Chapter Seventy-One: The Black Horse
"Sweaty horses?" Su Chenguang was puzzled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xue Hao explained: "I heard that sweaty horses are first-class good horses that can travel thousands of miles a day. The carriage we usually sit in is too slow, and it takes a day to go to Luoshan City. It takes four or five days to go from the training camp to Tianqin City of the Tianqin Empire. ”
Su Chenguang nodded: "That's true, the horses of ordinary dignitaries are good horses, and their speed is much faster than ordinary horses." Let's go, let's go together. ”
Little Demon: "It's okay anyway, so let's go together." ”
When the group came to the animal market, all kinds of cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock made unpleasant and noisy sounds.
"What do you miss Childe want to see?"
"What do you want to buy? I'll take you there. ”
As soon as everyone entered the beast market, several people surrounded them to solicit customers. Xue Hao chose a teenager who looked about his age.
The boy was not very old, but he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he seemed very mature.
"I want to buy a good horse, do you know where it is?"
The young man said familiarly: "I know, I know, you come with me." ”
Seeing that Xue Hao had already chosen someone, everyone else around him retreated with regret. Xue Hao and the others don't look like ordinary people, if they can introduce a big business, they can earn a lot of "travel fees".
The young man took Xue Hao and the others to a stable. Horses have more valuable land than ordinary livestock, and this stable is exquisitely built, and the environment is much better than that of the animal market.
"Boss Li, guests are here!" the young man shouted, and a middle-aged man immediately ran out of the stable to greet everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in. Boss Li greeted everyone. The boy followed a few people, and if the trade was successful, he could make a little money.
Boss Li: "Do you want an ordinary horse, or a high-quality horse? or a superb horse, we have it here." ”
"Is there any sweat and blood?" Xue Hao asked.
"This," Boss Li paused for a second, "The sweat horse is the best horse, we don't have the sweat horse for the time being, but now there is an equally excellent red rabbit horse, which can travel thousands of miles a day." ”
Xue Hao nodded, there is no sweat and blood horse, and it is okay to have a red rabbit horse.
Boss Li led everyone to a jujube-colored horse, this horse had smooth hair and was very powerful, half a head taller than the ordinary horses next to him, and his appearance was much better.
Xue Hao stretched out his hand, touched the soft hair on the back of the red rabbit horse, and nodded: "Yes, how can this red rabbit horse be sold?"
"One thousand taels. Boss Li smiled, "It's definitely cost-effective to buy such a superb BMW for 1,000 taels." ”
"How about eight hundred taels?"
"Childe, this bargaining is too ruthless. Or ......"
Just as Xue Hao and Boss Li were bargaining, there was a commotion in the depths of the stable. Inside, a black horse trampled its hooves, shaking its head as if trying to break free from its reins.
When Xue Hao saw this horse, his eyes lit up, this horse was pitch black, its supple hair exuded a black luster, it was taller than the red rabbit horse, and its body was a little bigger.
When Su Chenguang saw this strange horse, he wanted to touch it with his hands, but as soon as he got closer, he saw the horse raise its hooves and kick it towards him. Luckily, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been kicked by the horse.
"Huh, fortunately I hid quickly," Su Chenguang said in surprise, "Why is this horse so bad-tempered?"
Boss Li hurriedly apologized to Su Chenguang: "This son is frightened. This horse was sent to us for consignment some time ago, but after so many days, it has not been completely tamed, so it has been kept here, and we will not recommend this horse to guests who are not fully tamed. ”
Xue Hao became interested in this horse, this horse looks much better than the red rabbit horse, generally the more excellent the horse, the more difficult it is to tame, this horse has a bad temper is normal.
"Boss, how do you sell this horse?"
"Childe, do you want to buy it?" Boss Li was a little embarrassed, "This horse is very expensive, and it is not tamed, you should buy that red rabbit horse, and I will give you some discounts." ”
"This horse is very expensive?" Xue Hao became even more interested, "How much does it cost?" ”
"10,000 taels, and it's a fixed price, don't bargain. ”
"Oh, boss, you don't want to buy it and deliberately raise the price, right?"
Boss Li explained: "This is a black horse, a spirit animal. Although it is a low-level spirit animal, it is a spirit beast after all. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't tamed, I wouldn't have sold it for a low price like 10,000 taels. ”
Xue Hao pondered for a moment, and simply said, "Ten thousand taels, I bought it!"
"You better try to tame it first, if you can't tame it, even if it's a good horse, it's useless to forcibly tie it back. ”
"Okay, I'll try. Xue Hao said, excitedly walking towards the black spirit horse. If you buy this horse, you will be able to travel much faster.
