Chapter 154: Seeing Through
The young man was stupid, he thought that his horse would not be sold, but who would have thought that there would be a big reversal.
Lu Xiaosan was also stupid, he didn't expect that he would spend a long time talking about it, and people still had to buy this injured horse.
"Old man, you will definitely not win if you buy this horse!" Lu Xiaosan did not speak to Jiang Xingchen, in his opinion, it must be the old man in charge.
"Hehe, if you can't win by buying his horse, will you win if you buy yours...... Besides, our young master has spoken, and you told me that there is a fart!"
The old man smiled and patted Lu Xiaosan, then ignored him and turned around to negotiate the price with the young man.
"......" Lu Xiaosan was speechless, looked at Jiang Xingchen for a moment, and left with a depressed face.
The young man negotiated the price with the old man, but he was extremely reluctant to give up on the horse, hugged the horse's neck, patted and patted, and whispered a few words next to the horse's ears from time to time.
After a long time, the young man let go of the horse and said to Jiang Xingchen: "Young master, Hei Dian's leg is not good, you must not let it race, otherwise it will really be wasted...... Also, if it doesn't win, please be kind to it, don't let it pull the cart, and don't kill it......"
As he spoke, the young man's voice was a little choked, and his eyes were filled with tears.
The big horse called Heidian seemed to know that the road was about to be separated from its master, and kept whispering, rubbing its head against the young man's body.
"This is a horse lover!" the old man sighed in his heart.
Jiang Xingchen silently listened to the young man's words, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Jiang Xingchen meant, but he immediately replied: "Under Feng Ji!"
"If you can't bear this horse, come with us!" Jiang Xingchen then said this, and then turned around and walked out.
The old man was a little surprised, took two steps to follow Jiang Xingchen, and asked, "Boy." What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't the old man hear, this man is not a horse dealer, he is here to compete, because he has not won, so he has to come to sell horses......"
"What does this have to do with you letting him go with us?" the old man was still puzzled.
Jiang Xingchen had a speechless expression on his face and said, "Isn't it good to have a ready-made rider, or when you don't race the horse, the old man will go on it personally!"
"Go!" The old man patted Jiang Xingchen unhappily and asked, "Boy, didn't you say that you would have a casual game." How do I look at you like you're coming...... Even if you really want to come to it, don't buy such a broken horse, how long will it take for the horse to get better, how can we have this time!"
However, what made the old man depressed was that. Jiang Xingchen smiled, but he didn't say anything anymore.
"This little soul is faint. It's nothing to do, always pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. With an unfathomable virtue, no wonder he got a wolf cub back, and when I returned, I would definitely peel its skin and dare to bite me when I got the chance...... Hey, how did I go astray!"
Hurriedly shook his head, and the old man turned around and shouted, "What are you still doing there?" Let's go!"
The young man woke up like a dream, his face was happy, and he also knew what Jiang Xingchen was going to do, and patted the horse's neck. He said in a low voice: "Hei Dian, we don't have to separate!"
On the way, Jiang Xingchen inquired about Feng Ji in detail, and found that he was a little similar to himself, his family was down, his aristocratic status was not guaranteed, and he thought that the horse he had raised since childhood was a good horse and wanted to compete to make money. Unexpectedly, he lost seven games in a row, and the horse's right front leg was also injured. He was now living in poverty, so he had to sell his horse.
Returning to the place where he was blocked, the old man led Feng Ji to rest, and Jiang Xingchen sent a gathered vitality to the black lightning.
"Herod!" the black lightning hissed, and the two huge horse's eyes shone brightly.
Feng Ji hurriedly ran out, and was dumbfounded at first sight: "Why is the black lightning so energetic, after continuous losses, it has been languishing, but now it ......"
Jiang Xingchen smiled, gently patted the stunned Feng Ji, and entered the house with square steps.
The next day, the old man hurried to the Marquis's Mansion early in the morning to inquire about the results. Nanjianghou looked ashamed, and asked the old man for the guilt, saying that he was usually too negligent and did not manage carefully, resulting in a lot of confusion in the transaction records, which was extremely difficult to find, and he has not found it until now.
When the old man heard such a result, he was also a little helpless, so he could only comfort Nanjiang Hou for a few words and continue to wait for the news.
The second day, the third day, still not found. Every time Nanjiang Hou saw the old man, he had a dejected and ashamed expression.
And at this time, the old man finally realized that something was wrong.
"Boy, is Nanjiang Hou perfunctory to us?" asked the old man in the room with a drooping face.
"Do you still need to ask!" Jiang Xingchen had a flat expression, as if he had known about this situation for a long time: "Nanjiang Hou is the great lord, and in the entire Nanjiang Territory, no matter what happens, it is not a matter of his words...... If he really gave the old man face, when we were looking for him, he should have looked for him immediately, instead of making us wait!"
"Boy, you have already seen it, why don't you remind me!" the old man asked unhappily.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I thought that someone would look at me unpleasantly and want to make things difficult for me! But when I saw Nan Jianghou's reaction, I realized that we might be wrong!"
The old man was taken aback, and immediately said, "You mean, this time the incident was premeditated?"
