At night, Li Ye rushed to the backyard of the temple and saw Pei Min. Zhang Xiaopang had already arrived first and was swinging his sword vigorously. Pei Min gave pointers from time to time.
"Nephew, meet your uncle!"
Pei Min didn't mention anything about him playing polo, as if he didn't know that he was stealing the show today.
Pei Min said lightly: "You are not as serious as Fatty. He arrives a quarter of an hour earlier than you every day."
Li Ye whispered: "I'm practicing calligraphy. I have to write a thousand words every day before I can go out!"
Pei Min looked at him with a slightly softer gaze and said, "Are you planning to move to the west of the city?"
Li Ye nodded, "Mom has agreed, and I can practice martial arts under the Feng River from now on!"
A smile appeared on Pei Min's face, "Fengshui is indeed better than well water. I hope you can break through the basic level in half a year."
"What does elementary mean?"
"Actually, this is my master's understanding. She divided the mind control method into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced. You have just started. Once you break through the elementary level, neither of the two Wei cripples will be your opponent. You can at least protect yourself.
"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked: "How many levels do you need to break through to become a flying immortal sword?"
"Just break through to the intermediate level. If you are extremely talented, you should be able to master it when you are sixteen!"
Li Ye didn't ask any more questions. He walked to the well platform, took off his coat, and jumped into the well with a polo club in hand.
Pei Min stood at the edge of the well and watched the waves turbulence at the bottom of the water. He shook his head secretly. Practicing swordsmanship in the well with Li Ye's talent was indeed a bit tied up.
………..
Early the next morning, Qiao Xingzhong led the horse to Li Ye's house and handed the black horse to him.
Li Ye held the reins and gently stroked its satin fur. It was as black as lacquer and had no color at all, which made him extremely fond of it. When the little flying dragon was brought to him, he fell in love with it at first sight, but he didn't expect that it would eventually belong to him.
, what a fate!
Qiao Xingzhong patted the saddle and said with a smile: "This horse is called Mo Jin. It is only three years old. It is indeed a good horse. Raise it well and don't let it eat grass!"
Li Ye was startled, "If you don't give him grass, what will he eat?"
Qiao Xingzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Eating grass is to raise livestock. War horses need to be fed grain, barley, and black beans. Even if you feed good alfalfa, you must add black bean powder. If you only feed grass, the horse will
It gets thinner and thinner, and finally becomes completely useless. Most people can't afford to raise a war horse, so it's really inconvenient. You can leave the horse in the palace and let the palace's grooms take care of it."
Seeing that there was no one around, Qiao Xingzhong lowered his voice and said: "In polo matches, all kinds of despicable methods are used, and attacking horses is the most common. People in our team keep the horses in the palace for fear of being attacked. I can
Not referring to Yang Hui, but others."
Li Ye also thinks it makes sense. If such a good horse is kept in Yonghefang, it will be hated by others. There are many disgusting men who want to take advantage of their mothers. These people have a grudge because they cannot succeed, and they are likely to attack the horse.
In fact, this was also an important reason why Li Ye wanted to move away from Yonghefang. He did not want his mother to go out carrying a hammer all day long.
"Okay! I'll ride for a while today and then I'll take you to the palace in the afternoon."
Qiao Xingzhong said happily: "Team Gao asked me to inform you that we will come to the palace early tomorrow morning and the team will start training and cooperate. Five days later will be the first official game of the Ningwang team, which is against the Yang family polo team."

Qiao Xingzhong rode away. Li Ye said hello to Aunt Mu and got on his horse. He happened to be going to see a house outside the city and test his horse power.
"Aye, wait for me!"
When Li Ye turned around, he saw Zhang Xiaopang riding a big green donkey. Li Ye was immediately discouraged. How could he test the horse power with this donkey holding him back?
Zhang Xiaopang said with a smile: "I knew you would definitely go out to the city to try out the horses, and you just happened to have a look at my shop."
"Let's go! I'll wait for you in front."
Li Ye clamped his legs and pulled the reins, "Drive!"
Mo Jin galloped with his hooves up, running a dozen steps away in the blink of an eye. It was completely different from the old horse he had before. He felt a strong force, like a tractor replaced by a Mercedes-Benz. He
I was so excited that I couldn't help but scream.
He ran to the gate of the square in one breath, and after a long while, Fatty Zhang came panting on a donkey.
"You can't run wild horses in the city, they will knock people down!"
"I know, just give it a try!"
Of course, Li Ye knew that he couldn't run horses casually in the city, so he slowed down his horse and headed towards Yanping Gate.
Yonghefang is close to Yanpingmen. Yanpingmen is not the main west gate. The main west gate is Jinguangmen. When you go out from Jinguangmen, there are still endless shops on both sides of the official road. But when you go out from Yanpingmen, there are villages of various sizes outside.
