Chapter 301 and 302 Horse
Of course, Huo Qingzhou wouldn't know that the reason why Zhanhuai fed him Shaanxi-style dishes was because they were all sent by Huo Roufeng to An Hai.
An Hai brought two carts of things, one of which was food, and told him to eat as soon as possible, although it is not yet the New Year, but the food will not be fresh after a long time.
If it weren't for the fear that he wouldn't be able to finish eating and spoiling, Zhanhuai would be reluctant to share the dishes sent by Xiao Jiu with Huo Qingzhou.
The other cart of things that An Hai brought was quietly sent by Gui Bo to Shuangjing Hutong and brought by Tuo Huo Roufeng.
There are jade pot white and wine given by the emperor, as well as Jinchuang medicine for external injuries, medicinal supplements for internal injuries, and even a cage of pigeons.
When Zhan Huai saw these things, he knew that they were sent by the second brother Zhan Yurang.
The second brother guessed that Xiao Jiu had a prejudice against him, so he asked Xiao Jiu to bring him something under the pretense of Gui Bo's hand.
The second brother is a person who always takes into account everyone's ideas when doing things, and strives to be perfect in everything.
Zhanhuai sighed in his heart, if the second brother could be in Fujian all these years, his achievements would definitely not be inferior to the eldest brother, but unfortunately the second brother could only be trapped in the capital, following behind the eldest princess Fangyi, and being an unobtrusive concubine.
Zhan Huai let out a long breath, it was because of the sacrifice of the second brother that the Zhan family had ten more years, and in these ten years, they could recuperate and secretly expand their private army.
Although his father had already said that from the day the second brother entered Beijing, the family regarded him as dead.
Zhanhuai used to think the same way, he was not familiar with the second brother, the second brother was much older than him, and the third and fourth brothers played with him when he was a child. When he remembered a little, the second brother had already left Fujian.
This time he came to the capital, but it was the first time he had formal contact with the second brother, although he did not meet the second brother many times, but perhaps the blood between siblings was thicker than water, and he felt more and more sorry for the second brother.
"It's really that day, no matter what the price I pay, I will take my second brother to escape from the capital. The second brother has sacrificed too much for the sake of the family, and I can't watch him take his own life again. ”
Zhanhuai silently thought to himself countless times in his heart, he no longer has a fourth brother, he can't do without a second brother, and his mother can't lose a son anymore.
Thinking of this, Zhanhuai remembered the eldest princess Fangyi, who was very worthless for the second brother. When the second brother was in Fujian, he didn't know if he had a favorite girl, he didn't understand it before, but now he understands it more and more, if he can't marry Xiao Jiu in his life, then he doesn't want anyone.
If it was him who married, he would not agree to be killed. He would quarrel with his father, cry with his mother, and if he was in a hurry, he would simply run as far as he could, and come back after a few years when the wind was calm.
In the final analysis, the sacrifice made by the second brother for the family, he can't do it, he can throw his head for the family, spill his blood, or kill countless people for the family, but let him marry a woman other than Xiao Jiu, he can't accept it if he kills.
Alas, ordinary girls, when they reach the age of Xiao Jiu, it is time to discuss marriage, set the family affairs, all the big and small decisions are over, and when the woman's dowry is about the same, it will take two or three years, and the girl will be able to marry when she is just in time.
But the situation of the Huo family is different, Xiao Jiu is still a man, she still has to set up a household for the Huo family, even if Mrs. Huo loves her again, she will not let her recover her daughter now, let alone set up a family affair for her early.
Zhanhuai sighed, most of the little girls are fifteen or sixteen years old, then he will wait until he is ninety-eight years old, if Xiao Jiu is eighteen years old, or continue to be a man, then he will think of another way, or find a showdown with Mrs. Huo, if Mrs. Huo does not agree, as long as Xiao Jiu agrees, he will take Xiao Jiu back to Fujian, if Xiao Jiu does not agree, he will fight until Xiao Jiu agrees.
In short, Xiao Jiu is the person he has married, whether Xiao Jiu will be a man or a woman in the future, he will decide.
Zhan Huai thought about it, and the more he wanted to see Huo Roufeng, but he still had to avoid it here for a while, and at this time, the wind in the capital had just risen, and it was not suitable for him to show up.
