Volume 31 Chapter 13

The distance from Jinguangcheng to Youzhou is more than 3,000 kilometers. On this road, the scenery along the way is vast and sparsely populated, but it is not barren. Along the road, there will be villages or inns every few kilometers. It is convenient for vehicles to be replenished at any time, and occasionally they can enjoy local Chinese food. Zhang Tie and his father left Cotai City on the 21st. He and his father drove for a few hours every day. Wherever it is fun, I will stop there for a while. Occasionally, Zhang Tie will get some game, and the family will have a barbecue in the car. There are countless interesting things along the way, and the family is very happy.

Zhang Tie's mother had completely recovered from the second day after leaving Jinguang City, and her spirit and energy seemed to be stronger than before. Seeing that his mother's spirit was getting better and better, Zhang Tie knew that This trip to Youzhou is the right time.

Ten days after leaving Jinguang City, that is, on the evening of October 1, Zhang Tie and the others drove the "Xia Ke Xing" to a plain less than 300 kilometers away from Youzhou City.

Under the rosy light of the sky, the plain in front of everyone was endless, the breeze was blowing, the grass waves on the field were surging like waves, and a group of wild antelopes were grazing not far away. Seeing the magnificent scenery of this field, Zhang Tie drove the RV off the road and stopped by a shallow river next to the road. The water in the river was only knee-deep, and the river beach was covered with pebbles. The water in the river was clear. A good place to have a meal and rest.

"Mom and Dad, how about we spend the night here tonight!" Zhang Tie turned his head in the driver's seat of the RV and shouted to the sound transmission brass beside him. On the viewing platform on the top of the caravan, when the caravan drove down the road just now, because there was a small slope, Zhang Chenglei and the others on the top viewing platform shouted excitedly.

"Okay, your mother said to stay here tonight!" Zhang Tie's father said something on it, and the voice came down clearly through the sound-transmitting brass pipe. Zhang Chengting let out an exclamation.

This sound-transmitting brass pipe is usually only equipped on airships. Zhang Tie had never thought that it would also be equipped on cars before, and this car was quite thoughtful.

On a relatively flat ground more than 20 meters away from the river, Zhang Tie stopped the car, pulled up the parking brake, adjusted the switch of the power boiler on the car to the parking state, and then turned on The hatch of the cockpit jumped out of the cockpit and began to get busy skillfully.

Zhang Tie first went to the river to check the water quality, and found that the water here was non-toxic and drinkable, so he took out a bucket from the car and began to fetch water from the river to refill the car. If you are in an inn or hotel, you only need to connect the water pipe to add water to the RV, but in the wild, you need to do it yourself if you want to add water to the RV. In this RV, the power boiler needs water, everyone needs water for washing at night, and the kitchen also needs water for washing vegetables and cooking. When going out, this water is an indispensable thing.

When Zhang Tie was adding water, his three sons ran down from the viewing platform on the roof impatiently and began to catch fish in the river, while Zhang Tie's father was holding a fishing rod , Said that he was going fishing, and had a competition with several children to see who could catch the fish first.

There was laughter all around.

After Zhang Tie finished filling the caravan with buckets of water, dug a hole on the ground near the caravan, dealt with the boiler ash and other garbage on the caravan, and finished all the heavy and tiring work, Linda and the others had their dinner It’s ready, the family is on the viewing platform of the RV, open the movable sunroof on the viewing platform, look at the beautiful scenery of the plain in the distance, and enjoy dinner in the evening breeze blowing in the sky full of sunset .

The results of the competition between Zhang Tie's father and the three children,

It was Zhang Tie's father who really caught a big fish with a forearm length in the river. So for this dinner, everyone had an extra delicious fish soup.

After dinner, Zhang Tie took the initiative to take over the task of washing the dishes. After Linda and the others cleaned up the table, he came to the river with a pile of dishes and started washing them seriously.

Just a few minutes later, thunderous hoofbeats came from far away in the plain. Hearing the hoofbeats, Zhang Tie was still quietly washing the bowls. Mom called the car.

The law and order in Taixia is very good. We have been traveling for the past few days, and we have not encountered any unscrupulous people. However, in the wilderness, the family is outside, so it is always right to pay more attention. The sound of hooves seemed to be a group of cavalry rushing towards here from the field. Hearing the thunderous sound of hooves, the group of wild antelopes in the distance ran away in panic.

