After a while, the two arrived at Lao Ke's home, which was near the most prosperous market in the town of Turga, which could be said to be the richest "villa area" in Turga.
Old Ke's house is so luxurious that it's disgusting! The only thing missing is using gold as toilet paper! Just looking at the servants, De La Salle saw that there were no less than 50 of them!
In addition, Lao Ke's family also owns a horse farm with endless grasslands. The Baron estimated that this guy has at least more than a hundred good horses!
Before the baron could speak, Old Ke said something else: "Your Excellency Count De La Serre, you don't know that Yan Tulu, that damn bearded man, has a blood feud with my family!"
"What do you mean?" asked De La Serre.
"Before, he was tyrannically imposing taxes in his own territory, the village of Xico. My father happened to be a traveling merchant and went to buy horses and horse feed from him. As a result, he was mistaken for a villager..."
As he spoke, Lao Ke burst into tears. After calming down briefly, he continued:
“He tried to take away all of my father’s horses by force. My father had no choice but to hand them all over. But that was not all. He even took away all of my father’s money!
My father had no horse to ride on the way back, and he also had no money to buy dry food and drinking water. In the end, my father died tragically on the way back..."
De La Serre expressed sympathy for what happened to Old Ke's father, but he was also a little confused and asked:
"Didn't your father take mercenaries with him when he went out to do business? Besides, he said he was from Turga, but doesn't that have any effect? You are from the same kingdom!"
"That Yantulu is simply a beast who doesn't recognize his relatives! He said my father had no evidence to prove that he was from Turga. My father took out a merchant certificate from Turga, but he destroyed it.
As for the mercenaries my father brought with him, when they saw the vicious Nayan Tulu, they ran away without even asking for the hiring fee. "
Hearing this, De Lassel suddenly remembered Manid, who was once a down-and-out businessman. It seemed that he had also told the story of being bullied by Nayan Tulu.
"Well, Lao Ke, you said your father died on the way back. How did you know the truth so clearly? Who told you? How did you get your father's body back?"
"Baron, my father was not the only merchant abused by Nayantulu. There was also a merchant named Manide who made Nayantulu's crimes known to the public. That's why we went to look for our relatives along the way."
"That was such a coincidence. Later, I met Manide who was also abused by Nayan Tulu and took him in. Now he is my subordinate and works for me."
"Really, Baron? That's great! Manide is a kind businessman. He is on the right track by following you."
"But Lao Ke, I have to criticize you. Since you are so jealous of evil and hate people like Yan Tulu, how can you still be so arrogant?"
Thinking that it was just a minor collision and Lao Ke was about to hit someone, the Baron couldn't help but blame him.
"This...ah, maybe it's because my father was poisoned, and my mentality is not right. I will...I will definitely change in the future! But Baron, you are the benefactor of our family. Today I am fortunate to receive your guidance again, I really can't repay you!"
"What do you mean by 'I can't repay you enough'? Your horse looks good to me..." De Lassel said this with laughter, trying to act as if he was joking and said it unintentionally.
"Oh, you mentioned the horse. That's right! My father left me a wonderful horse, but this horse will choose its own master. So far, no one has ridden it. Maybe it will recognize you!"
"Oh, how can I feel comfortable with this? If it really recognized me, I can't afford it, Lao Ke."
"If it recognizes you, then I'll give it to you. When my father bought it, he only spent 50,000 dinars, which is nothing to our family."
De La Serre was overjoyed. Holy shit! A peerless horse worth 50,000 dinars! This is simply... simply amazing!
At this time, the Baron had already begun to imagine what the thousand-mile horse would look like. He hoped it would be a scarlet Ferghana horse that would match his title of Fire Knight.
At the same time, in the Baron's heart, red often represents the motherland and loyalty, because the five-star red flag is also this color, and the loyal and righteous Second Master Wusheng is also this color.
He couldn't help but think of the ancient Chinese horse Red Hare, which was also the favorite horse of Guan Erye.
The strange horse was born in the Western Regions, and the red dragon descended from the nine clouds.
Looking up, he is nine feet high; running tall, he is three feet high.
Lingxiao steps on flying swallows and follows the wind without being stained by dust.
He walks on the rivers and seas with great vigor, and entrusts his life and death to his heart with a sincere heart.
If the thunder is as powerful as this, it can travel thousands of miles.
Just when the Baron was thinking about these good things, the system ruthlessly slapped him in the face.
[System prompt: Don't get excited. It's not yours yet. How do you know that this horse will definitely recognize you as its master? Also, this horse may not be red, right?]
You know nothing, even if you are a nobody, you still have dreams, so can't I have dreams too? System? I don't even want to communicate with you~
[System prompt: I understand that salted fish have dreams, but yours is just a fantasy, it is irrelevant. You are bragging on the ground, but the cow is flying in the sky. Do you know how it feels to brag like this? ]
Okay, very good, you are looking for trouble, right? System, just wait...
So the baron looked at Lao Ke and said, "In that case, Lao Ke, let's go take a look at this BMW. Maybe today is the day of our fate. By the way, what color is this horse?"
Lao Ke replied: "The grasslands of the Khergit Khanate... oh no, no, now it should be called the grasslands of the Goddess Empire, which are rich in white and handsome horses."
"So... it's also white?" For a moment, the Baron was a little disappointed.
Lao Ke shook his head and continued:
"No, it is very special. It is blood red. Its entire body is as red as charcoal, without a single strand of hair. It is ten feet long from head to tail, and eight feet tall from hoof to neck. It screams and roars, as if it is flying into the sea.
Let me put it this way, I think it is really beautiful, like a blazing fire under the sunset, like a glass of bright red liquor, it is really superb. You will see it with your own eyes later, and believe me, I never brag about horses. "
Hearing Lao Ke's explanation, De La Salle couldn't help but be overjoyed and could hardly hide his smile.
[System prompt: This is really a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse, a charlatan meeting an old fool, and you actually guessed it right... OK OK. ]
