Chapter 234

Although the old man looks simple and honest, he speaks in the same way, he only praises the little dragon and the horse, and even the two of them keep on boasting, even Yang Guo can't help admiring it His eloquence didn't bother him about his negligent words just now.

"Okay, okay! Boss, you can just speak directly if you have something to say. If you can do it, I will allow you." Seeing that the old man was still talking, Yang Guo thought he still had to hurry, so he couldn't delay here any longer. In the next town, the two of them might be going to sleep in the wild.

"Hey, the young master is really a real man!" The old man also saw Yang Guo's extraordinaryness as he talked, and he was concerned about this good horse and the things passed down in his family, so he kept flattering Yang Guo, and at the moment he even called him It was also changed, and he said: "The old man's request is not only harmless to the young master, but also a cheap thing. Wait a moment, the old man will go back."

The old man hurried into the house, quickly took out a wooden box, opened it in front of Yang Guo, and let him have a look.

"Huh!" Yang Guo saw a set of harness in the box, but only the saddle and bridle were still usable, as if the whip had started to turn black and corroded, he couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

"My lord, don't underestimate this set of harness." As he said that, the old man threw the whip aside, pointed to the saddle and bridle, and said, "Old man, my ancestor was a great general in the Tang Dynasty, and this set of harness But the emperor specially built it for my ancestors, but before it was used on the battlefield, it suffered a tragic accident. Later, the old man's ancestors fell into ruin, but this set of harness was barely left behind. Today, I am lucky enough to meet the young master's good horse. Foal, please be sure to use the old man's harness. I have measured it just now, and the size is just right. But even though the whip is broken, I will weave one for you right away. I promise not to charge any money. How are you?"

Yang Guo saw that what he said was true, he was too old to tell lies to coax him, and no one would charge a penny, so it was a cheap thing to do, thinking about it, he pulled the reins of the horse's bridle, Yang Guo was startled : "What a strong rein. I don't know what kind of material it is made of. It would be good to match with a little dragon horse. If an ordinary rein cannot be pulled a few times, it will be torn."

"Boss, what kind of leather is your rein made of?" Yang Guo asked the old man.

"Uh... To be honest, I really don't know. To tell you the truth, this rein is very powerful. Back then, I was drunk and tried to destroy this set of harness with fire. Except for the whip, neither the saddle nor the bridle can be burned, especially the reins, which even scissors can't cut! Do you think this is strange?"

"Oh? Then wouldn't it be a big loss for you to give these to me? If you sell them, you might be able to sell them for a lot of money, so why bother selling things here!" Yang Guo didn't mean to insinuate him, but He asked from the heart, and his tone was sincere. Although he didn't know what the saddle and other parts were like, whether it was true that it would not be destroyed by fire, but the reins were still very valuable.

"Don't be afraid of your son's jokes. The things passed down from generation to generation also represent the glory of the ancestors. We are not capable of being future generations and cannot reproduce the glory, but we dare not forget our roots. If we want to sell this thing for money, it is Don't dare to do it, otherwise, what face would you have to face the ancestors under the nine springs! As the saying goes, treasures and good horses, although they can't be sold for money, they can be given to those who really need it, which can be regarded as fulfilling each other , the old man begs the young master to accept it again."

As he said that, the old man gave Yang Guo a deep bow. He didn't know who Yang Guo was, and he didn't know if giving this thing to Yang Guo would lead to the right path, but he knew that if he met another horse in this life that could win I'm afraid it's impossible for the horse breed in front of me. For a person like him who has dealt with horses all his life, he knows how to judge horses. Everyone says that people choose horses, but they don't know how to choose a good horse. The reason, not to mention the white horse in front of him, which is very similar to the dragon horse, can make him willingly follow, how can he not be a good master, he should be willing to worship.

"Boss has a conscience. Thinking about what you said just now, your ancestors were generals of our Han people. How come you are willing to live in a corner here, doing business with the Mongols, and harming our Han people?" Yang Guo first looked kindly, and then His complexion suddenly changed, and he scolded angrily.

Xiao Longnv was taken aback, she didn't know why Yang Guo was furious, why did this old man become a Mongol's helper again?

hand, the old man was also taken aback, and then roared with a red neck: "Boy, I treat the old man with courtesy, why do you slander me like this? Although the old man is a reckless man, he also knows that the country is broken How can you help the evildoers, you should explain clearly, otherwise I will have endless arguments with you."

Yang Guo smiled and thought: "It's okay to be angry, I'm afraid you don't even have a temper, now I can feel relieved."

"Does the old man know who owns the land here?" Yang Guo asked.

"This... This is of course the land of my Han people, the Chinese land of China, but it was temporarily occupied by the Mongolian Tartars, and sooner or later they will return to me." The old man hesitated for a moment.

Yang Guo couldn't help shaking his head slowly, and said: "You still think it's a human thing to say in the first sentence, but the latter sentence is not bullshit, what's wrong? The Mongols took our Han country, and you don't think about how to take it back, but you think about letting it go." Do others take the initiative to return, or do they expect people like Guo Jing and Guo Daxia to resist and defend the country? If everyone thinks like you, can we Han people still be saved? If people don't save themselves, how can they save others?"

The old man was choked by Yang Guo, he was speechless, he really thought so, how could it be his turn to fight against the Mongols with the tens of thousands of Han people? An army of hundreds of thousands is like a mayfly shaking a tree, unable to turn over a single wave, so why bother to sacrifice their lives in vain?

"I...Although I don't want to serve the country, I didn't give my life to the Mongols. How did you harm the people of the Song Dynasty? You can tell me clearly." After holding back for a long time, the old man choked out this sentence.

"Oh! You also know that this place is now occupied by Mongolia, and you are selling horse gear here, but you don't know who you sold it to? Even if you don't, you only do business with people in the Jianghu, but how do you know that you How many of the horses in your hands fell into the hands of the Mongols? Look at your exquisite craftsmanship, but you don't know how many good goods you have sent to the Mongols." Yang Guo said disdainfully, but his eyes flashed, obviously with ulterior motives .

The old man glared angrily, panting heavily, it seemed that he was very angry at Yang Guo's words, but he was blocked and had nothing to say, he was very aggrieved.
