Imperial Capital Chapter 55 Red Rabbit
In the eleventh year of the rising sun, July 26
Sunny, the scorching sun scorched the earth into an illusion, Liu Xin opened the camp tent, glanced at the sky, and there seemed to be an illusory scene floating in the air.
"At the end of the vast sea, there is a building in the fog. It seems to be embellished with starlight, like the soft moonlight. Penglai is ethereal, and heaven and earth are long. Sigh at the chase place, startled a few sand gulls. ”
It was the mirage that the fourth senior brother said, and this was the first time Liu Xin had seen this kind of scene, which was quite amazing.
"Brother Liu, hey!"
There was a call from behind him, Liu Xin turned around, and saw Shan Si, who also looked up with a shocked look.
"Niang Xipi, what is that, I saw my mother!" Shan Si subconsciously exclaimed.
Liu Xin, who wanted to hear what Shan Sihui would say, suddenly felt presumptuous, the other party was the son of the Yuanwei Dart Bureau, the chief dart head of the Yuanwei Dart Bureau, in addition to being a famous dart master in the rivers and lakes, he was also a well-known rough billet. How can the son of such a character be elegant, he was also deceived by Shan Si's quiet appearance in the past two days.
"It should be a mirage." Liu Xin explained for this pathetic illiterate.
Shan Si's eyes were still flashing with horror, immersed in the power of this heaven and earth.
"Brother Liu." Zheng Xiao clasped his fists and saluted, he just glanced at the scene in the distance, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he quickly regained his calm.
He came to Liu Xin's side with a solemn face and asked, "Was Brother Liu also locked up in the camp tent yesterday, it seems that something happened!" ”
Zheng Xiao is here to exchange information, and several of their noble second generations were imprisoned for a day yesterday, and they were only unsealed today.
And early this morning, Leng Peijun and Gou Liangyu had already escorted Jiang Chengdu back to the imperial capital. With the cultivation of the two of them and the support of the spies in the East Factory, there should be no problems.
Li Longshan sent someone to inquire about Jiang Chengdu all night, and Jiang Chengdu clenched his teeth and closed his mouth until he left scarred the next day, still without revealing anything useful.
"I was also locked up for a day." Liu Xin ended the topic with one sentence.
Zheng Xiao sighed and muttered to himself:
"I don't know if I can continue to choose horses."
Liu Xin said with a smile: "If you can let us out today, I think the matter has been resolved, but I have been delayed for a day, and I will be ready to leave the military horse farm later." ”
Zheng Xiao was surprised: "Isn't Brother Liu a horse?" ”
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "I didn't come to Soma. ”
Zheng Xiao put his fingers together, knocked on the door of his head, and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, Brother Liu never said that he came to Soma." ”
Liu Xin hugged his fists: "I'm going to leave later, Brother Zheng, I'll see you next day!" ”
Zheng Xiao hugged his fists in return, and Shan Si over there had already come back to his senses, and he hugged his fists over there.
Saying goodbye to a few people, Liu Xin found Lilong Mountain, he hadn't explained the situation to the person in charge of the military horse farm, and he had to make it clear before leaving.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xin, Li Longshan, and Dai Bangzheng sat silently in a tent, most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Liu Xin has already given a brief explanation of the circumstances of his appointment to come here to investigate, and has also shown the dual tokens of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. As a result, Li Longshan pondered there and did not say a word.
The atmosphere slowly fermented in embarrassment, until Liu Xin couldn't stand it anymore, Li Longshan suddenly spoke:
"That's the end of it."
Well?
Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, and that's it?
He looked at Dai Bangzheng and saw that the latter smiled wryly and nodded.
Li Longshan looked at Liu Xin and said: "I have a traitor here, I naturally have to bear a certain responsibility, so I will secretly report this matter to Qin Guogong, and then give it to Your Majesty, and ask for punishment." Lord Liu, since the matter is over, if there is nothing to do, please leave the military horse farm as soon as possible. ”
It's kind of embarrassing... You didn't say a word and drove people away, but it's okay.
