Long live the general

Chapter 73 Changan Dragon and Phoenix

Ranger is a proper noun, which is divided into the Xia of Qing Xiang and the Xia of Commoner.

The hero of Qing Xiang is the person like the fourth son of the Warring States Period. The hero of the commoner is? Refers to Guo Xie. Although he is just a white body, he has a very high reputation in the local area, and even the government dare not rob him of his edge. people.Some of them are so influential that they are even listed in the history books, occupying more space than many important court officials and feudal lords.

The most essential reason for this matter is that there is a power vacuum between the imperial court and the local people, and such groups will inevitably arise.They will intervene in things that the government can't control. From a certain point of view, they do have a set of codes of conduct, such as loyalty and virtue, and can handle some disputes that the government cannot resolve.But if this happens for a long time, they will in turn encroach on the prestige and prestige of the government in the local area, and even entangle the people to fight against the government.The power of the government to speak has gradually weakened, and things that were able to be managed before can no longer be controlled later.

To that extent, if you can't fight, you can only work together.

Huo Yi didn't intend to have anything to do with Guo Xie. This kind of local snake is really not easy to mess with. He? He didn't want to cause trouble.

We can wait until we return to Chang'an to discuss this matter.

At night, the candles of Guo's house were still flickering in the distance, Huo Yi looked at it for a while, closed the window and fell asleep.

Because Zhang Dasheng didn't wake up after drinking yesterday, Huo Yi and Huo Xiaoman went to Qian's house by himself.The person who came out to greet him was the servant of Qian's family, told him that Qiancao was not here today, and asked Huo Yi to come back in a few days.

Huo Yi frowned at this unexpected situation: "Has the horse you mentioned yesterday been delivered?"

"No...not yet." The Qian family servant stammered.

There is a problem with this look, Huo Yi said: "In this case, let's take a look at the black man from before."

The servant of the Qian family was stunned, subconsciously wanting to stop him?Huo Yi saw their resistance, but he was very puzzled. They had a good chat with Qian Cao yesterday, but they were not allowed to enter today.

"Why, isn't it convenient?" Huo Yi asked.

The servant of the Qian family's forehead was sweating slowly, blocking the door and saying, "General Huo, it's really inconvenient. The master is not here, so I really can't be the master..."

"This is interesting. Yesterday we discussed with Boss Qian to buy horses today, but Boss Qian disappeared today." Huo Yi tilted his head and asked, "Are you hiding from me?"

"No, no, no... Really? The master has something important to do, and he set off before dawn this morning..."

"I just live in the inn, why didn't I hear any movement?"

The servant of Qian's family turned pale, and Ai Ai Qiqi said: "This...could it be? I left earlier..."

Huo Yi waved his hand: "If? It's fine if I didn't say anything good, but yesterday I even paid the deposit, it's not good for Boss Qian to act like this."

He? After finishing speaking, he went straight in. Huo Xiaoman held down the servant of the Qian family and said, "Brother, the master doesn't want to embarrass you. If you have anything to say, let the boss personally talk about it."

How could the servants of the Qian family be their opponents? Several other servants surrounded them, but they didn't dare to make a move.

Huo Yi broke into Qian's house, just in time to see Qian Cao leaving in a hurry.When the two met, Qian Cao wanted to run as soon as she stopped, and forcibly calmed down.

"Boss Qian." Huo Yi arched his hands: "This is? Where are you going?"

Qian Cao had an embarrassed expression, and hurriedly bowed: "Don't dare..."

"Since Boss Qian is here, let's take a look at the horse." Huo Yi said.

Qian Cao used the same excuse as the servant: "The horse mentioned earlier hasn't come yet, why don't the general come back in two days?"

"Let me see Hei Fu."

"This……"

Huo Yiming knew that the problem was Heifu, he walked over, put his arms around Qiancao's shoulders, and said slowly: "Boss Qian, let's go together."

Qian Cao walked with difficulty and was dragged away by Huo Yi: "General, there is something wrong with Hei Fu."

"What? Diarrhea?"

"Not really?..."

No matter how much Qiancao resisted, they still came to the stable in the backyard. There were dozens of horses in it, but there was no black husband.

Huo Yi has already speculated, so? Not surprised, he asked with a half-smile: "Boss Qian, where is the black man? It can't be? Did you run away last night?"

Qian Cao sighed deeply, bowed deeply to him, and said, "The matter has come to this, and I can't do anything about it. General, I know you love horses, so you came here just for Hei Fu. Just... ? Xiaomin can't help it. To tell you the truth, the Qian family has raised horses for generations, and the stallions here are famous far and wide. They are definitely not a disappointment to you. In this way, you can see that the rest of the horses are all? I carefully bred them Yes, what do you like, just take them all away? Xiaomin won’t accept a penny.”

