Chapter 99

By the evening, the temperature became even lower, probably close to zero. The strong wind blew across the wilderness, like ghosts crying and wolf howling. Everyone was wrapped tightly, sitting around the fire to keep warm while eating dry food.

The bonfire was beating, slightly dispelling the chill. Other mounts gathered together to keep warm. Only the big green horses cleverly ran to the fire to catch the fire, occupying a place for the boss. While closing his eyes to rest, he chewed the beans in front of him with relish.

Gao Shixiong put the cold and hard bread on the fire and roasted it softly. He glanced at the butt of the big green horse next to him and muttered: "Boss Changqing, you are so good at enjoying this horse. You can't always spoil it, otherwise you will become more and more arrogant... Damn!"

Gao Shixiong exclaimed, and it turned out that his newly baked soft bread was actually rolled into his mouth by the big green horse's tongue. He started chewing happily, and even bared his horse's lips, revealing two rows of teeth, as if he was mocking.

Gao Shixiong was furious and wanted to pick out the dough. As a result, Da Qingma sniffed and sprayed his face with unknown liquid. Gao Shiheng, opposite the fire, couldn't help laughing at the sight of this, and looked gloating. He had suffered such a loss before, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided the other side with his IQ.

Gao Shixiong wiped his face depressedly and complained in anger: "Boss Changqing, take care of your horse, it's too much!"

Gao Bufan drowningly walked the mane of the big green horse and said lightly: "Shixiong, why are you competing with a horse? What's more, if you don't mess with it, it can mess with you, just bake a piece of bread. It's a pity that you can make it. Why don't you touch the tiger's butt!"

Gao Shixiong rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I can't afford to provoke me but I can't hide. As expected, if I have the right master, I will have the same horse."

Gao Shixiong patted his butt and moved away a little bit. When he looked at the long neck of the big green horse, he probably felt that it was not far enough, so he simply ran to another bonfire to continue his baking business, while muttering: "What kind of world is it? Even the horse has become a spirit!"

Cui Hu was both funny and curious: "Qingyun is very human. How did Changqing train him?"

Gao Bufan shrugged and said, "I haven't deliberately trained it. I guess I'm born with it. It's like some people are very smart, while others are very stupid. Qingyun followed me when she was still a foal. In order to cultivate feelings, I slept in the stable for nearly half a year."

"No wonder Changqing and Qingyun cooperated so well in such a tacit understanding when fighting. There are not many people who can train horses so patiently." Cui Hu said in admiration.

Gao Shiheng heard this and was eager to try: "When I find a horse with a thousand miles, I will sleep in the stable like a senior!"

"You can sleep for ten days, I will pronounce the name upside down!" Gao Shixiong curled his lips and expressed his disdain.

Gao Shiheng said angrily: "Then let's take a look."

Gao Bufan was too lazy to pay attention to these two guys. Just like Gao Shou and Gao Ren, they were like the wrong door god. Breaking against each other was their life fun.

Cui Hu glanced at Gao Bufan who was combing his horse's hair in a doting manner, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have asked General Luo that the Liucheng court has been temporarily closed, and the Khitan has not been peaceful recently. In Changqing's opinion, is it necessary for us to buy stallions?"

The so-called quid market is the border trade market opened by the imperial court in the border town. It allows vendors from the two countries to trade with each other, and there is a quid market in Liucheng. Usually, not only the Khitans would come here to trade, but the caravans of the Xi tribe and the Goryeo people would also appear here. However, since the Great Sui Dynasty was about to go to war with Goguryeo, the quid market in Liucheng has been temporarily closed.

Gao Bufan asked back: "The situation in the Khitan side is not good?"

"Not that, the Khitan is a tribal alliance system. According to Governor Luo, the people within the Khitan are not in harmony now. Although most of them still surrender to our Great Sui Dynasty, a small number of them have collusions with the Goryeo people. Recently, they are the small number of Khitans who have been plundering and causing trouble." Cui Hu said in a deep voice.

Gao Bufan's heart moved: "Then if we go directly to the Khitan tribe to buy stallions, will Brother Cui be sure?"

Cui Hu nodded and said, "I am confident that the Khitan tribe is not far from the border line. Many people will speak the Great Sui language and belong to the Great Sui tribe. I have made many transactions with this tribe, so there is absolutely no problem."

