Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 109 Missed
Zhao Min watched the soldiers at the city gate checking the luggage of the people entering and leaving, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally arrived at the gate of the city. He was very thirsty, and he must drink a ladle of water when he returned to the inn.

Zhao Min lined up and waited for inspection to enter the city gate. When he was about to arrive, he took off the basket on his back and held it in his hand, waiting for his turn to inspect.

During the process of queuing, Zhao Min was looking around, and saw a man with his back facing him inside the city gate, who was muttering something to the soldier, and he was still a little surprised.

Zhao Min, the soldier standing guard, recognized him. Once when he was out of the city, a man wanted to ask him what was going on, but he pushed the man to the ground and told him to leave quickly.

This man has a bad temper, he doesn't talk to people easily, and that man stood there talking to him for so long, but Zhao Min didn't care, it must be the soldier's family.

Zhao Min didn't have any contraband or private possessions on him, and he let him go after checking.

After the inspection, Zhao Min took two steps, looked back at the back of the man who was talking to his soldier, tilted his head, and walked towards the Laifu Inn without thinking much.

Gu Lingqing, who was inquiring about the situation with the soldiers, suddenly felt that someone was looking at her, so she turned her head and saw the back of a woman.

With just one glance, Gu Lingqing turned her head.

"This Liangcheng, don't listen to its name Liangcheng, you must have felt it too. The weather here is hot, and people don't want to come out for activities at noon."

Gu Lingqing nodded, indeed, the temperature on this side of Liangcheng is probably several degrees higher than that of Imperial City.

"So, the most people enter and exit the city gates in the morning and evening. Most of the people who have something to do take advantage of the coolness in the morning to leave the city, and come back in the afternoon and evening."

Gu Lingqing patted the soldier on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, thank you."

After speaking, Gu Lingqing left the gate of the city.

After he left, the soldier next to him came over: "Hey? I said that you usually don't even pay attention to this kind of person. Why did you talk to him for so long today?"

The soldier waved at him impatiently: "Go, go, what do you know?"

The hands of the soldier standing guard trembled slightly, and only then did he realize that his back was already wet with sweat. The soldier was so nervous just now, for fear that the nobleman would take his head because of his dissatisfied answer.

Now that Gu Lingqing is gone, he is completely relaxed.

After Zhao Min returned to the inn, he casually placed the bamboo basket on his back in the backyard, then scooped up a large ladle of water from the big vat, gulped it all down, and felt much cooler.

Tao Zhiyi, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out when he heard movement in the backyard. After seeing Zhao Min, he was stunned for a moment: "Master, are you back?"

Zhao Min nodded and walked towards the kitchen, and saw that Tao Zhiyi had sorted out the ingredients that Zhao Min bought this morning, and immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Little apprentice, what did you do?" good."

Tao Zhiyi touched the back of his head embarrassingly: "It's all taught by the master."

After seeing that the ingredients were all processed, Zhao Min went to the second floor, found a piece of cloth and spread it in the backyard, spread all the herbs he dug up this morning on the cloth, spread it out, and let the sun shine on it .

After Luo Jiayin returned to Luo Mansion from the street, he went straight to a stable behind which he raised.

After the boy saw his young master coming, he subconsciously asked, "Master, where is the lightning you rode out this morning?"

That Lightning is Luo Jiayin's favorite horse recently, and he still remembers the scene of naming him with great interest.

After listening to the boy's question, Luo Jiayin kicked the boy's ass.

"Trash, which pot will not be lifted!"

The young man didn't know where he offended the young master, and he clutched his ass, feeling very wronged.

Luo Jiayin's face was full of sadness. The horse riding competition will be held in seven days. This Lightning is fast and durable. It is his favorite horse. Now it is being confiscated by Deputy General Yan. What should I do?
Knowing the ins and outs, the boy rolled his eyes, leaned in front of Luo Jiayin, and said his plan: "Master, why don't you pick a few decent horses from this stable and send them to Deputy General Yan?" In his house, you exchange our horses for one of his war horses."

"what do you mean?"

Luo Jiayin has not yet figured out the connection.

The boy rolled his eyes in his heart, and secretly scolded his young master for being stupid, of course, he didn't dare to say that.

"Young master, think about it, that war horse has been trained by those soldiers in the barracks all day long. Although it is a bit fierce, it must be stronger than our ordinary horses. If you can get a war horse to participate in the horse riding competition, how much do you want?" Isn't it a sure win?"

Luo Jiayin thought about the feasibility of this young man's suggestion in his heart, everything is fine, but there are two problems.

"Can the deputy general agree to this?" Thinking of Yan Dong's stern face, Luo Jiayin was terrified from the bottom of his heart.

"Exchanging more for less, how could Deputy General Yan disagree?"

Luo Jiayin nodded, thinking that it was feasible: "But...the horses prepared in the barracks are fierce, and there are only seven days left before the competition. Can I tame them?"

This young man is also short-sighted, after hearing Luo Jiayin talk about his worries, he comforted him: "Master, don't you still have confidence in yourself? I believe you will be able to do it, Young Master."

After hearing the boy's flattery, Luo Jiayin became inexplicably confident, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's do it like this."

Immediately, Luo Jiayin found a few servants and led five horses, and a group of people walked through the street in a mighty manner, walking towards Yan's mansion.

Arriving at the gate of Yan's mansion, Luo Jiayin learned from Butler Luo that Yan Dong had gone to the military camp and hadn't returned yet.

Immediately, Luo Jiayin patted himself on the head, why is he so stupid, how could Yan Dong be in Yanfu at this time?
The boy who was dozing off beside the stable woke up immediately after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, and seeing Luo Jiayin coming back with five horses, he hurriedly went up to him: "Young master, why did you bring five more horses back?" Are you back?"

Luo Jiayin directly stretched out his hand, and slapped the boy on the head: "You are so smart, why didn't you think that Yan Dong is not in the Yan Mansion?"

The young man was beaten, and felt very wronged: I never said that Deputy General Yan would be in Yan Mansion now.

"Every day." Luo Jiayin kicked the boy's ass: "Hurry up and ask the kitchen to cook for me, I'm starving to death."
