After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Thinking of this, Zhang Kai smiled awkwardly, changed the subject casually and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll make a note of it. By the way, Mr. Xu, where do you plan to put these horses? If you haven't decided yet, I suggest you put them in the valley behind the mountain. That place used to be where the shepherds in our village grazed their sheep. There is a natural hollow behind it, which is sheltered from wind and rain and avoids direct sunlight, and is very suitable for breeding."

The place Zhang Kai mentioned was exactly where Lao Mao and Xu Boan had just been sitting around the fire making tea and tasting turtle soup. Xu Boan had originally planned to put it there as well.

However, after hearing Zhang Kai's suggestion, Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Great! I was just thinking about how to deal with this matter. Having a professional like you give me advice is like timely help."

Look, this is a simple answer full of emotional value.

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhang Kai subconsciously relaxed a little more, and once again offered suggestions and reminded: "I'm not a professional, I'm just learning what I do, I learn while I do it.

"But Mr. Xu, it's not a long-term solution to gather all these horses together. After all, this place is not a professional place. Every day you stay here means a day of risk. If they get infected with an epidemic, it's no joke. In the past, I heard that there were wolves in this mountain. Although I don't know if there are any now, it is still a dangerous point."

In response to Zhang Kai's kind suggestion, Xu Bo'an naturally could not explain clearly that he was only planning to temporarily receive these horses here, and would immediately move them to the bonsai world after Zhang Kai left.

Xu Bo'an laughed and said incoherently: "Yes, I have already contacted them. Thanks for reminding me, Boss Zhang."

Zhang Kai said, "You're welcome. I brought a week's worth of food with me, which should be enough. If it's still not enough, or if you need anything else, just call me anytime."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said a few polite words.

While the two were exchanging greetings, vehicles carrying horses arrived one after another.

Soon, under Zhang Kai's command, the staff who came with the vehicle drove the horses down one by one in an orderly manner and gathered at the back mountain.

Seeing the row of simple brick houses, Zhang Kai said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, this... was built by you?"

Xu Boan shook his head and said, "It's a place of a friend. He originally planned to open up the mountain to quarry stones, but it is said that there are some ancestral graves in the mountain behind it, and the villagers are reluctant to relocate, so the plan was shelved."

Zhang Kai is originally from this village. Although he hasn't been back for a long time, after all, with the development of technology, there is a high probability that there must be a WeChat group, or relatives will definitely communicate these things among each other. So Zhang Kai might also know about this matter, so Xu Boan did not intend to hide it.

Sure enough, after hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Zhang Kai nodded and said, "I've heard about this too. The ancestral graves in our village are indeed all in the back mountain. The elders in the village think that moving the mountain will affect the feng shui, so they are unwilling to do so."

Xu Boan said: "Yes, because of the great resistance, my friend planned to try to develop a tourist attraction, but there were some difficulties in funding, so it was temporarily shelved.
He simply built these houses for his own vacation and leisure. When he heard that I was helping the elders in my family with horses, he lent them to me temporarily. It also made it convenient for those people to rest and relax when they came to pick up their horses. "

Zhang Kai nodded thoughtfully after hearing this and said, "I had this idea before, thinking about developing this place, but the tourism industry requires too much money, and I personally don't have the ability to do so.

But Mr. Xu, if your friend still wants to continue to develop this place, I can work with him and inject some funds into it. After all, this place raised me, and I also want to give back to my hometown and make it prosperous. "

Xu Boan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll mention this to him later. If he's interested in this, I'll contact you both and sit down to discuss it in detail."

Zhang Kai thanked him and was about to say something else when the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhang Kai smiled and raised his phone to show it to Xu Bo'an, saying, "It's Mr. Qu's call."

Xu Bo'an nodded slightly and said, "You keep busy. This kid would not come here for no reason. Something must have happened again. I'll go and see how the horses are settled."

After saying that, Xu Bo'an walked aside.

Hearing Xu Boan's words, Zhang Kai was slightly shocked again. He saw Qu Feifan's respect for Xu Boan.

