Princess Pingyang's fiefdom occupies the entire Pingyang County. This fiefdom belongs to more than one person. Pingyang Marquis Cao Shou holds half of it, and Princess Pingyang holds half. The total number of households is more than 10,000, which is considered to be the largest number of people in the Han Dynasty.
Songlin Town is under the rule of Princess Pingyang's Mansion. Not far to the east is a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, green grass and fertile grass. This is the horse farm of Princess Pingyang's Mansion. Princess Pingyang is the sister of Emperor Liu Che, and she and her younger brother have been together since childhood.
They grew up together and knew his younger brother very well. Knowing that Liu Che liked war horses, he built a horse farm here, bought horses from various places, raised them, and dedicated them to the emperor.
Wei Qing is a stable boy at the racecourse of Princess Pingyang Mansion. From birth, he has been a domestic slave of Pingyang Marquis Mansion. If there is no accident, he will raise horses here in his life. When he gets married and has children, the boy will follow him to raise horses.
Girls will be sent to Princess Pingyang's mansion to work as servants or prostitutes, and eventually die somewhere unknown. This is Wei Qing's future and his life.
There was a commotion at the door of Huo's house yesterday, but Huo Zhongru was not brought out. Because he went out privately, he was severely whipped on the head by the groom and was arranged to stay overnight. The night was beautiful, and Wei Qing liked to watch the stars. He lay on the hay pile and chewed
Grassroots, the sound of horses eating night grass can be heard in the ears, and the endless star field is in front of me. People often say that a star in the sky represents a person underground. I don’t know which one I am.
His back was in pain and burning, but Wei Qing didn't want to move. The horse-head whip was very tricky. Not only did it save effort, but it could also tear your skin and flesh apart. Another advantage was that it wouldn't hurt your muscles and bones. So Wei Qing was whipped.
Just one meal and you can keep watch at night.
The second sister brought him medicine in the afternoon. It was said that she had stolen it from the princess's house. It was not a good medicine. If she applied it on her body, it would attract mosquitoes. As she looked at it, she suddenly heard a loud hooting sound.
It was very loud, and you knew it was a good horse. Princess Pingyang's mansion had a total of 168 horses, all of which were good horses. But the sound of this horse was very special, and Wei Qing had never heard it before.
Yi Gulu got up, untied the reins of the horse, turned over, and rushed towards the place where the horse was hooting. The sound was not far away, but he couldn't catch it. When Wei Qing arrived at the place where the horse hooted just now,
But the horse went to the front again. After a long chase, he must catch that horse. It was a good horse. If it went to the battlefield, it could capture the flag thousands of miles away, but it could capture the opponent's general's head among thousands of troops.
.
"Eh...!" A war horse was tied to a tree on the side of the road. It was completely black, with only two eyes shining with stars. Wei Qing couldn't help but feel elated. It was this horse, with its tall body, slender hooves, and strong
Muscles. "What a horse!" he couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.
When the black horse saw Wei Qing approaching, he glanced at him with big eyes, turned around, and handed his butt over. Wei Qing smiled and said, "You still don't want to pay attention to me?" and reached out to grab the black horse's reins.
"Hey! Where did the robber come from and dared to steal grandpa's horse?" A young man in the woods shouted loudly while holding up his pants.
Wei Qing was stunned. When the black horse saw its master coming, it raised its hind hoof and kicked Wei Qing. Wei Qing quickly dodged and fell into the grass beside the road. The young man laughed loudly and while adjusting his pants, he said: "I know the black wind
Isn't that awesome? He only recognizes me. Even if I am the eldest brother, don't even think about getting close to him. I've already given you face by allowing you to grab the reins. Even a bite of you is considered a light one."
The young man was polite and did not embarrass Wei Qing. He stretched out his hand to pull Wei Qing up and took a closer look: "Is it you?" He drew out his sword with a cry: "It's really a narrow road for enemies! I wanted to punish you, but I didn't expect you yourself.
Delivered to your door!”
The shiny weapon shone with a cold light. Wei Qing looked at the young man in front of him carefully and didn't recognize him: "Who are you? I don't know you!"
"You don't know me, but I know you!" the young man said angrily: "You were the one who caused mischief in front of my second uncle's house at noon today. I will punish you so that you know that our Huo family is not empty! Look!
sword!"
The sword slashed down, and Wei Qing hurriedly dodged. Fortunately, there were many trees along the road, and they started to make a fuss in the woods as they chased and hid. The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the young man was about to hit Wei Qing with his sword, "Dang!"
!" There was a crisp sound, and a big ax bigger than Wei Qing's head stretched out in front of Wei Qing, just in time to block the falling sword.
Another big guy came. This guy didn't even look at Wei Qing. He just stared at the young man holding the sword: "Sir, I won't let you cause trouble!"
"Old Huang, get out of the way. It's such a dark and windy night that even if you kill this kid, no one will know!"
"No! Sir is here!"
A white horse came slowly, followed by a red horse. There were two more boys. The one on the white horse was tall and straight, and the one on the red horse was a handsome guy. Wei Qing looked at these four people and felt in his heart
He began to mutter that it seemed that they were in the same group, and the boy said that his surname was Huo, and he must be the nephew of the Huo family who came to seek revenge on him.
He simply raised his neck, stood up from the ground, and patted the dirt on his body: "If I fall into the hands of you villains, I will kill or scrape you as you please. If the person named Huo is unkind, God will definitely accept him. I will wait for you below."
