Chapter 151: Horse Hunting
The time is so tight, it seems to be a plan that has been planned for a long time.
Xiuniang sighed softly and said: "I have a good relationship with Xia Sheng, he has been guarding the border all the year round, every time I meet, I just want to make some delicious food for him, and I have never asked more than half a sentence that should not be asked, but this time it ......"
This time, even she felt that it was inappropriate, but since Xia Sheng brought the words, of course she had to prepare, the room in the most secret position had been vacated, and it was all cleaned up, and even his favorite wine was moved under the bed, knowing that he had bad habits that he had developed in the barracks, and when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he felt out of the wine jar under the bed, drank and drank, unconscious.
Unexpectedly, only a day later, Shen Nianyi took her to Dali Temple, Xiuniang was worried, but she knew the relationship between Shen Nianyi and Ningxia Sheng, even if Shen Nianyi knew about it, she shouldn't be more troubled, but the person who led the way took her directly to the morgue.
The white cloth covering the corpse was lifted, and she couldn't see the corpse's face very clearly, in fact, what Shen Nianyi said beside her, she couldn't hear it clearly, only the buzzing roar, as if during the Chinese New Year, someone mischievously put a cannon in her ear, and the other sounds were suddenly filtered.
All Xiuniang can do is deny, deny seeing this man, deny knowing more, before she finished speaking, she had already run out of the morgue, leaning against the wall, and vomited, Miss Tang saw that she was pitiful, and hurriedly came over to appease her, pouring tea and rubbing medicine, she was silent, knowing this kind of scene, the less she said, the less she would show flaws.
Sure enough, Shen Nianyi believed her words and left in a hurry, not long after, someone sent her back the way she came, she had a high fever that night, and what she saw in her dream was the scene from many years ago, too many corpses, from the beginning of the frightening to the later insensitivity, she thought that she had locked up all these tragic pasts, but she didn't expect that such an easy start would push her into the precipice of no return.
Early the next morning, she reluctantly got up, asked Xiao Er to go out to find a familiar doctor, took a few strong medicines, and forced the high fever down, she didn't want to go out, didn't want to open the window, didn't want to see anyone, so locked herself up, and even, Xiuniang forgot what the person had left behind, saying that Ningxia Sheng would appear in five days.
She forgot everything, as if she was haunted by nightmares, and she was too eager to escape, so she chose this shortcut to protect herself.
It wasn't until Shen Nianyi knocked on the door again that Xiuniang was shocked to realize that she had been locked in the house for two days and two nights, and the whole person was haggard, sick and anxious, which made it worse.
Fortunately, Shen Nianyi is not a man who comes to see her scalp, in his eyes, every woman looks about the same, and all kinds of coming and going will not make him blink more than his eyelids, except for the woman he personally brought to the inn, she is still young, her tutor is very good, and her voice is not loud, but she is crisp and lovely, when she looks at him, her eyes are full of admiration, but she tries her best to hide it, but she has a kind of little daughter's coquettishness.
If you want to talk about character and appearance, even Xiuniang has to admit that Shen Nianyi is a few points better than the young woman, but the appearance of the two people standing side by side is extremely harmonious and comfortable, so that onlookers can't take their eyes off, it should be the so-called fateful person.
"I didn't want to hide this, I saw that dead body, everything was messed up, and there was no way to control my emotions." Xiuniang wanted to explain for herself, "As for how that person died, he was unwilling to let me do it, he settled in the inn that night, but the next morning, before dawn, he left, and the money was left on the cabinet." ”
"He rode away?"
"I deliberately cleaned his mount for him, I took a look, it was a good horse, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take on the heavy responsibility of sending people back thousands of miles away."
"When he came to Dali Temple, he didn't ride a horse, or no one saw him riding a horse." Yu Ze was in charge of the reception, and from beginning to end, he said that this person came alone, lightly, and he seemed to be unable to see the light.
Xiuniang was a little stunned and said: "That good horse should be used in the army, the market price is not low, where will it go?" ”
"Do you remember the color of the horses?"
"Yellow husball, with a bit of brown in its mane, is very recognizable."
Shen Nianyi understood that he might be quite ordinary in the army, but in Tiandu City, he was a rare good horse, and it was easier to find such a horse than to find a person.
Without further ado, he must immediately check this clue, before this person went to Dali Temple, where had he been, who had he seen, he left when the sky was bright, and when he saw this person in Yu Ze, there was an interval of five or six hours, and there were too many things that could be done in five or six hours.