Now, Xu Boan's words have confirmed that Qu Shao, who seemed out of his reach to himself, is really insignificant to Xu Boan.

I really don't know what Xu Boan's background is. Now that I have the opportunity to contact Xu Boan, I must seize this chance.

Zhang Kai then answered the phone with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Qu."

Qu Feifan shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss Zhang, a friend of mine just came back from abroad and wants to eat horse meat. It's really hard to buy here. Do you have any horses you're willing to sell? Get one for me to try. Price is not a problem."

Zhang Kai was embarrassed when he heard this and explained, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Qu, the horses I have here are all racehorses, not meat horses. The meat they cook doesn't taste good and is really not suitable for cooking."

Hearing Zhang Kai's refusal, Qu Feifan asked unwillingly, "There are not many of us, so we can just pick some tender parts to eat. You have so many horses over there, why don't you just give me one? I said, the price is not a problem, even double it is fine!"

Zhang Kai naturally understood that Qu Feifan was very wealthy.

But he had already declined the offer, so he naturally couldn't compromise because of money. Otherwise, wouldn't he be a money-grubber? How could he survive in Jiangcheng's circle?

Zhang Kai patiently explained again, "Mr. Qu, this is not about money. My horses are really not suitable for consumption! Although I have a lot of horses, you know, many of them belong to other people. The new horses were all ordered by Mr. Xu. Today, Mr. Xu asked for horses, so I just transported them to him and was preparing to hand them over. To be honest, I still owe Mr. Xu dozens of horses."

Qu Feifan was naturally talking about how Xu Bo'an bought the horse from Zhang Kai, because he was the one who initiated the matter.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhang Kai's words, Qu Feifan exclaimed: "You are with Brother Xu? Where are you?"

"Yes, I am with Mr. Xu right now, in my hometown village, in the suburbs. Mr. Xu said that we should transport the horses here first."

Zhang Kai had just mentioned to Xu Boan that it was Qu Feifan who called. Xu Boan did not instruct him to reveal the fact that they were together, nor did he keep his location secret, so Zhang Kai told him frankly.

When Qu Feifan heard this, he immediately snapped his fingers happily and said, "Brother Xu is in Jiangcheng, what a coincidence. I'll invite him to eat horse meat tonight. Boss Zhang, can you help me think of a way? You are in this circle, so you must be able to buy horse meat."

Seeing that Qu Feifan was so persistent, Zhang Kai immediately agreed with a wry smile, "Okay, I'll contact other friends to see if I can spare a horse."

Only then did Qu Feifan hang up the phone with satisfaction.

Zhang Kai walked to Xu Bo'an and asked, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, Mr. Qu wants me to help him find a meat horse. It seems that he is going to eat horse meat. I don't have a suitable meat horse here, so I have to go back and help him think of a solution." Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "This guy is really good at making trouble. Okay, I'm almost done with things here, you can go and do your own thing."

Zhang Kai nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go back as soon as possible. As for here, I'll arrange a few people to help you look after the horses. If you have any questions, just tell them directly."

Xu Bo'an was planning to transfer these horses to the bonsai world as soon as possible, so he naturally didn't want anyone to be present. He smiled and declined, "Boss Zhang is really thoughtful. Thank you, but I won't delay them too much. I have a friend who will bring people over to help later!"

Zhang Kai exchanged a few polite words with Xu Bo'an and then left.

Xu Boan watched Zhang Kai leave and waited for another half an hour. When he saw that all the horses were gathered in the valley, he found an excuse to let those who stayed to help leave. Xu Boan also thoughtfully gave each of them two packets of Huazi.

People were very happy about earning two packs of Huazi in half an hour. They thanked Xu Bo'an and left.

Seeing that he was the only one left here, Xu Boan did not delay any longer. After all, more than a hundred horses was really a bit unsightly. The longer he delayed, the harder it would be for Xu Boan to control these guys.

Thinking of this, Xu Boan stopped wasting time and focused his attention directly on the bonsai world. He then took the initiative to consume a wisp of incense and switched his sight to the Feipu Cliff Mountain Temple where Yan Shouyi was.

