: Horse Taming

"It's so unreasonable! It's so unreasonable! He can fool him in this way. Is his father so confused? I can't even see such obvious things?!" After hearing Li Qing's return, Li Chengqian, who had been waiting for news in the East Palace, jumped up from the couch in anger, and the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground, splashing all the debris on the ground.

"His prince is angry! His prince is careful with his words!" He was shocked by their master's performance, especially the three words "old and confused", which made Li Qing feel even more terrified. Can the emperor scold him casually?

Neither the king nor the father, the prince Li Chengqian could insult him at will. Li Qing looked out the door of the study carefully, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, and he felt in his stomach. If the prince had just heard these words, his master, the lord of the Eastern Palace, would have sat down.

"Hmph!" Hearing his words, Li Chengqian snorted and sat down again, finally stopping his disobedient words just now. However, looking at his chest rising and falling, it was obvious that his anger had not yet disappeared.

"The injuries on the palace had not recovered and could not move at all. If the wound on his body was broken, it would be troublesome." Seeing Li Chengqian covering his chest with his hands and his face was pale and painful, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and helped him lightly, waiting for Li Chengqian to lie on his side again on the couch.

"He Liu Yi secretly bought millions of dans of food and grass just to make that 'instant pastry'? Sneer~!" Li Chengqian curled his lips and sneered, wanting to throw something or shout twice to relieve his anger, but the pain from his body forced him to calm down.

"That's one million dan! It's equivalent to the harvest of the entire Tang Dynasty in the past six months!" I felt depressed in my heart. Li Chengqian sat up again after lying down: "Even if his 'instant pastry' is so magical, can he eat that one million dan? The amount of food accumulated in stock can be consumed in three to five years. Isn't this a tranquil product? What's the point of tranquil goods?"

Knowing that their highness was not over, Li Qing lowered his head and stood beside the bed, not daring to say more.

"But Father," Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with anger again when he mentioned this: "But Father, he let Liu Yi go so easily. Why? Didn't Father, he hate merchants who store goods and food the most? Why did he know that there is no room for slowing down between Gu and Liu Yi?"

"Or, my father had the idea of ​​destruction and establishment again, and wanted to use Liu Yizhi's hand to drive Gu out of the Eastern Palace?" Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's forehead, which was still full of anger, suddenly calmed down, with a faint sense of timidity on his face.

The reason why he was so annoyed and wanted to get rid of Liu Yi's life was to put it bluntly because of the little fear that Liu Yi existed in his heart.

Think about Wu Zuijian, who was protected by Hou Junji, think about Hou Junji who repeatedly asked for trouble for Liu Yi, and all the small families who had celebrated festivals in Liu Yi, who had ever had a good time?

Regarding Liu Yi's scheming and methods, Li Chengqian's initial admiration to the fear of being behind him in the end was always the motivation and fundamental reason why he wanted to eliminate Liu Yi by any means. With such a terrible enemy, if he could not be eliminated earlier, how could Li Chengqian live a stable life?

"If your highness is worried about Liu Yi, the villain can find some good players to try," Seeing that their highness was distressed, Li Qing stepped forward to express his loyalty and said, "It is good to be able to kill him. Even if he cannot succeed, he can still be jealous and dare not do anything wrong again."

"Idiot!" Li Chengqian cursed, waved his hand and slapped him, slapped him on the face with a crisp sound: "If I could do this, I would like to remind you? Liu Yi is good at it, so it's not okay to find someone who can kill him. Don't you know that for the sake of the first two assassinations, your father and mother have become suspicious of the orphans. Do you want to put the orphans in a place of unkindness and unrighteousness?!"

"Yes, it's the villain who is not careful and only cares about venting his anger for Your Highness. He didn't think about anything else for a while. I hope your Highness will forgive him!" Li Qing knelt down on the ground and apologized for tremblingly.

"Okay, okay, I know you are loyal and have no intention of blaming you. Let's get up." I was so upset, but Li Chengqian still suppressed his temper and comforted Li Qing. After all, he was his confidant. Although he was a mistake, he was also thinking about him, so Li Chengqian had no intention of pursuing the matter.

"Thank you Your Highness, thank you for not asking for your kindness!" Li Qing kowtowed again with gratitude. After seeing that his highness seemed to be no longer angry, he dared to stand up lightly.

"What's going on in the Liu Mansion recently?" Li Chengqian asked again after suppressing his annoyance.

