Beautiful women may be born with the ability to dress up, or in other words, beautiful women will look good even if they dress up casually. Dou Xianniang just went to the stream to wash her face, simply combed her long hair into two halves and tied it behind her head, and she immediately became beautiful.

She became more and more delicate and cute, and even the loose and sloppy men's gown she wore seemed to have a different charm.

Looking at Dou Xianniang, who was walking back from the stream with a painting-like look on her face, Gao Bufan and Gao Shou's master and servant couldn't help but their eyes lit up. Dou Xianniang lifted up her loose clothes and said a little embarrassedly: "It seems

It’s too big, isn’t it ugly?”

Gao Shou immediately flattered him and said: "It's not ugly, on the contrary, it's very pretty. Don't you think so, young master?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said with a smile: "It's indeed not ugly. There are no clothes suitable for Miss Dou at the moment. I'll make do with it for now. I'll buy you some suits that fit you when you get to the city. A girl can't always wear men's clothes."

clothes."

"Thank you, Brother Gao. When you find Dad later, I...I will pay you back the money!" Dou Xianniang whispered with a pretty face.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "We'll talk about this later. Come on, let's drink a bowl of fish soup to warm up your body. It's cold in the morning, and your fever has just gone away, so you need to supplement your nutrition."

"Well, thank you, Brother Gao." Dou Xianniang felt warm in her heart. She quickly took the pottery bowl from Gao Bufan's hand and started to drink it in small sips. The fish soup was still very hot, so she raised her mouth and blew on it from time to time.

Gao Shou licked his lips and said to himself: "A good-looking woman can even drink soup. Look at her little cherry mouth!"

Gao Shou took two glances and didn't dare to look further. He probably had already included Dou Xian Niang in his mind as one of the candidates for the young mistress.

Dou Xianniang ate very little. She drank a bowl of fish soup and a few mouthfuls of dry food before she was full. She sat aside and watched Gao Bufan's master and servant eat and drink. Strictly speaking, she watched Gao Bufan eat and drink. She never left her eyes.

After passing the former, both Xiao and Gao Bufan felt a little embarrassed. When they had nothing to say, they asked: "Miss Dou, are you cold?"

Douxian Niang smiled sweetly and shook her head to show that she was not cold. The two ponytail whips tied behind her head swayed left and right with her movements, which was really cute.

Seeing this, the chief minister couldn't help but joked: "It seems that Miss Dou is already well. You don't know how scary it was when you were in a fever and confused last night. Suddenly you jumped up and screamed. You even hugged my young master and called him daddy."

You refused to let go no matter what, and in the end it was my young master who carried you back to the tent and fell asleep before you could get away."

Dou Xianniang suddenly lowered her head in embarrassment and blushed. Gao Bufan glared at Gao Shou, rolled up a few pancakes, stuffed them all into the guy's mouth, and scolded: "I can't stop your threesome even if I have something to eat."

Bazui!"

Gao Bufan's head and cheeks were stuffed, and she was as silent as a toad. Her eyes rolled up and down. Dou Xian Niang looked amused and couldn't help but chuckle. However, as soon as her eyes touched Gao Bufan, she immediately started talking again.

Her face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head. Although she was dizzy from the fever last night, she still had an impression of what happened. She even remembered Gao Bufan wiping her sweat with a handkerchief!

Gao Bufan lightly kicked Gao Shou's ass and said, "When you're full, go to work and come back to meet the cavalry team. Miss Dou and I will be waiting here!"

Gao Shou swallowed the food in his mouth, drank a few more sips of water, and then said with a smile: "Then I won't hinder the young master!" After saying that, he quickly jumped on the horse and returned the same way.

Dou Xianniang only had amnesia, not dementia. Naturally, she understood the implication of Gaoshou's words, and immediately blushed with embarrassment, burying her head and not daring to look at anyone.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly wonder. He remembered that when he first met Dou Xianniang on the street, she was an out-and-out little hot pepper.

She is so shy and can blush easily!

The sun had already risen very high at this time, and the big green horse and Dou Xianniang's bay-red horse were leisurely eating the half-yellow grass by the stream, looking quite harmonious.

Dou Xianniang lowered her head for a while but didn't see Gao Bufan make a sound, so she took a sneak peek and saw that the latter was looking at the horse. She also followed his gaze and immediately spat secretly. It turned out that the big green horse was like this.

At that time, he actually rode on the bay red horse.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but dumbfounded. The two horses were grazing leisurely side by side just a second ago. Unexpectedly, the style of the painting suddenly changed. He quickly whistled and the big green horse neighed in dissatisfaction.

The two horses turned over on their backs, and then the two horses continued to rub each other, eating grass, and then ran further away to play with stacks of arhats.

Gao Bufan was embarrassed when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves. He saw two strong horses galloping from the direction they came from, kicking up dust. Gao Bufan's eyesight was very good, and he could see clearly from a distance that one of them was exactly the same person.

Gao Shou, who had left and returned, suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and stood up quickly.

Seeing this, Dou Xianniang stood up quickly and asked nervously: "Brother Gao, what happened?"

Gao Bufan didn't answer, he just stood there with his eyebrows furrowed and waited. Soon, two horses ran up to them one after the other. The first one was Gao Shou.

"Something happened to the young master!" Gaoshou dismounted from his horse and shouted anxiously.