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "That's fine. Since we have come, there is naturally no reason to go back empty-handed!"

Cui Huxi said: "I think so too, but some people were killed or injured this time. I am worried that Changqing will not want to take risks again."

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "I'm not so timid and afraid!"

"Haha, I'm too worried!" Cui Hu smiled and said, "With Changqing's courage and wisdom, how could he be afraid?"

Gao Shiheng patted his chest and said, "I have never been afraid!"

At this time, a heavy step came. Everyone looked up and saw a group of people walking towards this side. It was Luo Yi, the governor of Liucheng.

At this time, Luo Yi had already taken off his armor and dressed in casual clothes. Under the escort of several personal soldiers, Gao Bufan and others were about to stand up and say hello, but Luo Yi had already pressed his hands and smiled enthusiastically: "Don't be too polite, continue to cook the fire." After that, he sat down next to the fire very reliably, which was exactly where Gao Shixiong was just now.

"What a good horse!" Luo Yi reached out and touched the mane of the big green horse and praised, but the latter sniffed and immediately sprayed his face again.

"Bold beast!" Luo Yi's personal soldiers were furious and were about to draw their swords. However, Luo Yi reached out to control his hand and wiped his face indifferently and smiled: "Whoever has no temper, and the same is true for a capable horse!"

Gao Bufan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Didn't this guy have a hot temper? It seems pretty good now, and he apologized: "I'm bullying this horse. Usually, no one dares to touch it except me!"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "Haha, the bigger your ability, the bigger your temper will be. The same is true for this general's mount. Only this general can ride it. If anyone dares to ride it, he will swear his hooves. By the way, Manager Cui and Brother Gao are preparing to buy Khitan stallions?"

Gao Bufan nodded: "But I heard that the Liucheng deliberation site has been temporarily closed."

Luo Yi smiled and said, "It's true. The emperor will soon be in charge of the imperial army. In order to prevent spies from storming into the city, border towns in western Liaoning have now suspended border trade and trade."

"Oh, can we buy it directly from the Khitan tribe?" Gao Bufan asked.

Luo Yi shook his head and said, "If it was in the past, it was impossible, but it was not possible at present. In order to prevent spies from entering, all the passes and intersections have been closed. And you have also seen today that a small number of Khitans who were ill-hearted cross-border looting, so it is necessary to close the border. At this time, no one is allowed to cross the border."

Cui Hu and Gao Bufan looked at each other and frowned and said, "Can Governor Luo be able to adapt to it?"

Luo Yi said with a serious expression: "Manager Cui, it's not that I don't give you face. It's really a matter of military and national affairs. I dare not be careless at all!"

Cui Hu said regretfully when he heard this: "It seems that we can only go home empty-handed!"

Luo Yi's eyes rolled and he smiled, "That won't be the case. In fact, there is another way to get the Khitan stallion."

Cui Hu was excited and said, "I hope to hear it carefully!"

Luo Yi glanced at Gao Bufan, who was Gu Jing Wubo on his face, and couldn't help but wonder. Although there was a saying that a young man was old, this kid was too stable!

"That's right. You also know that Gongsun and Kedun are invited by Kedun. Kedun is currently in the Khitan tent, and there are ten days left to Kedun's birthday. You can go to the Khitan tent with Gongsun and celebrate Kedun's birthday, so that this general will have a reason to let you pass through.

Hey, and the opportunity to celebrate Kedun's birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you show your face in front of Kedun, that's the benefit... You all know it yourself. After you celebrate Kedun's birthday, you can buy stallions from the Khitans. Wouldn't it be a good idea to kill two birds with one stone!" Luo Yi said in a straightforward manner.

Cui Hu felt aroused when he heard this. Everyone knew that Princess Yicheng was highly valued by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. Her words were very heavy. If she could leave a good impression on her, it would naturally be a great thing for Cui Shi in Qinghe. So she looked at Gao Bufan and said, "Changqing, do you think so?"

Luo Yi was even more surprised when he heard this. He had dealt with Cui Hu several times, so he knew that this person was smart and capable. At this time, Cui Hu was obviously a little bit arrogant. It can be seen that this son is indeed extraordinary, and he couldn't help but look at him even more.
