Chapter 2 The trip to Xiazhou

Yue Gu sat under the window and lowered her head to embroider. This situation made Yang Hao feel sad. The female lady who was riding a horse and shooting archery on the grassland had been tortured into an embroidered woman by this cage. W     w W      .

81zW.

When CoM saw Yang Hao coming, Yue Gu put down the embroidered frame and stood up, lowered his head without saying anything. The prisoner tactfully closed the iron door and retreated, and the room returned to seclusion.

Yang Hao noticed a new door was built on the wall beside the window on the south side of the house. There was a huge and sturdy copper lock hanging on it, but the key was inserted into the keyhole, which meant that Yue Gu could walk out of the cell and go for a walk in the yard at any time.

Needless to say, it is Guan Suo who can have such "creativeness". Even if others have this idea, they don't have the courage. The Military and Law Department sentenced Yue Gu to be imprisoned for life, and it is not clear where the imprisoned is imprisoned. Yang Hao originally wanted to set up a small courtyard in the back garden and let Yue Gu live in it. Even if she doesn't want to come out, she has time to see her often. But this kindness was rejected by Yue Gu. Yang Hao could not forget the look she looked when she rejected him, and was cold and resentful. Whenever she thought of her, her heart was sore and painful.

Although Yue Gu took the initiative to serve his sentence in Fengzhou prison, he was still anxious that the Fa Cao judge Si Menglang. He could not tell the truth about how to imprison Yue Gu and how to imprison Yue Gu. Later, after someone in his fifties, the old official knocked on Guan Suo's door late at night and asked for advice from the younger generation twice as younger than him.

Guan Suo advised him that the first priority of being imprisoned is to live in a quiet and quiet environment, and no idle people should disturb him. Secondly, since it is imprisonment, she cannot let her go out of Feng'an prison at will, especially the defense courtyard, otherwise where is the majesty of the law?

Meng Lang suddenly realized and went with great gratitude. After returning to the prison, he vacate his office and converted it into an elegant cell as a place for Yue Gu to serve his sentence. Zhang Bozhong once saw it and looked at a piece of yellow soil outside the window and said, "Is it too monotonous? If the wind blows, sand will pour into the house." Meng Lang understood, and as soon as Zhang Bozhong left, he immediately took people to lay grass on the open space and plant flowers. The green scenery was very beautiful.

Soon Guan Suo also came over to see him. Before leaving, he walked to the window of the south wall, looked at the small garden for a while, and then slapped the wall.

Meng Lang decided that his shot was famous, so he thought about it for three days and three nights. When his wife saw that he was muttering all day long, she asked the reason. Meng Jue Si told the truth. The old wife clapped her hands: "Don't you understand? He thinks that the wall is in the way. Just open a door in the place he has patted." Meng Lang suddenly realized, hugged his wife and kissed her. The old wife was shocked and stunned, and opened her mouth for a long time. The next day, Meng Lang summoned people, took charge of command, and opened a door on the wall. The reason was to facilitate the gardener to trim flowers and trees in the yard.

Yang Hao took off the lock and threw it aside. He pushed open the small door and walked into the courtyard. It was only a square acre. There were several locust trees in the northeast corner. There was a bush of roses along the wall on the south side. There was a pool next to the rose bush. The water of the pool was used to water the flowers and trees. Some people also raised a few fish inside. When the weather was shaggy, you could often see the fish leaning to breathe.

Yang Hao asked Yuegu: "The air outside is good, why should I hide in the house?"

Yue Gu did not answer Yang Hao’s question, but asked: “Why do you want to imprison my father again?”

Yang Hao didn't understand how Yue was alone in prison and knew that Mr. Man was not under house arrest, so he replied: "Your father launched an army to capture Ningbian County, killed Ningbian County Magistrate Zhu Yong, and massacred innocent people. According to the law, he should be executed."

