Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 121 Shire
  The next day, Xue Tong took Jia Qiang to the horse gallery of Xue Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the horse gallery, Jia Qiang saw a group of tall Sharma horses.

There are twelve shire horses in this group, and there are more than 40 horses alone in the horse gallery of Xue Mansion, but the twelve shire horses are particularly eye-catching among them.

"The horse dealer Wu's family only has twelve shire horses. The rest of the shire horses died on the journey from the west to Daqian. Only these twelve shire horses survived!" Xue Tong explained.

"Thank you, Brother Xue!" Jia Qiang thanked with a smile.

He stepped forward to check one by one and found that the Shire horses were very docile.

"Why are they all mares and not a male horse?" Jia Qiang checked it over and discovered a problem.

"The Wu family said that the merchants that provide Shire horses only supply mares, and they are afraid that stallions will be used to breed Shire horses here!" Xue Tong replied helplessly.

This situation is extremely normal. Not only Western horse dealers, but also horses sold from the grassland to Daqian, try their best not to provide male horses. Even if they do, they will be treated to be infertile.

It is to prevent Daqian from breeding good horses in large numbers and increase Daqian's combat power.

Even if Daqian gets a small number of male horses, it will not be able to scale up, because the impact of inbreeding will be very large, greatly reducing the quality of the offspring.

"Brother Xue, help me buy a farm near Jinling that can raise horses, and then buy a large number of war horses!" Jia Qiang thought for a while and said.

He did not need to be polite when making requests to Xue Tong. The cooperation between the two parties brought a lot of benefits to the Xue family. Now the status of the Xue family in Jinling has improved a lot.

"I'll arrange for someone to do it right now, but the purchase of the war horse will take some time!" Xue Tong nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't know what Jia Qiang wanted to do with the war horse, who knew Jia Qiang had money? Just like buying a Shire horse, it was just a small hobby for Jia Qiang's wealth.

Most rich people have some hobbies, and Jia Qiang's hobby of raising horses is considered a good one.

Jia Qiang took Jia Jinguang, rode a white horse, and Jia Jinguang led a shire horse, and left Xue Mansion.

Walking on the street, Jia Jingang's height complemented Sharma's, and they were a perfect match.

Jia Qiang found a deserted and dilapidated courtyard in Jinling City. Only ruins were left here, but the courtyard walls were still intact.

Entering the courtyard, Jia Jingang led Sharma and followed him in.

He came to Sharma's side and put Sharma into the inventory with a slight thought.

There was no need to go to such trouble, but the problem was that he didn't want to collect Sharma in Xue Mansion. That would be too appalling.

After discovering that the Sharma horse could be put into the inventory and turned into a horse card, his worries disappeared.

In the past, to collect horses, at least they needed to be war horses. After the war horses were collected into the inventory, a horse card was formed.

A horse that is even worse will not be recognized by the game board.

According to Jia Qiang's guess, this should be because the war horse surpassed ordinary horses in a certain aspect, and it reached the mortal standard recognized by the game board.

There is one thing about the Sharma horse that is far superior to ordinary horses, and that is in terms of strength. The Sharma horse can pull five tons of objects.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, the Sharma turned into a horse card after being put into the inventory.

'Sharma Card [Ordinary Grade 3]', this is a new type of horse card. Compared with the war horse horse card, it has the name 'Sharma' added to it.

The Shire horse selected by Jia Qiang is the most ordinary of the twelve Shire horses. He did not specifically choose the strongest one, but it was directly rated as a third-level mortal by the game panel.

I just don’t know whether the game board thinks that the power of the Sharma horse has reached the third level of mortal level, or whether the Sharma horse itself is stronger than the ordinary Sharma horse.

It is possible to say that this Shire horse or the twelve Shire horses in the mansion are particularly strong Shire horses. During the journey from the west to Daqian, the weak Shire horses fell down halfway.

Jia Qiang took the 'Horse Brand [High Quality Third Level]' from the equipment slot and placed it in the inventory, and then placed the 'Horse Brand [High Quality Third Level]' into the 'Sharma Brand [Ordinary Quality Third Level]' superior.

He got a prompt from the game panel and asked whether to choose fusion.

He did not really intend to fuse, but wanted to see if the horse tiles and the sharma tiles could be fused. In this way, he confirmed his idea.

Next, it depends on when Xue Tong can buy war horses for him. After he has a large number of war horses, he can strengthen the 'Sharma Card [Ordinary Grade 3]'.

Jia Qiang equipped the 'Sharma Card [Ordinary Grade 3]' to Jia Jinguang's equipment slot. As he issued the order, Jia Jinguang mounted the Sharma horse.

"We still need a set of horse gear, and the weight of the Sharma horse is enough. We need to build a horse armor for the Sharma horse!" Jia Qiang thought to herself.

