Datong Town, Zhumabao.

As one of the four fortresses outside the pass of Datong Town, the outermost defensive stronghold of the Great Wall, it should have been a slaughtering military town, but since the general Jia Huiping destroyed the Yuan Court eight years ago and captured the last Great Khan Antong Bayar before and after his majesty, the military role of this fortress has begun to weaken, and with it, its commercial role has increased.

In the fourteenth year of Taizong's reign, Daqi set up three government-run horse markets in Datong Town, namely Xinpingbao Horse Market, Deshengbao Horse Market, and Shoukou Fort Horse Market.

In the sixth year of Jinghe at the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, many new horse markets were opened up in Datong Town, including Zhumabao Horse Market, Ningyu Fort Horse Market, Killing Hubao Horse Market, Killing Hubao Horse Market, etc., so that the Great Wall of Datong became the place with the most horse markets in the "middle and three sides". The prosperity of these horse markets resounded inside and outside the Great Wall, especially in the Mongolian provinces, and there was a popular saying at that time: "Gold wins, silver helps horses", and a large amount of tax revenue continued to enter the treasury of Daqi from here.

Five years ago, in order to strengthen the protection of the horse market, Datong Town built a gate city in the east of the fort, and finally formed today's "silver horse" - Zhuma Baoma Horse Market.

Today is a good day, the sky is clear and the wind is not blowing yet. Although it is already autumn, this day is not cool enough to wear thick clothes, and it is a good time for autumn to be crisp.

It is precisely because of this good weather that there are more people in the whole horse market, and many Qi and Mugh people who live nearby have come to the horse market to have fun with their families.

After all, the autumn harvest is over, and I finally have some spare money in my hands, so why don't you bring your own cubs to see the world?

The Mughal people are similar, and the cattle and sheep raised for the people in Guannai this year have also been sold, and with so much money in their hands, they are always unsure if they don't hurry up and exchange them for daily necessities.

With the normalization of this horse market, and the peace and stability for many years, it has attracted a lot of small traders who have nothing to do with the horse market to come here, what wonton stalls, shavers, merchants, jugglers, etc., can be found here, and even stalls specializing in making clay figures and painting sugar paintings for children have magically appeared on both sides of the street

The bustling crowd includes those with bunched hair, braided hair, shaved hair, and even bald.

The children are chasing me everywhere in the streets and alleys, all of them are divided into several teams with shaved heads and playing war games.

Probably because everyone is small and bald at this age, the ethnic characteristics are not obvious, and there is no concept.

The adults are bargaining in a war of words, the buyers are bargaining, and the sellers are insisting on the bottom line and never backing down, and from time to time they fight back twice, making the buyers red-faced

According to the previous experience of the embroidered households, it should be that the Mughult stall owner was annoyed and angry, took out a scimitar to chop off the Han woman, and then searched it from beginning to end, until he could no longer find a penny.

And now, the big round face, small eyes, bearded face, strong body, honest and honest face, the Mugh stall owner is clearly a philistine face, and the Han woman bargained with him, but she couldn't talk about him

Hundreds of embroidered households shouted strangely.

Over the years, although he has often come to Datong on business, almost all of them have come to play Jiang Huan's board, and when it comes to the horse market, he has never been to it once.

Today is a long day of insight.

"Huh? What did Brother Baihu fancy about? Buy it if you like it! Cui He saw the embroidered clothes standing there looking at the stall and was stunned, just as he had taken a fancy to something.

After thinking about it, Cui He added: "If I feel that the money is not enough, I still have a little family resources." ”

If you don't have enough money in hand, you can use mine first, don't be embarrassed.

Although this embroidered Baihu has not told himself what his name is, there is no way, so he can only use the title of "Baihu Brother".

"Huh? No, no, no, the general misunderstood, this is the first time I have seen this kind of scene, and I feel very strange." Embroidered clothes Baihu said with some emotion.

Cui He was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Haha, this. Probably it's a peaceful situation, right? The Mengwu and the Han family share the same place, and they are as close as they are, and they are still a little closer to each other, but they are already in harmony, and they are developing in the direction of being like brothers."

Looking at a group of Han, Meng, Hui and even some yellow-haired children who rushed past their convoy, Cui He couldn't help but smile.

Although he is a martial artist, Cui He feels in his heart that in these years, it is better not to fight if he can not fight.

