Chapter 50 Obtaining a BMW
"You have a good eye."

Li Xuan said as he untied his belt.

In Li Xuan's opinion, whether it was sold for gold or jade, the belt was definitely not worth five hundred strings of cash.

What is truly valuable is his jade pendant of a flying bird holding a flower, which is not only made by a famous craftsman, but also made of the finest mutton-fat white jade.

Many people in later generations believed that things bestowed by the emperor should be worshipped like sacred objects and should not be bought or sold. Otherwise, it would be an offense and the person would be beheaded.

In fact, this is a conjecture.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, it was very common for officials to exchange the emperor's rewards for money or give them as gifts.

Ministers cannot live a luxurious life just by relying on their salaries.

Without engaging in corruption, the only way to achieve true wealth and glory is through the emperor's rewards.

During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, Wei Wan, who was the General of the Central Army, rode in the same carriage with him. Emperor Jing of Han wanted to reward Wei Wan with a sword, but Wei Wan refused and said: The previous emperor has already rewarded me with six swords, which have always been at home.

Emperor Jing of Han was very surprised at the time and said: Princes and ministers generally use swords and other rewards to exchange for money and other property. How could you have kept the sword until now?

He then sent someone to Wei Wan's home and found that it was indeed the case.

Not long after, Li Longji gave Lady Guo, Lady Qin, and Lady Han a lot of treasures, which filled up the house, and he gave most of them to the servants to wear. When they went on spring outings, they would lose all these gold and silver jewelry along the way.

"I was just joking. Are you really willing to change?"

The horse seller was moved by Li Xuan's decisiveness.

"Today when I went out, many people stared at my belt. Then I regretted why I wore it. It would be a blessing to be able to exchange a disgusting item for a beloved BMW."

"You are not going to regret it, are you?"

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he asked another question in return.

The first time he wore this golden belt was when Luo Xing packed it in his bag with his clothes for replacement.

Today he changed into plain clothes and walked around the city, attracting strange looks, and he felt that such luxurious things were not suitable for him.

I plan to not wear it anymore.

Now the seller of the horse has asked for it, so he just happens to get rid of it.

"Of course I am willing. This is a gift from the saint."

The horse seller said this, laughed loudly, and took the golden belt very readily.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned.

The horse seller could tell at a glance that the golden belt was given by a saint. That must be extraordinary!

"Ma Gui Lang Jun!"

The horse seller put the reins in Li Xuan's hands.

Before Li Xuan could ask, he put the gold belt in his arms and ran into the crowd.

Li Xuan watched him disappear in the busy city.

"Qilang, this guy is guilty, I'm afraid he's a fake horse, should we go and catch him back?"

Luo Xing was anxious and asked Li Xuan for instructions.

"There is no such thing as a fake horse. Judging from the height of the horse, it can't be much worse. He is just afraid of being guilty of possessing a treasure."

Li Xuan shook his head and refuted Luo Xing.

As a general, couldn't he afford to take the horse seller to test the horses?
In the BMW deal, it's a two-way street, but in Huile City, Li Xuan doesn't have such power.

"This is a good horse. You can't buy it even if you buy a hundred horses on the grassland."

The Hu man felt regretful when he saw Li Xuan get the horse.

He has the skill of judging horses and can tell whether a horse is good or bad by looking at its physical and mental state.

"So I made a lot of money."

With the praise from these people who looked like Hu nobles, Li Xuan felt confident.

"The horse seller said earlier that the golden belt was given by a great Tang saint. May I ask who you are?"

The Hu man asked Li Xuan curiously.

"The Feng'an military envoy, Li Xuan."

Li Xuan guessed that these Hu people were Uighurs.

At this critical moment, the Uighurs came and went to Lecheng, which must have been preparations for a war.

"You are a general of an army. I am disrespectful. I am Moyanchuo of the Uighur Yaoluo clan, and my father is the chieftain of the Uighurs."

Mo Yanchuo didn't expect that Li Xuan was a general.

Mo Yanchu knew that the Feng'an Army, which had nearly 10,000 men, was the elite force of Shuofang.

He guessed that Li Xuan should be a disciple of the Tang Dynasty's princes and nobles, and the surname Li was the royal surname.

