Xianzhou is far away from Liuzhong, more than a thousand miles. It is impossible for Xiao Yueming to walk such a distance on his legs, so he plans to buy a horse and change his clothes. What just happened is a lesson.

This dress is too eye-catching.

In a tailor shop in the western suburbs, he selected a set of ready-made clothes, spent two taels of silver, and walked out of the shop. Xiao Yueming has now changed drastically.

Wearing a black robe that fits tightly against the body, with crimson embroidery on the placket and cuffs, his long shawl hair is tied up casually with a black cloth, Qingyuan is slumped behind him, looking like a standard knight.

Xiao Yueming is now less elegant than a young man from an aristocratic family, and more ruthless and capable than a knight-errant.

Compared with other areas, the eastern part of the western suburbs is much more prosperous. There are tea stalls, inns, pawn shops, and many people from all walks of life carrying baggage coming and going. Xiao Yueming is one of them. After leaving half a street, Xiao Yueming stopped outside a shop.

Next, I looked up and saw the plaque saying: Wanli Horse Shop.

I walked into the store and was greeted by a waiter and the boss.

"Hey, this guest, do you want to buy a horse? The horses in my shop are all imported from the Western Regions, and the quality is second to none. The plaque of this Wanli Horse Shop has opened several branches throughout Zhongzhou. Absolutely

Guaranteed.”

The shop owner is a lean middle-aged man with a sallow complexion. He looks like his body has been hollowed out all year round. There is a shrewd look in his small eyes.

"I want to buy a horse. Do you have any good horses? Take me to see them." Xiao Yueming said to the shop owner.

When the shop owner heard that this was an owner who wanted to buy a good horse, he immediately looked happy and quickly led Xiao Yueming to a stable. This stable occupied a large area and had dozens of horses. It looked quite formal.

"Sir, where are you going? I can give you some advice."

"I'm going to Xianzhou, do you have any good recommendations?" Xiao Yueming knew that he couldn't reveal his whereabouts easily outside, but now that he was new to the world, he didn't have any enemies. Besides, even if he was in trouble, he could do it with his own strength.

To save the day, I happen to not know much about horses, so I can let the shop owner recommend me.

"Oh? Let's go to Xianzhou. It's about a thousand miles away. We must buy a good horse. Ermao, go to the stable behind to get the horse."

The shop owner quietly winked at the waiter named Ermao next to him, who understood and trotted towards the stable.

Naturally, this scene could not be hidden from Xiao Yueming, but he did not expose it on the spot, but waited quietly to see what conspiracy this store had.

After a while, the boy named Er Mao brought over a brown-red horse. This horse was tall and burly, with smooth muscles. Even people who didn't know horses could tell that it was extraordinary.

The shop owner then introduced: "My guest, this horse is a new breed that is a cross between a Chollima horse and a stallion from the Western Regions. It can run fast and has a docile personality. If the guest likes it, I will only charge you eighty taels of silver."

"Oh, eighty taels is a bit high, sixty taels, I'll buy it for sixty taels."

The shop owner had a bitter look on his face when he heard this. He looked very embarrassed. After a while, he sighed and said, "Okay, I will suffer a little loss this time, so I will treat you as my friend."

When Xiao Yueming heard this, Xingzhong became even more convinced that there was a conspiracy in this matter. Xiao Yueming also knew something about horses. This horse was worth at least ninety taels of silver. The owner of the shop asked for eighty taels at the beginning, and he counter-offered to sixty taels. He actually

He accepted that this was against common sense, but at this time Xiao Yueming didn't know what tricks the store owner was trying to play, so he could only continue to act according to the boss's script.

After confirming the horse, Xiao Yueming carefully checked the horse and found that there was definitely no problem. He couldn't help but wonder what the boss's routine was.

The store owner led Xiao Yueming to the counter to pay. After paying sixty taels of silver, he took out a contract. The general content was that if there were quality problems, horses could be replaced, etc. There was no difference. The contract also included the cover of the local government office.

chapter to ensure the validity of the contract.

Xiao Yueming was careful when he signed and stamped his name. He signed a pseudonym and used his internal strength to rub away part of his fingerprint before stamping it.

After signing the contract, the store owner did not show any abnormality. Xiao Yueming was very puzzled. He led the horse out. The moment the horse stood in the sun, something strange happened.

As soon as Xiao Yueming led the horse out of the store, the horse lay down directly at the door of the store and refused to leave no matter how hard he pulled it. Xiao Yueming narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely aware of the boss's plan.

