Bright moon out of Tianshan

Hearing this, Xiao Jian almost trembled, and hurriedly said carefully: "Your Majesty, the villain dare not bargain with you. The villain has made such a appearance, if your majesty has seen the villain, he must be deeply impressed. Your Majesty Rong Xiao It is a great favor for a person to speak here. Although a villain is not naturally intelligent, he can learn things very quickly. No matter what your Majesty asks you to do, within your ability, do as you ask. Shut up here to eat and die."

Zhao Yuancai looked at him, although his expression was weird, but he seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Ugly, what you said makes sense. Although you are ugly, I don't know why I like to listen to you, but I am willing to let you go." A way to survive. Of course, I am a person who values ​​friendship, and it is true that I am reluctant to part with Baili Rong."

Xiao Jian repeatedly echoed: "Yes, yes, His Majesty is indeed a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If you don't cherish Young Master Baili, why bother to rush to this dark prison cell?"

Zhao Yuancai said: "If you make such a fuss, what can I do if I don't come in and take a look? Maybe my original intention is to visit you! Don't keep thinking about running away. Where can you go when you are like this? Why don't you stay here?" I, Zhao Guo, choose a job to do, and I will not treat you badly. But you have to keep the male and female slaves behind this, and you are running with so many people, do you want the whole harem to come out?"

Seeing that things had turned around, Xiao Jian hurriedly said, "The villain dare not."

Zhao Yuancai squinted at him, the expression in his eyes was unclear, Xiao Jian let him look at him calmly, and listened to him for a moment: "Do you know how to raise horses? Go to the royal pasture in the west to graze horses."

In fact, Xiao Jian really wanted to continue repairing his grave, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he saluted respectfully: "Yes, thank you Your Majesty. The villain used to ride horses and feed the horses, so I probably can handle it. The villain I will use what I have learned, and I will apply what I have learned. These two are stupid and lazy, and they are used to getting into trouble, can you allow the villain to take them with you and teach your Majesty well?"

Zhao Yuancai then stared at Xiumei and Ding Xiang behind Xiao Jian, and then said: "These two people are average in appearance, and they are considered to be above average. It would be a pity to leave. But boy, you'd better take Baili Rong's Hand over the antidote, he has been looking for you so many times, even I am impatient, are you not annoyed? If he dies, I will replace him with you!"

He said this to Xiu Mei, and Xiu Mei's face slowly turned red, but she didn't know how to deal with it.Xiao Jian slowly retreated to his side, whispering: "Give it to him!"

Zhao Yuancai sneered and said: "I am willing to give you a way out, so don't try to make trouble. Take out the antidote, and let you take this little girl and let the horse go!"

So Xiumei seemed to have figured it out under Xiao Jian's hint, and handed over the antidote hidden in a secret place to Bai Lirong.

The three of them were blasted to the Royal Horse Farm at the eastern foot of Luliang Mountain in the west of Taiyuan City to graze their horses.Before leaving the prison, Zhao Yuancai threw the black silk scarf to Xiao Jian again: "It's better to cover your face, don't make my horses disgusting. My horses are all good horses from Mongolia. You're so disgusting that you can't even eat fodder, I'll ride you like a horse!"

These words are hateful, ambiguous and unpleasant, Xiao Jianren had no choice but to endure it under the eaves.He looked at Ding Xiang evasively and didn't dare to look at him, and he didn't want to frighten the little girl easily, so he covered his face again as he said.

The royal horse farm has a magnificent name "Jianyun Ranch", which occupies a huge area, but the grass on the pasture has not yet turned green, and the desolate wilderness extends directly to the foot of the rolling Luliang Mountain in the distance.

Next to them was an old man with benign eyebrows and kind eyes, fluttering beard and knotted clothes, and a black flute pinned to his waist, which was crystal clear and made of something unknown.The soldiers who sent them here treated the old man very respectfully.Handing the three of them to the old man, he went back on his own.

The old man looked over one by one, and the three of them stood respectfully and let him look at him. Then the old man said: "My surname is Shu, and my name is Xingcao. You all have to call me grandpa at your age. When the pasture turns green again, the two men and I Let the horses go, the girls are cooking and washing." Then squinting at Xiao Jian, he said, "Recover the things on your face." Xiao Jian followed his advice and lifted up the black veil.Shu Xingcao looked at it and said, "Let's uncover another layer."

Xiao Jian smiled and said, "No...not anymore."

Shu Xingcao snorted coldly: "The stables are over there, go and see for yourself. In the past, Zhao Yuancai also sent a few people to help me. I thought they were too clumsy, so I sent them back. Now the old man is alone in this ranch. It's true. I need a few helpers."

