Chapter 2: People in the City, No Teenagers Chapter 44: A Thousand Miles of Horses
After hearing that Marshal Wei had agreed to the subsequent procedures, he naturally didn't have to worry about the Wei family and country's reaction. After thanking him, he pulled Li Chengjie out to accompany him to pick a good horse and leave the mountain to complete the corresponding procedures here...
The horses stored in the Beijing Guards were all war horses, each of which was extremely heroic. One of them was the thinnest one, and even if they were of the size, it was the most conspicuous horse among the many brown horses. Why was it called a horse? Of course, this white horse was not useful and was old. It was because the people he had once made great achievements in military affairs, but they died with the enemy. It was the horse who brought back the owner's body, so they stayed in the army for retirement.
When Mu Youzhi first saw this white horse, he was already happy, and when he looked at the horse, there was only the white horse, looking at him.
Li Chengjie could naturally feel that his junior brother actually took a fancy to the white horse.
Following behind them were the soldiers who managed the stable. The order he received was to let them choose a good horse. The soldier also followed them and told them the origin of the white horse. The soldier meant that you could choose a horse at will, but the white one might not work.
Mu Youzhi was already a little fond of it, but when he listened to the story told by the soldier, he was even more moved. He looked at his senior brother with a eager look. In fact, he knew that whether he could take the horse away depends on the senior brother. The two of them clearly heard the meaning of the soldier's words.
Li Chengjie did not act impulsively, but walked to the white horse, reached out to touch the horse's head, and the horse did not resist. Although the white horse was old, the hair was still very delicate and soft. Then, Li Chengjie touched from top to bottom until he covered the horse's eyes, and his hands were not sliding. Generally, if the horse's eyes were suddenly blocked and there was no light, the horse should instinctively take a few steps back, but the horse did not.
Yes, it is obvious that the horse has been properly trained on the battlefield. Although it is old, its quality is still there. Li Chengjie put his other hand in front of the horse's nose, felt the horse's breathing, and then made further judgments on the horse. He breathed evenly and did not feel short of breath. Although this horse is old compared to a normal horse, compared with the breed of this horse, it should have just reached its prime, which is far less than the soldiers said.
The book once said, "A horse that can be eaten thousands of miles may be eaten by grain or stone. The horse that eats a horse does not know that it can eat thousands of miles. It is a horse that has the ability to eat thousands of miles, but it is not enough to eat enough, and its talent is beautiful. And if you want to be eaten with regular horses, how can you ask for it to be able to eat thousands of miles?" These people are really only able to feed, but not raise...
"Junior brother, let's choose this horse. I think this horse is very good, too." Li Chengjie naturally didn't explain so much to them. As long as the junior brother likes it, it's good to ask for it.
"Young Master, is it because the young man was useless just now?" the soldier asked. Why bother? There are so many strong horses here, why should I choose this thin horse? Moreover, this is a loyal and righteous horse, who stays here to spend my old age.
"It is precisely because this horse is spiritual that you should not be buried like this. Retirement here is not the ambition of this horse, it also longs to gallop thousands of miles." Li Chengjie thought about it and should explain it.
"Gathering thousands of miles? Look at the fatigue in the horse's eyes. You can't ignore it if your hands block it." The soldier didn't know where these two people came from, but he just felt that they were very confused at this time, and he was kind-hearted.
"Let me ask you, is the order you received just now, what Marshal Wei said, can I choose any horse in this stable?" Mu Youzhi could hear that his senior brother agreed with his vision, and felt that the horse was very spiritual, so he had an idea.
"Yes, ah..." Mu Youzhi suddenly asked this, and the soldier was stunned for a moment.
"Then I will choose this one. You don't need to say much. If it is a big problem for the two brothers, can you afford this crime?" Mu Youzhi was very tough. Without waiting for the soldier to react, she took the horse out and said, "Senior brother, let's go."
The soldier was still thinking here, and what the young master said should make some sense. He was still thinking here that Li Chengjie and Mu Youzhi had already walked away and happened to meet Renshan and finish the work. The three of them went together to the Beijing Guards, and their own territory.
After thinking about it, it was still something wrong. He couldn't say what was wrong. However, seeing that the person had already walked away, the more uneasy he felt. After thinking about it, he should go and say something to the marshal.
In the Wei family's tent, the servant who was in charge of the army went to confess his love. Wei family thought that he had never said that the horse was an accident before. After asking the man to retreat, the successor went to tell Renshan that the horse had to be used for three days and had to return it after using it.
Wei Jiaguo remembered that the person carried by the horse was a general that Your Majesty admired very much, so although this horse was stayed here for his retirement, His Majesty once said that this horse is a reward for meritorious horse, and it is considered a fame and honorable official horse, and should be maintained among these horses.
Wei Jiaguo thought that His Majesty the Emperor would not be so stingy. He would have to go back after riding with others for three days, and then maintaining the situation should not be a big problem.
When Mu Youzhi heard the message from Wei Jiaguo, she felt very stingy. Li Chengjie also felt a little helpless. Just a horse...