However, Liu Xin was also thick-skinned, without any discoloration on his face, got up and bowed and left.
Seeing Liu Xin leaving, Li Longshan's serious expression relaxed slightly, and he looked at Dai Bangzheng and said, "Send Lord Liu!" ”
Dai Bangzheng stood up and saluted and caught up with Liu Xin.
"Liu Qianhu don't care, Commander Li is such a person." Dai Bangzheng chatted with Liu Xin in detail about Li Longshan's usual work style.
Liu Xin sighed with emotion and concluded: "It turns out that our Li Commander is actually an introvert. He, who didn't know his temperament, thought he was withdrawn, but it turned out to be a social phobia. ”
"What is social fear?" Dai Bangzheng was puzzled.
Liu Xin waved his hand to show that this was not the point: "So Commander Li is operating like this, just to calm things down and cut through the chaos quickly." ”
Li Longshan himself asked for the guilt, as if to say: Your Majesty and Qin Guogong, don't send someone here, the old man himself has sentenced himself, you just give a verdict directly, the old man is afraid!
Dai Bangzheng sent Liu Xin out of the city all the way, and after leaving the inner city gate, Liu Xin saw a fierce horse break free from the horse breeder's hand and run towards Liu Xin in a crooked manner.
"Liu Qianhu be careful!" Dai Bangzheng drew his saber and stopped in front of Liu Xin.
The fierce horse seemed to have a wound under his feet, and he staggered and staggered, and he was not very fast.
Liu Xin patted Dai Bangzheng, signaling that the other party did not need to protect him, and then he took two steps forward, and the fierce horse seemed to see him coming, stumbling all the way, and finally came to Liu Xin, its front hooves snapped violently, and the whole horse fell sideways.
Falling heavily to the ground, raising a puff of dust, when the dust dissipated, Liu Xin looked at the horse's head that fell at his feet, and there was a pleading meaning in his black grape-like eyes.
The horse breeder hurried over, with a panicked face: "Two adults, this horse broke its leg and refused to heal, today I was supposed to send it to a resting place, but I somehow went crazy, and I ask the two adults to forgive me!" ”
As he spoke, the horse breeder raised his whip high and was about to draw it, but was grabbed tightly by a large hand in mid-air.
The horse breeder was stunned, then looked at Liu Xin who stopped him in horror.
Liu Xin didn't care about the attitude of the horse breeder, but became interested in the horse and asked, "What's wrong with him, why should he be sent to rest, his leg injury can't be healed?" ”
The so-called rest is in fact humane destruction.
The horse breeder said in fear: "This horse is still underage, although this leg is broken, but it can be cured, but this horse refuses to treat itself, and has already kicked and injured three doctors." Then the person in charge reported it, and the higher authorities had already issued a letter of approval to give it rest. ”
Liu Xin squatted down while listening, gently stroking the horse's head with his palm, after listening, he thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Lord Dai, I want to take this horse, I don't know what procedures are needed?" ”
Dai Bangzheng said with a smile: "I have already checked the box to go to rest, if Liu Qianhu likes it, he can bring it with him, and there is no need for any formalities!" ”
"Thank you!" Liu Xin arched his hand, then looked back at the horse, one person and one horse looked at each other, Liu Xin said softly: "If you want to go with me, stand up yourself!" ”
The mottled fur snort, and then really struggled to get up, but the fall just now may have aggravated the leg injury, and its leg did not dare to exert force, and it struggled for a long time and still did not get up.
Liu Xin didn't help it, just watched it.
In the dark, Liu Xin felt as if he had seen it. In my heart, I had the thought that this was not a horse, but a comrade-in-arms.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he was silent, encouraging the horse with his eyes.
Dai Bangzheng asked the horse breeder on the side: "What breed is this horse?" ”
Horse breeder: "The hybridization of sweat and blood and grassland species." ”
Dai Bangzheng nodded: "No wonder the hair is impure." ”
While the horse breeder was talking to Dai Bangzheng, the horse staggered and finally got up, one of its front hooves was empty, and Liu Xin kept squatting and moved two steps forward.