Zhanhuai had nothing to do, so he had to force Ah Youzao to build a guide car again.
And Huo Qingzhou was full of food and drink, and thought that Zhanhuai would come to him again, but he didn't expect Zhanhuai to never come back, he was very curious, and he wanted to know what happened to the letter he wrote.
Helplessly, all he could see were guards, and although these people were not mute, they were almost the same as mute.
Huo Qingzhou was bored, so he had to scold in the yard again, but this time no matter how he scolded, he didn't see Zhanhuai appear again.
He asked one of the guards, "Is Zhanhuai deaf?" ”
The guard urn said angrily: "The birds calling three miles away from our fifth master can be heard, but what you scold is all northern dialect, and our fifth master can't understand it." ”
Huo Qingzhou was speechless for a while, it turned out that he had scolded in vain.
He pulled the guard's arm and asked, "What do you say about the fuck of the Hokkien dialect, what do you say about your ancestor, and what do you say about the eighth son of the king, the grandson of the turtle?" ”
The guard was so anxious by him that he said, "We Hokkien people don't scold people like this. ”
Huo Qingzhou was overjoyed and said to the guard: "Then how did you scold, teach me quickly, and when I go out, I will give you the banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building." ”
So all afternoon, Huo Qingzhou was learning Hokkien dialect, there was no way, he wanted to know how Hokkien dialect was scolding, so he had to start learning Hokkien dialect.
Zhanhuai was watching Ah You as a guide again, Geng Yi came over and told him: "Fifth master, Huo Qingzhou has learned Hokkien dialect for an afternoon, this person is really smart, and he is catchy, I think if he really goes to Hokkien, he can chat with the locals for a while." ”
Zhanhuai laughed and said, "Is he so smart?" So you can speak Hokkien dialect? Since he likes to learn this, he must know a lot of dialects, by the way, you ask him, will he be a red-haired person. ”
The next day, Geng Yi really asked, in addition to Huo Qingzhou's usual Beijing films, he can also speak Shandong, Suzhou, Sichuan, Henan and Cantonese, and is also proficient in Tatar language.
Zhan Huai was amazed and said to Geng Yi: "When I was in Fujian before, I thought that the translator under my father's command was already very remarkable, but I didn't expect to come to the capital and meet people who were also hidden as Crouching Tigers. No wonder my father often said that a boy should be ambitious in all directions, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. ”
Bi Daoyuan beside Huo Roufeng, as well as the doctor Roger of unknown origin, and now this nervous Huo Qingzhou, none of them should be underestimated.
In addition to these three people, there is also the Su Qian, who is said to be unforgettable, and the mysterious Xie Sicheng.
Zhan Huai felt a little regretful in his heart, but it was a pity that some of these people would not be willing to be subordinate, and some people had different aspirations, otherwise if they were all taken by his side, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings.
My father said, "You don't have to be martial arts, but you have people who are willing to die for you; You don't have to be talented, but you have to have someone who is talented to give you advice. ”
Zhanhuai thought like this, the more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, he originally sat on the south-facing windowsill, this was his habit since he was a child, after coming to the capital, no matter whether it was cold and he couldn't open the window, he still sat on the windowsill at every turn.
He jumped down from the windowsill and said to Geng Yi: "You go and ask Huo Qingzhou, if you want to go out for horseback riding, and hunt some prey by the way." ”
Geng Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Ninth Master, this Huo Qingzhou is not a powerless scholar, and this person has a perverse temperament, no one knows what he will do in the next moment, can you take him out." ”
Zhanhuai smiled: "What? Are you still afraid that he will kill me, or are you afraid that he will run away? Don't worry, since he wrote me that letter, he won't run away for a moment. As for whether he will kill me, haha, he doesn't have the ability to do that yet. ”
Geng Yi thought about it, he tried Huo Qingzhou's skills, it was indeed good, but the fifth master's skills were also good, and the fifth master practiced real kung fu that could go into battle to kill the enemy since he was a child, without any showmanship, and Huo Qingzhou's martial arts were different, if the two of them started to kill the killer, the fifth master would definitely have the upper hand.
Despite this, Geng Yi still let Ah You follow Zhanhuai, and transferred twenty dead soldiers to protect him secretly.
