Rebirth of Tao Yao

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually heats up, and occasionally a few cicadas can be heard on the treetops.

The border town in summer is peaceful, because the water and grass are luxuriant in summer, most Hu people in the north will be busy herding horses and sheep at this time, and no one will choose to start a war at this time.The war had to wait until autumn and winter. At that time, the people in the border towns had just harvested a full warehouse of grain, and after the grass withered and no longer needed to graze, the barbarians also took out their hands and feet to plunder.

But these are still far away from Yan Li and the others.Half-grown teenagers are like thriving saplings, they are still half-grown saplings, and no one will rush them to the battlefield before they become mature.They only care about growing up and polishing, and then in the not-too-distant future, they will take over the burden of their father and brother...Of course, this does not include Yan Li.

Yan Qing never thought of letting Yan Li's son inherit his father's career, he just felt that he owed this child, so he wanted him to live freely and freely.

At the end of May, a barbarian caravan came to the border town.This is not unusual for the people in the border towns, because such caravans come several times a year, and they bring gold and silver money in exchange for silk tea from the Liang Kingdom.

Regardless of how much of the gold and silver was snatched from the people of Liang, there are always people to do this business.

The caravan this time is a bit different, they still have to exchange silk tea, but at the same time they brought gold and silver, they also brought a batch of horses - Liang Guo is not short of horses, but when it comes to horses, it is Not as good as the alien species on the northern grasslands.

There are many garrisons in the border towns, and the style of bravery is destined to prevail. There will never be a shortage of people who appreciate things like BMW horses.The fact is also the same. As soon as these horses were brought into the city by the merchants, many people got the news and immediately went to have a look.

The market in the west of the city was extremely lively that day. In addition to the merchants who were doing business with the Hu people's caravan, many military figures also came.From the generals who came to see the horses, to the ordinary soldiers who came to see the excitement, and those businessmen who came to do business with the Hu people, they came and went, crowding the temporary shop where the Hu people's caravan was located.

Yan Liben also came to see the horses, and when he saw the bustling scene, he immediately lost most of his interest.

He was not a person who liked to join in the fun, but now that the weather was hot again, he really didn't want to squeeze in crowds.So he only stood outside the crowd and took a look, and then he gave up the idea of ​​going in to look at the horses. The left and right generals' mansions would not be short of one or two good horses.

Thinking like this, Yan Li turned around to leave, but before he could take a few steps, he bumped into a group of half-grown teenagers.

Gao Dashan was beaten the most by Yan Li, but he was also the one who had the closest relationship with Yan Li.Xu knew that Yan Li "liked" Miss Wen's little secret, gradually he was not afraid of him, and waved and smiled when he saw people: "Boss is here really early, have you gone in to see, how is the horse? I heard The horses on the barbarian side are taller and stronger than those in our country of Liang, and there are more different species, I wonder if there are any this time?"

Yan Li shook his head and replied: "There are too many people, I don't want to squeeze."

Hearing the words, Gao Dashan glanced at the crowd, and saw that there were many people surrounded by the barbarian's shop on the third and third floors, most of them were wearing military uniforms, but from the appearance of the clothes, he could tell that most of them were here to watch the excitement.

A boy next to him gave two "tsk tsk" and couldn't help but said, "I don't know what these people are doing around, and they can't afford it. If you want to watch the excitement, it's better to wait a few days for the generals to buy the horses, and they go to the school grounds." Look."

This is not polite to say, but it is also true.After all, the soldiers around were ordinary soldiers, not to mention that they couldn't afford a good horse with their salary, even if they were surrounded in such an outer place, they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.And everyone knows that the Hu people's store is a temporary building, and there are at most two or three horses tied outside, and more good horses will be placed elsewhere, so even if you squeeze to the front, you can't see a few horses.

Yan Li looked at the scorching sun above his head, but he still didn't want to join in the fun, so he said: "Let's come again another day."

Gao Dashan hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Don't, in a few days, the good Marco will be picked away by someone, what's the point?" Said: "Brothers, open the way, squeeze in!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, and they didn't think it was too hot for many people, so they rushed towards the crowd eager to fight.

A group of half-grown teenagers, although they are not very old, but together they are already a force to be reckoned with.Especially these people have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and grew up mixed in the military camp. Even if their martial arts skills are still insufficient, at least they still have brute force.So these people ran amok like little calves, and quickly squeezed their way through the crowd.

