Chapter 55: Bandits?
Although there is a horse market in the city, most of the horses sold in the horse market are bought to pull carts for work, and they are not suitable for long-term raids.
War horses in the army are different.
Zhou Ran heard Chu Yi ask, and turned sideways to let her look at the defenders behind him: "If there is a general, how can he not come on horseback?" ”
He was afraid that Chu Yi would not believe it, and said: "The nobles may not know, there are many waterways in Nanfu, there are no standing cavalry, naturally there are no war horses, and the nobles have the money to buy ordinary horses in the horse market, but even if they search the entire Luzhou City, the quality of the horses obtained is similar to that prepared for you by the Gu family's shopkeeper." ”
Zhou Ran, as the captain of a city, did not ride a horse.
Chu Yi raised her eyebrows, it seemed that the situation in Nanfu was basically the same as she imagined.
April asked, "I, I heard that when Lord Taiwei was here, there were cavalry in Nanfu. ”
Zhou Ran's expression was gloomy: "That was many years ago, Nanfu and Beifu are different, Beifu is close to Barbarian Rong and Huifu, and there is also the famous Dingyuan cavalry of Beifu in the past, but Nanfu, even if there is a cavalry system in the army, there is no good war horse." ”
Without war horses, how can you form cavalry, Chu Yi thought thoughtfully.
After a rest, everyone said goodbye to Shopkeeper Sun and hit the road again.
Chu Yi said: "I hope that Captain Zhou will not tell anyone that he has seen us today." ”
Zhou Ran clenched his fists: "The last general understands." ”
He looked at the group of people on the horse, his eyes showed a little envy, and sighed:
"Nobleman, in fact, as a man, who doesn't want to be like Su Jingyuan, the general of Zhenbei, like Captain Rong in the past, riding horses and leading the troops, and making meritorious contributions, but we are in Luzhou, and there is indeed a shortage of horses."
Chu Yi rode on the horse and looked at the man in front of him condescendingly.
She didn't know what choice Zhou Ran made five years later, when the Yongguo Xuanjia rode across this land, but at least for now, he was still an ambitious general.
"If the palace sends a war horse to you, can you return a big Yan iron horse to the palace?"
She asked word by word.
When Zhou Ran heard the title of "Bengong", his eyes widened.
In this huge world, there are very few people who can call themselves the palace, but they are not the fifth prince Chu Yao.
And at such an age, the young man in front of him can't be the prince of the East Palace or the eldest princess of Nanyang, then she is......
Princess Yongning!
Chu Yi's red lips raised slightly, and without waiting for him to answer, he had already taken the lead and headed into the distance.
Zhou Ran looked at the princess's back, suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted with all his strength: "The last general, you can!" ”
Chu Yi heard the resolute shout behind him and smiled.
"Your Highness wants to send war horses for them? However, the various factions in the Nanfu army are mixed, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to insert our people, and the war horses are not only expensive, but there is no place to sell them. Pillow Xue said.
Chu Yi's five fingers were slightly held and covered by his lips, and his voice was a little sad:
"The Nanfu army fights in thin clothes in winter, and there are no weapons, and this palace is heartbroken when it sees it! The border army let Zhao Chen Xiaoguo ridicule, and the palace is sad! The Yongguo Xuanjia Iron Horse is so powerful, this palace is panicked when it sees it! Presumably, the father and uncle will understand, as well as the queen mother. ”
Pillow Snow: "......"
Yulin Army next to them: They seem to know how the recent steady stream of silver rewards and brand-new armor and ordnance in the army came from.
After a few more days, after changing horses in Yinzhou, Chu Yi hesitated for a moment and decided to find Lu Fengmian again when he came back.
Finally, they approached the border of Yan and went to an inn on the side of the road to rest.
When the shopkeeper and Xiao Er saw Chu Yi, their eyes lit up, and they respectfully welcomed the group in.
There are so many people, a noble son is accompanied by two girls, presumably the son and brother who go out of the city to have fun, and any reward can make them make a fortune in the inn.
The shopkeeper took Xiao Er with him and personally led their horses to the backyard to feed.
