As the season moved, the ice and snow gradually melted in March, and the oncoming wind swayed a bit. This long and bitter winter finally passed.

After the surrounding large vacant land gradually thawed, Jiafu sowed vegetable seeds in the few vacant land reclaimed in front of the house. Within a few days, the young leaves poked their heads out of the soil, and they were really gratifying to see. He was also called Pei Youan. I built a chicken coop for myself, bought a few chickens from the city, and the little stallion that was born in the first month, Jiafu often fed it, bathed it personally, combed his hair, and under her meticulous care, Growing up day by day, the strange thing is that the black hair at birth gradually turns into red, the whole body is shiny and shiny, and the four hooves have faded from black, revealing snow-white horseshoes, running like snow, extremely beautiful, only three or two. At the age of a month, he was already running like the wind. The fence of the height of the quarry made a leap and passed easily. The temperament was quite different from that of a mare. He often sneaked out to go wild and was very violent. He only recognized Jiafu and her. Intimacy, no one is allowed to touch, even Pei Youan is not happy to approach.

In the stockyard, there is an old man who has raised horses for a lifetime. He claims to be a good horse, saying that the mare is in good condition, but there is nothing special about it, but the horse that was born is an extraordinary horse. The hoof is by no means the kind of ordinary stallion, but it seems that this mare went out privately and got together with a wild horse who didn't know where it was. It has only been three or two months, and it has such a good appearance. . Gaffer was overjoyed, gave it a name and called it "Tread Snow".

On this day, Taxue went out early in the morning, but has not returned in the evening. Pei Youan and a few veterans were training the cured horses on the clearing of the racecourse. Gaffer watched for a while, a little worried about the snow, and said to Pei Youan, and then went to the nearby gate and waited for it. Finally, I saw its black shadow galloping toward this side from a distance, but behind him was chasing a group of dozens of people and horses, shouting and shouting, Ta Xue seemed to be frightened, and when he saw Jiafu's figure from a distance, he let out a grievance. He rushed toward her, came close, stopped behind her, sweating all over, his nose snorted, shaking his ponytail anxiously, rubbing her face against Jiafu's arm, as if seeking protection.

Seeing it looked frightened and scared, Jiafu was extremely distressed. He turned around and saw the dozens of people chasing closer and closer. They looked like soldiers in the army. He hurriedly took Ta Xue and was about to go in. Those people In a blink of an eye, he came to the front. A man in his twenties slid his horse and slammed open the gate of the paddock. He rushed to Jia Fu. From the stockyard? Excellent! I want it..."

Before he finished his words, his gaze fell on Jiafu's body, and his gaze froze. The hand holding the whip also stopped in the air.

Seeing that he was looking at herself with a wrong eye, Gaffer was disgusted, and hurriedly took Taxue, bypassed the man's horse in front of him, and hurried inward.

The sergeants who looked like entourage also rushed in at this moment, shouting at Jia Fu's back: "Do you know who this is? Master Sihu's brother! Don't hurry to leave the horse!"

The man's name was Hu Liangyou. He was indeed the younger brother of Hu Liangcai in the Su Ye Dusi's office. He came here with his brother last spring. I was bored in the city for a winter year. I couldn’t bear to press it early. When the weather turned warmer, I took my cronies to go on a safari today. I ran into this little red horse in the wilderness. Although he was still small, he watched. When he came out of the extraordinary product, he used a sling to cover it. I didn’t want this little red horse to be so agile, but it escaped. Hu Liangyou led people all the way and chased it to the stockyard. Seeing that the little red horse was taken away by a woman, it seemed She was nurtured and relied on her identity, so she rushed in, and unexpectedly saw such a beautiful little woman. Not to mention that in this place outside the Great Wall, it was in the past and the future, the south of the Yangtze River, the fireworks of ten miles, it is also rare. Seeing this stunning beauty, the evil thoughts came to a halt, and seeing his subordinates shouting, hurriedly drank back, and smiled at Jia Fu: "This little red horse is raised by the little lady? Just leave it to the little lady. I am General Hu. My dear brother, a good friend, I don’t know how to call the little lady, this year is Guigeng?"

Jiafu took Taxue, bowed his head and swiftly left. How could Hu Liangyou let it go so easily. The so-called daring, turning over and dismounting, he stopped in front of Jiafu with a stride, sighed, and said with a frivolous smile: " Little lady, this place is deserted and lonely. Why don't you take you into the city? You follow me into the capital, someone will serve you, eat fragrant and spicy, satin silk, I don’t know how much better than here..."

As he said, he rolled up his riding whip and stretched out frivolously, trying to pick Jiafu's chin. He didn't want the little red horse to suddenly go wild, hissed angrily, raised his front hoof, and kicked it towards Hu Liangyou.

Although this little red horse was only a few months old, he stood up and was taller than the top of the crowd. Suddenly he got angry and came so fiercely that Hu Liangyou was kicked to the ground immediately. He became angry and ordered someone to shoot the little red horse loudly. , The dozen or so sergeants hulled up, opened their bows and arrows, and surrounded Jiafu and Little Red Horse in the middle.

"Shoot this beast! I think it dares to kick me—"

Hu Liangyou was helped up from the ground, limped and walked towards the little red horse, waved his whip, and lashed at the head of the little red horse viciously.

"Big cousin—"

Desperately, Jiafu rushed to the little red horse's side, stretched out her hand to embrace her neck, covered her with her body, closed her eyes and screamed.

