Seeing the opponent's menacing approach, and pointing at the yellow horse with sixteen fingers before, Nan Gongyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, thinking: There is a joke!
As soon as Niu Xinglong walked up to them, he said straight to the point: "This old lady, I am the horse supervisor and young supervisor, and I came to buy war horses on the order of the prince. I heard that the old lady just got a thousand-mile horse, right? "He looked at Yong Yang and the others condescendingly.
Yong Yang nodded slightly: "Exactly."
Niu Xinglong saw that the other party didn't show a trace of fear when he heard the name of Zhennan King, and thought: Could it be the old lady of some general's mansion
But he didn't care, in this southern border, who else can be more expensive than Zhennan King! Even if this old lady refuses to offer a horse, after he finds out the identity of the other party, it is possible that the man in her family still doesn't know What's at stake?!
Naturally, the BMW produced in Nanjiang should be dedicated to King Zhennan!
Niu Xinglong said confidently: "Old lady, I want to dedicate this yellow pussy horse to the prince, and I hope that the old lady will offer a price. I will not let the old lady suffer." Even if he buys a horse with a thousand dollars, King Zhennan will not let him suffer.
Before Yong Yang could answer, Fu Yunyan could not wait to answer: "We don't sell this horse."
Fu Yunyan didn't know Nangong Yue's plan, she just witnessed that scene, she already had a very bad impression of these horse supervisors, and now seeing them so arrogantly begging for Xiao Shiliu, she even lost her face.
She didn't believe that the king of Zhennan dared to snatch the horse from his grandmother!
Niu Xinglong didn't take it seriously when he met the girl's ignorant eyes. The young people are full of vigor, and this girl looked like she was born in a general family.
Niu Xinglong didn't talk to Fu Yunyan either, and continued to say to Yong Yang: "Old lady, you have to think carefully?" His previous sentence was quite polite, but the next sentence seemed to be threatening, "This is a gift for you." The BMW for the prince, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your family! I’m not trying to steal your horse, you just have to ask for a price!”
Fu Yunyan sneered, and took a step forward, intending to confront Niu Xinglong, but was held down by Nangong Yue beside him.
Nangong Yue first blessed Yong Yang, and asked for instructions: "Grandmother, can you allow me to 'speak' a few words with this Master Niu?"
Yong Yang smiled, just now Nangong Yue only asked her to borrow Little Sixteen, she was actually quite curious about how Nangong Yue would behave, so she nodded and said: "Yue'er, then I will leave this matter to you .”
Nangong Yue then turned to face Niu Xinglong, and smiled slightly, but revealed a rebellious temperament.
Baihui lowered her eyes silently, approaching Zhu Zhechi, approaching...cough...the concubine Shi Zi was really under the influence of the son of the world.
Nangong Yue said loudly: "Master Niu, if you want this yellow puma, it's not difficult." She paused intentionally, and then said, "How about a competition? Since you have chosen such a good horse, Just pick a horse from the battle horses, and we also pick a horse at random in the horse market. If you win, we will give up the yellow puma without saying anything, what do you want?"
Niu Xinglong didn't expect that the other party would dare to negotiate terms with him, and a burst of anger surged in his heart. They were really emboldened, but they calmed down soon. In such a large crowd, if he directly snatched the horse, wouldn't it be a shame and a low-level position!
Niu Xinglong narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at the group of people in front of him, wondering whether he should compete with them. Since the other party was so stupid that he didn't use the yellow puma, he might not have no chance of winning! How could he still lose to these girls with the horse-hunting skills of the deputy young supervisor?! It's just...
His gaze was fixed on Yong Yang, that is, this old woman is a bit troublesome, does this person really understand the way of horse hunting? Or is it just a coincidence
While Niu Xinglong was still hesitating, Fu Yunyan introduced himself with a smile: "Master Niu, dare to compete with this little girl like me?" She said, and she winked at Nangong Yue confidently.
The corners of Nangong Yue's lips curled up, and she could tell that Niu Xinglong didn't dare to compare himself with Yong Yang's grandmother, but it was just right for Liu Niang to be brave.
