Chapter 16: Stealing the Horse
Chen Xuanfeng in the original time and space was not a kind-hearted person, and the same goes for Chen Xuanfeng after time travel. He was definitely not a holy lady who swept the floor for fear of hurting the lives of ants and cherished moths and gauze lamps. He just weighed the pros and cons and believed that Zhou Botong really couldn't be killed.
.
After collecting the papers and the next volume of scriptures, which were still kept by Mei Chaofeng, the two quietly left the guest room and went to the front hall. Chen Xuanfeng searched for some broken silver and copper plates from behind the counter and put them into his arms, but he couldn't find himself.
The ingot of gold paid in advance was obviously taken away by the shopkeeper.
Mei Chaofeng was also looking for the ingot of gold. When he couldn't find it, he said angrily: "This old guy is running very fast. He just promised to serve us wine and ran away without forgetting to take away the gold! Don't let it go."
I caught..."
Chen Xuanfeng quickly persuaded with a smile: "Forget it, money is a trivial matter, and there is no need to get angry for minor offenses."
Business was important. The two of them left the inn without looking for Shen Qingtong. They left the village of Shenjiamen and went straight west along an official road.
According to Chen Xuanfeng's plan, he and his wife need to arrive at Niujia Village in Hangzhou before April 15th, and today is already the seventh day of April. If they have to walk the whole journey, the time will be a bit tight. What's more, they have to be prepared for the master to leave in a fit of anger.
Then he chased after him.
With Huang Yaoshi's temper, he didn't really stop coming when he saw that he had written in the letter that he didn't want to come. He might even chase him in person.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuanfeng said to Mei Chaofeng: "It's too slow to walk like this. We have to get two horses to walk instead."
Mei Chaofeng had little experience in the world of martial arts. He listened to Chen Xuanfeng in everything he did. He agreed, "Then let's do it. Where can we do it?"
This question also stopped Chen Xuanfeng from asking, yes, where can I get it?
You know, what the Song Dynasty lacked most was horses, especially war horses.
Even many years ago, the Northern Song Dynasty, which had a complete territory, suffered humiliation due to the scarcity of war horses, let alone the Southern Song Dynasty, which only had half of its territory left at this time?
Therefore, in this misty Jiangnan with crisscrossing rivers, it is easy to find a boat, but it is difficult to find a horse. Even among the imperial army, horses are rare and tight. Don’t even think about cavalry. Even if there are a few horses, they can only use
In terms of military information transmission that has extremely high timeliness requirements.
As for the ordinary people in the Jiangnan area, even if their families are wealthy, they don't know how to raise horses. What's the use of raising horses? That is to say, the disciples of Peach Blossom Island learn riding skills in order to make it easier to travel around the world. The two horses on the island are used for
The coach's old horse was bought from the North with the help of Zen Master Minghui of Puji Zen Temple.
So after Mei Chaofeng asked back, Chen Xuanfeng didn't say anything for a while. After a long time, he said, "Let's take a look when we get to Qingyuan Mansion."
Qingyuan Prefecture used to be called Mingzhou. After Emperor Ningzong ascended the throne, he changed the name to Qingyuan and at the same time changed Mingzhou to Qingyuan Prefecture, which shows that he attaches great importance to this administrative region.
In fact, Qingyuan Mansion is the Ningbo of later generations. Qingyuan Mansion is the only place to go from Zhoushan to Hangzhou.
Chen Xuanfeng thought, Qingyuan Mansion is so big that it can’t have two horses, right? As long as you see it, no matter whose it is, whether you buy it or rob it, you have to ride it. As for those along the way, in front of Qingyuan Mansion
There is no need to go in and search for the village, as most of the time you won’t find it, which is a waste of time.
After the discussion was decided, the couple speeded up their journey without stopping for food or drink on the way. As long as there were no pedestrians on the road, they used Qinggong to run quickly. The journey of less than 200 miles took only four hours, and they arrived at dusk.
Finally arrived outside Mingzhou City, Qingyuan Prefecture.
Looking from a distance, Mingzhou City in the dusk gives people a desolate feeling. Perhaps it is because it was set on fire by the Jin soldiers once in the seventh year of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are still traces of smoke and fire on the city wall.
The west city gate was open normally, with pedestrians coming and going in twos and threes. Two soldiers guarding the city were dozing off against the walls on both sides of the city gate. The bamboo hats on their heads drooped forward, covering most of their faces.
, as if telling pedestrians going in and out: Don’t disturb me if you’re sleeping.
Of course, Chen Mei and the others would not disturb the soldiers guarding the city with nothing to do. They slowed down and entered the city directly. When they came to the city, they found a restaurant to fill their stomachs, rested for a while, and then went to find the horses.