In the lobby, Chu Yi sat down with a grin, threw a peanut into his mouth, and laughed: "Everyone, change your clothes." ”
After getting along for more than ten days, the Yulin Army, who had despised the princess in their hearts before, now only has admiration and respect in their hearts.
Her Royal Highness the princess has a daughter's body, but she has never shouted that she is tired after such a long journey, treats them equally, and rewards them every day - where to find such a master.
Pillow Xue looked at Chu Yi, who was dressed as a man and ate peanuts, and said, "Your Highness, you should be more restrained, otherwise you will be too much like a gentleman, where will your reputation go." ”
Chu Yi: "You're right, this palace is now Chu Xiaowu, then this palace will make persistent efforts and be more cunning." ”
Pillow Snow: "......"
After a while, except for Chu Yi's pillow snow, there was no change, and the others changed into the prepared bandit costumes.
Chu Yi smiled with satisfaction: "Now, we are the Zhao Di bandits. ”
She wandered her gaze over everyone, walked up to April, who was dressed in a blue-gray kudzu robe, and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"April, you don't look like a bandit."
April's resolute face turned red all of a sudden, and he involuntarily lowered his head, and bent down, not daring to look at the princess: "Belong, my subordinates understand." ”
Just now, the innkeeper and Xiao Er, who had finished feeding the horses, returned to the lobby.
Just majestic, like a group of nobles......
Turned into a vicious bandit!
"Dirt, bandits!"
The shopkeeper screamed, pulled Xiao Er and ran to the door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chu Yi: "......"
She tried to explain it to the shopkeeper in the back, but she didn't know how to explain it, and the shopkeeper ran faster.
Before she could speak, the shopkeeper stumbled back again, his face even more frightened: "Woo woo, bandits." ”
Chu Yi: "We are." ”
The shopkeeper pointed to the door: "It's the same outside." ”
At the door of the inn, a young man in black armor and holding a long knife walked step by step.
The young man was tall, with a scruffy beard, extraordinarily thick eyebrows, and a scarlet hairband tied up all over his head, and his facial features could be vaguely distinguished, and he was quite heroic.
Behind him was a group of ..... dressed in the same outfit as April and the others Bandits?
Chu Yi looked at the person who came, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
What a ...... It's been a long time since I've seen these two fools.
"I'm the second master of Qingfeng Village, who are you!" The young man's voice was like a bell, and it shook Chu Yi's ears a little.
He walked in front of April against the light, like a small mountain, and it was very overwhelming.
In the inn, April happened to be sitting in the middle of the room, and he was born cold and neatly dressed, and the young man obviously regarded him as the head of their group.
April pressed his sword and stood up, and the other Yulin soldiers suddenly stood up, staring at him vigilantly one by one, faintly protecting Chu Yi behind him.
Drinking Bing didn't say a word, and stood in front of Chu Yi, the soft sword was unsheathed, and the lake-blue eyes were cold and sharp.
Chu Yi pulled away from the crowd: "Your own people, don't be impulsive." ”
The knife raised by the young man shook a little, because he was born too tall, he had to bow his head and look at Chu Yi condescendingly.
"You are?"
The sun was dazzling, the young man narrowed his eyes, pulled away a few strands of broken hair that blocked his vision, and asked angrily.
Chu Yi smiled: "Geng Chuan, the second master of Qingfeng Village, I am the big master of Mingyue Pavilion next door." ”
The young man finally saw the princess's face clearly.
"Puff, puff—"
Oops, she's so pretty, his heart is beating so fast.
Wait, did he just report himself?

9. On a certain day, today is my first day as a guard of the Yan Kingdom.
......
Today is also a great day!
Princess Yongning gave me a horse named Xia Ying, and I decided to help her kill Xu Xiang. (Yan cub's note: "The afterglow is scattered into Qi, and Chengjiang is as quiet as practice.") ”)
10. The news was sent, and I hope Geng Chuan will be more reliable and not reveal his identity.
I dreamed of that little girl again, but unfortunately I couldn't find her, and I couldn't thank her.
11. I heard that Princess Yongning went out of the palace in the name of visiting the Empress Dowager Rong, I knew that she went to Nanfu, such a long way, and she was a little girl who said she would go, just to kill Xu Xiang.
It's terrible to offend a woman.
