Shazhou Ranch is actually a grassland next to the Yongjiang River, which is not far from Dayong Nanyang Water Village, but now Hu Xiaotian and Dayong have signed an armistice agreement, although Dayong regime changes, but the two sides still strictly abide by the agreement, and there is no mutual violation of the border between each other, in fact, it is also related to Dayong is now mired in the quagmire of war, and the battle with the Black Hu people has made Dayong have no time to take care of other things, Xue Daohong is not a fool, he can't open up another battlefield while dealing with the Black Hu people.
Walking on this plain with fertile water and grass, people suddenly have a feeling of relaxation and openness.
Since the Tang family father and son defected to Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian handed over the task of domesticating military horses to them, this place was personally selected by Tang Wenzheng, Hu Xiaotian introduced the horses through various channels first to be sent here, domesticated by the Tang family father and son, and then sent to the army to be distributed to the cavalry.
In the eyes of the outside world, the most effective team under Hu Xiaotian is the Yongjiang Water Division, and in the past two years, Hu Xiaotian's cavalry strength has also been rapidly improved, which has a considerable relationship with the hard work of the Tang family's father and son.
When Hu Xiaotian landed at Shazhou Wharf, Tang Wenzheng came to greet him with his third son Tang Tiexin.
Seeing Hu Xiaotian coming, the father and son were very respectful.
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Uncle Tang, don't be polite to me, I and Tie Han and Tie Xin are all like brothers, if you are too polite, you will treat me as an outsider." ” Tang Wenzheng smiled, but he understood in his heart that this time was different from the past, the former gentleman of the Hubu Shangshu family has now become the overlord of the world, and he is the lord of the Tang family, he doesn't dare to treat him as a nephew, looking at the high-spirited Hu Xiaotian.
Tang Wenzheng couldn't help but think of the conflict that arose because of his daughter back then, and he couldn't imagine that the grievances between the two families could be resolved, and Hu Xiaotian didn't care about his previous suspicions, not only did he not retaliate against them, but also sheltered their family, which was already a great kindness.
Hu Xiaotian took the reins handed by Tang Tiexin.
Turned over a white horse, this horse is also the most miraculous horse in the recent horse farm of the night lion skull, handsome, snow-white coat, can not find a single miscellaneous hair on the body.
Hu Xiaotian turned over and got on the horse, accompanied by the father and son of the Tang family, and walked towards the racecourse, he said to Tang Tiexin: "I didn't see your two brothers" Tang Tiexin said with a smile: "Lord, my eldest brother and second brother have both gone to Wuxing County, and many horses have arrived there by sea recently.
They went to pick up the goods. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, and was about to ask Long Xiyue's whereabouts.
Tang Wenzheng guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess and the little girl went to Dingdong Spring to play, it is about ten miles away from here, is the lord going now?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No need, let's go and see the situation at your horse farm." ” Because it was approaching the harsh winter, and the Shazhou Horse Farm had also reached the dry grass season, Tang Wenzheng and his son took Hu Xiaotian to see the situation of the horses at the scene.
I went to the horse farm fence to observe the horse taming, and finally came to the forage field to check the forage stockpile.
Sandbank Horse Farm now has a total of 1,000 horses.
At its peak, it could hold two thousand horses, a figure that changed with the season and the quartermaster.
Tang Wenzheng said: "In fact, the best horse comes from the Yulan country, although the largest oasis in the Yulan country Langmu is less than one-tenth of its territory, but Langmu has the purest bloodline of the Lanma, this breed is hard-working, alert and flexible.
Whether it is a weight-bearing pull, or a long-distance run is beyond the ordinary horses too much, most of the horses we currently introduce are from the black beard, one side of the water and soil to raise a side of the special, although this kind of horse is tall.
It is also very capable of carrying weights, but it is far inferior to the Blue Horse in terms of speed. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Why don't you consider introducing it directly from the Yulan Country?"
Tang Wenzheng said with a smile: "The lord forgot that the westbound trade route was cut off by the gang of thieves in Xingzhou, they did things unprincipledly, burning, killing and looting were all evil, how could any businessman dare to pass by on this road" Hu Xiaotian nodded, Xingzhou Guo Guangbi These people have indeed become a cancer on the westbound passage, if they are not removed in time, it will definitely have an impact on their own development, thinking of the upcoming war, Hu Xiaotian has a few phases in his heart, hoping that the three of them will lose and lose, and then he will be able to take advantage of the fisherman.
When a few people were chatting, two horses in the distance came one after the other, in front of Long Xiyue, she rode a little gray, like a gray lightning, Tang Qingxuan, who was riding a jujube red horse behind, had been thrown out of a long distance, and when she walked in, she found that it was Hu Xiaotian who came, and she was pleasantly surprised to hold the reins of the horse.
Hu Xiaotian walked over, stretched out his hand, helped her off the horse, and said with a smile: "You had a lot of fun, it seems that you are going to forget about me." ” Long Xiyue smiled and said softly; "How is that possible?"