He? These words are very Chicheng, Huo Yi observed? His? expression, said: "What you said, I am? to buy horses, not? To snatch horses."

Qian Cao's complexion darkened.

"Then this black man is? He was snatched away?" Huo Yi asked.

"No, no, no..." Qian Cao quickly denied it, his attitude was exactly the same as Zhang Dasheng's yesterday.

"Guo Gong..." Before Huo Yi finished speaking, Qian Cao hurriedly interrupted: "General, don't hurt me."

Huo Yi thought to himself, this is worse than His Majesty's name.Gao Gong knew that those people were going to write articles to scold Zhou Zhenyan, but he never had to worry about his own head.

Qian Cao sighed and said, "General, who is this horse? I gave it to Duke Guo voluntarily."

He? Tell Huo Yi about what happened yesterday.After Huo Yi left yesterday, Guo Xie came to chat with him for a few words, looked at the horse, and said he liked Hei Fu, but he didn't say he wanted it.

After Guo Xie left, Qian Cao thought about it for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, she took the initiative to send Heifu to her door.

Of course he knew that he had already made an appointment with Huo Yi, but it was obvious that the fear made him prefer to break the agreement with Huo Yi.

The others are Yi Yi Jing Jianwei, Mr. Guo is Yi Yi Wei Jian Wei.

This sense of oppression that has been formed for a long time is much more terrifying than direct grabbing.

"Guo Gong accepted it?" Huo Yi asked after listening.

Qian Cao: "He? Didn't refuse..."

Huo Yi hummed lightly.

Qian Cao tentatively asked, "General Huo, why don't you take a look at the other horses?"

"No need, since we talked about it before, I will definitely win the black husband." Seeing Qian Cao's expression of embarrassment, Huo Yi said: "I know you are in trouble, I will solve this matter myself, and I will give you the money to buy the horse as usual. Boss Qian, the others? Those horses? Leave them to me."

They patted Qiancao's shoulder, and left with Huo Xiaoman.

After walking out of Qian's house, Huo Yi looked at the location of Guo's house.

Huo Xiaoman squeezed the sword at his waist. He only brought a sword when he went out today. Then Guo's family is full of vicious and vicious people, which makes him a little worried.

If I knew it, I would have brought a few more people... Huo Xiaoman thought to himself, bringing just a few people from the Northern Army would not be a problem against the Guo family? Problem.

But I have only heard of using the army to expel foreigners and suppress bandits, how can it be used to deal with ordinary people.

Huo Yi suddenly said: "Tell me, does Mr. Guo know that I am here? To buy horses."

Although it is a question, but Huo Yi clearly is not the tone of the statement.Huo Xiaoman hesitated and said, "Do you know...?"

"So? He? He made a special trip to Qian's house, is it? For what." Huo Yi's tone was a bit cold: "Give me a blow?"

"He? Dare?" Huo Xiaoman really couldn't imagine that so many dignitaries in the entire Chang'an city would not dare to provoke the Patriarch, how could a commoner in a remote place dare to be so provocative.

"That's because he was in Thief Town, so he dared to act like this."

Huo Xiaoman couldn't help asking: "What is he?

Huo Yi thought to himself, probably Mr. Guo just wanted to test his bottom line.

When he reached the gate of Guo's house, Huo Xiaoman held the hilt of his sword and said, "Patriarch, if he dares to disrespect you, I will cut off his head."

Huo Yi's tone was cold: "He? No way, just like what Zhang Dasheng said, the current Guogong has changed his ways and returned to the righteous? He is a virtuous person."

How can a virtuous person move? Not move? Just beat and kill.

There are two servants outside the Guo family, they? They also look very fierce, in short, they are different from ordinary servants.When they saw Huo Yi coming to the door, they looked at each other and went in to report.

After a while, Guo Xie came out to meet Huo Yi himself.

"General Huo's visit at the door really makes me flourish." Guo Jie said with a smile, and turned sideways to welcome Huo Yi into the gate of Guo's house.

When they saw that Huo Yi was only followed by Huo Xiaoman, they couldn't help admiring Huo Yi's courage.

The general from Chang'an is indeed extraordinary.

The Guo family is indeed a commoner's house. There is no property in the family. The yard is quite large, but the decoration is very simple and there are no valuable things.Most of the people here are young people, following behind Guo Xie.Therefore, although Guo Xie was of average appearance and height, he was surrounded by people? He had a demeanor that attracted much attention.