Sure enough, Niu Xinglong's eyes lit up, his heart was ecstatic, but he pretended to casually look at Fu Yunyan who was dressed in red, and said: "You are a yellow-haired girl who eats less salt than my official, and how much do you know about horses? I don't take advantage of you," he said, looking at the deputy young supervisor, "I will order Deputy Shaojian Diao to compete with you on my behalf!"
This person obviously doesn't know how to look at horses, but he knows how to put on airs. Nangong Yue and the others exchanged a look with each other, they all knew it well.
For Fu Yunyan, whether Niu Xinglong is good or this is the Deputy Young Prisoner Diao, there is no difference at all.
Fu Yunyan blinked at Nangong Yue and smiled brightly, Nangong Yue then said: "If I remember correctly, my lord just seemed to have a bad opinion of the horses of Xu's racecourse, so let's choose Xu's horses." .”
The onlookers almost heard with their own ears how the horses at Xu's racecourse were criticized by Niu Xinglong for being worthless, saying that the horse's legs were too short and that they could not run fast; …
They actually went to Xu's racecourse to pick horses, isn't that too overwhelming?!
Nangong Yue didn't care about other people's whispers, and continued: "In order to avoid fraud and show justice, Master Niu just send someone to follow me."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly to Fu Yunyan, and the latter strode towards the fence of the Xu Family Racecourse. Niu Xinglong was not polite, and gave him a wink, and two soldiers in armor followed immediately...
The horse inspector's officials are going to compete with others, and the bet is the yellow puma!
The news spread ten to ten, ten to a hundred... The people in the whole horse market were in a commotion. Those people who are good at horses and good things all heard the news and felt that today was really worth coming.
After a while, most of the people in the horse market were attracted to the horse testing ground at the back. It was said to be a horse testing ground, but it was actually a wasteland full of weeds. For this horse fair, the people from the Jockey Association deliberately cleaned up the place a little bit, and used it as a temporary testing ground.
At a glance, there were people's heads all around, and the onlookers were all more excited and excited than the parties involved. In fact, some people didn't even figure out what was going on.
At this time, Fu Yunyan and Deputy Young Supervisor Diao arrived at the test track with their respective horses. Niu Xinglong selected a "mustache" from the accompanying soldiers as the rider for this competition, but saw that the girl in red was still standing. Standing in front of the black horse she had chosen, lovingly feeding the horse candy, she had no intention of retreating at all.
Niu Xinglong originally wanted to ask Fu Yunyan who he planned to find as a rider, but he swallowed the words again. It seems that the girl in red still wants to go out on the horse herself
Niu Xinglong originally had a trace of uncertainty in his heart, but at this moment it finally dissipated. These women really don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, if I teach them a lesson today, I can get a thousand-mile horse for nothing!
The more Niu Xinglong thought about it, the more complacent he felt. He cleared his throat, and suggested: "Young lady, why don't you just run around this test track, what do you think?"
Fu Yunyan readily agreed.
Master Ning volunteered to call out the password for this competition, but he found a gong from nowhere and stood still beside the starting line.
The "Mustache" soldier neatly rode on the white horse and took his place shoulder to shoulder with Fu Yunyan on the black horse.
Although Xiao Fei, who was watching quietly from the side, knew Fu Yunyan's ability, she couldn't help being a little nervous. She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves and watched without blinking.
When the sound of gongs and drums sounded, the two horses rushed out like arrows flying off the string.
As the competition started, the people watching around had already boiled over, expressing their opinions in a hurry:
"Look, this girl in red is good at riding!"
"This is just the beginning, what's the rush?! I heard that all the cavalry in the Southern Border Army are elites. I think that girl must be Xuan..."
"Do you want to take a gamble?"
"Look, look, the girl in red is ahead of her time!"
"..."
After running less than half a circle, Fu Yunyan's black horse was already half a head ahead, and the "mustache" on the white horse had an unsightly face. He whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and the white horse neighed , running wildly...
