One Thought Feixian

Chapter 331 Invitation from the City Lord

The dragon blood horse, the emperor's mount, the king of horses, is a priceless treasure that cannot be bought with money, even if Qian Ma Tang can get it, he can't afford it.

Moreover, in today's world, only members of the royal family are eligible to ride a dragon blood horse. If ordinary people ride a horse, it is a kind of blasphemy and a crime.

When Gu Heng mentioned the Dragon Blood Horse, he just wanted to test the depth of the Thousand Horse Hall.

Sure enough, this Thousand Horse Hall lived up to its reputation. It seemed that even the dragon blood horse could be obtained. It was very likely that it belonged to a certain prince of the Central Dynasty, with a strong background and strong influence.

"What? You want to buy so many horses?"

As soon as Gu Heng's words came out, everyone was shocked immediately, and the grooms were startled immediately, and couldn't help shouting.

They thought that Gu Heng was a son of a wealthy family and came here just to buy a good horse for himself, but they never thought that he would actually want to buy hundreds of horses, which is a big deal.

"Young master, please sit in the VIP room. We need to report this matter."

With hundreds of horses, they were still unable to decide on such a big deal in their identities, so they first invited Gu Heng, Meng Chang, Liang Huaji, Zhuo Yu, and others to the VIP room, while Zhao Datou and others stayed behind. Stand by outside.

The VIP room of the Qianma Hall is extremely spacious and luxurious, and it is decorated with great care and magnificence. In the very center, there is actually a huge incense burner, which exudes a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

This is sandalwood, a very precious spice, which has the effect of activating the essence and blood, calming the mind and calming the mind.

A few people looked at the VIP room carefully, so Gu Heng sat down on the chair, and the rest of the people stood behind him without speaking, lest the wall has ears and leak the secret. Served tea, and some fresh fruit.

This kind of treatment is very satisfying and impeccable.

In less than a moment, the door of the room opened suddenly, and then a middle-aged man in a brocade suit with a square face walked in. His breath was deep and unfathomable. strength.

As soon as he walked in, he cast his eyes on several people, and finally landed on Gu Heng: "I am the steward of Qianma Hall, Tan Feng, this young master, what should I call him?"

"It turned out to be Guanshi Tan. My son's name is Gu Heng. I came to Qianma Hall this time to buy five hundred good horses. I wonder if it is possible?"

Gu Heng opened his mouth and said, his tone was indifferent, neither flattering nor arrogant, making people uncertain about his origin.

He has already seen that this person is a master in the realm of reborn, with profound martial arts, and he must not be careless.

He didn't shy away from it, and directly said his real name, and he didn't worry that the other party would know that he was the son of the Marquis who once left the country.

There are so many people with the surname Gu in the world, and his reputation is far less than that of Wen Hongyu, Lu Yan and others, so naturally no one will know of his existence.

"I don't know why Mr. Gu bought so many good horses?" Sure enough, his words caused Tan Feng to have a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Could this be the rule of Qianma Hall? When you come to buy a horse, you have to find out what it is for?" Gu Heng said coldly.

"Of course there is no such rule in Qianmatang. I just asked casually. If Mr. Gu doesn't want to say it, it's fine." Tan Feng was not angry, but said kindly.

"There's nothing to hide. It's okay to tell you. Our Gu family is a family of merchants in Pingzhou. We bought so many good horses back to train a cavalry to protect the family's business and fight against bandits. "

Gu Heng conceived a lot in his mind before he made up these words.

"So that's how it is!" Tan Feng nodded: "Pingzhou is a poor place with a lot of bandits and bandits. We also have a branch in Pingzhou, and we are often attacked by bandits. Doing business there is indeed a burden. It is a huge risk, and without a strong army to protect it, it is simply unsustainable."

"How is it? Are there so many horses in Qianma Hall?"

"Yes, but five hundred horses is not a small number. Now there are only one hundred war horses and one hundred red blood horses in the Thousand Horse Hall. It will take some time to complete the preparations. When will you want them?"

Tan Feng said that he didn't intend to blackmail them money, and naturally recommended war horses and red blood horses for them, because these two kinds of horses are most suitable for training cavalry, and the price is also suitable.

If it is a wild special, lion mane horse, then the investment is too big and not worth it.

From this point of view, Qianmatang is very good.

"The sooner the better, it's best to have red blood horses. I wonder if we can get them all together today?" Gu Heng said immediately.

They were going to Nanyang City on this trip, and they had traveled thousands of miles. Of course, they chose the red-blooded horse with long stamina, and the war horse was only suitable for charging and fighting, and I'm afraid it would not work for long-distance raids.

"It's getting late now, it's definitely not possible today, and it will be done tomorrow morning at the earliest, and I can't guarantee that all of them will be red blood horses, but I will raise as many as you can, what do you think? "

Tan Feng replied.