"Oh, you horse, why haven't you left yet? Stand up quickly."

The shop owner and Xiao Yueming pulled and pulled him several times, but he refused to go out. However, as soon as he was led to the stable, he immediately stopped resisting and became obedient in an instant.

Inside the store, the owner said bitterly to Xiao Yueming: "Sir, you have also seen that this horse refuses to leave the stable, but please don't worry, this kind of situation happens from time to time. As long as you give me three days, I guarantee that it will be returned."

You are such an obedient horse, you may have to ask the guest to stay here for a few days, but the money for the accommodation is all on me, so this must be my mistake, so please forgive me."

The shop owner looked sincere and couldn't tell anything wrong with his words.

Xiao Yueming sneered inwardly, having already roughly understood the store owner's routine: first find a traveler carrying a package, then ask about the person's origin, and then determine the target, someone like Xiao Yueming who would expose his whereabouts immediately, and then add

Although he was young, he was quickly chosen as a target by the store owner.

After the target is selected, a good horse is brought out and sold to the inexperienced target at a very low price. As long as the target pays the money, half of the trick is completed.

When the target leads the horse out of the shop, the specially trained horse will lie down and refuse to move. He has no choice but to return. At this time, the boss suggests that the target stays for a few more days and promises that all hotel expenses will be borne by himself.

The target agreed. Once he checked into the hotel, he was trapped in the tiger's mouth and couldn't help himself. Obviously, this was a black hotel.

Xiao Yueming understood in his heart, but his expression was normal: "Boss, according to the contract, if there is a problem with the horse, it can be replaced, right?

I saw a similar horse in the stable, why don't you give me that horse?"

When the innkeeper heard that Xiao Yueming was about to change horses, he smiled and said: "Guest, this person is alive, but the contract is dead. Please give me some time. How about I take you to the hotel first?"

After the two parties argued with each other to no avail, Xiao Yueming pointed to the official seal on the contract and said: "If you continue to shirk your duties and refuse to change horses for me, I will go to the Yamen to sue you for not abiding by the contract."

Seeing that the boy was so stubborn, the shop owner seemed to have figured out his plan, and then he took off his disguise and said viciously: "Sue me? You can go and try and see whether it is me or you who will go to jail."

Prison!"

"Okay, I don't want you to waste any more words. Just take these sixty taels and you can go!"

The shop owner saw that this boy was careless and didn't want to cause more trouble. There were countless customers coming and going throughout the day. He didn't want Xiao Yueming, so he planned to pay the boy back and send him away.

Xiao Yueming caught the banknote thrown by the shop owner, put it into his lapel, and said coldly: "Do you think Xiao is so easy to get rid of? I have been acting with you for so long, shouldn't I take it back?

Interest."

When the store owner saw that Xiao Yueming was planning to cause trouble, he didn't panic and immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Suddenly, the small horse shop was filled with people, each holding a sharp sword in his hand, obviously always ready to deal with emergencies.

Xiao Yueming was surrounded by a dozen men holding big swords. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he pulled out Qingyuan's right hand from behind. His internal energy surged, and he raised the sword with one hand, and then thrust the sword into the ground. Suddenly, a stream of internal energy flowed along the sword.

The body scattered around, the floor collapsed layer by layer, and all the enemies around him flew high into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a muffled sound, pretending to have fainted.

After all the internal energy dissipated, the entire horse shop was completely unrecognizable.

"Zheng~"

Qingyuan returned to his sheath. This group of people was just a group of ordinary warriors. They had no power to fight back against a second-rate master like him. He found the shop owner who had passed out under the counter. He touched his neck and found that he was dead. Xiao Yueming felt in his heart

There aren't many fluctuations, that's just the way it is in the world, and dead people are the norm.

Crossing the dilapidated facade and walking towards the stable, the horses in the stable were trampling and looking extremely restless. Looking around, a black and brown horse with a crimson mane caught Xiao Yueming's attention. When the other horses

When everyone is restless, he is the only one who remains as steady as an old dog.

Xiao Yueming walked up to the horse and patted its head. The horse snorted as if in response. Xiao Yueming nodded with satisfaction, untied the reins, picked up the saddle next to him, and installed it.

Go up.

Outside the store, there was such a big commotion in this horse shop, but no one came to watch. At most, they just glanced at it and walked away, for fear that something unfortunate would involve them.
Chapter completed!
