Chapter Twenty-Six: Choosing a Horse
"Okay. That starts now. ”
Dong Li also became interested. Originally, when he went out today, he just found a reason to send a horse to Xu Yu. But after such a toss, I suddenly felt that this bet was quite interesting.
"Yes."
Of course, Xu Yu will not back down. Immediately responded.
Although horses were ridden in previous lives, most of the modern horses, especially those in the countryside, are short ponies, and they have degraded a lot, and they are not as good as the wild horses of this era and the war horses selected from the wild horses of this era.
Most people are visual animals, they don't feel it when they look at it, and it naturally doesn't mean that to ride it. Coupled with the wars of this era, having a horse with the same heart is often much better than a good horse at a critical time.
If he can have a good horse in advance and cultivate a tacit understanding with himself, then Xu Yu's chances of completing the task will be much greater, after all, the three missions in this world must be killed from the sea of corpses and blood.
"Dong Fang, Dong Fang." Dong Li shouted.
"Young Master, I'm here." A black and thin man hurriedly ran in front of Dong Li.
"Drive all the horses out of the horse farm for me. Out of order, I'm going to pick a horse. ”
Dong Li commanded. Compared to the previous life, when I was 12 years old, I only came into contact with family things. Dong Yan has improved a lot. At least now they have begun to contact the pillar industries of the Dong family.
"Yes." Dong Fang hurriedly responded.
The old people of the Dong family all know that this young master of the Dong family has been called a monster since he was a child, and he was almost drowned, and after being suppressed by the old woman with great compassion, even Dong Zhuo was not close. But since the murder at the age of seven, Dong Li still gained some support from the Dong Mansion.
After all, in Liangzhou, a place where aliens are rampant and wars are frequent. It's better to have a youkai than a softie. Before, because of the old lady, Dong Yan had been hiding clumsy, and he was also cultivated by the old lady as a strange soldier, and he did not show up.
But in this life, with Xu Yu as a person who knows Dong Li's development trajectory, he naturally won't let Dong Yan hide it like this.
After all, the main reason why the good situation created by Dong Li in the previous life was destroyed, although it was in the family, but part of the reason was because Dong Li was not close to Dong Zhuo since he was a child.
This lack of closeness even affected Dong Zhuo's inability to take over Dong Zhuo's class. After all, although Dong Zhuo himself has made a great reputation in Luoyang and even the entire Han Dynasty, because he is not yet famous in Dong Zhuo's forces, when Dong Zhuo wanted to exclude dissidents for Dong Zhuo, there was the Li Dao Guo Yan Rebellion.
With foresight, Xu Yu naturally will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Although the current Dong Yu has not yet grown up in exchange for Dong Yu's death. But after the cultivation and persuasion of Xu Yu, a person who had studied the history of the Three Kingdoms in Dong Li's heart, he knew that Dong Zhuo was not so heartbroken and hopeless in the history he knew. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's resentment towards Dong Zhuo was not as big as before, and he began to accept Dong Zhuo in his heart.
also began to convince his grandmother to let himself get in touch with some things of the Dong family. Cultivate a team for yourself in advance.
Dong Fang's efficiency was very fast, and he didn't let Dong Yan wait long, and drove all the horses fed in the horse farm to the open field.
"Young Master Qiqi, a total of 2,152 horses in the horse farm have all arrived in the clearing. Since a batch was sold before, I sent one to the master. The horse farm currently has more mares, more ponies, and fewer war horses. But most of them are good horses. ”
Dong Fang introduced Dong Li with pride on his face, after all, Dong's horse farm was run by him.
"Haha. Dongjia Racecourse can have today's achievements, Dong Fang, you are indispensable, and I will tell you like the old lady for your merits. ”
Dong Li said with a smile. Although he doesn't have so much power now, this is always an attitude, just let Dong Fang see his attitude.
"Xiao Yu, how is my Dong family's horse."
Dong Yan looked back at Xu Yu, and said with a faint show off in his tone.
"Good, good."
Xu Yu stared at it, and replied to Dong Yan in a coping manner. The mind has long been taken away by these good horses in the stable.
Dong Yan was not angry, and turned back with a smile and continued to look at the horse.
If you want to talk about this horse, Xu Yu has not ridden it in his previous life. After all, Yunnan is a tourist city, and there are ancient tea horse roads, Tengchong jade, jade, etc. Horse breeding, horse riding, horse farms, etc. are countless in Yunnan.
