Chapter 4 A Friend Comes from Far Away
"Black Rider!
"How could the black rider of the Mo family appear in such a place?"
Qin Ke had never seen the black horse, but he knew what the name meant. Although he is not a native of the Mo family, after being adopted by his master and brought to Daoxiang Village, he has naturally heard a lot of glorious deeds about the black cavalry of the Mo family - such as running thousands of miles and burning hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass overnight, or competing with other cavalry, under the same strength, the black cavalry killed the enemy in a few times and abandoned his armor.
In the territory of the Mo family, the people naturally regard the black horse as the patron saint of the country. Even Uncle Ji, when he saw the five-horse black horse scout in the county town outside the mountain, he felt satisfied with this life, which shows the status of the black horse in people's hearts.
"Wait!" and with the leader's order, the whole team stopped in front of the inn.
If there is a general who studies the art of war here, I am afraid that I will exclaim loudly. Between the run and the time to stop, there was only a breath of time, but the black rider fell into complete silence, and there was no sound except the wheezing of the horses.
The Jianghu guests inside and outside the inn have long been speechless, in their feelings, this team that came like thunder, still and like a long night, has its own cold breath, and now stopped in front of them, like a sharp steel knife, if they are allowed to block in front of this cavalry, they are afraid that they will be torn to pieces in a moment, right?
Unlike the other cavalrymen, the leader who rode on the highest horse was not wearing armor, nor was he straddling a saber at his waist, his hair was slightly gray, but his waist was as straight as a javelin, and he sat on his horse, his eyes drifting coldly over the crowd, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the guest room, the man in the green shirt didn't even glance out the window, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and he whispered to Abu: "It's here." ”
Abu was young, and he was still curious about the rumored black horseman, but he didn't dare to go out of the door to watch it in the open, he only dared to lean on the side of the bed, through the gap, to check this well-trained cavalry, and exclaimed: "This is the famous black horse of the Mo family?" He saw the crossbow from above, and then saw the crossbow from the saber, and frowned, "This crossbow...... Something seems strange. ”
The man in green shirt smiled and said: "The Mo family is already good at tricks, their Mo family crossbow is drawn by the Mo family giant himself, relying on the mechanism, you can shoot arrows at the fastest speed, and the range has reached two hundred and fifty steps, and the armor-piercing arrows can easily penetrate ordinary iron armor, even if you are a strong man like Brother Changgong, you can't do whatever you want in front of this black horse." ”
Abu couldn't help but be speechless: "So powerful, then how can our Jingwu's Qingzhou ghost rider compete with the Mo family's black horse?"
The man in green shirt gently tapped his fingers on the table, closed his eyes and said: "The black rider of the Mo family, the tiger and leopard rider of the Canghai Sea, and the ghost rider of Qingzhou in my Jing Wu are rivals of each other, and each has its own set of training methods. The tiger and leopard rider will not talk about him first, just talk about the Mo family black ride and the Qingzhou ghost rider, who are also known for their speed, both of which take the road of avoiding the real and making the false, not to mention that there have been few wars in recent years, so naturally there is no chance of fighting. ”
Abu was still a little curious and said, "But there will always be a time when there will be a head-on battle in the future, right?"
The man in green shirt smiled: "Then it depends on whether the Mo family is reluctant to give up." Compared with the ghost cavalry in Qingzhou, the cost of the Mo family's black cavalry is five times higher, and the crossbow alone will have to be polished for a year. ”
"Is Sir waiting for this black horse?" said Aber.
"I'm waiting for that person. "Tsing Yi is humane.
Abu carefully observed the leading old man at the front, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "General of the Mo family, Wang Xuanwei?"
Wang Xuanwei stared at the full crowd of people inside and outside the inn for a while, and his eyes showed a bit of disgust, these Jianghu guests who came for treasures were just a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, but there were too many stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and the taste was not good, and at this time, it ......