Gao Bufan's heart sank slightly, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Don't panic, what happened?"

Gao Shou pointed to the man behind him and said, "Ask him, he knows better."

At this time, the man behind him also flew off his horse, ran three steps at a time in front of Gao Bufan, cupped his fists and saluted, "May I ask if this is Mr. Gao Changqing?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said calmly: "Exactly, what do you call this brother?"

When the man saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise him. If this boy was as young and steady as Cui Guanshi said, it was evident from his calmness. He quickly said respectfully: "I don't dare. My name is Cui Jiu. He is from the Cui clan in Qinghe. I am here to serve you."

I have been ordered by Manager Cui to come and inform Mr. Gao that your cavalry team had an accident behind the scenes, please return quickly to deal with it."

Gao Bufan secretly screamed that something was wrong. He was really afraid of whatever he wanted. He had only been away for half a day and a night, but something happened. What happened to the two Gao Shixiong brothers?

"What kind of accident happened?" Gao Bufan asked in a deep voice.

"The people under Mr. Gao had a conflict with the Li family in Longxi!"

Gao Bufan was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the war horse had been robbed. Ganqing just had a conflict with someone else. As long as the horse was still there, it would be easy to handle. He couldn't help but feel reassured and asked: "Longxi Li family? Could it be Li Yuan?"

Cui Jiu looked a little weird, shook his head and said: "Master Gao made a mistake. Duke Li Yuan of Tang is the Li family of Guanzhong, not the Li family of Longxi!"

Gao Bufan sweated secretly and humbly asked: "Then what is the origin of this Li family from Longxi?"

Cui Jiu explained: "In fact, the ancestors of the Li family in Guanzhong and the Li family in Longxi are from the same origin, and they are called Guanlong Li family. However, the relationship is not close now. The power of the Li family in Longxi is in the Hexi Corridor area. Damaying at the foot of the Qilian Mountains

The ranch was the largest military horse farm in the entire Sui Dynasty, with an annual output of 15,000 head. The Damaying Ranch was run by the Li family of Longxi. Of course, the Damaying Ranch was nominally a military horse farm owned by the imperial court. Longxi

Li only has the right to operate."

Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly sneered. If there were 15,000 horses produced every year, then the number of horses in the entire ranch would be at least three times that number, that is, 50,000 horses. How big would such a ranch have to be?

Moreover, with such a huge pasture, a cavalry force of 10,000 people could be assembled at will. No wonder the imperial court confiscated it and only reserved nominal management rights for the Li family in Longxi, which was equivalent to a state-owned property!

However, this also reflects the strong influence of the Li family in Longxi in the local area. Even the imperial court got a piece of their pie and handed over such a huge military horse farm to them to operate and manage.

Gao Bufan quickly asked about the reason for the conflict between the two parties. Cui Jiu was very articulate and quickly explained the incident clearly.

It turned out that after Gao Bufan left yesterday afternoon, the Gao Shixiong brothers drove their horses for another journey and found an open place to camp before falling into darkness. Unexpectedly, Li's horse team from Longxi also arrived there just before falling into darkness.

So I camped nearby.

As a result, when Gao Ren counted the horses the next day, he found that a dozen horses were missing. He suspected that they had gone to the Li family's horses in Longxi, so the Gao Shixiong brothers came forward to negotiate, hoping to inspect and recover the horses belonging to Feiying Horses.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and the horses at Feiying Racecourse were all marked with explicit and covert markings, making them easy to identify. As long as the other party was willing to cooperate, they could definitely find out. However, the people of the Li family in Longxi did not know whether they had evil intentions or were used to being arrogant.

He rejected the request of Gao Shixiong brothers and prepared to set off on horseback.

The Gao Shixiong brothers had bad tempers. They could not bear the insults and ridicules from the other side, so the two sides started to fight, and some of them were injured. If Cui Hu didn't happen to drive the cavalry by, he intervened in time to stop the mediation.

Someone is going to die.

The Cui family in Qinghe was one of the top families in the Sui Dynasty. Naturally, the Li family in Longxi did not dare to lose face, but they still refused to allow the Gao Shixiong brothers to inspect the horses, and asked the Gao Shixiong brothers to apologize and compensate the injured people for the soup and medicine expenses.

The Gao Shixiong brothers were furious, and the two sides almost started fighting again. Cui Hu had no choice but to mediate and sent Cui Jiu to inform Gao Bufan. As a result, Cui Jiu met Gao Bufan on the way and recognized the horse Gao Bufan was riding.

It was the logo of the Flying Eagle Racecourse, so I stopped him and asked, and I found out that the other person was Gao Bufan's personal attendant.

Cui Jiu was overjoyed and asked Gao Shou to take him to find Gao Bufan!

After listening to Cui Jiu's narration, Gao Bufan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He originally thought that the accident was caused by the recklessness of the Gao Shixiong brothers, but now it seems that he wrongly blamed them. They were right, but the other party was too arrogant.

As the saying goes, if a good man is bullied and a good horse is ridden, no matter whether he is the Li family of Guanzhong or the Li family of Longxi, if the horse is not returned, the emperor will take care of it!

Gao Bufan whistled, and the big green horse that had finished its work ran over happily, while the bay-red horse behind followed suit, as if the husband was singing and the wife was following.
Chapter completed!