"The old man has said that Nanjiang Hou is the grass on the wall, and this time he behaves like this, it can't help but make people think more!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"The aristocratic management department, it's them! The Marquis of Nanjiang has fallen to them...... However, Yuan Xixuan is stupid, making things difficult for you like this will not affect your reputation at all......, and he will still have a reputation for doing it by means!
Speaking of this, the old man's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he said in astonishment: "They want to use this matter to have a contest with the development faction led by the emperor, and if the Mei'er girl can't do it, all the nobles will see the strength of the old school! Some nobles who are affected by the emperor's strategy will reconsider which side to stand on!"
Knowing this, the old man couldn't help but gasp: "Good guy, let's go to get Mei'er's business records, only to reveal the purpose of coming to Lanyu City this time, overnight, they arranged such a plan to draw it out!"
"Old man, I didn't expect what you said! It's just that I vaguely feel that I am involved in the battle at the top again, so I didn't tell you, for fear that you will send out a message and make a mess!"
"Boy, you're confused! This matter must be resolved, otherwise you don't want to get Mei'er's business records! The attitude of the wall grass is not clear now, and it has not completely fallen to the other party, he is not sure that he can't find it, but tells me that he is still looking for ...... We've got to put pressure on him!"
The old man said, turned around and opened the door, and ran out of the room in a hurry.
"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen wanted to stop him, telling him that he had already figured out a way, and there was no need to call someone. But as soon as the hand was halfway out, the old man was gone.
Slowly exhaling, Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said, "Why do I seem to have become the focus of the battle between the two sides, this is not a good phenomenon...... But I don't care how you fight, it won't affect my sister's illness!"
The old man saw through the purpose of the aristocratic management department, and at the same time as he went to write a letter, in the mansion of the Marquis of Nanjiang, the Marquis of Nanjiang was furious, pointing at the young man in blue who appeared at the fat man that day and scolded.
"You are a weak soul, who let you get involved, didn't Lao Tzu tell you, now the Qiankun Empire is in danger, and the two factions of conservatism and development are fighting each other, and if you don't get it right, it's a dumping situation. ”
"Father, it's not as serious as you said! It's just to embarrass Jiang Xingchen, where is it so involved...... Moreover, Yuan Hao said that he could arrange for the main cities of the three big territories to open a racecourse for us, and he also invited the young patriarch of the bear clan from the Orc Alliance and brought a superb racehorse......"
"You fucking know a fart!" Nan Jianghou looked at his son who was talking eloquently, slapped the table angrily, and scolded: "Do you know how much pressure Lao Tzu wipes your ass for you! Old Man Tang will find someone soon, and the emperor will ask about this matter if he doesn't get it, what do you say I should do?"
"Is it really so serious?" Hearing Nanjiang Hou say Emperor Qiankun, the young man in blue was also a little panicked: "Otherwise, I'll go to Yuan Hao and push this matter aside......"
"It's late! Why didn't you discuss it with me earlier, and you would know how to race horses to make money all day long! Now if you go to reject Yuan Hao, you will offend the old situation and force to death!"
"What then?" asked the young man in blue unconsciously.
"What should I do, you have joined forces with Yuan Hao, and I can only continue to delay...... Yun Xuan, you go and tell Yuan Hao right now, I will delay it for another seven days at most, and then I will announce that the transaction record is lost and reissue it for others! I can do it at most to this point!"
"Yes!" the blue-clothed young man hurriedly bowed down and hurried out of the city as if he were running away.
"I can't imagine that I have been a wall grass all my life, and I still have to fall to one side in the end, I was really killed by this soul fade!"
Sighing, Nanjiang Hou commanded loudly: "Come here, announce to the outside world that I am seriously ill and need to recuperate, and no one will see me ......"
In the private room of a restaurant in Lanyu City, Yuan Hao and Mu Shaodong were also toasting each other, smiling.
"Brother Yuan Hao, you are really clever with this hand! By making things difficult for Jiang Xingchen, you have achieved the goal of suppressing the opponent's momentum, the little brother is really admired!" Mu Shaodong said, raised his glass to invite, and then killed it in one gulp.
"Hehe, speaking of which, it's thanks to you, brother! If you hadn't inadvertently mentioned that Jiang Xingchen was the focus of the fight between the two sides, I wouldn't have thought of this method!" Yuan Hao followed and raised his glass.
"I just don't know how many days the wallhead grass of Nanjianghou can last?" put down the wine glass, Mu Shaodong said.
"Hehe! No matter how many days, as long as you are attracting the other party to put pressure on Nanjiang Hou, it is best for the emperor to ask in person, and we will win" Yuan Hao smiled, stood up, and said: "It is estimated that He Yunxuan and Xiong Hong are almost here, I will go to meet them!"
"Brother Yuan Hao, I'm with you!" Mu Shaodong also stood up.
"No, you can sit here!" Yuan Hao waved his hand, turned around and pushed open the door of the private room and walked out.
Mu Shaodong watched Yuan Hao leave, the smile on his face gradually converged, and muttered: "It's not that we won, it's me who won ......" (to be continued......