However, this horse is really a good horse. The horse's eyes in the stable just now were full of fatigue. However, when Mu Youzhi rode on him, his eyes regained. The galloping along the way was even better than the horse they rode. It was just like the riding skills of his junior brother and he did not notice it.
"There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart, and the second is death in the person." It turns out that the same is true for horses. A good horse that cannot gallop for a thousand miles and still regrets every day. If we cannot show our ambitions in our hearts, we will eventually regret the rest of our lives. Li Chengjie was also thinking about his ideals along the way. The exam is approaching, and we should prepare for the exam. We should not be entitled to it. Just like Marshal Wei, we can accept failure!
"Mr. I'll prepare a pair of ink for Uncle Master. Your uncle, I want to personally describe the appearance of the thief. When Uncle Master is painting, no one must come to disturb me. You can't do it, so go and prepare quickly." Mu Youzhi came to his nephew's territory, and even had the approval of Wei Jiaguo, and spoke very toughly.
"What about me?" Li Chengjie heard Mu Youzhi's words and didn't know what his junior brother wanted to do. He just didn't know if he was here, so he was disturbing...
"Senior brother, you can't count it. You have to paint with me." Mu Youzhi smiled at Senior Brother Li Chengjie.
Li Chengjie heard the laughter full of bad intentions...
After a while, Bi Mo was in place and also freed up an unmanned room for Mu Youzhi and Li Chengjie for both of them to use.
Mu Youzhi was very diligent. After the pen and ink were in place, he hurriedly went to grind the ink, and then threw a sentence to Li Chengjie, "Senior brother, I will grind the ink for you first. You should quickly think about what the thief you saw that day looked like. When you remember it, come and draw it. Hehehe."
When Li Chengjie heard what Wu Youzhi said, he really held down his senior brother and cheated him. He was just a worker... or the kind who didn't have any wages... No, I came here today to help my junior brother... That's right, I remember that person's appearance, it should have been painted by me.
Well, this idea is very clear.
The ink was smoothed out by the branches. Li Chengjie picked up the brush and painted the waiter's appearance according to his memories that day. Children of aristocratic families like Li Chengjie may not be fully proficient, but they must be familiar with the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, literature, and martial arts. Therefore, this portrait painting is naturally not a problem, and the painting is lifelike.
After Li Chengjie finished painting, he asked Mu Youzhi to look at it. It turned out to be very similar. He didn't pay much attention to the person who served tea and poured water. However, when he looked at the portrait, he felt that it must be this person. Regardless of whether he was a thief or not, it was indeed the waiter that day. Mu Youzhi thought about this.
However, after Li Chengjie handed the painting to Mu Youzhi, he asked him a question, "Junior brother, if this person is not a thief, wouldn't you and me destroy this person's entire life?"
After hearing this question from my senior brother, Mu Youzhi did not answer, but instead asked,
"Senior brother, how likely do you think is the first high school pick?"
"Ninety percent" Li Chengjie said truthfully that according to his literary cultivation, he should be sure to win, but there may be one or two dark horses entering, and it is possible that he can win the Sacred Heart and win that 10 percent.
"Senior Brother, how likely do you think you can catch the thief in three days?" Mu Youzhi asked.
"Ninety percent." One is Li Chengjie's confidence in himself, the other is that Li Chengjie already has some ideas, and the third is that Li Chengjie has already developed some ways to solve the illusion mystery, with three points accounting for 90%, and the other is that the thief is no longer in the capital, so how do you ask someone to capture it?
"Senior Brother, do you think the person who stole your items that day was a person related to the stolen saint, whether it was a disciple of the stolen saint, but the person related?"
"Ninety percent." It is definitely not an ordinary thief who can steal that gem from my belt.
"Senior brother, how likely do you think the person who stole your belongings is the person in this portrait?"
"Ninety percent." Judging from the analysis on that day, only that waiter has a chance, and it is very likely, but it is not ruled out that the means are so high that he cannot detect them at all, and he owns 10 percent.
"Junior brother, what do you want to say?" Li Chengjie was a little confused. Does the junior brother think it's enough to be sure? "Junior brother, once this portrait is published, it will ruin this person's life. Even if he is 90% sure, what if..."
"Senior Brother, do you know that 90% of what you say is, in the eyes of junior brother, it is 100%!" Mu Youzhi said loudly.
This sentence also echoed in Li Chengjie's heart and could not be settled for a long time.
"90% of what the senior brother said is, in the junior brother's opinion, it is 100%." How high is the evaluation.
"Senior brother, in my opinion, you are the top scholar in this imperial examination, and the master also believes that you can catch the thief. I agree that you can definitely catch the thief. Even if there is really that, I have my own way. Senior brother doesn't have to worry." Mu Youzhi added, and handed it to the person outside the door to print, post, and look for the person on this portrait.
"Okay." Li Chengjie seemed stupid at this time, and the expression on his face was very complicated and weird. He could only say one word, but he couldn't speak. It seemed that it would take a while to calm down his mind...
