After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 11 Riding Horses in the Bustling City

   Eating, drinking, making trouble, ostentatiously, and disregarding elders, these seem to have not changed.

   "Really?" He Chunhua glanced at her meaningfully, "I'm not in the house recently, you seldom eat with him, right?"

  Ying Hongchan changed color: "Master, it's Lingchuan who doesn't want to go home! In the past ten days, it's good for him to go home for dinner for two days."

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

   "Of course." Mrs. Ying agreed, as before, "In any case, Lingchuan is also the son of He's eldest son."

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

  The butler, Old Mo, appeared out of nowhere and stood beside him.

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

  He sighed: "I'm not worried about this one, but the situation in the east. We have lost contact with the royal court for too long. I always feel that chaos is imminent."

   "Even if it is doom, the master can get through it safely." Butler Wu said firmly, "It has always been like this."

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

   After ten days, the weather was calm.

  The day when Hongya Road will be closed is getting closer, more and more merchants are entering and leaving Heishui City, and the Governor He is getting more and more busy. However, the communication interruption between Qiansong County and the eastern part of Yuan Kingdom has not improved.

  Master He continued to show off his might.

  The days are really hundred (shun) without (wind) talk (shun) Lai (water), he doesn't know how to be quiet.

  He Chunhua has been busy like a windmill recently, and has no time to go home for dinner. Mrs. Ying didn't call her two children, they all ate their own food, and He Lingchuan was still happy and relaxed.

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

  However, unlike most people’s imagination, second-generation officials like He Lingchuan usually don’t need to pay for themselves 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 obtaining the customs clearance order for the Liu family, and the caravan had returned safely.

  Liu Baobao said "use a light meal" in his mouth, but all the rare game was served on the table, and the wine was also a fine wine that the Liu family had treasured for 20 years.

   Not to mention that the beauty serving the wine is Liu Baobao's favorite concubine, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, she glances at He Lingchuan, and pours him the most diligently.

  Liu Baobao saw it, and secretly scolded the little bitch, but put on a face full of pity: "Young master, you really have to wait until you are eighteen to start eating meat?"

   "Hmm." Putting down the red stewed venison, He Lingchuan ordered a plate of plum pickled peanuts, two peanuts and a sip of wine.

  After eating big fish, big meat, and delicacies of wild game for almost two months, he suddenly missed pickled vegetables, sanzi noodles, big wontons with scallion and sugar pancakes.

   I used to pay off the loan at the beginning of the previous month, and I had to eat these at the end of the month.

  But now that he saw the biscuit stand on the side of the road, he still had the urge to go downstairs and buy another one.

   If he hasn't eaten for a long time, his soul will miss it.

  It's like a middle-aged man who married Bai Fumei and reached the pinnacle of his life. When he dreams back at midnight, he will occasionally think of his first love who looks like noodles in clear soup.

   Just then, there was a commotion outside.

  Liu Baobao invited him to have dinner in the box on the second floor of Hongyan Building, where he was sitting by the sidewalk, with the street outside the window.

  He Lingchuan looked out of the window, just in time to see the originally crowded crowd suddenly parting to the two sides, followed by two tall horses galloping towards.

  He let out a slight snort, and at a glance he recognized that the galloping horse in the middle of the street was actually not a pure steed, but a hybrid with the blood of a beast. Its symbol is a big head, sharp teeth, a blue-red body, and red-red bulging eyes.

   This kind of riding beast is named Lima, which inherits the speedy movement and excellent endurance of the refuting 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 selected from a thousand miles may not be able to exchange for a brutal horse.

  Of course, Lima also has a level difference between upper, middle and lower. He Lingchuan's favorite horse is Li Ma, which was a gift from the small country in the west to the prefect of Qiansong County. It was carefully selected and of high quality, but it was only on par with the two bottom horses.

  Ma Shang is like this, who is he?

  Two passengers, one in front of the other, in the front is a young man in white robe, seventeen or eighteen years old, with slender eyebrows and clear eyes; in the back is a man in gray clothes, wearing a bamboo hat, whose face cannot be seen from He Lingchuan's perspective.

   Right in front of the white-robed boy, there was a goose-egg-sized spirit bead hanging in mid-air, spinning non-stop, and the crowd in front of the horse was also pushed away by invisible energy, leaving a way in the middle.

  The vigor was not gentle, and the passers-by were thrown to the side. A fat man fell on the pavement behind, and crushed the hot rice cakes into pancakes.

   Of course the trafficker would not do it, and the two quarreled.

  This is a world of strange powers and gods, He Lingchuan was not surprised, he just let out a sigh: "Riding a horse in a busy city is so majestic."

All the big cities in Yuan Kingdom have regulations about dismounting horses and leading them. Although Heishui City allows people to ride, the speed must be slow, and they are not allowed to gallop. Another punishment is not negligent.

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

  Hearing this, Liu Baobao took a peek at He Lingchuan, thinking that you are always like this?

  The two riders are about to pass under the restaurant. This is a "T"-shaped street intersection. After turning into the auxiliary road, the number of pedestrians will be at least half.

   At this moment, a boy ran by the side of the road, and the rattle was hit by a pedestrian and flew out of his hand. It just happened to land in the middle of the street!

  The child immediately rushed out to pick up toys.

  He stood right in front of the brutal horse.

  His parents exclaimed and rushed from behind, but were blocked by the crowd in front, and rescue was unable to arrive.

   Immediately the passengers did not intend to slow down, so at most two seconds, the huge horseshoes would run over the young children.

   It's like this again! He Lingchuan sighed secretly, why are there children drilling the chassis in any world?

   Fortunately, today is not what it used to be, and he no longer needs 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 struck them down with shaking hands.

  The two copper coins were struck directly in front of the horse, more than three feet apart. If the passengers continue to ride the horse, the horse's legs or stomach will probably be hit by copper coins. The reason for hitting two is to prevent the passengers from shooting down, and the speed of the horse will not decrease.

  Uncle Hao's two copper coins are not easy to pick up. He Lingchuan had seen him piercing Xiong Xiazi's head with a copper coin. Needless to say, the hardness of the big bear's skull is at least no worse than the two brutal horses below.

  The young man in white robe below judged the situation, and as expected, he reined in severely. Lima Xiyuyu stood up and came to a sudden stop, the horse's hoof was less than seven feet away from the child on the ground.
