Chapter 8: Out of the City

"I haven't seen the guest officer for two days in a row, I thought I was gone, but I didn't expect to meet you again this morning."

The innkeeper looked at Li Ding, who had reappeared in front of him, and opened his mouth in some surprise.

"There was an emergency that day, and I left before dawn, and I came back two days later, thinking that my simple knife was in the guest room, and it was only two days, and the shopkeeper should not give the room to others."

Li Ding smiled at the shopkeeper, if he could, he would definitely choose to turn around and leave.

However, his Pu knife is still here, not in the guest room, obviously put away by the innkeeper, so he can't go.

Not to mention that half of the martial arts he inherited from the owner of the Black Wind Village are on this Pu Dao, the price of the Pu Dao alone is much more expensive than the house price in the past two days.

Although the original body is just a small Black Wind Village owner, and the weapon is also built nearby, due to the world level, although this Pu Dao is low-level in the original world, it is definitely a first-class weapon in the world of Xiaoao Jianghu.

"Hey, don't worry, no one has touched your simple knife, after helping you take it, it has been sitting with me, this knife is really not light, it can weigh seven or eight pounds when touched."

The shopkeeper looked at Li Ding's burly body, silently speculated about the identity of the other party, weighed it, and finally took out the simple knife that was placed under the counter of the inn.

He had previously tested that this knife was made of pure iron, and this kind of sharp weapon was not something that ordinary people could use, so it was better to fight less crooked thoughts.

The shopkeeper with gray temples deeply understands that no one in this world can be messed with.

"Hehe, thank you for the treasurer's safekeeping."

Li Ding took the Pu knife, and knew that it was his original one, nodded with satisfaction, gave a piece of broken silver, carried the knife, tightened his bag and bow and arrows, and turned to leave.

Walking out of the inn, the shopkeeper was still watching behind, and he didn't retract his gaze until he stepped out of sight.

Fuzhou City is a big city, even in the morning, there is no shortage of pedestrians on the streets, and the gaze of the innkeeper just now made Li Ding faintly worried in his heart.

He joined the crowd, inquired, and walked toward the city's teeth.

In this era when everyone has a greater sense of responsibility, he disappeared inexplicably for two days, and suddenly appeared, and carried a knife and a bow, which will definitely arouse suspicion, maybe as soon as he goes out, the shopkeeper will find the government.

Therefore, he planned to go to Yahang to buy a horse and leave Fuzhou first.

When one's own strength is still weak, it is never wise to conflict with the government, of course, unless the times are troubled, it is best not to conflict with the government at any time, this is the way to survive.

With all kinds of considerations flashing in his heart, Li Ding walked all the way to Yaxing in the city.

Yaxing, a commercial organization engaged in trade intermediaries in ancient times.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what you do, you can help, and most of them can only be opened with the permission of the government.

Li Ding came to the tooth shop and explained the purpose, but it turned out that there were not many horses in the tooth shop, and they were not cheap.

"In these years, there have been wars every day, horses are rare, and good horses have been sent to the army."

The person in charge of entertaining Li Ding shook his head at Li Ding, and Li Ding, who listened, was a little regretful.

He looked at the dozen or so Nu horses of different colors in the horse pen, they were all of average quality, and the prices were all more than twenty taels, which was really expensive.

"I think if Brother Tai is traveling far away, it is better to buy a mule, it is much easier to take care of than a horse, although we don't have many good horses, but there are good horses and mules, which are enough to rush away, and the price is cheap, 10 taels of silver a horse, why don't you take Brother Tai to see?"

Seeing Li Ding's hesitant face, the guy who entertained Li Ding hurriedly made a suggestion.

"Horses and mules?"

Li Ding raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "The breeding mare is good?" ”

"Yes, although the good horses have been taken away, these horses and mules are all good horses that are bred through relationships."

The guy smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly took Li Ding to another place.

Mules are the offspring of the mating of horses and donkeys, and are divided into donkey-mules and horse-mules. There are males and females, but they are not capable of giving birth.

The offspring born by the mating of a stallion and a female donkey are called donkey mules, which are smaller and long like donkeys.

The characteristics of the donkey and mule are, of course, that they combine the advantages of more donkeys and some of the advantages of horses, and it not only has strong endurance and strength, but also has an average amount of food. It can also be used for about 30 years, and of course the temper is also good, and the temperament is docile and stubborn.

The offspring born by mare and male mule are called horse mules, which are larger and look like horses, and its characteristics are: large appetite, great strength, and strong endurance.

The mule is impatient but very intelligent and very empathetic, but unfortunately it only lasts about 20 years.

The biggest difference between a horse and a mule is that a mule is a mating of a horse and a donkey, and the mule is not fertile, but inherits the body shape of the horse and the endurance and work ability of the donkey.

Although the mule is similar to the horse and body size, it has slightly longer ears than the horse, much larger than the body size of the donkey, and the ears are slightly shorter than the donkey. Horses are picky eaters, while donkeys are not and are tireless.

It's just that because the strength is weaker than that of horses, and the charge is not as good as that of horses, it is not chosen by the army and is mostly used by the people.

It is also quite good to buy a horse and mule to drive, and it saves the trouble of taking care of it.

Li Ding knew all the differences, followed his men to the mule ring, picked a young and strong horse and mule, purchased all the riding equipment, handed over the money, and bought some dry food by the way, and rode out of the city.

I went out of the city for ten miles, and I didn't see anyone following me, so I was relieved.

"The danger of the Fuwei Dart Bureau is an excellent plug-in opportunity, as long as the Lin family is saved at the critical moment, it can be used as an opportunity to quickly lay a foundation, and have a foundation for rapid expansion."

When he participated in Lin Pingzhi's tenth birthday in the Fuwei Dart Bureau, Li Ding made this idea, and the reason why he deliberately attracted the attention of the Lin family father and son at that time was also to make an outpost for future actions.

If it can be saved, it will be able to use the resources and strength of the Fuwei Dart Bureau to rapidly expand the power of Black Wind Village, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

It's just that if you want to grasp this opportunity, your wrist needs to be hard enough.

It is necessary to know that at that time, the Fuwei Dart Bureau can be said to have gathered the attention of the entire rivers and lakes, if it is not hard enough, rashly intervene, and it is light to break the blood flow.

In terms of the current Black Wind Village, it can be described as wishful thinking if you want to reap the benefits.

But......

"The smiling proud rivers and lakes are in the same vein as the world of the Condor Heroes, so there must be some opportunities to meet."

Li Ding's heart instantly thought of two things.

The remains of the ancient tomb in Zhongnan Mountain, the Bodhisattva snake outside Xiangyang City!

The ancient tomb is engraved with the second half of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", the Bodhisattva Qu Snake can increase strength, internal force, if you can get it, the two are combined, and after six or seven years, Heifeng Village will be able to reap the benefits at the beginning of the turmoil in this river and lake.