A horse sling fell from the sky and caught Hu Liangyou's neck. Hu Liangyou hadn't reacted yet, the live button had been taken away, and Maso was stubbornly straight, and Hu Liangyou immediately fell backwards.

The power behind him was so great that the rope was tightly squeezed into the flesh. Hu Liangyou's eyes turned black and had difficulty breathing. He could only hold the Maso with both hands, and struggled desperately with his instincts. He stopped, and kicked two deep drag marks on the yellow mud ground behind his feet.

Jiafu didn't wait for the whip to fall off his back, turned his head quickly, and saw that Pei Youan had actually come. He stood there with a horse rope in his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned hurriedly, and ran towards Pei Youan.

The little red horse snapped up and stopped behind him.

"Fur, are you okay?"

Pei Youan asked in a low voice.

Jiafu bit her lip, looked at Hu Liangyou on the ground, and shook her head: "I'm fine."

Pei Youan shook her hand as a sign of comfort, then motioned her to step back and loosened the rope.

"Young Master Hu is so majestic. It's just an animal, so why bother with it so much."

Hu Liangyou had been strangled and almost fainted, but was finally released. He breathed out a big breath, his mind slowly came to his senses, his throat was sore and itchy, and he coughed for a long time before he stopped. He was covered with yellow mud and looked embarrassed. , Looked up and saw that the talking man had a handsome face. He was twenty-four and five years old. He was standing tall. At first glance, he looked like a scholar with no power to bind a chicken. He put the rope of anger down, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said sternly: "You are Pei Youan? You are so bold! Do you think you are still a former court official? You are now a sinner! My brother It was in the face of your father that year that you arranged for you to come here to defend the court. You did not want to give back, the superior came, and you didn’t receive any reception, but you actually committed the following crimes! I will punish you for a crime of disrespect! Tie him to me!"

Those sergeants looked at each other when they heard the words.

Pei Youan’s reputation in the imperial court was really great, and Wei Guogong used his duty to guard him for many years before his death. He was on one side and had far-reaching influence. Although many years have passed, the mention of Pei’s family is still thrilling. These people He also knew that seeing Pei Youan's two eyes cast, with implied power, he dared not come forward for a while, and was urged by Hu Liangyou, hesitatingly, Fang slowly surrounded him.

Pei Youan smiled: "Second Young Master, come back, this place is desolate, and I won't keep you." After speaking, he turned around, took Jiafu in one hand, and the little red horse in the other, and went inside.

Seeing that he didn't even put himself in his eyes, Hu Liangyou all looked at him, gritted his teeth, grabbed the bow and arrow from a person nearby, drew the bow and set the arrow, and aimed at the figure in front of him.

Pei Youan seemed to have eyes behind his back, stopped, and slowly turned his head. The smile on his face was gone. He looked at it coldly, like an eagle, and then let go of the horse's rein and whispered to Jiafu. Then he turned around and walked towards the bow.

Hu Liangyou's hands gradually trembled, and seeing him getting closer, he didn't dare to release an arrow.

Pei Youan stopped in front of Hu Liangyou, stared at him, slowly raised his hand, and grasped the arrow handle on the bow.

"Hu Liangyou, you ride horses at the fair on weekdays. This is a nuisance to the people and violates Article 3 of the Military Regulations; molesting women is even more a taboo in the military. According to my military law, you should be responsible for fifty. You have now been promoted. As far as the generals, Mr. Tosi never teaches you on weekdays?"

He suddenly exerted force with his fingers, and with a "click", the hilt of the arrow broke from it, split into two, and fell to the ground from the bowstring.

Hu Liangyou's face turned red and white, and froze in place, motionless.

...

The group fell dejected, beat their horses and left, and the sky was also dark, and the stockyard returned to its original calm.

Gaffer bolted Taxue back to the stable. The little red horse seemed to know that he was in trouble just now. He usually didn't want to go into the stables, but this time he stood there motionless, and then came over again, trying to lick Jiafu's face with his tongue, to please her, Jia Fu pushed his face away, poked his eyebrows with his fingers, and taught him: "It's you today, it's trouble! Next time you sneak out, I will never care about you again!"

She has a stern tone. The little red horse blinked, and continued to move his head, rubbing against Gaffer's arm, pushed away by her, drooping, and grunting in his throat, as if begging for mercy.

Jiafu taught it a few more words, turned around and saw Pei Youan standing aside, smiling at herself, and then let it go, throwing food into its manger, the two went out, and she didn't speak any more along the way. Pei Youan asked her when she went back to the house and changed her clothes to wash her hands.

Jiafu hesitated and whispered: "Big cousin, I'm a little worried. Today you offended the younger brother of Master Hu for me and Ta Xue, in case that Master Hu attacked you..."

Pei Youan helped her take off her coat. "Don't worry. This Hu Liang has only led the army for many years and is considered a capable person. But here, he has less than a year from head to tail, and his foundation is unstable. Although he secretly excluded my father's former ministry, he was still very polite to me on the surface. This matter will not cause him and me to openly turn our faces."

"Then why did he send someone to send the leftovers cold and humiliated at the end of last year?"

After she asked, she realized: "I know! Could it be this Hu Liangyou sent it?"

Pei Youan touched her head approvingly and nodded: "Don't worry. I have a sense of measure."
