C82 The temptation to go home (1/2)

Greetings to all the guests for today's Heshan banquet … Pui! After a visit, the sun had already set.

However, the army of Uncle Li had already taken over the task of defending Cloud City, so even if they had finished beating the drum, Marquis Wu who was in charge of cleaning up the streets didn't dare to say Xiao Wen arrest them.

They all knew that not only was Teacher Xiao skilled in medicine, but he also had many patients in the army. In addition, he had also created a powerful cavalry unit.

All the Marquis knew that if you offended Uncle Li, the army might even talk about military law, explaining why you lost your head.

However, if you offended Xiao Wen, the angry soldiers would tear you to pieces before the military judge can begin his trial.

Thus, under the dim moonlight, Xiao Wen walked home.

”Why are you so late today? The banquet shouldn't last until this point, right? ” Seeing Xiao Wen come home, the long-awaited Zhou Xian stood up and said.

”Chat with some friends. After all, based on one's family background, I also said that it was the rich people of Cloud City. So we still have to make some friends, and only when the time is right will they help out. ”

Not only to help, but also to use and sell. Xiao Wen silently added in his heart.

However, he naturally wouldn't speak the truth in front of Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian didn't reply to Xiao Wen. She walked in front of him and sniffed him, then said, ”Although there's a faint smell of alcohol, it doesn't have the smell of makeup. Not bad, you have quite the willpower. ”

Eyebrows...

”Sister-in-law, why are you so familiar with your movements?” Xiao Wen asked in a speechless manner.

”Of course, I have been specially trained.”

”Training?” When Xiao Wen heard this, he was immediately shocked. Although the burly man supported the remarriage of women, it was done under the premise that he had the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. If he didn't, it would still harm his reputation to come into contact with other men.

Second marriage and adultery were two different concepts for most of history.

However, looking at Xiao Wen's nervous expression, Zhou Xian smiled. She said, ”When I was little, my mother used to let me smell my father's clothes and let me try to distinguish the smell of alcohol from the smell of makeup. She had said that those rich families might have the ability to have three or four wives. After all, they were rich, and they could do whatever they wanted. However, it's still better for us, small families, to be monogamous. ”

Can't we stop talking about love in my father's language? Xiao Wen retorted.

Then, he looked around and asked, ”Speaking of which, where did that girl Zhou Wei go?”

Normally, Zhou Wei wouldn't be asleep at this time of the day. Why was she nowhere to be seen today?

Zhou Xian didn't answer Xiao Wen immediately and said, ”Come with me.”

”Where to?”

”You'll know when you get here.”

”Oh!”

Thus, Xiao Wen followed Zhou Xian and walked through the room to the backyard.

On a small tree in the courtyard, he saw a group of war horses tied to it. Although the warhorse's eyes were closed, it was sleeping. However, Xiao Wen could still see the strength in the muscles of this war horse.

”This is a war horse imported from the Tang Dynasty. It was said that this warhorse came from the Great Food Country of the Western Regions. Compared to normal Mongolian horses, although they are lacking in long-distance running, their height and explosive power are much higher. ” Zhou Xian introduced.

Xiao Wen nodded.

This era's breeding techniques for horses were still rather lacking. Many of the later generations' famous war horses, such as the Normandy war horses that were ridden by the emperor's breastplate cavalry, were only recently developed.