In just a few minutes, the thunderous hoofbeats got closer and closer, and the hoofbeats didn't stop until they got close to the river.

It is a cavalry team of more than 50 Chinese who rushed over from the field. The team seems to have known that there is a river here, so their goal is this river. When they came to the river, they began to drink horses and let their mounts Drink water.

Across a river more than 20 meters wide, Zhang Tie looked at those people and their mounts while washing the bowl.

Leading the team of cavalry were two young men, and the cavalry behind the two young men were all extremely sturdy, but what attracted Zhang Tie's attention more was the mounts under the crotch of those cavalry.

The mounts on the crotch of those cavalrymen seemed to be bigger and stronger than the Ironhorn Beast, with a curved single horn like a rhinoceros on its head, which looked very majestic and mighty.

Zhang Tie knows this kind of animal, this kind of animal is called a rhinoceros horse, and it is a sixth-level creature. This rhinoceros horse is much more powerful than the iron horned beast, and has the same level as the saber-toothed beast, but the saber-toothed beast eats meat, while the rhinoceros horse eats grass. Only this point, this rhinoceros horse will surpass the saber-toothed beast. beast. In the Eastern Continent, this rhinoceros horse is the standard mount of the Taixia cavalry troops. Except for a very small number of special troops, the entire Taixia cavalry rides rhinoceros horses. Zhang Tie heard that there is a huge rhinoceros horse farm just outside the city of Youzhou, and the number of rhinoceros horses raised in the entire military horse farm exceeds 600,000. This is a number that makes the entire Holy Kingdom of Iceland unmatched. Rhinoceros horses are raised in many states in Taixia. Rhinoceros horses in different places have slightly different abilities due to soil, soil and species ancestry. The rhinoceros horses in Youzhou are good at running, and they are guarded in the northeast of Taixia. In the territory of the government, it is considered to be second to none, even in Taixia, it is considered a little famous.

An ordinary rhinoceros horse can be sold for more than 600 gold coins in Taixia, and the price of some special rhinoceros horses is even higher. This rhinoceros horse is also a very important thing in Youzhou's foreign trade, and it is sold from all over Youzhou every year The number of rhinoceros horses that went out basically reached more than 400,000, and the trade volume was nearly 300 million gold coins. After coming to Youzhou, Huaiyuantang had the idea of ​​getting involved in the rhinoceros horse business, but until now Huaiyuantang has not Get all the joints of this business straightened out. If Huaiyuantang can win the position of governor of Youzhou this time, the problems that plague Huaiyuantang, especially the source of the rhinoceros stallion, can be solved in an instant

Zhang Tie was looking at those cavalrymen and rhinoceros horses across a river, and those cavalrymen and rhinoceros horsemen were also looking at Zhang Tie. But those who looked at the RV in the distance, and then saw Zhang Tie squatting by the river washing dishes, lost interest in Zhang Tie in an instant.

"Brother Cangwu, what do you think of my rhinoceros at the Youzhou Army Horse Farm?" Across the river, the conversation between the two young men over there clearly reached Zhang Tie's ears.

"This Youzhou rhinoceros horse runs thousands of miles a day, and it really matches its name. It can be called a good horse. However, compared with Jianzhou, Hezhou, Liangzhou, and Ganzhou rhinoceros horses, this Youzhou rhinoceros horse is faster and stronger. In terms of endurance, it is still a bit inferior. Compared with the rhinoceros horses in Chuanzhou, Tangzhou and Yunzhou, their load-bearing capacity is not superior. This is a fly in the ointment. On the one hand, if there is another breakthrough, the Youzhou Rhinoceros may occupy a place in the list of Taixia Famous Horses in the future!"

"The improvement of horse breeds is not achieved in a day, and there are very few beast masters with this ability. It can only depend on chance!" The young man who spoke said with a sigh.

"Hahaha, what brother Tianqi said is true, but I am waiting here to talk about wars on paper, and my mouth is relaxed!"

"Cangwu's words hit the nail on the head. A few words and a few words coincide with the meaning of Lord Duzai. How can he talk about military affairs on paper? If this is considered to be an army of soldiers on paper, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Lord Duzai to have a military think tank beside him."