Xiao Ash saw that the master was also very affectionate, shaking the two big ears back and forth, Hu Xiaotian patted its head, at this time Tang Qingxuan had already caught up, seeing Hu Xiaotian's pretty face crimson, I don't know if it was because he was too busy or because he was shy, he whispered: "The lord is here" Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Miss Tang has seen me outside." ” Tang Qingxuan looked more and more embarrassed, at this time Tang Tiexin came to the side of a few people, but it was the beggar gang who came, Hu Xiaotian recognized it as Lu Sanfan, these beggar gang disciples were in Dongliang County two days ago, accompanying the Nine Bags Elder Xue Zhenhai to heal his injuries, Hu Xiaotian had dealt with them all, but they came to report the situation to the gang leader Long Xiyue this time.
Lu Sanban's face was not good-looking, and after seeing the salute, he said to Long Xiyue: "Helper, we didn't find any clues when we went to the area of Shajiao Town, but today I heard that the same door of Shao Yuan and Jingbian was attacked one after another, and three of them have been killed, including two Eight Bag Elders. ” Long Xiyue's heart sank when she heard this, and it was inconvenient for Hu Xiaotian to express his opinion when he listened to it, after all, he was just an outsider.
Long Xiyue said: "Have you found out who did it?"
Lu Sanfan said: "The condition of the deceased's injuries is different, two people were killed by hidden arrows, and one person was beheaded with a knife, according to the information we have so far, there may be people from the Sakura Palace who participated in the assassination." ” Long Xiyue said: "What do we have to do with the Falling Sakura Palace?"
Lu Sanfan said: "It has never happened in the past, but this matter is not yet certain, if it is found out that this matter is related to them, we will inevitably fall to the Sakura Palace." ” Long Xiyue said: "Let everyone be vigilant and find out the evidence as soon as possible." ” Lu Sanfan said: "Elder Qin has already arrived in Shajiao Town, and he asked me to report to the gang leader, hoping that the gang leader can take time to go to Shajiao Town to meet him today."
"The Elder Qin in his mouth is called Qin Yangming, he is the elder of the nine bags of the beggar gang, and he is also the chief helmsman of the beggar gang in Jiangbei, Qin Yangming's status in the beggar gang is very high, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, according to the Yongjiang River is divided into two major parts of the north and south, these two parts are managed by the gang leader, but they each have a great deal of independence, Qin Yangming is the chief helmsman of Jiangbei, which is equivalent to having the status of the deputy gang leader.
However, no matter how old Qin Yangming's qualifications are and how powerful he is, knowing that Long Xiyue has become the new leader of the beggar gang, he did not come to take the initiative to visit, but instead asked Long Xiyue to go to Shajiao Town to see him, which was rude in itself, Lu Sanban understood this truth, so his expression was somewhat embarrassed when he said this.
Hu Xiaotian was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't speak, he didn't want these beggar disciples to feel that he was meddling too much in the affairs of the beggar gang.
Long Xiyue pondered it and said, "You help me go back to Elder Qin, just say that I will go to Shajiao Town before the time." ” Lu Sanfan said: "Then the subordinate will go and report this matter to Elder Qin." ” After Lu Sanban left, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but say: "Xiyue, you shouldn't have agreed to go to Shajiao Town, then Qin Yangming is clearly deliberately making things difficult for you." ” Long Xiyue smiled and said: "Elder Qin is a senior in the gang, it is only natural for me to go to see him, and this place is a sandbar horse farm, Elder Qin may not be willing to come, Shajiao Town is not far from here, and it is the place where Elder Xue was attacked, I am also very curious about what happened that day." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "If you really want to go, I will accompany you." ” Long Xiyue nodded, but then shook her head again: "It's not good for you to go, will they think that you interfere too much in the affairs of the beggar gang?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll pretend to be your guard, anyway, no matter what happens, I won't say anything." ” Long Xiyue thought about it and finally agreed.
After lunch, Long Xiyue was escorted by six warriors to Shajiao Town, including Hu Xiaotian in disguise, Tang Qingxuan was responsible for guiding them, Shajiao Town was adjacent to Shazhou Racecourse, about twenty miles away from the living area of the racecourse.
Long Xiyue rushed to Shajiao Town as promised, as soon as she entered the town, Lu Sanban came to greet them, and took them to the Jia Ji Tofu Workshop in Shajiao Town, where Qin Yangming, the helmsman of the beggar gang Jiangbei, was sitting leisurely on the bench, lazily basking in the sun, dragging a cigarette pouch in his hand, squinting his eyes, and from time to time a puff of heavy white smoke came out.
Seeing the appearance of this guy, Hu Xiaotian understood that he was going to make things difficult for Long Xiyue today.
Seeing everyone coming, Qin Yangming knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, then stood up, walked towards Long Xiyue step by step, hugged his fist at her and said: "Qin Yangming see the gang leader" Long Xiyue has a dog beating stick and an iron rice bowl It is already a well-known fact in the beggar gang.
Even if Qin Yangming was not convinced in his heart, he had to admit her current status.
Long Xiyue smiled gently, "Elder Qin is polite. ” Qin Yangming's sharp gaze glanced at the people behind Long Xiyue and said, "The old man has a few words that he wants to say to the helper alone, and the others had better retreat." ” Get up in the morning and write a change first, the octopus is diligent enough, to be continued
