Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 134 Gift (4000 words)
When Jiang Tian, ​​who had made an extra lap on the street, returned to the gate of Qingqi Garden by car, he heard the faint "咴咴" sound of horses from a long distance away, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.Then, I saw Guantou Lao Gu who was waiting outside the door with a frightened face, and couldn't wait to come forward to report:

"I beg your forgiveness, Lord Xiaojiulang, who just delivered a healthy horse himself; because it is too conspicuous to park outside, so the old man made his own decision and ordered him to be brought to the garden first."

"It's okay, take me to have a look." Hearing the words, Jiang Tian urged with great interest:

Afterwards, he saw a big tall horse snorting and gnawing on the turf, tied to the edge of the small pond in the back garden, under the leafy maple tree.The whole body is glossy fur with purple spots on a white background, and there are clusters of thick manes on the head and tail, chest, back, and between the legs and feet, setting off the smooth and smooth muscle lines.

Therefore, there is no need to describe it in any language at all, and it looks like a good horse at first glance.Moreover, although the whole body is full of the unique strength and beauty of large riding animals, this big horse looks quite quiet and steady, and the dark and moist eyes are full of some kind of agility.

"It's good to be back, sir. This is the dew purple robe from the stables of Niaoshu Tongxue Mountain (now Niaoshu Mountain in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province) from the Qinzhou Jishi Army. It is also a little favor from the current family to sir." Da Ya walked up without seeing anyone, and introduced on the spot attentively: "Although it is not as good as the collection of Feilong Six Stables in the Forbidden Garden, or the Liangzhou Guzang Dama in the Priest Garden in Hexi: it is also one of the best horses in the world. It is the seed of the horse. When it was still a young foal, it was presented to the imperial court by the Guzang Li family, and a batch was given to the family. It can be called the most gentle choice among them..."

Jiang Tian understood immediately after hearing this.Thanks to the legacy of the previous traveler, the Kunlun Sea was extended to the south and the Mediterranean Sea was to the west; finally, the sea and the land met in Yecheng (Jerusalem), and the so-called Seven Seas Jinglue Mansion was established and a stele was erected; The moon shines all over, and they are all officials and concubines of the Han family".

As the birthplace of the century-old expropriation movement and the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty, the mainland of the Tang Dynasty has also been able to gather the essence of species from home and abroad, which naturally includes the continuous tribute and import of foreign vassal states and distant countries. , all over the world, covering the most extensive and complete range of horse breeds.

Therefore, after a century of peace and prosperity in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City not only has a relatively advanced, but also fully functional horse breeding industry and a series of supporting carriage manufacturing industries; And complicated, the pedigree of many good horses and famous horse breeds in ancient and modern China and abroad;

Among them, it can be roughly divided into draft horses (leading/carrying) and war horses (riding/sprinting) among military horses; racing horses (short-distance bursts), street horses (stable/endurance), and hunting horses (outing/hunting) among civilian horses. , Raw horses (drawing carts/farming) and so on in different environments and conditions.And this Shaluzi is one of them.

According to the introduction of many famous ducks, this purple robe is said to have originated from the breed of Longju Island in Xiaxihai (Qinghai Lake) in Qingtang Daduhufu (former Tibet and Qinghai area), and from the small (later) Persian kingdom. (Taibury area on the south coast of the Caspian Sea) is a relatively stable and excellent field hunting horse family crossed by imported Anxi horses.

Then, in addition to the needs of riding safari and transportation, he has been tamed according to the direction of his relatives since he was a child. Therefore, among the horse breeds with many specialties and uses, the comprehensive attributes are relatively moderate, and the affinity is high. varieties.For Jiang Tian's daily needs, it is also just right for what he likes.

After all, in this era, owning a good horse is the same as owning a luxury car in later generations. It not only facilitates the needs of travel, but also avoids unnecessary troubles.Especially at the turn of spring and summer, riding a horse is much more comfortable than riding a car.

