Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 108 There was a misunderstanding at the city gate
Located in Yanzhou, the Hulan Ranch is one of the most prestigious horse farms in the entire Liang country, and even in the entire southern region, with thousands of war horses produced from it every year, and only supplied to the Lixue army stationed on the border of Yanzhou, and no one else can touch it.
The two horses that Gu Xuan was holding in his hands were a heavy gift from the prince when he was leaving, in terms of qualifications and bloodline, it must be the divine horse of the divine horse, the best of the best, they were originally composed of the descendants of the local nomads in Yanzhou, and they grew up on horseback since childhood, whether a war horse is good or not, and even where it is produced, they can recognize it just by looking at it casually.
Not to mention the famous, extraordinary Hulan Divine Horse, which is a specialty of their Hulan County, is extremely recognizable, even if they have never ridden it, they must have seen it, so they didn't think to check it carefully, and directly determined that the two people of unknown origin in front of them were bold horse thieves.
The other party is a soldier of Liangguo, and he is acting impartially, for this kind of misunderstanding that can be explained clearly by waiting, although Gu Xuan and the others feel helpless, it is not easy to resist directly, after all, once they resist, when the time comes, the other party will suffer, and it is really unreasonable, and the two of them raised their hands tacitly, and then they were obediently escorted to the bottom of the wall by these tall soldiers with their backs and waists to stand still.
The reaction was extremely fast, and the captain of the soldier who gave the order to take down the other two people without saying anything also came back to his senses at this time, rubbing his chin full of stubble with one hand, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, how could the heart of the two people behave so calmly, if it was an ordinary thief, they were threatened by their serious Xiong Zhen army with weapons like this, but they were afraid that they would be scared to pee on the spot, and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, these two people are now in such a situation, and they can still maintain such a bearing, without the slightest panic, could it be that these two people are actually people in the bloody army?
Maybe they're here on a special mission!
Otherwise, no matter how stupid a thief is, it is impossible to come directly to the county town with stolen goods to throw himself into the net, is this really taking the city guards as fools?
There must be a problem!
After pondering it carefully, the team leader who thought he had figured out the taste hurriedly stepped forward at this time, stretched out his hand and pulled away the soldiers in front of him, and even his tone was a little polite.
"Two, this horse is the war horse of Hulan Ranch, do you two know?"
Although Xiong Zhenjun is the least strict one among the nine armies of the Liang Kingdom, at least the rules are still understood, the captain spoke, and the others, even if they don't understand why he suddenly became polite, they all didn't interject.
Gu Xuan and Jinglong looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded immediately, and replied politely: "Naturally, I know." β
The little guess in his heart was almost half confirmed, and the tone of the squad leader suddenly became more and more polite, and the seven-foot-tall man rubbed his hands a little nervously, after all, this Drained Blood Army was unanimously praised as the first army of the border pass by both the government and the opposition, whether it was combat effectiveness or its status within the Liang Kingdom, it was far above their Xiong Zhen Army, especially this kind of one or two people who quietly came out to perform special tasks, it was the elite of the elite, and most of them were the personal guards of the generals in the Draining Blood Army, he was just an ordinary squad leader guarding the city gate, where to offend the peopleγ
"Both of you, they should be from the Blood Army, right?" The team leader slowly rubbed his hands, his head drooped slightly, his shoulders were shrugged, the whole person looked a little restrained, and the conjecture in his heart was confirmed by the other half, and he whispered, " I'm sorry, two, I was offended before, because Hulan Ranch lost two horses a few days ago, so that now the whole Yanzhou is under martial law, and the top has issued an order to strictly investigate, I see that the two of them are dressed like soldiers, but they just happened to lead two Hulan horses, this is a misunderstanding, offensive, please forgive me. β
Hulan ranch lost its horse?
Suddenly hearing this bad news, it really shocked Gu Xuan.
That's a big deal, as long as you have one or two horses* Horses, even if there are not enough mares at hand to breed, they can also be crossbred with other excellent horse breeds, breed, and finally breed new horse breeds, even if they are not as good as the original breed, at least they are much stronger than ordinary war horses, no one understands this truth, so the control of the major pastures in the Liang country is extremely strict, and there are heavy soldiers and strict guards outside, no matter what, any horse, once it leaves the pasture, must be castrated, even the two sent by Gu Cang are also gelding horses.
Of course, this is not only because of the fear of being snatched away by the enemy on the battlefield for breeding, but also because the stallion whose desires are not vented in normal times will generally become irritable, and once castrated, the temperament will become more docile, and they can live longer and have better stamina.
In history, there are many horse thieves who take risks in order to seek huge benefits, but most of them do not end well, most of them are directly caught, beheaded on the spot, and even divided by five horses, and Hulan Ranch is the first horse farm in Liangguo, losing horses is the top priority, losing two horses in a row, I am afraid that even the capital has been alarmed, and it is no wonder that Yanzhou will be under martial law.
