Chapter 154: Sending an Envoy to Congratulate the Wedding
An hour later, Qin Lingsi and He Xiaomei came out of the house together.
He Xiaomei said goodbye to Qin Lingsi and left the racecourse with Liu Wu. Qin Lingsi continued to direct the horsemen to train the horses.
Bian Yuantong stood far away, hesitating whether to go to Qin Lingsi to talk about his brother.
Suddenly, there was a rapid ringing of bells, and a black and translucent horse rushed in from the gate, followed by the sergeant guarding the gate.
The black horse rushed into the group of foals and hid. It was much larger than the foals, and stood out like a flock of chickens, extremely conspicuous.
Qin Lingsi was surprised and happy. After staring at the horse carefully for a while, she could see that the horse was not inferior to her Purple Oriole.
Just as he was about to enter the herd and tie up the horse, there was a sudden noise at the gate of the ranch, and a sergeant rushed over and reported to Qin Lingsihui: "Owner, someone outside is trying to break in!" p>
Qin Lingsi was startled and thought to herself: "Could it be that the owner of the dark horse is here?"
While he was hesitating, he saw several men in yellow rushing in from the door. The sergeant guarding the door was unable to stop them, and all the weapons in his hands were taken away by the enemy!
Qin Lingsi was secretly frightened. Although there were only a dozen or so sergeants guarding the gate, they were all veterans of the North Gate Military Camp. Their combat prowess was definitely not bad. What was the background of these people?
Looking up, I saw only six people on the other side.
One of the young men in yellow is extremely majestic, holding four spears on each side of his ribs, and the other is a gentle, middle-aged scribe holding a folding fan in his hand.
"Who are you? You are so brave, how dare you break into the racecourse of the Governor's Mansion!" Bian Yuantong stepped forward and shouted loudly.
The middle-aged scribe was also a little surprised. He thought this was just a private pasture, so he broke in and saw hundreds of racecourse defenders surrounding him. He turned over and dismounted, holding his hands and saying: "I didn't know this was a government office, so why?"
Please forgive me!"
Qin Ling thought: "Are you here to chase the dark horse?"
The middle-aged scribe smiled and said: "That's right. This horse is so wild and untamable that it bit off its reins and ran away. I followed it all the way and then found it."
Qin Lingsi crossed her arms and said, "If you agree to sell this horse to me, I won't blame you."
The middle-aged scribe said: "I'm really sorry, this horse cannot be sold!"
Qin Lingsi immediately changed her face and said fiercely: "Don't agree? Humph, then I will arrest you as a spy!"
The middle-aged scribe smiled and said: "The little girl is joking!"
"Who are you kidding? If you sell it, the price will be easy to negotiate. If you don't sell it, you will be in jail!"
The middle-aged scribe and the young man in yellow looked at each other, laughed dumbly and said: "If the girl catches us, I'm afraid you, Manager Zhang, will blame you!"
Qin Lingsi was stunned and snorted: "Who are you? You have such a loud voice!"
The young man in yellow smiled and said: "We come from Anfeng."
Qin Lingsi was surprised. Anfeng was Liu Futong's territory. She stared closely at the middle-aged scribe and said, "You are not Liu Futong, are you?"
A follower in yellow frowned and said: "Young lady, you are so rude, you actually called our Marshal Liu by his first name!"
The middle-aged scribe waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we are all rebels. We are engaged in the beheading business. Why are you talking about these false etiquette?" He smiled at Qin Lingsi and said: "My name is Du Zundao. I wonder if the girl has heard of this name?" Of course Qin Lingsi had heard that apart from Liu Futong, the most famous member of the Red Scarf Army in Jiangbei was military advisor Du Zundao, known as the number one strategist in Jiangbei.
But now Jiangdu Army's reputation is getting more and more famous. She, the third-ranking figure in Jiangdu Army, must not be timid when facing the second-ranked figure in Jiangbei Army.
"Are you here for my brother-in-law's wedding?" she straightened her chest and asked.
Du Zundao's eyes lit up and he said: "It turns out that the girl is the famous Second Village Master of Longtan Village. I dare not hide it. I am just here to celebrate the wedding, and the horse is a gift!"
Qin Lingsi was greatly relieved to see that the other party knew her, and said happily: "I have also admired Mr. Du's name for a long time. I will take you to see my brother-in-law immediately!"
Du Zundao pointed to the horses and said with a smile: "Let's catch this beast first!"
Qin Lingsi immediately ordered the horsemen to take the horses back to the stables.
The black horse foolishly followed the foals towards the stable at first. After taking a few steps, it suddenly felt something was wrong and rushed out of the herd and fled towards the gate.
