Chapter 10-11: Riding a Horse in a Busy City

Eating, drinking, causing trouble, showing off in public, and being disrespectful, none of this seems to have changed.

"Really?" He Chunhua gave her a meaningful look, "I've been away from the house recently, so you rarely eat with him, right?"

Ying Hongchan's expression changed: "Master, it's Lingchuan who doesn't want to go home! It would be good if he went back home for dinner two days in the past ten days."

He Chunhua sighed: "You should be more considerate of him. After all, he is almost sixteen."

"Of course." Mrs. Ying agreed, as before, "Anyway, Lingchuan is also the eldest son of He."

Mrs. Ying returned to her room. He Chunhua looked at her back and let out a long breath.

The housekeeper Lao Mo appeared out of nowhere and stood beside him.

He Chunhua said with his hands behind his back: "The people sent by Donglai Mansion to track the leopard demon disappeared when they reached Blackwater City. If the matter is so important, they will not let it go. I'm afraid there will be follow-up to this matter."

He sighed: "What I am most worried about is not this one, but the situation in the east. Our contact with Wang Ting has been cut off for too long. I always feel that chaos is coming."

"Even if it is a disaster, I can survive it safely." Butler Wu said firmly, "It has always been like this."

￥￥￥￥￥

For another ten days, everything was calm.

The day when Hongya Road is closing is getting closer and closer, more and more merchants are coming in and out of Blackwater City, Governor He is getting busier and busier, and the communication interruption between Qiansong County and the eastern part of Yuan Kingdom has not improved.

Young Master He continued to show off his power.

The days were really smooth and smooth, and he didn't know how to make the years quieter.

He Chunhua has been as busy as a windmill recently and has no time to go home for dinner. Mrs. Ying did not gather the two children together. They all have their own meals. He Lingchuan is still happy and relaxed.

Compared to Mrs. Ying, He Chunhua is a loving father.

But unlike what most people imagine, second-generation officials like He Lingchuan usually don't have to pay for it when they go out to eat, drink and have fun. For example, today Liu Baobao invited him to Hongyan Tower for dinner again. The reason was to thank He Lingchuan for getting the customs clearance order for the Liu family, and the caravan had returned safely.

Liu Baobao said, "It's a simple meal," but what was served on the table was all rare game, and the wine was also a fine wine that the Liu family had collected for twenty years.

Not to mention that the beauty serving the wine was Liu Baobao's favorite concubine. She glanced at He Lingchuan with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes and was the most diligent in pouring wine for him.

Liu Baobao saw this and secretly cursed the little bitch, but then put on a face full of pity: "Young Master, do you really have to wait until you are eighteen to eat meat?"

"Uh-huh." Putting down the braised venison, He Lingchuan ordered a plate of plum-pickled peanuts, two peanuts and a sip of wine.

After eating large amounts of fish, meat, and delicacies for almost two months, he suddenly missed eating pickled vegetables, rice dumplings, and scallion-sugar sesame pancakes and large wontons.

In the past, when the loan was repaid at the beginning of the month, this was what I had to eat at the end of the month.

But now that he saw the sesame cake stall on the roadside, he actually had the urge to go downstairs and buy another one.

If he doesn't eat for a long time, his soul will miss it.

Just like a middle-aged man who married a rich and beautiful woman and reached the pinnacle of his life, when he dreams back at midnight, he will occasionally think of his first love, who was as plain as noodles in clear soup.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside.

Liu Baobao invited him to have dinner in the private room on the second floor of Hongyan Building. He was sitting by the balcony, with the street in the middle of the window.

He Lingchuan poked his head out of the window and saw the originally crowded crowd suddenly split to both sides, followed by two tall horses galloping towards them.

He let out a soft sigh, and he could tell at a glance that the horse galloping in the middle of the street was not a pure horse, but a hybrid with the blood of a beast. Its symbol is a big head, sharp teeth, a bluish-red body, and red and bulging eyes.

This kind of riding beast is named the Brutal Horse. It inherits the wind-like movement and excellent endurance of the barge beast. It also has a violent personality and likes to eat flesh and blood. It can output combat power on the battlefield. Twenty good horses picked from a thousand miles may not be exchanged for one violent horse.

Of course, there are also differences in levels between upper, middle and lower horses. He Lingchuan's favorite horse is the ruthless horse. It was a gift from a small country in the west to the prefect of Qiansong County. It is carefully selected and of high quality, but it is only between the two horses below.

If Ma Shang is like this, who is he?

The two passengers were one behind the other. The one in front was a young man in white robes. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with thin eyebrows and clear eyes. The one in the back was a man in gray clothes, wearing a bamboo hat. From He Lingchuan's perspective, his face could not be seen.

Directly in front of the white-robed young man, there was a goose egg-sized spiritual bead hanging in the air, spinning and spinning, while the crowd in front of the horse was also squeezed away by invisible energy, leaving a path in the middle.

The energy was not gentle, and pedestrians were thrown around. A fat man fell on the stall at the back and crushed the hot rice cakes into pancakes.

Of course the dealer refused, and the two had a quarrel.

This is a world of strange powers and chaotic gods. He Lingchuan was not surprised, and just chuckled: "The horses are riding in the bustling city, so majestic."

The big cities in Yuan Kingdom all have regulations on dismounting and leading people. Although Blackwater City allows people to ride, they must do so at a slow speed and are never allowed to gallop. Otherwise, they will be dragged down and beaten with twenty whips, fined five taels of silver, and injured. Don’t neglect the punishment.

The local folk customs are tough, and the punishments and regulations must be equally tough.

Hearing this, Liu Baobao glanced at He Lingchuan and thought, aren't you usually like this?

The two riders were about to pass under the restaurant, which was a "T"-shaped street intersection. After turning into the auxiliary road, the number of pedestrians was at least half. The boy in white robe immediately put away the ball. After all, releasing this thing would consume strength.

At this moment, a boy ran by the roadside. His rattle was hit by a pedestrian and flew out of his hand. By chance, it landed in the middle of the street!

The child immediately rushed out to pick up the toy.

He stood in front of the fierce horse.

His parents screamed and rushed from behind, but were blocked by the crowd in front and could not rescue him in time.

The passengers on the horse did not intend to slow down, so in two seconds at most, the huge horse hoof would run over the child.

It's like this again! He Lingchuan sighed secretly, why do children drill into the chassis in every world?

Fortunately, things are different now, and he doesn't need to do it himself.

"Uncle Hao!" He Lingchuan held his chin with one hand and pointed down with the other.

Uncle Hao, who had been standing beside him as an invisible man, took out two copper coins and shook his hand to hit them.

Both copper coins hit the front of the fierce horse, more than three feet apart. If the passengers continue to ride the horse, the horse's legs or belly will most likely be hit by the copper coins. The reason for hitting two coins is to prevent passengers from hitting them and the horse's speed will not decrease.

Uncle Hao's two copper coins are not easy to catch. He Lingchuan has seen him use copper coins to hit the blind bear's head. Needless to say, the bear's skull was as hard as the two fierce horses below.

The young man in white robes judged the situation and pulled the reins hard. The fierce horse Xi Yuyu stood up and braked suddenly, with its hoof less than seven feet away from the child on the ground.
