Princess Pingyang's Mansion is still a long way from Songlin Town. Su Ren met Wei Qing on the way to Princess Pingyang's Mansion. They met in a hurry and said goodbye in a hurry. Su Ren did not see the shadow of the general in Wei Qing.
, I wonder if Wei Qing has any other adventures to become the greatest military god in the Han Dynasty. However, Su Ren is still very excited, at least he has met the characters that people in later generations can only see in history books.
Princess Pingyang's Mansion is very large. From a distance, it looks like a small city. There are city walls, city gates, and soldiers at the gate. However, there are no people coming in or out, and it seems a little deserted. Far away, those soldiers
Then he cautiously held the sword in his hand and stopped Su Ren and others.
"What are you doing? Do you know where this place is? You are here to mount your horse and capture it for me!" The team leader waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately gathered around.
Leng Jun, Huo Jin and Huang Shisan immediately drew their weapons and surrounded Su Ren in the core. Su Ren quickly saluted: "Forgive me, military master, we are not evil people. The villain Su Ren is a businessman from Shu County, and we have come here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"The tone is not small, a small businessman actually wants to ask to see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Du Lian smiled obscenely: "I don't even care about my identity. I have been standing here for two years, so I just look at you from a distance.
You want to meet me, kid? Get out of here, I’m in a good mood today and I don’t want to care about you. If you dare to say any nonsense, you will arrest me!"
Su Ren quickly took out a bunch of money from his arms and handed it to the team leader: "Thank you, military master. I really have something important to do to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please..."
Instead of accepting the money, the team leader drew his sword and said: "Get out! I still want to live a few more days! Brothers, get out!"
A dozen soldiers rushed over immediately, Leng Jun, Huo Jin, and Huang Shisan also drew their weapons. Su Ren quickly held down a few of them and smiled at the leader: "Sorry, sorry, we're leaving now.
Let’s go now!”
Just when he was asking for an audience, he was kicked out and left the road. Several people were wilted. The excitement when they came yesterday had long gone. After hearing at Huo Zhongru's house that there was a horse farm in Princess Pingyang's mansion, Su Ren immediately thought of using horses.
Come and knock on the door of Princess Pingyang's house. Several people came on horseback overnight. They had a good plan, but they were kicked out before they even entered the door.
Leng Jun sighed: "What should we do next? Given our status, it may be difficult for us to see the princess or the Marquis of Pingyang."
Hawking had an idea: "How about we sneak in at night?"
"Haha! This is the princess's mansion. What do you think are the homes of ordinary people? If someone catches her, she will behead her directly. Even if she is only discovered, she will dig deep to find her!"
"What should we do? This plan is useless?" Hawking was a little discouraged.
Su Ren thought for a while: "If we can't do it directly, we can only do it in a roundabout way. Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
"horse farm! Find Wei Qing!"
"What? That boy?" Hawking said with contempt on his face: "We are merchants, we are still considered civilians, but that boy is just a domestic slave. We can't see him, and he can't see him either."
Leng Jun's eyes lit up and he looked at Su Ren: "Yes, go to the racecourse! His Majesty is coming in the next few days. It is impossible for Princess Pingyang or Marquis Pingyang not to go to the racecourse. There is no city wall there, and we still have Wei Qing, so the chance is great.
a little."
Su Ren smiled: "Let's go! Drive!"
Horse hooves are flying, and the scenery on both sides of the road is good. There are woods, small rivers, and occasionally a small lake surrounded by mountains and rivers. The lake water is clear and translucent, and the chirping of birds and cicadas echo each other. A place like this should be slowly and slowly
Appreciation, but few of them were in the mood, riding silently on their horses, just rushing along. When they came, they were high-spirited and felt that the road under their feet was coming in an instant. When they went back, they felt heavy, and they could not see the little road.
to the end.
There is no gate to the horse farm. A few stables and a dozen shepherds in a valley make up the entire horse farm. It is indeed a good place to raise horses. According to common sense, the water where horses are raised must be clear and the grass must be fat. Horses cannot drink clean water.
It is easy to get sick, and the rich pasture is good for the health of horses. There are few places like this in the Central Plains. The Han people like farming. As long as there is a slightly flat land, they will find ways to plant something in it. In such a valley, except for the royal family and the powerful
, don’t even think about it.
The arrival of the stranger attracted the shepherd's attention. Before they got close, someone rushed over to stop them: "Do you know that this is the horse farm of Princess Pingyang's mansion? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Su Ren saluted and said, "We are here to find someone!"
The leader saw that Su Ren and the others were dressed gorgeously and the horses under their crotches were extraordinary, so he did not dare to look down upon him. He looked at Su Ren up and down and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Wei Qing!" Su Ren said: "We are Wei Qing's brothers. We passed by here and came to see him. I wonder where Wei Qing is now?"
The leader frowned. Wei Qing usually worked hard and was at ease with his work, but he was just a slave of the princess's house. It was obvious at a glance that the people in front of them were either young masters of some family or children of wealthy families. Such.
The two identities actually called each other brothers, which made the leader wonder: "Who are you? Why are you looking for Wei Qing?"