Xiao Jian asked tentatively, "How many horses are there?"

Shu Xingcao said: "Not many, just more than 2000 horses. They are neglected and trained, and they look like wild horses. You need to help me tidy up this group of things."

Xiao Jian and Xiumei looked at each other, and thought: "More than 2000 horses, one person! My God, how did he let this horse go?"

Everyone lives in a row of adobe houses, which are extremely simple.Shu Xingcao assigned them two rooms.His original intention was to let Xiao Jian and Xiumei share a room, but Xiao Jian insisted that he was used to sleeping alone and would never share a room with others, so Xiumei and Ding Xiang were helplessly shy and forced to live together.Shu Xingcao turned a blind eye to the young man's nonsense, pretending he didn't see it.

So far, the three of them followed Shu Xingcao to herd horses in Jianyun Ranch.Xiao Jian has nowhere to go, and he likes horses by nature. After a few days of wandering around, he feels that life seems to be pretty good, so he gave up the idea of ​​leaving and plans to take root here.Xiumei wanted to leave wholeheartedly, but Dingxiang was from Taiyuan, but she was reluctant to leave her hometown. The young couple discussed for a long time, but they couldn't argue, so they were delayed.

When spring begins, the snow on the mountain melts little by little, forming streams that flow down the mountain.The grassland under the mountain turned green piece by piece, and large wildflowers grew vigorously along with the green grass.

Shu Xingcao led the two of them to release a large number of horses from the stables.Shu Xingcao picked a tall and big horse to sit on, stretched out his hand and pulled out the black flute around his waist, brought it to his lips and played it, a clear and melodious sound resounded through the sky in an instant.At this time, an interesting thing happened. A large number of imperial horses lined up in a line listening to the sound of the flute, and rushed towards the grassland in an orderly and fast manner.

Xiao Jian and Xiu Mei were dumbfounded, and quickly picked a horse to sit on, and followed Shu Xingcao.In the morning of spring, the breeze is smooth and the sound of the flute is beautiful.Xiao Jian listened carefully, and Shu Xingcao was playing the song "Broken", and he sang along softly: "The sky is high on the Moshang, the clouds are light, and the grass is misty and fragrant. Spring comes and returns, and the light and shadows forget the world. , let the horse go to Lvliang Mountain. Ask me where the hometown is, the apricot blossoms are misty and rainy in the south of the Yangtze River. In my dream, there are thousands of hectares of horizontal pond water, and the wind blows lotus leaves and He Tiantian. Lovesickness has never been idle."

Shu Xingcao took a look and smiled.Xiu Mei heard it in her ears, but suddenly burst into tears, it seemed that she was touched by him, and the bad habit of homesickness had broken again.When the horses scattered to graze and Shu Xingcao had gone far away, he moved to Xiao Jian's side and said in a low voice, "Brother, you are from Jiangnan, don't you want to go home? Let's run away. I really want to go home."

Xiao Jian said: "I have no home for a long time, and now I have nowhere to go. Xiumei, it is not easy to escape." Pointing to the Shuxingcao in the distance, Xiumei pouted and said: "A bad old man, I am afraid What is he doing? What I hate the most now is that Ding Xiang doesn't want to leave Zhao, which makes me also in a dilemma. Brother, please help me!"

Xiao Jian smiled and said, "How can I help you? By the way, you can tell Ding Xiang that if she refuses to go with you, you might as well divorce her and let her marry me."

Xiu brows stammered: "Then...then she will be afraid..." Xiao Jian said: "It doesn't matter if she is afraid or not, as long as she refuses to leave, she must marry me! I have coveted her for a long time, and I have been in love with her for a long time. Now, she can't dislike me for being ugly. Go and tell her. "

This kind of threat is very effective, Ding Xiang panicked, and immediately agreed to leave with Xiu Mei.Xiao Jian prepared parcels of dry food and other things for the two of them. At midnight, the three of them sneaked out of the room, stole two horses to lead them, and touched the fence on the south side of the pasture. Then, when they looked up, they saw Shu Xing sitting on the grass. On the railing, holding a flute in his hand, he said calmly, "Go back."

Xiao Jian and Xiu Mei glanced at each other, there was no way out, Xiao Jian said: "Go!" The two of them held a saber and a sword, they rushed up from the left and right respectively, and rushed towards Shu Xingcao.The Xiao family's sword is full of momentum, and the Xiu's family's sword is rigorous and dense. They complement each other perfectly, but in the end, they were all in vain.Then Xiu eyebrows groaned, and was kicked away by Shu Xingcao.Xiao Jiansuan reacted quickly, rolled on the ground to avoid the flute thrown by Shu Xingcao, and immediately begged for mercy: "Grandpa Shu, we dare not."

