Divide the male and female horses into two teams, and connect each horse with a long rope to make the scattered horses into a whole.
The male horses are placed at the front of the procession, and the mares are placed at the front of the procession, and the opposite is true for the mares.
In this way, every horse will chase the opposite sex in front. As long as the horse in front is the fastest, everything will not be a problem.
Just like that, two groups of horses were running wildly behind us, and we pulled the carriage and took the lead.
After running all night, we returned to Alkhan before sunrise the next day.
The horses are good horses and the soldiers are good soldiers. After a night of galloping on horseback, no one even complained about being tired.
Zan's father, Li Zhu, was standing far away at the door. The moment I dismounted, what I saw was the sadness and paleness on his face.
I handed the whip back to him and said with a smile, "What's your expression?"
"you……"
He looked at the crazy Li Ma and murmured, "You're back so soon?"
"It's all over, I'm definitely back!"
As I said that, I babbled at the carriage behind me: "Not only are we back, we also brought you a cart full of gold."
Father Zan's eyes widened for a moment, his face full of disbelief: "Where did it come from?"
As he spoke, he had already run to the carriage and lifted off the black tarpaulin.
"I dug it out of the White Elephant Palace and set it on fire for him."
I pointed to the carriage behind me and whispered, "Look who this is?"
When Zan's father and the White Elephant King met each other's eyes, his tone was trembling: "In three to five days, did you really wipe out the family for him?"
I nodded and leaned into his ear: "Let's talk somewhere else."
After saying that, Ji Canghai and I got into the tent first.
Zan's father had a lot of talk outside, offering rewards and fiefdoms, especially flag officers, who were promoted to three levels in a row.
This is the true leadership style, let the life-threatening brothers have enough to eat, and then someone will continue to work hard next time!
Entering the tent, Zan's father asked impatiently what was going on.
I just responded: "The White Elephant Palace was indeed destroyed, but don't be too happy too soon."
"I haven't seen any of the combat capabilities you mentioned before."
After a pause, I analyzed again: "I suspect that the core strength of Baixiang Palace is not here. Sooner or later they will make a comeback."
"Wouldn't that lead to endless troubles?"
"That's why I burned down the White Elephant Palace and destroyed all traces."
After saying that, I pointed to the door: "He is the second insurance."
"Who? The White Elephant King?"
I nodded and responded: "I am very responsible to tell you that thanks to your early start, he is already ready to fight back. It's just you who strangled him in the cradle this time."
"Remember, after I leave, you must be kind to him!"
"You want him to be a hostage?"
"No." I lowered my voice: "You want to paralyze him."
"Whether it's a hostage or a prisoner. The most important thing is to make him comfortable."
Father Zan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded: "You want him to become Liu Chan, happy and reluctant to miss Shu."
"Yes! Only if you break his will can he give up revenge completely. As for the White Elephant Palace, I have probably forgotten it long ago."
Father Zan took a deep breath, stood up and bowed deeply to me: "You are Al Khan's benefactor."
"No, no, no, don't say that."
I also stopped laughing and said seriously: "I respect your character. Anyone who can sacrifice his own reputation and care about his people will definitely not be a bad person."
"Besides, I told you before I left that I would bring you a big gift."
"You melt all the gold, and each of us will get half of it. No one will lose."
Zan's father waved his hands quickly: "No, no, it's all yours."
"I didn't give you a penny for the goods you brought before. Now you've helped me so much. I really can't let you give me any more."
You're bleeding. "
Father Zan held my hand tightly and said with gratitude: "I will break all the gold into small pieces so that you can take it back home."
I didn't refuse any more and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, I donate it. If you give me a little more, then you should be doing good deeds.
This trip was a fruitful one. Not only did we defeat the White Elephant Palace, we also made a friend. The most important thing was that we brought back a cart full of gold.
Once the dust has settled, we plan to return.
Father Zan was still trying to persuade me to stay, and the terms he offered were more generous than before, but I just smiled and declined them all.
However, having said that, one day I will reach retirement age, and Alkhan is indeed a very suitable place to retire.
To commemorate our short friendship, we left each other’s contact information.
With Father Zan personally escorting us, the journey back was particularly smooth. Three days later, we had returned to Monan.
I haven't been back for a while, and Monan seems to be much more prosperous than before. At least there are cars and people on the road, and the shops along the street are open.
There seemed to be more fireworks on the road.
Although they are all old acquaintances, they have been separated for such a long time, so it is inevitable to be excited when they meet.
Taozi even hugged me and screamed. Xu Mo stood behind him with a shy look on his face and nodded towards Zhi'an.
"Sorry, I've caused trouble to everyone."
Zhi'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not me you should thank, but Chen Qi."
"If he doesn't take action, I can only stare."
After a pause, Zhi'an spoke again: "Well, don't say thank you. Those are all empty words."
"Why don't you become Chen Qi's apprentice? Don't worry about big or small things. You will serve him from the front and back."