"Return to Your Highness," Li Qing was much more careful than the moment before, bowing and responding respectfully: "There are some actions, but most of them are normal business dealings, and there are not many things worth paying attention to."

"The only thing worth mentioning," Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to be furious again, Li Qing hurriedly replied again: "A while ago, they sent a manager named Liu Bing to Gaochang to collect the white folds. I heard that the money I brought with me was as much as millions of coins. Judging from the stairs, I wanted to buy all the white folds in Gaochang back."

"Hmm? Millions of silver coins?" Li Cheng's eyes lit up, he lay on the couch for a moment of thought, and ordered Li Qing: "You should immediately write a letter and hand the news to Gaochang. Don't let them do their Liu family's business too far. If possible, it's better to rob the silver coins."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Qing lowered his head and responded softly, no longer as much as he said before.

On the northwest border, Yantian Ranch, drinking tea and enjoying snow in the backyard, Ji He was disturbed by a pigeon suddenly flying from the outside.

"Hmm? Is it written by the young master?" Seeing the handwriting of the letter taken off the pigeon's legs, Ji He hurriedly stood up, and his indifferent expression instantly became respectful.

"You all retreat first. Without my instructions, the tasker must not approach the backyard." Before reading the letter, Li Jihe took the lead in repelling the servants who were serving in the backyard, and then carefully unfolded the letter in his hand again.

"Huh? This..., the young master is too brave, right?" After reading the letter, Li Jihe couldn't help but take a long breath, and hurriedly took a sip of the hot tea on the table to shock him, as if he was scared by the contents of the letter.

"However, this is in line with the young master's usual style of behavior," Li Jihe's mood gradually became firmer, he clenched his fists, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to himself: "Either don't do it, do it thoroughly!"

"But, if this matter is exposed, I wonder how the young master should deal with the serious consequences it has caused?" After throwing the letter into the stove, sitting there for a while, Li Jihe got up and walked towards the front yard.

"Master, your name is Xiao?" In the living room, the butler He Wen walked from the outside, saw Li Jihe and bowed and asked their master.

"Well, there is something to you," Li Jihe went straight to the point without making any courtesy with He Wen, and ordered He Wen: "In the past two days, a caravan will come to Gaochang from the territory to buy goods. Please find a few friends who are familiar with Gaochang's customs to guide them and help them get things done as soon as possible."

"Yes, lord." He Wen responded. This is not a difficult task. Yantian Ranch has been open on the border for nearly two years. During this period, because of buying horses and selling horses, he has dealt with Gaochang many times. If you want to find a few friends who are familiar with the customs and customs of Gaochang, you don't have to worry about it. There are ready-made candidates in their field.

"Well, okay, you go now." He waved to He Wen, and Li Jihe said, "Call Wang An to me when you go out."

"Yes, master, the young man is over here." He Wen took a bow and bowed, and took a few steps back and turned to leave the hall. In a short while, Wang An, the chief horse master in the ranch, trotted over.

"Master, is there anything?" Before entering the door, Wang An asked Li Jihe with a voice, and said anxiously: "There are a few mares in the West Farm giving birth to cubs. If you have anything, please tell me quickly. After that, I will rush over."

"Isn't it just a baby? What's the big deal?" Li Jihe signaled Wang An to sit down aside indifferently and said, "Your apprentices are not decorations, so how can you do everything yourself?"

"Uh? Haha, aren't this used to it?" Wang An smiled embarrassedly, thinking that his apprentices had learned most of his skills. It was not a big problem to deliver a pony. He felt relieved, so he sat down at the bottom of his head according to their boss's wishes and said, "What's the matter? You tell me."

"It's nothing big. I just want to understand the general situation in our ranch." As a rancher, I don't know how many horses there are in my ranch. Li Jihe asked Wang An without any embarrassment: "I wonder how many healthy horses there are in our ranch now?"

"It's not counting the newborn baby and pregnant mare," Wang Anji replied without hesitation when he heard Li Jihe's question: "There should be more than 30,000 strong horses that can meet the requirements. If there is another year, with the secret recipe ingredients given to me by our boss, the number of horses will be able to be overturned."

"Thirty thousand horses? It's not a decimal." Li Jihe nodded gently, and said to Wang An again: "You can prepare these days, find a few trustworthy assistants, and follow the previous prescriptions, and be sure to tame the 30,000 horses within two months."
