Volume Two, Chapter Nine, Taming the Horse
Except for the gaze of the manor and the valley Changsun Sheng, the farmland in front is fully visible, and there are no horses.
Changsun Sheng pointed to the valley: "Third brother, is there a wild horse here?"
Yang Tian smiled slightly: "Of course not, come with me." He grabbed his horse's belly and walked straight towards the courtyard.
As soon as Yang Tian arrived at the gate of the manor, the gate of the manor opened immediately. Several servants walked out of it and led the horses for the two. Changsun Sheng was surprised to find that these servants had clearly seen them in the small courtyard in Chang'an.
Changsun Sheng stammered: "Third brother, you... don't tell me that this manor belongs to you."
"It wasn't before, but now it's right now. Go in and take a look."
Changsun Sheng was surprised to keep his mouth shut. From the intercourse these days, he knew a little about Yang Tian. Not long after giving the small courtyard in the city to Li Gang, he didn't expect to buy another courtyard here. Judging from the area of this courtyard, it would cost at least thousands of guan. Yang Tian did not get so much money.
When you walk into the manor, Changsun Sheng is so dazzling that he can see the pavilions, towers, ponds and pavilions inside, which are extremely exquisitely made, with gardens and rockery.
Changsun Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, this manor is really yours. How much does it cost?"
"Yeah, it's not expensive. This manor, including the fertile fields outside, only cost less than 20,000 yuan in total." Yang Tian replied lightly.
There were at least thousands of acres of fertile land outside, 20,000 guan. If it were a year ago, these fertile land alone would not only be the price, but it was indeed not expensive. This was thanks to the new emperor's ascension. Emperor Xuan of Zhou had been on the throne for less than four months. Now he has killed a prince, five generals, and was also delegated and demoted, and more people were demoted. All the uncles were driven out of Chang'an by Emperor Xuan of Zhou, causing Chang'an's housing prices and land to depreciate rapidly.
This farm is the property of an official who has just been demoted. Their family was sent to other places and urgently needed money, so they were sold at a cheap price, probably less than half of the normal price.
Despite this, Changsun Sheng was shocked. He was an imperial guard and guarding the palace. His salary was considered generous. He only had more than 90 guan and 20,000 guan a year. Changsun Sheng's salary would have to be accumulated for more than 200 years.
Changsun Sheng didn't bother to sigh. He had already heard the horse's neighing sound. The horse's screams had never been loud. Changsun Sheng knew it was a good horse and hurriedly ran towards the horse's sound.
After passing a small lake, a garden, and two halls, Changsun Sheng came to the stable. The stable covers a large area, at least dozens of acres, and there is also a racecourse outside. There are more than ten good horses on the racecourse, and 18 people including Luo Yi were walking along with a horse.
This is the secret that Yang Tian taught them to ride a horse. For example, if they want to learn how to ride a horse, they must first be familiar with their horses.
Although there were all good horses in the field, Changsun Sheng's eyes did not stop on them, staring at a tall horse with a black body in the stable. The sound of the sound just now was it.
Changsun Sheng walked in and saw that the horse had a tall skeleton, and its muscles were all shaped, streamlined. There was no miscellaneous hair on its body. There were only four horses' hooves, and white hair was faintly exposed. Changsun Sheng remembered the horse scriptures he had read before and took off it: "Dark clouds cover snow, this is dark clouds cover snow."
Yang Tian nodded: "No, it's just dark clouds covering the snow."
It is said that Xiang Yu's mount, the black horse, is a dark cloud covering snow. It can travel thousands of miles a day and walk on the water like walking on flat ground. Although it may be exaggerated, this horse can be seen as a good horse from its appearance alone.
The dark cloud Gaixue had a saddle on his body. This saddle might make it uncomfortable. From time to time, he neighed and grinded his body on the pillars of the stable, trying to get the saddle down. When he saw Changsun Sheng and others coming, he stopped, opened his urethra wide and looked at them.
The more Changsun Sheng looked at him, the more he became more and more happy. He reached out and wanted to mold Wuyun Gaixue. "Huh," Wuyun Gaixue was not polite and opened his mouth to bite Changsun Sheng's hand. If Changsun Sheng hadn't shrunk quickly, he would have been bitten.
Seeing Changsun Sheng coming, Luo Yi and others left their horses and hurriedly followed to watch the fun. No one would like to see this horse. Unfortunately, the dark clouds were unruly. Just yesterday, five guards had bitten them to saddle them, and several others were almost kicked and broken. Yang Tian strictly prohibited any of the eighteen teenagers from approaching the horse.
Changsun Sheng put all his thoughts on this dark cloud Gaixue. Seeing that the horse was locked by iron chains, he said to Yang Tian: "Third brother, let someone remove the iron chains of the horse."
Yang Tian was a little worried: "Second brother, you have to be careful, dark clouds and snow are a wild horse."
This horse was left by the former owner of the manor. It is said that when he bought it, it cost the owner 1,500 stagnant. However, the owner had no way to tame it for three months. Now that he wanted to leave Chang'an, he had to leave this unruly horse, and even did not ask for a copper coin from Yang Tian.
When the former owner of the horse bought it from the horse dealer, according to the horse dealer, at least five of the best horse catchers died in order to capture the horse, and there were no less than ten good men who wanted to tame it, either died or injured. If anyone around Yang Tian could tame it, the most suitable one was Changsun Sheng.
Tie Lian was opened with a bang, and Wuyun Gaixue looked at the open stable door in confusion. Five months ago, it was still a horse king who was free on the grassland. Since being trapped with a mare, I don’t know how many people wanted to tame it, but they were killed or injured by it. Wuyun Gaixue was locked tightly by the iron chain, and no one dared to touch it.
Three months after arriving at this manor, someone wanted to tame it at first. After several casualties and injuries, Wuyun Gaixue locked the chains again and kept trapped in the stable. Today, it was opened again. Wuyun Gaixue became excited, and finally someone wanted to die again. It looked up at the crowd outside, and proudly raised its head and walked out of the stable.
Yang Tian looked at Wu Yun Gaixue walking out, and hurriedly took Luo Yi and others to withdraw from a hundred steps away. Only Changsun Sheng was left alone. Wu Yun Gaixue immediately knew his opponent this time. This time the opponent was taller than the people before, and his eyes were much sharper than those who wanted to conquer it before. Wu Yun Gaixue had a very bad premonition.