There were already four horsemen waiting with ropes to lasso the black horse. The black horse was running very fast and dodged three ropes. Only the last horseman managed to lasso its neck, but was dragged into the air by the black horse.<
/p>
Two horsemen who were very close ran over and grabbed the horseman in mid-air. Unexpectedly, the black horse was so powerful that it dragged all three of them to the ground.
At this time, the black horse ran past Bian Yuantong. Bian Yuantong stepped over and reached out to pull the rope, but he still could not stop the black horse. Like the other three horsemen, he was dragged and sliding on the ground.
Qin Lingsi quickly ran towards the black horse, wanting to get on it and tame it.
Suddenly, a fierce shout was heard, and a man jumped out of the diagonal stab. The rope in his hand happened to be wrapped around the horse's neck. He pulled it sideways. The black horse lost control of its balance and turned over and fell to the ground.
The other horsemen swarmed up, subdued the black horse and put on the bridle. The black horse finally became more honest.
Qin Lingsi looked at the young man in yellow and said with a smile: "You are quite powerful, but I don't know who is stronger than Wang Daba!"
The young man in yellow said with a smile: "How dare I compare with General Wang of your army?"
Qin Lingsi walked up to the black horse, rubbed its ears a few times, then put her head on the horse's head, looking at it, and gently stroking the horse's mane with both hands in a strange rhythm.
After a while, she smiled slightly, patted the horse's head and said, "Good boy." After untying the bridle, the horse remained motionless and even rubbed Qin Lingsi's face.
The young man in yellow and Du Zundao looked at each other, feeling surprised in their hearts. It was hard to believe that this little girl Qin Lingsi could make the dark horse obey so easily.
"Let's go!"
Qin Lingsi said hello, explained a few words to the officials at the racecourse, got on the Purple Oriole horse, and left the racecourse. The black horse followed the Purple Oriole obediently.
Bian Yuantong quickly followed on horseback, and the young man in yellow and Du Zundao also followed closely with their entourage.

After returning to Jiangdu, it was already sunset and the streets were much deserted.
Qin Lingsi originally wanted to take Du Zundao to visit Zhang Yangquan, but the latter said that it was not in line with etiquette to visit Zhang Yangquan before the wedding, so he stayed in Guanyi first.
After Qin Lingsi broke up with Bian Yuantong, she went straight back to Oriole Garden and came to Zhang Yangquan's house. She found that Qin Lingjun was there and was playing chess with Zhang Yangquan. She couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister, why are you still in Oriole Garden?" p>
According to the wedding process, Qin Lingjun’s natal family is in Longtan Village, so she should be in Longtan Village now.
Qin Lingjun waved her hand casually and said, "It's still early anyway. After dinner, we'll go back to Longtan Village together."
Qin Ling thought for a moment. Like Qin Lingjun, she had been a bandit for so long, so she didn't care much about the red tape and told the two of them about Du Zundao.
Qin Lingjun dropped his son and said: "It's nothing surprising. There have been several groups of rebel envoys staying in Guanyi in the past few days. Even Xu Shouhui sent someone here!"
Qin Lingsi asked in astonishment: "Isn't he beaten very badly now? Did he still send an envoy to congratulate us on our wedding?"
Qin Lingjun said: "Who knows, anyway, the person who came is quite high-status, he is Yuan Guogong Ou Puxiang."
Qin Lingsi snorted and said: "Zhao Pusheng turned his back on us, and now he has sent Ou Puxiang to show off. I think we should let him go and let Tian Wanjun know that we are not easy to mess with!"
Qin Lingjun saw that Zhang Yangquan had been silent and unwilling, so she asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Yangquan sat cross-legged, supported his chin with his hand and said, "You said that Du Zundao suddenly came to Jiangdu, could it be that he came for Yang Ying and his mother?"
Qin Lingjun's eyes flashed and she said: "It's very possible!"
Zhang Yangquan thought for a while and said to Qin Ling: "Little sister, send someone to tell Yang Ying that Du Zundao is here!"
Qin Lingsi agreed, went to Houhou's house in person, and told Yang Ying and Houhou about Du Zundao.
After Yang Ying learned about it, her reaction was very calm. It wasn't until Qin Lingsi left that she slumped down on the chair and turned pale.
The monkey comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'll go find Geng Si and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on Du Zundao! No one in Jiangdu can take you away by force!"
Yang Ying smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know what Du Zundao is capable of. This man's tongue is like a sword. During the uprising, many people were afraid and unwilling to follow. He persuaded them one by one!"
"So what? I don't believe that his tongue is sharper than our knife! As long as he dares to step into my palace, I will chop off his tongue!"
Yang Ying said quietly: "He won't come to us, he will go directly to the manager."
The monkey's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "The manager will never let his brothers suffer, and there is also the leader of the stronghold beside him. It's useless even if he is so eloquent!"
Yang Ying was silent for a while and sighed: "I hope so!"