"I hope so" The embroidered clothes Baihu sighed, and his mood was a little low.

Unlike most of his colleagues, most of whom were born in Luoyang or Beiping, he was born in Jizhen.

The years when he was born and raised were not as peaceful as the world is today.

At that time, the Mengwu who was recuperating in the west to recover his vitality and return to the grassland was not this picture of being good at singing and dancing, he would really go south to fight the grass valley and kill people at the same time!

As a border town facing the capital of the Mughal Dynasty, their family was ruined by the Chahar people who had been offended.

His father and brother died in Baimachuan as a regular soldier of the border army, and his sister and brother-in-law's family of five were taken captive, and there has been no news since then, only he and his mother survived, and the mother and son depended on each other to the position of their hereditary ancestral flag.

It is also fortunate to say that his father's elder brother, his uncle, has been promoted to the Qianhu of Miyun Guards over the years, so he took care of himself and took his father's position.

Later, because he followed the general Jia Hui's Northern Expedition, because of his good intelligence work, he was favored by the embroidered clothes guard, and moved to the position of the current embroidered clothes hundred household officials.

Originally, he hated the Muguls to the core, but with the change of the battle situation, especially when he saw the general from a distance leading the tied and sturdy Khan Antong Bayar back to the Shangdu camp, the hatred in his heart gradually faded

"That's it, let's not talk about that, let's continue the mission!" The embroidered clothes rubbed their eyes vigorously, adjusted their state, and led the horse towards the north gate

。。。。。。

As the garrison general of Zhumabao, Shi Bingyuan certainly has his own government.

It's just that today is different, and today, his government does not belong to him.

"Hey, hey, uncle, the tea is here, the best West Lake Longjing! This is a small one that took a lot of effort from Cui He in Datong City, and it is absolutely true! ”

Shi Bingyuan's face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and he came to the seat that belonged to him with a wooden plate holding a teapot and a teacup in both hands, and flattered the person in the seat.

The man propped his feet on the table and half-lay in the chair, did not get up, just tilted his head and opened one eye to glance at Shi Bingyuan, and then immediately closed it, stretched out his hand and waited for him to hand the tea to him.

"Speak well, look at the way you smile, look at the old man who is disgusting!"

"Hey, hey, dare to disobey the uncle's order!" Shi Bingyuan hurriedly answered, then straightened his waist, and the flattering smile on his face disappeared and returned to normal.

Putting the wooden plate on the table, Shi Bingyuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and held it with both hands and respectfully brought it to the visitor.

"Uncle, drink tea!"

Hearing this, the half-lying figure opened his eyes, found the direction of the teacup, stretched out his hand and twisted it with two fingers, and sniffed it lightly when it reached his nose

"Ah, yes, yes, it's indeed the taste of Longjing, you have a heart."

"Hey, hey, hey" was praised by the visitor, and Shi Bingyuan laughed very happily.

Although this person is not a good thing, his hobbies are relatively simple, he is good at tea!

It's so convenient to do what he likes, as long as he brews good tea, he can drink it from morning to night from the second brew, and the tea leaves are soaked before changing the tea

However, he was still a little flustered, and he didn't understand why this person came here at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to take the initiative to ask: "This uncle, I don't know if the uncle came this time for."

"What? Don't want Lao Tzu to come over? The person who was still sipping tea just now frowned and glanced at Shi Bingyuan very dissatisfied.

"No, no, no, the little ones don't dare, the little ones are just curious, hehe, curious" Seeing that the face of this dog changed greatly, Shi Bingyuan panicked, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring!" The person who came snorted coldly, picked up the teacup again and drank it beautifully, perfectly explaining what it means to "pick up the bowl to eat meat, put down the bowl and scold the mother".

"Isn't Jiang Huan sick on that dog day, ask Lao Tzu to come over and see the excitement?"

"Hot, lively?" Shi Bingyuan was very puzzled, and at the same time felt a little flustered inexplicably

"yes, hilarious, why don't you say he's sick in the head? What's so lively about this place where birds don't poop? The visitor sneered, his tone full of disdain for someone.

Then why are you still here?

Shi Bingyuan muttered inwardly.

said that he had a sick brain, and he still heard his anxious snort and ran over, he was sick in the brain, so what's wrong with you?

is still disdainful of Jiang Huan, if you are not the eldest son of Lao Tzu's boss, and the future of Pingcheng Bo, otherwise with your straw bag ability, you will not be worthy of Jiang Huan's shoes!