Seeing this, Niu Xinglong's stiff face finally showed a trace of color, but the next moment, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he saw the red shadow of the black horse crouching down, as if it had become one with the black horse, and galloped away like lightning It turned out that even if "Mustache" whipped a few times, he could not change the disadvantage. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the distance between the black horse and the white horse was gradually opened, and they broke through the finish line with an absolute advantage.
Fu Yunyan rode his horse and ran to Nangong Yue without stopping, flew down, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, live up to your trust!" She held her fists at Nangong Yue proudly.
Compared to the beaming look on this side, on the other side, Niu Xinglong's face was so gloomy that water dripped out. Even if there was a slight gap just now, he could still open his eyes and tell lies, insisting that he had won. But the opponent is a few horses ahead, even if he has the eloquence and ability to turn a deer into a horse, it is in vain!
Niu Xinglong glared fiercely at Deputy Young Prison Diao beside him, and thought to himself: It's really useless!
Deputy Shaojian Diao shrank back, not daring to speak. He had already selected the best horse from the Wu family's horse farm, but the Wu family's horse was really not very good, and it couldn't be compared with a real horse. But horse racing not only depends on the quality of the horse, but also depends on the skill of the rider and the tacit understanding between the horse and the rider. Today's competition is a temporary selection of horses, so we only look at the first two points.
Deputy Young Superintendent Diao originally thought that with the ability of the cavalry of the Southern Frontier Army, the horses would be able to show their maximum potential, but a delicate girl who could ride a horse did not mean that she could ride a horse well or fast. Who knew it would hit a hard nail!
Nangong Yue smiled slightly at Fu Yunyan, then met Niu Xinglong's gloomy and unwilling eyes, and said provocatively: "Master Niu, if I remember correctly, you said that the horses at the Xu family's racecourse are inferior, how can you compare them to the horses?" You picked these high-quality military horses to run fast."
Niu Xinglong held back his anger, and said abruptly: "You guys were lucky in that round just now, you couldn't count."
"So that's the case." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Since that's the case, we can compare again..."
Niu Xinglong frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Okay, then we'll win two out of three rounds!" He didn't believe that the little girl really had the ability to judge horses, it was just her luck!
Nangong Yue agreed with a smile.
Niu Xinglong looked at Deputy Young Prison Diao with disgust, but he still pulled him along to pick a horse.
The second game started soon, and the gongs and drums sounded again...
The spectators around didn't expect that there would be more to this competition, and they were reluctant to leave, watching with excitement.
"Look, that girl is leading again on a brown horse this time!" An old lady said excitedly, slapping her thigh, "Who says we women are inferior to men! This girl really looks good on us women!"
"Yes, yes!" A little girl who came to join in the fun looked at Fu Yunyan adoringly, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "I have to quickly bring my father over to see!" Then she ran away quickly...
When the little girl was panting and pulled her father over, she happened to see Fu Yunyan, who was dressed in red not far away, riding a red horse. over the finish line.
The little girl almost jumped up, pointing to the girl in red on the red horse and said: "Father, look quickly, is that girl very powerful, she is good at seeing horses and riding horses, she is like Hua Mulan reborn! ... Father, she It must be a girl from some horse farm, and I will inherit your horse farm in the future!"
The girl and her father were still confused, all he knew was that a girl's family had won a horse riding competition.
And when Fu Yunyan won the third victory, the whole proving ground was full of voices.
Boss Xu, the horse owner of the Xu family racecourse, couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He thought it was unlucky today, but he was criticized randomly by the adults of the horse supervisor. This year, his horses might not be able to be sold. Who knows? What a turn! This is really God's eyes!
As for those onlookers, on the one hand, they were amazed that Fu Yunyan had won three games in a row, but on the other hand, they gradually felt a little strange.
A middle-aged man tugged at a friend beside him and said, "Brother, I remember that the horses at the Xu family's racecourse were judged inferior by the horse inspector's Young Master Niu just now?"
The friend also felt weird, nodded and said: "Yes, why did this poor horse win against the steed horse that was chosen to be the war horse, and it still won three games in a row?"
No matter how you think about it, there must be something strange in it!
If you win one game, you can barely call it a coincidence, but in three games, three different horses actually won every game. There shouldn't be any tricks in it, right
Many people thought of this, and all of a sudden, puzzled, curious, or disdainful eyes focused on Niu Xinglong.
