Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

The border town is located on the border of several countries. Merchants from Korea, Zhao, Wei, and Qin all gather here, and sometimes there are even rouge, cattle, horses and gold ornaments from the Huns.

Dongshi is a place where cattle are sold in the border town. It mainly sells cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, donkeys and mules, as well as the feathers of wild pheasants and the fur of various wild animals. Locked in the stalls and eating fodder, businessmen from all over the world stood by the stalls wearing thick animal fur coats, whipping slaves to work while waiting for buyers to come to their door.

People came and went in the square city, and the stinky smell of feces and urine from the livestock mixed with the bloody smell of the whips on the slaves, forming an unspeakable smell, which reminded Ah Zheng of the time when he was in Handan, Zhao State. The market that Ke accompanied him to was full of slaves of all kinds. I don't know if Qing Ke accompanied Ah Li to find his sister right now.

Meng Tian grabbed Ah Zheng, who had stopped in a daze before he knew it, shook him, and pointed to a stall: "Look! This is the place that sells horses that I told you about earlier."

Ah Zheng followed Meng Tian to see the horses enclosed in the fence.The horses in this family were divided into two halves, one half was an adult horse, most of them had wounds, their limbs were firmly bound by straw ropes, and they could not move; Move around freely.

Meng Tian looked at these crooked horses, frowned with dissatisfaction, and complained to the horse dealer: "Meng Shang, did you make a mistake? I just bought a batch of good horses because of what you said earlier. I just brought my friends to see it. Look at what kind of horses you have, they are so short, how can someone choose them?"

The horse seller retorted disdainfully: "What do you know about a good horse?" He pulled Meng Tian and Ah Zheng closer, and whispered in their ears: "This is a horse I specially brought back from the grassland. Although this kind of horse is a little short, it is cold-resistant and durable. It is not a problem to run a hundred miles in half a day. Let me tell you, this horse is fierce. It can kick a jackal's head with a lift of its hoof. When I set them up, I lost a lot of hands."

Meng Tian looked at him suspiciously: "Meng Shang, you are not fooling me, are you?"

Seeing that Meng Tian didn't believe him, the businessman turned around angrily and left: "I've been in business for so long, which time have I cheated people in business? If you don't believe me, then leave as soon as possible."

Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Meng Shang's belt: "Okay, okay, I trust you. Help me choose two horses, and send a full-grown stallion to the house, and the account will be charged to my father. "

Only then did Meng Shang turn his head and smile happily, and began to patiently ask Meng Tian and Ah Zheng about their specific requirements for picking a horse.

Ah Zheng couldn't answer the Mongolian businessman's question in front of him.He doesn't know horses, and he hasn't ridden a horse yet, so he can only look at Meng Tian for help.

Meng Tian patted Meng Shang directly: "What are you doing? Go and help me pick out all the good horses, and explain how to pick them carefully for my brother by the way." Then he changed his face to Ah Zheng: "Wait for Meng Shang picked out the best horses, you can choose according to your eyes and fate."

Ah Zheng nodded, pointed at Meng Tian to the young businessman who was helping them pick up horses: "Meng Tian, ​​are you familiar with him?"

"Tell me this," Meng Tian scratched the back of his head and smiled honestly: "His name is Meng Shang, and he is a brother of mine. The Meng family has always been a family of generals, and it is the Meng family's destiny to fight on the battlefield. But I don't know if it is Meng Shang. The wrong birth was due to the fact that my family uncle and aunt gave him the wrong name. This kid was killed and refused to join the army when he became an adult, so he did a business of buying and selling."

"So that's how it is." I didn't expect such a family of military generals like the Meng family to have such a rebellious person, it's really inconceivable.

Over there, Meng Shang waved to the two of them, and several slaves were tying the horses he picked out to the fence with thick ropes.He said to the two of them: "Picking a horse is the same as picking a person. First, you have to look at the overall appearance of the horse, whether the face is crooked, whether the neck is too short, whether there is much flesh on the buttocks. If a horse looks If it feels uneven and uncomfortable, then this is not a good horse."

