Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 180 Pure-minded Jade Pangan
Early the next morning, just after dawn, Hu Sanniang placed a lot of food in the yard.

Soon people came one after another, first Wu Song and Le He walked slowly from the house outside the village, and then came Taigong Hu.

Hu Taigong also got up early in the morning to catch up with the dark sky. He was an old man who didn't sleep much at first, but he was already full of energy when he came.

Apparently he had already thought about a lot of things when he woke up. At this time, he had a lot to say to Sun Xin. After arriving in the yard, he took Sun Xin aside and explained many small things. Be careful on the way. What, where to eat and drink, don't forget to bring something and so on.

Sun Xin nodded again and again, thinking in his heart that although Taigong Hu is a hero, it is inevitable that he will be a bit wordy at his age, but so many detailed instructions also show that he really treats himself as half a son.

Sun Xin greeted everyone to eat and drink, and after snoring, they all got on their horses and rode all the way while taking advantage of the cold time when the sun had not yet fully risen.

By the time they passed Terengganu, the sun was already high.

The weather at the end of August is hot even if you stay at home, but on the road at this time, even though you are riding a fast horse, the wind blowing in front of you is like steam gushing out of a steamer. Sweat came down my face.

When the horse was running, the whole body was emitting heat, and after a while Sun Xin felt that his legs with the horse's belly were covered with sweat from the horse's lying down.

He saw that the farmers before and after all rolled up their trousers, let go of their stirrups and ran wildly.

In fact, after the riding skills are well practiced, the body can adjust its posture according to the degree of the horse's shaking, and it is not necessary to put the feet on the stirrups all the time. If you compete hard, you will be exhausted after a day of riding.

Like everyone else, Sun Xin spread his legs and rolled up his trousers, finally feeling the coolness of the wind blowing through his trousers.

A few people around him quickly dressed up in the same way, and even Taigong Hu rolled up his trouser legs to ride.

Not to mention, Hu Taigong's horse riding movements among this group of people are just a little less familiar than Wu Song's, and his proficiency is better than Sun Xin's. If it wasn't for his poor health and he didn't dare to kick fast, he might be able to rush to the front.

At this time, Sun Xin heard the sound of ouch from behind, and when he turned his head, he saw that Lehe's turban on the horse had fallen off.

Seeing Sun Xin looking over, Le He smiled a little embarrassedly, holding the turban with one hand, and controlling the reins with the other. At the same time, he wanted to imitate everyone's posture and roll up his trouser legs, but his riding skills are really difficult to master. The horse's movement made the horse unhappy, so it started to turn around and hop around. Le He hugged the horse's neck and was extremely nervous.

At this time, it was not far from Huang County. Sun Xin saw that he was uncomfortable, so he smiled and asked everyone to slow down and ride slowly.

After eating in the morning, he started galloping on horseback, and now he was shaking all kinds of meat and vegetables, just in time to take a rest.

Slowly riding through a forest, the dense forest blocked the sun, and finally felt a little bit of shade, the breeze was blowing slowly, and everyone riding on the horse felt that the backs of their clothes, which had been soaked with sweat just now, were cold It's very comfortable when the cool wind blows.

When they arrived at the agreed place, the sun had not yet reached the mid-heaven. Wu Song first took a farmer to ride there, and soon brought back a minion from Yinmachuan.

"The appointment is in the woods ahead."

Sun Xin dismounted with Hu Taigong, and they walked into the forest on foot, with a few farmer's personal protection, all of them took pepper bottles, for fear that something might happen.

When they arrived in the forest, they saw that there was no one waiting in the forest.

That guy said with a smile: "Our village master is afraid that there will be an ambush. So please wait for a while, he will come from the front in a short time."

This is also what it should mean, and several people sat down.

Hu Taigong said: "Leave that horse and let us have a look."

That guy's attitude is good: "All the horses brought from Yinmachuan are such good horses. If you want to see them, you can keep this horse."

The two minions gave up a horse, so they rode back on the same horse.

Hu Taigong walked up, looked at the horse carefully, opened his mouth to look at the teeth, and pinched the horse's muscles. After studying for a long time, he turned around and said to Sun Xin: "It's a good horse. This kind of horse is long and cannot be raised. Out of fat to charge the battle, but the advantage is that it is fast and light, it should be used as a horse for nobles to hunt, and it just happens to be the kind of light cavalry you want in your village."

Sun Xin knew that Taigong Hu would not talk nonsense, since he said it was good, there would be no problem, so he nodded and said, "I can rest assured that way."

Everyone came here on horseback, and they had almost digested the soup and water they had eaten in the morning. Seeing that the people who drank the Machuan hadn't come yet, Sun Xin asked the farmer to bring out some dry food and white meat, and the farmer took some A copper pot was brought out to make tea, and several people sat down to wait and rest.

After waiting for a stick of incense, a short, thick, white-faced man came riding a horse from a distance.

Don't ask the short and strong man, it should be Meng Kang.

The two of them exchanged glances, both looking at this Meng Kang character.

Most of the time, people's appearance and behavior can tell the details of a person's identity. There is no complicated metaphysics in this kind of thing, but it is just the experience that people gradually accumulate as their social experience increases.

Sun Xin and Hu Taigong are naturally not bad at this point.

Meng Kang introduced himself, with a smile on his face, and a dull look in his eyes, and he knew at first sight that he was a person with relatively serious ideas.

Both of them were a little strange, could it be that they sent the third leader to lead the conversation?

Unable to understand the meaning of the other party, Hu Taigong first went up and said a set of words to test the background of the third master. After a trial, he was sure that this Meng Kang was not a delicate person with a low tone and a dull voice. old mechanic.

Sun Xin was puzzled: If this person is sent to talk, why not talk to Deng Fei directly.

But the person in front of him is now in charge, so Sun Xin can only say what he wants to buy a horse.

When Meng Kang heard this, he said directly: "When you want to buy a horse, you will deliver it in this forest. After you take the money, I will ask someone to drive the horse over."

The sound of horses can already be heard here, obviously the place where they keep their horses is not too far away, Sun Xin hurriedly said: "You two masters, as I said before, it is not just for buying horses, you brothers on Yinma River need to find a place to stay Where it is, my Zhuangzi is also willing to accept it."

"I see. I will go back and report to my brother."

Come on, this guy has no intention of negotiating at all, he just came here to collect money and sell the goods.

Since there was nothing to talk about, Sun Xin had no choice but to negotiate with the other party about the delivery of the money, and Lehe paid for it. After a while, a few minions ran out from all over the forest, followed by a large group of horses At that time, Sun Xin had picked out a few dealers who were good at driving horses in Sunjiazhuang, and quickly went up to control the scene, whistling and leading a large group of horses to follow his lead horse slowly.

The horses left here, and Sun Xin looked back at Meng Kang riding his horse into the forest, and couldn't help asking Hu Taigong: "What does this man mean?"

Hu Taigong thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: "You said you wanted to test him, but now they want to test you?"

"Can't you?"

"Oh, that's probably the case. Don't wait any longer. He will come out and talk to you if he likes you. It's useless to wait when he doesn't like you."

Seeing Sun Xin's deflated face, Taigong Hu couldn't help laughing, his son-in-law always seemed so shrewd, and he had never seen him like this before, but it's interesting to see him now.

Hu Taigong laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to deal with this iron face."
