Chapter 589: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
"This is the stable, there are nearly two thousand Eli horses in it, all of them are villains who have gone through a lot of hardships, and it was not easy to steal them from Wusun Country, Lord Qincha, please!"
Bowing down and leading Wang Zhihong to the largest horse shed in the village, Li Jihe stretched out his hand to invite the two in, and his mouth began to complain: "Those turtle grandsons, their hearts are ruthless, among the horses sold to villains, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled, the prices are ridiculously expensive, an old horse, he dares to charge the villain five hundred yuan of silver, five hundred yuan, these money is left in Chang'an City, at least ten healthy horses can be bought, not only these, but also those three or two years of healthy horses"
"Okay, okay, you kid is here to talk to your master, Uncle Wang is here to see the horses, not to listen to you, hurry up and lead the way!" Gongsun Helan couldn't hear this the most, listening to Li Jihe's endless chatter, a slap came over, but the uncle Wang in his mouth was very affectionate, and there were some imperceptible smiles at the corners of his mouth from time to time.
"Eh, don't do it," Wang Zhihong kindly stretched out his hand to stop Gongsun Helan's movements, and said softly: "What does the master of the Ji field want to say, just speak directly, this mansion is here today, that is, with a comparison of eyes, two ears, that is, to listen and smell, hehe, the virtuous nephew is now letting the master of the Ji field shut up, then for the uncle's ears, won't it be idle?" ”
Seeing the casual actions and words between Gongsun Helan and Li Jihe, after receiving a slap from Gongsun Helan, Jihe's eyes did not show a trace of resentment and dissatisfaction, which made Wang Zhihong determine the idea that the two stinky boys had a relationship before, and there was some spectrum order in his heart.
"It's still the Qincha lord who is generous, and the villain is not welcome," Li Jihe replied, and after glancing at Gongsun Helan proudly, he greeted Wang Zhihong to go deep into the stable, pointing to the rows of horses in the stable that were either old or thin. He said to Wang Zhihong: "Lord Qincha, you see, these horses are the horses that the villain has spent a lot of effort and difficulties in the past year. Although old and weak, they are definitely authentic Elima. ”
"Huh?" Raised his eyes and looked into the stable that Li Jihe was pointing to. Wang Zhihong's brows couldn't help but lock tightly, skinny, toothless and hairless, and there was a danger that anyone riding on the ground would be crushed to the ground. What's the use of buying it? The fox turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Gongsun Helan and Li Jihe, these two boys. You're not teasing him, are you?
"What the Lord of the Chronicles said is true." Wang Zhihong stepped forward, stretched out his hand and stroked an old horse with no hair around his neck, and said in a loud voice: "These horses are indeed Yili horses, but these horses can't move, they can't be born and raised, what is the use of buying them?" The owner of the game is not like the kind of person who will make a loss-making deal. ”
"Lord Chincha's discerning eyes," he slapped a fart very directly. Li Jihe leaned in front of Wang Zhihong with a shy face. Said: "This is exactly what the little people want to know with Lord Qincha, the reason why the villain will buy these useless old horses and sick horses." In addition to being troubled by the bastards of the Wusun Kingdom, the main thing is that the villain wants to drive a real healthy horse and stallion, so that the ranch can also raise Yili horses independently in the future. ”
"Chincha-sama, please!" Putting aside the old, weak, sick and disabled in front of him, Li Jihe stretched out his hand again and asked Wang Zhihong to go inside.
"Oh, could it be that there is any mystery in this?" Wang Zhihong raised his eyebrows, took out a white silk embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the hot sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and covered his mouth and nose with a small cover of the stench and stuffy air in the stable. And Gongsun Helan, this kid, refused to go deeper on the grounds that the young master couldn't stand this sin, so he turned around and went out directly, standing in front of a gazebo outside the stable, drinking herbal tea and waiting.
"Young Master Helan, I don't know what to call the little one, what are your orders?" Got the letter, Wang An, the master of the middle ground of the pasture, walked over in a hurry, bowed down in the pavilion and saluted Gongsun Helan, between the words, it was a kind of self-respect. Not to mention the identity of Gongsun Helan as the eldest young master of the Gongsun family, just for the sake of his relationship with the young master of their family, Wang An did not dare to slack off in the slightest. has been away from Sanyuan for so long, Wang An's mind has always been in Liufu, and he has always thought that he is still a subordinate of Liufu.
"Well, okay, okay, don't be polite to me here, sit down and talk first!" Raising his eyes and glancing at Wang An, Gongsun Helan waved his hand to signal Wang An to sit next to him, with a slight smile on his face, for Wang An, a loyal little horseman, Gongsun Helan was also very happy, and during this time, he was quite close to him.