Xue Hao slowly approached the black spirit horse step by step, with a kind smile on his face, making himself appear to be innocent. How could the black spirit horse understand the human expression, as Xue Hao approached, the black spirit horse became even more panicked, struggling even more, and the railing that fixed the reins was shaken.
Seeing that there was no way to appease the black horse, Xue Hao frowned.
"Come on, I used to herd cattle in the village. Daman said.
Xue Hao nodded and let Daman try it.
"Cows are not the same as horses, let alone such a spirit beast, the Black Horse. "Boss Li doesn't believe that Daman can tame it, let alone tame, it's difficult to even get close to the black horse.
Daman slowly approached the black horse, perhaps because the big man looked more pleasing to the eye, and the black horse did not struggle at first. But when Daman tried to pull the reins, the black spirit horse struggled as well.
"Well, I can't either. Daman shook his head, "Which of you can tame this horse?"
The crowd was helpless, where did they know how to train horses.
Boss Li persuaded: "You should buy that red rabbit horse." We have experienced horse trainers, and there is nothing we can do with it, let alone you. ”
"Wang. At this moment, Xiaobai shouted.
"What, do you want to try?" Xue Hao saw Xiao Bai's eagerness to try, "Then you go up and try it." ”
Xiao Bai took a short leg and walked towards the black horse, but saw that the black horse was struggling even more, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
"Woohoo woo woo. Xiao Bai barked a few times in a row, and found that the black horse was still struggling.
It thought maybe its cry wasn't domineering enough, so it tilted its head.
"Whew!" was a wolf howl.
The black horse's struggle stopped instantly, and even Xue Hao pulled the reins and took it away. Not only the black horse, but all the horses in the entire stable trembled and did not dare to make a sound, and the red rabbit horse also lowered its head and its limbs were weak.
In this way, Xue Hao spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a black horse. When Xue Hao gave the silver ticket, Boss Li looked at Xiaobai with a ghostly expression, is this a dog or a wolf? And it can make the spirit beast Black Horse so afraid, ordinary wolves definitely can't.
"Thank you, thank you......" The young man who brought Xue Hao kept saying thank you. Xue Hao spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a black horse, and he could get at least a few dozen taels of silver. With these dozens of taels of silver, he didn't have to worry about going hungry for a long time.
Everyone returned to the training camp in a carriage, and it was naturally the black horse that pulled the carriage. At first, the black pony ran very slowly, which was the effect that Xiaobai had on it.
Later, the black horse ran faster and faster, and in a moment brought everyone back to the training camp.
――――
As soon as he returned to the training camp and separated from the little demon Mu Xiaolin, Xue Hao saw Zhao Fan at the door of the dormitory.
Zhao Fan, a guy who knows the whole world, Xue Hao knows him. The letters written by Xue Hao and Daman to their families were sent out through his hands.
I saw Zhao Fan's anxious expression: "Daman, here is an urgent letter from you!"
"Urgent letter?" Da Man was puzzled, because Ah Xiu felt that sending a letter was too expensive, and had only written one letter to him in such a long time. The cost of sending an urgent letter is three times that of a regular letter, and it is impossible for the thrifty Ah Xiu to send an urgent letter.
Could it be that something happened at home? Da Man hurriedly took the letter and found that the name of the person who sent the letter was Wang Zhen.
Da Man breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know who Wang Zhen was, as long as it wasn't a letter sent by his mother. What he feared most was an urgent letter from his mother.
When he opened the letter, Daman's face suddenly changed: "This, this ......"
Seeing Daman's expression, Xue Hao knew that something big had happened, he snatched the letter from Daman's hand, swept it at a glance, and already knew what was happening.
Da Man's tears were about to fall in a hurry: "Xue Hao, what should I do?help me, think of a way, what should I do?"
After all, he was just a teenager, and he panicked when he encountered something.
"Don't panic, Su Chenguang, you go and inform the little demon, I'll go lead the black spirit horse, let's gather at the gate of the training camp, and immediately rush to Stone Village." ”
"Good. Su Chenguang knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly ran to find the little demon.
Da Man also came back to his senses and wiped the corners of his eyes, it is important to go back now. When he read the letter just now, he thought that his mother might be dead, and his mind went blank in an instant.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Zhao Fan asked.
Xue Hao: "I'll borrow your map and use it." ”
"No problem. Zhao Fan immediately took out the map he was carrying, this map was made by them all over the world, and it was very accurate and detailed.
Soon, the group gathered at the gate of the training camp. Xue Hao didn't expect that the black spirit horse he had just bought would come in handy.
The Black Spirit Horse was extremely fast, and he led everyone to the Qingtai Mountain of the Star Luo Empire non-stop.
