Wu'an County is located to the west of Changze County.

If you want to return to Changze County from Wu'an County, you have to go out through the East Gate.

Chen Tang stayed near the city wall of the east gate for a whole night, and memorized the patrol rules of the guards all night, the time and place of rotation.

He waited until dawn to return to the inn.

Fortunately, I began to practice martial arts in this life, and with the assistance of treasure and medicinal materials such as tiger milk, ginseng, and monkey wine, I stayed up all night, and I still didn't feel tired in the morning.

In the previous life, if you didn't sleep all night, the whole person seemed to be sucked out of three souls and seven spirits, and at the end of the day, I was listless.

It didn't take long for everyone to get up.

Mei Yingxue came over early, took Qingmu and Zhiwei down for breakfast, and then took Chen Tang and a few people to walk around the street.

Wu'an County is indeed much more prosperous than Changze County.

Here, Chen Tang has already felt the fireworks atmosphere that only some cities have.

Everywhere you can see the peddlers and pawns, the people who lead the carts and sell pulp, and the streets are much more spacious, and there are many kinds of shops, inns, and restaurants on both sides.

There are also performers on the streets, such as smashing boulders on their chests, swallowing swords and spitting fire.

The shouting, shouting, and cheering are intertwined, and the sound is noisy and lively.

It is the blacksmith shop that casts weapons, which is much more magnificent than the old grandson of Changze County.

There were more than a dozen stout men inside, barearmed, covered in tendon meat, sweating profusely, constantly beating the iron that had just been burned red, making a clanging sound.

The fat old man and Qing Mu have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and have been to many county capitals, so they have long been accustomed to this scene.

Zhiwei is just looking around.

In front of her, she also had some impressions in her childhood memories.

The place where she lives seems to be ten times more prosperous than what she is in front of, a hundred times more prosperous!

However, Chen Tang was very surprised and looked around.

As a modern person, I am accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings and reinforced concrete, and when I came to this ancient town, I was in the downtown area, looking at the crowds coming and going, bustling, and I had a different feeling.

Merchants and shops on both sides of the street have also hung lanterns in front of their doors one after another to prepare for tomorrow's Shangyuan Festival.

"Where is the custom school in Wu'an County?"

Chen Tang asked.

"I'll take you there now."

Mei Nianzhi smiled slightly, and led everyone to the direction of Dongshi.

It didn't take long to see a high-walled area in the distance, with a wide gate and several soldiers in armor standing in the doorway, obviously from the army.

At this time, some people were already coming in and out, and the soldiers at the door did not stop them.

Mei Nianzhi explained: "Tomorrow the Shangyuan Festival will start to finalize, and today the school field is open to the public, you can come to familiarize yourself with the venue in advance, but you can't touch any weapons inside." ”

As he spoke, he led everyone into the school grounds.

The inside is extremely spacious, and you can see several weapon racks in front of you in the distance.

One of the most conspicuous is the row of bows and arrows!

Each bow occupies a shelf, on which are marked with several stone bows.

There are a total of nine bows, corresponding to one stone to nine stones.

Mei Nianzhi looked at the two sons and a group of disciples behind him and said, "When you participate in the order tomorrow, you must not be reckless, you must start with a stone bow and try it step by step." ”

"Every time, there are people who are overwhelmed and want to directly pull the bow of the three stones, but they strain their muscles, and even the tendons of their arms are broken."

Everyone agreed, and their eyes were full of excitement.

It's a pity that they weren't allowed to touch it today, otherwise they would have rushed up and tried it a long time ago.

In the Qianguo, bows of more than one stone are not allowed to be privately stored by the people, and blacksmiths are not allowed to cast them privately.

Therefore, on weekdays, everyone has no chance to touch the strong bow of two stones and three stones.

Everyone walked around the school grounds, and it was close to noon.

After having a meal in a nearby restaurant, Chen Tang separated from everyone and said, "I'll take a look around here myself, you guys go play." ”

Chen Tang walked around the East Market for a while, and then saw a horse market.

Chen Tang had never ridden a horse in his previous life, and he was born poor in his predecessor, so he had no chance to ride a horse.

But he is going to rush back to Changze County tonight, and it is best to ride a horse for a distance of more than 200 miles, and he must hurry up.

"How do you sell horses?"

Chen Tang looked around the stable, and couldn't tell which horse was powerful at all, running fast and far.

He didn't know anything about horses, and he didn't know anything about horses.

"That depends on what the young man wants."

The boss of the horse market said: "A hundred miles a day, a four hundred miles a day, and a sweaty BMW that travels thousands of miles a day, it must be a different price." ”

"You have a sweaty BMW that travels thousands of miles a day?"

Chen Tang's eyes lit up.

If you can travel a thousand a day, Wu'an County to Changze County can be reached in less than two hours.

When the boss of the horse market heard Chen Tang inquire about the sweaty BMW, he couldn't help but look Chen Tang up and down, and said with a smile: "I don't have the sweaty BMW, but if I say something, don't you like to listen." Even if there is a bloody BMW, I'm afraid Shaoxia can't afford it. ”

"My horse, although it doesn't look like a bloody horse, but it also has a good horse that travels 800 a day! And the price is not expensive, do you want to take a look? ”

Eight hundred a day?

If you can really do 800 a day, it will be enough.

However, Chen Tang looked at the treacherous look on the face of the boss of the horse market, and guessed that this person was not talking musically, and he was probably fooling him.

Tonight's event is very important.

Don't buy a horse that travels 80 miles a day, and in the end you have to rely on him to run back.

Chen Tang's heart moved, and said, "Which horse are you talking about, bring it over and let me see." ”

"Okay."

The owner of the horse market immediately turned around and led a tall horse over, which looked extraordinary.

But when the horse came to Chen Tang's side, it suddenly seemed to be frightened, and suddenly his knees bent, and the whole horse knelt down directly.

The owner of the horse market was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kicked and dragged it, trying to pull the horse up.

But the horse seemed to be lying there, paralyzed, and trembled slightly, and after a while foamed at the mouth and fainted.

Chen Tang said innocently: "Boss, you can't do it." ”

The owner of the horse market was full of gloom.

He knew at a glance just now that Chen Tang didn't know how to do horses, and he thought that he could fool around and get more money.

As a result, his horse was so unlucky, and somehow, he suddenly fell ill.

Even a fool can see that this horse is not good.

The owner of the horse market said, "I'll find you another one." ”

Chen Tang said: "I'll go directly to your stable to have a look." ”

"You can pick and choose."

The owner of the horse market said.

Chen Tang walked towards the stable.

As soon as they approached, the horses seemed to feel something, and suddenly became a little panicked, flipped their hooves and palms, kicked wildly, and even tried to break free from the reins.

Chen Tang shook his head and said: "Boss, these horses you raise are not very good-tempered, if I ride on this look, I will have to be lifted off before I go far." ”

"It shouldn't be."

The owner of the horse market looked confused.

Although these horses are not good horses, they are usually quite docile, why did they suddenly fall ill en masse today?

Chen Tang asked again: "Do you have any other horses, and you would have changed places without me." ”

Seeing that Chen Tang was leaving, the boss of the horse market hurriedly said, "Yes!" Do you want to have a docile temperament? I have a horse at home, and he has a very docile temperament, and even if the tiger and leopard are in front of him, he will not be frightened! ”

To be precise, it's not docile, it's unresponsiveness......

"Just ......"

The owner of the horse market hesitated, and stopped talking.
