Volume 51 Galloping Horses

There is only a month left before the assessment date of Qingyangmen, and Ming Xuan has only walked half of the distance now, which means that there are still nearly 10,000 miles away! This is not a short road, even if it is calculated every day, it will have to travel at least 300 miles a day, can it not make Ming Xuan anxious?

Yes, after getting the affirmative answer of Master Zhide, Ming Xuan didn't have any heart to listen to him, and immediately without saying a word, he immediately ran down the mountain, and even Xiong Si didn't have time to say goodbye, so he hurried to the inn and rode his horse to gallop; After all, time waits for no one! If you miss this year's selection, you can only wait until next year, and then Ming Xuan will be fifteen years old, which means that it will be Ming Xuan's last chance, and there is no way out.

Fortunately, when he "communicated" with Gongsun Liang at Gongsun's horse farm, the foot strength of the horse he got was very strong, and he could be regarded as a good horse, plus Mingxuan's riding skills have also improved by leaps and bounds, and there is no big problem to run four or five hundred miles every day, but you can't run like this every day, if you want to run like this for a month, people will not be able to stand it, not to mention the horse that has to carry people to run?

However, time is in a hurry, Ming Xuan has to find a way while walking, fortunately, the rest of the distance is relatively flat, conducive to riding, in order to save some body for the horse, Ming Xuan often first rides a horse and runs for a distance, and then jumps down when there is no one, and runs with the horse, so it is really a practice of footwork, but this only plays a role in some relief, after running for four or five days in a row, the horse gradually loses weight, and it seems that it is a little unbearable.

"In the past ten days, although I have run nearly four thousand miles, but this horse obviously can't stand it, it is estimated that I will be tired to death if I run like this for a few days, without a horse, it is an empty talk to rush to Qingyang Mountain as scheduled, let alone participate in the assessment. Ming Xuan was quite anxious, this horse had been with Ming Xuan for so long, and he still had some feelings, and he didn't want to torture it like this, but now is an extraordinary time, so he can only weigh it.

"Boss, just fry a few side dishes for me, but be fast!" Before entering the door, Ming Xuan began to yell at the boss, now he is racing against time to grab time, on the way of this run, he has not even entered the city again, so as not to have more obstacles in the city, which is not conducive to wasting time, so as to run around the city directly, hoping to save more time, and eating is even more popular, and he doesn't know what to eat after eating.

"Okay, right away!" the guest officer waits for a moment. "The shopkeepers are all shrewd people who observe words and feelings, and when they saw that Mingxuan was so anxious, they knew that he was in a hurry, so they immediately arranged it.

"Shopkeeper, also feed my horse some grass and water, thank you. Ming Xuan hurriedly instructed, only by eating, running and drinking can you have the strength to run.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you right away!" The shopkeeper is mostly a Lisuo person, so he went to arrange it when he was busy.

After ten days of running, he almost didn't exhaust Ming Xuan to death, he sat on the back of the horse all day long, the whole skeleton was about to be shaken apart, the pain was unbearable, not to mention, even the usual good appetite was gone, he picked up two mouthfuls of food at will, and he couldn't eat anymore, as strong as Ming Xuan was already like this, the situation of the horse was even more conceivable, thinking of this, Ming Xuan didn't rush to leave after eating, or rest for a while and then go, how to let the horse slow down.

"Guest officer, there is a little one who doesn't know whether to say it or not. The shopkeeper walked over and said with a hesitant face.

"Oh, what's the matter with you? Ming Xuan said in surprise.

"When I went to feed you, the horse was foaming at the mouth, and the grass and water had not moved, and it seemed that he was too tired to do so. This is not the store's business, but the shopkeeper is obviously still more distressed about the horse, and can't help but say.

"Alas, I also know this, I've been in a hurry lately, so I'm riding in a hurry, and I can't help it. "Mingxuan is also very heartbroken, such a toss is indeed a bit inhumane.

"If it goes on like this, I won't see it in a few days, and your horse will be exhausted to death!" said the shopkeeper, who seemed to be a person who knew horses.

"What can I do? I don't want to be so tired of it. Ming Xuan was also a little anxious, he had some premonitions, but he didn't expect it to be so strict.

"If you're really in a hurry, I'd better buy another one, this horse really can't run like this. The shopkeeper said kindly.

"Actually, that's what I wanted, but I just didn't know where to sell horses. In fact, Mingxuan had already had this plan, but he had never seen a racecourse on the way, and he also asked along the way, either there was none, or he wanted to take a long detour, and Mingxuan had been put on hold.

