Chapter 297: The White Horse Passes Through the Gap
Gu Meng left Beimen Town and set foot on the land of Daqi.
If you really want to talk about it, Beimen Town is also the land of Daqi, but in Gu Ming's opinion, he will still insist on his own opinion.
Stepping into the territory of Daqi again, Gu Meng soon smelled a faint smell of gunsmoke.
Today's Nanling is not chaotic, but in fact, the current Nanling is still quiet like a piece of water, but under the surface of the water, it is already a turbulent lake.
As for when, these undercurrents will break through the undercurrents and come to the surface of the lake for everyone to see, which is not Gu Ming's concern.
He was just passing by.
After leaving the convoy and coming to the territory of Daqi this time, he no longer had to hurry slowly, only a few miles away, he saw a private horse farm on a vast plain.
On the side of Daqi, when Emperor Daqi was still alive, he took great care of pig iron, horses and salt, and raised private horses, more than 20 horses, all of them were confiscated to the army, and all large horse farms had to be built by the imperial court, so it was not without reason.
The Daying Dynasty occupies the north, and it should occupy the geographical advantage, the north is thousands of miles of fertile fields, the horses are naturally excellent, these horses have been domesticated, and then appear on the battlefield, those cavalry troops, the combat power is naturally born stronger, in order to recover the decline, the Great Qi Dynasty since the Emperor Daqi ascended the throne, has always adhered to the strategy of raising horses by the imperial court, and the horse administration has developed for decades, so that the cavalry of the Great Qi also has a good war horse, although it is still not as good as the Great Ying cavalry, but the gap is definitely not so big.
However, now, with the Great Qi Emperor Bintian, all over Nanling, although the horse politics are still the same as before, in fact, some wealthy families have already broken through the law that no more than twenty horses are allowed, especially in this place, which itself is the border of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Even more so.
Gu Meng was originally going to take a detour, but at a hurried glance, there was a young man with a sword in the racecourse, the man was wearing a gray robe, but it was obviously a little short, and the long shirt he was wearing inside was exposed, and it could be seen that it was the clothing of the sword cultivator of the Sword Court.
The Sword Court is probably not close to here, and it is actually a little surprising to be able to find the disciples of the Sword Court here.
Besides, he's still a disciple who doesn't know how to resist the sword, so what is this for?
Gu Ming, who had some thoughts, patiently watched the young man buy a horse, and then put away the sword, and even the clothes inside, and then rode away.
Gu Meng frowned.
I touched my chin.
It doesn't matter if you touch it, at this time, Gu Meng realized that he didn't know when, and he had grown a beard that was getting shorter.
Shaking his head, Gu Meng came to the horse farm, of course, he said that he wanted to buy a horse.
The man who looked at the horse farm was a little suspicious, originally their bulk business here was already negotiated with people, sporadic scattered horses, on weekdays, there was not necessarily one person to buy it for ten days and half a month, but today it was good, one came and went, and two people came.
This made him a little puzzled, of course, he was more worried that Gu Meng did not come to buy a horse sincerely, but an ignorant mountain bandit or the government came to investigate and secretly visit.
He is not worried about the people in the government, the owner has already taken care of it, he is afraid that some kind of mountain bandit will have to come to grab the horse, and when the horse enters the mountain, if he wants to bring it back, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, after a conversation with this idea, the young man quickly broke his doubts, and finally the young man asked which horse was more suitable for driving, and the man pointed to the black horse at the very edge of the horse farm, and said with a hearty smile: "That beast, fat and strong, is the most suitable for driving." ”
Gu Meng smiled and looked at it, the black horse was bored chewing grass at the moment, looking very fat, Gu Ming's eyes quickly moved away, and looked at the horse next to the black horse, it was snow-white, the horse's mane was slightly golden, and it looked good-looking, mainly in a pair of eyes, revealing cunning.
Gu Meng asked, "What about the horse?"
Following Gu Ming's gaze, the man shook his head and said: "That one can't work, if you ride it, keep you for less than ten miles, it will stop, it's not that it can't travel long distances, it's just that this horse is too lazy." ”
Gu Meng smiled: "It's okay to be lazy, I'm not in a hurry." ”
The man glanced at Gu Meng twice, probably wanting to say something to dispel Gu Ming's opinion, but in the end, after thinking about it, he didn't say much.
Something, he knew.
Gu Meng paid the silver money, and bought a saddle casually, and when the little guy went to lead the horse, he talked a lot with the man, of course, it was all around that Sword Court disciple in the end.
But the result was not good, and the man didn't know anything.
Gu Luo nodded, led the horse, said goodbye to the man, and then left slowly.
led the horse away, Gu Meng was still riding on the horse at first, but it was really as the man said, it was only ten miles, and the horse stopped in place and began to gnaw on the surrounding weeds, no matter how Gu Luo clamped the horse's belly, the horse refused to move forward.
