Raising horses? Li Mi frowned slightly and shook his head.

Xue Juan then told the story of raising horses, this horse is not another horse, but those young women who have been carefully selected and bought with a lot of money, they are concentrated in one place, and there are special grandmothers to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, dance, song and tea.

After a few years, these carefully selected beauty embryos can be sent to the Qinglou, or sent to those powerful princes and nobles, among which the best can even enter the palace through the draft, and even take the owner to soar into the sky.

Xue Juan's owner is in the business of raising horses, and I don't know how many talented beauties have been cultivated in the past ten years, and they have been sent out to make friends with those dignitaries and dignitaries in exchange for benefits.

And Xue Juan has been bought with a lot of money since she was a child, and the horse raising grandmother at the bottom of the owner commented that she has charming eyes, and her charm is hidden at a young age, and she will have a good life as a concubine when she grows up, so she is carefully cultivated, and she has been hidden by the owner for so many years, and she is easily unwilling to make a move.

After hearing these words, Li Mi finally understood the subtext of raising horses.

Men, it's nothing more than greed for money and lust, most of the powerful people in the officialdom are not bad for money, they only need to hook their little fingers, and someone obediently rushes to send the silver.

And lust is different, there are so many beautiful women in the world, most of them have long been famous, if you happen to meet a poor and weak beauty, a lot of money to find someone to give away, the result is plain hand grinding, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not all understandable, isn't it a slap in the face?

So there was a group of horse breeders, specially selected beautiful women, and trained them into talented women who were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some were good at chanting poetry, some were proficient in painting, some were amazing in dancing, and some were superb in chess.

Even in order to cater to some lustful officials, horse breeders will specially train virgins who are proficient in bed and hand, which can be described as deliberate.

Li Mi smiled bitterly, raising horses, not only in ancient times, even in modern times, has not been banned.

Thinking of this, Li Mi said with relief: "Don't worry, soon this place will be seized by the imperial court, and you will be free immediately." ”

Xue Juan shook her head, her face was sad, and she wanted to cry: "I'm afraid I can't wait for that time." ”

"Why?"

"Two days ago, the owner sent me a letter and was scheduled to send me away today. It's about to be the day when the new emperor chooses a concubine, and the owner plans to arrange a noble status for me to enter the palace to participate in the draft, I'm afraid that as soon as the morning dawns, I will be taken away. ”

"Enter the palace...... Draft...... To be a concubine? Li Mi froze in place like an electric shock.

Xue Juan smiled bitterly: "As far as I know, the new emperor is just a child who has just passed the age of the general horn, and his love has not yet opened, and he will not be favored by the little emperor at all if he enters the palace to participate in the draft at my age." When he grows up and understands the love of men and women, I should be old and yellow, which round of the noble concubine is such a prestigious position. ”

This is the truth, in the memory left by Li Zhutou, after the death of the first emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Song Kexin, the eighth son of the emperor who was only 13 years old, became the new emperor, and was listened to by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and returned to power after the new emperor and the crown ceremony.

At such a young age, a fart and a big child began to choose show girls to be included in the harem, or is it still such a beautiful woman that I see pity, it's just a tyrannical thing!

O evil feudal society! Li Mi was envious and jealous.

He pondered for a while and asked, "Then do you want to enter the palace?" ”

Xue Juan shook his head decisively.

"I'll take you out of here now, do you dare?"

Xue Xuan's eyes widened slightly, and after realizing that Li Mi was not joking, she replied: "This place is surrounded by mountains, and there are people guarding it, so it's not so easy to escape!" ”

Li Mi sighed, "You've lived here for so long, you must know some way out, right?" You lead the way, I cover you to go, if something happens, you hide, I go out and stand up. You hide until the officers and soldiers arrive, and then you will be safe. ”

Xue Juan kept shaking his head, "No, those people outside are all extremely vicious, and they will kill you if they are caught!" ”

Li Mi didn't know the danger of doing this, but the current situation was critical, so he could only make this decision.

When I think of such a beautiful beauty in front of me going to enter the palace to serve the little emperor, and stay in the deep palace until everyone is old and yellow, no one cares, any man will burst out with this kind of heroic passion for saving beauty, right?

"Don't worry, you'll be fine with me, let's be careful."

Hearing Li Mi's words, Xue Juan's heart warmed, this was the first time since he was a child that someone cared so much about himself.

This is also the first man who can face his own undisturbed arms, even if he occasionally comes to visit his owner, and several times even wants to push the beauty in front of him down on the bed and kiss Fang Ze, and since then he has it for himself.

And Li Mi is different, at this moment, he only has perseverance and fearlessness in his eyes.

After a stick of incense, Xue Juan, who had packed his bags, followed Li Mi out of the door.

The heavy rain in the mountains was still falling unscrupulously, and the crazy rain covered the whereabouts of the two, and under Li Mi's rich anti-reconnaissance awareness, the two of them had no danger to avoid several waves of patrols and fled to a mountain trail.

