Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 27 Historians
  At the racecourse of the Imperial College, Jia Qiang gave him eight taels of silver. From now on, as long as he goes to school, he can leave Xiao Hei at the racecourse and have someone to take care of him.

"This is the war horse you bought. It doesn't look good!" Lang Li'an pointed out.

During class, he and Li Hongkang learned that Jia Qiang had bought a war horse, so they went to the racecourse together during lunch break.

"Ride first, this is already the best war horse in Luoma Street!" Jia Qiang said helplessly, spreading her hands.

"You don't know how to ride a horse yet? I'll teach you!" Li Hongkang was not interested in horses, but he was very excited about teaching people.

"Yes, although I studied literature, I started riding horses at the age of eight!" Lang Li'an said proudly.

After these days in the Imperial College, they still have no new friends. There are fifty students in this grade, and the other students are much older than them, and they are not willing to join them.

This also brought them closer and closer, and the three of them were almost inseparable in the Imperial College.

The names between them have also changed. In terms of age, Li Hongkang is the eldest, Lang Li'an is in the middle, and Jia Qiang is the youngest.

"Can you guys do it?" Jia Qiang asked with some uncertainty.

His question made Li Hongkang and Lang Li'an both straighten up, looking like they were looking down on someone.

You can't blame Jia Qiang for not believing it. None of the three are 1.5 meters tall. Their twelve-year-old bodies put them at an awkward age. They are more mature than children, and they are already scholars.

But compared to other supervisors in the Imperial College, they were treated as children because of their height.

Xiaohei is a war horse. If you have not practiced martial arts, it will be difficult for them to mount the horse simply due to their height.

In fact, neither Li Hongkang nor Lang Li'an were riding war horses, but extremely docile little mares that were selected.

Even when you get on the horse, you have to be helped up by the servant. The so-called horse riding means that you can break away from the servant and control the reins alone.

"Brother Qiang, the toes of your feet should be placed here on the pedals. Please tighten the reins, Xiao Hei is going to be angry!"

"Brother Qiang, please keep your body straight, you look so ugly!"

Li Hongkang and Lang Li'an were shouting and screaming, and they didn't know whether it was right or wrong. Anyway, they were directing Jia Qiang like masters.

Unfortunately, Jia Qiang didn't let them play for long. Xiao Hei was very obedient. After Jia Qiang got on the saddle, Jia Qiang gently shook the reins, took four hooves and started jogging.

This made Li Hongkang and Lang Li'an feel bored and looked at Jia Qiang's riding movements with disappointment.

"Brother Qiang's movements are too awkward. He must not have followed my instructions!" Li Hongkang shook his head and said.

"Yes, Xiao Hei is too obedient. If he changes to a war horse, Brother Qiang will laugh at him!" Lang Li'an followed.

Jia Qiang was thinking about the content about riding skills in the "Book of Acting on Military Affairs". He gradually followed the movements of the horse, and his body rose and fell with the ups and downs of the horse's body.

Xiao Hei felt his cooperation and his speed became faster and faster.

He truly felt the feeling of oneness between man and horse. Of course, he was still far from the real oneness between man and horse.

But all kinds of knowledge about the coordination of war horses arose in his mind, allowing him to gain more mastery of riding skills every time he rode a certain distance.

"Hey!" Jia Qiang controlled Xiao Hei and stopped in front of his two friends.

He jumped off the horse. Although the height was a bit high, he did it very easily.

"Brother Qiang, your horse riding talent has almost caught up with mine!" Li Hongkang said with a smile.

"When we have the chance, let's ride horses and have fun together!" Lang Li'an followed suit.

His suggestion gave Jia Qiang a flash of inspiration. With Xiao Hei as a war horse, it would be better to go to the suburbs to practice big guns after school every day.

In this way, you can practice horseback riding on the road, and there will be a wider space available in the countryside.

--------

Outside the Baolinghou Mansion, a carriage stopped and a person was thrown from it.

The gatekeeper of Baoling Hou Mansion recognized the man who was thrown away at a glance as Shi Yong. The gatekeeper was so frightened that he quickly reported the situation, but did not pay attention to the carriage.

To be able to be a disciple of the Marquis, you must learn some knowledge. This disciple can recognize the clan mark on the carriage at a glance.

"Master, master, something bad is going to happen!" Menzi ran all the way, shouting repeatedly. "What happened?" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai walked out with a frown, waved his hand to stop the butler's prepared scolding, and asked in a deep voice.

He knew of course that the disciples would not take aim without aim, so he must be so anxious that something big must have happened.

