After appeasing Cui Boyuan, Bai Cheng took a few people to the south of the city, and after walking a few steps, Boss Gao caught up and said, "Brother Eleven, this road is not in the direction of Gaojiazhai. ”

Cui Boyuan also asked, Gaojiazhai is in the north of the city, why did the brothers go to the south of the city?

Bai Cheng laughed and said, "Second brother, you are now a character who wants to be the master of an altar, how can you go on foot, of course you have to buy a good horse to go over." ”

Cui Boyuan waved his hand again and again, saying that this is absolutely unacceptable, the master gave money to let them go to Gaojiazhai to recruit the sect, how dare they use it to buy horses.

Seeing that Cui Boyuan was sincere in refusing, Bai Cheng asked a few hunters to stand aside, pulled Cui Boyuan to the side of the road, and said, "Second brother just said that he would listen to me on this trip, why do you want to make another idea in a blink of an eye?"

Cui Boyuan said: "I know that you are for the good of the second brother, but we don't have much money, so how can we spend it all on me." ”

Bai Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the Gao family brothers, and said, "Second brother, have you ever thought that they were also evangelists before, and everywhere they went, everyone respected them, why was Gao Taigong driven out as soon as he died?"

Cui Boyuan said that naturally made them have no money and no food, and they were lonely, and they were forced by Niutouzhai to survive.

Bai Cheng waved his hand and said that this is not the reason, first talk about money and food, since ancient times, the Taoists have worshiped the Daomen, how can there be a Taoist to worship the Taoists, otherwise the Daomen even if there is more land, how can it be enshrined in the world;

Cui Boyuan said: "Eleven Lang said the same, so why were they kicked out?"

Bai Cheng Zhengse said: "Just because the people of the world, more afraid of power but not virtue, greedy for profit but not righteousness, you and I go, even if the tongue is a lotus, it will not help, only with the power of thunder to suppress it, and then slowly lure it with heavy profits, coercion and temptation, can it be done." ”

Cui Boyuan thought for a while and said, "What Shiyi Lang said also makes sense, but what does this have to do with buying a horse?"

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven takes the four seas as his home, and it is not magnificent and powerful, let alone you and me?"

Cui Boyuan sighed and said, although I don't understand it very well, I always feel that it seems to be very powerful.

Bai Cheng saw that Cui Boyuan had been persuaded, and took a few people to the south of the city first.

Qingyang Mansion is an important town in the southwest, and has the important task of supplying war horses to Hongni Pass, so the mule and horse market is more prosperous than other prefecture cities, and the horse dealers from the south to the north come in and out, and they are sweating like rain.

Although Cui Boyuan didn't want to buy it just now, but standing at the gate of the mule and horse market at the moment, he just smirked, looking at the passing horses and his eyes lit up, he envied others riding horses since he was a child, but the family had no money, so he had to hide this wish in his heart.

Seeing that his face was full of joy, Bai Cheng asked, "Which horse does the second brother have a crush on?"

Cui Boyuan pointed and said, "That's the horse!"

Bai Cheng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that it was a red-maned fierce horse, this horse was more than a zhang long from head to tail, from hooves to back was eight feet, the whole body was fiery red without half a stray hair, and the saddle was immediately carved with fine workmanship, standing tall and standing tall.

Bai Cheng smiled and said, "Second brother, why don't you ask the price?"

Cui Boyuan patted his head, and ran to the horse dealer to ask the price, but it didn't take much effort, and he walked back dejectedly.

Bai Cheng smiled: "Why doesn't the second brother buy it?"

Cui Boyuan said with a sad face: "That horse is asking for five hundred taels of silver, and it has been asked for by Zhou Dingyuan, the guard of the city. ”

Bai Cheng smiled: "Second brother, don't be discouraged, since the second brother likes it, I will help the second brother buy it sooner or later, but at the moment, we don't have enough money, I'll go inside to help the second brother pick something else." ”

After saying that, Bai Cheng walked towards the mule and horse market.

As soon as Baicheng left, it was an hour, and several people were waiting outside the Luoma City with dry mouths, especially those hunters in Gaojiazhai, who hurried over before dawn in the morning, which would still be water and rice without teeth, and the hunger and thirst in their stomachs were like thunder.

Several people were waiting anxiously, and suddenly saw Bai Cheng walking out of the mule and horse market, and there was a black horse behind him, this horse had a bright coat, full of spirit, and a mass of black all over his body, only four hooves were snow-white, and there was a name called "Dark Cloud Treading Snow", and immediately a pair of saddle pigtails were made of three-layer cooked cowhide, which was much stronger than the red horse just now.

Bai Cheng put the horse forward, patted his neck and asked, "Second brother, what do you think of this horse?"

