Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The racecourse seemed not far away, but it still took the two of them half an hour to walk there. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was rare for the two of them to have such a leisurely and comfortable time. They wished that this road would go on forever.

From a long distance from the racecourse, I heard the movement over there. The sound of horses singing and cursing mixed together, which instantly disintegrated the charming atmosphere without a trace.

A livestock farm like this doesn't taste very good. Li Xu almost stepped on a pile of shit, and then he had to ask someone to light a lantern in front of him to illuminate the road.

After entering the horse farm, Li Xu found that it was quite big, with a large lawn as far as the eye could see, and horses running outside, several strong slaves on horseback chasing them, as if they were going to drive them back to the stables.

Li Xu and Kou Xiao saw that they were nobles, followed by a long line of guards. The owner of the racecourse came striding forward, knelt down and saluted, and asked humbly: "I don't know if you are welcome, but I hope you will forgive me. What are your orders, gentlemen?"

The owner of the farm also knew that the emperor brought his ministers to hunt in the hunting grounds, and it was not surprising that someone would come over, but he didn't know the identities of these two people, they looked so young and handsome, even at night they were as bright and bright as the bright moon.

Li Xu pointed to the people around him and said: "This is General Kou. Today he is hunting for the first prize. The emperor rewarded him with a few horses and allowed him to pick them himself. General Kou is a horse lover. No, he will come here at night." Pick a horse."

"So that's how it is. This general is young, promising, heroic, and deserves the best horse!" the owner complimented.

To win the first place in the hunting grounds is not only about high ability, but also nobleness, otherwise you will not even be able to enter the hunting grounds, and such a young general must be very important to the emperor, with a bright future, the owner is naturally willing to form a good relationship with others .

"You two gentlemen, please come with your humble post. The horses are all over there." The farm owner bowed his waist and walked sideways in front of Li Xu and the others. After walking several hundred miles along the pasture, he saw the stables, which were very large. Li Xu visually inspected the past, there are at least a thousand horses here.

"It's really spectacular!" Li Xu said with emotion.

"This Xishan Racecourse is owned by the royal family. The horses here are definitely the best, otherwise we would not dare to offer them up. Come and see these horses. They are all wild horses that have just been tamed. Seeing that the general is so brave, he should be equipped with such a strong horse. If a civil servant came, he would not dare to recommend such a horse, for fear of hurting the nobleman."

Kou Xiao was very satisfied with his knowledge and interest, and followed him to see the horses. They were indeed BMW horses, the ones that he wanted to take home when he saw them, but Kou Xiao looked at them carefully and found that they were not It wasn't the one I had my eyes on before.

The host turned on the lamp, and Kou Xiao could see more clearly. When the horse saw a stranger coming, it immediately snorted and neighed, and kicked its two front hooves uneasily, as if it wanted to kick the person.

"What a horse!" Kou Xiao's eyes were hot, and he stretched out his hand to touch the head of a maroon horse. The other party pushed his head against him, and opened his mouth to bite, but Kou Xiao held his jaw and couldn't move.

Kou Xiao flicked its nose, and laughed and cursed: "You are lucky to be seen by this general, don't be so blind, you will have a chance to gallop on the battlefield with this general, otherwise you want to be kept in a stable Is it a year?"

What is the fate of the horse given to the royal family? Kou Xiao knows too well?The emperor is getting old, and he seldom rides a horse. Most of the clan members of the royal family are extravagant and lustful people. It would be nice to be able to ride a horse for shopping. More horses that are sent can only stay in the stables for a lifetime. , eat and drink well until replaced.

The owner of the field also echoed: "The general is right. It is an honor to be able to gallop with the general on the battlefield. What an honor it is to be shrouded in horse leather! How many horses do you want to choose?"

The owner originally wanted to ask them for a souvenir from the emperor, or a eunuch in charge to pass on an oral order, but he felt guilty because of such unfounded evidence.

Li Xu said calmly: "The emperor rewarded General Kou with three horses, and I happen to be short of horses, so let's choose a few horses here, but I'm not very good at this, so General Kou can help you choose." .”

The one who can call himself "the king" must be the prince of the royal family. The owner's legs softened, and the smile on his face became more sincere. Without the slightest hesitation before, he smiled and said: "You can choose, and you will be humble tomorrow morning!" Send it to you."

Kou Xiao licked his lower lip, feeling the urge to buy the entire racecourse, but the most convenient way is to wait for the prince to inherit the throne, then the racecourse will naturally become theirs, and then...how many horses do you want? There are so many horses, it's really cool.

Kou Xiao bought all the horses recommended by the owner, then took Li Xu for a walk, and picked out a few horses that were pleasing to the eye, but he still didn't see the one he wanted, so he asked: " Are all the horses here?"

"The tamed horses are all here, and there are still a few untamed horses wandering around outside. It's only a matter of a few days. If the general can wait, he can send them to you in a few days."

Kou Xiao became interested and insisted on seeing those untamed wild horses. Li Xu also wanted to see how strong the untamed horses were, so the two went out together.

Before they took a few steps, they saw a black figure rushing towards them like a gust of wind. Before they could evade, they rushed straight towards them.

"My lord, be careful!" Seeing this, Kou Jiajun stepped forward and stopped Li Xu behind him, building a human wall in front of Li Xu.