"Tomorrow morning?" Gu Heng thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, but the delivery location needs to be changed, it doesn't need to be inside Huoyun City, just outside the city."

"no problem!"

It would be a hassle to transport so many horses into Huoyun City, but it would be much more convenient to deliver them outside the city. Tan Feng naturally readily agreed.

Then, the two sides discussed the price again. According to the quality of a red blood horse, it can range from a few hundred taels to thousands of taels of silver. The horses provided by Qianmatang are naturally high-quality goods. Finally, the two sides finalized a red blood horse , traded at a price of 700 taels of silver.

If it is five hundred red blood horses, it is 35 taels of silver.

This was the result of Tan Feng discounting the deal because he thought it was a huge deal, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy it at all.

The price of Qianmatang's business is indeed fair, and there is no deception.

"Zhuo Yu, give Guanshi Tan 1 taels of silver as a deposit!" Gu Heng said to the people behind him.

"Yes!" Zhuo Yu took out the storage bag from his bosom, then took out a stack of bank notes from it, and handed it to Tan Feng.

"Storage bag?" Tan Feng saw the storage bag in Zhuo Yu's hand, and his eyes flashed. He didn't expect that there was a middle-grade Nian teacher beside Gu Heng, and he was carrying such a treasure as a storage bag.

After paying the deposit, he got up to say goodbye, walked out of the VIP room, led the team, and left Qianma Hall.

"Mr. Gu, may I ask you what else I can do for you? Just ask!" Zhao Datou said after coming out of the West City.

"Not yet!" Gu Heng shook his head, then gave Zhao Datou an ingot of grain silver, and asked him to go back to pay a job.

"Where are we going now?" Meng Chang asked immediately after Zhao Datou left.

"Let's go, go back and tell them the news!" Gu Heng had no intention of wandering around in Huoyun City, and immediately prepared to go back and tell Wen Hongyu the news about Lu Yan and the others, lest they come out for a long time, and they were worried.

Anyway, the trading location has been changed outside the city, so there is no need to enter Fire Cloud City anymore.

So, a group of people headed towards the city gate.

However, things backfired. Gu Heng didn't want to make troubles, so things happened to him.

When they reached a broad street, suddenly a row of armored soldiers came straight up and blocked their way, not knowing what to do.

"Excuse me, are you Young Master Gu?" A burly leading soldier stepped forward and said to Gu Heng.

"That's right, who are you?" Gu Heng was puzzled.

"We are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. We are here to invite Young Master Gu to attend the birthday banquet at the City Lord's Mansion under the orders of the City Lord." The leading guard said respectfully. Those who can be personally invited by the City Lord are not ordinary people, but It is a noble status and a great background, so you must not neglect it.

"What? The city lord invited me to the banquet?" Gu Heng was taken aback. He exchanged glances with Meng Chang, Liang Huaji and the others.

"It must be Gantang!" Gu Heng thought about it, and guessed the source, and then looked at the group of guards, there were more than 20 people, all of them were strong and powerful, especially the leading guard, who was even stronger. He is a master of martial arts, has opened up dozens of meridians, is full of energy, and has extraordinary martial arts.

With such a momentum, coming here with great fanfare, and inviting him, it seems that it is impossible not to go.

"Your Excellency the City Lord invites me, but I'm naturally disrespectful." He cursed inwardly, but his face remained calm, and he said, "But wait a moment, everyone, I'll explain things."

So he pulled Meng Chang and Liang Huaji aside.

"What kind of birthday banquet are you really going to the City Lord's Mansion?" Meng Chang asked in a low voice.

"Looking at this situation, is there any choice?" Gu Heng smiled wryly, he didn't expect such side issues to arise, he really came here for whatever he was afraid of.

This is something unexpected and no one can control it.

"Damn it, it must be that Gantang reported what happened in front of the city gate. After Huoyun City Lord knew about it, he also thought you were from a family of merchants in Pingzhou. He was worried that you would settle accounts after the fall. Please ask the censor to impeach him. His position will not be guaranteed. , That's why I sent someone to invite you." Liang Huaji said angrily.

"Don't worry, as long as my identity is not exposed, there will be no danger, and it's fine to go to the city lord's mansion to attend a banquet. I just took this opportunity to see the demeanor of these officials from the Central Dynasty."

Gu Heng opened his mouth and said: "You two, lead the troops back first, leaving Zhuo Yu and ten people to take care of me, everything will follow the plan, be careful, don't be followed."

"Okay, then be careful!" Meng Chang and Liang Huaji could only nod their heads in agreement, and then led the troops and left Huoyun City.

"Master Gu, please!"

At that moment, Gu Heng, Zhuo Yu and others, led by this group of armored guards, came to the City Lord's Mansion.
