Chapter 954 Mohe Horse Farm
"Where is Su He?"

"Mohe Horse Farm."

"Mohe Horse Farm? How... is this possible?"

"My eldest brother had an old relationship with the manager of the stable, so he changed his name under his arrangement. The other soldiers didn't know where my eldest brother came from. They only saw that he was unkempt and ragged when he came, so they called him 'Nusanha'."

"No wonder our people went to Mohe Horse Farm several times but couldn't find out Su He's whereabouts. It turns out that those 'horse herders' have never seen Su He, let alone know that 'Nu Sangha' is Su He."

"That's right!"

"Then how did you find out?"

"All thanks to Miss Pan. She once bought a horse in Xijing Prefecture, and that horse came from Xijing Horse Farm, which is Duanjiabao. Since then, Miss Pan has learned that although the horse farms that raise war horses for the Mongols are heavily guarded, not every horse can be sent to the battlefield. Some thin or underpowered horses will be taken to the market by the "horse herders" to be sold for money. This morning, Brother Tang and Miss Pan disguised themselves as a couple buying horses, and paid a few dozen more taels of silver to coax the "horse herder" to take them to the Mohe Horse Farm to select "good horses." In the horse farm, Brother Tang accidentally saw the figure of my eldest brother, so he hurried back to tell me on the pretext of getting money."

"I see……"

"Deputy Sect Leader, Miss, we are here!"

Just as Liu Xunyi was explaining the whole story to Xunzhen, Abaolu's voice suddenly sounded from outside the car.

“Let’s get off!”

Before Xunzhen could respond, the anxious Liu Xunyi had already lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Apart from Abaolu, the only people traveling with Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen today were Tang Afu, Pan Yuyin, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao. Other masters from the Western Regions did not come with them.

The Mohe area is vast and sparsely populated, with thousands of miles of fertile fields.

Mohe Horse Farm covers an area of ​​several thousand mu and is located about 15 miles northwest of Mohe Town. As it is one of the four major horse farms in Mongolia, one-third of Mongolia's war horses come from here, and its status is extremely important. Therefore, the Mongolian Khan ordered a Mohe camp of 5,000 people to be stationed here all year round, one for raising military horses and the other for protecting the horse farm.

"Stop! Who is it?"

Just as they got out of the carriage one after another, several guards at the gate of the horse farm immediately drew out their scimitars and walked towards Liu Xunyi and his companions with a fierce look in their eyes.

"Sir, it's us!"

Before Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao could draw their swords and confront each other, Pan Yuyin had already stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the guards: "We just saw a good horse, but we didn't have enough silver, so we went back to get it..."

"I know you, but I don't know them." A sturdy middle-aged man looked at Liu Xunyi and others arrogantly.

"They are all my friends. They heard there are good horses here, so they wanted to come and take a look."

"What a joke! What do you think this place is? How can you come in and go out as you please?" The middle-aged man sneered, "I let you in just now because of your wealth, but don't forget that Mohe Horse Farm is a military camp, not a vegetable market..."

"How much silver do you want?" Liu Xunyi interrupted impatiently, "Is one hundred taels enough?"

Xunzhen took the banknote from Abaolu and handed it to the greasy-faced middle-aged man without hesitation, saying, "Here is two hundred taels. Please have some tea, all of you officers."

Seeing Xunzhen's generosity, the guards' eyes lit up.

After a moment's hesitation, the middle-aged man grinned and reached out to take the banknote.

However, the moment his hand touched the banknote, a greedy and evil look suddenly flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. At the same time, his big hand like a palm leaf fan abandoned the banknote that was so close to him, and suddenly stretched forward, touching the back of Xunzhen's hand with ill intentions.

"what are you doing?"

As if frightened by the middle-aged man's behavior, Xunzhen couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. With an angry look on his face, he subconsciously hid behind Liu Xunyi.

"No! No! No!"

Seeing Xunzhen being humiliated, Liu Xunyi's eyes turned cold when he looked at the middle-aged man. Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao were even more furious, and they all drew their swords and confronted the fierce Mongolian guards.

