The Golden Age Chapter 944: Lion Cong

Qin Xiao just smiled and said, "I bought these two horses." As soon as he had to get a cash ticket, Lu Xiaolou opened his eyes wide, only to find it strange.

I won’t say whether these two horses are good horses. Even if they are really good horses, they are not worth the price.

The most excellent war horse in the real feather department is only forty-five taels of silver in the border area. Qin Xiao actually needs to buy two hybrid horses for one hundred taels of silver. Lu Xiaolou wonders if Qin Xiao’s brain is right. When something went wrong, there was still too much money on his body, so he gave alms.

What surprised Lu Xiaolou even more was that Qin Xiao had to spend a lot of money to buy horses, and the horse dealer shook his head and said, "It's not for sale now. If you can tell the doorway of these two horses, I will give it to you directly. , Otherwise it will cost a thousand taels of silver a horse, and I will not sell it either."

Lu Xiaolou looked around, and found that several horse sellers nearby also looked at Qin Xiao and the horse seller in amazement. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two of them were indeed crazy, no. I have a problem.

"I just passed by a liquor store." Qin Xiao smiled and said to the horse dealer: "If you want, how about a few drinks together?"

The horse vendor looked up at the sky and didn't say much. He untied the horse's rein and led the horse and said, "You lead the way!"

There are indeed a lot of wine shops in Pingcheng. At this time, many wine shops are still doing good business. The wine shop Qin Xiao looked for was relatively quiet. The horse seller tied two horses outside the wine shop and asked the shop assistant to look at it. When the horse was being held, the shop clerk agreed with a smile in his heart. He thought to himself that these two horses are not worthy of personal attention, let alone stealing them, they are really given to others, and others think it is a burden.

The wine and food came up, very rich, and Qin Xiao asked with a smile: "I don't know the name of Zunjia Gao?"

"Qin Ji!" The horse vendor simply said, "People I know call me Crazy Qin!"

Qin Xiao was startled, and then laughed. The horse dealer Qin Ji was a little strange. Qin Xiao already said: "We are my family, and my surname is Qin!"

Actually, he is still not sure whether his surname is really Qin. He was raised by Old Man Zhong since he was a child, and he hasn't really figured out his own life experience. This Qin Xiao's name was still taken by Old Man Zhong, but for nearly two decades. They all use this name, and Qin Xiao is naturally himself.

"Your surname is Qin too?"

"Qin Yang!" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "The surname Qin in the world is a family. According to your age, I should call you uncle and call you Ji Bo."

Qin Ji is in his forties, and it is only natural for Qin Xiaozun to call him uncle.

Qin Ji obviously didn't care what the name was, and asked: "You just mentioned the lion crest, have you seen it?"

"Lions are rare in the world, how can they be easily seen by ordinary people." Qin Xiao picked up the flask, poured it on Qin Ji himself, and said with a smile: "But I do know where the lions are produced." /

"Ask!"

Qin Xiaodao: "Passing the Xiling, leaving the Kunlun Pass, it is now the territory of the Wutuo Khanate, but before the Wutuo people moved outside the Kunlun Pass, they followed the Kunlun Pass all the way to the west, and there were many ancient Western regions, large and small. There are thirty-six countries with names and surnames, collectively referred to as the 36 countries of the Western Regions. Among them is a small country called Huhu. It’s very impressive in China

Eyes. "

When Qin Ji heard the word "huhu", Qin Ji's eyes lit up and smiled and said: "You know the foxhu, then you really know the lion tong."

Lu Xiaolou saw that these two people talked very happily. He felt a little bit surprised when they met each other. It was just that he was well-informed, but he had never heard of a "lion cheater"-a horse. , Could not help asking: "The lion's collar was born in the country of Huhu? What kind of horse is this?"

"Actually, I only heard people mention it in the story, and even that person didn't know if there was a lion cub at time." Qin Xiao said slowly: "There are two great horses in the Western Regions, a sweaty BMW. There are not a few people who know the sweaty BMWs, they are indeed rare and rare, and the other is the Lion Cong, but very few people know them, and they have never appeared in the Central Plains." Looking at Qin Ji, "If I didn’t That’s wrong, the lion cub first appeared in the Huhu country, and finally died in the Huhu. It is rumored that the lion cub is already extinct now."

Qin Ji shook his head and smiled: "If Grandpa passes away, will he really disappear completely? No, as long as his blood is passed on, then he has not completely disappeared from this world." After a pause, he said: "The lion chung is indeed produced in the western fox country, but when it first appeared, the pearl was covered in dust and no one knew the goods. It was because the appearance of the lion chung did not look like other steeds. The whole body was curly and very ugly. Most horses in the Western Regions are tough. Very good, able to carry heavy loads, but not as fast as Tusun’s prairie horses. The best prairie horses are true feather horses. As a war horse, true feather horses have unparalleled speed when charging, but compared to western horses, The load of the prairie horses is much weaker, and most war horses cannot even afford half of what the Western Region horses can bear."

Qin Xiao nodded, just listening to Qin Ji continue: "So Tusun's ministries can hardly be equipped with heavy cavalry. Even if the heavy cavalry is barely equipped, the load on the horses will be too heavy, and the speed of the impact will be greatly reduced. The grasslands are mostly due to the light cavalry."