Ah Zheng carefully looked at the foals picked out by the Mongolian merchant and the horses on the other side. Sure enough, these picked out horses were more neat and beautiful than ordinary ones.

"Then to see if the horse's fur is smooth and smooth, you have to shake your hand in front of the horse's eyes to see if they are cross-eyed or blind, and to see if their ears are sensitive, and if the horse's hooves and legs are swollen and injured. See if the horse's walking and running are normal."

While talking, Meng Shang asked several servants to untie the rope and lead the horse to demonstrate.

"The last thing is to put on the saddle and rein and sit on it and ride for a while to see if the horse can be coordinated, whether the hooves are strong, whether it is stable when running, but I don't have a saddle here, so I won't do it for you. Demonstration, when you go back, try to find a pair of saddles. The few horses I picked out, you can choose according to your own eyes."

Meng Tian looked at Ah Zheng and shrugged: "I don't care, Ah Zheng, you can choose first."

There are five horses selected by Mengshang, all of which are male horses, with different colors, gray, pure black, brown and black, bay red, and black with red.Ah Zheng had a hard time making a choice.

"Well, Zai Zai, what are you doing? Are you picking horses?" Lin Ju went online and saw the young man Meng Tian leading Zai Zai standing in front of many ponies.

Ah Zheng nodded in his heart: "Meng Tian and I went out to buy a horse, Ah Ju, what color do you think I should choose?"

"Let me see." Lin Ju zoomed in, clicked on the five foals, and the data of the horses appeared on the game interface, "Cub, choose the pure black one, that horse looks the best. "And the data is the best.

Ah Zheng nodded. He was hesitant between the pure black horse and the bay red horse before, but now he can make a decision.He approached the pure black foal, which was short and about as tall as him. He reached out to touch the foal, and the hot and humid nose of the horse blew into his palms, making his palms itchy.Xiao Maju looked at Ah Zheng with pure black eyes, pure curiosity in his eyes.Ah Zheng understands Ah Ju's mood every time he says he is cute.

He turned to look at Meng Tian: "I want this horse."

Meng Tian nodded and looked at Meng Shang: "Then I want the bay red horse, and you can send these two horses to the mansion when the time comes."

Meng Shang responded: "Okay, how do you choose an adult horse?"

Meng Tian turned his head to look at the group of "crooked melons and cracked dates", and said with disgust: "These horses have too many injuries, so you can't see it too much, let me come and take a look after you raise them well. "

Meng Shang said helplessly: "Who told this group of horses to be too wild? Otherwise, you can't get them. Okay, I will find someone to call you after I have trained, but it will not be the current price."

Meng Tian waved his hand: "I see, let's go first."

Mengshang's stalls are some distance away from the gate tower of Fangshi, and Meng Tian took Ah Zheng for a leisurely stroll in the Dongshi.

Ah Zheng said: "The money for buying the horse will be returned to you when I get back."

Meng Tian slapped Ah Zheng on the shoulder: "No need, just take it as an apology gift from me. After all, my bird broke into your yard and caused you trouble."

Now that Meng Tian said so, Ah Zheng didn't mention it any more.After all, a small pony is not a big deal. Although Ah Zheng has been poor, he is not short of money.When Zhao Guo's father and Lu Aweng were still there, their family was not short of money.And Zhao Ji's natal family, Zhao's family, sent a lot of money as a dowry when Zhao Ji left Zhao State. Zhao Ji took some and put it in Ah Zheng's house, so that he could have fun when he was in the border town these few days.

Ah Zheng thought, when he returned home, he would discuss with A Niang what gift to give Meng Tian in return.

Just as he was thinking like this, a sharp arrow suddenly shot at him from a distance, Meng Tian hurriedly turned sideways and threw Ah Zheng to the ground, but his right arm was already hit by the arrow.

At this time, quietly, a group of people dressed as businessmen with knives and sticks in their hands quietly surrounded him.

Meng Tian protected Ah Zheng behind his back with one hand, while looking at the group of people.

Time freezes, and it's about to explode.