"We'll know after a try. You're really not easy to deal with." Facing the sinister blade, the middle-aged man was not afraid at all. Instead of getting angry, he laughed. "No one usually buys horses. Why are there so many of them out of nowhere today? What is your intention in sneaking into the horse farm? Are you trying to poison us?"

"Absolutely not! We are just buying horses..."

"If you want to buy a horse, go to the market. This is not the place to sell horses!"

Before Pan Yuyin finished her words, a voice as loud as a bell suddenly rang out from the horse farm.

Then, a Mongolian general with a leopard head, round eyes, a strong back and strong arms came quickly accompanied by a dozen burly men.

"Old Eight, what's going on?" The Mongolian general asked the middle-aged man in a deep voice.

"General, these people are causing trouble at the horse ranch!"

"We are not making trouble, we are buying horses." Pan Yuyin timidly corrected, "He has already received our money..."

"Yes, but it's not enough! I asked you to go back and get it, but I didn't ask you to bring people here to cause trouble." Lao Ba interrupted Pan Yuyin and said, "General, actually..."

"Okay! Lead a horse for them from the outer fence and let them go." The Mongolian general waved his hand impatiently.

Tang Afu raised his eyebrows and interrupted "inappropriately": "The horse we just chose is the one in the inner pen, not the one in the outer pen. And the price we agreed on is one hundred and fifty taels..."

"Bullshit!" After being exposed by Tang Afu, Lao Ba immediately panicked and cursed angrily, "The horses in the inner pen are all military horses, how can they be sold? The horses you bought are all from the outer pen..."

"Why do the horses in the outer fence cost 150 taels?" The Mongolian general narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully, "Old Eight, do they not know the market price? Or are you just making up the numbers? Or... are you selling military horses privately?" "General, please understand. Privately selling military horses is a capital crime. I wouldn't dare to act presumptuously even if I had ten heads." Old Eight was so excited that spit flew all over the place. "I admit that I saw that they were merchants from other places, so I falsely reported a high price in order to take advantage of the opportunity, but I would never dare to sell military horses..."

"Whether you lied or not, I will find out when I investigate later. Let's stop for now and return the money to them."

After saying this, the Mongolian general took a deep look at Liu Xunyi, who had a complicated expression, and then led his men away.

"Excuse me, General, is Brother Su at the horse farm?"

Before the Mongolian general walked away, Liu Xunyi, who could no longer suppress his anxiety, suddenly spoke up and said bluntly: "I am Brother Su's sworn brother Liu Xunyi, and I beg the general to let me in to see Brother Su."

Hearing this, the Mongolian general suddenly stopped and asked without turning his head, "Which Brother Su?"

"The fastest swordsman in Mobei, Su He."

When these words were spoken, the guards were all secretly shocked. They looked at each other in astonishment, all of them were completely confused.

"There is no one named Su He in Mohe Horse Farm. Brother... I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place." After a long silence, the Mongolian general uttered a faint answer.

"From the general's tone, it seems that he has some friendship with my elder brother." Liu Xunyi frowned and spoke righteously, "elder brother is upright and honest, and I believe his friends are also magnanimous. Elder brother is obviously the world-famous 'Mobei's No. 1 Swift Sword', but now he has become the target of public criticism because of a martial arts competition. He has fallen into depravity and is hiding in the snow to raise horses to spend the rest of his life. General is elder brother's friend, I believe you don't want him to be unable to recover, and you don't want a hero who values ​​friendship and loyalty to be buried. You all call him 'Nusangha' now, and it is said that this name is quite derogatory. Although elder brother has never refused or defended himself, the general knows in his heart that Su He is definitely not 'Nusangha', but the real 'Bater'."

"What do you want to say?" For some reason, the Mongolian general's tone became increasingly low.

"The former grassland hero became a laughing stock overnight. My elder brother's fellow tribesmen either criticized him, or mocked him, or watched him coldly... At worst, they avoided him. Only the general treated my elder brother with sincerity and never left him when he was in trouble. Not only did he not reject him, but he helped my elder brother hide his identity and took him in at the Mohe Horse Farm. As the saying goes, 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'. The general is my elder brother's true friend who shares honor and disgrace with him."