Gu Meng turned over and dismounted, and went to see it in front of the beast's eyes, and in its eyes, he could even see the emotions of the beast.
Gu Meng was not angry, he just walked towards the front, and said to himself: "I bought a horse, but it refused to carry me, so what should I do, I can only kill and eat horse meat, and a horse is not allowed to be ridden, what is the reason for this?"
Maybe he heard too many such words, but the white horse didn't react at all, but stuck out his tongue, Gu Luo didn't know the character of Liang Shiyi's white deer, if he knew, he probably had to send this white horse to Liang Shizhi in person.
Gu Meng turned around suddenly, stared at the white horse and said, "You don't believe what I said?"
The white horse snorted.
Gu Meng squinted his eyes slightly, and a murderous aura revealed, "When I killed someone, you were still eating grass!"
Isn't this nonsense? When you don't kill people, what can it do without eating grass on a horse?
Can't eat meat?
The white horse's pupils contracted significantly, and he stepped back a little uneasily.
Gu Meng asked, "Do you want to go?"
Originally, looking at the white horse like this, Gu Meng felt that this thing was going to be done, but he never expected that the next moment, this horse would pass by him like the wind!
Gu Meng was in a trance, and after a while, he came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the white horse, and muttered, "Running so fast!"
But soon he smiled again: "Am I fast again?"
So in the next half of the day, if someone is around, you can see the scene of a man and a horse chasing after each other on a plain.
The white horse was originally the best horse in the racecourse, but it had been reluctant to move, and now it was better, and all day, it was foaming at the mouth with exhaustion, and ran away all the things that had not run for all these years. It's really interesting.
Finally, at dusk, Gu Meng and Bai Ma were lying on the grass, panting.
Gu Meng hadn't run so freely for a long time.
The white horse had a pair of big eyes and looked at Gu Meng with resentment.
Gu Meng patted its horse's head, "You guy, it's not that you refuse to go, is this enough?"
Hakuba just gasped and didn't make a move.
Gu Meng asked again: "Remember, if you wait for a while and don't want to run, I will really eat you, I have been running for a day, and I am really hungry." ”
The white horse didn't dare to be lazy anymore, so he hurriedly rubbed over and licked Gu Ming's face with his tongue.
Gu Meng didn't refuse, he just looked up like this, watching the sunset slowly turn into stars.
When one person and one horse had rested enough, there was a bright moon hanging in the sky at this time, Gu Meng rode slowly again, this time, although the white horse was still a little reluctant, but he really didn't dare to stop easily.
Gu Luo was on the back of the horse and smiled slowly: "If I am not a cultivator, but a real martial artist, I will definitely find a good sword, and then ride you, and then rely on my face, not to mention anything else, just those women look at me, who doesn't want to marry me?"
The horse snorted, which probably means, you guy, it's really good to brag, don't nod your face.
Gu Meng simply leaned back on the horse's back and muttered in a low voice: "Actually, for a long time, I think that it is good to be a man and simply be a sword cultivator, one person and one sword, I will take a few swords when I encounter injustices, and if I can fight, I will fight, and if I can't beat, I will run, look at the moon when there is a moon, and I will look at the sun when there is a sun, isn't it very good?"
Listening to these words, the white horse's eyes were closed, and it walked slowly, not knowing if it was also enjoying it.
"The two lines of poetry I read before, in fact, I was thinking about it while I was drinking, and if I drank so happily in the future, I would just make up the first two sentences, and the world-famous poet fairy was not also a ranger? I heard that the swordsmanship is extraordinary, and the amount of alcohol is good, but if I really want to talk about it, I am not as good as him in writing poetry, drinking and using a sword, he must not be as good as me. ”
As he spoke, Gu Meng took out a pot of wine and took a few sips.
The white horse smelled the wine, tilted his head, and was a little eager to try.
Gu Meng simply threw the wine jug into the sky, and all the wine fell to the side of the white horse, and the white horse's mouth opened wide, and he drank all the such a pot of wine without leaking.
Then it shook its head contentedly and trotted up.
Gu Meng also sat up, touched the golden mane of the white horse, and laughed: "Shixian said, 'Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can I be a Penghao person' It's really a good poem, a good poem!"
Gu Meng paused and slapped Bai Ma's ass hard.
The horse neighed and began to run with all its might.
As the horses ran, gusts of wind blew on both sides, and the scenes on both sides were constantly changing, and if someone looked down on the world from the sky at this time, he would surely find a very beautiful picture.
When Gu Meng was a teenager, he didn't feel so comfortable and happy.
At this time, he is not a teenager, but he has the vigor and laughter of a teenager!
Gu Meng looked up to the sky happily and laughed, "Don't feel bitter right away, and laugh for a hundred years!"
Gu Meng boasted: "It's also a good poem!"