Niu Xinglong was already unhappy, but now he felt as if thousands of needles had been pricked on his body.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, sneered, and said, "Does your lord still want my grandmother's yellow pussy horse?"
As soon as Nangong Yue finished speaking, there was a burst of muffled laughter from around, and Niu Xinglong's expression turned ugly again.
He has completely lost his face today, if he still can't bring the BMW back, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his army!
Thinking about it, Niu Xinglong's eyes flashed fiercely, no matter who these women are, after he seizes the horse first and presents the horse to the prince, will they still dare to ask the prince for a horse?!
He flicked his fingers to attract the attention of several subordinates, pointed at Yong Yang and the others fiercely and said: "Surround them!"
The soldiers brought by Niu Xinglong dispersed immediately, surrounded Nangong Yue and Yong Yang, and then narrowed the encirclement together, approaching them threateningly, and slightly pulled out the saber on their body from the scabbard A little bit, the silver knife body gave off a dazzling cold light in the sun, and the ordinary people who watched it shuddered.
Niu Xinglong said coldly: "I will ask again, are you selling this BMW or not?"
There was an uproar all around, this is to openly steal the horse!
Many people began to worry about Yong Yang and the others. Even if they were replaced by a few burly men today, they might not be able to take advantage of it, let alone a few weak women.
I thought that these women were going to faint from fright, but who knew that all of them looked as usual and stood there calmly. Especially Fu Yunyan's eyes were shining brightly, and he was almost impatient to gear up.
Yong Yang snorted coldly, and said slowly: "How about not selling it?!"
"Shame on you!" Niu Xinglong only felt a burst of anger rushing straight to his forehead, his mind was roaring, and he shouted, "I won't take the BMW away yet!"
"Yes, Master Niu!"
The soldiers responded in unison, shouting loudly, and strode forward. One of the soldiers grabbed the rope of the yellow puma horse with one hand, and raised his arm with the other hand to push the maid who led the horse. Unexpectedly, his wrist was caught by the other party. Grab it, it hurts.
"ah-"
The soldier screamed, his right arm had been cut behind him, and then his back knee hurt, and he was kicked and knelt on the ground.
Fu Yunyan took out her shiny black yak-skin whip, and flicked it to the left and then to the other, one whip knocked off a soldier's knife, and another whip hit another soldier's calf On the ground, his mouth was full of mud, and every time the whip was swung in the air, there was a chilling sound of piercing the air, which made several soldiers wail again and again.
Seeing that Baihui and Fu Yunyan were difficult to deal with, several soldiers immediately came towards Yongyang, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei. Unfortunately, they picked the wrong persimmon, and Xiao Ying and Xiao An appeared like ghosts. With one move, two of them lay on the ground. And Yong Yang didn't need anyone to save him at all, he just kicked a soldier in the chest, causing the opponent to retreat several steps and fell to the ground.
Fu Yunyan applauded with a smile: "Grandmother, you are so young!"
This scene not only stupefied the spectators, but even a few soldiers hesitated to step forward.
Nangong Yue let out a cold snort, and took a few steps towards Niu Xinglong. Baihui followed closely beside her. Although Xiao Ying and Xiao An didn't move, their hawk-like eyes had already fixed on Niu Xinglong. Seeing it, he felt a "thump" in his heart.
Niu Xinglong swallowed hard, and said forcefully: "You... what do you want to do?!" He widened his eyes, looked at Nangong Yue and the others without blinking, and couldn't believe that they dared to rebel in Luoyue City!
Nangong Yue smiled faintly, and said loudly: "Master Niu is an official, and I am a mere little girl, so naturally I dare not do anything to him! But I am also a citizen of Southern Xinjiang, so I dare to question you," she said. Looking at the horses behind the fence of the Wu family's horse farm, he shouted and asked, "These horses have lost three times in three battles, which is enough to show their qualifications. Such inferior horses dare to be sent to the battlefield. This is a great crime of treason!"
Nangong Yue's few sentences are sonorous and powerful, and every sentence is resounding.
