The imperial capital of Nanjin has a nice name: Roucheng.

It is rumored that Emperor Nanjin named a city after Rou because of a woman he loved.

Love but can't, never forget.

Lian Yu led nearly thirty horses into the city gate, causing quite a stir.

First of all, she is a little girl who is only a little taller than a horse's legs. Secondly, horses are such a scarce and valuable thing, she actually has a herd?!

Lian Gardenia is equivalent to the face of an upstart, swaggering through the market with valuables, can it not be coveted?

What's more, she looks weak and deceitful.

In a stall near the city gates, animal skins are arranged. The stall owner shook a piece of cowhide and shouted, "Beast skin! Newly beaten hides! ”

As soon as I looked up, I saw a little girl standing in front of her stall. Behind the little girl, the black pressure followed by a tall horse.

Horses have gray manes, black manes, and orange-red manes.

When the stall owner stared at his two mung bean eyes and looked at the horses, Lian Yu spoke.

"Boss, do you take the horses?"

When the stall owner of the stall next door with a feather duster in his hand heard this, he immediately came over with a laugh and said to the fur boss: "Hahaha! Old Jiang, when did you start the business of buying and selling horses! ”

The owner of the mung bean eyelid fur stall trembled, and the cowhide fell to the ground, stirring up a puff of dust under his feet. "Fuck you! Don't talk nonsense! Buying and selling horses, I don't want it anymore?! He turned his head and waved his hand eagerly to drive Lian Yu away.

"Where did you come from, get away, don't come to entertain me!"

After speaking, he picked up the cowhide on the ground, and there was another tremor.

Lian Yu choked on the dust and had to take a few steps back and turn his gaze to other stalls.

She still didn't believe it, horses were so scarce and valuable, no one had the courage to risk buying them?

After asking a few stalls in a row, everyone avoided them.

I deeply feel that this little girl who has just entered the city is afraid that there is something wrong with her brain. How can anyone sell horses on the street in broad daylight?!

The largest restaurant in Roucheng, the third floor of Yanyu Building, one person has his arm on the window.

"Say, where did she get these sturdy horses?"

The man standing at the window shaking a fan chuckled: "Dongming, don't you have bad eyes and can't see the brand on the horse's buttocks." ”

When the fan is shaken, you can find that the fan bone is silvery-white, and the fan material is not bamboo, but metal.

Dongming withdrew his arm that was on the window and snorted coldly: "Hmph, the horse of the Imperial City Arrest Division deserves to be sold." Let's go, let's go buy the horses back, and go to the night smoke in the face. ”

Nangong Zixi closed the fan with a slam and blocked Dongming's way. "That person in the night smoke holds the most grudges, why do you want to provoke him?"

Dongming pressed Nangong Zixi's arm down and raised his chin: "What's the matter, I'm a dignified young master of Nanjin, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?!" If I don't mess with him, he won't join me at the court? With that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the private room.

The two gray-clothed attendants at the door of the private room bent down and followed closely.

Nangong Zixi shook his head, his slender eyes moved, and his face was full of interest. He didn't go out with Dongming, but turned around and sat in Dongming's position just now.

Looking down, I saw that the little lady downstairs had bolted the reins of the leading horse to the stump at the mouth of the alley. She also sat on the stones at the mouth of the alley where the old men who chatted on weekdays sat on them, and shrugged her little shoulders.

At this time, Dongming, who was downstairs, had already walked over, thinking that the little girl was crying.

"Little girl, don't be sad, I bought all these horses."

As soon as Dongming's voice fell, the little girl with her head down raised her face, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her expression of joy, where did she seem to be crying? !

Lian Yi asked uncertainly: "What you said, but it's true?!" No repentance! ”

As he spoke, he stood up, untied the reins from the stump and handed it to Dongming. "No, here you go, twenty-eight horses in all. It's cheaper for you, well~ give me 10,000 copper coins. ”

Lian Yi's offer directly stunned Dongming, and even the two entourages behind Dongming burst out laughing.

500 copper coins can be exchanged for 1 silver coin, and 500 silver coins can be exchanged for 1 gold coin.

The normal price of a horse is around the price of a gold coin, and a horse in good condition can be sold for ten gold coins.

The string of horses led by even Gardenia were in good condition, twenty-eight horses, and at least worth about one hundred and fifty gold coins.

And now, she actually said that she would sell it for 10,000 copper coins!!

The corners of Nangong Zixi's mouth at the window of the restaurant were curved, as if he had figured out what joints, and he suddenly lost interest. "I see~"

Dongming looked at the reins in his hand, a little stunned. He is not short of money, and he doesn't want to bully this little girl who doesn't seem to know how to do it.

"What? How much do I want? Then I can ask for less..."Lian Yu continued with his fingers: "I actually want to exchange these horses for some money for food, clothing, and accommodation. ”

Dongming really couldn't listen anymore: "Little girl, where did you get these horses from?" Don't even know the value of horses?! These are enough to make you a rich man in Jojo. ”

Where did you get the horses, that's the answer that the whole street wants to know.

Even Nangong Zixi, who had lost interest and was holding a cake to eat, pricked up his ears.

Lian Yu rubbed the crumpled skirt on her legs with a little crampedness. "I~ picked it up at the gate of a post station outside the city."

Outside the city?!

Post?!

Picked up?!

Dongming's throat was stalked. I really want to ask Lian Yu, are you sure that the horse at the gate of the post station is not tied there by someone who is resting?

Also, among these, there are a lot of horses from the Imperial City.

This little girl, is she still alive?!

Without waiting for Dongming to ask, Lian Yu himself continued. "There were fights in the inn, and the horses were scared away, but I calmed them down?"

"The sword and sword shadows in the post station, the flesh and blood are blurred, and it is estimated that they will not survive. I can't just watch these horses starve to death and think about finding a good home for them to sell. ”

Dongming grinned awkwardly.

He had never heard that horses could starve to death in the wild.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

"I know, I want all these horses. I will not deceive you, but I will count you a hundred and fifty gold coins. Dongming beckoned, and the entourage took out his purse and counted fifty gold coins and a gold ingot and handed it over.

Lian Yu took it with both hands with a smile, looked at the scythe-shaped gold coin and smacked his lips. He picked up the gold ingot again and bit a tooth mark.

She can be regarded as a person who has seen money, and the first time she saw it was gold.

So, she showed what it means to be ruthless.

"Thanks, no more." Lian Yu put the gold in the inner pocket of his heart, waved his hand at Dongming, and jumped into the alley.

Dongming looked at the little back, then looked down at the reins, and always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, the entourage poked Dongming's arm and reminded: "Master, the one who just entered the city, can you see if it is Lord Wu Ya of the Imperial City?" ”

Dongming looked up and saw that it was really.

I saw Wu Ya, who was high-spirited and murderous on weekdays, and was full of embarrassment at this time.

His hair was messy and his face was covered in blood. He staggered as if he had been wounded.

"Hurry, hurry, go. Grab your horse and hide in the alley, quick! Dongming said, and he dodged into the alley first.

The alleys of Roucheng extend in all directions, and at the mouth of the bluestone slab alley where Dongming drilled into the alley, which is separated by three places, a small head pokes out.

Lian Yu looked Wu Ya up and down. "Tsk, it looks a little miserable......"