But before they could make a move, Kou Xiao took a few steps to run up, and with a jump, he directly faced the black shadow. With his two long legs parted, he sat on the horse's back accurately, and then hugged the horse. Tighten his neck tightly, trying to control the horse.

The owner of the racecourse shouted in horror: "General, no, this horse is too fierce and won't let anyone get close to it. Come down quickly."

Kou Xiao insisted on pulling the horse's neck to make it turn around. Finally, it didn't get into the crowd, but it changed direction instantly and ran away with Kou Xiao.

Li Xu has great confidence in Kou Xiao, knowing that even if he can't tame a wild horse, he can protect himself, and when he sees a man and a horse they run away in an instant, so he doesn't chase him anymore.

The host wiped off his cold sweat, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, let people go after you for your lowly position?"

Li Xu waved his hand and said: "No need, let him play by himself, whether he can tame the fierce horse depends on his ability."

"Actually, this horse is the most violent one. It has been here for four or five days and no one can get close to it. Several healthy servants were kicked and injured. It was originally planned to be released tomorrow."

Li Xu felt that the host was quite kind, and the good horse he got was actually willing to let go. You must know that a horse of this quality can be sold for thousands of gold in the capital. Horses are luxury goods in this era. Li Xu Xu has done so many businesses, but he couldn't get a horse farm.

"Wouldn't it be a pity to let go?" Li Xu asked casually.

The farm owner immediately explained: "Naturally, he didn't let it go randomly. Its range of activities is probably around here. When it comes into heat, we will send the mares to breed. The horses born will definitely be good."

Li Xu laughed, "That's right, with such good genes, the next generation will definitely be the same. The owner of the game has a lot of ideas."

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord. My humble job is to breed better horses."

"Is this racecourse only for the royal family? Does it provide horses for the army?"

"It depends on what the emperor wants. In fact, the royal family does not need so many horses. More horses are rewarded, but relatively few are given to the army. After all, we don't have enough to give away."

"How many horses are there in total in this racecourse?" Li Xu's brain started to move quickly. It would not be a pity to put the ready-made horses here. In case the third child takes the first step and takes it for himself, it will give the other party more help. It would be great if we could form a cavalry in these few days.

"Now there are more than 1000 two hundred adult horses, and more than 300 foals. After this spring, there will be hundreds more foals."

After Li Xu asked, he fell into deep thought. He didn't speak for a while, and the host cautiously accompanied him. He felt that this prince was not only young and handsome, but also had a surprisingly good temper. He had a guess about the identity of the prince, and he was even more respectful in his heart.

Soon, Li Xu heard a high-pitched horse cry and the hooves of a galloping horse, and a black shadow arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye as fast as lightning.

"Woo..." Kou Xiao whistled, raised the horse's hooves high, and then fell heavily on the ground, feeling the ground vibrate, and then saw it quietly lowered its head to eat grass, and it didn't have the domineering and fierce appearance just now.

"Good! General Kou tamed this wild horse in such a short time, how brave!"

Kou Xiao laughed and jumped down, ran to Li Xu and hugged him around a few times, his happy mood was comparable to the day of getting married, Li Xu didn't know what to say about him.

The Kou family’s soldiers have long been familiar with the affectionate behavior of these two, and they are serious couples, not to mention hugging, even kissing in public is normal, but this scene frightened the host, thinking: Oh! , What kind of general is really rude, dare to treat King Shun so casually, is he going to be beheaded?

Kou Xiao put Li Xu down after circling around, then ran to pat the horse's back, and said to the owner: "I don't need to bother the owner to give this horse to me, the general will take it away tonight." Take him away as soon as possible for fear of being caught first.

The host was still immersed in the shock of the scene just now, and secretly looked at the prince's face, seeing the smile on his face, showing no sign of anger, and admired him even more in his heart, such a heart is really rare in the world .

"The general likes it. You can take it away today, but you have to bring the horseshoe back tomorrow to install it. It's not easy to operate at night."

"Okay, let the prince deliver it tomorrow." Kou Xiao will definitely have to enter the mountain tomorrow, and he is worried about leaving this matter to others, so he has to leave it to Li Xu.

Li Xu also likes this horse, and it just so happens that his idea still needs the cooperation of the owner, so of course he is willing to run a few more times, so he nods to the owner.

The owner of the race was startled and startled, and could no longer face up to the relationship between the two, but as a humble owner of the race, he couldn't take care of the nobleman's affairs.

After choosing the horse, it was getting late, Li Xu and Kou Xiao turned back, and the wild horse that had just been tamed didn't have a leash, so it leisurely walked back beside Kou Xiao, like a domestic pet.

Li Xu asked curiously: "How did you tame it, isn't it too obedient?"

Kou Xiao proudly said: "This horse is very spiritual. The smarter the horse, the easier it is to communicate. This general is so brave. It is a perfect match with him. This shows that he also likes this general."

Li Xu asked with a half-smile: "Oh? It's a perfect match! Then you can live with it for the rest of your life, what kind of relationship is there?"

Kou Xiao consciously made a slip of the tongue, but Li Xu's jealousy made him feel more comfortable, and immediately hugged him and said, "That's different, you are my destiny, this is just a partner!"

"Slick tongue!" Li Xu cursed with a smile, but he wouldn't really be jealous of a beast.

When we got back to the hunting ground, the banquet was already over, and there were still noisy people playing around in the camp, Li Xu and Kou Xiao's departure was not conspicuous, and they went back to the camp directly after returning, without disturbing too many people.
