At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 224
The torrential rain came in a hurry, but it went in no hurry. It was intermittent, big and small, and it lasted until the second watch. The street outside the inn had long been flooded with water. The waterfall poured down and made a noise, but in this quieter night, it seemed even quieter.

Gao Bufan was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, listening to the sound of the rain outside, while thinking about Lu Sanlang's intentions.

Where is Yuyi Town?Gao Bufan didn't know anything about it, but one thing is certain is that this place is definitely not easy to control, otherwise the local officials would not let it go, even the imperial court would ignore it and hand it over to the Xi people, and Lu Sanlang knew this The place is difficult, but you still have to "introduce" yourself. Is there any ulterior purpose in this?
Fan Yang is the Baoding area of ​​later generations. The entire Zhuo County is under the sphere of influence of the Lu family in Fanyang. The Lu family almost controls the people's livelihood here. Opening a horse farm will affect the interests of the Lu family, so he deliberately revealed to himself the Yuyi Town in the north of Zhuojun County, so that he could go to that corner to raise horses, so as not to compete with the Lu family for profit?
This speculation is entirely possible. There is a well-known saying that there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. What's more, I and Lu Sanlang only met a few times and had two meals. In Shenzhen Jiaotong University, even the word "friend" must be put in quotation marks.

Lu Sanlang represents Fan Yang Lu's interests. His words, deeds, and actions are all serving the interests of Fan Yang Lu's interests, and the purpose of this move must be the same.

When Gao Bufan thought about it, his thoughts gradually became clear. Lu Sanlang introduced Yuyi Town, a difficult bone, to himself. The first possibility was to prevent himself from competing with Fan Yang and the Lu family, and the second possibility should be a kind of Probe, or test, if he succeeds, Fan Yang and Lu will definitely strengthen cooperation with him in the future, otherwise, they will make a general relationship. If he harms Lu's interests in the future, the other party may step on it without hesitation. kick.

But no matter what Lu Sanlang's ultimate intention is, Gao Bufan is determined to go to the field to investigate. If it is true as Lu Sanlang said, Yuyi Town is indeed a good place for raising horses, then he will try his best to get it done.

Gao Bufan was thinking, but there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, although the rain was noisy, but with his extraordinary hearing, he still caught it instantly, and said in a conflicted mood: "Come in, the door is unlocked!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the door of the room was pushed open, and a slender figure flashed in. With the reflection of the rain outside, it was faintly visible that it was Dou Xianniang, and Gao Bufan could tell who it was from the sound of footsteps.

Dou Xianniang was only wearing a thin underwear, her long hair was hanging on her fragrant shoulders, her face was blushing, she was holding a pillow in her arms, she pursed her small water chestnut mouth, and said coyly: "Gao Brother, I can't sleep, the sound of the rain is too loud."

Gao Bufan smiled wryly to himself, moved into the bed and said: "Come on, let's squeeze."

Dou Xianniang immediately smiled, hugged the pillow and went to bed, lay down beside Gao Bufan, and squeezed into the latter's arms with ease.Gao Bufan secretly sighed, warm and soft jade in his arms, tonight he can't escape the end of insomnia,
Gao Bufan hugged the tender body of the young girl, sniffed the fragrance of the girl's hair, and while listening to the sound of the drizzling rain outside, he surprisingly didn't have any desire to think about it. The two embraced each other quietly and fell asleep. It was dawn.

I don't know when the rain stopped. The morning sun shines through the window paper, shining brightly. Dou Xianniang's pretty red is flushing, delicate and lovely, just like crabapple flowers after the rain.

Just as Gao Bufan was admiring the appearance of Begonia sleeping next to the pillow, Dou Xianniang woke up, and the two looked at each other, trembling slightly in their hearts. Sending out a silent invitation.

If Gao Bufan could bear it, he would really be worse than a beast, he leaned over and leaned over...

On this day, Young Master Gao, who was used to getting up early, made an exception. He didn't get up until three poles in the morning. Gao Shou and Gao Ren were also very sensible. After finishing breakfast by themselves, they wandered around the street to watch for any suspicious people watching nearby.

It wasn't until almost noon that Gao Dashao woke up calmly and went to fetch hot water in person. Gao Shou and Gao Ren winked, and after they were full, they thoughtfully delivered the food to the door of Gao Bufan's room , and then slipped away wisely, so as not to be an eyesore.

Three days later, Gao Bufan found Yu Wenhuaji, carefully selected 650 or [-] horses from the thousands of captured horses, and then walked away with the horses without even saying thank you.Yu Wenhuaji's face was gloomy, and he was extremely upset, but there was nothing he could do, this was a gift from the emperor to Gao Bufan, how could he dare to stop it?
It is said that Lu Sanlang is really safe and fast in handling affairs, three days is three days, everything is ready, Gao Bufan doesn't care about anything after handing over these horses to him, and when Lu Sanlang learns that Gao Bufan is going to take them with him The two hundred war horses returned to Qinghe County and returned to Cui Shi, and he specially sent thirty servants to help drive the horses. Of course, Gao Bufan paid all the food and lodging along the way.

This day happened to be the first day of June. Gao Bufan left Ji County with Dou Xianniang and Gao Shou Gaoren, and went south to Bohai County. Thirty servants sent by Lu Sanlang helped drive two hundred horses. War horses, a group of horses marched mightily on the official road.

As soon as she left the city, Dou Xianniang was like a lark out of its cage, riding a horse back and forth, chirping, extremely happy.This little girl is still so lively and active, her body that has been moisturized by someone is obviously more convex, and her appearance is even more charming and charming.

Probably because she felt that the two of them would be separated when they returned to Yin County, so Dou Xianniang acted very resolutely and decisively that morning. Master Gao wanted to rein in the precipice, but this little girl turned her back on the customer. It doesn't work either.

Last year when Gao Bufan drove his horse northward, it happened to be golden autumn, but now it is midsummer, the official road is still the same, but the scenery is different. The most intuitive change is that there are more thieves. In the vicinity of Hejian County, only halfway there, there were more than a dozen groups of thieves who robbed the road. Fortunately, they were all small groups of thieves, and Gao Bufan easily dealt with them.

Obviously, the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and thieves are everywhere!
On this day, Gao Bufan and the others finally entered the territory of Qinghe County. They were passing through a forest by the river when suddenly a loud arrow shot out from the forest. Hundreds of people instantly surrounded Gao Bufan and the others.

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass from now on, you can save money to buy roads!" With a loud shout, a bandit leader came out of the crowd.
