Chapter 117: The Chief of the Zhao Clan
Although Huangfu Chaobo didn't know what he meant by such a request, he still told him everything he had seen and heard along the way. When he mentioned that since entering Jizhou, there have been more and more people wearing yellow scarves, Huangfu Chaobo found that the old man Zhao frowned slightly, if Huangfu Chaobo hadn't been looking at him There was no change in his expression at all. Huangfu Chaobo was taken aback. Could it be that the old man had already seen something was wrong, but he just wanted to use Huangfu Chaobo to prove his thoughts? Sure enough, people are old and mature. . .
After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's narration, the old man Zhao asked again: "I don't know, brother, what do you think of these people with yellow scarves? Or what do you think of the current situation of big men?"
"Mr. Zhao is taking the exam for the school boy. Since Mr. Zhao thinks highly of it, the boy will dare to say it. However, this remark will come out of my mouth and into your ears. If I say it, the kid will not admit it." , walked to the old man Zhao, and whispered in his ear: "The world will be in chaos, and the source of the chaos is these yellow scarves..."
Little old man, you actually tested me on this, then I will tell you what you think in your heart to scare you. Hee hee hee. . .
Old man Zhao was really surprised when he heard this, and the way he looked at Huangfu Chaobo was different from before. It is reasonable to say that I can see these things through decades of experience. It is not easy for this person to see things so thoroughly at his age. If Huangfu Chaobo knew what old man Zhao was thinking, he would definitely laugh happily.
"Then, from my brother's point of view, what should we do?"
"Isn't Mr. Zhao ready?" Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile
Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo had seen through all these things about him, old man Zhao stopped going around in circles, and said directly, "Does this young master have a horse farm outside the pass?"
"Ms. Zhao is very considerate. There is no horse farm. There are only a few family members who can train horses, so they will occasionally go to the grassland to catch some horses and train them by themselves, so that I can have any unexpected needs. Why? Mrs. Zhao thought Want to buy a horse?"
"Sir, you must know something about our Zhaojia Village." He said, looking at Zhao Feng meaningfully, and said: "Although our village has a little strong people, but there is no suitable way to buy horses, so If the young master has horses, I want to buy some horses and put them here in case of emergencies."
"Oh. How much does Mr. Zhao want? I don't have many horses there, and I need to provide all the white horses to General Gongsun who protects the Xianbei Colonel's Mansion..." Huangfu Chaobo wrote;
"It doesn't need much, a hundred horses are enough, and our village can't afford any more. Besides, we are not using it to attack cities and loot land, but we are just using it to inquire about news."
"So, now I have some good horses in my hands. I'll give ten horses to Mr. Zhao first. You have to send someone to Youbeiping to buy the rest. Of course, I will arrange everything there, and the price is also reasonable. It is definitely much cheaper than the official horse market, as long as 30% of the official price is enough."
"Well, please arrange it, my lord. We can just buy a hundred war horses. As for the money, I will send it over later." Old man Zhao said on the spot when he heard that horses could be bought;
"Hehe, Mr. Zhao is not afraid that I will take the money. Can't you get the horse over there?"
"Heh... just because the young master sent out ten good horses and four fine horses without saying a word, even if we can't get those horses, we won't suffer a loss..." Old man Zhao laughed;
"Okay, Xiaojing, please contact Xiaowen and the others and ask them to prepare a hundred war horses there. In addition, let them tell Hu Yandu and the others to remember to help Xiaoyu catch a horse. .” Huangfu Chaobo turned to Jia Jing and said;
"Didn't my little brother give Xiaoyu a horse? Why do you want someone to catch it?" Old man Zhao felt strange when he heard this, and asked;
"Uncle Clan,
You don't know, hee hee. . . Brother Huangfu promised me a long time ago to give me a fiery red horse, but he doesn't have one now, so let me take a maroon one first. By then, I will have two red horses. . . . "
Seeing Zhao Yu's smug face, Zhao Feng couldn't help but nodded helplessly at Old Man Zhao.
"Okay, we have to go too. Brother Zhao, you can take someone with us to fetch the horse now." Huangfu Chaobo said;
"Let's go now? Don't you stay here for a few more days?" Zhao Feng said;
Old man Zhao also asked why he was walking in such a hurry. Huangfu Chaobo blinked at old man Zhao and said, "You know the reason, Mr. Zhao. By the way, Mr. Zhao, I think the village should make more preparations, like For food, grass and weapons, it is always good to be prepared..."
Old man Zhao nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you for reminding me, brother."
So Huangfu Chaobo and the others left Zhaojia Village and headed for Zhending County.
After Huangfu Chaobo and the others left, Zhao Feng said to Mr. Zhao: "Uncle Clan, didn't you say..."
"You mean that I once said that I would never have anything to do with any forces. Why do you accept the horses he gave you now?"
"Um..."
"I'll tell you about this later. You have a few things to do right now. First, take someone to bring the silver to Zhending and give it to him. Then he will send our ten horses and your own two horses." Bring them back, and then ask where we are going to pick up the horses. After returning, immediately arrange for someone to bring back the hundred war horses. Second, starting tomorrow, you must step up the training of the clan soldiers. Third... Forget it, I'll let others do those things, you have to get these two things done in the shortest possible time. You know, the two most promising people in the clan are you two brothers. Now that Xiaoyun is not here, these things must be done You did it."
"Yes, Uncle Clan, but...Did Brother Huangfu tell you something? Why did we..."
"These things are just my guesses and his, but what he said is not wrong, it is always good to be prepared."
"It's the clan uncle. I'll do it right away."
"Well, pay attention to safety. Come, call all the clan elders for a meeting immediately..."
. . .
Not long after Huangfu Chaobo and the others arrived at the inn in Zhending City, Zhao Feng brought someone to pick up the horse, and Zhao Yu's little girl was also with him. Originally, Zhao Feng meant to take it back by himself, but Xiaoya had to choose by herself, but in the end she couldn't do it anymore and had to bring her along.
After the group selected the horses, Zhao Feng handed over the money to buy the horses to Huangfu Chaobo. After asking how to get the horses, he took the horses back to Zhaojia Village.
