With a warm smile on his face, Duan Yichang boarded the carriage, and after watching the carriage go in the direction of the State Guest House, he stretched out his hand to put down the curtain of the carriage and slowly withdrew his smile.

His heart is a little depressed, and a little helpless, he Duan Yichang has never asked for anyone, he didn't ask for it in the past, he doesn't ask for it now, and he won't ask for it in the future!

However, before coming to the Song Kingdom, someone asked him to ask the King of Qi of the Song Kingdom to read the words, what do you think? Of course you can't ask for it!

He made a little trick, and the king of Qi took the bait, followed his intention step by step, and finally offered to read the words.

Duan Yichang let out a long breath, but this matter is not over, looking at the words is a trivial matter, and it is convenient to use a little calculation.

But then there is one more thing, which can't be asked, but it is several times more difficult than reading the words, it seems that we still have to find a way to let this King of Qi take the initiative to do it.

Duan Yichang thought of this, his sword eyebrows tightened, his eyes were slightly stunned for a while, and he suddenly snorted coldly, this King of Qi made him so embarrassed, how could he give up?

If it weren't for what the king of Qi wrote, how could someone ask him to ask for words? What more could you ask for? This is too difficult for him, blame this King Qi for being hateful!

But no matter what, he Duan Yichang will not ask for help!

Zhao Ta watched Duan Yichang leave with a smile, his eyes fell back to the tea table, and the peach-colored Xue Taojian was quietly placed there, abandoned by its owner.

Zhao Ta picked up Xue Tao's note and read the Yulin bell again, it was really well written, and it was normal to have a slight fat powder, because this was written by a woman at all!

I don't know if this woman is Duan Yichang's friend or confidant......

Zhao Ta sat on the chair and took a sip of tea, closed his eyes for a while, and was just about to stand up and leave, when suddenly Lei San came in and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Dai Zong sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

Zhao Tan opened his eyes abruptly and said, "Take it to the study." ”

A moment later, Zhao Ta was sitting in the study, there was a person kneeling on the ground in front of him, and Lei San sent a wax pill.

Zhao Ta took the wax pill and asked the man, "What's your name?" ”

The man didn't dare to raise his head, and replied: "Lord Wang, the little one is called Wang Manyin." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Where did it come from?" ”

Wang Manyin said: "Lord Wang, the little one was originally the head of the Jiangzhou cell, and he went to Liangshan with Dean Dai a while ago, and this time he came from the bandit's den. ”

Zhao Ta nodded, opened the wax pill and took out the letter to read.

The letter is very long, but Zhao Ta looked at it, his eyes suddenly froze, Dai Zong reported the current ranking of Liangshan in the letter, the first is Chao Gai, the second is Song Jiang, and the third is ...... Lin?

Zhao Ta thought for a while, continued to read it expressionlessly, and after reading it all, he handed the letter to Lei San to destroy, and then said to Wang Manyin: "Pass my message to Dai Zong, don't do evil, don't show traces, Liangshan is a great achievement!" ”

Wang Manyin hurriedly kowtowed: "The little one remembers." ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him, and said: "Dai Zong is doing things for this king, since you can go with Dai Zong, you will also be a loyal person, and the time will come...... Credit to you, too. ”

Wang Manyin was immediately overjoyed, he had never thought that there would be such an opportunity in his life, although he was a cell leader better than a jailer like Li Kui, but in the final analysis, he was the lowest person in the official mansion, not even an official.

He and Dai Zong have known each other for a long time, and this time he went to Liangshan, in fact, he was forced, if he didn't go, he would definitely be punished, after all, with his relationship with Dai Zong, it was difficult not to be implicated.

But who knew that this time it was a turn of the peak, I didn't expect Dean Dai to have such a big backing background, as long as he acted carefully in the future and kept his life on Liangshan, it would be just around the corner.

After asking Lei San to go to the account room and pay the money to this Wang Manyin, and then take him away, Zhao Ta sat on the chair and thought for a while......

The next day, Duan Yichang came again, but this was the first day before leaving, taking advantage of the spring flowers, to go to the suburbs to run horses.

Originally, Zhao Ta didn't have much interest in this Dali mission, and he didn't even want to have a banquet, but yesterday he suddenly remembered something, which was extremely important, so he agreed to Duan Yi's invitation to go on a horse outing.

Since it is an outing, there are more than two people, but they have brought a lot of relatives and subordinates, and there are a lot of things and belongings, and they want to have a picnic in the suburbs.

Duan Yichang came to the palace, the horses and carts were parked outside the palace gate, he went in and saw Zhao Tali and said: "Prince, Yi Chang prepared a good horse for the prince, and asked the prince to take a look." ”

"Dali is a good horse?" Zhao Ta looked at Duan Yichang with a sincere expression on his face and said, "How is it a good method?" ”

Duan Yichang smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, my Dali Ma Shenjun is durable, strong and simple, and naturally it is good." ”

Dali has to sell at least five or six thousand horses to the Great Song Dynasty every year, although it sounds like a small number, but for Dali, it is a lot of income, but these horses are not used as war horses, even if the army will use a part, they are also used as horses to transport grain and grass.

