Chapter 0357 The old horse knows the way
Huang Weichang, who was stunned by a slap, touched his hot cheeks and his brain fell into blank. The dozens of guards around him didn't know what to do. Although his boss was beaten in public, the hitter was the famous Du family. They were a small guard, and they were not even a scumbag in front of the Du family!
Du San Shao bowed respectfully to An Yu and said, "After the order of my father, Du Jia came to see the head of the An family, and prepared a little gift. Please accept it with a smile." As soon as he waved his hand, he led four divine white horses over. It was Yunzhou horses, and there was a carriage behind him. I don't know what it contained. Although the carriage was not as big as An Yu himself, it was also a four-wheeled carriage. It was very good in shape and must be the hands of famous masters and craftsmen.
"The Du family leader is really polite. He has not visited your mansion, but because of the itinerary!" An Yu refused: "When I finish the work, I will come to visit you when I finish my work! But this gift, please take it back! I..."
"The An family is so serious! It's just a small gift, but it doesn't mean respect. It's all the food and drinks used on the road, and it's also the Du family's wishes! The An family leader doesn't have to refuse!"
In fact, An Yu was in a hurry and had no time to make some food and drinks. Even with such great love as Yunzhou Ma, An Yu no longer refused and thanked him.
"Why are you still standing there? Open the door!" Du Jia roared at the guards, and the four guards standing by the door looked at each other, and without the consent of Chief Huang, they opened the door directly.
"I thanked the head of the Du family on my behalf, so I'll leave you here! Please!" An Yu turned over and saw the guards beside the door when he walked into the door. He felt a move in his heart and stopped and asked, "Mr. Du San, I have a question or not?"
"Principal An, please speak!" Du Jia walked forward two steps. An Yu glanced at Huang Weichang, smiled slightly, and said, "In fact, it is not an important thing... It is the charge for the population entering the city that Linshan City is really too high. One person has one hundred crystal shells, one horse has fifty crystal shells, and one car has two hundred crystal shells. For us, it does not matter, but for ordinary people... Such things have a great impact on the reputation of Linshan City, and have even hindered the development of Linshan City. I hope that Mr. Du can react to the city lord and appropriately reduce the charges!"
"Okay! I will do the same thing later!" Du Jia responded, and he glanced at Huang Weichang coldly, which scared the latter's body trembled violently.
In fact, the problem of charging foreigners randomly when entering the city gates is more or less the case for every city. Later, the kingdom leaders realized that this would hinder the development of commerce, so they issued a decree to explicitly prohibit such charges. However, it is difficult to completely eliminate it because it is closely related to many vested interest groups.
An Yu naturally knew this, but he also used this point, because the vested interest groups had extremely strict control over charges for the long term of their interests! Like Huang Weichang, he asked for a price of 100 crystal beans per person, but reported to the above that each person had collected ten crystal beans, which was absolutely intolerable for vested interest groups! An Yu only needed to point out this point, and perhaps someone would come to deal with Huang Weichang soon.
After An Yu drove away in a carriage, Du Jia slowly walked to Huang Weichang and asked coldly: "Some things, do you want to give me an explanation alone, or give me an explanation to the city lord?"
...
Linshan City is more than 800 miles away from Luding City, the destination of Anyu and his party. There are several large towns and many small villages along the official road, but Anyu and others don’t know what it is.
When I came out of Linshan City yesterday, it was already half afternoon. I walked on the official road and entered the deep mountains. Before I knew it, the sky was getting darker. An Yu and Liu Jun had not had a good rest, and the women were also exhausted due to fright, so they were drowsy and everyone fell asleep in the carriage.
Horses are quite spiritual, and even if no one is driven, they can walk smoothly along the official path.
"Xilulu-—"
The carriage suddenly paused, and the sound of the neighing horses awakened An Yu and others in an instant. Liu Jun twisted his neck twice and made a crisp sound. He jumped out of the carriage behind him, looked around, and said, "Oh! He actually fell asleep, it was almost dark!"
An Yu also jumped out of the carriage, looked up at the white sky, and said, "Hey, Liu Jun! It's dawn now! We have been walking all night, and I don't know where it is now."
Xiang Zhao and Qingzhu heard the sound of talking in An Yu's car, lifted the curtain and poked his head out. Xiang Zhao said, "There is only one official road leading to Luding City. As long as we extend it, don't turn the direction, we will definitely not be confused!"
"Xilulu-—"
The white Yunzhou horses stood there uneasily, moving their four hooves, and neighed from time to time. Hongzhu jumped out of the carriage behind and asked, "What's wrong with these horses? Are you tired after walking all night? Hungry?"
Liu Jun stretched his body and moved his body, saying, "I must be hungry! Hehe, because I am hungry too!" Xiang Zhao observed the surroundings and said, "If you want to say that horses are hungry, why are only these Yunzhou horses shouting? Other horses should be hungry!"
An Yu gently stroked the horse's neck, frowned slightly, and said, "That's true! This Yunzhou horse is an excellent war horse. Even if you are hungry, you cannot yell for no reason. Therefore, they may have felt some danger and will give a warning! We all have to be careful, the perception of war horses is far above us humans!"
An Yu learned a lot of horse knowledge from the Lü brothers. At this moment, he suddenly felt aroused his heart and said, "Old horses know the way, everyone should know!" An Yu let go of the four Yunzhou horses, put them in their ears and said something, and then said, "We follow these horses and maybe we can find a place of danger!"
"Hey! An Yu, shouldn't we avoid danger? Why do we need to look for danger?" Liu Jun asked in confusion: "Isn't it better to keep moving forward along the official road?"
"The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" will lead to a hundred battles!" An Yu replaced another spare horse into the car and said, "If you don't know what the danger is, how can you talk about hiding?"
"Uh..." Liu Jun wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he had to sigh in confusion and said, "Although it sounds very reasonable, why do I feel like I am trapped in the trap?"
"Tsk! You willow stump, don't be here!" Qingzhu said this and quickly got into the carriage, causing everyone to laugh.
"Xilulu-—"