"Hey, the villain listens to Young Master Helan, thank you Young Master Helan for giving me a seat!" has been in contact with Gongsun Helan for a long time, and Wang An has also touched the temper of this grandfather, knowing that he doesn't like to be polite with others, so in front of Gongsun Heland, he seems to be very casual, responded, and after bending over and bowing, he bent over and sat down in front of Gongsun Helan's legs, looked up at Gongsun Helan, and asked again: "I don't know if Young Master Helan summoned the villain over, what are your orders?" ”
"There is nothing to tell or not to order, come, drink a bowl of herbal tea to quench your thirst first, and in a while Young Master Ben has something to ask you." Looking at this little groom who didn't even look at the former Sanyuan, Gongsun Helan poured a cup of tea for him with a pot, with a smile on his face, I don't know if he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, or was touched by the loyalty of this little guy, anyway, how does Gongsun Helan look at Wang An now, how does he feel pleasing to the eye, and he is happy in his heart.
"Young Master Helan, you said," took the tea bowl with both hands, Wang An leaned over to Gongsun Helan and said, "The villain must know everything!" ”
"Well," took a sip of the bowl, Gongsun Helan glanced up at Wang An, pointed back to the stable behind him, and said, "What's going on with those old horses in this stable?" When Young Master Ben came before, it seemed that he had never seen it? ”
"Back to Young Master Helan," slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and unexpectedly glanced up at Gongsun Helan, Wang An replied respectfully: "Young Master Helan is not an outsider, it doesn't hurt to really tell you," turned his head and looked at the stable behind him, Wang An continued: "These old horses are all bargains that the owner asks for every time he enters the horse, and they are not worth a few dollars, but the owner has always said that these horses are kept for reuse, so they are all hidden, and Young Master Helan has not seen them before, and it is normal." ”
Seeing it, he raised his head and glanced at Gongsun Helan, and Wang Anxin thought that with this master's temperament, he would definitely not take it to heart for those inconspicuous old horses.
"You mean these horses are all given away for free?" Gongsun Helan took a sip of tea in his mouth and didn't squirt out, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the stable, remembering the words that Li Jihe and Fang had just said to Wang Zhihong, and his expression of grievance, so he laughed, he really didn't see it before, that Li Jihe was such a cunning person.
"Young Master Helan, who are you?" was a little confused by Gongsun Helan's unprovoked laughter, Wang An asked Gongsun Helan in a loud voice, some old and weak horses are just laughing, as for laughing like this?
"Didn't your owner give you an explanation? Today, a messenger from Chang'an City came to look for and inspect the horses in this Yantian pasture," Stopping his laughter, Gongsun Helan asked Wang An in a loud voice: "What arrangements have you made for the ten thousand Eli horses transported from Wusun Kingdom?" ”
"Returning to Young Master Helan," knowing that Gongsun Helan is not an outsider, and he is quite familiar with the owner of their family, and knows a lot of inside information in this ranch, Wang An did not hide much from him, and directly replied to Gongsun Helan: "There are five hundred healthy horses, which were brought to this stable by the owner of our family, and they are hidden in the innermost. The remaining 9,000 or so horses had all been dyed with a little paint and slightly packaged last night, and now those horses were no different from those ordinary horses in the horse market. If Young Master Helan wants to see it, the villain will take you there. ”
"It's just that nearly half of those horses have not yet conceived, and the guys are busy working there," Knowing Gongsun Helan's temperament, he hated dirty places the most, so Wang An explained in advance, lest after a while, this young master will be racing and looking for trouble for himself.
"Well, that's okay," Listening to Wang An's novelty, Gongsun Helan was a little interested, and was about to get up, and heard these words again, thinking about the dirty scenes and bad smells of those horses mating, those interests that just came dissipated without a trace, lifted a little **, and squatted down again.
But now, he can be regarded as understanding what kind of medicine Li Jihe is selling in this stuffy gourd, hiding from the world, crying for grievances and crying poor, but this trick, why does it feel so familiar?
The corners of Gongsun Helan's mouth slowly hooked, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face at the same time, no need to guess, he knew who this method came from.
"Come on, come on, this young master is happy today, let's replace wine with tea and meet a cup!" Picking up the tea bowl, Gongsun Helan raised the bowl and touched Wang An, who was stunned, and then raised his neck heroically and poured it, and the bowl of tea suddenly disappeared.
It's a pity that the top-grade Sanyuan tea of our owner, but it's a pity to look at Gongsun Helan's tea bowl that has seen the bottom, and Wang An also tilted his neck unceremoniously
