"You are using your power for personal gain!"
After being open-mouthed in surprise for a while, Pei Wende had to admit that Jiang was indeed still hotter with age.
If things are really as old man Cao said, then the risk Pei Wende will bear will be much smaller, and at most he will be charged with "pretending to be a post officer".
Not to mention that the post officers in this remote area were not taken seriously, and no one would be free enough to check the authenticity of the identity of the post officer delivering the message.
Even if someone really wants to investigate, Pei Wende believes that Old Man Cao must have corresponding countermeasures.
Pei Wende even wondered whether Old Man Cao's behavior was some kind of unspoken rule among various inns.
After all, the entire Tanzhou probably doesn’t have two copies of truly dangerous intelligence information throughout the year.
For this reason, it is necessary to keep several thousand-mile horses all year round. This has to be said to be a huge waste. Naturally, some people will have this idea.
"Just tell me if you need it!"
Instead of responding directly to Pei Wende's complaints, Old Man Cao just urged in a lowered voice.
"Yes, of course!"
Seeing this situation, Pei Wende did not show any pretense and expressed his attitude very straightforwardly.
"It's just that I've never ridden a horse. Which of these thousand-mile horses is the docile?"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After burning a stick of incense, we were in the stable behind the inn.
Old Man Cao looked silently at the young man riding on the horse not far away, his hands loosening the reins and playing with various tricks.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether the other person was being modest or expressing Versailles when he said he couldn't ride a horse.
If this is considered not knowing how to ride a horse, then what qualifications do those people who have worked hard to train for most of their lives have to say that they can ride a horse?
"It seems a little simpler than I thought?"
Not knowing what Old Man Cao was thinking, Pei Wende expressed his emotion after some operations.
He originally thought that even if he had superhuman physical fitness and coordination, learning to ride a horse would not be something that could be solved in a short time.
But the reality was even more exaggerated than Pei Wende imagined. After he officially became a practitioner, he could no longer be explained by common sense in all aspects.
Pei Wende's strong physical fitness and coordination enable him to quickly adapt to the bumps on the horse.
As for "horse training", which is the most difficult task for ordinary people, Pei Wende is like cheating, able to directly make the horse understand his intentions.
Although this is because these thousand-mile horses are excellent horses that have been trained for many years, it also relies more on the new abilities that Pei Wende gained after his "enlightenment".
This is not some magical power, but an amazing ability to learn and empathize.
Pei Wende was able to understand the mood of these thousand-mile horses through some inconspicuous details, and quickly adjusted his movements and postures to let the horses understand his intentions.
Therefore, after Pei Wende got on the horse, he behaved like those members of the nomadic tribe who grew up with horses, achieving a certain degree of "human and horse unity."
"You don't act like a beginner at all."
Seeing that Pei Wende had become accustomed to the bumpy feeling caused by riding a horse and was able to quickly and accurately master the thousand-mile horse, Old Man Cao slowly stepped forward.
"Maybe it's because I have better talent, right?"
Seemingly realizing that his performance was a bit too much, Pei Wende forcefully pressed down on the excitement brought about by riding a horse for the first time and explained.
"maybe!"
Old Man Cao, who dismissed the topic lightly and didn't want to pursue any further questions, took out a letter and a public examination from his arms.
"This is a letter and official document. You can just hand it over to the post officer there when you arrive in Changsha."
There was a slight pause in his tone. Old Man Cao seemed a little afraid that Pei Wende wouldn't understand what he said, so he emphasized it again.
"Remember, give this piece of public inspection to the post officer as well, and he will take care of everything that follows."
This public verification is actually the identity certificate of a post officer. If Pei Wende ran away with this public verification, it would be equivalent to a post officer losing his identity certificate. This is a very serious matter.
But Old Man Cao is not worried that Pei Wende will run away. He has already lent the other party a thousand-mile horse, so what big deal is it if he borrows one more for inspection?
He was just a little worried that Pei Wende didn't understand the importance of this certification. When the time comes when the station can't keep up with the information, that would be a real big trouble.
"clear!"
Taking the envelope and the formal examination smoothly, Pei Wende, who had social experience in his previous life, instantly understood the fishiness involved.
It seemed that just as Pei Wende had expected, Old Man Cao indeed had countermeasures in place, and the post officer responsible for the response over there seemed to be his accomplice.
Or simply as Pei Wende guessed, this is actually some kind of unspoken rule between the stations.
"..."
Looking at Pei Wende silently, Old Man Cao said nothing more, turned around and gave up his position to indicate that the other party could leave.
Tap tap tap...
So, Pei Wende, who was riding for the first time, pulled the reins without hesitation. The docile thousand-mile horse immediately stamped its hooves on the ground and let out a long neighing sound.
In just a moment, Pei Wende quickly disappeared from Old Man Cao's sight.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the inn, in a remote room.
"Dad, is this really okay?"
A young man who looked about the same size as Pei Wende frowned and couldn't help but ask Old Man Cao next to him.
"Forget it about my public inspection. If he rides the thousand-mile horse away and never returns it, not even the Li family can save your life."
However, in the face of the young man's doubts, Old Man Cao remained silent as before, as if he had not heard what the other party said at all.
"well."
In desperation, the young man could only sigh depressedly.
"You have already helped the Li family too much. No matter how many favors you have, you will have to pay them back, right?"
"Or are you really just like what they said, and you have a crush on someone else's mistress?"
His words revealed the unique unruly and free spirit of young people. As an adopted son adopted by Old Man Cao, he knew much more about his old man than outsiders.
"If you feel you are free, you can go to the front to help."
Hearing this, Old Man Cao glanced directly at the young man.
"If you still have free time, go to the backyard and squat on horseback until dinner time."
As soon as these words came out, the young man was so frightened that he crossed his hands and put them against his mouth, indicating in a panic that he would stop talking nonsense.
Old Man Cao has a notoriously bad temper. The young man who knows this well does not dare to bet on whether the other party will keep his word. Anyway, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
[It seems they were right, they really took a fancy to...]