Chen Xuanfeng was very dissatisfied with the first meal he had when he traveled back in time. The cooking methods of the Southern Song Dynasty were all steaming and boiling. How could there be so many cooking methods in later generations? The taste of the rice was also very poor. If the fish and shrimp were not so delicious, it would be difficult to eat.
Swallow it below.
It's hard to imagine how, in such a world, Huang Rong, more than ten years later, could make so many delicious dishes to earn a lot of money from Hong Qigong. He was really a cooking genius.
After leaving the restaurant, Chen Mei and the two began to look for horses. According to Chen Xuanfeng's instructions, they walked from east to west. As soon as they found the horses, they left the city through the east gate.
Since we were delayed for an hour at Shenjiamen, we could no longer stay in Qingyuan Mansion. I was afraid that if I stayed for a moment longer, there would be an added danger of being caught by the master.
There is no need to think about the normal mule and horse market. There is no horse market in the entire Qingyuan Prefecture. Where there are no horses, there will be no mules. There are places selling donkeys, but they have dispersed at this time.
If he wanted to buy a horse, he could only look for a house that owned horses. However, the two of them walked from the west of the city to the middle of the city and couldn't find out who owned horses. Seeing that the sun had set over the city in the east, Chen Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel anxious and began to consider whether to buy it.
Two donkeys come to travel.
Although animals like donkeys are often difficult to lead and have a regressive temperament, they can still be ridden if they are well trained.
In this time and space, if the butterfly effect is not considered, then in just over thirty years, Li Mochou will ride a donkey and chase Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang until they have no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth. Although the donkey sprints for a short distance
No, but the better thing is endurance.
Coincidentally, when Chen Xuanfeng was thinking about buying a donkey, he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats behind him. He quickly turned around and saw two horses galloping towards him. He was overjoyed.
Immediately, the two knights also saw Chen Mei and the others on the road ahead. One of them immediately shouted: "The men and women in front get out of the way quickly! Don't miss the important military and national events!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How could Chen Mei and the others get out of the way? They were looking forward to snatching the horse. They didn't care whether the military affairs that the knight said were true or false, and turned around at the same time.
, stand facing the incoming rider.
The other knight's temper was even hotter than that of the previous one. Seeing the two men in front of him behaving like this, he became furious. Before the horse could arrive, he raised his riding whip and whipped it down. The tip of the whip was pointed directly at Chen Xuanfeng's head and face, and he cursed at the same time.
He said: "You two bitches, are you deaf?"
Chen Xuanfeng was not panicked at all. In line with the principle of not beeping if he could take action, he did not retaliate. He even looked at Mei Chaofeng. At this moment of looking at each other, the couple already had a tacit understanding.
.
When the riding whip hit him, Chen Xuanfeng suddenly raised his right arm and grabbed it. The riding whip instantly hit his forearm. He only heard a muffled "pop" sound, as if he was beaten, like hitting a wooden stake, and the tip of the whip
But it was already in his hands.
The imagined crisp sound of the riding whip hitting the human body did not happen. Immediately, the two knights knew that the situation was different, and at the same time their hearts trembled. The person who wielded the riding whip was waiting for his luck to regain it, but Chen Mei and Chen Mei had already taken action at the same time.
Chen Xuanfeng was on the left and struck out a left palm. Mei Chaofeng was on the right and struck out a right palm. The two palms were divided into the vital parts of the ribs of the two horses.
The two of them immediately knew that they were in a tough situation. How could they dare to let their chests and ribs be attacked? They immediately leaned down and tried their best to use one palm each, facing Chen Mei's two palms.
The next moment, there were only two loud bangs, followed by the sound of "click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click click, click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click sound." Two knights fell off their horses screaming in agony.
Chen Mei and Chen Mei didn't care whether they were alive or dead. They got on their horses at the same time and rode straight towards the east city gate.
It wasn't until Chen Mei and the two of them galloped far away that a knight sitting on the ground said harsh words: "You, robbing the army and horses, is tantamount to rebellion. Do you dare to leave your name?"
Mei Chaofeng won the first battle and was in high spirits. When he heard the voice, he shouted without looking back: "Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, come if you have the ability. The security guard will come and kill each one!"
"You..." Chen Xuanfeng accidentally stopped Mei Chaofeng from reporting his family status in time. He wanted to reprimand the latter, but it was too late. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Mei Chaofeng didn't know Chen Xuanfeng's complaint and asked, "What about me?"
"You... are very down-to-earth, well, you are so down-to-earth!" Chen Xuanfeng said through gritted teeth.