It's a pity that the strength of his subordinates is too low, and Gu Xuan can't control such a big thing as losing horses in Hulan Ranch, but he can't just take the name of the Bloody Army, and after reacting, he still replied honestly: "We are not from the Bloody Army, these two horsesγγγγγγ β
Before he finished speaking, the face of the leader of the Xiong Zhenjun squad on the opposite side suddenly changed.
"Damn, I've seen the bold, I've never seen you two so bold, Lou Vasi, take these two horse thieves down for me!"
Lou Waxi is a local language often spoken by local herdsmen in Yanzhou, which is a swear word.
No wonder he was so angry, because whether it was the loss of horses in Hulan Ranch or the martial law in the whole territory of Yanzhou, it was strictly forbidden to disclose important military information to outsiders, but he shook it all out because he misunderstood the identity of the other party, and now he found that he actually wanted to go wrong, and naturally he regretted it very much.
More than a dozen soldiers heard the order, without the slightest hesitation, and immediately sent the spear in their hands forward, and even directly hit the two people opposite, Gu Xuan had no choice but to stand against the root of the city wall, raised his hands again, and explained: "You misunderstood, we are not horse thieves, these two horses are γγγγγγ β
When the words came to his lips, he finally paused, did not directly say that it was given by the crown prince Gu Cang, and changed his words: "This is a gift from a friend of mine!"
"Fart, this kind of * horse is only for the blood army, they are not enough, can they also give you two horses? as a gift? Who has such a big face?" The captain of the Xiong Zheng army felt that he had been deceived, and said loudly with an angry face: "Escort me away, send it directly to the barracks, and someone will naturally interrogate you at that time!"
After all, he was a member of Xiong Zhen's army, and he didn't even think about sending it to the county guard mansion at the first time when this happened, but he had to send it directly to the military camp in Wengcheng.
Seeing that the outsiders and traders had already run away, and there were only Xiong Zhen soldiers in front of him, Gu Xuan immediately revealed his identity and said: "Under is Gu Xuan, the fifth prince of Liangguo, and he is also the newly canonized king of Hedong County in the imperial court, I don't need to explain the origin of these two horses to you, this king is here today to discuss important matters with your general." β
After a few words were quickly spoken, the soldiers who were about to come forward to search were startled, and they all quickly stopped what they were doing, turned their heads, and looked at the squad leader in charge.
"Riverγγγγγγ The captain couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and asked again with a somewhat difficult expression, "Are you really the fifth prince?"
Even if this kind of thing starts from the capital and summons the world, the speed will not be very fast, especially in this remote border city, of course, these ordinary soldiers don't know what the five princes are, what the king of Hedong County, but at least they still know the status of the prince and the prince, and they are suddenly a little frightened.
The squad leader was still a little puzzled and said, "If you are the prince, why don't you have a guard of honor with you?"
This is also a normal suspicion, after all, there is a prince who travels lightly with two people, and he still comes to such a dangerous border, without a hundred and ten guards, it seems that he is a little sorry for this identity.
Gu Xuan knew that the explanation was inexplicable, so he put down his hand at the moment, just stretched it into his arms, and saw that the soldiers around him looked nervous, and they were a little nervous one by one, knowing that the other party was afraid that he was playing tricks, so he hurriedly said: "This king will take the token and show it to you." β
Saying, quickly took out a token from his arms, the main body of the token is a luxurious gold color, an inverted triangle, the front is written on the Hedong County King four gilt characters, and the back has a separate 'Xuan' word, at the edge of the token, there is a domineering golden dragon surrounding, just looking at this appearance, it looks extraordinary, the general blacksmith shop, definitely can't make this level of things, this team leader just looked at a few glances, can't help but believe a few points.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The team leader didn't dare to slack off anymore, and waved his hand to let the others disperse quickly, Gu Xuan also straightened his clothes, and stood in front with his hands in his hands.
This time, the squad leader of the Xiong Zhenjun directly bent his waist and whispered very frightenedly: "Lord Wang, I was quite offended just now, we γγγγγγ β
Knowing that the other party was also acting impartially, Gu Xuan waved his hand generously and said: "It's okay, if the Hulan Ranch really loses the horse, you, as the defenders of the border, should be more cautious, you are not wrong about this, but it is meritorious, this king understands, without further ado, I bother you to take us to the military camp immediately and meet General Wanyan." β
The captain of this squad was convinced in an instant, if the other party revealed his identity and suppressed them, he was about to leave, then he might have to leave the other party for interrogation and interrogation, and he couldn't say that he wanted to find the person above to identify it, but since the other party chose to enter the barracks directly, he also named the general of the army, and at the moment he completely believed the identity of the other party, and quickly ordered the person next to him, and then personally brought the Hulan Shenju that he had just taken from the other party, and said respectfully: "Wang γγγγγγ Lord Wang, please, I'll γγγγγγ The little one is here to show the way for the prince!"
"Please!"
Gu Xuan didn't want to delay any longer, he also waved, and then followed the other party through the corridor at the city gate and walked towards the city.
