Chapter 017: The road to the capital is uneven

Three poles on the sun. On the official road, pedestrians are already bustling and lively, as if they don't care about the coolness of this February day.

Wang Yuelong, dressed in gold, is currently riding a golden thunder god horse, handsome and heroic; Hou Xiaohu, dressed in black, is riding a high-headed horse with a black body, with a serious face and a cold and arrogant face.

Between the two, it was a four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses. It's just that the carriage is not controlled by a groom, and the reins of the traction are actually hung on Thor's saddle at will, and the two maroon horses leading the carriage are also very obedient to follow Thor's progress.

In the carriage was the beautiful "Frost Fairy" Su Ningshuang.

It turned out that just half an hour ago, Wang Yuelong, Su Ningshuang and Hou Xiaohu walked along the official road and came to a small market town.

The three children had been walking for more than an hour, and they had long felt hungry, so they first found a place to eat some breakfast and put on a mat, and then the three of them went shopping in this bustling and lively market, by the way to see if there were any small merchants and vendors selling transportation.

In the bazaar, there are crowds, mixed fish eyes, petty theft, forced buying and selling, and bullying and ruffians, naturally there will be no less.

However, Wang Yuelong was dressed in gold, with a noble temperament, and was a wealthy child; Su Ningshuang was dressed in white, beautiful and fluttering; Hou Xiaohu was dressed in black and held a long knife in his arms, and he was cold and difficult to approach.

The unique momentum of the three of them made those who had bad intentions, although they knew that the three of them, especially Wang Yuelong, must be a big fish, but they never dared to start.

The only daring ruffian, who wanted to tease Su Ningshuang, who was elegant and soft, and looked like a fairy, just opened his mouth to say a word, and was directly kicked by Hou Xiaohu and broke his leg bone.

That ruffian is still a notorious guy in the bazaar, and there are more than a dozen people under him, who want to rush up to avenge the boss, but Hou Xiaohu didn't even use his hands, so he kicked all of them with broken arms and legs, and fled in embarrassment.

Hou Xiaohu's ruthless attack shocked the remaining people with bad intentions. And after this gang of ruffians was cleaned up, there were small merchants and hawkers who were oppressed by them, and they were very enthusiastic to point out the location of the horse dealers to Wang Yuelong and the others.

The horse dealer brought a dozen horses to the little bazaar to sell, and among them were a few of them with bright coats, tall and robust bodies, and handsome spirits.

But there was a bit of a commotion. The source of this commotion is the golden god horse thunder god who Wang Yuelong has raised since he was a child, and was scolded by Hou Xiaohu as a "full color horse", and is now being ridden by Su Ningshuang.

From it swaggering, After approaching the place where the horses were sold with their heads held high, the dozen or so horses behind the horse dealer all let out a low neighing in panic, and several of them were inexplicably squeezing straight into the pile, and without exception, all the horses, whether they had their heads held high or those who had bowed their heads to eat, all trembled and hung their heads, as if a king of horses was approaching them, so that these horses felt the pressure of the superior on the one hand and panicked, and on the other hand, they expressed their submission to the kingใ€‚

This situation was not only surprised by Wang Yuelong, Su Ningshuang, and Hou Xiaohu, who didn't know much about horses, but even the horse dealer was very surprised by this situation.

He didn't care about business anymore, so he left Wang Yuelong and the three to comfort those horses. These horses are the foundation of his footing, and if something happens to these babes, there will be no way to talk about business.

Su Ningshuang was smart, and when she saw the triumphant appearance of the thunder god Ma, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and told Wang Yuelong her guess. Wang Yuelong raised the Thunder God Horse since he was a child, and he suspected that this guy who claimed to have the blood of the Divine Dragon was making trouble, but at this time, after listening to Su Ningshuang's speculation, he looked at the Thunder God again, and scolded the Thunder God in his heart.

Thor can not listen to anyone, but Wang Yuelong's words, it can't pay attention to it, and was scolded by the young man, and obediently put away the smug look.

And strange to say, as soon as the Thor-horse was not funny, the horse dealer's horses were no longer panicked and scared, and the horses regained their own calm. The horse dealer was confused.

Wang Yuelong and Su Ningshuang didn't break it, Hou Xiaohu still held the knife and pretended to be cold, and the three of them chose the horse together under the guidance of the horse dealer who was still a little puzzled.

However, as if he was aware of it, the horse dealer glanced at the silent Thor-Ma on the side, but he had some understanding in his heart.

Without Thor's trouble, the horse selection behind will be very smooth.

Hou Xiaohu, who likes black, fell in love with a horse with a pure black body and a strong physique at a glance. And coincidentally, this pure black horse was the calmest one when Thor was secretly making trouble before. Although he was a little panicked, the black horse did not look for a place to hide like the other horses, but stood firmly in place.