According to Xue Xuan, this trail should be the passage that Wang Dachun and his family secretly dug out, and they can leave the mountain directly from here, without passing through Quliu Village in front.

After walking for a while, he still didn't see Shen Luo come to rendezvous, although Li Mi was worried, but there was something more important at the moment, he wanted to leave the thief's den with the poor woman behind him.

Li Mi led the way in front, and Xue Juan followed behind, both of them walked quietly, preferring to be slow rather than make a little noise.

Coming to the depths of the trail without danger all the way, Li Mi took one last look at the mountain villa behind him, this place of 'horse breeding' in the deep mountains stood quietly in the night, looking silent and dangerous.

The two of them walked all the way out along the rugged mountain road, and when they came to a similar line of heaven and earth, Xue Juan pointed to a white house next to it, which was darkly lit, and it should be that the caretaker was sleeping.

The two of them walked over quietly, and when they came out of the first line of heaven was the boundless wasteland.

The two of them walked and stopped in the wasteland, and the wind in the wasteland at night was so cold that it cut their faces like knives, but they did not dare to stop and rest, because they did not know when bad luck would come after them.

In the villa, the young villagers who were on night patrol saw the door of the house blown open by the wind and went in to take a look.

In an instant, everyone was woken up, and the courtyard door of the village chief's house was kicked open, and only then did he know that something had happened.

Soon, all the young and middle-aged men in the village went into the mountains to find and arrest people.

Li Mi and Xue Juan didn't know anything about this, and they thought that at least the people in the village would not find out before dawn, and the time left for them was enough to stay away from Quliu Village and then escape.

It was almost dawn, and the east was already showing the white of the fish's belly, Li Mi and Xue Juan couldn't walk, so they sat down to rest for a while, and took two bites of the dry cakes in the baggage.

It was the darkest hour before dawn, and the sky above me showed no sign of whitening, and in the far distance, in the direction of the village, there was a deeper gray, like an overwhelming black fog, hiding unknown fears.

In the moment of darkness and early morning, the moon slanted to the west, the starlight was dim, but the morning glow was also delayed.

The darkness has not faded, and the light has not come.

The two of them sat back to back in the cold grass, watching the light light light on little by little under the dim vision.

The day finally dawned.

Li Mi pulled up Xue Juan, who had leg cramps, gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward.

On the horizon, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling was heard, and someone was coming from a distance.

Xue Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "I finally saw someone!" ”

Li Mi's eyelids jumped, and he picked up Xue Juan and ran.

He clearly saw that the eyes of the man on horseback were none other than the village chief.

On the long ridge of the wasteland, two people ran in front of them in fear with their burdens on their backs, and Wang Dachun led the young man to follow closely behind him, pulling up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

It's like when a pack of wolves hunts, slipping sheep to exhaustion and powerlessness to resist, and then better enjoying the spoils.

Subsequently, Li Mi didn't know who had a stick on his head, and when he woke up in a daze, his eyes were covered with black cloth, and his hands and feet were also tied.

He was startled, completely conscious, and tried to struggle, but he felt the room light up and someone ripped off his blindfold.

He saw that Xue Juan was also tied to the bed, Wang Dachun was standing beside the bed, looking at him with a calm gaze, and there were two villagers standing next to him with sticks in their hands.

Wang Dachun looked at him coldly and said: "Brother, you went into the mountains to find people, our village took care of you and your food, and we didn't treat you badly, why do you want to hurt people so much?" ”

Li Mi raised his head and met the other party's aggressive gaze, without fear: "It's you who hurt people!" Brute! ”

The village chief smiled, walked to the door, opened the door, and the dazzling sunlight shone in instantly.

There were more young adults standing outside the house, almost all of them young villagers who had been wooed by Wang Dachun.

When Li Mi looked at them, these people were also looking at him fiercely, as if they had unforgettable hatred.

The village chief said: "Brother, I know that you have figured out a lot of things in the past two days in the village. The person who eavesdropped on the mountain the night before yesterday was also you, right? ”

Li Mi didn't talk.

The village chief said: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, in this mountain, only you, an outsider, dare to go to the back mountain to eavesdrop." What you heard, what you know, I don't intend to know. ”

Li Mi looked up at him.

The village chief smiled: "However, it is not right for you to go up the back mountain, just like it is not right for Xue Juan to escape." This place is orderly, and if you make a mistake, you have to be punished, you say, right? ”

The village chief looked back at the supporters.

A young man was the first to scold: "Clean them up fiercely, almost ruined our good life!" ”

Another young man said: "Finally, I don't have to work in the fields, and I have found such an easy errand, this stinky boy dares to come and mess around." ”

"What a villain!"

"Phew!"

The yard was full of scolding.

Li Mi is a wicked person who almost ruined the good life of the whole village.