There are scattered wheat fields separated by villages.
The villages are close to the Cao River. The Cao River is lined with boats preparing to enter the city. On both sides are rows of green willows. Groups of women washing clothes can be seen on the riverside under the willow trees. Smoke from cooking stoves can be seen in the villages not far away.
Naughty, children rode cows and walked slowly by the river.
What a pastoral scene. Compared with the rush and noise in Chang'an City, it is a completely different world. There is such a big difference between the two walls.
But Li Ye was also dumbfounded. After more than a thousand years of Songhai Cangtian, where could he find his home?
There was a straight avenue in front of him. Although it was not as wide and lively as the main official avenue, there was no one on the avenue.
Li Ye also knew that it would be impossible to find the original address of his home. He sighed deeply, rode on his black horse, and shouted, "Drive!"
Mo Jin kicked out her four hooves and ran as fast as lightning. Behind her, she heard Fatty Zhang shouting: "I'll wait for you at the head of the Third Bridge!"
Mo Jin is extremely strong and powerful, and very fast. It can be seen that it has not run so happily for a long time. This is the first time for Li Ye to run so fast on a horse. The wind is whistling in his ears, and the trees on both sides are flashing.
Pass.
Li Ye had gradually forgotten the worries he had just had and entered the state of racing. He shouted excitedly, and the horse seemed to feel the excitement of its new owner and ran even more vigorously.
The horses ran for more than twenty miles at a stretch before finally slowing down. Li Ye entered the Zhuguan Road from a small road, turned around and walked back. After asking around, he finally found the Third Bridge. It turned out that this was also a big bridge.
The town is about three miles away from Jinguang Gate.
There are probably more than a thousand households, and a main street runs through the town. There are shops on both sides, and the business is very prosperous.
Behind the town is a medium-sized river, which is Fengshui.
"Ah Ye!"
Zhang Xiaopang led the donkey over and said with a smile: "How is it? It's quite lively here! My dad's new shop is in the town."
"Go and have a look!"
The two of them walked towards the town along a side road. When they walked into the town, they saw almost all pubs and inns?
"Why are there so many taverns and inns here?" Li Ye was puzzled.
"The city gates are closed after dark. What do you think of the merchants who can't get into the city in time?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "I understand, they are all merchants who cannot enter the city and come here to spend the night."
"For this reason, merchants eat first and then look for accommodation, so there are all taverns and inns, and there are many such shops!"
Zhang Xiaopang stared at an alley to the right with his eyes like needles, and smiled obscenely.
When Li Ye turned around, he saw that a long alley was filled with vulgar fans, gathering in small groups to chat. It was the evening when they received guests.
"You brat, didn't my uncle tell you? If you practice zhanzhuang, you won't be able to release Yuan Yang within three years, do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaopang scratched his head, "Master Pei didn't say anything!"
Li Ye hit him on the head and said, "This is common sense in martial arts training. Do I need to say more?"
In fact, Li Ye was just talking nonsense, and of course he was doing it for Zhang Xiaopang's own good.
After walking nearly three hundred steps, Zhang Xiaopang pointed to a tavern next to him and said, "This is it. The owner is an uncle of mine. He wants to return to his hometown after falling leaves, so he plans to sell the shop at a low price. It occupies an area of one and a half acres.
I got it for three hundred guan, and the market price is at least 500 guan. My father gave the money to the clan uncle yesterday, and the clan uncle returned to his hometown overnight, and we will move in two days."
"Your family no longer has a grocery store?"
Zhang Xiaopang shook his head, "To open a grocery store, you need old customers. You won't get business opening a grocery store here, but you can open a tavern. My father has come to inspect it several times, and every time it is full of customers. The business is very good."
.”
Li Ye looked back and saw that he was at least a mile away from the official road. This area...
“I feel like this place is a bit out of the way, and guests generally don’t go this far!
"I also think it's a bit biased, but my dad said that many customers will walk around and then find a restaurant to eat. He said that there are more customers here."
This reason is a bit taken for granted. Why should the guests walk around?
But Zhang Xiaopang's father has paid the money and the seller has left. There is no point in saying bad things and causing trouble for others.
However, Li Ye still felt that it was unreasonable for the tavern to be full of guests, and Zhang Xiaopang's father might have been deceived.
My father was deceived by this kind of thing when he bought a brick and tile factory. The seller bought high-quality red bricks from outside and passed them off as finished products. He gave them assurances at the wine table. My father trusted his fellow villagers too much and took them as truth without testing the soil quality.
In the end, the quality of the soil was not good enough and it was impossible to produce qualified bricks. My father suffered a huge loss and it became a lifelong pain for him. This was back in the 1990s.