Gao Dashan pulled Yan Li, enjoying the fruits of everyone's labor openly, with a rare excitement on his face: "I don't know if these barbarians have brought any aliens this time, but I have spent the money I have saved all these years. brought them all."

Yan Li turned to look at him and asked, "Your family doesn't lack horses, does it?"

Gao Dashan rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and replied: "Who thinks there are too many horses?" After speaking, he moved closer to Yan Li, with a different look on his face: "Boss, my father said that this autumn If the barbarians come to Koubian again, he will take me to the battlefield to kill once, and see the blood. But the horses at home belong to my father and brothers, so I just want a horse of my own, and now I can use it to train In a few months, it will be useful at that time."

Yan Li was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and when he looked closely, he realized that the partner beside him had grown up—the boy was half a head taller than him, with a strong figure and a handsome appearance, with a light fluff around his lips, already grown up. Adult appearance.

The teenagers at the frontier border have grown up and will always go to the battlefield. Perhaps Gao Dashan is not the only one who will be brought to the battlefield by his father and brother to see blood this autumn, but Yan Li must not be included among them.Yan Li knew this very well, he didn't like the battlefield and he didn't like killing, but for some reason, after hearing Gao Dashan's words, he felt a little inexplicably disappointed.

Gao Dashan didn't notice it, and the two brothers seemed to bump Yan Li's shoulder with their shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Boss, your kung fu is the best among our brothers, and General Yan will definitely let you go to the battlefield this autumn." Right? But seeing blood or something, you must not be afraid, Boss."

Yan Li didn't answer him, and it happened that everyone squeezed into the innermost layer of the crowd.

The people who were talking to Hu Shang inside were all lieutenant generals, and the one with the highest official position was a general. He had originally agreed with Hu Shang to go to the back to watch the horses, but when he turned his head, he saw this group of teenagers squeezed in.

They are all children of the army, and they are familiar with each other's generals.The youngsters asked honestly, then one of them asked with a smile: "Boys, the news is fast, so they are all here, and they are also here to buy horses?"

The teenagers admitted it generously, and replied with a smile: "I might have to snatch the horse from the uncles."

The generals sneered at the words, knowing in their hearts that these boys were going to be old enough to go to the battlefield, so they had to prepare their horses in advance.So there was no embarrassment, and with a wave of his hand, General Shen led the crowd to follow the Hu merchant around the shop and went to the back.

The market in the west of the city is not small, but there are not many merchants coming and going. This Hu merchant has a lot of money. He rented a large piece of land as soon as he came, and built a temporary shed in front of him as a shop. All the good horses were placed in the shop. In the stables behind.They went around to the back to see that the red, black and various horses gathered together, maybe there were as many as a hundred of them.

Bad horses have no selling value, especially Liang Guo has no shortage of horses, what Liang Guo lacks is only good horses.Therefore, the hundred and ten horses brought by Hu Shang are all very handsome, and it is hard to put it down if you just pull out a horse.

Gao Dashan was excited when he saw these horses, and looked around with bright eyes, as if he wanted to find the best horse among the crowd.However, due to the presence of those generals, it was not easy for him to speak first, so he could only look at the horse secretly, and at the same time secretly regret in his heart-the best horse must be picked by these people first.

Perhaps Gao Dashan's emotions were too revealing, and when the general saw him, he said very generously: "There are a lot of good horses here, you can choose your own, first look, first served, don't talk about too many rules."

Obviously, this is the protection of the seniors for the juniors, and the generals have no objections.

The teenagers were overjoyed when they heard the words, and after thanking them, they rushed to various stables without hesitation to see their favorite horses.

Gao Dashan immediately ran towards a stable, and at the same time turned his head to Yan Li and said: "Boss, come here, I have seen it, the horses in this stable are the tallest, and they look very handsome."

Although Yan Li didn't need to go to the battlefield, he also came to see the horses, so he followed after hearing the words.

The generals next to him were not in a hurry, they just stood there and said a few gossips, and then scattered.

Hu Shang was always by his side, and he also listened to the gossip of several generals. When the crowd dispersed, he turned around and asked a follower by his side.The entourage lowered his head and responded with a few words in Hu language. After hearing this, Hu Shang turned his eyes and looked in Yan Li's direction.