There was vigilance in the horse's eyes, but there was no other movement, and this scene made Dai Bangzheng amazed.
Although this horse is a crossbred horse, it has some spirituality.
Liu Xin's hands were pressed on the horse's hooves, and he naturally knew how to touch the bones, and the simple judgment was that he was fractured because of the dislocation of the force too strong, as long as he was connected, he could recover after a period of time.
He also judged from the touch of the bones that this was a horse no more than a year and a half years old, a young horse, and his body would recover faster.
Transporting the internal force, Liu Xin slowly stroked the horse's legs, and then took advantage of the other party's inattention, his hands were forced, and with a click, the bones were connected.
Woohoohoo!
Then there was a painful hiss.
Liu Xin got up, and the horse did not kick him in sudden pain, but took two steps back, as if he was afraid of stepping on Liu Xin.
"Haha, what a good horse, look at your red hair, I'll call you, Chitu!"
seems to think of the words that the fourth senior brother once said, and the one he remembers most is the red rabbit horse.
Sun Long among the people, red rabbit among the horses, this is Sun Long's original words at that time.
Patting the horse's head, Chitu leaned his head affectionately on Liu Xin's palm, Liu Xin turned around and asked, "I have already connected its bones, and it will be able to recover after a while." Dai-sama, can I still take it with me? ”
A horse that is about to be humanely destroyed and a horse that has been cured naturally have different treatments, so Liu Xin needs to confirm it.
Dai Bangzheng didn't expect Liu Xin to do this, so he couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect Liu Qianhu to have this skill." It's okay, this horse was cured by Liu Qianhu, and it is naturally owned by Liu Qianhu. ”
"Liu Xin thanks!" Liu Xin solemnly clenched his fists.
He had a deep feeling that he had to take Chitu with him today.
As soon as Liu Xin took the lead, Chitu himself followed, although he didn't walk fast, but after all, he was four-legged and could keep up with Liu Xin's pace.
After leaving the outer city gate and saying goodbye to Dai Bangzheng, Liu Xin walked in the direction of Hanzhong Mansion.
This official road connects the military horse farm and Hanzhong Mansion, and is specially built. There are not many pedestrians on the road, after all, one end is a military horse farm, and few people will go there on weekdays.
He carried a horse about the age of half a child, and his hair was mottled, and only when he got close could he see the shiny red hair at the bottom of the stray hair. Liu Xin himself is also dressed in regular clothes, so not too many people pay attention to them when he walks on the road.
An hour and a half later, Liu Xin and Chitu, who were swaying and hurrying, could already see the city walls of Hanzhong Mansion, and it was estimated that they should arrive in another quarter of an hour.
At this moment, Liu Xin heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and there were not many of them, only a few horses.
Liu Xin thought, it's not Shan Si, Zheng Xiao's group of people have already finished fighting, so let's catch up.
Brought Chitu to the side of the official road, and the horse behind was very fast, in case he couldn't dodge, it would be a trouble.
When the knights in the back approached, Liu Xin found that it was not the single four of them. The knight was dressed in a purple costume with a golden crown, and his face was smeared with something, and his lips were red and his teeth were white.
The man was holding a horsewhip, raising the whip excitedly, and constantly shouting "Drive!" "They were followed by uniformly dressed men, who were supposed to be guards, and they sat down on horseback with quivers, a large bow behind them, and a saber at their waists.
Look at this posture, this group of people has an extraordinary background.
Sao Bao man's horseback riding skills are very good, and his speed is extremely fast, and he didn't even look at Liu Xin when he passed by Liu Xin, and went straight over, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust.
The guards behind him followed closely, and one of them also approached Liu Xin's position, Liu Xin could only take two steps back, and the guard stepped over where Liu Xin had stood on horseback, and there was a sudden ugly laughter in the wind.