"Oh, I know one of the racecourse, it's not far from us, I see you're from the south, you just need to continue along the official road, about ten miles away, and then pay attention to your right-hand side, and there will be a huge signboard with the words Shuntong Racecourse, and that's where the racecourse is located." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

"That's great, thank you little brother!, this is the food money, the more is the little brother's reward!" Ming Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately put down a piece of silver, and rode away on a horse.

"This guest officer is really impatient, but he is quite generous!" the shopkeeper weighed the silver and smiled all over his face.

......

Changing horses can be regarded as Ming Xuan's top priority at present, if he wants to complete the journey of nearly six thousand miles in the remaining twenty days, it is still a difficult task, so changing into a strong and energetic horse is a top priority, where can Ming Xuan hesitate for half a day, he can't wait to change it now and continue to move forward.

The shopkeeper really didn't deceive him, Ming Xuan rode for more than ten miles and found the flag of the horse farm, a huge signboard was waving in the wind, it looked very atmospheric, it seems that this horse farm is very large-scale, Ming Xuan couldn't help but be happy, because this also means that Ming Xuan can choose a good horse here for himself to finish the distance.

Although he had been resting for a while, but he had only just run for more than ten miles, Ming Xuan felt that the horse was already wheezing, and his legs were also a little weak, and he looked very tired, it seemed that it was indeed difficult to continue running, and if he continued to run like this, he might really be tired to death, it was now seriously injured, and what it needed was to recuperate for a while, and it was really not suitable to continue to run.

The location of the horse farm is very good, built close to the mountain, there is a small lake next to it, with the mountain and water, surrounded by an open meadow, the environment is very beautiful, there is fresh tender grass everywhere, nourishing countless horses here, the horses are fat and strong, and you know that it is a rare good horse at a glance.

"Is anyone there?" said the horse farm was very open, with a few tents set up in the middle, presumably a temporary residence for the wranglers.

"Young man, is there anything wrong with you?" Out of the tent came a sturdy middle-aged man, holding a smoking gun and wearing a sheep's jacket, his face full of weather, dressed like a typical wrangler.

"Hello uncle, I want to buy a horse from you. Mingxuan was also polite, and said straight to the point.

"Oh, well, come with me. As soon as the man saw that there was business coming to the door, he immediately said with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man led Ming Xuan to the center of the horse farm, and there were sturdy horses everywhere, running or running, some were drinking water, some were eating grass, and there were countless of them, and Ming Xuan's eyes were spent, and he didn't know which horse to pick.

"Uncle, I don't know how to watch horses, so you can help me pick one," Ming Xuan saw that the middle-aged man was also more sincere, so he simply told the truth.

"That's okay, what do you want?" the man agreed, asking Mingxuan.

"Uh, the request? It must be a good horse. Ming Xuan was confused by his question, since he came to buy a horse, naturally he was to buy a good horse, can there be any requirements for this.

"Young man, no one is different, this horse will also be different, whether it is a good horse, it depends on how you define it, you can look at it, you can look at it, do you want to be handsome, or do you want to be strong, or thin and dexterous, and you can also divide it in terms of ability, you want to be good at sprinting, or tolerant of weights, or good at running. These are all different, and it depends on what you need. "When it comes to horses, middle-aged men are connoisseurs, and they talk about one set of things.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to run six thousand miles in twenty days, and I need a horse that can stand it, and nothing else. Mingxuan told the truth and said his requirements for the middle-aged man's reference.

"Running 6,000 miles in 20 days! It seems that you want a horse that must not only be good at running, but also have good endurance, which is really not something that ordinary horses can have. The middle-aged man couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"I also know this, so I'm bothering my uncle to think of a way!. When Ming Xuan saw the middle-aged man, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but worry for a while, and he couldn't help but treat him.

"Why is this happening, don't worry, I mean it's a little difficult, but I didn't say no, it's just that the price will be higher. Seeing that Ming Xuan was so anxious, the middle-aged man laughed.

"Yes? That's great! As long as there are such good horses, money is not a problem! Thank you uncle!" Ming Xuan was overjoyed and said busily.

"Hmph! Even if we have a horse in the racecourse, we won't sell you such a bastard!" Just as Ming Xuan was happy, a Qingyue female voice came from behind, with a loud whip sound, and attacked Ming Xuan fiercely!