No, you still have something to compare to

Both of them are dog-faced, and their faces change when they say they change!

The unfortunate thing that was half lying on the chair was the eldest grandson of the Heijo Bo Karasuma family, and the eldest son of Karasuma Suzhen, the current chief military officer of Heicheng Bodatong Town, Karasuma Va.

Early this morning, when he was eating breakfast, he rushed into his yamen in the dust, and sat opposite him without seeing the big lama at all, and he was shocked that he had sprinkled his favorite millet porridge.

Sprinkled!

Alas.

Forget it, who made him the eldest son of his immediate boss? What else can I do to him? Can't kill him?

A few years ago, maybe it was okay, after all, it was still very convenient to run to the Mengwu court in this position, but the problem was

The Mughal court is gone!

There's nowhere to run!

Shi Bingyuan misses his boss who ran to congratulate the emperor on his birthday at the moment, if he was in Datong, where would he come here by Karasuma?

He slapped him earlier and slapped him in circles!

As he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps outside the door, and he saw one of his own soldiers trotting to the door, looking at him anxiously.

Well? What is he here for?

Shi Bingyuan's heart became more and more uneasy.

"What's wrong? What is the guy outside the door doing? "The movement outside the door is not small, and Karasuma has naturally discovered it.

"I'm going to ask about this lowly position." Without waiting for Karasuma to reply, Shi Bingyuan strode over.

"Tsk, ignore me, what do you want to hide from me? God chatter! Karasuma pouted, straightened up with his feet down, picked up the teapot and poured the water again, and savored it carefully.

At the door, Shi Bingyuan came to the anxious face of the soldiers.

"What's so in a hurry? Didn't you see that I was entertaining the eldest young master? Shi Bingyuan frowned, stared at his own soldiers, and shouted softly.

"Yes, yes, it is naturally very important for you to entertain the eldest young master, but. But this is really a big deal, or something you personally said you had to inform you! The pro-soldier leaned in front of Shi Bingyuan with an aggrieved face and replied softly.

"Did I say it myself? I said it myself. Hiss-" Shi Bingyuan gasped, and suddenly figured out why he was flustered just now!

"Coming?" Shi Bingyuan's eyes widened and stared at his own soldiers, as if he wanted to pop out his eyeballs.

"Coming, coming." The soldiers were taken aback by Shi Bingyuan's appearance, and replied very cautiously with a suppressed saliva.

"Heh" Shi Bingyuan laughed at himself, how could all this come together?

"You wait here first, and the eldest young master and I will go with you as soon as we say goodbye!" Shi Bingyuan took a long breath and regained his composure, then lowered his head and pointed at his own soldiers.

"Yui!" Obviously, the pro-soldiers also knew the proportions, and nodded solemnly.

Shi Bingyuan nodded, turned around and walked a few quick steps back to Karasuma's side.

"Finished talking? What's the matter? Hearing the sound of footsteps, Karasuma tilted his head and only opened one eye to look at Shi Bingyuan.

"Uncle Hui, something happened in the city below, and the people below can't make up their minds."

Hiss. Speaking of this, Shi Bingyuan instantly regretted it, and he subconsciously forgot about Karasuma's other hobby

"What? Need your idea? Hurry up, I'm going to see the excitement, go! Karasuma shouted excitedly, stood up suddenly, threw the teacup on the table, and rushed to the door at a trot without Shi Bingyuan pulling Shi Bingyuan

"Hurry up, take me to see the excitement, you lead the way!"

"Don't, the uncle's body is expensive, and there are cows and horses in the city below, and he is afraid of his stinking and despicable duties."

"You're afraid of an egg! Lao Tzu grew up in Guancheng since he was a child, do you need to say? Come on! Karasuma interrupted Shi Bingyuan's last dissuasion with an impatient expression, and waved his hand at his own soldiers to signal them to follow

"No, uncle, if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, what if the person who has a problem below has a knife on you? If something happens to you, it's really humble."

"What a fart! Still not standing under the wall? Have you forgotten that Lao Tzu also has a garrison military position? Have you followed my dad out of the customs to pound the nest? ”

Seeing that Karasuma didn't cut oil and salt, and didn't listen to any persuasion, Shi Bingyuan lowered his head in despair.
