Chapter 31 Xiang Tingchun

Does imperial horse count?

"Eh-"

Without waiting for Chen Sanshi to think carefully.

The white swan horse suddenly neighed towards the sky, then rushed out of the stable, running uncontrollably, and shaking continuously, trying to throw the person off.

"Grass!"

Chen Sanshi nearly flew out, and hurriedly grabbed the reins with both hands, stepped on the stirrups with his legs and clamped the horse's belly tightly.

It may seem easy to others when they ride a horse, but only those who have actually ridden one know that it is definitely not an easy thing.

Especially for a horse with a violent temper and an untamed one, if it accidentally falls off, it may cause death!

"Eh-"

The white swan horse neighed and charged forward.

Chen Sanshi was sitting on it, and he felt the strong wind piercing his ears, the scenery around him moving rapidly backwards, and coupled with the resistance of the horse, it was like sitting on a roller coaster without a seat belt.

"What a beast!"

He simply grabbed the horse's neck and tried to subdue it by brute force.

One man and one horse were in a stalemate for half an hour, but no one was victorious.

The fighting was temporarily stopped until both sides were exhausted.

[Skill: Horse Riding (Not yet started)]

[Progress: (35/100)]

[Effect: None]

"You're still a mare?"

Chen Sanshi leaned over and identified it carefully.

He didn't know much about horses, and he knew that mares were generally smaller in size, but the one in front of him was obviously an alien and incredibly strong.

"Hahahahaha!"

A hearty laugh sounded from behind.

Chen Sanshi turned around and found that it was Xiang Tingchun.

At this moment, Xiang Tingchun took off his armor and wore casual clothes. His face looked a little more amiable, but still revealed a hint of majesty.

A thousand households is a fifth-rank official.

The fifth rank is already the highest in Poyang County.

It is not only the heaven in terms of official position, but also the heaven in terms of cultivation and power.

"Master Qianhu."

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and saluted.

"Well, this horse is hard to tame, isn't it?"

Xiang Tingchun joked, "It's right that it's hard to tame. If it weren't for the fact that this horse is so fierce and sometimes hurts people, no one would be willing to give it to me, and I would be even less willing to give it to you. As for whether you can tame it, it depends on your own ability."

Qianhu didn't come here just to see him.

Chen Sanshi noticed that not far away there was a groom leading out another white horse. It should be that the captain was preparing to go out and happened to meet him here.

"Just do your best, and come to me if you need anything."

After Xiang Tingchun finished speaking, he jumped on his horse.

His horse is very well behaved.

"Where is he going?"

Chen Sanshi pondered in his heart: "Did they finally find the key to unlock the fairy treasure last night? Were all the masked men caught? Was Luo Dongquan there too?"

Before leaving the racecourse, he saw another black horse appear and run side by side with the white horse.

The person on the horse was Luo Dongquan.

"He was also involved in the matter of the immortal treasure?"

This group of people are obviously hiding something from the court.

He became more and more curious about what was in the box.

……

"Lao Luo, please don't mention the matter of selecting strikers anymore."

Xiang Tingchun said firmly: "At a time when our Dasheng court is short of people, if we continue to fight among ourselves, it will be disgraceful."

"Sir." Luo Dongquan said reluctantly, "The first half of next year will be the last time for the commander to select forwards."

"So what?"

Xiang Tingchun pulled the reins and said, "You have to understand one thing, the commander-in-chief has too much power, and he is old, so His Majesty has long wanted him to retire.

“Joining the Eighth Battalion at this time may not be a good thing.

“Your Majesty has been looking for new people these years, hoping to reshuffle the Northern Territory. The Eight Battalions will most likely be disbanded and transferred to various places in the east, west, south and north.

"At this juncture, if someone can stand out, he or she may be able to rise to a high position under the leadership of the new supervisor in the future."

Luo Dongquan listened attentively: "So the adults are planning to cooperate with the martial arts school to find the so-called 'immortal treasure', but is there really such a thing in the world that can quickly improve one's cultivation?"

"Look at the excitement of those old guys in the martial arts hall. It doesn't seem fake. I don't know where the barbarian got such a treasure.

"No wonder the barbarian invasions have become more frequent since last year."

Xiang Tingchun paused and continued, "You have to remember that our main goal is not the fairy treasure. Those idiots didn't even think about it. If there really is such a thing, how could they hide it? The most important thing is to take this opportunity to make the martial arts halls and gentry in the county bleed so that we can prepare for the beginning of next spring."

"Sir, are you really planning to leave the Great Wall and take action against the Yuwen tribe's branch?"

Luo Dongquan looked solemn: "The barbarians living in the Xihe area have a combat strength of at least 2,500 people. We only have 900 people in total, and we have to report to the Ministry of War and get its approval before we can send troops."

"So, I need war horses, bows and crossbows, food, and medicinal materials, which means I need silver!"

Conversation room.

The two came to the fields.

Xiang Tingchun raised his whip and pointed at the vast farmland: "See? These should have been my Dasheng's land, but what happened? Seven out of ten of them have become the private property of martial arts schools and gentry!
“Now that there is constant war, when money is needed, they are unwilling to pay a penny!

“The matter of the immortal treasure can just help me scare them.

"Now that we have money and power, and we have made great achievements, we will have a better place to go in the future. Why should we be confined to the Eight Camps?
"Lao Luo, how long have you been with me?"

Luo Dongquan nodded and said, "By winter, it will be exactly twenty-one years."

Xiang Tingchun said in a deep voice: "In the whole Poyang, I trust you the most, so I told you this matter alone. I hope you can help me. If I succeed in the future, you will be in the same position as me."

"Don't worry, Master Qianhu."

Luo Dongquan clasped his hands and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if I die!"

"Let's go and talk to the old guys in the martial arts gym."

The two men rode into the city and went straight to Tianyuan Martial Arts Hall.

Liang Zhan greeted them at the door: "My father and several uncles have already prepared wine and food and have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in, my two adults!"

After welcoming the guests.

Liang Zhan did not rush in, but waited for a martial arts disciple to come in. He asked, "Have you found the person?"

"To answer the young master's question, no."

The disciple replied, "There is no one in the house where the fellow disciples live in the city, nor in the old residence in Yanbian Village. After asking around, no one said they had seen Qin Feng."

"disappeared?"

Liang Zhan tapped his palm with his folding fan: "He was probably killed by the guy named Chen in the army."

"Then young master, what should we do?" The disciple was familiar with Qin Feng and had a heavy heart.

Liang Zhan said coldly: "What else can we do? We don't have any evidence. If he dies, he dies. Do you think I can give you a sword and you can kill him in the barracks to take revenge?"

The disciple remained silent.

Liang Zhan sneered.

Qin Feng is a good guy. He has been in their martial arts school for several years. He is hardworking and loyal.

A while ago, by chance, he overheard a confidential conversation between him and his father. Because this kid usually keeps his mouth shut, he did not kill him, but accepted him as his personal disciple.

As a result, he couldn't get over it and just ran off to die.

He has advised and helped.

To him, Qin Feng's life was only worth a few dozen taels of silver.

Tianyuan Martial Arts School is not without other disciples, and Liang Zhan is not stupid enough to take the risk to avenge him.

"This Brother Chen is quite interesting!"

"Qin Feng is also proficient in blood training after all, but he actually said that if he was killed, he would be killed."

"Such a talented person, I must make some good friends with him after I am done with my work."

"Last night... was exactly the time when the barbarians escaped from the city. What a coincidence."

Liang Zhan narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