Dali has always wanted to sell horses to the Great Song Army as war horses, but Da Song is not stupid, Dali horse endurance is indeed enough, but the horse height and speed are not up to the standard of war horses, so they have been ignoring this stubble.

Zhao Ta looked at Duan Yichang and said with a smile: "It's true that it is easy to run, but this divine horse is ......."

Duan Yichang was not annoyed, and said: "The prince doesn't know, my Dali has bred a new horse breed in the past two years, called Caiyun Horse, which is not inferior to the Fan Ma Xixia horse." ”

Zhao Ta had never heard of this name, and said with some doubts: "Not inferior to Fan Ma and Xixia Ma?" ”

Duan Yichang said with a smile: "The prince will know it when he sees it, and he might as well compare it with the horse in the house, this horse is a gift from Yi Chang to the prince." ”

"The king is a little interested." Zhao Ta nodded, wanting to see what this Caiyun Ju looked like, if it was really as Duan Yichang said, he would have to think about this matter carefully.

Longyou has opened three horse farms, although the horses have been raised, but the number and scale are far from meeting the demand, you must know that the annual production of good horses in Western Xia can reach seventy or eighty thousand, Qingtang horses, Dawan horses, Mengma have, are war horse breeds.

But Longyou's current three horse farms are only one or two thousand horses per year, although because of financial limitations, can not be compared with the whole country of Western Xia, but this is too much worse than Zhao Ta wants, Longyou can raise horses, but he really doesn't have so much money, after all, he has other things to deploy in Longyou, and he needs a large amount of silver to smash down.

If Dali can really breed a breed close to the summer horse, it might as well fight Dali's idea.

Zhao Ta said: "Since Prince Duan is so sure, then you might as well let this king take a look at this colorful cloud horse." ”

When the two of them left the house, Zhao Ta saw two carriages parked outside, and more than a dozen Dali people brought by Duan Yichang accompanied them.

It is an ordinary Dali horse that pulls the cart, but there are two horses in the front, one green and one red, tall and tall, although it is not as good as the Qingtang horse, but it is not far behind, in addition to the height, other characteristics are similar to the Dali horse.

Zhao Tan squinted his eyes slightly, this should be a new breed bred by Dali horses and I don't know what kind of horse, although it looks tall, but the speed and agility are unknown.

Duan Yichang saw Zhao Ta's doubts, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this Caiyun Horse is my national treasure at the moment, and its speed and strength are not inferior to that of Fan Ma Xia Ma, and its endurance is better." ”

Zhao Tan nodded.

Duan Yichang said again: "Especially the green horse that the prince saw is the best one among the Caiyun horses that have been cultivated at the moment, called Qingfeng, who travels 1,000 a day and 800 at night, but it is a real BMW." ”

Duan Yichang's heart is dripping blood at this moment, Caiyunju was cultivated by him, he has had this idea since he was a child, Dali Maduo, can give him countless opportunities to try, and finally succeeded over the years.

Although there is still some distance compared with the real Fan and Xia horses, it can indeed be used as a war horse, unlike in the past, when it could only pull carts and camels to carry goods.

There are only a few of them at the moment, and it is only a matter of time before they are bred, and in time he is confident that he will grow this new breed.

The green blade in front of him is the best horse among all the colorful cloud horses, this was originally his mount, but now he wants to give it away!

Duan Yichang's heart was dripping blood, he didn't even give this horse to the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, but now he wants to give it to the King of Qi!

He Duan Yichang didn't ask for anyone in his life, and for that matter, he came up with a plan to take advantage of the opportunity of the horse outing to give this Qingfeng horse to the King of Qi.

Such a good horse is comparable to a BMW, and the king of Qi can't be harvested in vain, right?

Didn't you Song always say that your family was the upper state of the Heavenly Empire, and your bearing was grand? You King Qi should be polite when he accepts the horse, and ask me what I want to order, right?

Then I'll bring up that matter, it's not me Duan Yichang who asked you, it was you who took the initiative to ask me!

Zhao Ta looked at the Qingfeng in front of him, looking at the shelf coat color horse type, it was indeed eye-catching, but this was a new breed, he had never ridden it, and he didn't understand the characteristics of this Caiyun horse, so it was not good to evaluate anything.

It's just that he saw Duan Yichang's really painful look, and then looked at the ordinary Dali horses behind him, and suddenly shook his head and said, "Prince Duan, this king doesn't understand horses." ”

What don't you understand about horses? Duan Yichang was shocked in his heart when he heard this, he wouldn't be a pearl secretly casting, playing the piano to the cow, right? It seems that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty doesn't understand the horse This kind of thing can't be said to be reasonable, especially if you are the king of Qi in charge of the soldiers, how can you not understand the horse?

