Shazhou Ranch is actually a pasture next to the Yongjiang River. It is not far from Dayong Nanyang Water Village. However, now Hu Xiaotian and Dayong have signed an armistice agreement. Although the Dayong regime has changed, both parties still strictly abide by the agreement and do not communicate with each other.
The fact that there was no mutual border violation is actually related to the fact that Dayong is currently trapped in the quagmire of war. The battle with the Black Hu people has left Dayong with no time to take care of other things. Xue Daohong is not a fool. He cannot deal with the Black Hu people.
At the same time, a new battlefield is opened up.
Walking onto this plain with fertile water and grass, you immediately feel a relaxed and open feeling. Ever since the Tang family and his son defected to Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian has given them the task of taming military horses. This place was personally selected by Tang Wenzheng
, the horses introduced by Hu Xiaotian through various channels must first be sent here to be tamed by the Tang family and his son, and then sent to the army and assigned to the cavalry. The Tang family's father and son's ability in training horses is indeed first-class in the world. In the outside world,
It seems that the most effective team under Hu Xiaotian is the Yongjiang Navy. In the past two years, Hu Xiaotian's cavalry strength has also been rapidly improved. This has a lot to do with the hard work of the Tang family and his son.
When Hu Xiaotian landed at Shazhou Pier, Tang Wenzheng and his third son Tang Tiexin came to greet him.
Seeing Hu Xiaotian coming, the father and son were very respectful. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Uncle Tang, please don't be polite to me. Tiehan, Tiexin and I are all brothers. If you are too polite, you will treat me as an outsider."
look."
Tang Wenzheng smiled, but he knew in his heart that things were different from the past. The former dandy in the Household Secretary's family had now become a world-famous overlord and the lord of the Tang family. He did not dare to regard him as his nephew.
Looking at the high-spirited Hu Xiaotian, Tang Wenzheng couldn't help but think of the conflict over his daughter. He didn't expect that the grievances between the two families could be resolved. Hu Xiaotian ignored the past grudges and not only did not retaliate against them. He also took in their family. This was already
What a great kindness.
Hu Xiaotian took the reins handed over by Tang Tiexin and got on a white horse. This horse is also the most splendid Zhaoye Lion Cong in the recent racecourse. It has a handsome body and a snow-white coat. There is not a single hair on its body.
Hu Xiaotian got on his horse and headed to the racecourse, accompanied by the Tang family's father and son. He said to Tang Tiexin, "I haven't seen your two brothers?"
Tang Tiexin smiled and said: "Master, my eldest and second brothers have gone to Wuxing County. Recently, many horses have arrived there by sea, and they went to pick up the goods."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and was about to ask about Long Xiyue's whereabouts.
Tang Wenzheng guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness and my daughter went to Dingdong Spring together. It is about ten miles away from here. Do you want to go now, lord?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "No need, let's go see the situation at your racecourse."
Because it was already approaching the severe winter and the dry grass season was approaching at the Shazhou Racecourse, Tang Wenzheng and his son took Hu Xiaotian to see the horses grazing on site. They then went to the racecourse fence to observe the training of horses, and finally went to the forage yard to check the forage reserves.
The Shazhou Racecourse now has a total of one thousand horses, and at its peak it can accommodate two thousand horses. This number constantly changes with the seasons and military needs. Tang Wenzhengdao: "Actually, the best horses come from Yulan Country, which is within Yulan Country."
Although Langmu, the largest oasis, covers less than one-tenth of its territory, Langmu has the purest bloodline of the Territory Blue Horse. This breed is hardworking, alert and flexible, and is capable of carrying heavy loads or running long distances.
There are too many horses that are beyond ordinary. Most of the horses we have introduced so far come from Heihu. They are specially bred from the soil and water. Although this kind of horse is tall and has strong load-bearing capacity, it is far inferior to the Yulan horse in terms of speed. "
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why not consider importing it directly from Yulan Country?"
Tang Wenzheng smiled and said: "My lord, I have forgotten that the westbound trade route has been cut off by the gang of thieves from Xingzhou. They do things without principles. They burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil. How can any merchants dare to pass by this road?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded. People like Xingzhou Guo Guangbi had indeed become a cancer on the westbound passage. If not removed in time, it would definitely have an impact on his own development. Thinking of the upcoming war, Hu Xiaotian felt a little worried.
I hope that all three of them will suffer losses, and then I can take action and reap the benefits.
While a few people were chatting, two horses came from afar, one after the other. The one in front was Long Xiyue. She was riding Xiao Hui. Like a gray lightning, Tang Qingxuan, who was riding a maroon horse behind, had already been thrown out.
After a long distance, when she walked in, she realized that Hu Xiaotian was coming. She was so surprised that she reined in the horse.
Hu Xiaotian walked over, stretched out his hand, helped her off the horse, and said with a smile: "You had a lot of fun, it seems you have forgotten about me."
Long Xiyue smiled sweetly and said softly, "How is that possible?"
When Xiao Hui saw his owner, he was very affectionate. He shook his two big ears back and forth. Hu Xiaotian patted his head. At this time, Tang Qingxuan had also caught up with him. He saw that Hu Xiaotian's pretty face was blushing. She didn't know it was because he was rushing too fast.
