They stayed in Hongnong for one night, and the next day, with the gift of the Hongnong County magistrate, they left the city and continued eastward. The road they took was considered a long way. If they wanted to take a shortcut, they should leave Wuguan from Lantian and take Jingzhou.
The boat will arrive at Kuaiji soon. The reason why we have to take the dry road is actually because of Gongsun He's request. This boy has grown so big that he has not left Chang'an yet and wants to see the scenery in various places. Who knows that Gongsun He will look around.
He came to the conclusion that Chang'an was better. Even if he died in the future, he would have to die in Chang'an, and other places were not suitable for human beings at all.
Gongsun He originally wanted to freeload, which he often did in Chang'an, not to mention a small place like Hongnong. Su Ren secretly gave the county magistrate five hundred dollars and asked him to settle the bills for several inns, and the rest would be counted as a right.
The county magistrate was so happy with his reward that he bowed repeatedly, his face blossoming.
Thorns' horse is a good horse, even better than Hawking's Black Wind. This made Hawking very angry. Under the encouragement of Shi Bao and Li Gan, he insisted on racing against Thorns. Hawking also took out
Gongsun He rewarded him with the bead as a bet, and he looked sure to win. Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, the two were evenly matched, and they praised each other's horses endlessly.
Li Gan said to Shi Bao: "Hey! When can I have a horse like that? It's fun to ride a horse like that to kill the enemy!"
Shi Bao chuckled: "Do you really want it?"
"Do you have any idea?"
Shi Bao lay in Li Gan's ear with a smirk on his face and muttered for a long time. Li Gan's expression changed and his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, if my brother finds out, he will kill me."
No, I was the one who sneaked out this time. Even if he doesn’t kill me, if he is sent back, my father will beat me to death."
"Look at you like that. If you don't do it, I won't do it. Don't I regret it when the horse is returned?"
Li Gan hesitated.
We walked a little slower today, and it was already dark before we reached Luoyang, so we had no choice but to camp outside. Shi Bao and Li Gan took the initiative to ask for a night watch. Since the young people wanted to show off, Li Danghu naturally supported them.
Seeing the two boys leaving the tent, Ying Guangji smiled and said to Jingji: "Brother Jing, take care of your things. I think the wind is blowing in the wrong direction tonight."
"You don't need to remind me. The way these two boys look at my horse, I know what they are going to do. Don't worry, Mo Yu won't be able to get close to anyone except me."
Li Danghu gritted his teeth, got up and walked out. Su Ren hugged him and said with a smile: "Let them do it, it's their ability to lead it away. Brother Jing doesn't care about a horse. It won't be too late to teach him a lesson tomorrow."
, children need a process to grow up.”
Gongsun He chuckled: "I'll go take a look."
Shi Bao and Li Gan walked around the camp a few times. Feeling that no one was paying attention to them, they slowly approached the temporary stables. All the war horses were tied here. At first glance, they were all good horses. Especially the two at the back.
, one is Hawking's Black Wind, and the other is Thorns' Mo Yu. The two stood in front of Mo Yu and looked at each other for a long time.
Li Gan hesitated again and asked Shi Bao: "Do you really want to do this? It's not good to steal things."
Shi Bao thought for a moment: "Yes! My eldest brother often says that he wants to rob and earn, but he can't steal. Stealing is too despicable."
Li Gan nodded: "Brother Su is right, how about we go?"
Shi Bao was a little reluctant: "That Thorn is not a good person, so stealing from him shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
"Why isn't he a good person?"
Shi Bao smiled, turned around, walked to the carriage nearby, and sat on it: "Actually, this guy is the same as Ying Guangji, except that his leaders were deceived by Brother Su to go to the north and all died. Since then, he has been the same as Ying Guangji.
Guangji and his gang became estranged."
"There is still this matter? Tell me quickly!"
"That has to start from when we were still in Shu County. I was still in Yuanshan at that time."
"Yuanshan! Are you a Yuanshan bandit?"
Shi Bao smiled and nodded: "It used to be, but now it's Yuanshan County. My eighth brother-in-law is still the county captain of Yuanshan County."
Shi Bao told Li Gan in detail what he knew, saw, and heard. In short, everything that happened in Shu County was told to Li Gan in detail. Li Gan listened with great interest, imagining the kind of knife-edge licking in Shi Bao's mouth.
Bloody Day. Following the story told by Shi Bao, one feels yearning, one is disgusted, one is sad, and one is excited. The two of them first sat side by side in the carriage, then back to back, until they were lying on the carriage looking at the stars in the sky.
"Hey!" Li Gan sighed: "I have been in Chang'an since I was a child. My father kept a close eye on us and didn't let us brothers go out casually. We practiced martial arts and calligraphy at home every day. My eldest brother was okay and followed my father everywhere. My second brother and I
I can't go there either. I envy you a lot. You have Brother Su and several of your brothers-in-law. I will never go back this time."
"Then where are you going?"
"Follow you! I will go wherever you go!"
"Haha! Okay, if I, Shi Bao, can take one bite, you can take half of it!"
“It’s a deal!”
"You still don't believe it? How about we become sworn brothers?"
"Sworn sworn homage?"
Shi Baoyi sat up and said, "In our Yuanshan, if two people want to support each other, they should sworn sworn brothers. They should become brothers of the opposite sex. If they share difficulties, they should share blessings."
