Looking at the inside of the Black Stone Fort through the gate, it is not much different from ordinary villages, but the outer Black Stone City Wall makes the entire Black Stone Fort temperament extraordinary. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you think of this Black Stone Castle?" Shaoyang asked with a smile to Zhao Yun and the others beside him.

"Extraordinary. "Zhao Yun admires the guards very much, at first glance, they are good materials for being soldiers, if they join their own army, they will soon become elite soldiers.

"It's quite disciplined. Guo Jia's eyes were more focused on the layout of the city defense, and his eyes were burning.

It didn't take long for the guards who had left before to trot back, followed by a middle-aged man, who came to Shaoyang and respectfully saluted Shaoyang and the others: "A few distinguished guests, the old man of the Wang family is invited, please come with me." ”

The Wang family is one of the three surnames of Blackstone Castle, and that old man Wang should be the elder of the Wang family, Shaoyang and the others immediately saluted the middle-aged man and said, "Your Excellency is tired to lead the way." ”

The layout of the villages in the Black Stone Fort is similar to that of other villages, but the houses in the fort are generally mainly brick houses, unlike other villages in the Northern Wilderness, most of the families still live in thatched houses, which shows that the people here live a rich life.

Walk down the main road and come to the center of the Black Stone Castle, a red wall appears in front of everyone's eyes, and the word ancestral hall is hung on the vermilion gate.

Glancing at Guo Jia, seeing a meaningful smile on his face, Shaoyang thought to himself, Blackstone Castle probably already knew the intention of knowing the others, but since the other party treated him politely, he would not cause trouble if he wanted to.

Sure enough, Shaoyang and the others entered the ancestral hall under the guidance of the middle-aged man.

Entering the ancestral hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a wide courtyard, with several rockeries standing in the middle, a bay of pond water is located in it, and the door of the main house in front of it is locked.

And Shaoyang and the others came to the wing room on the left, the accompanying soldiers were left in the courtyard, and the four Shaoyang and the caravan steward followed the middle-aged man into the left wing.

The wing room on the left side was actually arranged into a living room, and there were three chairs on the main seat, one of which sat an old man with gray hair, Shaoyang estimated that the old man should be seventy years old, but his face was ruddy, and his body was still tough and strong.

"Your guests are not welcome to visit, please take a seat. The elder of the royal family did not get up, but sat on the main seat and greeted him with a smile, his voice was loud and full of energy.

Shaoyang and the others were also not polite, Shaoyang and Guo Jia sat down separately, Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang stood behind them for security reasons, and the caravan steward naturally couldn't sit down, standing silently on the side.

"In Xia Xu Sanyang, I took the liberty to visit, because I wanted to ask Blackstone Fort for verification. Shaoyang didn't reveal his identity, pretending to be a child of the Xu family, and explained his intentions to the old man of the Wang family.

"Oh!" the elder of the Wang family groaned softly, making a look of incomprehension, looking at Shaoyang with a slightly questioning look, if it weren't for a flash of essence in his eyes and betraying him, Shaoyang might have really believed that he didn't know.

"My Xu family recently purchased a batch of war horses, and they were robbed when they passed through Tiemu City, and it is said that they were committed by Guibao. Shaoyang was straightforward.

The elder of the Wang family was stunned for a moment because of Shaoyang's direct moment, and then immediately put the teacup on the table heavily, and said angrily: "Bastard, who did such a banditry, quickly find out, if there is really such a thing, the old man will be severely punished." ”

The elder of the Wang family was out of breath because of anger, and the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back to smooth him, but was pushed away by the elder of the Wang family and asked him to act according to his instructions: "I can't die yet, you go and find out." ”

Even though he knew that the old man did it on purpose, the actions of the old man of the Wang family made Shaoyang a little embarrassed, and he had to speak out to comfort: "Don't be angry, old lady, I believe it's just a misunderstanding, I just hope that Guibao can return the war horse." ”

After hearing about the origin of Blackstone Fort and his past with the resistance to the orcs, Shaoyang gave up his original plan, and as long as he retrieved the war horse, he would no longer blame Blackstone Fort.

As if he hadn't heard what Shaoyang said, the elder of the Wang family stroked his chest and let out a low moan, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

After Shaoyang and the others drank a cup of tea, a maid immediately stepped forward to add it for them, and after adding it three times, the middle-aged man returned to the living room, and the middle-aged man came in with the other two old men, and the two went straight to the main seat and sat on the two empty chairs.

"Young man, old fellow, my surname is Zhang, and I am the patriarch of the Zhang family in Blackstone Castle. The dark-skinned old man spoke, and after he introduced his identity, he said again without waiting for Shaoyang to respond: "It was my unsuccessful grandson who robbed the war horse. The elder of the Zhang family turned slightly red, and he was embarrassed by his grandson's behavior of robbing horses

"Since you know who the war horse is, it's easy to do, and I also ask Mrs. Zhang to ask Lingsun to return my Xu family's war horse. Finally found the main owner, Shaoyang immediately asked him for a war horse.

"This ...... My grandson loves those horses very much, and my Zhang family is willing to compensate according to the price. The elder of the Zhang family hesitated for a moment before indicating the Zhang family's plan.

Unexpectedly, the other party was only willing to compensate, and did not plan to return the war horses, of course he could not agree, and refused: "Old lady Zhang, if Ling Sun likes war horses, you can choose a few good horses from that batch of war horses to give to him, but I am afraid it is not appropriate to leave all the war horses, and these war horses actually do not belong to the Xu family." ”

"It's really not negotiable? My Zhang family is willing to pay an extra 10% price. "The Zhang family is also not short of money, and the more than 500 war horses are enough to make the strength of Blackstone Fort to a higher level, and the Wang and Sun families obviously support the Zhang family.

"Needless to say, I waited for this time to come here, I just want to get back the war horse. Shaoyang said in a resolute tone.

Shaoyang and the other attitudes made the faces of the three clan elders unhappy, but before they could speak.

"Three grandfathers, talk to them about a ball, how can we send out the war horse that has already arrived in our hands. A deafening voice rang out, and several young men burst in from outside.

The sturdy young man led by him was eight feet tall and dark-skinned, somewhat similar to the old man of the Zhang family, staring at a pair of copper bells and big eyes, shouting at Shaoyang: "Acquaintances take the money and leave the Black Stone Castle, otherwise don't blame Grandpa for being rude, I will beat you up and throw you into the river outside the fort." ”

"Your Highness, it was he who led people to snatch the war horses. The caravan steward walked to Shaoyang's side, recalling the scene when he was beaten by the young man of the Zhang family, and his bruised face felt pain again.

The rude behavior of the young man of the Zhang family made Shaoyang dissatisfied, ignored the young man, and directly questioned the three clan elders: "Ling Sun's words represent the meaning of the three families of the Black Stone Castle?"
