Although Jiang Long was very nervous at this time, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility, "These two spiders are both different species. They are very rare. It would be a pity to kill them."
Sang Zhu was a little flustered, so she didn't notice Tudu's movements. She turned her head and saw that Tudu had drawn out her two axes, and immediately reached out to stop her. She had always been quiet and even seemed a little timid. At this time, a few rays of cold light burst out in her eyes.
"What are you going to do? Black purple and bright green were found by my grandfather who took me back to southern Xinjiang to search for several years despite all the hardships.
You are not allowed to kill it!"
Tudu saw Sang Zhu change his face, Jiang Long also stopped him, hesitated for a moment, and then put away his axes.
"Young Master." Gundyback came to Jiang Long anxiously.
Jiang Long waved his left hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to the mulberry spider: "Do all the spiders you raise like poison?"
"How did the young master know?" Mulberry Spider was stunned for a moment before replying: "On weekdays, I feed them poisons and poisonous juices. Only by feeding them more poisons can their own poisons be more potent.
It’s awesome!”
Hearing these words, everyone around them felt their scalps go numb.
Especially when the person who said this was a pretty little girl.
"This is it."
Jiang Long finally found the reason. He stretched out his left hand and lifted up his right sleeve again. A gleaming dagger was exposed along with his arm, and the big green spider crawled on the dagger.
Come and crawl.
Fan Ren had keen eyesight and saw a touch of green in the cold light reflected by the dagger, "Is there poison on the dagger?"
"Yes." Jiang Long slowly stretched out his hand and took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve. When the dagger was in the cliff cave, it was cut into a gap because it blocked the masked leader's final attack.
It's a new one found by Jiang Long.
The overall length is seven inches, and the blade is four inches long. It is extremely sharp. Jiang Long carefully smeared it with poison hidden under the bed when he was at home.
"Mulberry spider, the two big spiders you raised have a very keen sense of smell, and this one named Yinglu is even more amazing. It must have discovered the poison on the dagger through the smell, so it crawled on it unknowingly.
On my body." Jiang Long saw that Yinglu was very greedy for the poisonous dagger, crawling around, and from time to time lowering his head to nibble on the blade. Just to make sure that his guess was correct, he explained.
"Young Master, the poison on this dagger must be very powerful." The Mulberry Spider reached out to take the dagger. The Heizi crawling on the ground immediately turned around and crawled towards the Mulberry Spider, "I feed them poison on weekdays.
, all feeding their stomachs.
If the poison is not strong enough, they will appear languid and eat very little."
The bowl of poison that Jiang Long asked Yao's mother to cook was naturally very powerful, and it would seal your throat at the sight of blood!
The poison is several times more powerful than the poison carried by these two big spiders themselves.
However, Jiang Long did not explain. The poisoned dagger was an important means of saving his life in critical situations. If Yinglu had not crawled into his sleeve unknowingly today, he would not have let others know.
He carries a poisonous dagger with him.
Hei Zi followed the mulberry spider's right leg and soon reached the dagger.
Then it ate up the poison on the dagger like a bright green.
Jiang Long asked worriedly: "The poison up there is very strong, won't it kill them both?"
Mulberry Spider is now his personal guard, and these two big spiders are Mulberry Spider's trump card. If Mulberry Spider is poisoned to death, its strength will naturally be greatly damaged.
For Jiang Long, the more powerful his personal bodyguards are, the better.
"Probably not." The Mulberry Spider carefully observed the performance of the two big spiders, "They are eating very happily."
Chai Shirong, who came from a wealthy family, turned green when he heard this.
"There was a little accident, please forgive me."
Seeing that the two big spiders stayed on the dagger and stopped running around, Jiang Long bowed his hands to Chai Shirong and others.
"Brother Jiang Long is so brave, he dares to bring such a maid..."
Chai Shirong looked at Sang Zhu with a hint of fear in his eyes, but before he finished speaking, Jiang Long chuckled and interrupted, "She's not a maid, she's my personal guard."