"I've heard of your reputation."

Li Xuan's heart moved. Moyanchuo was the second Khan of the Uighurs, the famous and brave Khan.

Also.

For such an important battle, Guli Peiluo sent his son to represent his sincerity and solidarity with the Tang Dynasty.

For the current strategy, Li Xuan did not recommend Li Longji to break with the Huihe. But Li Xuan did not have a good impression of the Huihe either.

Once he has completely taken control of power and the Western Regions, he will turn around and deal with the Uighurs.

Perhaps the one who will confront him in the future will be the one in front of him, Mo Yanchu.

"General, now that you have obtained a BMW, why don't you go out of the city and try it out?"

Mo Yanchu thought that Li Xuan was being polite out of Han Chinese courtesy, and he wanted to see the BMW that he had his eyes on.

He had never expected that this seemingly "gentle" boy in front of him actually had a ferocious tiger hidden in his heart.

"Right on my mind!"

Xue Cuo went to inform Li Xuan's personal guards, and Li Xuan led the horse to meet them at the east city gate.

When leaving the city, Mo Yanchuo also introduced his sister, Jia Si, Yao Luo Ge, to Li Xuan.

"My horse runs like the wind on the grassland. Let's have a competition." Gass looked at Li Xuan's BMW with her bright eyes turning. She actually wanted to race horses with Li Xuan.

"I won't compete with you."

Li Xuan shook his head and refused. To compete with a woman is to win unfairly and to lose is to be ashamed.

"Don't the Han people call themselves real men? You got such a good horse, why don't you dare to compete with me?"

Gasi was bold and unrestrained, and even resorted to provocation.

"No comparison."

Li Xuan just uttered two words lightly.

Gas was helpless and could only stamp his feet in anger, there was nothing he could do.

Mo Yanchu saw this and thought Li Xuan was timid, so he couldn't help but look down on him.

He couldn't understand why Wang Zhongsi, who was so powerful on the grassland, would allow such a coward to be the commander of an army.

Li Xuan ignored the thoughts of Mo Yanchu and his sister. He bowed to them and jumped onto his horse.

"Eh..."

When the BMW is at the horse market, it is quiet and peaceful. When it is taken out of the city, it is also well behaved.

But when Li Xuan rode on it, it actually cried out to the sky.

Then, like an arrow shot from a bow, he rushed forward suddenly.

Li Xuan grabbed the reins and stepped on the stirrups.

He could clearly feel an unprecedented sense of power when the horse charged.

None of the horses he had ridden before had this kind of explosive power when charging.

He started off by sprinting straight ahead, his speed much faster than that of his mount.

“What a great horse!”

Mo Yanchu, who was not far away, sighed and felt even more regretful.

Only a hero is worthy of driving a BMW like this.

pity……

"The general has ordered that you not to come near."

Jiasi wanted to ride a horse to catch up with Li Xuan.

But before she could mount her horse, Xue Cuo came on horseback with ten personal guards, holding their swords, ready to draw their swords at any time.

The Uighur knights looked alert.

Xue Cuo and Luo Xing were Li Xuan's personal guards. If anyone approached Li Xuan during his horse testing, it would be considered a dereliction of duty for them.

If you don't listen to their advice, they will kill you without mercy.

"No rudeness."

When things were about to get tense, Mo Yanchuo hurried over to stop Gasi and scolded him.

He saw that these knights were well-trained elite soldiers who performed their duties conscientiously.

Gasi also realized that he was impulsive, but he thought in his heart that Li Xuan was not a warrior.

"Eh..."

The BMW still did not obey Li Xuan's orders and refused to let Li Xuan sit on its back.

Li Xuan pulled the reins hard and the horse was forced to stop.

Its front hooves were raised high, and Li Xuan squeezed the horse's belly tightly, not moving at all on the horse.

The BMW started spinning in circles, becoming irritable.

Li Xuan loosened the reins and no longer restrained it, and the BMW rushed forward again.

He was not in a hurry. This kind of fierce horse required patience.

He could also test the BMW's endurance.

With Li Xuan's bravery, no matter how powerful the BMW was, it would not be able to throw him off.