Still out of shyness, he whispered: "The Lord is here!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Miss Tang is having an affair with me."
Tang Qingxuan looked more and more embarrassed. At this time, Tang Tiexin came to a few people, but it was the Beggar Clan. Hu Xiaotian recognized Lu Sanfan. These Beggar Clan disciples had been in Dongliang County for the past two days, accompanying them.
Jiubao elder Xue Zhenhai was recovering from his injuries. Hu Xiaotian had dealt with them all before, but they came this time to report the situation to the gang leader Long Xiyue.
Lu Sanfan's face was not good-looking. After being greeted, he said to Long Xiyue: "Gang leader, we went to Shajiao Town and didn't find any clues. We just heard today that Shaoyuan Branch Duo and Jingbian Branch Duo are from the same sect.
We were attacked one after another, and three of our fellow sect members have been killed, including two eight-bag elders."
Long Xiyue's heart sank when she heard this. Hu Xiaotian was listening and could not express his own opinions. After all, he was just an outsider.
Long Xiyue said: "Have you found out who did it?"
Lu Sanfan said: "The injuries of the deceased were in different situations. Two people were shot by hidden arrows, and one was decapitated with a knife. According to the information we currently have, people from Luoying Palace may be involved in the assassination."
Long Xiyue said: "What's the problem between us and Luoying Palace?"
Lu Sanfan said: "This has never happened in the past, but this matter is not yet certain. If it is found out that this matter is related to them, we will definitely wipe out the Luoying Palace."
Long Xiyue said: "Let everyone be more vigilant and find out the evidence as soon as possible."
Lu Sanfan said: "Elder Qin has arrived at Shajiao Town. He asked me to report to the gang leader. I hope that the gang leader can take time to go to Shajiao Town to meet him before today." The elder Qin in his mouth is called Qin Yangming, and he is a member of the Beggars Gang.
Elder Jiubao is also the chief rudder of the Beggar Gang in Jiangbei. Qin Yangming has a very high status in the Beggar Gang. As the largest gang in the world, the Beggar Gang is divided into two parts, the north and the south, based on the Yongjiang River. Both parts are managed by the gang leader.
However, each has great independence. Qin Yangming is the chief rudder of Jiangbei, which is equivalent to having the status of deputy gang leader.
However, no matter how senior Qin Yangming is and how powerful he is, knowing that Long Xiyue has become the new leader of the Beggar Clan, he did not come to pay a visit, but instead asked Long Xiyue to go to Shajiao Town to meet him, which is a breach of etiquette.
Lu Sanfan understood this truth, so his expression was somewhat awkward when he told this matter.
Hu Xiaotian felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He didn't want these Beggar Clan disciples to feel that he was too involved in Beggar Clan affairs.
After Long Xiyue considered it, he said: "Please help me go back to Elder Qin and say that I will go to Shajiao Town before the time comes."
Lu Sanfan said: "Then my subordinates will go and inform Elder Qin about this matter."
After Lu Sanfan left, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but said: "Xiyue, you shouldn't agree to go to Shajiao Town. Qin Yang is clearly deliberately making things difficult for you."
Long Xiyue smiled and said: "Elder Qin is a senior member of the gang, so it is natural for me to go see him. Moreover, this place is the Shazhou Racecourse. Elder Qin may not be willing to come. Shajiao Town is not far from here, and Xue
Where the elder was attacked, I am also curious about what happened that day."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you really want to go, I will accompany you."
Long Xiyue nodded, but then shook her head: "Why don't you go? Will they think you interfere too much in the affairs of the Beggar Clan?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll pretend to be your guard. No matter what happens, I won't say anything."
Long Xiyue thought for a while and finally agreed.
After lunch, Long Xiyue went to Shajiao Town under the escort of six warriors, including Hu Xiaotian in disguise. Tang Qingxuan was responsible for guiding them. Shajiao Town is adjacent to Shazhou Racecourse, about 100 meters away from the residential area of the racecourse.
There is a distance of twenty miles.
Long Xiyue arrived at Shajiao Town as promised. As soon as they entered the town, Lu Sanfan came to greet them and took them to Jiaji Tofu Shop in Shajiao Town. Qin Yangming, the leader of the Jiangbei Beggar Gang, was sitting leisurely on a long bench.
On the bench, he was lazily basking in the sun, dragging a tobacco bag in his hand, squinting his eyes, and puffing out thick white smoke from time to time.
Seeing this guy's appearance, Hu Xiaotian knew that he was most likely going to make things difficult for Long Xiyue today.
Seeing everyone coming, Qin Yangming knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, then stood up, walked towards Long Xiyue with three shaking steps, clasped his fists at her and said, "Qin Yangming, see the gang leader!" Long Xiyue had a dog beating stick and a dog beating stick.
The iron rice bowl is a fact that everyone in the Beggars Clan knows. No matter how unconvinced Qin Yangming is, she has to admit her current status.
Long Xiyue smiled gently and said: "Elder Qin is too polite."
Qin Yangming glanced at the people behind Long Xiyue with his sharp eyes and said: "I have a few words that I want to say to the gang leader alone. It's better for the others to retreat."
