Chapter 6 Makeup
A hidden horse farm outside the city of Liangzhou.
The snow in Layue has not completely melted, and some white can still be seen on the grassland, at this time the old grass is gone, the new shoots have not grown, and the war horses are arranged in the stables to eat the grain and grass transferred from the south to barely survive.
The Xuanjia Army is the elite of the elite of the Northern Liang Army, equipped with purebred Dawan horses, and blacksmiths transferred from the Central Plains have created a batch of horse armor with fine iron, among which the cavalry are all selected from the Red Blood Army, and they are also the only strange soldiers who can compete with the Iron Wolf Army of the Qiang Tribe, the enemy of the world.
Because the early Dawan horses were all introduced from the Western Regions, it was difficult to adapt to the climate of the Central Plains, until now there are only less than 10,000 purebred Dawan horses, all of which are in the Beiliang Army, and others, such as the red-blooded horses, are just some hybrid horses bred after crossing with the Hequ horses on the western grassland of the dynasty. But the Red Blood Army is definitely the elite of Beiliang and even the entire Central Plains Dynasty, every time the armies of all walks of life jointly compete and drill, the Xuanjia does not come out, and the red blood is the king.
This also leads to some gossip from time to time, after all, it has been a taboo since ancient times to support the army and respect itself, and it is not trusted by the royal family, but Bei Liang is an exception. I don't know thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Jiang family and the ancestors of the Liu family became brothers with different surnames, so the two soldiers were divided into two roads, the Jiang family led the troops to pacify the north, and expelled the foreigners to the north of Juyong Pass in one fell swoop, recovering the lost land occupied by the foreigners since the war in the Central Plains for many years, and then went south to join Liu Jun to pacify the Central Plains. After unifying the country, the ancestors of the Jiang family voluntarily gave up the throne and waved their troops to the north to guard the southward barrier of foreign tribes--- a line of sky, the founding emperor of the Liu family ordered the country's skilled craftsmen to use meteorites outside the sky to create the Zhenbei General Seal, personally went to Beiliang City to hand over to the ancestors of the Jiang family.
Later, even if the Liu dynasty collapsed, when the founding monarch of later generations ascended the throne, he was canonized as the head of the Jiang family as the general of Zhenbei when he worshipped the sky. Even if it is just a fictitious position and no real power, the annual salary is real, not for anything else, just because the Jiang family has rarely intervened in temple and partisan disputes for generations to resist foreign races. So in later generations, there were liars who joked: "The royal family with flowing water, the Jiang family with iron." ”
These Jiang Shaoyou naturally understand, otherwise he would not have the confidence to do anything wrong in Beiliang, anyway, who would dare to arrest him if something happened to him, and he would dare to squint his eyes and listen to the big things, even if he sent his father-in-law to read the golden silk holy decree, he dared to lie down with his eyes and listen.
"I've wanted to ride this purebred Dawan horse for a long time, in the past, Old Man Jiang always hid and didn't give it to him, hmph, this time the young master, I will ride it myself. Jiang Shaoyou took the two of them to sneak near the racecourse, He Songpu naturally did not hold the Golden Buddha anymore, but put it back in the house first and then kept catching up with Jiang Shaoyou, with his skills, Jiang Shaoyou came on the front foot to his back foot.
"Wow, is this the Xuanjia Army grassland, it's so big, isn't it rumored that the Xuanjia Army is very small, this grassland is bigger than our 100,000 red-blooded army. Guan Jutang looked at the endless grassland and felt a little indignant in his heart.
He Songpu didn't think too much, after all, he commanded the army defending the city, which was equivalent to the Imperial Forest Army in the imperial city, although he was often pulled by Jiang Shaoyou as a coolie, but he was also a well-known high-ranking official.
After looking at the surrounding environment, the three of them hid behind a big tree, and Guan Jutang said with a bitter face: "So what do you want me to do, young master?" ”
"Hehe, you'll find out later. Jiang Shaoyou circled around Guan Jutang, looking up and down, the cunning gaze in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and Guan Jutang felt a chill in his heart.
After two incense sticks, a woman in green with a graceful figure and gorgeous whitewash walked out from behind the tree.
"Not to mention, Xiao Guan is really suitable for wearing this outfit!" He Songpu, who has always been not good at words, made Guan Jutang a little angry as soon as he opened his mouth, and his red face was obviously unbearable anger.
"It turns out that when the young master came, he touched into someone else's boudoir and stole this!" Guan Jutang didn't dare to be angry with the two rich and powerful guys, so he could only complain.
It turned out that Jiang Shaoyou was riding a horse and was about to go out of the city when he suddenly saw a girl poking out of the window on the second floor of a house, and jumped up without saying hello to Guan Jutang, and grabbed the window to face the girl, which startled people. Jiang Shaoyou asked for something, and she could hear it clearly, so she gave it to him in a daze. Until Jiang Shaoyou jumped out of the window and returned to the horse, the girl reluctantly poked her head out and looked at the two of them away.
At that time, Guan Jutang still wondered why the girl's face was so red. This is good, it turns out that I have calculated myself in the morning.
"Haha, this young master's makeup skills are not insulting to you, and she really looks like a pretty girl in her twenties. Jiang Shaoyou looked at his masterpiece carefully, and it was not in vain that he had nothing to do in the past, teasing the maids in the mansion and putting on makeup for them, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
"What are you going to do, young master, don't embarrass people anymore. Guan Jutang begged for mercy with a handful of snot and tears, and was about to take Jiang Shaoyou's hand, seeing Jiang Shaoyou take a few steps back, he really thought it was a delicate woman for a while, which made him feel a little disgusted when he knew the truth, thinking that this substitution was too fast, and he adapted to the role all of a sudden, could it be that this guy really has talent in this area?
"Don't worry, let's watch Young Master Ben's performance next, you just need to look at my eyes and act, don't leak anything, just follow my words. Then Jiang Shaoyou patted his chest again and promised: "If something happens, the young master will bear it!"