He would not do these things himself, and would have to trouble Xue Tong.

He was riding a white horse, and Jia Jingang was riding a shire horse. Although there was no harness, Jia Jingang's strength was still very stable.

On the way back to Xue Mansion, he took a detour and passed in front of Zhen's house.

Seeing the sign 'Zhen's Mansion, President of Jinling Provincial Tiren Academy' hanging in front of the Zhen family's house, Jia Qiang's eyes flashed with a stern expression.

He would not do anything openly. He came here just to recognize the door. He was really not familiar with Jinling. Even if he came here during the day, he could only get there after asking for directions.

A steward just happened to walk out of the gate of Zhen's Mansion. The steward caught sight of Jia Qiang and Jia Jingang, who was riding a Sharma horse behind Jia Qiang. The steward's face tightened and he turned around and returned to the mansion.

This manager is Manager Liu, who belongs to the third master of Zhen Mansion.

Manager Liu was in charge of Jia Qiang's affairs, and he had seen Jia Qiang's portrait. According to intelligence, there was a two-meter-tall guard beside Jia Qiang. How could he admit his mistake with such obvious features?

"Third Master, trouble is coming!" He ran to Zhen Yingcheng and shouted repeatedly.

"What's the rush?" Zhen Yingcheng was drinking tea when he heard Manager Liu's voice and scolded him with a frown.

"Third Master, I just saw Jia Qiang!" Manager Liu explained hurriedly.

"Jia Qiang? Where is he? Is he still alive?" Zhen Yingcheng stood up suddenly, not even caring about the tea cup in his hand being spilled.

He was still waiting for news. Manager Liu was just about to go out to find out the news.

Manager Liu was so panicked when he saw Jia Qiang alive, and he knew how terrifying Jia Qiang was.

"Jia Qiang just passed by the house, and I happened to see him when I was about to leave the mountain gate!" Manager Liu replied.

"Who are you looking for? He's not the best water ghost in the south of the Yangtze River. How could you miss him?" Zhen Yingcheng asked with an ugly face.

If Jia Qiang is safe, then he will worry about his own safety. Who is Jia Qiang? He is someone who can kill General Zheng head-on and kill a warrior-level archer.

"Third Master, will Jia Qiang come to kill you?" Manager Liu asked worriedly.

"This is Jinling, does he want to rebel?" Zhen Yingcheng was afraid, but he still said it.

In fact, what he said was right. In a special city like Jinling, attacking the Zhen Mansion would almost certainly be a death penalty.

Of course, Zhen Yingcheng is worried that Jia Qiang will go crazy. With Jia Qiang's strength, there is no master in Zhen's mansion who can match him. If Jia Qiang really wants to break into the mansion, no one can resist him.

Even if Jia Qiang was convicted by Da Gan afterwards, it was only after the Zhen Mansion was attacked and killed.

"Go and find out where Jia Qiang lives?" Zhen Yingcheng thought for a while and ordered.

"Young man, go right now!" Manager Liu replied.

Jia Qiang didn't know that just showing her face made Zhen Yingcheng so nervous.

He had returned to Xue Mansion at this time, and found Xue Tong and expressed his request.

Xue Mansion's power in Jinling is not small, but it only has special horse gear and a set of horse armor.

Jia Qiang returned to his yard, and the Xue Mansion arranged for a little girl to serve him. The other servants were not arranged in the yard, but would come to do things when needed.

This was done to give him a quiet study environment. Xue Tong didn't even ask him to see a doctor for Xue Baochai. If the matter in Xue's house affected Jia Qiang's study, if he didn't do well in the exam, Xue Tong would be worried about his family. Will be hated by Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang called the housekeeper of Xue Mansion and asked him to send someone to deliver two greeting cards. He planned to visit two friends of his teacher Lin Ruhai tomorrow.

As for the gifts, he had prepared them when he was in Yangzhou.

In addition, he also asked Xue Pan for a map of Zhen Mansion. The reason why he asked Xue Pan was because during his chat with Xue Pan, Xue Pan mentioned that he had friends in Zhen Mansion.

Xue Pan didn't know what Jia Qiang wanted the map of Zhen Mansion for. This was a simple matter. Perhaps it was extremely difficult to ask people at the bottom about the layout of Zhen Mansion, but at the level of the Xue family, especially With Xue Pan, a stupid overlord who is good at spending money, it shouldn't be too easy to get the map of Zhen Mansion.

Jia Qiang attended the welcome banquet held by Xue Tong in the evening, and then returned to the courtyard.

In the evening, he changed into night clothes and did not take Jia Jinguang with him. He left him in the yard and guarded the study in case anyone came over.

The wall of Xue Mansion was ignored by Jia Qiang. He just stepped on the wall halfway and used some strength to climb over the wall.