"I underestimated the Jing family." Fan Ren said at this moment, "I heard that back then, Mr. Jing and Mr. Jing liked to make friends with talented people from all over the world. Today, I saw this girl's methods.
I just believe those rumors are true!"
"The three of us brothers were born and raised in Northern Xinjiang. We don't know much about the deeds of Jing Laohou, who has been guarding Nanman for many years, but Jing Xiaohou is definitely a real hero who likes to make heroes!" Qi Wei often said
Everyone talks about Mr. Jing Xiaohou with an expression of admiration.
Qi Wu and Qi Xiong also agreed.
Hearing the sincere admiration of the three Qi brothers for their father who had died on the battlefield and got it for free, Jiang Long pretended to be grateful and handed over to the three of them.
Seeing that the descendants of Jiang Long, a great hero in their hearts, were so polite to them and others, the three brothers of the Qi family, who put loyalty first, were moved. Qi Wei even patted his chest and promised: "If Mr. Jing is like Jing Xiaohou in the future,
I was sent to the north to guard the border for the imperial court. Just come to Qijiapu to find us three brothers!
We three brothers have no other abilities, but we know a lot about the nomadic foreign tribes in northern Xinjiang.
When the time comes, we will serve as your personal soldiers, and we can also give you some advice along the way."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
After hearing Qi Wei's words, Chai Shirong and Fan Ren both frowned slightly. Now who doesn't know that the Marquis of Jing Mansion has been taken back by the emperor? Now that Qi Wei is saying this, isn't it just adding salt to Jiang Long's wounds?
?
However, to their surprise, Jiang Long was extremely forthright. He stepped forward and patted Qi Wei on the shoulder, "Brother Qi, there is no need to be so polite. From now on, just call me by my name, Jiang Long."
"How can this happen?" The three brothers Qi Wei and Qi Wei, all of whom were old men and of low status, refused.
But Chai Shirong interjected with a smile at this time: "Why can't you do it? You call him Mr. Jing and call me Master Chai. It's really too foreign. From now on, you will call us by our names!"
Seeing that Chai Shirong and Jiang Long, who were of noble birth, had become friends through their own lives, the three brothers of the Qi family were inexplicably moved.
This is an era when individuals are divided into three, six or nine grades. There are really not many young men from aristocratic families who can abandon their noble status and make friends with Cao Mang.
After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Long and others set off in the direction of Wushi Town.
Jiang Long originally wanted to invite a few people to ride in the carriage, but Chai Shirong waved to the small forest not far away, and saw several guards walking over with seven tall horses.
"Nice horse!"
Seeing how beautiful these horses were, Jiang Long couldn't help but praise them.
Unexpectedly, Chai Shirong curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Who doesn't know that the old Marquis Jing liked horses and the young Marquis Jing liked to boil eagles?
If these horses are placed in my brother's house, they can only pull carriages at most."
Hearing what he said, everyone turned their attention to the Jingfu carriage.
Jiang Long knew very little about Jing Laohou and Jing Xiaohou, but he did seem to have some impression of them in his memory.
"what a pity!"
After carefully looking at the horses pulling the cart in Jingfu for a while, Fan Ren suddenly let out a long sigh.
The three Qi brothers also smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
As Chai Shirong expected, the horses pulling the cart were all more powerful than the mounts Chai Shirong had chosen for them.
Jiang Long really didn't pay attention in the past, but after some comparison, he realized that the horses pulling his cart were all good horses.
Jiang Long felt a little embarrassed at this time.
The horses that he pulls are better than others' horses, but he had previously praised the other's horses as good horses.
Someone with a smaller mind would definitely think that he was mocking.
"Brother Jiang Long, why don't you sell me some of your good horses?" Chai Shirong is also a good horse person. At this time, he was a little itchy and rubbed his hands and said: "The price is easy to say!"
