After strolling around for a while, Fang Ling chose a southern horse that didn't look very inconspicuous, and then went to the hay stall on the side of the horse market and bought a lot of hay.

Different horses eat different forage, but the forage that Fang Ling bought is not the kind eaten by mountain horses, which is closer to that eaten by grassland horses.

As soon as Fang Ling threw the forage to the ground, the red horse immediately became excited, and ate it in a big gulp, changing his sick appearance just now.

Cao Yaode couldn't help but be surprised: "How can this mountain horse eat the forage of the grassland horse? Could it be that this is a grassland horse?"

Fang Ling laughed quietly: "This horse is a genuine mountain horse, however, it is a rather rare mountain wild horse in western China, with a very docile personality, and it is easy to be mistaken for an ordinary mountain horse or a tamed mountain horse." It grows in a grassland bordering the grassland, so it is used to eating the forage of the grassland horse, and because it grows in the two environments of the mountains and the grassland, the speed and endurance of this horse are quite good, and the reason why it looks sick is because it is not used to eating the forage of the mountain horse. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, Fang Ling stroked the red horse's neck and said with a smile: "Although it looks sick, but after a few days of good care and recovery of strength, there should be no horse in this horse market that can compete with it." ”

"Really?" Cao Yaode suddenly became excited, pointing to another southern horse, "What about this one?"

Fang Ling said with a smile: "This is a hybrid of the southern horse and the northern horse, its eyes are big and strong, its eyes are like hanging bells, and its tongue is like a sword, the breed can be called superior, and it has inherited the bloodline of the two factions of its parents very well, and its appearance is not under this mountain horse." ”

Cao Yaode said happily: "Both horses are so powerful, plus the northern horse at home, this competition can finally raise eyebrows." ”

Cao Xiande rubbed his hands and smiled: "Fang Gongzi is so sure, I can't help but try these two horses now." ”

After everyone returned to the mansion, according to the way Fang Ling said, the groom took good care of the three participating horses, and in the evening, Lu Bei also went out of the door, and when he came back, he brought back the information obtained by Meng Zhiyuan and others.

The information found is similar to what Fang Ling expected, the guards of the county government are quite strict, anyone who enters and exits must go through strict inspection and interrogation, it is more difficult to get in than to ascend to the sky, and according to reliable information, there are more than 300 soldiers in the mansion alone, in addition, there are many masters, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the mansion, not to mention people, even flies are difficult to fly into.

In this way, Fang Ling completely dispelled the idea of sneaking into the county government, and simply put all his thoughts on the horse race, if he could get Jiang Wenshan's appreciation at the horse race, then he would have the opportunity to hear the news, and Jiang Wenshan would also go to the Yizhou royal capital with the winner of the county competition, so he could contact the king of Yizhou by chance.

After a few days of conditioning, the body of the red horse not only improved rapidly, but also lived up to expectations and showed amazing ability, even the wild northern horse is not its opponent in the race, and this horse basically does not need to be tamed, gentle and well-behaved, it is simply a rare good horse, even if it is five hundred taels of silver, there are a lot of people who want to buy.
