For thousands of years, horses have been the most cherished and important livestock in all countries.
People in the world love horses, especially people in the world.
Firstly, they travel around all year round and spend a lot of time with horses; secondly, the rivers and lakes are dangerous and they are prone to danger, and horses can often be used as their escape.
Therefore, people in the world love horses, especially horses.
However, horses have always been expensive and often hard to find. Haven't you heard, "A thousand pounds is easy to get, but a good horse is hard to find?"
The family will be prosperous for hundreds of years, regardless of wealth. An Ruqing has been lacking in everything since she was a child, and even has a dull temperament.
There was only one thing, but he liked it to the core of his heart.
This thing is his extremely rare snow-predator horse.
There are more than sixty kinds of horses that can be called good horses in the world. Among them, there are three of the best, the "Blood Horse" from Shatuo Kingdom, the "Kong Gu" from Xianma Kingdom and the "Yuyang" from Snow Kingdom.
An Ruqing's Snow Bird of Prey is a variant of Yuyang Horse.
This snow bird has pure white fur, long limbs, and tight tendons. It is born with a sense of nobility. It is not only extremely fast, but also has excellent endurance. It can run for 1,200 miles without stopping. It is truly the best. Excellent.
It was almost dusk, and there were few pedestrians on the post roads on the outskirts of the city.
An old couple was almost trotting among them, the man carrying the burden, heading towards the city gate. If they could not enter the city before it closed, they would have to stay under the city gate all night.
A gust of wind rippled past, and the two of them couldn't help but turn their heads, only to see the golden afterglow shining on a white shadow, and they lost sight of it for an instant.
The so-called white horse passes by, perhaps it should be so.
A horse carries a person, and a breath of dust disappears. The horse is white, the man is dressed in white, both are worthy of each other.
Xu Jinye held the reins with his left hand and stroked his mane with his right hand. His eyes were lightly closed, his face was smiling, and his heart was beating wildly.
It is indeed a good horse! Xu Yanye was riding on the horse and couldn't help but sigh, with a trace of jealousy in his heart, "An Ruqing has such a good horse, why don't I?"
"I'm willing to exchange ten thousand gold for a good horse, but God won't give it to me?"
... ...
The Dahua imperial court had a yamen that was responsible for the conduct of public affairs, called the Jiyan Division, which was subordinate to the Sikong Mansion. It had always been a sinecure that was not taken seriously.
Ji Yanzheng Siguan is a junior rank, and Lu Jianyou has never met the emperor in the five years since he took office. Today, for the first time, he was waiting outside Qinzheng Hall.
Although he held a sinecure, he did not fool around too much. He did not dare to conceal today's matter.
After reading the rumors collected by the plainclothes walk, he was immediately stunned and hurriedly called in a few stewards to question them. After sorting out the whole story, he went to Shangshutai and asked to see the regent, Prince Duan.
"Plop...Plop..." Lu Jianyou was outside the palace and could only hear his own heartbeat.
He has been waiting outside the palace for an hour.
All three kings died, and King Yun was imprisoned. Almost all government affairs were decided by King Duan alone.
He was very busy. He got up before the rooster crowed, and the rats didn't rest even after they came out of their holes. He didn't even bother to eat or drink in the meantime.
Are you tired? Of course I am tired. King Duan did not dare to say he was tired.
Emperor Yonghua had been ill for a long time and was unconscious all day long. Nearly half of the ministers who could be used in the court were lost. The local abuses were getting deeper and the people's resentment was growing. In such a critical situation, he would not hesitate to break his body, not to mention the physical fatigue.
"Hmm~~~" Prince Duan breathed heavily and stared, looking at the report sent by the Chief Secretary of Shanghe County.
After Xia Muren's death, no one took charge of the aftermath of the flood in Pingzhou. The rotten corpses that were not buried breed the disease, which has now spread to Bingzhou and Huanzhou, killing more than a thousand people.
There are three major disasters in the world: natural disasters, wars and epidemics.
If the epidemic is not controlled in time, the consequences will be disastrous, and it is not uncommon for an entire city to die.
"Who will be sent to treat this epidemic?" King Duan raised his head and thought hard.
He thought of a person, "Mei Siyuan can naturally cure it, but the salt administration has just started to improve, so he has to be in charge. Alas... The epidemic is difficult to cure, and the salt administration is difficult to manage, but there is only one Mei Siyuan in Dahua." ah."
After a long time, he approved a few lines of small words in the political records of Shangshutai: Mei Siyuan, the Secretary of the Salt Transportation Department of Zhao'an, came to the capital to perform his duties.
"Dong~~~dong~~~" The clock sounded twice in the leaky room.
King Duan heard the sound of the time, and while reading the fold, he called the eunuch on duty next to him: "What time is it?"
"Return to the Prince Regent, it's already time to be ugly." The eunuch on duty replied respectfully.
"Oh, it's so late!" King Duan said with surprise. Yan Bi stretched his muscles and stood up with crutches.
As soon as he stood up, the eunuch on duty reported with some embarrassment: "Prince Regent, Mr. Lu from the Collection Department has been waiting for three hours to see you."
"Jiyan Secretary?" King Duan frowned, thoughtfully, and said sternly: "Let him in quickly!"
... ...
It was late at night and everything was quiet, but Mei Yuanchen still had trouble falling asleep. He lay on the bed tossing and turning, his mind was in chaos, making him feel angry.
Troubles are hard to resolve, and even though I know it’s useless to think too much, I can’t help but think about them. Therefore, the more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the more confused and annoyed I become; the old worries are not resolved, and new worries are added.
"Chengxuan is in a difficult situation, how can I help him?"
"Miss Yi is only afraid of me... But I have an engagement with Haitang and Yiyi, and I must not let them down. How can we get the best of both worlds?"
... ...
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the inn.
"Dudu... Dudu..." Someone got off the horse and walked under the porch.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There were three knocks on the door outside the store, and then a man called inside, "Store, there are customers arriving, please open the door!"
There are no lights in the house, and the starlight from outside cannot come in, so the eyes cannot see. In the darkness, someone vaguely said "Here we come", and then there was the sound of the fire being lit.
The dim light illuminated a rather plump figure, the innkeeper walking out of the night watch hut.
"Squeak~~~"
The door opened, and outside was a tall young man in white.
"Sir, would you like to stay at the hotel?" the innkeeper asked with half-open eyes.
"Here are five taels of silver. Let me ask you about two people." The young man in white said seriously.
The innkeeper was still half asleep and half awake, his eyelids were trembling. After hearing the words of the young man in white, he couldn't help but feel sleepy for a while. After looking at the things he handed over in his hand, his whole body suddenly became energized. He stood up and replied with a smile: "Your honor, please speak! Xiao Ke must tell you everything you know, and tell the truth!"
The young man in white threw the silver ingot over and asked, "You have two men and two women here today, one old and one young, and both women are beautiful?"
It was Xu Jinye who drove up overnight.
The innkeeper thought about it for a moment and replied with a smile: "Yes! Yes! Yes! They arrived more than two hours ago and are taking a rest here."
After hearing this answer, Xu Jinye finally showed a smile on his face.
"Who are you? What do you want from us?" At this moment, Mei Yuanchen appeared behind him and asked in a cold voice.