Ding Xiang froze there in shock, and the package in her hand fell to the ground.

Shu Xingcao reached out and patted his sleeves, saying: "Get up early tomorrow, follow me to let the horses over there." Then he turned and left.

Xiumei got up from the grass and stood there in a daze. Xiao Jian advised, "Don't be discouraged. Tomorrow night, you will go from the north and then take a detour to the south. The old man must not have thought of it."

In the evening, the three of them sneaked around to the north of the ranch again, and were about to climb over the fence, when they heard the voice of Shu Xingcao not far away: "Where are you going?"

Xiao Jian smiled and said, "Not going anywhere, just strolling around."

Shu Xingcao said: "It's the middle of the night, what are you shopping for? Beware of ghosts, go back."

The three of them turned back in desperation, Xiao Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I can only do it hard!" He reached out and took out various small bottles from his waist pocket, picked one and said, "Lilac, this is Mongolian sweat medicine. Find it Put the opportunity in the old man's drinking water, it's all up to you!"

But Ding Xiang pointed to a small pink bottle and said in surprise: "What kind of medicine is this? The bottle is so beautiful!" The body of the bottle is painted with a sprig of juicy peach blossoms, red flowers and green leaves, which is really beautiful.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to take it, but Xiao Jian quickly slapped her hand away, squinting and said: "This can't be used casually, it's a good medicine, it can prolong life after taking it. The best effect is to make husband and wife harmonious, give it to your husband, He will never change his mind."

He babbled casually, but he didn't expect Ding Xiang to remember it firmly in his heart.It was late at night, and Xiao Jian heard the faint voice of Dingxiang next door: "Is it true that taking this medicine can prolong life? Xiumei, will you change your mind? Why don't you try it?"

Xiao Jian was shocked, he looked in his pocket, and sure enough the bottle of medicine had disappeared at some time.He had finished his thoughts and was complaining endlessly, but he could hear the voice from the other wall becoming indistinct.Xiao Jian secretly sighed: "You don't care about it, you don't care about it!" He couldn't listen to it anymore, so he had to go out of the room by himself, staring at the lonely moon in the sky, feeling very desolate and lonely.

When the three of them escaped for the third time, Shu Xingcao stopped them directly outside the door, with an ugly expression on his face: "Boy, do you dare to drug grandpa? Let’s go! Go back! If you go again, your legs will be broken!”

Xiu Mei and Ding Xiang were stunned, and Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "Grandpa Shu, I won't go! I will accompany you to the world! Xiu Mei is homesick, please hold your hands high and let them go home."

Shu Xingcao categorically said: "No!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xiumei was completely desperate, and suddenly squatted down, hugging her head and crying, Ding Xiang rushed to hug him, and the two cried together.Xiao Jian sighed: "Don't cry, there will be opportunities in the future. Tomorrow, let's ask Grandpa Shu about martial arts. One day in the future, swords and swords will be combined, and we will cross the rivers and lakes, and we will be happy and enmity, killing people like hemp, so that we can be a generation of you and me. British name. What do you think?"

Xiu brow choked and said: "It's the only way."

On the second day, Xiao Jian went to Shu Xingcao with the cheek, and Shu Xingcao sneered: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether you are Xiao Family Sword or Xiu Family Sword, it has nothing to do with Grandpa Shu! Grandpa will not expose your shame, there is no need Come to curry favor with me. Grandpa has kept horses here for so many years, he has seen many criminals for that dead boy, and he has not left a single one. The two of you have learned some three-legged cat skills, and you want to use the axe? "

Xiao Jian was startled for a while when he heard the pun in his words, and quickly apologized with a smile: "We don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Grandpa Shu, please forgive us. In fact, I really want to follow you, and I want to learn from you to play the flute. Let the horses go. Our horses are not ordinary horses, I think they are smarter than humans. I want to line up the horses and make a few battle formations, do you think it will work?"

Shu Xingcao became happy when he heard him praise his horse, and slapped the flute in his hand: "Good idea! Why can't I remember it. That damn boy Zhao Yuancai is coming over in two days. When the old man and him Tell me about this idea. But that kid has no eyes, he only knows that Hu Tian and Hu Di are fooling around, so it's useless to tell him."

Xiao Jian was taken aback, and secretly said: "Why is this emperor so restless, what is he doing here?"

When Zhao Yuancai led the team to Jianyun Ranch, Shu Xingcao couldn't help but snorted when he looked at Bailirong behind him, a dozen beauties dressed in Mongolian costumes, and the mighty guards.

Zhao Yuancai called out respectfully: "Uncle, are you safe?"
