Chapter 25: Lu Ligong, mother and daughter leave the city(1/2)
Is one hundred taels a lot of silver?
For ordinary people, they may not be able to earn it in their lifetime.
But if it is used to recruit troops, it is estimated that it can only recruit a platoon of bandits.
It’s still the uncensored kind.
When Jiang Yan returned to the inn, it was almost dawn.
I still haven't used the "Yi Xing Jue" to the extreme, and I can't use up the number of changes every time.
He tied the package containing silver to Xiao Bai's back and told him and Xiao Hui to keep an eye on it.
Most of it was the wages he planned to pay to Ma Jun in the evening.
A small part was reserved for himself for future night snacks.
There is still nearly an hour before Mao Shi, and Jiang Yan plans to go out of the city to have a look.
He was a little worried about the hundreds of men wandering outside the city.
These seemingly ownerless horses,
As long as you are seen by others, it is like a child holding gold in the market at night, and it can easily arouse the ill will of others.
We also need to help Yan and her daughter arrange the horses. We have to choose two smart ones.
At this time, most of the patrols in the city knew about Lu Bu.
So Jiang Yan walked out of the city without a care in the world, and no one dared to stop him.
The chief who likes to look at horses’ butts must have taken a break from get off work.
It was a fat man who smiled and narrowed his eyes when he saw him.
The city gate was opened just after Yin hour passed.
Some villagers who came to the city from the countryside to sell vegetables had already formed a thin queue outside the north gate of Shouchun.
Jiang Yan, who had just left the city gate, caught a glimpse of the fat man and the guard giving a few words of warning from the corner of his eye, and then ran towards the city lord's palace.
Probably he went to report to the prefect Shu Shao.
Jiang Yan didn't take it seriously. After leaving the city, he quickly walked to a deserted corner.
With the call of the horse.
A sturdy little horse waiting nearby galloped towards him excitedly.
Jiang Yan pushed away the horse's mouth that was in front of her face, turned over and mounted the little mare.
He patted its neck and signaled to Lu and the others to take him to see him.
The filly ran happily and disappointedly.
I'm happy that I waited all night and finally found my idol.
Disappointed that I had been sticking my butt out for a long time, but my idol was riding on my back.
Jiang Yan didn't know that he was so charming, but he just felt that the little mare under his crotch was shaking too much.
It feels uncomfortable for him to ride, so I'll try another one next time.
One person and one horse wandered around, and soon they got into a remote small valley.
Jiang Yan jumped off the horse and was quite satisfied with the place Lu was looking for.
There are grass, streams, and no human beings or other predators, which is great.
Of course, even if there are one or two tigers, they probably won’t be able to match Lu’s hundreds of horses.
The intelligence of horses in this world is not low, and it is estimated that they are at least as smart as a seven or eight-year-old human child.
Outstanding people like Lu Jueying are probably almost as young as human beings.
It’s not like Jiang Yan’s later generation, which is almost equivalent to a three- or four-year-old human child.
An imbecile horse that only knows how to run away when encountering an enemy, but does not know how to divide labor and cooperate.
As soon as Jiang Yan entered the valley, many mares gathered around him due to the smell.
He covered his nose and looked for Lu's figure. The atmosphere around him was too strong.
Lu and Jueying were soon found under a big tree.
The two guys actually didn't stop at this time, and were still circling each other and kicking each other's butts.
Maybe this is their unique way of entertainment?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan actually saw a person under the big tree.
The man was wearing simple clothes similar to those of a scout, and was tied to the tree trunk with the horse's reins.
There is still a ball of his own pants stuffed in his mouth.
Why is Jiang Yan sure that it is the other party’s own pants, because the man’s lower body has been stripped naked?
The very hot-looking man seems to have been unconscious for a long time.
Jiang Yan took a closer look.
I found a sunken round pit on the back of the man's head.
Well, it was most likely kicked by a horse. I just don’t know which horse kicked it.
There is such a big dent in my head,
Even if he doesn't die, he will probably wake up as Sun Yi... mentally retarded.
It's really a bit pitiful.
It's all my fault...,
No.
It’s all to blame for Lu Yu’s incompetence. From now on, it’s better to pack the delicious food for Jueying to eat.
"Hiss, hiss, what's going on with this guy?" Jiang Yan said to Lu.
"Tweet."
Lu has learned to instruct his subordinates.
As he turned and shouted, a piebald stallion happily ran to Jiang Yan with a letter in his mouth.
Hey, why have I never seen this kind of horse with cow-like patterns in a herd of horses before?
Jiang Yan took the letter and glanced thoughtfully at the unconscious man under the tree.
He understood immediately.
That man was probably the messenger sent by Cao Jun to Yangzhou, but he was intercepted by Lu and others for some reason.
This newly added dappled horse is the messenger’s mount.
Jiang Yan didn't bother to ask what happened to Lu, because describing complex things in horse language was time-consuming.
He directly removed the sealing wax and unfolded the letter paper inside.
"...Lü Bu is a domestic slave of the third surname. He is a treacherous villain, and everyone in the world hates him... If you accept him under your command, Ding Jianyang and Dong Taishi will be a warning to you..."
The letter greatly criticized Lu Bu and used the fate of Lu Bu's two adoptive fathers as a warning.
It looks like the Plus version of later Liu Bei persuading Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu.
At the end of the letter paper is Guo Jia's signature and Cao Cao's personal seal.
It seems that they really want Lu Bu to die.
That's right, once Lu Bu dies, Yuan Shu, who has long been in decline, will have nothing to fear.
If this letter were to be delivered to Yuan Shu, who was already estranged from Lu Bu, he would not dare to reuse it even if he did not kill Lu Bu.
Cao Cao and the others achieved their goal.
It's a pity that by chance, it was intercepted by my horse sons.
Jiang Yan stuffed the letter paper again and put it on the lining of his clothes.
Now that this letter is in his hands, it may actually be of some use.
After doing this, Jiang Yan asked Lu to find two strong and smart war horses.
After explaining to them carefully, they left together on one of the war horses.
Jiang Yan had only been here for a while and was about to leave. The enthusiastic horses were quite reluctant to leave.
The saddest thing was the little mare he rode before.
I don’t know what I did wrong, the idol didn’t ride it back again.
……
Jiang Yan returned to Shouchun City and asked two war horses to wait outside the city.
To be continued...