There was a silence all around, and those spectators seemed to be dumb for an instant, silent.
Niu Xinglong's breath stuck in his throat, and his chest heaved violently. This woman who doesn't know where she came from really has the courage to accuse him of treason and defection to the enemy?!
"You...you spout blood! You are so brave to slander the imperial court officials!" Niu Xinglong gritted his teeth and pointed at Nangong Yue, his fingers trembling.
In the next moment, the surrounding crowd gradually became agitated, discussing with the people around them.
The horses bought by the horse supervisor at the Wujia Racecourse have lost three games in a row. Everyone can see that even people who don't know how to judge horses can see the quality of the horses at a glance just by looking at the results.
The horses bought by the Horse Supervisor, these horses that will be sent to the battlefield, are really inferior horses!
This is an indisputable fact!
A middle-aged businessman said thoughtfully: "That little lady is right. If Mr. Niu sends such an inferior horse to the battlefield, isn't that because he wants our Southern Border Army to lose the battle?"
An old man beside him took a breath and said, "That's right. If Nanliang calls this, then our Southern Xinjiang may be like it was back then, with countless families ruined and exiled in foreign lands..."
Thinking of the turmoil of the year before last, everyone felt lingering fear. The pain at that time is still fresh in my memory, but now, it seems that the freshly scabbed scar has been gouged open again!
Although the Baiyue people failed to kill Luoyue City, those villages, towns and cities that were massacred were empty.
Now, Nanliang violated the border, and the son is leading the soldiers to fight bloody battles. Not only can the horse supervisor not share the worries for the son, but he wants to drag him behind. How can such a thing be tolerated!
A skinny middle-aged man said loudly: "I heard that the owner of this martial arts horse farm is very good at making money, could it be..."
The word "bribery" is ready to come out.
Another person followed with righteous indignation and said, "Boss Wu must have benefited Supervisor Ma!"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into the lake, tearing apart the tranquility floating on the surface, and the surrounding people couldn't help being angrily, staring at the horse prisoner with their eyes as if they were breathing fire.
Immediately, someone snorted coldly: "It must be like that. The horses in the Xu family's racecourse are obviously fine horses, but they deliberately belittled them and praised these inferior horses. This is simply pretending!"
"The opera is so good, why don't you become an actress!" A woman said sarcastically, "It's clear that we don't care about the lives of our people!"
"That's right! When Nanliang called, those officials escaped faster than anyone else, and ordinary people like us were the ones who were unlucky!"
"..."
The more the people talked, the more excited they became. As they spoke, the scenes of the Nanliang army approaching the city and the brutal Nanliang people killing wantonly appeared in their minds. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and panic. After a while, it boiled like boiling hot water.
I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Such a bad horse must not be sent to the battlefield!"
All the people were immersed in a panic, saying one after another:
"That's right!"
"If these corrupt officials are allowed to act recklessly, our southern border will be over!"
"Take down this corrupt official!"
"..."
The people around were excited, and at this moment, they seemed to have become brave and fearless fighters. Chao Niu Xinglong and his party swarmed over, just like the angry waves on the sea on a stormy night, each wave was more violent than the other...
This, this is clearly a mob! Niu Xinglong shrank his pupils, subconsciously took a few steps back, and said to the soldiers: "Hurry up and escort me away!"
The soldiers raised their sabers nervously, the gleaming silver saber made the commoners only dare to surround Niu Xinglong and his party, but they didn't dare to get close easily. As for Boss Wu of the Wu Family Racecourse, his life was not so good. It has been tied up by people.
Seeing the chaotic situation, Xiao Fei didn't understand why, so she looked at Nangong Yue uneasily, Nangong Yue gave her a comforting smile, and said with her mouth, it's all right.
Nangong Yue's eyes flickered slightly. Only when this matter got serious could King Zhennan take it seriously.
Nangong Yue raised her eyes and glanced in a certain direction. Just now, one of Niu Xinglong's attendants saw that something was wrong, and had already quietly left the test field. At this moment, she was hurrying away on horseback. It seemed that she was going to rescue soldiers...
Nangong Yue waved to Baihui and whispered a few words.