Horrible!"
The young man holding the sword was furious: "You see, this kid doesn't know what's good for him. Kill him as soon as possible. We still have important things to do!"
The young man on the white horse got off the horse and looked Wei Qing up and down, from head to feet, and from feet to head, his eyes widened, just like a young man looking at a big girl. Wei Qing looked a little embarrassed: "
If you want to kill me, kill me. If I shout, I will not be considered a hero!"
"Are you acting recklessly? This is not a good habit for a general!" The young man smiled and bowed deeply to Wei Qing: "I, Su Ren, have admired the brave warrior Wei for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him under such circumstances.
I really don’t know what to say!” He turned to the young man holding the sword and said, “Put away your weapon, I have something to tell him!”
Although the boy holding the sword was angry, he still put away the weapon and walked into the darkness muttering. The night wind was very cold, and Wei Qing was injured. After relaxing, his back hurt. It should be those who had grown up a little.
His wound was broken again. When someone gives him a gift, he has to return the gift.
Wei Qing also made a standard courtesy: "Mr. Su, I, Wei Qing, have offended your brother for some reason, please tell me clearly!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "My brother's surname is Huo and his given name is Jin. He is the nephew of Mr. Huo from Songlin Town. Does the warrior know this?"
Wei Qing frowned, and before he could speak, Su Ren immediately continued: "Actually, Master Wei has some misunderstandings about this matter. Your sister and nephew are now in Mr. Huo's house, just because your sister is a runaway slave, and Huo
It’s not convenient for you to say it clearly, but Sir Wei, don’t worry, Mr. Huo has promised me that I will never let your sister and nephew down!"
"Seriously?" Wei Qing suddenly became excited. Ever since the eldest sister escaped from the princess's mansion with her nephew, the princess's mansion had announced that they would capture the escaped slaves and execute them. However, Huo Zhongru, the instigator of this incident, remained silent. Wei Qing saw this.
Come on, he is just an irresponsible man. How can such a man be worthy of his sister, so he wants to avenge and avenge her sister.
Su Ren nodded: "When the time is right, Warrior Wei can meet your sister!"
Wei Qing lifted up his clothes and knelt down, and paid homage to Su Ren: "Young Master, Wei Qing must repay you for your kindness!"
"Haha!" Su Ren quickly helped Wei Qing up. He didn't want to see the future Han Dynasty general kneel down to him: "Forget being a cow or a horse, how about being a brother?"
Wei Qing was stunned. What was his identity? He was a slave of the princess's house. Who was the other party? You could tell by his clothes that he was the son of a wealthy family. Can two people like this be brothers? It would be a joke to tell anyone.
Of course Su Ren understood Wei Qing's thoughts and said with a smile: "I'm not a young master. Su Ren is just a merchant from Shu County. These are my brothers. One merchant and one stable boy can be brothers, right?"
?”
Wei Qing didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head and saluted. Hawking came over again and said, "This kid is indistinguishable, so don't even think about being brothers with him!"
"Get out!" Su Ren raised his foot and kicked Hawking, but Hawking dodged.
Wei Qing said quickly: "Mr. Huo, I, Wei Qing, didn't know the truth and did something wrong. Please tell Mr. Huo and I will definitely come to apologize in the future!"
"Mr. Huo, he should be the brother-in-law!" Su Ren spoke quickly. As soon as he said this, Wei Qing's face immediately turned red, but it was dark and he couldn't see clearly.
After the conversation started, several people started chatting. When talking about the purpose of Su Ren and others, Su Ren just shook his head and smiled. Wei Qing was an honest child, and he didn't ask questions when others didn't talk. When Su Ren saw Wei Qing talking,
From time to time, he would glance at Hawking's horse Black Wind, knowing that this stable boy was interested in good horses.
"It's called Black Wind. It's a good horse from the Qiang region. We got it when we went to the Qiang region last year. What do brothers Wei Qing think?"
"A good horse?" As he spoke, Wei Qing's eyes still did not leave Heifeng: "As a stable boy since I was a child, I have seen many horses, but there are indeed not many horses like Heifeng!"
Su Ren smiled: "I still have a few good horses in my hands. Although they are not as good as Heifeng, they are rare good horses. If Brother Wei likes them, I will give you one!"
"No, no, no..." Wei Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Su's horses are not for nothing. How can I win his love with a knife? Besides, Brother Su regards me as a brother, but I didn't do anything to Brother Su. It's all for nothing."
A horse is unjustifiable!"
"Then introduce us to Her Royal Highness the Princess, or Marquis Pingyang!" Su Ren looked at Wei Qing: "To be honest with you brothers, I heard that Princess Pingyang and Marquis Pingyang like war horses, so I came here just to show Her Highness the Princess and Marquis Pingyang.
If you can buy my horse, it won’t be in vain for me to come all the way here!”
"This..." Wei Qing hesitated.
Su Rendao: "If brother can recommend me, I will give him a horse!"
"Haha!" Wei Qing smiled awkwardly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Seeing that the moon was tilting to the west and it was getting later. The few people reluctantly said goodbye, and kept watching Su Ren and the others running away. Wei Qing quietly said
Standing on the road, I vaguely heard Su Ren singing: "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this people, they must first work hard on their bones and their minds..." (To be continued)