Yue Gu said in anger: "According to the rules, I should be beheaded, why don't you kill me, but you want to ban me here like a sheep? I would rather be killed by you than live like this. Please kill me and bury my body in the prairie. I will be grateful to you in the next life."

After hearing this, Yang Hao became inexplicably irritated and said angrily: "It's not that I don't want to kill you, it's that I can't kill you. You are willing to use it for others to assassinate your husband. Not only do you not regret it, but you also complain that I have imprisoned you here? You don't want to stay here, I insist that you stay until your face fades and grows up slowly." After that, he slammed the door and left with resentment, regardless of the sound of Yue Gu's sobbing behind him.

Originally, she wanted to relive her old love, but she didn't want to make a fuss. Yang Hao regretted and blamed herself, and her face was gloomy and ugly. As soon as she arrived at the door of the prison, she ran into Qing'er and the maid Jinling. Jinling was holding a food box in her hand. When she saw Yang Hao, she quietly hid the food box behind her and glanced at Qing'er unnaturally.

Qing'er didn't expect Yang Hao to come. When she met on a narrow road, it was too late to hide. When she saw Yang Hao's gloomy face, she guessed that he had hit a nail in Yue Gu. Qing'er knew his personality too well. If this nameless fire didn't find a place to vent, he would be unhappy for the whole day. She secretly complained in her heart that this good person was really unbearable. She made some snacks kindly to see Yue Gu, and she wanted to be his punching bag for no reason.

Qing'er gritted her teeth, forced a little smile, and said lightly: "Why are you here too?"

Yang Hao gave her a blank look and snorted softly from his nose: "Since you are here, you won't go in." After saying this, he went there on his own, and he didn't catch anyone's fire for the first time.

"I'm scared to death." Jin Ling patted her heart and secretly felt glad.

Qing'er glared at her and snorted, "What's there to be afraid of? Can he eat it?"

Jin Ling didn't dare to say anything, but muttered in her heart: "This good person really can't be a good person. She was worried about you just now, and she came to quarrel at me now. She deserves someone to be scolded to be comfortable."

...

This is Yang Hao's first time to visit Xiazhou. Judging from the size of the city, Xiazhou is much larger than Feng'an, but it is far less prosperous than Feng'an. Although Feng'an is small, it is full of vitality and is full of new things. Although Xiazhou is large, it is still in a dusk and is in ruins.

Meng Bochang went out of the city to greet him personally. After not seeing him for more than a year, Meng Bochang seemed to have not changed at all. He still looked tall, thin, and cold, and his eyes were still condescending. He greeted Qing'er and Lu Rui, and then asked Xiaoyu: "Are you his old lover Xiaoyu?"

Xiaoyu also imitated his tone and said, "Are you his old friend Meng Bochang?"

Meng Bochang was speechless and stopped talking in blinking. Lu Rui covered his mouth and laughed endlessly. Yang Hao was afraid that Meng Bochang would not come down, so he glared at her. Lu Rui quickly lowered his head, but laughed even more presumptuously.

Qing'er hurriedly said, "Let's go to the city to see your nephew first." Xiaoyu patted Lu Rui: "Don't smile foolishly, it makes people feel embarrassed." Lu Rui finally stopped laughing, but it felt uncomfortable. Meng Bochang was afraid of her, so he said to Yang Hao, "Don't you want to see my horse farm? Let's go, I'll go with you." Yang Hao felt quite emotional when he said the word "accompaniment". In his impression, Meng Bochang always talked to him condescendingly and ignored him. It seems that it is really different from the past. Even the Marshal Meng, who is above the top, began to look at him differently.

Meng Bochang's horse farm is located in the west of Xiazhou City, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres. The horse farm raises a thousand inferior horses that are only suitable for carts and carrying goods. In the "Dongsai Town Agreement", the Uighurs promised not to interfere with the dispute between Fengzhou and Quze tribe. Yang Hao was determined to use this opportunity to send troops to the Quze tribe to obtain the skills of the Quze tribe to raise oulong foals and breed such excellent horses by himself. The oulong foals are really excellent. With it, there is no need to worry about the nomadic tribes on the grassland that come and go like the wind.