Every time Xu Yu travels to Lijiang, Tengchong and other places, he always has to ride a horse. Round out the dream of galloping horses in my heart.
However, although there are many horse farms in Yunnan, most of them are informal, and there are basically no good horses. It's all mules or bantams born of donkeys and horses.
It doesn't look so atmospheric, and it doesn't have the artistic conception of the jade horse in brocade clothes and the end of the sword world as imagined.
So basically, Xu Yu is not particularly happy every time.
Despite this, Xu Yu is still very satisfied. After all, horses are not a scarce resource in modern times, and they are very common. Uses are also not as indispensable as in ancient times.
But this person is always afraid of comparison.
I have never seen Dong Li's horses of this era, and I always feel that although modern horses are not as good as I imagined, they are also very good.
But after really seeing it, I felt that modern horses are not horses at all compared to horses of this era. After all, horses in this era were used to fight, while modern horses are mainly used for viewing and racing. A few places are used to transport goods and pull people.
Different needs make the difference in horses, but also create different feelings.
The horses of this era made Xu Yu truly experience the feeling of whipping the horse and galloping the horse.
Of course, Yunnan belongs to the area with more mountains, rivers and hills. There may not be so many good horses, and Xu Yu has never seen a real good horse in modern times. The idea may be a bit biased.
But no matter what, Xu Yu is really in love with Ma to the bone now. I always want to have a good horse for myself.
"Okay, don't look at it. Go ahead and choose. ”
Although Dong Li also loves horses, after all, these horses are his own. It's not that urgent. Seeing that Xu Yu was still staring at the horse dizzyingly, he couldn't help but remind Xu Yudao.
"Yes, yes." Xu Yu came to his senses, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and walked towards the herd. Pat this, look at that. The curvature of the corners of the mouth is getting bigger and bigger.
"Well, this white horse is quite in line with my temperament, but it's not so domineering."
"This dark horse is domineering, but it's not very good-looking."
Xu Yu muttered while watching. Dong Li couldn't help but stroke his forehead. Some are speechless.
If you can choose a good horse by looking at the appearance, it will be convenient to choose according to those good-looking ones, and what else do you need to do with the horses.
However, Dong Li did not remind Xu Yu, after all, in his opinion, Xu Yu should not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
"Hey, this horse."
Xu Yu walked up to an ink-colored, small, but very majestic horse, and couldn't help but stop and watch it carefully.
"Yes. Are you going to pick this one? ”
Dong Li's voice suddenly felt a little wrong, as if he regretted it.
Xu Yu didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "I'll take a look, look again." ”
"Childe has good eyesight, this is a horse just sent by our Dong family's horse hunting team, and it is a descendant of the king of horses in the horses. There was no one in the field who didn't like this horse. However, because he was still young, his wife let him keep him on the horse farm. ”
Dong Fang didn't know who Xu Yu was, but seeing that Dong Yu was very familiar with him, he immediately went up to offer courtesy.
"King of Horses."
As soon as Xu Yu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, most of the good horses in the novels in his previous life were horse kings. Similar to Jueying, Chitu and others are all good horses in ten thousand. Although the descendants of the King of Horses may not be as good as the King of Horses, they are certainly much stronger than the average good horse.
"I'm going to ask for this."
Xu Yu immediately said. Why don't you choose, this horse farm just sent a batch of war horses to Dong Zhuo, and the best estimate was sent away, if this horse was not young, it is estimated that it would also be sent away.
Compared to the other horses in the racecourse, the descendants of this king of horses are definitely the best one. And it conforms to all the conjectures of the horse in Xu Yu's imagination. Why go to the trouble of choosing another horse.
"Brother Dong, I'll choose this one."
Seeing that Dong Yan should not, Xu Yu immediately turned around and said.
"Yes." Dong Li's tone was a little reluctant, as if he was a little reluctant.
"Haha, Brother Dong. You won't be reluctant. ”
When Xu Yu saw this, he immediately knew what Dong Li was thinking.
After all, Dong Li was a master of Soma in his previous life, and his mount, the Lion's Mane Beast, was chosen by himself.
Xu Yu estimated that Dong Yan didn't know about the existence of this horse in the horse farm in advance, and this horse was indeed very good. So after being chosen by Xu Yu, I felt a little unhappy.
"Hmph. Will I lose? Dong Yan snorted and glanced at Xu Yu.
"Hehe, then let's see the real chapter later." Xu Yu didn't stimulate Dong Yan either, and accepted it when he saw it.
