Chapter 461: Horse Thief
In the process of eating, Han Hao was still afraid that Xie Wanqing would be thirsty, so he went to the creek and filled some water with a water bladder on his body, put it on the fire and boiled it for her to drink.
The stream in the mountains is very sweet, not like the kind of water they drink in the capital on weekdays, Xie Wanqing always feels that that kind of water has an indescribable taste.
Xie Wanqing was drinking clear mountain spring water and eating fragrant grilled fish at the moment, and she was soon satisfied. After eating and drinking, Xie Wanqing patted her bulging stomach and leaned lazily on a tree trunk, looking very satisfied.
Actually, she looks like a heroic heroine among women, but in fact, she doesn't have any particularly great ideals.
The biggest pursuit in her heart is to be able to eat her favorite food like this every day, look at the people she wants to see, and live a relaxed life.
In other words, this kind of life is already her highest pursuit.
Now that she has lived the life she wants most, Xie Wanqing is naturally very comfortable, and her mood is quite comfortable, so even her eyebrows are full of energy.
"Where are we going in the afternoon?" Xie Wanqing tilted her head and looked at Han Hao and asked, she had already eaten and drunk enough, so she naturally wanted to think about where to go to eat better.
Han Hao frowned and pondered for a while, then he raised his head and replied, "I remember, there is a racetrack behind this Panlong Mountain, why don't we go down later, go down to the halfway up the mountain and lead our horses, and let's go to the racetrack in the afternoon." ”
He laughed as he spoke, looked at Xie Wanqing with some expectation and said, "I haven't raced with you yet, let me teach you how to ride a horse today." ”
As soon as Xie Wanqing heard what he said, she immediately came to her senses, glared at him and said, "I said General, don't look down on me, my horseback riding skills are also unmatched by few people, and I will let you see this girl's good skills in the afternoon." ”
After the decision had been made, the three of them sat down in place and rested for a while, and when Xie Wanqing felt that it was not so supportive, the three of them set off and walked halfway up the mountain, ready to lead their horses.
But before they had reached the hillside, they heard a noise from the gentle slope, which sounded like a bunch of people arguing about something.
Xie Wanqing frowned at the noisy voice, and thought that something should have happened. Because it's certainly not a good thing for someone to argue.
It's just that they don't know what's going on. Xie Wanqing Xinzhou was a little worried, so she raised her head and glanced at Han Hao.
Xie Wanqing thought that she had to go to see it after all, after all, their horses were still tethered there, so she continued to walk forward. When they got closer, Xie Wanqing heard clearly, it turned out that the reason for their quarrel was that someone had lost his horse.
This is not a trivial matter, this Panlong Mountain is more than 20 miles away from the capital, and there are no villages and inns in the middle for people to rest halfway.
If there were no horses, and if you couldn't walk back for a day for more than 20 miles, you would definitely have to sleep in the wilderness, and then it would be a big trouble.
It's just that I don't know who lost the horse, and when I encountered such an unfortunate thing, it's no wonder that this person is upset, and it's understandable that he is arguing so loudly.
Xie Wanqing was thinking so, but her sleeve was suddenly pulled by Han Hao. She felt a slight pain, so she wrung her eyebrows and glanced at Han Hao, who knew that when she looked up, she found that Han Hao was also frowning, and his expression was very solemn.
Han Hao's expression was very serious and he looked in the direction of the stable, Xie Wanqing saw him showing this expression, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and followed the direction of his gaze, wanting to see what could make Han Hao show such an expression.
Who knows, at this glance, she immediately discovered the reason why Han Hao's brows were tightly locked.
It turned out that the place where the three of them put their horses in the stable was also empty at the moment, and a moment ago she was sympathizing with the unfortunate people who had lost their horses, but she did not think that they themselves were one of the unlucky people.
Xie Wanqing's heart instantly ignited a raging fire, she only felt extremely angry, and she didn't know which one of them dared to steal the horses of several of them, it was really bold, she felt that this group of people was simply dead.
The creeps who had surrounded them earlier quickly spotted them.
Seeing the two of them at this moment, the little soldier immediately recognized them, and hurriedly stepped forward to the two of them and said, "General, general's wife, I don't know why, there are a lot fewer horses in the stable. General, your horse seems to be ...... too"
He didn't finish what he said next, but he didn't need to finish it, and everyone understood what he meant.
Han Hao's horses for the three of them, those were three really good horses. If someone takes it out and sells it, all of them are valuable horses. It is no wonder that some people came to steal horses and immediately took a fancy to their horses, and it seemed that this little thief had a good eye.
"What can I do about this?" Seeing this, Xie Wanqing panicked, pulled Han Hao's sleeve and asked him in a low voice.
But who knew that Han Hao didn't answer her, he just looked at the little soldier who came to report the news, and asked in a deep voice, "When did you lose the horse?" ”
The little soldier scratched his head, as if he was thinking about it carefully, and after a long time, he replied a little embarrassedly: "Back to the general, the horse has just been lost, and I estimate that it was half an hour ago." ”
Han Hao glanced at him with a frown, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, half an hour, this time is not long, and it is not short.
But the thief of that horse led so many horses, Han Hao expected that he would definitely not be able to run far, not to mention other people's horses, just his Han Hao's mount, that jade horse, was definitely not an easy to subdue character.
The horse was very fierce, and when he saw that the person who led him was not Han Hao but a stranger, he would definitely not be so tame and followed the man down the mountain.
Besides, if the horse thief wanted to steal so many horses without knowing it, it must not be a large group of people acting together, at most two or three people committed the crime.
Now there are two or three of them, not to mention more than ten horses, they will definitely not be able to go fast, and they should not be out of this mountain at the moment, so that is to say, there is still a chance to remedy this matter.
So Han Hao then asked the little soldier, "How many guards are there on our mountain?" ”
This time, the little soldier was very clear, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the general, there are a total of one hundred and six guards on this mountain, of which there are fifty-six people under the mountain and fifty people on the mountain. ”
"Okay." Han Hao said in a deep voice, thinking a little in his heart, and then said: "Then pass my order, transfer everyone on the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and strictly block all the exits of this mountain for me, and not even a fly can be released for me." ”
Seeing that Han Hao was really angry, the little soldier didn't dare to delay, and immediately stood in place and saluted, replied "yes", and then hurriedly went to pass on his order.
Xie Wanqing glanced at Han Hao and asked, "Are you trying to find out the person who stole the horse?" ”
Han Hao nodded lightly and said, "It must be found out, I can't eat this dumb thing." Besides, if we can't find it, how can we go back to the capital? I can't let you, Madame, be forced to sleep in the wild without bringing anything. ”
Xie Wanqing glanced at him approvingly and said, "That is, we must not tolerate these speculative villains who steal chickens and dogs." ”
All the guards on the entire Panlong Mountain obeyed Han Hao's orders and sealed the three exits of the Panlong Mountain tightly, and the vigilance was no less strict than the gate of the palace.
In fact, if you want Xie Wanqing to say, stealing things on this Panlong Mountain is really not a wise choice.
Because this Panlong Mountain can enter and exit, in fact, these three passages. Two of these three passages are in deep canyons, surrounded by steep rock walls.
That is to say, as long as the exit is blocked, absolutely no one can climb out of the cliff, and such terrain is really not conducive to horse thieves to escape.