"Shi Yong was thrown from the clan carriage outside and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!" Menzi replied with a relieved breath.

"What!" Bowling Hou Shi Nai swayed and almost stopped.

The steward on the side quickly stretched out his hand to help the bowling Hou Shi Nai from falling.

"Go to the gate quickly!" Bowling Hou Shi Nai waved his hand and walked quickly towards the gate without caring about anything else.

The Baolinghou Mansion looks beautiful, but in fact it is full of dangers. What clan does he want to know most now, and why did the incident happen?

When Baolinghou Shi Nai came to the gate, the carriage had already left, and only Shi Yong saw a bright yellow greeting card on his body. This was a greeting card that could only be used by the clan.

"How is Shi Yong?" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai asked aloud when he saw the housekeeper coming to check on Shi Yong.

He was not concerned about Shi Yong's life or death, but wanted to know why Shi Yong was sent back by the clan's carriage?

"Shi Yong was crippled. It was an expert who took action and cut off all the meridians in his body!" the butler replied sadly.

Shi Yong is an old man from the Baolinghou Mansion, and now this fate makes him feel uncomfortable.

The Baolinghou Mansion is not like the Jia Mansion. Due to financial constraints, the number of servants is far less than that of the Jia Mansion. They only maintain the dignity of the Marquis Mansion.

In particular, there are very few elderly people in Baolinghou Mansion, and their feelings for each other are naturally deep.

"Can you speak?" Bowling Hou Shi Nai asked in a deep voice.

"He passed out and won't be able to reply for a short time!" the housekeeper shook his head and replied.

"Call Tianqing over here!" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai ordered angrily even though he didn't know what happened, but Shi Yong was following Shi Tianqing.

Not long after, Shi Tianqing came to the main room, and he saw Shi Yong slumped on the ground like a corpse.

At this moment, he thought of Jia Qiang again, and the look that made him tremble.

"You are such an evil obstacle, you might as well have brought it upon yourself!" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai looked at Shi Tianqing's appearance and wondered why Shi Tianqing knew what was going on. He roared angrily.

When it comes to the safety of Baolinghou Mansion, he will not be soft-hearted. If he really wants to give up on Shi Tianqing, he will not hesitate.

At this time, he looked at Shi Tianqing with eyes full of disgust.

"Master, Shi Yong was injured by Jia Qiang. That day I went to Qingfeng Tower and found that Qingfeng Tower had mastered a secret recipe for improving freshness. I thought of the livelihood in the mansion, so I thought that Qingfeng Tower was once the property of Shi's mansion, so I asked Qingfeng Tower I asked for the secret recipe, but I didn't expect to meet Jia Qiang. Shi Yong was injured by Jia Qiang!" Shi Tianqing did not dare to hide it, so he told the general story.

"Are you talking about Jia Qiang, the Jia Qiang who was expelled from the Ningguo Mansion?" Baoling Hou Shi Nai paid attention to what happened in the Jia Mansion, so he knew that Jia Qiang was expelled from the Jia Mansion.

"It's Jia Qiang!" Shi Tianqing nodded affirmatively.

Although he did not dare to go to Qingfeng Tower to cause trouble again, he still found out through his connections that it was Jia Qiang who was in Qingfeng Tower that day.

"Nonsense, Jia Qiang is only twelve years old, how could she hurt Shi Yong!" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai took the ruler from the table next to him and swiped it at Shi Tianqing without thinking, while saying angrily.

"What the boy said is true. Jia Qiang just stretched out her hand and threw Shi Yong away!" Shi Tianqing screamed, holding his head.

"Then how did Shi Yong fall into the hands of the clan?" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai knew that his second son would not lie about such things, so he stopped the ruler in his hand and asked.

"What clan? I haven't met anyone from the clan!" Shi Tianqing said with a blank look on his face.

Seeing Bowling Marquis Shi Nai tightening the ruler in his hand, Shi Tianqing's brain started to work crazily.

"By the way, there were two people beside Jia Qiang that day. One was the young master of Langhou Mansion, and the other one I don't know!" He said everything he could say and looked at Baolinghou Shi Nai timidly. , indicating that there is nothing more to say.

"Come here, lock this evil obstacle in the yard. He can't come out without my order. If he dares to take even half a step, his legs will be broken!" Bowling Marquis Shi Nai waved his hand and ordered.

He had now guessed that the unknown young master mentioned by Shi Tianqing should be a member of the clan, but he didn't know his identity, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
