For Yan Liqiang, the so-called personal soldiers of the governor were just a job of walking and feeding horses.

Huangfu Qianqi originally had a groom, so every time Yan Liqiang went to the Governor's Mansion, the groom who took care of the horses for the Governor directly reminded Yan Liqiang of the scene when Sun Wukong was in the Bi Ma Wen.

However, Yan Liqiang was not a spoiled person. Based on the principle that three people must have their own masters, he would be polite to the groom every time he went there and asked without shame. After two months of personal soldiers, Yan Liqiang learned the groom's ability to take care of the Xilongma, which was a considerable gain.

The last time Yan Liqiang met Huangfu Qianqi was last month. After autumn every year, the cavalry of the Heike tribe was harassed and abducted the border between Ganzhou and Fengzhou at the most. The people of the Heike tribe called this Caogu. I heard that the harassment of the Heike tribe was increasing this year, so last month, he saw that the weather was getting colder, so Huangfu Qianqi took several other personal soldiers and a battalion of cavalry to patrol at Baishi Pass west of Pingxi County.

Outside Baishi Pass, it is close to Qiyun Mountain. Although the Heike tribe does not have a direct border with Pingxi County, and Pingxi County has been harassed by the Heike tribe for a few times, Huangfu Qianqi is still a little worried and can only go there in person.

Because Yan Liqiang wanted to study in the National Museum, before going, Huangfu Qianqi met Yan Liqiang and encouraged him, and finally let Yan Liqiang stay.

Huangfu Qianqi had four rhinoceros dragon horses. This time he went to Huangfu Qianqi with two, and two left in Pingxi City. Therefore, Yan Liqiang also came to the Governor's Mansion every seven days as usual to take good care of Huangfu Qianqi's rhinoceros dragon horses.

"It snowed last night, so today's stable should add some hay to keep the ground dry. The rhinoceros and dragon horses are more at ease when sleeping. Ordinary horses sleep on their feet while they usually sleep on their feet. But when it is cold, it will be a bit like a rhino, curling down on its legs and sleeping on its tumbling side. Try to close the windows of the stables. If it snows heavily at night, then when feeding the evening feed, feed each rhinoceros and dragon horse half a pound of small black beans soaked in white wine. In this way, the rhinoceros and dragon horses will not lose weight and will be energetic every day..."

In the stables of the Governor's Mansion, Yan Liqiang and the groom cleaned the stables together, spread dried straws to the rhinoceros and dragon horses' room, added evening materials, and cleaned the two rhinoceros and dragon horses smoothly. While playing with Yan Liqiang, the groom explained, and also passed on his horse feeding skills to Yan Liqiang.

Finally, the two rhino dragon horses were served. Yan Liqiang clapped his hands, washed his hands in the pool next to him, and took off the coat he wore when he was doing dirty work. "Uncle Hu, I'll be here today, I'll go back. I'll come back in a few days. I'll trouble you these days!"

"No trouble, no trouble..." Uncle Hu, a groom, smiled honestly, "I want to thank the wine and beef that my son brought me today. It's too wasteful..."

"Hahaha, you learned how to feed horses with Uncle Hu. How can you do it every time you come empty-handed? Next time I will bring some good wine to Uncle Hu..."

"Young Master, you will follow the Governor in the future and will definitely have a bright future..."

"Haha, then thank you Uncle Hu Jiyan..."

Saying goodbye to the groom uncle Hu, Yan Liqiang walked out of the Governor's Mansion from the side door of the Governor's Mansion. At this time, the sky was already a little dark, but the snow was still falling, and the temperature seemed to be colder than during the day, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the street. Many of the shops on the street were made of examples, with only a few restaurants, restaurants, inns, etc., and the lanterns outside the shops were still hung. In this cold night, it made people feel much warmer.

A snowflake fell from the sky and just fell into Yan Liqiang's collar. The little coldness made Yan Liqiang cheer up again.

Yan Liqiang pulled the dog-skin hat on his head, surrounded the scarf around his neck twice, revealing only half of his face, and looked at the streets on both sides. During the day, there were people pulling carts on the street. Now, there were not even one person pulling carts on the street, and there were not many pedestrians. I guess he could only walk to Sanyuan Street with his legs.

Fortunately, it is in Pingxi City, no matter how far you walk, it is not enough to walk back home by yourself.

Yan Liqiang walked slowly on the street, heading towards the courtyard.

...

Half an hour later, Yan Liqiang had already walked far away from the Governor's Mansion and it was completely dark.

In order to return to the courtyard earlier, Yan Liqiang took shortcuts that he rarely walked on in daily life, including those small streets outside the streets in Pingxi City and alleys in residential areas.

Yan Liqiang had just walked through the alley of a commercial area when he heard the sound of a carriage behind him. He even took the initiative to give in to the roadside.

The carriage drove past Yan Liqiang, but did not stop, and continued to drive forward.

Yan Liqiang glanced at the carriage. The carriage was a little old, with a slightly long carriage. It was a truck that transported goods. A coachman sat in the front, waving his whip and driving the car. The cloak was snowing, and he didn't notice Yan Liqiang walking on the roadside.

On the road ahead, there happened to be a tavern. There was a row of lanterns hanging outside the tavern, illuminating the road outside the tavern. When the carriage drove past the road outside the tavern, Yan Liqiang, who was walking behind the carriage, seemed to be stabbed, and his steps stopped suddenly, staring blankly at the back of the carriage driver who was leaving.

Just at that moment, under the light of a lantern hanging outside the tavern, the back of the carriage driver appeared in the light. It was that moment that Yan Liqiang clearly saw the outline of the side behind the carriage driver's head.

The carriageman also wore a dog-skin hat and a thick cotton-padded jacket, but some of the skin was exposed between the coachman's hat and the collar of the cotton-padded jacket.

The right ear of the carriageman had disappeared, and was flat under the brim of the hat, and on the neck below the ear, a snake-like trace that had not yet faded could be seen on the exposed inches of skin.

The lost ears, the trace on the neck... Isn't that carriageman the Shatu man who was smashed by his ears at the city gate that day?

Although I didn't see the face of the carriageman, the scars on the man's ears, neck, and back would never be wrong.

The Shatu man was not wearing the dress of the Shatu man at this moment, but wearing the clothes of the Han people, wrapping himself tightly. He drove out in a carriage so late, away from the urban area where the Shatu man was. Everything revealed a strangeness.

The first thing Yan Liqiang thought of was not the trap of the Bushatu people, but in a second thought, he denied this idea because he was walking on a small road today, and many roads were temporarily decided. Even if the Shatu people knew that he was going to come out of the Governor's Mansion today, it was impossible to calculate which path he was going to take, and then set up a trap on the road waiting for him.

After trying the tavern less than fifty meters, the carriage in front turned to the left and turned to another road next to it.