Huo Yi straightforwardly explained the purpose of his visit. That black horse is? He? He? He? Has long been interested in it, and he has already talked with Boss Qian. Knowing that Guo Gong also likes horses, he can? Give him? A few horses from In exchange for good horses from the north.

Guo Xie had a good attitude and said, "The general likes it, so naturally I won't take it away."

On the surface, they are at least very respectful of the power of the government.

"It's just that the black man has a bad temper and is not easy to tame. I locked him in the stable yesterday and started fighting with other horses." Guo Xie said, "So, I locked the black man in another place alone. A place. General, please come to the racecourse with me first, and I will ask my subordinates to bring Hei Fu over."

They? Take? Huo Yi to the backyard. There is no fence in the backyard of the Guo family. Instead, they built a horse farm with a rather large area.Since the implementation of the horse policy, everyone in the common people's family has been proud of having a horse and a good horse.Anyone with money will build a racecourse, but depending on individual circumstances, the level of the racecourse varies.The Guo family is bigger, but simple.

A commoner like Guo Xie actually doesn't have much money—this lack of money is? Relatively speaking, compared to those who do business, it is indeed much worse, and it is not as good as some aristocratic families. After all, they have nothing else to do except farming. • Legitimate income.

But Guo Xie must be richer than the honest common people.They? Not only have to support their own family, but also those who defected to them? Those people are all? them.

Huo Yi looked around, and everyone around him was staring at him, Huo Xiaoman was already tense, he smiled, and said: "I have heard of Guo Gong's name for a long time, Guo Gong is very kind and generous. You are known as a chivalrous man, so many people voluntarily come to join you."

Guo Xie waved his hand modestly. Even though he and Huo Yi knew each other and looked down on each other, Huo Yi still spoke nicely.

"As a subordinate, I just insist on doing what I say, doing what I say, and putting my loyalty first." Guo Xie said with a hearty smile, "It's really a blessing for me to meet General Huo now."

"Loyalty comes first, well said, well said." Righteousness comes first, that is? There is neither loyalty nor filial piety in my heart.

Huo Yi glanced at everyone present, and said with emotion: "I am afraid that there are thousands of knights gathered here because of their loyalty."

"Almost, almost, hahaha." Speaking of this, Guo Xie was still very happy, and he tried his best to maintain a humble heart: "It's just... a group of like-minded friends."

In a small town of thieves, thousands of desperadoes gathered in Guo Xie's mansion. How could it be possible? Some people dared to provoke them.When Guo Xie secretly hinted that he had a special liking for Hei Fu, how could Qian Cao not take the initiative? Offering a horse.

Both the general in Chang'an City and Guo Gong in Thief Town have the power to kill them, but it is obvious that the knife from Guo Gong will fall faster.

They chatted with each other for a few words, and the atmosphere eased a lot. Huo Yi had a smile on his lips, and his thin figure looked unthreatening.When they try to appear friendly, it's hard for others to be wary of them.

Guo Xie looked at his cold white skin and protruding hand bones, and his slender waist was very conspicuously outlined by the black robe. He couldn't help thinking, this is General Huo of Megatron Dayue?General Huo was different from what he imagined, and even looked more peaceful than the county magistrate. Guo Xie inevitably felt a little contemptuous, and felt that Huo Yi was a good person.

This kind of complicated emotion continued until his subordinates brought Heifu over. Heifu moved very loudly, neighing and kicking all the way, and anyone who dared to get close to it was kicked away.The group of people around didn't even dare to surround it, holding the reins to pull it over, and a few people behind them blocked it with whips and long sticks.

Heifu only has a rein and no saddle on him. His dark body and smooth hair glisten in the sun, his vigorous limbs are extremely slender, and his sinews are tightly attached to his perfect frame. He looks heroic and imposing. high spirited.

Guo Xie couldn't tame the horse himself, so he smiled and said, "I don't intend to take away the general's love, as long as you can tame such a fierce horse, there's no harm in giving it to the general."

Huo Yi gave a low laugh.

He walked over, found someone casually, and said, "Let me borrow a whip."

Before the man could react in a daze, Huo Yi whipped the long whip in his hand.

Heifu is out of temper, isn't he? Just talking, it still has a rein on its head, snorts when someone pulls it, its limbs keep jumping, and its black hair flutters in the air.It had great strength, and the person holding the rein in front let go, it raised its head suddenly, pulled the rein to break free, and then rushed directly towards Huo Yi's direction.

The author has something to say:

For example, some people dare to go to the gate of the government to make trouble, but no one dares to provoke the underworld/society.