"Western horses can afford to weigh, but their speed is not fast. If they are equipped with heavy cavalry, their speed will be affected to some extent." Qin Xiaodao.

Qin Ji smiled and said: "Yes. But this lion crow is different. As the name suggests, the word lion of the lion crow is not only because its body hair curls like a male lion, but also because it has excellent toughness. It can not only bear weight, but also has patience. The speed and speed are outstanding, suitable for long-distance attacks." There is no lack of arrogance on his face: "For all ages, there have been heavy armored cavalry, but in my opinion, only the lion's armor is equipped with top-notch heavy armored cavalry. You know the Western Region III The Sixteen Kingdoms naturally knew that among the 36 countries, the Huhu Kingdom was weak and bullied. However, a hundred years ago, the Huhu Kingdom was extremely prosperous and made the surrounding countries feel jealous. The reason is because Hu Hu State trained a group of heavy armored cavalry by using the lion tongs."

Qin Xiao became more interested and hurriedly said: "I really don't know at this time, please enlighten me from Uncle Ji!"

"Huhu's heavy-armored cavalry has no more than five hundred men, but the combat power of this heavy-armored cavalry is unparalleled, and it can often be ten." Qin Ji solemnly said: "Relying on this heavy-armored cavalry, the surrounding countries dare not look down upon it. Hu Hu country. But later Hu Hu, the leader of the country was stubborn, thinking that he could cross the Western Regions with this cavalry, and wanted to expand the territory and increase the territory, but was eventually defeated by the coalition forces of all countries, and the entire army of five hundred heavy cavalry was wiped out...! "Speaking of this, he shook his head, and sighed: "No matter how sharp the weapon is, if the weapon is arrogant, it will eventually end in its own way."

Qin Xiao thought that Qin Ji looked unremarkable, but his knowledge was not superficial.

"Do you know why I can't raise a good horse in Datang?" Qin Ji looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

Qin Xiaodao: "Is it because we don't have a good pasture?"

"This is naturally a reason." Qin Ji sighed: "But the most important reason is not this. Tang people are proud of their beauty and pay attention to luxury, which is fine, but the officials in charge of horse affairs are also They are all laymen. They want horses to be beautiful, but ugly ones will be abandoned. If things go on like this, after several generations, they will be bred with flashy horses, and these horses are raised as ancestors, unlike the Western Region horses and prairie horses that have experienced the weather. , The result will naturally be judged."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "It's not only a horse, but also a person. It's flashy and unreal, and it's hard to become a powerful weapon without tempering."

Qin Ji seems to have met a bosom friend, and smiled: "What you have said to me is your temper. Whether you are a man or a horse, you must not just look at the surface and see if you have the ability. I brought these two horses today. Horses, even if those clever sage horse masters come and just look at the hair, I’m afraid they will immediately conclude that they are inferior horses. In saga horsemanship, the first is to look at the hair, but this method is used on my lion collar. It's a big mistake."

When Lu Xiaolou heard this, he immediately asked: "Your two horses are the lion crows?"

Qin Ji glanced at Lu Xiaolou and said, "In fact, these two horses are just hybrid-horses."

Qin Xiao seemed to understand something, and nodded and said: "So it is."

"Don't you contempt?" Qin Ji was a little surprised when he saw the young man's calm face.

"What do you despise?"

"My lion male is a hybrid-horse, and people all over the world are full of disdain for hybrid-horses."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "What's so contemptuous about this, purebreds-horses have purebreds-horses are good, hybrids-horses have the advantages of hybrids-horses, some purebreds-horses are not as good as hybrids-horses It’s useful. Whether it’s a good horse or a bad horse, you can’t just look at the breed, but also on its true ability. Bo Ji, I've also looked at it carefully before. The eyes of your two horses are like hanging bells, with purple eyes. They are big and white, which proves their courage, short horse ears, slender belly and tiger chest, and thin breathing. It's just that they are overlooked because of their ugly appearance, but these are all characteristics of a good horse."

Qin Ji patted his thigh, haha ​​laughed: "Just what you said, you are really knowledgeable. I can't imagine that you are young, and you really know how to make horses."

"I dare not dare, it’s just that I’ve heard others talk about it before, and I think it’s fun, and I just remember it in my heart." Qin Xiao said hurriedly, he is really not humble, these superficial ways of Xiangma, he follows The prisoners in Jiazijian learned that even the legend of the lion's collar was also learned from the prisoners. They knew that there is a rumored horse with curly and sparse body hair, but it is a rare BMW in the world. I saw it in the horse market today, and I am not sure. After tempted with Qin Ji, Qin Ji's reaction made Qin Xiao immediately understand that these two horses must be related to the lion tongs.

Qin Ji smiled and said: "I don't want to hide it from you. Although these two horses are not real lion crows, they are flowing with the blood of lion crows. Not only that, they still have the blood of real feather horses." Voice, said: "In a word, these two horses were bred from real feather horses and lion crows. Not only do they have the endurance and weight of a lion crow, but they also have the speed of a real feather horse. Over!"