There is no suspense, Huo Qingzhou agreed, he was about to go crazy, now don't say let him go hunting, even let him pretend to be prey and be beaten, he is also willing, then he can spread his hooves and run around in the field, how happy.
Zhanhuai asked people to bring him clothes and shoes to wear on horseback. Although Huo Qingzhou has been hungry for many days and lost a lot of weight, he is still young and recovers quickly.
The next day it was another sunny day, and Zhanhuai and Huo Qingzhou left Zhuangzi early and went to a mountain ten miles away.
Huo Qingzhou secretly observed, but he could only be sure that this was near the capital, but he didn't know what the specific place was.
Because the counties near the capital are very similar, even the mountains and rivers are similar, unless there is a landmark place, it is really impossible to see.
Huo Qingzhou simply didn't care so much, since he returned to the capital, it was the first time he rode a horse, riding a horse and whipping, and he was in a good mood.
What secretly surprised him even more was that the horses he and Zhanhuai rode were actually war horses.
For Soma, he doesn't have Huo Roufeng's ability, just by hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he can distinguish between war horses and ordinary horses. Although he has seen a lot of things, he has seen a limited number of war horses, and he is different from Huo Roufeng, who grew up on horseback in his previous life.
The reason why he was able to tell that it was a war horse was because of the imprint on the horse.
This is also the difference between a war horse and a normal horse.
Zhanhuai is the sister-in-law of the Zhan family, it is not strange that he can have a war horse, the strange thing is that he actually brought the war horse from Fujian to the capital!
And it's not just these two, Huo Qingzhou can almost conclude that the more than 20 horses that follow far behind him must also be war horses.
Zhanhuai brought at least dozens of horses, and dozens of people came to the capital from Fujian.
You must know that these horses come thousands of miles, and every post station will be in danger of being discovered, but these horses and these people who are in their arms can come to the capital safe and sound, it is conceivable that it is not that they were lucky all the way and were not discovered.
Instead, the exhibitors already have enough capacity and manpower to let these horses come to the capital smoothly.
They are not afraid of being discovered, because even if they are discovered by the people at the inn, they are safe and sound.
Huo Qingzhou gasped, is the Zhan family's power already so big?
He remembered some things he had heard, such as that there was a crude medicine merchant in Handan who planted parsnip, and because he was doing business with the Zhan family, the whole family was wiped out overnight.
For example, Jinyiwei searched the whole city in the middle of the night, obviously saying that they wanted to arrest the fine work sent by King Rong, but in fact, what they wanted to arrest was Zhanhuai.
Huo Qingzhou's heart was shocked, the imperial court's fear of the Zhan family had reached an obvious place, and the Zhan family seemed to be ready to fly.
Just now he glanced at the imprint on the horse's body a few more times, and it had already fallen into Zhanhuai's eyes, he saw that although Huo Qingzhou was galloping on the horse, his expression was solemn, usually Huo Qingzhou was so hungry that he was full of energy, he shouldn't be the look he has now.
Huo Qingzhou has something on his mind, and this thing is that he only had it after seeing that these horses were war horses.
Zhanhuai is not rejected, he thinks that people like Huo Qingzhou who can see the clues and think about it are all people with brains and foresight.
If you can't even see this, or even if you see it, you still don't seem to be aware of it, then this kind of person can only be defined by having no heart and no city.
Huo Qingzhou is obviously a person with a high mind.
Zhanhuai shook the reins, stepped forward, and walked side by side with Huo Qingzhou.
He smiled softly and asked, "Brother Huo, what do you think of this horse?" ”
Huo Qingzhou's face was expressionless: "Strong and powerful, it's okay." ”
Zhanhuai smiled: "His name is Qingluan, he has been training in the mountains since he was a child, and he is good at walking mountain roads, don't think that our Zhan family will only fight sea battles, our family's riding skills are also very good, I have ridden Qingluan, and its durability is the top among these horses." ”
Huo Qingzhou's temples moved, and Zhanhuai actually took the initiative to talk about the origin of this horse openly and unfairly, he was not talking about horses, but about the ambitions of their Zhan family.
The Zhan family is not only good at naval battles, they can ride and shoot well, they can not only fight the Japanese people, they can also fight the Tartars.