"Okay! Let's sworn sworn friends." Li Gan also got up.
Shi Bao thought for a while: "Wait a minute, I'm going to find Xiao Jinzi. The three of them can help me."
"What do I do?"
"Go and prepare the incense and candle offerings."
In the eyes of the children, everything is beautiful, and they do whatever they think of immediately. From planning to steal a horse in the afternoon to becoming sworn friends now, the span is a bit big, but no one feels uncomfortable.
Shi Bao went to find Hawking, and Li Gan sneaked in to find incense and candle offerings, and soon everything was ready. Shi Bao also pulled the sleepy Hawking to the stable. Hawking was very unwilling to be disturbed from his sweet dreams, but he couldn't resist Shi Bao.
, had no choice but to follow. As soon as he heard the two boys' suggestions, he suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Okay, let's sworn sworn friends!"
The incense candles were lit and the sacrifices were placed. The three boys knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the moon in the sky several times. They followed Shi Bao and said the words of Yuan Shan's sworn vows. They kowtowed and the sworn vows were completed.
Brothers of the opposite sex. Hawking is the eldest, naturally the eldest brother, Shi Bao is the second, the second brother, and Li Gan is the youngest, the third brother. The boys kept shouting new names to each other in excitement, and their faces turned red with excitement.
Gongsun He Rong's body was numb, so he opened the tent and went straight to the brazier. Everyone was not asleep yet. The mountains, water and scenery were so beautiful that it was best to drink and chat.
Li Danghu was the first to speak: "Did they really go steal horses?"
Gongsun He nodded. Li Danghu was furious: "You brat, you actually learned how to steal. Let me break his hand."
Gongsun He glanced at Li Danghu: "Don't get excited, you didn't succeed in stealing."
Jingjia chuckled: "I told you, my Moyu only recognizes me, they can't steal it."
"It's not that your Mo Yu is great, it's that these boys are so good at playing!" Gongsun He rubbed his hands and poured himself a glass of wine: "You will never imagine what they turned horse stealing into?"
"What has it become?"
"Sworn vows!"
"Sworn sworn vows? Who is sworn sworn to whom?" Li Danghu was stunned for a moment.
Gongsun He drained the glass of wine: "There are Huo Jin, Shi Bao and Li Gan, calling for eldest brother, second brother and third brother over there!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed.
"This...!" Li Danghu was speechless for a moment.
Gongsun He suddenly said: "How about we also become sworn brothers? I think they are quite formal. There are quite a few brothers in my family, but what can I say? We are not as happy together as we are. Everyone is thinking about my father's title.
They are incompatible with each other. This kind of opposite-sex brother is very nice and not so dirty."
Gongsun He's proposal did not receive a response from everyone, which was quite embarrassing. Su Rendao: "Those two idiots were deceived by Shi Bao, and you still say that he is good?"
"You lied, why?" Wei Qing was puzzled.
Su Ren smiled: "I brought Shibao from Yuanshan. Where is Yuanshan? I used to be a bandit from Yuanshan. I lived there since I was a child. I have seen a lot of intrigues. It's not surprising that one day we are brothers and the other is at war with each other tomorrow."
"Huo Jin is a rough guy. He is good at martial arts, but his writing skills are not worth mentioning. So he has martial arts but no brains. What about Li Gan? Not to mention, he needs martial arts and literary talent, but he is too young; besides, he has martial arts skills and literary talent.
Look at Shi Bao, he can't be good at anything but martial arts. He is protected by his eldest brother above and blocked by his third brother below. He, the middle child, can naturally live a comfortable life. Don't underestimate this Shi Bao. He has more thoughtfulness than anyone else.
"
"Ah! There is such a thing?" Gongsun He was surprised: "Isn't it? It's just a few children, just for fun."
"Hehehe." Su Ren smiled: "Just wait and see how Shi Bao deceives his eldest brother and third brother."
Before he finished speaking, Hawking entered the big tent. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Jingjia and knelt down to Jingjia with a thud: "Mr. Jing, I want to trade my Black Wind for your horse?"
Thorny smiled: "Why?"
"Because my third brother likes it, I gave it to him in exchange for your horse."
Su Ren smiled at everyone, with a kind of expression.
Gongsun He quickly asked: "Whose idea was this? Your Black Wind is a good horse."
"The second brother said that he would give up anything for his brothers."
Huo Jin couldn't get up from his knees, and Ji Ji was a little embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and wanted to give Mo Yu to Huo Jin. But Su Ren got up early and kicked Huo Jin on the butt: "Go away, call Shi Bao, the dog-headed military advisor will do it."
That's right, you idiot was fooled, why didn't he come?"
"He has no horse!"
"If he doesn't have a horse, he can change it himself!"
After kicking and beating Hawking out of the tent, the atmosphere in the big tent was not right. Li Danghu frowned and was thinking about whether to send Li Gan back to Chang'an. Wei Qing and Gongsun He looked shocked, and Jingji was a little embarrassed.
Don't know what to say.
Ying Guangji moved towards Su Ren: "Why don't you give this stone treasure to me?"
"Get out of here! This kid is already bad, and he will be even more lawless if he is handed over to you! Don't even think about it!" Seeing Ying Guangji's smile, Su Ren continued: "I'm warning you, if you dare to throw rocks
It’s Bao’s idea, I guarantee that your Black Ice Taiwanese chickens and dogs will not be left behind!” (To be continued)