The speed is 74 meters per second, and it is night again. Even if there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, the figure of 74 meters per second cannot be clearly seen.

He quickly arrived outside Zhen's Mansion, walked around Zhen's Mansion, and found Zhen Yingcheng's residence on the map.

He turned over and climbed onto the wall. The wall of Zhen Mansion was more than five meters long, but it still couldn't stop him.

Standing on the wall, he could clearly see the situation in the area in front of him.

First of all, there are guards patrolling the outside of Zhen's Mansion from time to time, and the guards also bring dogs. If someone really sneaks into Zhen's Mansion, they will definitely be discovered as time goes by.

Dogs are extremely sensitive to smells. If a strange smell appears at night, the dog will call the police.

Jia Qiang had no intention of entering Zhen's mansion, he just needed to find Zhen Yingcheng's figure.

"Jia Qiang has moved into the Xue Mansion. I will send a message to Xue Tong tomorrow, telling him that Jia Qiang is an enemy of our Zhen family. If he dares to take Jia Qiang in, he will be enmity with the Zhen family!" Zhen Yingcheng was listening to Manager Liu's report. When he heard that Jia Qiang was staying in Xue Mansion, he was furious.

The Xue family and the Zhen family were also very close families in Jinling. Zhen Yingcheng felt that the Xue family was stabbing him in the back.

"Third Master, the Xue family is not easy to tamper with. The relationship between the Xue family, the Wang family and the Jia family is very good. Once you do anything, you will offend all the relatives!" Manager Liu was still sober, so he quickly reminded him. .

The wife of the Xue family is from the Wang family, and the second wife of the Jia family is also from the Wang family. The three families have been related for several lifetimes, just like the relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family. If the Zhen family really wants to deal with the Xue family, I am afraid that many relatives will be killed. Relationship troubles.

The most important thing is that Zhen Yingcheng cannot represent the Zhen family. The eldest man is in charge of the Zhen family, and there is also the old concubine above him.

As the third master, Zhen Yingcheng's power was greatly reduced due to the incident involving General Zheng. With his personal abilities, he was unable to deal with the Xue family.

"First send a post in the name of the Zhen family. Only when Jia Qiang leaves the Xue Mansion can I arrange for someone to take action against Jia Qiang!" Zhen Yingcheng waved his hand and insisted.

"Yes, Third Master!" Manager Liu responded helplessly.

"You go find some lowlifes. No matter how much money you spend, once Jia Qiang leaves the Xue Mansion, you will attack Jia Qiang!" Zhen Yingcheng then ordered.

"I'm afraid it won't hurt Jia Qiang!" Manager Liu reminded.

With Jia Qiang's strength, how could ordinary low-level methods hurt Jia Qiang.

"I didn't want the Jia Qiang to be hurt by the Jia Qiang. Doesn't he have to take an exam? I'll pay for it. Since Xia Jiu Liu's life isn't worth much money, I'll just use the Xia Jiu Liu to disgust him!" Zhen Yingcheng said with a sneer.

Manager Liu felt a chill in his body. Xia Jiuliu's life was indeed worthless, but if he really died too many times, Xia Jiuliu would not go to the third master of the Zhen family, but he, the person in charge, was probably not safe.

He is not Jia Qiang. He has strong strength in his own right. Even if he takes advantage of the Zhen family's influence, it will be difficult for him to prevent low-level revenge.

Every profession has its own rules, and those who break them will be punished.

"Yes, Third Master!" Manager Liu could not object to Zhen Yingcheng and could only respond.

He stepped back, and when he reached the door, he turned around and opened it.

Just when Manager Liu opened the door, Jia Qiang, who was hiding high on the wall, saw Manager Liu and Zhen Yingcheng in the room.

Zhen Yingcheng was imagining how to take revenge on Jia Qiang, and his expression was a little ferocious.

Jia Qiang's eyesight was excellent. After confirming Zhen Yingcheng's identity, he had an extra talisman in his hand.

He has never publicly used the 'Soul Talisman [Elementary]' outside, and he has the idea of ​​using the 'Soul Talisman [Elementary]' as an assassination method.

The attack distance of the 'Soul Taoist Talisman [Elementary]' is three hundred steps, and combined with the 'Spiritual War Technique [Advanced]', the 'Soul Taoist Talisman [Elementary]' is almost impossible to dodge.

The only way to resist the 'Soul Taoist Talisman [Elementary]' is to use items to block the attack of 'Soul Taoist Talisman [Elementary]', but the problem is that the attack of 'Soul Taoist Talisman [Elementary]' is a magic attack, and in the ordinary world, people and objects None have magic defense capabilities.

Therefore, the 'Soul Talisman [Elementary]' is an attack on another level for mortals.
