Chapter 13 Patriarch
The three patriarchs looked at Ren Ning twice, and the eyes were shining brightly.

He asked the servant next to him to go back and find a set of clothes, "This is my son's clothes. He has gone to Xingji City to learn Yunchui language for more than three years. Mr. Ning, try to see if it fits?"

Ren Ning took a deep look at him, and went into the tent to change his clothes.

The clothes fit well, just a little damp.

But now everyone's clothes are a little damp.

When he came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

"What a handsome guy." The three patriarchs nodded in satisfaction.

He looked meaningfully at the densely packed tents and yurts in the tribe, "The tribe is in a mess. Watch the horses in a while, son, leave as soon as possible."

Ren Ning didn't say anything, just cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

A group of people go east.

Lanmang is a small tribe, and the livestock circles and tribesmen are almost mixed together.Relatively speaking, Kai Lun is a big family.The cattle, sheep and horses they raise are all on the outskirts of the settlement.

But not very far.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the stables of the three patriarchs.The densely packed horses in the circle were neighing deafeningly.

The three patriarchs laughed a little proudly.

"These are my horses."

"It has been raining heavily for the past few days, and they have not been able to come out for several days, and they are a bit irritable."

"There are more than 3000 horses in the five circles, you can choose as you please. It's just that there are not many young horses that can be ridden, less than half. Don't mind me, my lord."

"Thank you." Ren Ning nodded in understanding.

He could be sent into the grassland to see the situation, and he had also carefully understood some customs and agreements of Xiliang officials and folks.

In order to control the whereabouts of folk horses, the government of Xiliang.When the good horses raised by the herdsmen grow up a bit, most of them will be marked or "bought" directly, and a small part will be allowed to stay for their own use.

It is said to be a buy, but in fact the official price is almost the same as a hard grab.

No one wants to start a loss-making business, so when it comes to raising horses these years, most of the herdsmen lack interest.

It's just that horses are a good tool for transportation, and herdsmen have to raise some.

The three patriarchs now raise more than 3000 horses, which may not seem like a lot in terms of numbers, but they are definitely considered a large private household.

The three of Ren Ning looked at each other and went in to pick a horse.

It's a pick, but it's just a glance.

After all, good horses have long been picked up by Xiliang officials.The rest are either too young or too old, or the taller among the dwarfs, they are all about the same.

Ren Ning quickly picked a brown horse in his early two years old.

The horse is very energetic, but the physique is not good.The title of Maxima is almost destined to miss it.

The servants asked the master for instructions, and quickly ran over to drive the horse out, caught it, put on the reins, and finally led it to Ren Ning.

The horse has not been trained, and it paws the dirt with its feet.It looked at the two-legged beast in front of it in shock, very anxious.

"Master Ning, do you want to try riding it first?" The three patriarchs looked at the horse noncommittally.

He pointed to the back of the horse pen, "There is a special training ground in the circle. Although a lot of mud has accumulated, the ground below is flat, and it shouldn't be a big problem to run around a little."

"Thank you, no need." Ren Ning declined.

He took out scraps of silver to pay the bill, bought some food at random, and filled the ration bag at his waist.

The horse is not a good horse, so it is not too expensive, but the two together cost him 20 taels of silver.

The price is not low.

In Yunchui Imperial Capital, where prices are relatively high, 20 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of five to eat and drink for more than a year.

And as the most outstanding scout in the fortress, Ren Ning's Junshang was actually only a tael of silver a month.

But all the money on his body was snatched from Xiliang soldiers, so he didn't feel bad about spending it.

Furthermore, knowing that he was from Yunchui people or even from Yunchui army/people, the three patriarchs agreed to sell him a horse without hesitation.This kindness alone cannot be exchanged for a mere 20 taels of silver.

"You Meng, I wish you good luck. I won't go back with you." Ren Ning tied up the food and grass, and waved goodbye to the You Meng brothers and sisters.

Walking with him, a Yunchui man, if he is recognized by other Xiliang people, it will only be a disaster for Youmeng and Lanmang tribe.

You Meng knew this, so he didn't want to keep him.

He came over and punched Ren Ning with mixed feelings, "Brother, take care all the way. Your great kindness, Lan Mang and You Meng will always be in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "I wonder if we can meet again in the future?"

