For thousands of years, horses have been the most cherished and important livestock of all countries.

People in the world love horses, especially the people in the rivers and lakes.

First, they spend a lot of time with horses when they are out and about, and secondly, they are prone to danger and horses can often be used as their escape.

Yes, Jianghu people love horses, especially horses.

However, horses have always been expensive, and they are often hard to find. Don't you hear, "A thousand catties are easy to get, but a good horse is hard to find?"

The family has been rich for a hundred years, and the wealth is not counted. An Ruqing has lacked nothing since he was a child, so that his temperament is a little boring.

There is only one thing, but he likes it to the heart.

This thing is his extremely rare snowy horse.

There are more than 60 kinds of horses in the world that can be called good horses, among them, there are three of them, the "blood horse" of Shatuo country, the "empty bone" of Xian Ma country and the "feather yang" of snow country.

An Ruqing's snow owl is a variant of the Yuyang horse.

This snowy owl has a pure white coat, long limbs, tight tendons, and is born with a noble spirit; not only is it extremely fast, but also has excellent endurance, and it can run for 1,200 miles without stopping, which is really the best of the best.

It was almost dusk, and there were few pedestrians on the post roads on the outskirts of the city.

An old couple almost trotted in the middle, and the man carried the burden and walked in the direction of Chengguan. If they could not enter the city before the gate closed, they would have to stay under the gate for the night.

A gust of wind blew by, and the two couldn't help but turn their heads, only to see the golden afterglow sprinkled on a white shadow, and disappeared in an instant.

The so-called white horse passing through the gap may be like this.

One horse is one person, and there is no dust for a breath. The horse is a white horse, and the man is dressed in white, and the two do not live up to each other.

Xu Yiye held the reins in his left hand, stroked his mane with his right hand, closed his eyes slightly, smiled on his face, and his heart beat wildly.

Sure enough, it's a good horse! Xu Yiye rode on horseback, and couldn't help but sigh, and there was a trace of jealousy in his heart, "An Ruqing has such a good horse, why don't I?"

"I am willing to exchange ten thousand gold for a good horse, but why not with the sky?"

... ...

The Dahua Imperial Court had a yamen in charge of wind and governance, called Jiyan Division, which was subordinate to Sikong Mansion, and it had always been an idle position that was not taken seriously.

Jiyan is a political secretary from the third grade, and Lu Jianyou has never met the emperor in the five years since he took office. Today, he waited outside the palace for the first time.

Although he was idle, he was not too foolish, and he didn't dare to hide it or report it today.

Seeing the rumors collected by plainclothes walking, he was stunned and hurriedly found a few stewards to question. After sorting out the beginning and the end, he went to Shangshutai and asked to see the regent Duanwang.

"Poof... Puff......"Lu saw that Empress You was outside the hall, and he could only hear his own heartbeat.

He had been waiting outside the temple for an hour.

The three kings were all killed, King Yun was imprisoned again, and almost all government affairs were decided by King Duan alone.

He was very busy, the rooster got up before it crowed, and the rat did not stop coming out of the hole, and he couldn't take care of his diet during this time.

Tired? Naturally, tired. King Duan didn't dare to say that he was tired.

Emperor Yonghua has been ill for a long time, he is drowsy all day long, and he is unconscious, nearly half of the ministers who can be used in the court and the central government have been lost, and the local shortcomings have gradually deepened, and the people's grievances have become increasingly strong.

"Hmm~~~" King Duan shouted heavily, glaring, he was looking at the report sent by the Shanghe County Governor.

Xia Muren died, and no one took care of the aftermath of the flood in Pingzhou, and the rotting corpses that were not buried breed epidemics, which have now spread to Bingzhou and Huanzhou, and have killed more than 1,000 people.

The three great calamities of the world: natural disasters, wars, and epidemics.

If the epidemic is not controlled in time, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is not uncommon for a city to die.

"Who will be sent to cure this epidemic?" King Duan raised his head and thought hard.

He remembered a person, "Mei Siyuan can naturally be governed, but Yanzheng has just improved, and he has to be in charge, alas... The epidemic is difficult to treat, and the salt government is difficult to manage, but there is only one Mei Siyuan in Dahua. ”

For a long time, he approved a few lines of small characters in the political records of Shangshutai: Summoned Mei Siyuan, the political secretary of Anxian Salt Transportation, to perform his duties in the capital.

"Knock~~~Knock~~~" The leaky room rang two bells.

King Duan listened to the sound of the time, and said to the eunuch on duty next to him while reading the fold: "What time is it?"

"Back to the regent, it's ugly. The eunuch on duty replied respectfully.

"Oh, it's so late!" Duan Wang said with a look of surprise. Yan Bi relieved his muscles and bones, and stood up on crutches.

As soon as he got up, the eunuch on duty reported with some embarrassment: "Regent, Lord Lu of the Jiyan Division has been waiting for three hours to see him. ”

"Jiyan Division?" Duan Wang frowned, thoughtfully, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in!"

... ...

The night was late, and it was quiet everywhere, but Mei Yuanchen still had trouble sleeping, lying on the bed tossing and turning, his brain was in chaos, teaching him to be restless.

Worries are incomprehensible, and even though it is useless to think about it, I can't help but think about it. As a result, the more I think about it, the more chaotic I become, the more troublesome I become, and the more I have old worries, and new worries are added.

"Seunghyun is in a difficult situation, how can I help him?"

"Miss Yi is only afraid of me... It's just that I have a marriage contract with Begonia and Yiyi, and I must not fail them. How can you get the best of both worlds?"

... ...

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the inn.

"Toot ... "Someone dismounted and walked under the porch.

"Knock! knock!" There were three knocks outside the store, and then a man called inward, "Shop, there is a customer, please open the door!"

There is no light in the house, and the starlight outside the house cannot come in, so you can't see things with your eyes. Someone in the darkness answered in a daze, "Coming", and then the sound of a fire breaker igniting a fire was heard.

The dim light illuminated a rather fat figure, and it was the innkeeper who had walked out of the night watchhouse.

"Squeak~~~"

The door opened, and outside was a tall man in white.

"Guest, do you want to stay in the hotel?" asked the innkeeper with his eyes half-open.

"Here are five taels of silver, and I will ask you about two people. "The man in white is right.

The innkeeper was still half-asleep, his eyelids trembled, and after listening to the words of the man in white, his body couldn't help but be sleepy for a while, and then he looked at the things he handed over in his hand, and the whole person instantly shook up, and replied with a smile: "Honorable guest, please say! Xiao Ke must know everything, and his words are true!"

The man in white threw the silver ingot over and asked, "You have two men and two women here today, one old and one young, and the women are all handsome?"

It was Xu Yuye who drove his horse overnight to catch up.

The innkeeper replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes! They arrived more than two hours ago, and are resting here." ”

Hearing this answer, Xu Yiye finally showed a smile on his face.

"Who are you, what are you looking for us?" At this moment, Mei Yuanchen appeared behind him and asked in a cold voice.