Cui Boyuanru pointed to the horse in a dream and asked, "Brother, how much silver does this horse cost?

Bai Cheng said in his heart, but you can do business, and you will sell all these people with one mouth, but you will take the two of us out.

Bai Cheng smiled and said, "It's not expensive, even the horse and saddle are only sixty taels of silver." ”

When Cui Boyuan heard this, he was amazed, or did he say that brother, you will bargain, and you are worthy of being a businessman.

Cui Boyuan was happy in his heart, touched the mane of the horse, and said, "Eleven Lang, but I don't know how strong this horse's feet are? ”

Bai Cheng stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Second brother, this horse is fine, but it has an injury on its back and can't ride, if you really want to ride, you can only move forward slowly, you can't run." ”

Cui Boyuan almost collapsed when he heard this, with an expression that you are playing with me.

Seeing his depressed face, Bai Cheng said: "Second brother, you and I are just going, people use horses to deter Xiaoxiao, do you really want to ride a horse to fight?

When Cui Boyuan heard this, he had to give up, sighed, and led the horse to follow Baicheng away.

Bai Cheng left the horse market with a few people, returned to the main street, and when he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder, looked up and saw that the sky was clear, and when he looked back, he saw that Boss Gao and others were full of shame, and immediately took a few people to find a restaurant, asked for a table of good wine and food, and had a big meal.

The brothers of the Gao family haven't eaten enough for a few days, so they don't stop adding food and vegetables, and a meal costs three or four taels of silver, and Cui Boyuan sees that the silver money is spent like flowing water.

After eating a meal, Bai Cheng took a few people, each bought a brocade robe, and went to the antique store to buy a jade pendant, asked Cui Boyuan to put it away, bypassed a street, bought some pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the bookstore, and bought a cooked copper stick in the armory shop, before going on the road.

Soon after the men left the city, it was already dark.

Boss Gao saw that the time was not early, so he said: "Brother Eleven, it's not early, we have to go quickly, otherwise it will be the second half of the night to rush back to the village." ”

Bai Cheng glanced at him and said, "People can go fast, what about horses? ”

Cui Boyuan was waiting for the black horse in the back, like serving the uncle, he was already unhappy in his heart, and he heard Bai Cheng say in front of him, because the horse couldn't go fast and he had to stay in the hotel, he was furious in his heart, and wanted to stretch out his legs to kick the horse, but seeing that the horse's hooves were the size of a bowl, he wanted to kick it himself, so he had to give up secretly.

The road from Qingyang Mansion to Gaojiazhai, although it is sparsely populated, is also an important road, and there are many wine shops and inns on both sides of the road.

After a while, Bai Cheng saw a wine flag hanging in the distance, so he took a few people to rush to the flag, not long after, he saw an inn, the front of the inn hung a signboard, on the book "Baiyun Inn" four big characters, a black lacquer long pole in front of the door hung a wine flag, full of three zhang high, in front of the inn is a two-story small building, behind is a small courtyard.

When the shopkeeper saw a few people entering the door, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Are you a few people or do you live in the store?"

Bai Cheng said, "Stay in the hotel." ”

The shopkeeper took a look, only to see Bai Cheng and Cui Boyuan still back, although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they led a good horse, followed by these ragged people, if they didn't enter the door together, they almost blasted out as beggars, and said: "But I don't know if a few people live in a single room or a shop?"

Bai Cheng raised his eyebrows, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "What a single room, open eight upper rooms for me!"

Bai Cheng was full of momentum this time, and the shopkeeper and Cui Boyuan next to him were shocked, the shopkeeper had never seen a poor man like this and had to go to the house, Cui Boyuan knew that he had the last ten taels of silver left on his body, and if he spent it, he would not even have the money for food tomorrow morning.

Seeing the silver slapped on the table, the shopkeeper said with a wry smile: "I don't know, there are only two upper rooms left in our store now, but we can't accommodate so many people?"

Bai Cheng frowned and said, why can't I live, one finger Cui Boyuan, I have one upper room with him, and the other six brothers have one upper room.

A few people came to the room, and Bai Cheng asked the shopkeeper to fetch water and let the Gao brothers take a good bath.

After the order, Bai Cheng and Cui Boyuan also went back to the room to rest, Cui Boyuan walked for a long time, he was already tired, and he fell asleep after lying on the bed for a short time.

Bai Cheng pulled him to buy a horse and live in a store today, all in order to drag down the pace of a few people, and now seeing him sleeping deeply, he smiled lightly, lightly tapped Cui Boyuan's temple with one finger, turned around, pushed open the window, and saw that the sky was full of stars outside the window, and the night was thick.
