won't get drunk tonight." Wang Yun said, glancing at the old shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is also experienced for a long time, and he understood what Wang Yun meant at a glance, and he and Wang Yun carried Xu Wei to his residence where he worked.

Xu Wei arrived at his **, and was still shouting and drinking at first, but it didn't take long for him to stop. However, after Wang Yun and the two left, after a while, Xu Wei actually opened his eyes again, and there was no confusion in his eyes!

Wang Yun settled the account and returned to his room, also lying on the **, he had drunk a lot of wine just now, and he was relatively tired after a day's journey, so he fell asleep not long after the **.

The next day, when Wang Yun got up, it was already dawn. He looked at the time, it was already more than eight o'clock, and he couldn't help but curse, he hadn't gotten up so late, although he couldn't practice guns on the road, but he still asked himself to get up early, you must know that people have lazy surnames, once you develop the habit of getting up late, it will be difficult to change it. He went downstairs, and the two men were cleaning in the hall downstairs of the inn, and the old shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter staring at them.

"Shopkeeper, Xu Wei hasn't gotten up yet?" Wang Yun glanced around, but he didn't find Xu Wei, so he asked casually, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, it was normal to be drunk like that and not get up.

"Get up. You don't know? Who knew that the old shopkeeper said that he had already gotten up, and he seemed to be surprised that Wang Yun didn't know about it.

"What's wrong? I just got up, how do I know if he got up or not? Wang Yun flashed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly asked the old shopkeeper.

"Xu Wei got up before dawn, saying that you forgot something in Xiaowangzhuang outside the city, you can't get up yourself, let him take you to get it, by the way, he also rode your horse!" The old shopkeeper told the story of the morning.

"Horse, yes, my horse,, he stole my horse!" Wang Yun hurriedly rushed out of the inn, his body like an arrow off the string.

"Huh? What are you going to do?! The old shopkeeper shouted from behind, but he didn't get any response from Wang Yun, and he muttered, "I can't catch up." ”

It didn't take long for Wang Yun to walk in from outside the door with his head down, sit casually at a table, and sigh heavily, he understood that he had been deceived again.

"It's useless for you to be anxious now, he's been away for more than three hours, and he's still riding a horse, can you catch up?" The old shopkeeper saw Wang Yun come back and said casually.

Wang Yun was furious and yelled at him: "You still said that the guys in your inn stole my things, and I haven't looked for you yet!" ”

"What's my business?" The shopkeeper saw that Wang Yun was angry, and although he didn't dare to talk back to him, he still argued in a low voice.

"Heh, it's none of your business, the guy in your store stole something, and you said it's none of your business, that's possible?" Wang Yun said angrily.

"Originally, Xu Wei stole your things, and I didn't steal them." The shopkeeper looked at Wang Yun and said.

"The people in your store stole something, and it has nothing to do with you? If your inn is stealing from customers, then it's not our right? Why, look at me as a bully, huh, look at my knife is not good?! The more Wang Yun spoke, the more angry he became, he took out a short knife from his marching bag, smashed it on the counter, and yelled at the shopkeeper.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?!"

"Well, well, this strong man, what do you say?" The shopkeeper was very helpless and asked.

"What to do? If something like this happens, shouldn't your inn compensate? ”

"Reparations? Are you sure you're not kidding? That's not a cat or a dog, it's a horse, even the worst one costs hundreds of gold! "When the shopkeeper heard this, his hair was about to stand up, and he lost a horse, which is a joke? Although the owner is easy to talk to, if he is like this, I am afraid that he will inevitably be scolded.

"You also know that it's a horse, I use it to drive, to be honest, money is not money, I don't care, you just lose my money and I don't want it, but I'm in a hurry, without a horse, I'm afraid I'll have to walk for ten days and half a month after three days! Do you pay or not? If you don't pay compensation, then I'm going to sue the official, and then I will ruin the reputation of your inn, don't blame me! With that, Wang Yun walked out.