"Since this is the case, I will not be disrespectful. However, you are so gracious to give a BMW and introduce the origin. I am afraid there is no follow-up?" Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help laughing and said:

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my husband. It will be the Cold Food Festival (Ching Ming Festival) in two days. I would like to ask my husband if he can take some time to go out with my house for a safari outside the city. Do you think it's refreshing?" Dada Ya grinned awkwardly. Scratching his head, he asked in a dry tone: "To be honest, my brother and sister have received a lot of kindness from my husband, and the elders in the family have long wanted to thank you face to face, and thought it would take some time to entertain them. It's just that my husband has never been free, so... ..."

In the Tang Dynasty, one hundred and five days after the winter solstice of the lunar calendar was the Cold Food Festival, and fire was banned for three days, and only cold food could be eaten, so it was also called "Cold Festival".The Qingming Festival is two days after the Cold Food Festival.Because the front and back are closely connected, people in Tang Dynasty often celebrate the two festivals together.During the festival, in addition to eating cold food at home to worship ancestors and visiting graves, many sports and fitness activities are also carried out to comfort the ancestors.

Such as Juju, swinging, cockfighting, hunting and so on.Therefore, the remaining two days of the Cold Food Festival in this era do not look at all like the "passers-by on the road who want to die" described in ancient poems. Instead, they are very festive and joyful. The lively meaning of hunting mountains and forests.

"Okay, then we will meet again in the future."

Jiang Tian agreed after thinking about it.To be honest, when he came to this world, he was constantly running around in various situations, and he really didn't have the opportunity to get out of this world's number one metropolis to see the outside world and its features.

"Later, I will ask someone to send over all the necessary items first, so that my husband can try his hand first."

Koda Duck secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and secretly wiped away the sweat that didn't exist.In this case, he has completed the double explanation and instructions of the elder sister and the old man in the family who called him over successively.

After all, the legend in the ghost city is too scary.Of course others see it as some kind of joke, but he has personally seen this No. 1 man in the world!Obviously, after this period of time, this hidden sword fairy who had just awakened for a long time was able to recover more supernatural powers and means.

Therefore, for the family behind him; this is also the first time to invite this reclusive expert to make a public appearance with the family, which is of great significance and key.Although he always wanted to embarrass or anger those old men, he couldn't ignore the safety of the whole family in this matter.

"By the way, sir, I have another news to tell you. Recently, the upper class people in the capital have strengthened their own guards; not only have they summoned experts from their hometowns and mansions; Swordsmen and the like have become very popular.”

Thinking of this, Koda Duck couldn't help but sternly said: "And the people in the family are starting to urge us juniors to pick up the skills of bow and horse shooting and hunting again."

"Is that so?" Jiang Tian was a little surprised when he heard the words:
"Excuse me, sir, is there any follow-up situation?" Da Keya hesitated for a while, and tried to speculate again:
"Maybe, not in the capital, but in other places, more similar things happened." Jiang Tian pondered for a moment, then slowly replied:
——I am the dividing line of the situation——

At the same time, thousands of miles away, the capital is rushing to Henan Province, near Baiyacang at the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain; a water transport terminal on the north bank of the Yellow River.The bustling wharf where the boats sailed and sailed like clouds, now there is only a ruined wall after the fire. Sergeants wearing bright armor and full-body armor and holding large shields searched the ruins one by one.

On the outskirts of the small port city spontaneously formed by the wharf, it was even more isolated by a piece of portable horse-rejecting piles connected in parallel with short spears, and a Dawson's cold and shiny wire block; In addition to the sergeants operating the winch and crossbow to maintain the blockade, there were also cavalry on patrol, constantly on guard.

And among those ruins extending all the way to the outer layers of barriers and barriers, apart from music and scattered old and new corpses and limbs, you can occasionally see a large or small group of asphalt tar. The remnants were quickly gathered by the sergeants, and the soil was removed and transported away.

And in a temporary military tent used by a large warehouse building; Zheng Jinwu, who has been transferred to a different place for promotion, complained loudly to the other local officials dressed in civilian clothes, blushing and thick-necked:

"I can't do this, the loss is too great, I can't just burn everything like this? Is it possible to burn every residence to nothing?"

"Not to mention the dead and injured and the people affected, this is an urgent and densely populated place. How long can the corresponding blockade and isolation last?"

"Afraid of panic and rumors among the people? Could it be that if we seal this place on the grounds of the epidemic, won't it cause panic and rumors? Those who survived will all be killed?"

