The slave in front kept wiping the sweat from his head. He was extremely nervous. Where did the black horse go? Will it really return to the family that bought it? That was when it was very young. Can it still remember it?
?If he wasn't there, wouldn't Master Xuan have to kill him?!
Although he is just a slave in the hunting ground, the horse he tames is also the most common in the hunting ground. It has a gentle personality and is probably for the emperor to ride on when the emperor comes to hunt. However, I have also heard of Xuan Jinmo's name and know that he is
How cruel and ruthless.
If he can't be found, Xuan Jinmo can still kill him even though he is not responsible for the crime! He is the only person in Wumeng Kingdom who can kill him first and tell him later.
There is no need for a reason to kill someone, as long as he wants to kill, that is the reason.
The farmhouse is in front of it. It has a large yard and a lot of horses. It looks like it is a business that sells horses for a living.
A middle-aged man with a green complexion was feeding the horses. When he heard the sound of horse hooves outside, he raised his head and looked at Xuan Jinmo and his group. In the night, the lantern at the door swayed and emitted a light that flickered, making him feel a little dazed.
"Brother Li, has the black horse I bought from you ever come back?" The slave jumped off the horse and asked eagerly. He no longer stuttered in his words. He was probably frightened.
The middle-aged man known as Brother Li hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "Which one? I don't remember, but I didn't see any horses passing by outside."
The slave almost collapsed to the ground. The smile on his face was a little stiff. He felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe. He was dead. The horse he raised ran away and disappeared with General Tong's precious granddaughter. This did not mean that he was dead.
Did he disappear too?
Xuan Jinmo frowned slightly. What is certain at present is that as long as Heima's body is not found, it means that Heima is still staying with Tong Xiaoye.
Princess Tianxiang once said that she just slapped the horse on the buttocks. No matter how hard she struck, it would just make the black horse run wildly for a while. Besides, although Tong Xiaoye's equestrian skills are average, he is also a person who can ride a horse, so he should not let it run wild for a while.
The horse kept galloping.
Just as the group was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly remembered something and raised his voice from behind: "By the way, you guys go to the back mountain to have a look. When I came back from there this afternoon, I saw a black horse by the river.
, it is drinking water by the river, I don’t know if it is what you are looking for.”
"Is there anyone following around?" Xuan Jinmo reined in the horse's head and asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head, thought for a while and said: "I was walking in a hurry and didn't pay attention. However, judging from the appearance of the black horse, it shouldn't be a wild horse. It's just that it was some time ago, and I don't know if the horse is still there."
.”
"Thank you." Xuan Jinmo rode in the direction the middle-aged man said, his voice floating in the air and reaching everyone's ears, "Send a group of people back to see if Miss Tong has returned to the palace or Tong Mansion. Go to Tong Mansion.
Be careful when asking, don't let the news leak out, and some people are spreading out in the back mountains to look for it, don't miss any place!"
Everyone responded and dispersed quickly. The slave who was training the horse was stunned for a moment. No one was in sight. He wanted to catch up with his horse, but he didn't know where he was going. He had to ride along the road towards the back mountain.
He hurriedly looked around subconsciously.
It was dark at night. At this time, apart from the moon in the sky, nothing else could be seen clearly.
When we arrived at the river that the middle-aged man mentioned, it was very quiet. The river was gurgling and the sound of the water was very pleasant. The moon was reflected in the water, sometimes round and sometimes broken, but there was no shadow of any horse, let alone Tong Xiaoye.
At this time, it was getting late. If Tong Xiaoye was fine, he would definitely choose a place where there are people around him, either stay overnight or find a way to return to the palace or General Tong's Mansion.
Xuan Jinmo got off his horse and slowly walked downstream along the river. There was a mountain upstream, and he had already ordered his followers to go up and search for it.
He walked down the river alone, where it was easy to reach a populated area. At Tong Xiaoye's age, she would never dare to spend the night alone outside. However, since the middle-aged man was watching by the river,
Seeing the black horse drinking water means that the black horse was in good condition at that time and there were no accidents. However, the middle-aged man said that he did not see anyone nearby. So, is the black horse that the middle-aged man said was the horse that Tong Xiaoye rode?
I vaguely heard a babbling sound in front of me. It seemed like a person was still talking loudly even though his hands and feet were bound. It was a male voice, rough and angry.
"You stinky girl, let me go immediately!"
"That's weird, why should I let you go?"
It was a familiar and clear voice. This voice sounded like the sound of nature at this time, falling into Xuan Jinmo's ears like music. His heart immediately relaxed and he quietly approached the source of the voice.
A stout man was kneeling on the ground. To be precise, he was half squatting on the ground. He looked a little uncomfortable, but could not move. His hands were tied behind his back. The binding was very strong. His face was angry and bruised. He looked at it under the moonlight.
It looks a little scary.
There was a bonfire on the ground. It was not big and the flames were dancing.
There are two people sitting next to the fire, one is a girl in blue clothes, and the other is a young man in coarse cloth clothes. They are not very old, but they have honest and honest features.
"Stinky girl, hurry up and let me go. Do you know what I do?! If you fall into my hands, you will live or die!" The man cursed, as if he was trying his best to struggle out of his bonds.
However, the binding became tighter and tighter with both hands, causing sweat to drip from his head and frustration on his face.
"It's none of my business what you do. I finally let the horse kick you unconscious, and asked this big brother to help tie you up. I was still waiting for Brother Jinmo to come and clean up your anger for me. It turned out that it was okay or not.
You have the idea of selling me, just treat it as a human being and you can make money!" Tong Xiaoye said disdainfully, "You, save it, you better pray that Brother Jinmo won't be angry and be more realistic."
The man on the ground changed his face when he heard Tong Xiaoye's words, and asked cautiously: "Stinky girl, what brother Jin Mo are you talking about? Are you referring to Master Xuan Jin Mo Xuan, who is most valued by the emperor in the capital today?"
Tong Xiaoye smiled slightly and said deliberately: "Yes, it's him. It turns out that brother Jinmo's name is so famous. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have bothered him. As a result, I didn't even have dinner, so I stayed here."
Stay with me here, I'm worried about you being a naughty person."
Xuan Jinmo, who was hiding in the shadows, had a slight smile on his lips. He didn't believe that Tong Xiaoye would come up with the idea of rescuing her. He was probably just trying to scare the man with his name on the spur of the moment.
However, the man on the ground was really scared. His face instantly turned pale. He muttered and his tone immediately softened, "Girl, do me a favor. Just let me go. I will disappear in front of the girl immediately without delaying your blink of an eye."