Duan Yichang said with a smile: "The prince is too humble, the prince is talented and pedantic, how can he not understand horses." ”

He thought to himself at the moment, even if you don't understand horses, but this Qingfeng is extraordinary at a glance, you won't even be able to see this, right? Anyway, you're embarrassed to take it for nothing, right? As long as you accept it and speak politely, I will propose the matter, and after you are done, I will never come to your Qi Palace.

Zhao Ta looked at him and said: "This king really doesn't understand horses, he looks at any horse, he can run on four legs, it's almost the same." ”

Duan Yichang heard this, no matter how gloomy his temperament was, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and said, "It may be that there is no BMW like Qingfeng in the prince's mansion, so you think so, right?" ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and touched his chin: "This king doesn't know much about this, but there are a lot of horses in the house, maybe they are all ordinary horses as Prince Duan said, right?" ”

Duan Yichang bowed slightly and said with a smile: "The prince is too humble. ”

Zhao Ta glanced at the Qingfeng horse again: "Why does this king look almost the same, why don't I let someone pull out a horse, and Prince Duan will give him the palm of his hand?" ”

Duan Yichang looked at Zhao Ta with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, you only look at the four legs, it's not about the same, and no horse can grow a fifth leg.

He said: "Lord Wang, then Yi Chang is ugly?" ”

Zhao Ta nodded, then turned around and said, "Lei San, just take a horse out and show it to Prince Duan, to see if all the horses in the house are ordinary, how can this king look the same." ”

Lei San blinked: "It's the prince, then I'll take a horse casually." With that, he turned around and left.

Duan Yichang stretched out his hand to stroke the head of the Qingfeng horse, and said a little shyly: "Lord Wang, after comparing it for a while, you will know that this Qingfeng horse is definitely a rare BMW!" ”

Zhao Tayan's face was blank when he heard this, and his eyes only stared at Qingfeng Ma's legs.

Duan Yichang thought to himself, could it be that this King Qi is a scholar who can only write poems and lyrics? Listening to his words yesterday, it seems that martial arts are not good, and now it seems that he doesn't know anything about horses, and it is too ridiculous that those people in the country will also praise him to the sky, this kind of person can also manage the army.

After a while, Lei San led the horse out, but it was a white horse, the white horse's fur was as bright as oil, and there was a diamond-shaped bright red like blood sign at the door of the head, but it was a little red from thousands of snowflakes, which looked very eye-catching.

Zhao Ta was stunned, pointed at Lei San and said, "How can there be such an ugly horse in the mansion?" Why does this white horse still have red hair on its head, why has this king never seen it? ”

Although Bai Ma didn't know what Zhao Ta was talking about, but seeing him pointing fingers, it didn't seem like he was praising his own family, so he couldn't help but "smack" twice, cut off the horse's hooves, and wanted to go over to rub Zhao Ta.

Lei San tugged on the reins, how could he let him get close to him, this horse also recognized Lei San, but he didn't move.

Duan Yichang was just secretly paying attention to Zhao Ta's expression, but when he heard that there was a horse over there, Zhao Ta said why was it so ugly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look carefully.

At this glance, he trembled all over, and almost stared out his eyeballs, this is ...... What?

He knows horses very well, and he can breed a good horse like Caiyunju, and he has an understanding of the world's famous horses, but looking at the horse in front of him, except for a little diamond-shaped red at the door of his head, there is no half of the miscellaneous hair on his body, white and bright, this posture, this skeleton, this body leg proportion, isn't this a jade lion in the night!

No, no, if that little bit of red is born on the door of the head, it is not a jade lion in the night, this is ...... A thousand miles alone with a lamp!

This is a BMW that is almost as bloody as a sweaty horse!

BMW among famous horses! Ordinary famous horses and even eight horses can't compare to BMW!

Duan Yichang stayed there, only his mouth was panting, and his eyes didn't move, just staring at the white horse.

Zhao Ta said: "Prince Duan, look at this king's horse, it is not only ordinary but also extremely ugly, on weekdays, this king doesn't even want to look at it." ”

Duan Yichang didn't speak, his heart was trembling, and he felt a depressed breath, condensed in his chest, couldn't go up, couldn't come down, and was uncomfortable to death.

At this moment, he knew that he had lost all his demeanor, but he couldn't control it, he was really shocked.

Zhao Ta looked at him in a daze, and said: "There are a lot of such horses in the stables of King Ben, this one is ugly, I haven't paid much attention to it before, Prince Duan, tell the truth, how about this ugly horse?" ”

Duan Yichang almost vomited blood when he heard this, King Qi! Is this what you call an ordinary horse? Ugliest horses? It's like this in your porch? But even in the whole of Dali, it is difficult to find a horse that can be compared to a lamp that can walk alone for thousands of miles!

When Duan Yichang thought of this, his face couldn't help but turn pale, he took a step back, leaned on the Qingfeng horse, and his breathing became rapid for a while.