Ren Ning laughed, "It's best not to see you."

He's a soldier, and being in a neighboring country basically means war and death.Lanmang is just a small tribe that is not even considered cannon fodder, so it is best not to meet them.

After speaking, he pulled up his horse and prepared to head east.Just as he was about to lift his foot, he turned his head and looked at Kailun's three patriarchs.

"Three patriarchs, Yun Chui often said that after a disaster, there must be a major epidemic. The grassland has not seen floods for a long time." He looked at the thick mud around the stables and various livestock that were drowned in the flood, "These are the best to deal with. Down."

After speaking, he took the horse, waved his hand, and left without looking back.

The home of the three chiefs is to the east of the Kailun settlement.His family's livestock pen was also built in the east.Ren Ning walked eastward all the way, but he didn't have to pass through the settlements again, let alone run into the Xiliang army/people visiting the Kailun tribe.

After walking for about an hour, the sound of horseshoes trampling through the mud sounded from behind.

Ren Ning turned his head abruptly, and soon became surprised.

"Brother Ning, wait a minute." A delicate figure staggered after him on a little red horse.

It is the youngest daughter of the three patriarchs of Kailun.

Ren Ning thought for a while, and it seemed that his name was Yingpan Kailun.

"Miss Kailun, are you here to look for me?" Ren Ning put away the dagger, and glanced sideways at the red horse, "Your horse's left foot is injured."

what?
Yingpan was taken aback, and quickly turned over and got off the horse, checking his horse distressedly.

Sure enough, something cut a deep gash on the red horse's left hind leg, bleeding profusely.

"It's too bad." She asked the horse worriedly, "Is it painful after bleeding so much?"

咴咴咴.

The red horse rubbed against its owner, staring anxiously at the sharp weapon in Ren Ning's hand, instinctively sensing the dangerous aura above it.

hiss.

Yingpan didn't find anything wrong.She tore a piece of cloth from her dress and expertly bound her horse.

After finishing all this work, she touched the horse comfortingly, signaled the mount to relax, and then turned to look at the bewildered Ren Ning.

"What's the matter?" Ren Ning looked at the direction she was chasing, "Why did you run out alone? Where's your maid?"

Yingpan glanced at him narrowly, "I didn't tell her. Don't worry, I'm sure no one will follow."

"That's good." Ren Ning nodded.

He is not afraid of trouble, but it is best to have no trouble.

"Brother Ning," Ying Pan hesitated for a while.She looked at Ren Ning's face with the same skin color as her own, feeling a little nervous and looking forward to it. "Where are you Yunchui from?"

Ren Ning was stunned, and his eyes fell on the bundle on the red horse's back.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that my hometown is in the imperial capital Xingji City. Do you want to know about your brother?"

"That's great." Ying Pan's eyes lit up, "Brother Ning, have you met my elder brother? His name is Tie Le, which means stone. He goes to school in the Imperial College in Xingji City."

Ren Ning laughed, and said concisely: "Girl, Xingji City is Yunchui's imperial capital, with a population of more than 150 million."

"150 people?"

Yingpan hesitated and blinked her big beautiful eyes.Soon she realized that her eyes were straightened.

"Are there any cities with so many people in the world?"

You know, the entire Xiliang Prairie has a population of just over 350 million.

"Yeah." Ren Ning nodded, "It's a huge city. So I haven't met your elder brother, so I can't help you."

Disappointed, Yingpan asked Ren Ning a few more words and handed him a large bag of beef jerky.

"It's a long journey, so I'll give you these jerky to eat on the way."

"It's not suitable." Ren Ning spread his arms and said regretfully, "I didn't help the girl again, and I don't have any money with me."

"What money do you want?" Yingpan angrily put the beef jerky on the horse's back, "This girl is not my father's kind of person who cares about money. Just take it!"

Haha.

"Thank you, girl." Ren Fei smiled and nodded.

He took out one of the wolf fangs from his pocket, "Yun Chui pays attention to coming and not going unreasonably. I see that many people in Kailun wear wolf fangs, so I'll give this one to you, girl."

what!
Yingpan stared at him with big beautiful eyes, staring at him in astonishment for a long time, until Ren Ning was inexplicable.

After a while, she still reached out to take it, turned around and led the horse back home without a sound.
