In the bustling market, in the backyard of an inconspicuous residential house, a mud wall several feet high was piled up. A strong man in a hemp robe was holding a hemp rope and standing in the courtyard. In front of him stood more than ten horses of different colors. The white horse in the middle was tall and strong, and the yellow horses on both sides were standard in size and had thick limbs. It was the best choice for transporting goods and carrying people. As for the black horse at the end of the tail, it was petite and skinny. Even tourists who came to get horses would not take a second look at it.
"Young heroes, come and take a look. This is a high-grade white horse. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and is brave and good at fighting. It is definitely the best choice for young heroes.”Ma Fan patted the back of his horse and greeted Li Hao and the others with a smile.
"Senior Brother, take a look. This white horse is not bad. Boss, how much is this white horse?”Ying Shan asked as she caressed the horse's face.
" Thirty taels for one horse. If you buy a lot, you can get a discount." Ma Fan stretched out his finger and grinned.
"D * mn, you're robbing me! So expensive." Wang Lin said with widened eyes.
"Young hero, look at this skin color, this fur, this body shape. You get what you pay for. Where can you find such a good horse?”Ma Fan immediately praised.
"Senior Brother, why are you sizing up this dark horse?”Xu Yan scratched his head and looked at Li Hao stroking the black horse's hair.
Li Hao smiled."Boss, how much is this horse?"”
"Aiyo, young hero, this black horse is thin and malnourished. It looks like it's all skin and bones. If you buy a lot, I'll give it to you as a gift.”Ma Fan pointed at the black horse anxiously and sighed.
"Alright, you guys choose your horses. I want this black horse.”Li Hao said as he jumped onto the horse's back.
"Ah, senior brother, why did you choose this?”Wang Zhang was tongue-tied.
In the end, the few of them chose their horses and after some bargaining, they finally bought their own horses.
Outside the city, on a verdant path, a few people sat leisurely on horses, enjoying the spring breeze.
Ying Shan sat on her white horse and pulled on the reins. She looked at the few of them and said cunningly.
"Junior Brothers, how about we race to see who reaches Jiangsu first?”
"Haha, good idea. Let's compete.”Wang Yan rode his yellow horse and raised his whip, eager to give it a try.
"But how can a skinny black horse like Shixiong gallop side by side with a strong white horse like yours?”Xu Yan muttered as he looked at a dark horse.
"Haha, of course I won't bully Senior Brother's dark horse. I'm competing with the two of you.”Ying Shan pulled the reins of her horse and raised her whip. As she spoke, she galloped away, looking valiant and heroic.
"Senior Sister, wait for me." Wang Lin threw her whip and chased after him.
"Senior Brother." Xu Yan looked at Li Hao and said in a dilemma.
Li Hao nodded and smiled." It's okay. Don't worry about me. You can go play with them too. Be careful on the road. When the two of them play, they don't know what to do. You should watch them more."”
"Then Senior Brother, we will meet at noon in Jiangsu.”Xu Yan said as he rode after her.
"Buddy, we're the only ones left now. We can't lose our momentum.”Li Hao muttered to himself as he stroked the back of his horse.
The black horse seemed to understand human language as it panted. Its four limbs stepped on the ground and its lean hooves burst out with considerable speed.
After a long time, there was no one here, only the fallen leaves.
The setting sun streaked across the mountainside, and the enchanting sunset glow covered the earth. It was already dusk.
Li Hao rode his black horse to the foot of the city wall. The thick city wall glowed with a faint red light.
He only saw horses carrying goods and entering the city with the merchants. Other than that, it was empty and he did not find the figure he was looking for.
Li Hao jumped down and led the black horse into the city with the peddler.
There was a plaque hanging horizontally on the door, with two big red words engraved on it: Jiangsu.
Jiangsu was undoubtedly a paradise on earth. It was surrounded by green trees, a gentle breeze, and the fragrance of flowers.
At this moment, the most lively place was the inn. Li Hao led the black horse and strolled around for a while before finally arriving at an inn.
It was called the Cloudy Inn. When they stepped into the hall, it was already crowded with people. If they looked carefully, they would find that the ninth floor and above were filled with young men. There were fierce-looking burly men, elegant scholars, and simple chivalrous men.
"Sir, you came at the right time. There's only one room left.”An enchanting woman was holding a handkerchief and smiling.
"Then bring me there." Li Hao said.
"Wait, I want that private room.”A lukewarm voice sounded.
Li Hao frowned and looked over. He saw a well-dressed scholar with a delicate face walking over unhurriedly while waving a paper fan.
"Aiya, Young Master Lu, you're a step late. This private room has already been booked by this guest.”
"Bastard, he hasn't paid the deposit yet.”This scholar was arguing irrationally.
"Aiyo, why don't you two discuss it? I'm just a little girl. How can I care about the affairs of you people in the martial arts world?”After saying that, the woman found a wooden chair and sat down. She crossed her legs and looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
The scholar sized up Li Hao and said.
"I want this private room. You can leave now.”His calm tone was filled with a hint of dominance, as if he was the owner of this hotel.
Li Hao was not a kind man. His expression was calm as he smiled faintly.
"If you can take the sword in my hand, I'll get lost immediately.”Li Hao's eyes flashed coldly after he finished speaking.
"You, you dare to attack me? I'm Young Master Lu, one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangsu.”
"The Four Great Talents of Jiangsu? What's that?" Li Hao frowned and asked.
"Hahaha, where did you come from? You don't even know me.”The scholar mocked.
The enchanting woman at the side was somewhat unable to hold it in. She crossed her other slender leg and laughed.
"Young hero, this refined scholar is called Louis. He is the eldest son of the Jiangsu Road Manor. His father is the governor of a certain area in Jiangsu.”
After the woman finished speaking, she didn't say anything else. Her beautiful eyes sized up Li Hao.
"Heh, I was wondering who it was. So it's a profligate young master.”Li Hao sneered.
"Bastard."
"Bastard, who are you scolding?"
"Scold you."
"So it was the bastard who scolded me." Li Hao sneered.
"You." Louis held the paper umbrella tightly and glared at Li Hao angrily.
"Hehe, aiyo, so little brother is also a humorous person. I thought that people in the martial arts world would fight over a disagreement.”The woman smiled enchantingly.
