C20 Mysterious Young Master

"This..." The shopkeeper stuttered, and the cold sweat on his forehead increased. "I dare not lie to you, young master. This... these five horses may be good horses, but... "However, it is indeed not a Thousand Li Good Horse."

Sikou Nianxi could not help but feel a surge of anger when she heard this. She went forward and said to the shop owner," Is that shop owner playing tricks on us? We want this medicinal Thousand Li Good Horse to ask for medicine. Human life is related to heaven. How can it be a joke?"

"Sigh." The shop owner sighed heavily and lowered his head. He did not look like he was beaming with joy at all. "I'm ashamed. I won't hide it from you two. Actually, I don't have any medicinal Thousand Li Good Horses here long ago."

"What?" Sikou Nianxi was shocked when she heard that. "There are so many horses here. You also chose for half a day just now. Could it be that you can't find a Thousand Li Good Horse?" The shopkeeper shook his head dejectedly. "Although I have many horses here, the number of Thousand Li Good Horses is one in ten thousand. I don't have many here. A few days ago, a few rich young masters came here. They said that they were going to be used for horse racing and were very generous. They bought all the Thousand Li Good Horses I had. "

"If that's the case, why didn't you say it clearly earlier?" Sikou Nianxi's tone was a little grumpy, "We waited for a long time." "I am really sorry for the both of you." The shopkeeper cupped his hands and apologized. "It was also because I was greedy and saw that the young master was so generous that I felt lucky and did not speak the truth with the two of you"

Looking at the five horses, the shopkeeper looked back at Sikou Nianxi and Liu Jing. He discussed with Sikou Nianxi, "I will not hide it from the two of you. Actually, even if the two of you don't buy horses here, it will be very difficult to find Thousand Li Good Horses elsewhere. How about this, I will return all the silver that the young master gave me just now. The two of you will choose one of these five horses for the purpose of travelling. Although these five horses cannot be compared to medicinal Thousand Li Good Horses... They are already the best horses in my stable. In order to express my apologies, the horse that the two of you have chosen will be given to the two of you as a gift. "

Sikou Nianxi heard the shopkeeper say this and looked up at the sky outside. It was noon when she and Liu Jing set off. They came here for lunch. The shopkeeper had spent a lot of time selecting horses. Now that they found that these five horses were not Thousand Li Good Horses, they had been entangled for a long time. Looking at the sky outside, the sun was about to set.

Sikou Nianxi did not want to waste any more time here. She thought that it was good to have Thousand Li Good Horses, but if she could not find them, there was nothing she could do. Moreover, just like what the shop owner said just now, Thousand Li Good Horses could be said to be one out of ten thousand horses. It was something that could only be chanced upon but not sought. How could it be so easy to find them? Even if she and Liu Jing went to search elsewhere, it was likely that they would not be able to find them. It was a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Sikou Nianxi gave Liu Jing a look. Liu Jing did not say anything, as if he was still hesitating. But Sikou Nianxi did not have any patience. Just as she was about to walk to Liu Jing's side and talk to him, she saw a servant running towards them in a hurry.

When the servant ran here, he was already panting. He barely took a few breaths before he anxiously said to the shop owner, " Manager... I... Just now, a young master wearing a mask came and said that he has a medicinal Thousand Li Good Horse in his hand and wants to sell it to us?"

The shop owner was overjoyed when he heard this. "Really?" The servant nodded repeatedly. "It's true. That young master is still waiting outside!"

"No matter how good it is, there is no more." The waiter turned to look at Sikou Nianxi and Liu Jing. He sounded excited. "Did the two of you hear that? Someone wants to sell his Thousand Li Good Horse now. " If that's true, then the two of you will be lucky! "

Liu Jing nodded and said, "If it is true, it will not be better." Sikou Nianxi was also very excited. "Then why don't you take us to take a look?"

The servant just said that there was a young master wearing a mask who wanted to sell horses. However, Sikou Nianxi did not see any young master wearing a mask at the place the servant mentioned. There was indeed a horse outside. It did not matter. Sikou Nianxi only wanted Thousand Li Good Horses. Whether there was a young master wearing a mask or not had nothing to do with her.

Liu Jing's eyes lit up when he saw the horse. He ignored the others and walked towards the horse.

The shop owner looked at the horse outside. He turned back to look at the servant and asked, "Didn't you say that there was a masked young master just now? Where is that young master now? Why is there only one horse?"

The servant looked around after hearing this. His eyes were filled with doubt as he scratched his head. His tone was a little aggrieved. Shopkeeper, I don't know either. Just now, he was here. Who knew that he would disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"Forget it, forget it." The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves and said. "What masked young master? Forget it if he leaves. Maybe he just thought of something urgent. Let's go and take a look at that horse first. Is it a Thousand Li Good Horse or not? Since he said he wanted to sell the horse, " If that horse is really a Thousand Li Good Horse, we can just give him enough silver when he comes back in the future. "

"There's no need to look." Liu Jing's voice came leisurely, "This horse is undoubtedly a Thousand Li Good Horse." Sikou Nianxi was surprised. She looked at Liu Jing and asked, "Why do you think these horses are Thousand Li Good Horses?"

Liu Jing's lips curled up slightly. He opened his fan and returned to his cynical look. "Madam, your husband has been dealing with Thousand Li Good Horses since he was young. Do you still doubt my judgment?"

"Alright then." Sikou Nianxi spread out her hands and said, "You are right. I can't tell right from left. I will trust you this once." At this time, the shop owner also walked towards that batch of horses. After looking for a while, he sighed and said, "What a handsome horse. Its fur is smooth and its four limbs are strong. This young master is right. This is undoubtedly Thousand Li Good Horse."

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Thank you, shop owner. We husband and wife have finally found this Thousand Li Good Horse. The shop owner will keep the silver taels that I gave to the shop owner just now. " When the masked young master comes to take the money from you, you will give him the silver taels that I gave you today. As for the extra silver taels, it will belong to the shop owner. "

"Thank you, young master." The shopkeeper returned to his original smiling face. He cupped his hands and bowed to Liu Jing. "Take care of yourself, young master and lady. I wish you two a smooth sailing journey here. The sooner you get the herbs, the sooner you can cure your family and friends."

Liu Jing cupped his hands and returned the bow. "In that case, thank you, shopkeeper."

After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Sikou Nianxi packed some dry food and clothes and left with Liu Jing with the thousand-mile horse.

The sky had yet to turn dark when they set off. It was the time when the sun had set.
