Chapter 179: Horse Market
Xiahou Yu couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "You mean, someone raised a new horse?" ”
Xiao Huan nodded and said with a smile: "I want to try raising horses in Xiangyang." ”
If they can succeed, they will have their own horses, and they will no longer have to be subject to the Hu people, and they will not be afraid of the sneak attack of the Hu people on horseback.
Xiahou Yu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Great! Who raised this horse? Is that person willing to go to Xiangyang? Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Do you need me to take them back to Xiangyang?" ”
Xiao Huan was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about it.
Discover a new breed of horse, and find a way to put the horse breeder under his command, that's for sure. After all, there are many people in the army, and if those people follow him, and they are still Hu people, most of them will attract the attention of others. He was going to take a group of Hu slaves back. But these Hu slaves often disobeyed discipline, and when he followed Yin Lin, he often fought with Bei Liang, and those Bei Liang captives did not run away halfway, but tried to attack their leaders or soldiers. They captured the Hu people, and they usually killed them.
It was not a good idea to let the horse breeder and the Hu captives mix together.
But if you follow Xiahou Yu back to Xiangyang...... It can be called Xiahou Yu buying slaves.
She has a good player like Yin Ping by her side, and she is not afraid of those Hu people resisting.
The more Xiao Huan thought about it, the better he felt.
Xiahou Yu also knew his advantages, and immediately said: "This matter is decided like this." When the time comes, I'll try to get a few of these horses too. ”
With this ability to raise her, she believes that the income of her estate will be higher and higher.
Xiao Huan smiled slightly, he liked Xiahou Yu like this confident and energetic.
"Then I'll leave this matter to the eldest princess." He didn't hesitate and made a decision in an instant.
Xiahou Yu suspected that Xiao Huan's appointment of her to the horse market was completely a pretense. However, with such a new discovery, even if it is a disguise, Xiahou Yu feels that it is very rewarding.
She said, "Are we still going to Hulan?" ”
"Of course." Xiao Huan was surprised, "Don't you want to go?" ”
Well, it seems that she is a gentleman with the heart of a villain again.
"I want to go!" Xiahou Yu smiled, "I think it's good for me to sit on this horse." ”
Xiao Huan nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "But there should be better horses in the horse market, I said, I want to find you a better horse in the Western Regions." ”
Xiahou Yu pursed his lips and smiled.
The midday sun shone on her face, and her smile was brighter than that.
Xiao Huan turned his face away, jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the little maid, and stood still in the shade of the tree.
Over there, Ah Brown helped Xiahou Yu get off the horse.
Xiao Huan beckoned Xiahou Yu over: "It's cool here, drink some water." He handed the water bladder to Xiahou Yu.
When Xiahou Yu was delicate, she felt uncomfortable stepping on a pebble under her feet, but she followed Xiao Huan out, and if others didn't shout bitterness, she wouldn't cry bitterness.
She took Xiao Huan's water bladder and drank a few sips in a row, and returned the water bladder to Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan took the water bladder and drank a few sips, threw the water bladder to Xiao Bei, and then pointed to a stream in front of the woods and said, "Follow here, you can reach Hanshui." ”
Xiahou Yu never knew which direction the mountain was in and where the water was flowing.
She nodded blankly.
Xiao Huan talked there for a long time, and she didn't understand, but fortunately, Xiao Bei quickly sent dry food for noon and two Hu cakes.
Xiahou Yu was so disgusted, but he still took one and tore a corner, and complained: "Why do you eat this again?" ”
Xiao Bei was a little dumbfounded.
Xiao Huan waved his hand at him and motioned him to retreat, but his mouth responded to Xiahou Yu: "It's not easy to break." ”
All right!
It's a little softer than what they ate before they came.
Xiahou Yu barely ate two or three pieces and couldn't eat it.
Xiao Huan looked at her and smiled.
Xiahou Yu glared at him.
Knowing that she couldn't eat this kind of cake, he gave her to eat it, saying that "he will prepare everything else", this is the food he prepared.
Xiao Huan smiled even more heartily.
But he didn't say anything, but looked around, and saw that Xiao Bei and the others were sitting in the shade of the tree munching on Hu cakes, he took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, handed it to her, and laughed in a low voice: "I know that you are not used to eating, who knows that you actually reluctantly ate a small piece yourself, this is for you." ”
Xiahou Yu opened the oiled paper bag in confusion, and it was actually a pastry made of a few pieces of rice.
"Let's eat!" Xiao Huan smiled, "Pad your stomach first, and when you arrive in Hulan Town, you will have hot soup to drink." ”
Xiahou Yu said unhappily: "You are deliberately making things difficult for me, right?" ”
Xiao Huan smiled: "No, the cake is for me, you took it, and I am embarrassed to ask you to come back." ”
Xiahou Yucai didn't care if it was true or not, she never had trouble with her stomach, and directly ate a few rice cakes.
Xiao Huan saw that she was eating well, and the smile in his eyes seemed to overflow.
After the child, everyone got back on the road and arrived in Hulan Town in the west of the sun.
It is said that it is a small town, that is, there are more than a dozen wooden houses scattered in a forest, all kinds of livestock are tied everywhere, the smell is overwhelming, there are many people in the Western Regions who wear leather jackets and expose half of their bare arms, and there are many Hu people with pigtails, although the sun is about to set, the town is still very noisy with cows and horses.
Seeing such glamorous and beautiful people as Xiao Huan and Xiahou Yu, everyone couldn't help but look at them, and there were ragged children who ran to them to beg for errands: "As long as you have a cake, I can find you whatever you want, and you don't need to run in person." ”
Xiao Bei stepped forward to drive the group of children away and led them towards a large wooden house on the edge of the town.
Xiahou Yu saw Wu Qiao.
Shouldn't he be in Chang'an City?
How is it here?
"Head of the house!" He shouted Xiao Huan and respectfully saluted Xiahou Yu.
Xiahou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a good thing they didn't make it through the town, or they would have been smoked to death.
Xiao Huan bowed his head towards Wu Qiao and dismounted.
Wu Qiao's entourage rushed forward to help them lead their horses, and Wu Qiao welcomed Xiao Huan and Xiahou Yu into the wooden house.
The smell in the wooden house was much better, and the servants retreated after serving refreshments, leaving only Xiao Huan, Xiahou Yu, Xiao Bei, Yin Ping and Wu Qiao in the house.
Xiao Bei stood in front of the door, and Yin Ping stood in front of the window.
Wu Qiao glanced at it and began to pay tribute to Xiao Huan: "According to your instructions, I bought more than a thousand horses and sent them back to Xiangyang intermittently. I also found a few people who are good at raising horses, and they didn't ask for Hu people, all of them were Semu people and people from the Western Regions. The last time the market opened, there was a Hu man with a fresh face, saying that he came from Luoyang, but he didn't look like an ordinary businessman. I was just about to tell you to come a few days later......"
Xiao Huan snuggled obliquely on the hidden sac of the big red treasure flower that the Hu people liked to use, drank tea lazily, and listened to Wu Qiao's words: "Just send someone to keep an eye on it." After this business with Batu, we will not do it. Bei Liang will know it when he knows. ”
Wu Qiao smiled and responded "yes", turned around and asked Xiahou Yu to show down: "Madame is rare to come once, is it to eat the whole sheep, or to taste their pilaf?" ”
Isn't this what Xiao Huan should be asked? Ask her what to do?
Xiahou Yu looked at Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan looked at her with a smile, looking like she was the master of the house.
Inexplicably, she blushed and said, "Then let's eat the whole sheep!" Everyone gathered around and had a lively time. ”