There are many places suitable for building horse farms in Fengzhou, but Yang Hao does not want this technology to spread to the surrounding nomadic peoples. The deep mainland of Xiazhou is easier to keep secrets than Fengzhou.

Therefore, just as the "Dongsai Town Agreement" was signed, Yang Hao wrote a letter to Meng Bochang, advising him to use the horse farm to raise precious oolong horses. However, Meng Bochang has never received a positive response. This time when he came to Xiazhou, Yang Hao was trying to persuade Meng Bochang to change his course. Now he took the initiative to take him to see the horse farm, which is undoubtedly a good omen.

"What exactly is Tianma you mentioned? Can you let me know?"

Meng Bochang had heard of the name of the Oulong Horse, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. He was quite dissatisfied with this kind of magical horse. With his personality, even if you didn't see it with your own eyes, he wouldn't really believe it. Yang Hao decided to speak with facts and let him see the handsomeness of the Oulong Horse with his own eyes. He waved behind him, and the guard Zhang Lang came over on a tall skeletoned thin horse.

"Is this the legendary Tianma?" Meng Bochang's face was covered with a thick cloud. The Wulong horse's appearance was too inconspicuous. He was big and thin in bones, and his fur was gray. How could he look like a Tianma?

"Brother, how about we race for a lap?" Zhang Lang challenged a small school next to Meng Bochang who rode a Hexi horse.

The primary school turned his horse's head and asked, "How to compare?"

Zhang Lang pointed to a big tree two miles away: "By bypass that tree and come back."

"Let's go!" The school took a horse and left. This was completely Meng Bochang's style, and he did it as he said, without any delay.

"Go!" Zhang Lang didn't expect the other party to react so quickly. When he was urging the horse to start, the school had already rushed out at least twenty feet. Meng Bochang sneered: "Is this the soldiers you lead? Is this still useful?" Yang Hao didn't say anything. The reason why Zhang Lang reacted so slowly was that he explained in advance, in order to completely convince Meng Bochang.

In less than a cup of tea, the two horses ran back one after another. When they arrived, the school was more than twenty meters ahead of Zhang Lang. When they came back, the two horses were basically walking side by side. Everyone couldn't help but stutter, but Meng Bochang kept silent. The two riding skills were almost the same. Zhang Lang was able to come from behind because the horse under his seat was good. When he was half a mile away from the finish line, Zhang Lang shouted at the school: "Brother, I'll leave first." He clamped his legs, and the oolong horse suddenly opened its four hooves and rushed out "swooshing" a large piece, like a horse descending to the earth, and immediately left the school far behind.

Seeing Zhang Lang and his horse coming towards him, Meng Bochang's servants couldn't help but feel panic, because according to common sense, they could not hold back the horse at such a close distance!

But Meng Bochang didn't move, who dared to move?

"Wow—"

When Zhang Lang was still three or four feet away from the crowd, he pulled away the horse's reins, and the fast-moving wulong horse suddenly stopped four hooves and stood firmly. The crowd suddenly burst into screams. Zhang Lang threw the small school riding Hexi horses nearly thirty feet away, and was able to suddenly stop in the running. It is clear which of the two horses is better.

Meng Bochang had nothing to say. He called Xiao Yunze, the tooth general who was taking care of the horse farm: "Empty the here within ten days, and the stables must be carefully washed and ready to welcome the horse into the stables." Meng Bochang only said once, and the people below dared not question his orders at all. Xiao Yunze, the captain of the horse management team, frowned. It was really too embarrassing to deal with thousands of horses within ten days.

"Give me all these horses, I can use them on my farm." Yang Hao came up with an idea for him.

"You can give it to you, you can trade it for cash, and you won't be on credit." Meng Bochang looked stern and did not give in. Yang Hao is now a wealthy upstart in the north. Is it reasonable to not knock on his robbery?