"Let's talk about this later." Jiang Long laughed.
Chai Shirong looked helpless.
BMWs are rare to see and hard to find. If it were him, he wouldn't sell them easily.
I remember an interesting story back then. The emperor took a fancy to a good horse owned by Mr. Jing Laohou and wanted to pay a lot of money to buy it.
But Mr. Jing Laohou was lying on the ground and rolling around, refusing to sell.
At that time, the emperor's face turned pale with anger.
For this reason, the emperor kept wearing small shoes for Mr. Jing Laohou from time to time, but in the end, the emperor was unable to buy the horse back from Mr. Jing Laohou.
The three Qi brothers were born in northern Xinjiang, so they can easily tell the quality of horses from bad ones.
Looking at the horses pulling the cart for Jingfu, I feel sorry for myself.
Only by actually going to the battlefield and facing the nomadic foreign armies in northern Xinjiang can we truly understand the importance of good horses!
War horses were scarce in the Da Qi Dynasty. Although there were several cavalry troops in Northern Xinjiang, the number was much smaller than the cavalry troops of the nomadic foreign tribes.
Everyone knows that cavalry is far more powerful than infantry.
Most of the border sergeants are infantry. If there is an invasion by foreign cavalry, they will choose to hide in the city wall like a turtle to defend themselves against the enemy.
But not all the people at the border lived in the city. Once there were no soldiers to protect them, these people would be allowed to be plundered and massacred by the aliens.
Precisely because they often have to face burning, killing and looting from foreign tribes, many border people or large families will live together and build tall fortresses to resist. Qijiapu is like this, and there will also be training in the fort.
militia.
Training troops and buying weapons require a lot of money.
The three Qi brothers, like most people, would choose to trade with hostile alien races.
Nomadic aliens like tea and are short of salt. You can earn a lot of money by trading these two items with them.
In addition, porcelain and silk are also hard currencies.
The three Qi brothers were arrested this time because someone reported that they were doing business with foreigners.
"Brother, in my opinion, even the many captains' mounts on the border are not as powerful as the horses that pull the carriages in Jingfu."
"It's such a pity. Those horses should be given to the generals in the frontier army who have repeatedly made military exploits."
Qi Wu and Qi Xiong both sighed repeatedly.
Qi Wei thought the same way.
In northern Xinjiang, I don’t know how many sergeants were unable to catch up with the enemy because their horses were too weak.
There are also countless sergeants who were overtaken and killed by the enemy because their mounts ran too slowly!
However, although Qi Wei felt that the pearl was covered with dust and that a good horse was overqualified to pull the cart, the horse belonged to the Jing family, so he could not make the decision.
At this time, Fan Ren and Hong Tiezhu were already on their feet.
Chai Shirong and Hou Jiang even rode forward on horseback, whipping their whips.
The three Qi brothers looked back regretfully and jumped on their horses.
Jiang Long first ordered Jiang Jun to go to Lin Ya's carriage to briefly explain the reason for the stop, and then returned to his own carriage.
"Young Master, who are those people?"
"Looks so fierce!"
Baoping and Jade Hairpin had been hiding in the car, but they secretly lifted a corner of the car curtain to look outside.
Just as Jiang Long turned around and came back, the two women said one after another.
"The one in the white shirt is called Chai Shirong, from the residence of Duke Chengguo..." Jiang Long gave a general introduction to the jade hairpin and the treasure vase.
"That's just Mr. Chai. He's also a young man from a noble family, but there are a few others..."
After hearing this, Yuchai felt that except for Chai Shirong, the others were of low status and were not worthy of being Jiang Long's friends.
Jiang Long waved his hand gently, interrupting Yuchai's words, "Didn't my grandfather and father also like to make friends with people in the world?
Those people are all very skilled and may be useful in the future.
Remember, when you get to the garden for the outing later, bring out the wine and food generously, don’t be too stingy, and, jade hairpin, don’t wear everything on your face.”
