Chapter 15: The Inexplicable Horse Thief

Yesterday, after Young Master Jiang Cheng and Lan Sheng settled the two beauties and inns of Thirteen Qing and Gu Nianxi, Jiang Cheng immediately sent Lan Sheng back to Qifu and watched her enter the gate safely from thirty meters away. Before she said goodbye, Jiang Cheng invited her to have time to come out, and informed her of the direction of the Jiang family, hoping that she would find a way to meet in the future.

Lan Sheng was shy and did not answer. Then she saw the eldest lady of the Qi family and handed over the jade pendant given to her by the strange-looking man. Go back to your room and change out of your coat that has been swept away by the tornado sleet and mud. Suddenly, I remembered Jiang Cheng's appointment.

To see or not to see? just in Lan Sheng's thoughts...... She hesitated. But he suddenly remembered that the style of the jade pendant should be informed to the master of the Lan family team as soon as possible.

So Lan Sheng and the next day when he was helping the eldest lady buy Yu Ji buns, he planned to sneak away to the Lan family team quietly. Even if she is seen, she will only have a handle to miss her master, and the eldest lady will not punish her.

At this time, it was the time when the old Li Tou of the iron shop led the little white horse to Jiangfu. Lao Li Tou wanted to meet a big family, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and deliberately changed into a good clothes.

The rope of the little white horse, held in his hand, seemed to have a soft spot for Lao Li Tou, and was quite well-behaved and obedient.

He led this horse, although it was a thousand meters away from the Jiang family, he didn't dare to ride it, after all, it was not his horse, and he still wanted his old face. I am also afraid of offending the Jiang family, so it is better not to act rashly with the things of big families.

As everyone knows, when he was halfway there, the horse's lazy problem came up again, shaking his head and tail to ask Lao Li Tou to find him something to eat, and refused to leave.

There has just been a strong wind in this vicinity, and many roadside shops are closed, where can I find good forage for this horse? Could it be that the owner deliberately discarded it because it was greedy? Lao Li Tou looked at it puzzled.

A small group of heroic cavalry of the National Army passed by.

On a jujube red high-headed horse, the handsome cavalry officer Xiao Bai stopped drinking in front of Lao Li.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you're still the same. Xiao Bai complimented lukewarmly. After all, Lao Li is also an elder, but he has no power.

"Are you here to patrol the streets so early?" Lao Li hurriedly accosted, for fear of offending him.

"No, passing by here, my cavalry are hungry, I heard that Yu Ji buns are good, so I came to try them. It's just that the distance is unfamiliar, and I went around in two circles. Xiao Bai said in a slightly magnetic voice. His cavalry officer's cloak in the cold wind wrapped around his tall body, and it looked more and more imposing.

"If you want to eat steamed buns, I'll just run for you! It's only a few dozen meters away. You're a big horse, and you'll ignore it when you smoke and run over. Lao Li stammered, and then handed the little white horse to the assistant of Officer Xiao Bai who landed on the ground, and led the horse cavalry.

Lao Li immediately took out his money bag, bought a bun, and befriended them, along with the fact that he could let them take care of his eldest son, who was a cook in the army.

But Xiao Bai took out a small bag containing more coins from his waist and threw it into Lao Litou's hand from the horse accurately: "Don't let you break the bank! This money can't be used, the rest is yours! Go and go back quickly!"

Lao Li Tou knew Xiao Bai's temperament, and it was particularly difficult to change what he had decided, so he hurriedly nodded and turned to leave.

The little white horse of Jiangfu shook his head unhappily in the hands of the little cavalry and shook the horse rope.

"Unexpectedly, this old Li still likes to ride horses, this horse is very expensive, and the saddle is also good. Xiao Bai rode on the tall horse, looked at the little white horse in front of him, which was not striking but had a beautiful saddle, and then came down, and seemed very interested in the horse, and then touched its mane, but the horse ignored him and avoided his petting.

"This horse is so bold that he dares to evade our officers. The little cavalryman leading the horse said sneeringly, and his words were full of sycophancy to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai laughed hehehe: "It's harmless, it's just a pony, it plays tricks on my cavalry team, see if I have a way, subdue it." "But all the horses that have been trained by Xiao Bai, there is not a single one who is disobedient, he himself has trained dozens of horses back and forth, and even every horse of their cavalry team is under his command, and there is no one who is disobedient, so this pony in front of him, he must be tame and restrain its temperament.

He took the horse rope from the hands of the little cavalryman and immediately stepped on it, he thought that the horse was just a little more expensive pony of Lao Li Tou, but he never saw the word Jiangfu in the saddle sewn with the strip of muslin.

The horse really didn't listen to him, and the one who shook his head and tail began to think about Xiao Bai and he threw him down, and the other small cavalry began to worry, and one even touched the shelled pistol on his waist.

Xiao Bai became more and more interested the more he played, he saw Lao Li Tou going to line up over there to buy steamed buns, and it was estimated that it would take a while to come back, so he simply clamped the horse between his legs, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and drank the horse to go, he wanted to tame this horse today, and play a little prestige.

But he didn't know that Lan Sheng, who was coming and walked quickly. She just brought a basket of vegetables, which she had just bought with money from the small vendor, and she also wanted to be filial to the master, but she didn't have any extra money in her hand, so she bought some vegetables for the master. If you only go back with the news and don't have any gifts in your hand, I'm afraid you will be laughed at by your brother again.

Xiao Bai rode this horse, but the more he fought, the more courageous he became, he scraped down the small baskets of several small vendors on the side of the road, but he didn't think so, because they all knew him, and no one dared to act rashly, nor did they dare to gossip behind his back.

But Lan Sheng suddenly walked out from the corner, and the horse suddenly turned a corner, and his feet were facing the sky, as if flying. Almost threw Xiao Bai to the ground, he grabbed the horse rope, and immediately wanted to scold the person in front of him, but in front of him was a young girl who was as beautiful as a flower.

His attitude reversed, and he didn't know whether to blame the person in front of him or himself, but neither of them seemed to be the main reason. So, he hurriedly quieted the horse, smiled at Lan Sheng, nodded, and didn't know how to answer.

There are beautiful girls nearby, but they are not as clean and pure as her, because the young ladies of the big families he has seen have all shown signs of beautification with a little powder, but this girl, plain-faced, is very exquisite, with perfect facial features and body in all aspects, just right, it seems to be the type he likes.

Lan Sheng saw this horse at a glance, and it turned out to be Jiang Cheng's horse.

When Young Master Jiang Cheng sent her back to Qi's house yesterday, he said as he walked that his saddle was marked and had the word Jiangfu, so this person knew that it was the Jiang family's horse, so why didn't he send it back to the Jiang family?

If you want to ride on the road, if you don't want to occupy this horse, what is the point?

Horse thief, Lan Sheng only had one thought in his mind......