Immediately, he turned his head around again, facing all his colleagues and subordinates unceremoniously, and shouted unceremoniously:
"I've already said that it's too difficult to deal with those monsters in your battle formation against people. It requires special equipment and training, as well as the cooperation of the formation."

"It's okay to besiege and kill those beasts that are huge and have limited intelligence, and they only act on instinct; those green-skinned ghosts have basic consciousness, know how to escape, hide and attack, and can even cooperate with fierce beasts."

"What are the nobles in Luoduli thinking? How many people will die, how many villages and market towns will be turned into ruins and dead places, before they are willing to change course?"

Immediately afterwards, he turned to the only middle official with a white face and beardless face, and said with an unshakable expression:

"Tanaka Gui, there are rumors now that Xijing has a powerful supernatural power who came to the world and suppressed the evildoers so that he dare not appear in the world easily; but what is going on here in Luodu?"

"As early as more than half a year ago, there were frequent news of wild beasts eating people outside the cities of the counties that all depended on the mountain. The local government actually covered it up layer by layer. They didn't report it until the incident happened in the capital?"

"During this period, I don't know how many civilians and common people were killed, and how many monsters and beasts were raised and bred? What's the use of just belittling and exiling a few parents and officials? Could it make the monsters walk away in fear of crime?"

"Right now, there are rumors of instability in Luodu City. If this situation continues to spread; let the world know that the two capitals, which are the heads of the country and the confidants, are not peaceful, what kind of troubles will arise."

At this time, the only Tanaka Takashi who was present was finally moved. He gently stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, and said in a soft voice: "In this case, it is good that the miscellaneous family is ordered to come here." A presumptuous question, since Zheng Zuolang has personally experienced the situation in Beijing, do you have any specific regulations for the current situation?"

"Of course, let someone who is good at this matter handle it specially;" Zheng Jinwu then slightly loosened his tense face and said: "In addition, re-build suitable equipment and protective equipment, and re-train a team of capable people, And equip enough chariots and horses to meet the needs of the emergency. At the same time, recruit brave and talented people in the city and the countryside to serve as follow-up masters."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help thinking of the person he had specially asked for advice; but he felt a little ashamed and regretful in his heart; it was a pity that Shangjing refused to let go.Otherwise, if you come later, you may be able to come up with more countermeasures and means.There is no need for him to repeat it again in a parrot.

At this time, there was another burst of exclamation from outside.The crowd headed by Zheng Jinwu couldn't help but also hurried out, and stood on a temporary observation deck formed by several carts.I saw a group of armored soldiers who had advanced to the edge of the Yellow River, and most of them were knocked down by the smoking figure that jumped out suddenly from the moored river boat.

However, amidst the exclamation, cursing, and painful cries of these shield-armored soldiers one after another.The next moment, the other team that had been waiting at the rear turned the shield in their hands without any pause.In an instant, the sunlight coming back from the concave part of the large shield transformed into a mirror was almost radiant, focusing on those smoking figures.

So, in the roar of these smoldering figures, pieces of body tissue fell off one after another as if their skin was scorched, and most of them turned into puddles within a short period of time. Dirty residue like tar; only a few fragments dragged their limbs with visible bones, and fled back to the mooring boat wailing.

Then, the rockets fired from the periphery, as well as the deflagration projected by the winch crossbow, also concentrated on the several moored tank boats.It was completely ignited immediately; it turned into a torch floating on the water with a faint howl of hammering.Seeing that all this is about to settle down, at this time the accident reappears.

As the sunlight in the sky was blocked by the passing clouds, from the shadow of some aquatic plants on the shore, several relatively thin figures suddenly leaped out again; without hesitation, they knocked over the large mirror shield After paying half the price of being hacked and killed on the spot, two of them fled along the edge into the shade of the trees.

And in the movement of these peripheral sergeants walking and turning around to catch up, whether it was Zheng Jinwu who had witnessed all this, or other officials and generals present; their expressions became particularly ugly.

　I'm so sick, I've been complaining about the segmented dialogue, I finally understand what's going on, it's all the fault of the automatic typesetting in the background.Canceled the blank line I deliberately left between different people's conversations, and directly connected them together, really drunk.