However, the mountain temple was now empty, which surprised Xu Boan.

Yan Shouyi regarded this place as his base camp. Even if there was no one there in the past, he would leave people here to guard it. On the one hand, this was to maintain the mystery and solemnity of the central military camp. On the other hand, he must have thought that if the mountain god was looking for him, he would be able to receive the message immediately.

But Xu Boan really couldn't understand why the place was deserted.

Could it be that Yan Shouyi and his people have moved to another place?

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an's sight immediately rose high, following the damaged roof of the mountain temple straight into the sky, and had a bird's eye view of the entire surrounding area of ​​the waterfall cliff.

Standing high, you can see far. By raising his sight, Xu Boan took a quick glance around and immediately discovered the situation.

In a valley not far away, a group of people were fighting fiercely. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be wearing the same clothes and armor as Yan Shouyi and his men that Xu Boan had seen before.

The two sides fought evenly, and the collision of weapons made harsh sounds from time to time.

Xu Boan immediately narrowed his gaze and looked over, and soon found Yan Shouyi in the crowd.

Yan Shouyi went into battle shirtless and fought with a sturdy man.

Yan Shouyi wielded his long sword with great power, while the big man opposite him wielded a mace and was equally defeated, they seemed to be equally matched.

The big man suddenly swung away the long sword that Yan Shouyi was chopping at him, and then suddenly pulled the reins. The warhorse neighed and raised its front hooves, raising the height of the strong man on its back.

The sturdy man swung the mace suddenly and hit Yan Shouyi.

Yan Shouyi was not afraid of danger. He rushed forward with his long sword horizontally, trying to block the mace that was falling down.

But unexpectedly, at the moment when the knife and the stick came into contact, the horse under Yan Shouyi's crotch suddenly felt weak and his whole body knelt down involuntarily.

The position that Yan Shouyi had expected suddenly tilted, and he fell forward involuntarily.

Yan Shou instinctively pushed the mace away and swung the long sword in his hand to make a knife flower to support his body, but he saw the mace sweeping towards him like a shadow.

Yan Shouyi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​standing up. He suddenly bent down and lowered his body, then rolled to the side and avoided the sweep of the mace.

The sturdy man on the opposite side did not continue to attack, but laughed, waved his hand, a horn sounded, and then the troops were called back.

The strong man shouted, "Old Yan, I won again this time. If there is a next time, you must obey me according to the agreement between you and me! Let's raise the banner of rebellion together!"

Yan Shouyi gritted his teeth, looked at his exhausted brothers, and said nothing.

An attendant ran to Yan Shouyi and said miserably, "Boss Yan, this time we lost 17 or 18 of our brothers. If this continues, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable. Otherwise, let's retreat to Shanyang County first. After all, we are familiar with the terrain there."

Yan Shouyi's face turned pale, and he didn't reply. He just uttered two words coldly, "Return to the camp!"

Under Xu Bo'an's attention, Yan Shouyi and his men retreated back to the camp.

Yan Shouyi returned to the mountain temple and sat down. Then someone brought him a water bag.

Yan Shouyi took two gulps and asked, "How's the matter of the horses going? If we continue to fight like this, we'll suffer."

Xu Boan also saw that when the two sides were fighting just now, Yan Shouyi's side had only a few war horses, while almost everyone on the other side had a horse.

Not to mention the cavalry's reckless charge, even in a head-on battle, being in a commanding position is a great advantage.

The attendant who brought water to Yan Shouyi shook his head and said, "I'm not very optimistic. Not to mention the horses, the donkeys and mules I bought a few days ago were frightened and weakened in the battle just now. They are hard to use now."

Well, Xu Boan didn’t look carefully just now, it turns out that Yan Shouyi and his people are actually using donkeys as horses. It would be strange if they can win in this kind of battle.

Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel pity for Yan Shouyi and his men, and immediately said, "Yan Shouyi, I'm here to deliver a war horse to you, quickly arrange for someone to take over!"

Hearing the voice of the mountain god, Yan Shouyi was startled at first, and then he knelt on the ground in great joy. (End of this chapter)