"What about you?" Perhaps moved by Liu Xunyi's heartfelt words, the unapproachable Mongolian general gradually softened his tone.

"What did the general ask me?" Liu Xunyi replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Are you his true friend?"

"certainly……"

Before he could finish his words, the Mongolian general suddenly turned around, drew the scimitar from his waist at lightning speed, and approached Liu Xunyi quickly with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

Seeing this, Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu and Xun Budao's faces suddenly changed. They wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Xunzhen with a wave of his hand.

Looking at the aggressive Mongolian general coming with a knife in hand, Pan Yuyin, who was standing behind Liu Xunyi, suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken, her breathing quicken, and her palms sweat uncontrollably. Unfortunately, as a woman, she was powerless, and even though she was extremely anxious, she could do nothing.

Tang Afu stood aside with an expressionless face, watching Liu Xunyi and the murderous Mongolian general with interest. Although he said nothing, his left thumb quietly pushed the sword pavilion open an inch.

The Mongolian general took two steps at a time and walked faster and faster, almost rushing to Liu Xunyi.

Without a word, the Mongolian general leaped up and swung his sword fiercely. The shiny scimitar drew a dazzling silver arc in the air, rolled up a fierce energy, and gathered the force of thunder and lightning into the three-foot sharp blade, mercilessly slashing at the top of Liu Xunyi's head.

"Brother Liu, be careful..."

"hiss!"

Accompanied by a cry of disbelief, the scimitar came whistling down. It was no bluff at all. Judging from the posture, it was determined to split Liu Xunyi in half.

However, the Mongolian general used all his life's strength to "splitting Huashan", but failed to make Liu Xunyi's brain burst as he wished. Instead, he encountered stubborn resistance from an invisible force about half a foot away from his head.

No matter how furious the Mongolian general was, his veins bulged, and he tried his best, he still couldn't move the blade down an inch.

Looking at the scimitar hovering in the air strangely, and the Mongolian general with bared teeth and flushed face, Liu Xunyi was calm and composed, and smiled lightly. Then his eyes focused, and with a "click", the steel knife above his head instantly broke into several pieces and scattered.

The Mongolian general suddenly felt a void in front of him, and his hands holding the sword suddenly fell down.

Unfortunately, the blade of the knife was gone, only the broken handle remained. Therefore, the Mongolian general could only watch the broken handle of the knife slash down against Liu Xunyi's body, but failed to hurt him at all.

"Brothers, let's go together!"

Seeing that the Mongolian general had lost all face in front of Liu Xunyi, Lao Ba acted decisively. He shouted loudly and called on a dozen Mongolian soldiers around him to raise their swords and chop at Liu Xunyi.

"Bang bang bang!"

However, before they could get close, a soft yet strong force quietly arrived. Like a ripple across the void, it instantly broke the swords of the soldiers into several pieces, scattering them all over the ground with a clang.

"This……"

Liu Xunyi's miraculous internal strength made all the soldiers dumbfounded and dumbfounded. They stood there in shock, no one dared to attack rashly.

"It seems that Su He did not lie, and you are not a hypocritical hypocrite. He lost to you because of his inferior skills, not because he was bewitched by you and cheated for personal gain."

The Mongolian general looked at Liu Xunyi in shock, who had stood there without even raising his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed with admiration.

"General, my elder brother..."

"In fact, people have been asking about Su He these days, and he had expected it to be you. But it's hard to be both loyal and righteous, so he has been reluctant to see you." The Mongolian general's expression darkened, and his tone was quite helpless. "But your words just now were so heartfelt that I am deeply moved. That's right! I don't want him to live in the Mohe Horse Farm all his life. I hope he can cheer up and become the Su He he he used to be. It's a pity that he has been unwilling to listen to my advice. You Han people have a saying that goes 'the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it'. Maybe the only person who can help him now... is you."
