After about two quarters of an hour, one of the sick horses slowly raised his head, shook it, rolled a few times, and snorted a few times, and then stood up at once, and stuck out his tongue to eat the dead grass on the ground.

One after the other, almost all of them made the same movement, and they all stood up. These horses seemed to be gathered, heading to the northeast, leading their necks to neigh, neighing with a bit of sadness, just like in Chen Lu's dream.

Chen Lu immediately knelt down, and bowed three times in line with the heads of these horses. Li Da brought people over, and also bowed three times, praying in his mouth: "The saint is blessed with all the spirits, and the servants thank the heavens." ”

Chen Lu stood up and said, "General Ha, please take someone to escort Lu Hatu to Amer's house, and then send someone to the counseling center, and ask them to notify the sick horse family to go to Amer's house to treat the horse." Let the inquisitor come to the camp, and the envoy will have something to ask him. ”

Hasan said loudly: "Lord Chen, I will not be able to obey my orders, and the envoy will order the humble general to protect the lord at all times, so let's send someone else." In addition, General Bei has a question, even if we can treat a few sick horses in Amer's house, the other sick horses still can't do anything, is it too much?"

Li Da was not at ease, and said: "What General Ha said makes sense, let's change Hu Chun." He did not answer the latter question.

Chen Lu said: "What the adults say, but language is a big problem, General Ha knows all kinds of languages, and it is most appropriate for him to go." General Ha, if you see a sick horse for medical treatment, it doesn't matter if you don't see it.

"This is someone deliberately blocking our journey west. Our horses are healed, and those veterinarians and medicines will naturally come back. Go ahead, don't worry about me, no one can ask me for dinner yet. ”

Li Da nodded, there was really no other way, let Ha San take someone on an errand.

Li Da took people back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Chen Lu asked everyone else to go out, and there were only three angels in the house. Chen Lu told the situation in the dream and his wish. Li Da was silent.

Li Xian said: "Two adults, don't lose faith in God. Xiaguan means that Lord Chen draws a portrait based on the memory of his dream and makes his family worship. ”

Li Da looked at Chen Lu. Chen Lu shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm ashamed, Xia Guan didn't see the face of the great god clearly at all, but only saw three eyes and six hands. ”

Li Da said: "Then there is no need to paint a portrait, just write the worship of the horse god and the spirit of the official." From today onwards, our camp will be offered every day, and the envoy will personally offer incense. ”

Kiko came to report, and the interrogator arrived. Chen Lu told Li Wen in Mongolian, so he retired and went back to arrange for someone to worship the spirit official marshal.

That night, Li Da was happy, and several people drank some wine and went to bed early. Chen Lu was too tired, mainly because the tight string was loosened, he felt sleepy and tired, and fell asleep, it was still that dream, ten thousand horses screamed, and there was nothing else.

When I got up on the fourth watch, the sky was already clear, there was a little snow, and the ground was not covered. Li Da was overjoyed and ordered the fifth watch to be opened.

The brigade walked more than fifty miles and passed through Gelding City. Li Da gave the order to continue to advance and set up camp at the beginning of the unitary period. This is a densely populated place, and there is no need to worry about the lack of water.

After walking for more than 20 miles, when he arrived at the city of Yima, Luhatu told Li Da that this was the largest famous horse trading market in the Western Regions.

Li Da ordered that he set up camp outside the city.

Wenda was reluctant, he privately discussed with Li Xian, the soldiers were too hard, and everyone stayed relaxed for one night in the house on the Ima City. Li Xian was tempted and went to intercede with Li Da, and let Li Da reprimand.

Chen Lu didn't say anything, this is not a big deal. But since it is Huairou Yuanren, of course, it is better not to disturb the people. The supplies of the Mongolian guard were not delivered, and some necessary things also needed to be added, and there was another important reason, Li Da loved famous horses, almost to the point of obsession. When you arrive in this Yima City, you can't easily miss it!

The Institute has already come to ask St. Ann. The interrogator didn't arrive, saying that he went to the health department to urge the baggage, and he could arrive tonight.

The next day, there was no rush to leave, and everyone slept peacefully. In this frozen and cold Western Regions, everyone is basically used to it, and they can fall asleep standing guard outside.

At breakfast, the grain convoy of the Wei Si arrived, and brought 500 stone of rice, noodles, salt, dried vegetables, frozen meat, and clothes, leaving some of the people to follow the mission, and the others returned to the Wei Si.

After breakfast, Li Da changed into civilian clothes, rode his favorite horse "Wan'er", let people lead the "Thunderbolt", took Li Xian, Chen Lu and some soldiers, all changed into civilian clothes, dressed as Han people, Ha San and Luhatu Mongols, and scattered into the city.

Ima City is in a large courtyard in the south of the city, and along the way, these people really saw what is called Horse City, especially this Ima City, which is almost all famous horses.

The Dawan good horses that I often hear about in Beijing can be seen everywhere here, which makes Li Da, a horse lover, envious, but his two BMWs are also rare here, and they are also full of praise.

Walking into the horse market, Li Da's eyes were not enough, and then he realized how shallow and ignorant he was, the so-called horse lover, was simply a frog at the bottom of the well, and the so-called famous horses in the Ouchi Shanglin Garden and Taifu Temple were simply worthless compared to the horses here.

But here horses are traded, not money or money, only gold and silver.

Some people looked at "Wan'er" and asked Lu Hatu about the price, Lu Hatu wanted to say that he would not sell it, but saw that Chen Lu was shaking his head, so he changed his words and said: "Pay a price." ”

Then the two of them tinkered in their sleeves for a while, and Lu Hatu reported to Chen Lu, this person gave 1,600 yuanars, which is a gold coin, which is equivalent to four thousand taels of silver, which surprised Li Da and a few people, and the rarity is expensive, Xinfu.

Horses here are quite cheap. Such Mongolian horses are rare here, and they become treasures.

Li Da selected five horses, all of which cost more than 100 taels of silver, but the price had to be increased tenfold when they got it to the mainland. These angels all glanced at each other, and understood in each other's hearts that Li Da spent five hundred taels of silver to buy five famous horses.

They also had the task of inspecting the horse market to see if they could establish a horse market in the Western Regions.

The buyers bought some daily necessities, and everyone went back to the camp. After going back, Li Da asked Li to draft a fold first, suggesting that a horse market be opened in the border town, so that the people would benefit each other and the border would be safe. Together with the five horses, he sent people back to Beiping.

Because Li Da had been delayed on the road for too long, he urged him to speed up his progress, walked more than seventy miles, and when he left the city of horse thieves, the sun was about to set, and Chen Lu suggested setting up camp.

Li Da ordered to continue on the road, because he was unhappy with the words of this horse thief city.

After walking more than thirty miles, it was already dark, and the outpost reported that there was no one in front of him, only an ancient city wall, which could be encamped.

Wenda ran over and reported that he could no longer walk, and that the officers and soldiers and cattle could no longer walk. Li Da ordered to camp within the ancient city walls. Even though the torches are lit, I can't see the surroundings clearly.

Everyone saw it during the day, out of the horse thief city, there was endless gravel, the whole field was empty, there were no people, and there were few trees, needless to say here, the same.
