"Oh my God, it stinks so much. How did we end up in the stable?" Murong Jinyi said in disgust, covering his mouth and nose.
Yi Yami gave them an apologetic look.
Gu Beijian shook his head. "It's okay. We'll be fine as soon as we get out."
The four men hurried out of the stable, and as soon as they got out, they met the groom who came to feed the horses.
"Who are you? Why are you appearing in front of my stable?" the groom asked in confusion.
"Hello, brother. We are from another place and we just want to buy a horse from you. How do we sell it?" Gu Beijian responded quickly.
"Hey, so you are here to buy horses. I saw that your feet were covered with horse shit, so I thought you were going to steal horses!" said the groom with a smile.
"No, we went to check the quality of the horses first. Your horses are all good and look very strong. Are you selling them?" Gu Beijian said with a smile.
"Sell it, but I have to ask my master first. My master is here, so I have to ask them. You might as well wait a moment." The groom scratched his head innocently.
"Okay, may I ask where this place is? We have been walking for so long that we don't even know where we are." Gu Beijian said.
"Oh, you really have walked too much. This is the imperial capital of Beiqiu Kingdom, and this is King Jingyao's horse farm." The groom said with a smile.
"King Jingyao?" Yiyami was puzzled.
"You all look like foreigners. In our Beiqiu country, we have granted amnesty to the people ever since the Crown Princess came to power. Now my King Jingyao is the child adopted by our Queen and was crowned as king." The groom held the fence with one hand and put the other on his waist, and spoke.
"So, in your country, girls can also become emperors?" Yiyami asked.
"Yes, in our country, whoever is virtuous will be promoted to the top. Girls and boys in our country are trained in the same way. Take my two children for example. There is no partiality in my family. As long as they are our children, we treat them equally. My girl likes to wield guns and sticks, so we let her do it. Now she is already a team leader in the military camp. Isn't that amazing?" The groom said proudly.
Murong Jinyi nodded. "Amazing."
"Well, my boy is shy and likes to paint. Now he is helping a great painter. Who knows, maybe he can get some guidance from the great painter in the future." The groom continued.
"Yes, then both of your children are doing well and have a bright future." Yiyami said with a smile.
"Who says it's not? Since the Crown Princess came to the throne, our lives have become better. My master, Queen Jingyao, is also a very powerful woman. I tell you, when you see her, you will definitely like her!" The groom chattered incessantly.
He didn't notice that a gorgeously dressed woman had come up behind him.
"Brother Ma, what is this?" Mu Jingyao asked while standing behind the groom.
"Oh, master, you are here. These are foreigners passing by here and want to buy horses from us. I am introducing our country to them to prevent them from getting into trouble outside." The groom smiled innocently.
"I see." Mu Jingyao nodded to everyone.
"Greetings, King Jingyao." Gu Beijian and others bowed.
"Don't care about some false reputation. What are you going to do and why are you passing by here?" Mu Jingyao felt strange.
"We were going to Sixiang City, but we encountered bandits on the way and they stole our horses. So we had no choice but to look for a place that sells horses." Gu Beijian lied without changing his expression or heartbeat.
"Oh? There are bandits nearby? It seems I need to strengthen the city's defense management." Mu Jingyao looked into Gu Beijian's eyes and spoke.
"King Jingyao, are you selling these horses? We really need these horses, otherwise it would be difficult for us to walk to Sixiang City alone." Yiyami said.
Mu Jingyao looked at Yi Yami and said, "Sell it, of course I will, but the price is a bit high. I wonder if you can accept it?"
"How much is one horse?" Yiyami asked.
"Ten taels of gold per horse, fifty taels of gold for four people, and the extra ten taels of gold will be used to buy you some saddles, bridles, whips, etc." This was the reaction of Mu Jingyao and others.
"King Jingyao, isn't it a bit too expensive?" Yiyami's businessman nature came out and he said with a bit of embarrassment.
"Is it expensive? Our horses are all from foreign countries. Not only do they have noble bloodlines, but they also have super endurance. They are not comparable to ordinary horses." Mu Jingyao said with disdain.
"I understand, but we don't have that much money on us. Can you give us some convenience?" Yiyami tried to bargain.
Gu Beijian didn’t quite understand, but he understood when he saw Yi Yami’s gesture.
"Yes, King Jingyao, please give us less. It's too expensive and we can't afford it." Gu Beijian followed up.
"Can't afford it? General Gu, you can't even come up with fifty taels of gold?" Mu Jingyao looked into Gu Beijian's eyes and spoke.
Gu Beijian glanced at Gu Nanji, and then he understood. Mu Jingyao mistook him for Gu Nanji. "Ahem, you figured it out. What? Do you have a portrait of my face in your country?"
"General Gu is a hero from his youth. He has guarded the border of Yinwei Kingdom for so many years and made great contributions. I don't believe that General Gu can't even come up with fifty taels of gold." Mu Jingyao said.
"Hehe, I can certainly take it out, but I don't have that much silver on me. I hope King Jingyao can forgive me." Gu Beijian said with a smile.
"It's okay if I forgive you, but I only have one request. Tell me, what on earth are you doing in Sixiang City?" Mu Jingyao said.