"These bunnies!" Liu Xin scolded angrily in a low voice, if it weren't for the bad legs and feet of the red rabbit, he would have to catch up and teach him a lesson.
Liu Xin's time in officialdom is still short, and he has not yet cultivated the calm of being an official. It is also possible that he will not be able to raise it in this life, Liu Xin thinks that he is a Jianghu person, no matter when he is a Jianghu person, and the spirit of Jianghu will always be prosperous.
Two quarters of an hour later, after checking the road guide, Liu Xin successfully entered Hanzhong Mansion.
Because the task of the military horse farm is extremely smooth, there are still eleven or twelve days before the arrival of the team of the Jinyi Guards behind. Maybe Leng Peijun and they will meet on the way back, in that case, maybe the team will come faster, but it will be at least five or six days, and he can relax during this time.
When he went down the mountain, he felt that he had been tied to an invisible bondage, and now that the bondage had been lifted for a short time, it was natural to have fun.
I found an inn, let the little guy take care of the red rabbit, with the physique of the red rabbit, it should be almost good without half a month of injury, and it is estimated that when the mission returns to the imperial capital, it can be ridden.
As for his treasure horse, it had already been given to Leng Peijun and they were carrying Jiang Chengdu away.
In the next two days, Liu Xin's life was peaceful and comfortable, on this day, Liu Xin came to a theater, which he would come to these two days, because the play here is not bad, and the daily performance is not repeated, Liu Xin likes to listen to stories, and he also likes to watch plays, so he takes some time to come and listen every day.
Less than a quarter of an hour after taking a seat, the show began.
It didn't take long for Liu Xin to see the highlights, and two burly men suddenly jumped up on the stage, with knives at their waists, fierce and vicious.
Liu Xin frowned, feeling that the clothes on the two men were a little familiar.
The performers on the stage were forced to the backstage, and the people watching the play under the stage actually got up and left, Liu Xin thought about it, and was just about to go backstage to take a look, but saw a person who seemed to be the shopkeeper of the theater came out and hugged his fist to the few guests:
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's okay, you can stay for a while, and the show continues."
hurriedly said this, and the shopkeeper hurried back to the backstage. The audience in the audience stopped leaving, and Liu Xin also heard a few people chatting there:
"It seems that Chen Baihu again, this pear girl from Lanfangyuan still hasn't escaped after all."
Another said: "Looking at the rhetoric of the shopkeeper, I also know that Li Niang must still be from." ”
Someone else said, "You two be quiet, don't be heard by those captains!" ”
So the three of them began to speak in a low voice.
Liu Xin sat down silently, bowed his head and frowned, the word lieutenant made him care very much.
The captain of the world, there is only Jinyiwei.
Hanzhong Mansion is a big city, and there should be thousands of households stationed in Jinyiwei. I don't know who these people are.
The two strong men with swords didn't come out after they entered the backstage, until the play restarted, Liu Xin still didn't find anyone coming out, and he probably left from the backstage.
The play reopened, but Liu Xin's heart sank and he couldn't get up, he pondered, and his fingers subconsciously tapped the back of the chair.
As the deputy Qianhu of the Fusi of Nanzhen, one of his responsibilities is to supervise the interior of Jinyiwei, and he has the responsibility of an inspector. If it was really Jinyiwei who was here to do these things that bullied men and women, then he had a reason to take care of it, but now his appointment documents are still on the way, and the only thing on his body that can confirm his identity is a waist card.
Of course, the waist card is true, but without the appointment paperwork, he can't mobilize the brocade guards here, let alone suppress it with his identity.
He is only a deputy thousand households, the supreme commander of the Jinyi Wei of Hanzhong Mansion, and he should be a thousand households.
can do these things with great fanfare, Liu Xin believes that this thousand households will definitely not be able to escape the involvement.
Since you can't use your official body, let's go back to your old job, Liu Xin smiled and relaxed.
Is this a return to the territory I am familiar with, or is it so easy.