"Shen Shaoqing, everything I know has been told, if Xia Sheng, I mean, if Xia Sheng really returns to Tiandu, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong, please take care of Shen Shaoqing and don't make a noise." Xiuniang said in a low voice, "It's always inappropriate for his identity to do such things. ”
"If he comes back, there must be a very important reason, don't worry, I won't interfere more, if I need help, I will do my best." Shen Nianyi appreciates Xiuniang's feeling that she still stands up at this time and wants to make a modest contribution for the person she likes, not all women are willing to pay like this.
When he walked out of the inn, he was still thinking that Shining would definitely do this, and even do more and better, and this kind of mind turned, even though there were less than twelve hours left, he had a kind of confidence slowly.
In Tiandu City, there are not many shops selling horses, for some reason, Shen Nianyi has a hunch that the yellow horse has not gone far, it is still in the city, and it will definitely be found.
Shen Nian didn't go to the biggest shop, the shop was too big, there were inevitably some rules for doing business, and he was not afraid that he wouldn't be able to make money, so the horses of unknown origin would not stay, so he took another shortcut, the speed under his feet was not slow, and soon he saw the signboard in the distance when he looked up, and the lingering smell of livestock in the wind.
"Is this son here for Soma?" Someone saw that he was dressed decently and had a temperament like an orchid, and he was already knowledgeable and greeted him.
Shen Nianyi didn't pay attention, and went straight inside, at a glance, he was a rich man who had seen pomp and circumstance, and the man was not only not angry, but followed more closely: "Childe has a good eye, we have a good horse here, and we can definitely satisfy Childe." ”
He paused slightly, and said, "I only want a horse with good feet, regardless of the price." ”
"Good foot, yes, yes, Childe, here is good foot." The man said with a smile on his face, "I wonder if Childe has any special needs for the color of horses?" ”
"Black and white." Shen Nianyi replied coldly, his face sank, and he became more and more cold.
"Yes, yes, in addition to black and white, there are still a lot of choices, does Childe want to ride by himself?"
"Yes, if you want to go out of the city, you have a good foot, and it's fun to run, do you understand?" Shen Nianyi's eyes are above the top, and he is a rich man.
"Understand, understand, I don't want to go out of the city alone, and I can't be willing to be reconciled between friends, of course, I have to choose a good horse." The man whispered a few words to the oncoming groom, "Childe also knows that Soma is still about fate, all I can do is to pick out the good horses, and as for which one Childe likes, I must also see it with my own eyes and ride it to know." ”
Soon someone brought a big red horse over, Shen Nian stepped forward in a hurry, only walked to the front, already a lot of dissatisfaction, others have long legs, and the horses don't seem to be very compatible.
In this way, four or five horses were selected, but they were not very satisfied, Shen Nianyi could point out the problem every time, the man saw that he was an expert, and gradually stopped talking, until he refused a green horse, and then he said in a low voice: "It seems that the child's requirements are not low, I don't know how much the son can pay to buy a good horse?" ”
"As I said early on, the price is not a problem, it just depends on whether you have good goods, if you use these ordinary things to perfunctory, then I won't waste much time." Shen Nian was about to leave, and he was really not slow.
The man was in a hurry, ran to him, and stopped the person with his arms outstretched: "Childe, the words are not finished yet, there are good goods, but the temper is not very good, for fear of falling and falling Childe, and then turn back and smash the field, face, everyone can't get by." ”
Shen Nian squinted at him, and didn't speak, the man was so bored, touched his nose, and hurriedly called someone to lead the horse over: "Isn't it faster, yes, it's the yellow horse, you want to kick someone?" How do you work, come with the reins, how it stretches its legs and kicks you! ”
Only heard the three words of the yellow horse, Shen Nianyi knew that what he expected was not bad, and he really ended up in the horse market, but how it came to be still debatable, he waited for the high-headed and long-legged yellow horse to be dragged to him by two grooms.
"Childe, what do you think of this horse?"
Shen Nianyi's hand reached out and touched two handfuls at the horse's mane, the horses in the army were completely different from those ridden in the usual wealthy homes, presumably this horse dealer could be distinguished, but he deliberately did not make it clear, that is, he knew that there was something wrong with the origin of the horses, as long as he found a rich buyer to get rid of it.
Especially when he was bought back by a rich man and put in the stable in his own backyard, others couldn't find it again if they wanted to, Shen Nian saw that his horsehair was really a little brown, very handsome, and then turned his head sideways, looked at the man's expectant gaze, and he smiled lightly: "The murderer who sold this horse to you, is it dark-skinned, square-faced, and a scar on the corner of his mouth that is not obvious?" ”
The man's face changed greatly, staring at Shen Nianyi, but he didn't turn around and run, he should know that the monk can't run the temple if he can run, such a big shop, he can't run with it, he gritted his teeth and said: "What the son said is good, but that person is selling it by himself, and we are doing a clean business." ”
