Five Hundred and Seventy-Nine: Horse Plague in Northern Xinjiang (6)

Does Xiaobai have the ability to throw Jiang Pengji off the horse?

As it turns out, it has the will but not the guts.

The perception of animals is much stronger than that of humans, and the more spiritual animals are, the stronger they are.

When ordinary people face Jiang Pengji with full momentum, they will only feel that this person's aura is as high as two meters and eighty, majestic and unfathomable, but in the eyes of these animals, it is a naked threat, as if they have met the most terrible natural enemy.

Let alone Xiaobai, a horse that grew up in a horse farm, even a wild and fierce mustang will be involuntarily frightened when it encounters Jiang Pengji.

Why does Jiang Pengji like Changsheng from Feng Jin's family so much?

Because children are as sensitive as animals when they are ignorant. Changsheng is not afraid of her, but is close to her, so of course she likes him.

Similarly, Xiaobai is so obedient, she can't hate him.

Xiaobai knows that "a man who knows the times is a hero", runs fast and steady, and has never made any mistakes in his instructions.

Jiang Pengji rode it to hunt, thinking that it would be frightened by the prey, but it turned out that it was quite courageous. Occasionally, some small prey jumped out of the bushes, but it was calm and composed. Its endurance, running speed, body shape... all kinds of qualities did not disappoint its bloodline.

Jiang Pengji rode on Xiaobai's horse, holding Dabai's reins in her hand.

While hunting, she walked Dabai to get some fresh air.

Staying in the stable all day, Dabai is pregnant, and if she doesn't go out to get some fresh air, who can suppress her if she gets angry?

After running a circle, Xiaobai's performance was quite satisfactory, and Jiang Pengji allowed it to live in her Dabai's VIP stable.

Jiang Pengji returned with a full load of prey. Now this season is the time when the prey is fat and delicious, and the barbecue tastes special.

But...

"Dabai is pregnant, keep an eye on her." She told the groom who was looking after Dabai, "If Xiaobai is a little agitated, separate them."

The groom nodded and bowed, and quickly agreed.

Dabai was reluctantly led back to the stable by the groom. He kept looking back along the way, which made Jiang Pengji feel very guilty.

This was a small episode.

Jiang Pengji told Li Yun and others as a funny story.

The construction of Maolin County, Cheng'an County and Jiaoping County is still in full swing. Because a large number of refugees and the escaped Qingyi Army and Red Lotus Sect were absorbed in the past six months, plus the prisoners of war captured before, there is no shortage of people for construction in all aspects. Everyone survived the busiest period, and the rest of the things were done according to the regulations. Qi Guanrang finally had a break and breathed a sigh of relief.

After arranging the affairs of each county, several people took a break and returned to Xiangyang County for two days.

Li Yun was originally busy in Maolin County. Later, Cheng'an County was determined to be a trial county for military farming, so he was transferred to Cheng'an County to help. This guy has a great talent for farmland. In the past six months, the reclamation and distribution of wasteland have been completed for the most part.

Hearing that Dabai was pregnant, and the stallion was a good warhorse with half the blood of the Ferghana horse of the Shalan Kingdom, he couldn't help but be moved.

"My Lord--"

Jiang Pengji turned the barbecue and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If Dabai gives birth, can the foal be given to Yun as a reward?"

As soon as Li Yun opened his mouth, a sharp gaze gathered on him.

Which man doesn't love horses?

Dabai's quality is here, and the stallion is a sturdy warhorse with the blood of the Ferghana horse. How bad can the offspring of the two be?

For a military general, if he can get a warhorse that is spiritual, of good quality, and in tune with his own mind, it will be like a tiger with wings on the battlefield, and it is even more valuable. As soon as Li Yun opened his mouth, he reserved a good horse with great potential in advance.

It's a pity that I didn't speak in advance, and Li Yun got ahead of me.

Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Okay, if you like it, take it away."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Li Yun's cheeks were flushed with joy, not knowing whether it was because of the alcohol or because he was too happy.

A group of people were having a barbecue in the government hall, the scene was too beautiful, and the style was too strange.

This was Yang Si's first time in Xiangyang County, and it was also his first time to attend a gathering of this nature.

Well, it was also the first time to use a glass baking tray that was hard to find outside to barbecue meat, and he felt that the value of each piece of meat was sublimated.

He half-squinted his eyes and scanned Jiang Pengji's men, frowning slightly.

Logically speaking, the situation in the northern border was precarious, why didn't these people seem to be nervous at all, but instead ate barbecue with great enthusiasm?

Especially Feng Zhen, who was wearing old clothes and had drunk so much that his eyes were blurry, as if his bones were soft, and he leaned crookedly on Wei Ci.

Wei Ci sighed, but it was not easy to push Feng Zhen away.

The barbecue was almost finished, and Qi Guan asked several people to look at each other, and then Feng Jin was pushed out.

He bowed and said, "My lord, according to the news from Chongzhou, the northern border has already prepared its troops. How should we deal with it?"

Several counselors came back from the other three counties, not only to eat such a barbecue, but also to discuss countermeasures.

Jiang Pengji chewed the meat in her mouth a few times and swallowed it.

She said quite bachelor, "When the enemy comes, the generals will stop it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it. Otherwise, what else can we do?"

Everyone: "..."

Feng Jin sighed, and couldn't help but say intimately, "My lord, don't joke with Jin, let's talk about serious things."

"I am also serious. Now we are having a barbecue party. Why talk about these annoying serious things."

Jiang Pengji said indifferently.

Yang Si and Feng Zhen frowned subconsciously.

So unreliable?

Wei Ci smiled and smoothed things over, "My lord has a countermeasure in mind, it is indeed not suitable to say it in this occasion, and it ruined everyone's fun."

Feng Jin secretly glanced at Wei Ci, who looked natural, as if Jiang Pengji really had a plan.

Jiang Pengji said, "I'm waiting for news. If the news is true, everyone should have a good time this year and don't worry about the threat from the northern border. They don't need to find us bad luck next year. In two years, we will take the initiative to find them in the northern border! Eat and drink as you should, and have fun."

Yang Si secretly glanced at Wei Ci, and always felt that Wei Ci and this lord had reached some unspeakable tacit understanding.

"What news is County Magistrate Liu waiting for?"

Yang Si had never surrendered, and he addressed Jiang Pengji differently from others.

"News from the northern border horse farm." Jiang Pengji had just finished speaking when a messenger came over from outside, half-knelt on the ground, holding a bamboo slip in both hands. She smiled, without any anger on her face, and said, "I'll go and see if it's good news or bad news."

Unfolding it, the content of the letter inside made her lips rise.

Wei Ci asked, "Good or bad?"

"Of course it's good." Jiang Pengji said, "Now, Beijiang can't jump up anymore."

It's true that the butterfly effect has changed many things, but some iconic events still happened as expected.

Shalan Country is thousands of miles away from Beijiang, and even farther away from the heartland of the Central Plains. They selected the best Ferghana horses from their country and sold them to Beijiang. How could they know that these horses were infected with horse plague during transportation? Horse plague has an incubation period, and several horses died along the way. The horse dealers didn't notice it, just thinking that they were not used to the climate and soil. These horses were not adapted to the foreign environment. How could they know that they were already infected?

When they arrived in Beijiang, the horse dealers sold the living Ferghana horses at a high price, which hurt the largest horse farms in Beijiang!