"Wait, the strong man said that as long as the inn can compensate you for a horse, this matter will be settled, right, I didn't understand it wrong."

"yes, what, you have a horse here?" When Wang Yun heard this, he turned his head and looked at the old shopkeeper with wide eyes.

"No, no."

"No nonsense without you!"

"I don't have it, but my host has it."

"Why didn't you say it earlier, where is it, take me there."

"You're not going to let me finish, okay. The horse is in my host's house, I'll take you there, I think the boss should be more than willing to pay you the horse. ”

"Huh? Is there a problem with this horse? When Wang Yun heard this, although he was very angry now, he still heard that something seemed to be wrong.

"No problem, it's very strong, much stronger than your inferior horse."

"Oh, then you're not going to take me somewhere to kill people! You can tell I'm an alien. ”

"The strong man thinks too much, I know that you aliens can be resurrected, besides, how can I be that kind of person!"

"You'd better not, or I can't guarantee that my knife won't touch you." Wang Yun said, turned around and walked to the inn door, "Let's go, lead the way!" ”

"Oh, okay. Strongman, please here. ”

The shopkeeper led the way in front, and Wang Yun followed behind him. It didn't take long for the old shopkeeper to take Wang Yun into a large courtyard through a back door.

"Strongman, please wait here for a while, and I'll go and inform the owner."

After a while, the shopkeeper returned, and behind him, followed by two middle-aged men. One man was dressed as a scholar, wearing a crown and a robe, and was slightly ahead of the other, clearly the principal; The other was dressed as a samurai, with a strong figure and a powerful force, and a sword in his hand. Seeing Wang Yun's standing posture, the warrior stepped forward and whispered something in the scribe's ear, the scribe was obviously shocked, and then looked at Wang Yun's eyes a little different.

"Zhuangshi, this is my host, he is also the head of the township, and the other is the commander of the soldiers of the village, Gu Wei and Gu Tun. The owner, this strong man, is the owner of the horse, called, uh, called ......" The shopkeeper introduced the identities of the three respectively.

"Wang Yun, I'm Wang Yun." Wang Yun continued.

"Brother Wang, you lost the horse in the despicable shop, the shopkeeper Li has already told me just now, I apologize for this, but, speaking of which, our inn is responsible, but after all, it is not the mastermind, not even an accomplice, just a little dereliction of duty, it should not be fully compensated, we are sympathetic to your suffering, so we decided to compensate you, but please figure out this fact." The township chief didn't come up politely, and went straight to the point, it seems that he really wants to solve the problem.

"Well, well, I can accept this statement, however, only if your compensation must be a horse." Wang Yun thought about it carefully, he was really a bit of a trick, and the loss of the inn after losing himself was indeed not small, but the matter had come to this point, how could he prepare to get a horse here from the township chief.

"That's nature. But there is one thing I have to say, don't blame me again. The horses I am going to pay you for are indeed good horses, left behind by a group of horse dealers from Youzhou, and at that time they had a horse master in their caravan and even deduced that they were high-grade war horses. However, this horse was not tamed, the wild surname was still there, and even the horse dealers could not do anything, and in the end they did not sell it, because I had a good relationship with their caravan, so they gave it to me, and the horse I am going to pay you now is it, but you need to tame it yourself. I don't know what you think? ”

"But I don't know how to tame a horse, you gave me, I didn't even have a chance to tame it, it ran away on its own, wouldn't I still be empty?" Wang Yun was not happy when he heard it, no matter how good the horse was, he couldn't ride it, and he didn't just watch it.

"It's not a big problem if you can't tame a horse, even if you can tame a horse, it's for nothing, according to the horse dealer, this horse is very surnamed, and it is already regarded as having a spiritual surname, and often such a horse only obeys the strong, so as long as you can make him agree with you, you can tame it."

"Well, okay, so be it."

"It's your choice, and whether you surrender it or not is none of our business."

"Okay, that's it, can I be as good as a horse?!"