"Brother Tianqi has won the prize. I don't think it's too early now, so let's go back!"

"Okay, I think this rhinoceros is full now, so let's go back to Youzhou City..."

Before leaving, the two young men who were talking took another look at Zhang Tie, and then they turned the rhinoceros horse's head and left with a group of cavalry...

A few minutes after those people left, Zhang Tie finished washing the dishes and returned to the RV with the dishes in his arms.

"Husband, who were those people just now? They all seem to be full of evil spirits!" As soon as they got back to the RV, Fiona asked delicately, patting her bulging chest.

"Those people must be cavalry from Youzhou City!" Zhang Tie replied casually.

When answering this question, the faces of the two young people who were talking just now flashed across Zhang Tie's mind again, making Zhang Tie secretly sigh, this Taixia is outstanding, it really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, not Weiyi The subcontinent is comparable. When I go to the river to wash the dishes, I can meet two young Chinese who have advanced to the rank of knight. For those who have been promoted to the rank of knight at this age, in the Weiyi subcontinent, besides myself, I really Haven't seen the second one yet.

More than an hour later, the team of cavalry had left the river a hundred miles away. Suddenly, the galloping young man named Cang Wu tightened the reins, and the rhinoceros horse under his crotch neighed, Both legs were raised high at once, then they stepped heavily on the ground, and then stopped.

The riding skills of the other cavalrymen in the team were very strong. Seeing this young man stop, the whole team stopped instantly.

"Brother Cangwu, what's the matter?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something. It's nothing. It's over!" The young man named Cang Wu smiled and didn't explain anything. Instead, he continued to gallop, and the others looked at each other. , also continued to run towards Youzhou City.

In the heart of that young man named Cang Wu, the image of Zhang Tie's squatting by the river washing dishes has always been faintly flashing.

That sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was too calm just now.

And from the beginning to the end, from seeing them running until they left, the young man didn't even stand up...

He actually kept squatting...

Always... squatting!

This is where the problem lies!

In the past few days, Youzhou City has become more and more lively!

The rookie disciples of the younger generation of Tianji Sect also sighed in their hearts...

The feeling of a family spending the night in the wild is very special. At night, the skylight on the observation deck of the RV is slid and closed. In several bedrooms of the RV, as long as you lie down and look up, you can see the sky full of Star.

There are four bedrooms in the caravan, two for two people, one for three people, and one for five people. Zhang Tie and Linda are in the five-person room. Left to the three children in the family.

The family fell asleep, and Zhang Tie was in the room, lying on the bed with Linda in his arms, and the three of them looked at the stars in the sky. When they went to find Mrs. Anna, Linda and the other three laughed coquettishly.

"Okay, let me tell you why you were so honest during the trial in the Wolf Valley. Everyone thought you were an upright gentleman, but it turns out that you are not good!" Beverly said with a smile.

Zhang Tie blushed slightly, "Cough... cough... I was very pure at that time, and I really didn't have any other thoughts!"

"What about now, do you have any ideas?" Fiona looked at Zhang Tie with winking eyes, and her hands gradually became dishonest.

When the temperature outside began to drop, the temperature in Zhang Tie's room gradually increased...

What satisfied Zhang Tie the most about this caravan, cough...cough... is its sound insulation effect, which is completely expert...

The next day, after catching fish in the river all morning with the three boys, in the afternoon, the RV started to drive again.

When night fell on the 2nd, Zhang Tie's RV finally arrived in Youzhou City.

Zhang Tie is not a country bumpkin, but he didn't come to his senses for a while when he saw Youzhou City for the first time.

When a first-class city in Taixia appeared in front of a person who saw a first-class city for the first time after coming to Taixia, the shock was unparalleled.

Zhang Tie's first impression of Youzhou City was that it was large, his second impression was that it was large, and his third impression was that it was still large.

This is a majestic city that will give people a stunning feeling.

In the night, the shocking lighting effect produced by the rows of ten thousand-year-old fluorite inlaid on the four walls of the city makes Youzhou City look like a huge fortress made of emerald...

The airships above Youzhou City come and go like crucian carp crossing the river, and the prosperity is like a dream...

The new atmosphere of the Year of the Sheep, everyone is full of joy.