Such a good horse is naturally unruly, and the price is naturally not cheap. However, money is a number for Wang Yuelong, a big family, and after the horse dealer said a number, he didn't bargain, threw down the same silver ticket, and said to Hou Xiaohu, who was bent on taming the horse, and left first with Su Ningshuang.

Su Ningshuang didn't like to ride horses very much, and Wang Yuelong felt that none of the horses here could match Su Ningshuang's dusty, beautiful and quiet temperament, so he simply went to buy a carriage with Su Ningshuang.

As for Hou Xiaohu, if he can't even handle a horse, then Wang Yuelong may no longer care about his business.

Bringing Hou Xiaohu with him, he may not want him to help, but he must not let Hou Xiaohu help.

Fortunately, this bazaar is not big, but the goods are very complete, Wang Yuelong and Su Ningshuang did not look for too long, and found a relatively medium goods store.

Under the attack of the young man without counting the silver tickets, it didn't take much effort for Wang Su and the others to buy a more luxurious and comfortable two-horse four-wheeled carriage. According to the shopkeeper, this is the most luxurious carriage in their shop.

Originally, according to the meaning of the shopkeeper of the goods store, this carriage needed to be equipped with a coachman. However, Wang Yuelong didn't really want to find another man, especially an old man to follow, plus as soon as Thor came out, the two big horses pulling the cart didn't listen to the instructions of the experienced old coachman who was matched by the goods dealer, but Thor snorted casually, and the two horses were very obedient to follow the instructions that everyone didn't understand.

This was not only an eye-opener for Wang and Su, but even the shopkeeper of the goods store and the old coachman were dumbfounded.

In this way, there was a miraculous carriage without a coachman, driven by another large horse.

And when Wang Su and the others returned to find Hou Xiaohu, Hou Xiaohu also successfully tamed the pure black horse, and gave the horse the name "Black Wind".

So the woman and the two men continued on the road again.

"There's a small river ahead. Let's rest here and cross the river, shall we?" Seeing that not far in front of him was a small river that was not very wide, Wang Yuelong, who was going first, proposed.

Coming out of that small market, it was about an hour away, it was ten in the middle of the day, and it was the time when people were sleepy and needed to take a temporary rest, Wang Yuelong's proposal, Hou Xiaohu, who was behind, nodded, and agreed.

Su Ningshuang has been sitting in the carriage, fortunately, the road is plain, there are no bumps, she naturally does not feel tired, but the two teenagers feel that they need to take a break, so she naturally has no objection.

Found a relatively flat place by the river, parked the two horses and the carriage, Wang Yuelong helped Su Ningshuang to get out of the carriage, and in his hand was the fairy's soft and fragrant jade arm, the young man was distracted for a while, but he forgot to let go.

"Brother Dragon, Brother Dragon. Su Ningshuang was not annoyed, but looked at Wang Yuelong dotingly, and called him softly.

Wang Yuelong reacted suddenly, quickly let go of Su Ningshuang's jade arm, and apologized repeatedly. Su Ningshuang couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this, and laughed softly. And Wang Yuelong touched the back of his head blankly, and smirked with Su Ningshuang.

Such handsome men and beautiful women, among the trees of this small river, form a wonderful picture.

Of course, if the water in this small river was bigger and the woods were greener, the picture would be better.

Hou Xiaohu held his treasure knife, silently walked directly to the edge of the river, squatted down and held a handful of cold water and slapped it on his face, and then let the water droplets slide down his face, stunned.

Seeing Hou Xiaohu like this, Wang Yuelong and Su Ningshuang also temporarily put aside each other's emotional exchanges, glanced at each other, and the two of them also walked to the small river together.

A gust of north wind blew suddenly, Su Ningshuang and Hou Xiaohu's expressions changed at the same time, and Wang Yuelong's expressions became serious at the same time after sniffing it.

Just because, in this cold wind, there is a faint smell of blood, although this smell of blood is very light, if you don't smell it carefully, you can't notice it at all.

It's just that Su Ningshuang and Hou Xiaohu are both people who have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, so they can easily smell this faint blood. Especially Hou Xiaohu experienced the pain of the destruction of the family, and he even smelled it earlier than Su Ningshuang.

"North, something happened. Wang Yuelong and the three of them got together, and Hou Xiaohu on the left said coldly, his eyes were always staring at the north, and the treasure knife in his hand was also placed in front of his abdomen, and he could draw the knife at any time.

"Let's go check it out. Wang Yuelong in the center is a fledgling and is at an age when he is not afraid of anything, but at this moment, he has a faint excitement in his serious expression.

Su Ningshuang's beautiful and beautiful face was indifferent, not as excited as Wang Yuelong, not as serious as Hou Xiaohu, and just quiet. And her eyes flowed, and she paused from Wang Yuelong and then moved away, without speaking, but agreed with Wang Yuelong's thoughts.

Hou Xiaohu turned his head and glanced at Su Ningshuang, and agreed.