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xuan said coldly: "Let them go away." ”
Of course, he didn't say this to Qin Ke, who was stupidly standing next to his horse with half a bowl of beef noodles, and when his voice fell, the two people behind him dismounted, and the saber on his waist swayed: "The court is doing things, and the idle people are waiting to go away." ”
The oppressive power of the black riders of the Mo family has already made these Jianghu guests who are accustomed to bullying the soft and afraid of the weekdays tremble, although they are a little dissatisfied with the official authority of the black knights, but they don't dare to really say anything except slander, so they can only be birds and beasts.
It's just that this time it's hard for Qin Ke, these Jianghu guests are holding the inn's dishes and chopsticks, eating the food cooked in the inn, but they ran away most of them without paying the money, isn't it a loss of money?
Crying with a sad face, he completely forgot that the black rider was still by his side, chasing the guests and shouting around: "Hey, guest officer, pay the money first and then leave, this food has not been paid yet!"
But at this time, where could he still pull out a few copper plates from the hands of this group of Jianghu guests who were smeared with oil on the soles of their feet? Looking at the guests who were scattered and still holding food, Qin Ke wanted to cry without tears.
Wang Xuan frowned slightly, slowly dismounted and handed the reins to his subordinates to lead, just as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone put a silver ingot into his palm.
"Little brother. The salutation was close, but Wang Xuanwei's voice revealed the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which made Qin Ke take a step back with some fear, and he took a step further and reached out to stuff the silver into Qin Ke's arms.
Qin Ke was holding the silver ingot, which was not small, and was dazzled by the light of the white flower for a while, and stood in place in a daze, only to hear Wang Xuan's deep voice say: "When you are on an errand, it is strictly forbidden to disturb the people." You can rest assured. ”
It's just that Qin Ke looked at this group of terrifying black riders, and he couldn't feel at ease at all, so he could only nod numbly. Wang Xuanwei didn't intend to say a few more words to Qin Ke, so he took a step behind and slowly walked into the inn hall.
The Jianghu guests in the hall did not leave, but just stood up and looked at Wang Xuanwei with some horror.
And Wang Xuanwei's eyes were like knives, as if through the bodies of these people, pierced the walls of the inn guest room, and penetrated straight in!
Abu, who was hiding by the window and peeping, only felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and quickly shrank back.
And Wang Xuanwei stood downstairs, raised his head slightly, looked at the closed window, and said in a low voice: "There are friends from afar, don't say anything." ”
Abu's heart suddenly tightened, and he almost cried out. Their trip is very secretive, but since Wang Xuanwei is here in person, has they been caught?
The man in the green shirt was still sitting on the chair, drinking tea, leisurely, shaking his fan from time to time, and seemed not to be too worried.
"Sir......" Abu's lips trembled as he wanted to say something. The man in the green shirt shook his head and smiled comfortingly.
Downstairs, Wang Xuanwei looked at the guest room for a long time, seemed a little disappointed, and finally shifted his attention to the restless Jianghu guests in the inn, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. My Mo family has always persuaded people with reason, and I will not force you to leave. It's just that...... These days, many women from good families have been victimized in nearby counties and towns, I hope you will remember that the people of my Mo family have their own Mo family laws to protect them, if you have any outrageous actions......"
"Of course we don't dare to ......" Speaking of this, the Jianghu guests naturally didn't dare to say much, and they all responded to the peace, but in the hearts of most people, they still slandered Wang Xuanwei, and only felt that they were making a big fuss, just for this kind of thing, the Mo family sent out black horses? Could it be that the Mo family's army was too idle to find something to do?
But at the same time, they have some admiration for being able to take care of their own people so far, and what country can do it?
After speaking, Wang Xuanwei didn't keep it, but simply turned around and walked out of the hall, got on the horse and turned around and said, "Set up camp at the entrance of the village." Do not disturb the people, and cook from the stove. ”
The black rider seemed to be thundering and rolling away, and when the rain passed and the sky cleared, Abu, who was in the room, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the inn, Qin Ke looked at the back of the black horseman, but he always felt that Wang Xuanwei glanced back, and that glance seemed to have seen through something.