"We are merchants from Shu County. Yesterday we made an agreement with Brother Wei Qing that we would like to show him a few horses. If they are good, we hope to sell them to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Although this is Princess Pingyang's place, these shepherds all know that they are raising horses for the emperor. If there are good horses, it will not be difficult for the princess and the emperor to get rid of their slave status, and it is even possible to get them a small official.
Hearing that Su Ren had a good horse, the leader quickly asked: "Where are the horses?"
"Where is Wei Qing?"
The leader was helpless and turned around to signal one person to go find Wei Qing. The ancient man was so helpless, but there was nothing the leader could do. He had already thought that it was impossible to get benefits from these merchants, so he had to start with Wei Qing.
It was not long before Wei Qing came on horseback. He ran very fast and waved to Su Ren and others from a distance. After saying goodbye in a hurry last night, Wei Qing admired Su Ren. He was not much older than him and he could go to Qiang land.
, and even came to Chang'an alone. They are both young people, why is there such a big gap?
"Brother Su, have you ever met Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Wei Qing looked excited. As long as Su Ren could sell the horse, he might be able to get one.
Su Ren shook his head: "No! I can't even enter the palace, so I came to ask for help from my dear brother. I hope that my dear brother can introduce us to you. The princess is a daughter of a noble family, and we can't meet each other. It's fine if we can meet the steward."
Wei Qing smiled bitterly and said to the leader next to him: "This is Leader Yang of our racecourse. If you want to sell horses, he is the best one."
Leader Yang was the leader just now. After listening to Wei Qing's words, he felt very comfortable. He glanced sideways at Wei Qing and never thought that Wei Qing was so cute and sensible. He quickly handed over his hand: "Master Su, where are the horses? We can go and see them now.
Have you seen it? If it is a good horse, I will definitely report it to Pingyang Hou and buy your horse!"
Su Ren smiled and brought Wei Qing here to give Wei Qing a chance. Although Wei Qing was sincere, he was not stupid and immediately understood Su Ren's intentions. Su Ren nodded: "That's great, I can't take the horse with me either.
How about Leader Yang asking Wei Qing to follow me to lead the horse, and we can watch the horse here tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, okay!" Leader Yang was overjoyed. According to Su Ren's wishes, the horses were not only good, but also plentiful. It seemed that he had taken the credit this time.
They sent people to Chang'an overnight to get horses, and they expected to be back in the evening. In order to cooperate with Cui Chengru selling horses in Chang'an, the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce specially selected dozens of good horses and sent them to Chang'an. They were all good horses from Qiang land, fat and strong.
, tall. In order to get close to the emperor, Su Ren spent a lot of money and brought all these dozens of good horses to Pingyang in one go, hoping to use this stepping stone to knock on the door of Pingyang Mansion.
Along the way, Huo Jin disliked Wei Qing and walked last with Huang Shisan. Su Ren, however, was very fond of Wei Qing. The two chatted about everything and learned about the art of war and worldly affairs. He stared sternly at what he heard. Su Ren knew a lot about him.
He had seen it before, but he was a little surprised that Wei Qing could talk to Su Ren about everything. It was indeed rare for a slave in the princess's house to have such knowledge.
"Can brother Wei Qing be literate? I don't know which classics to read?" Su Ren started to think about writing a biography for General Wei. From a domestic slave to a general, such a book title must be very attractive.
Wei Qing smiled slightly: "In the year when Hedong suffered a disaster, my parents had no choice but to sell themselves as slaves and were favored by Her Majesty the Princess. I did learn some Chinese characters when I was a child. I read any classics that made Brother Su laugh, so I just flipped through them randomly!"
Su Ren nodded: "Brother Wei, do you know how to do martial arts?"
Wei Qing smiled again: "I made my eldest brother laugh again. My martial arts skills are not as good as those of Brother Huo. I just practice randomly in my free time!"
When Huo Jin heard this, he turned his head to the side. Su Ren could tell that Wei Qing was not telling the truth, so he just nodded with a smile: "If brothers have great ambitions, they must work harder. There are Huns in the north of our country, and there are barbarians in the south who are disobedient to the king."
In the future, what a large country needs are strong generals who can gallop on the battlefield, not scribes who can only show off their words. Brother Wei has all the literary, Taoist and military strategies in his heart. In the future, he will show his great ambitions in order to live up to Her Royal Highness the Princess's love for his brother!"
Wei Qing was stunned and his face immediately turned red. Su Ren patted Wei Qing on the shoulder: "Since brothers have ambitions, I would like to make a suggestion. You should have a goal and then pursue it unyieldingly. To be honest with you, although I am a businessman, I always think about it.
I will become a marquis and a general, and I will fight on the battlefield for my great Han Dynasty, drive out the Xiongnu, eliminate the Southern Barbarians, and make our Han family famous throughout the world!"
Wei Qing looked at Su Ren with longing, and was infected by Su Ren's heroic words. He nodded heavily: "Yes!"
After running for dozens of miles in one breath, when I returned to Pine Forest Town, I was stunned by the sight in front of me. Dozens of tall horses were walking from the official road, with their heads held high and their legs down. The horses neighed loudly and honked loudly.
The people of Songlin Town had never seen so many horses before. The streets were empty and crowded at the entrance of the town to watch. Wei Qing shouted, beating the horses like flying, and ran over. (To be continued)
