Blind people spend a lot of money on horses.

One day during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, suddenly from the Zhili General's mansion came the howling sound of Liu Zhu, the general of the flat thief. Liu Zhu was sad because the Thousand Miles Horse that had accompanied him for many years had died.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhu was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself. Seeing the military commander so sad, the anxious soldiers decided to buy another thousand miles of horse as soon as possible to dedicate it to the commander.

One day, a man sent to find a horse came to see Liu Zhu with a white-haired blind old man.

Liu Zhu casually swept a glance at the blind old man, and then asked the subordinate, "Have you been out for so long and found Maxima?"

The subordinate replied: "Report to the general, although the horse has not been found, I have invited the once famous Bo Le Meng to book it for you, which is this old gentleman."

Liu Zhu was taken aback and immediately remembered a widely circulated story.

One night about ten years ago, Meng Dingcheng, who lived in Changzhou City, came home with two servants after drinking from a friend's house. When the three of them reached a remote road section, more than a dozen masked men suddenly jumped out of the grass by the roadside, gagged the three and stuffed them into a cloth pocket before being forcibly taken away.

The next morning, the three of them found out that they had been tied up on Black Tiger Mountain, and the men who kidnapped them last night were the minions of the two brothers, Shen Heihu, the owner of Black Tiger Mountain, and Shen Heibao, the owner of the second village.

After the two brothers of the Shen family pretended to be polite to Meng Dingcheng, they asked Meng Dingcheng to help the two go down the mountain to meet the two Maxima.

Meng Dingcheng refused sternly. The Shen brothers had to use their last move and decided to smash the two servants in front of Meng Dingcheng.

In order to save the two servants, Meng Dingcheng was forced to agree. When the servant walked away, Meng Dingcheng suddenly poked himself blind.

Shen Heihu pulled out his knife to kill Meng Dingcheng, but was stopped by Shen Heibao. "Brother, wait a minute. Blind is also useful.

The Shen family has completed the discussion and sent their minions down the mountain to deliver the blackmail letter to the Meng family.

Sure enough, within a few days, the Meng family gathered 10,000 taels of silver and ordered Meng to be redeemed down the mountain.

Meng Dingcheng's story was widely spread, and Liu Zhu deeply admired it. But although he respected Meng Dingcheng, he did not fully believe in his Soma ability, not to mention that he was blind. Therefore, he ordered someone to fetch a hundred taels of silver and send Meng Dingcheng back.

Meng Dingcheng refused to accept the money, and said to Liu Zhu lightly, "If I can't help General Liu find a real Thousand Miles Horse within half a year, then I will come to see the general in women's clothes."

Meng Dingcheng said this, and Liu Zhu quickly paid Meng Dingcheng, ordering someone to take out a thousand taels of silver and hand it over to Meng Dingcheng to help him buy a horse.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and Liu Zhu still missed the dead Maxima. He was sitting in the general's mansion that day when someone suddenly came to report that Meng Dingcheng had bought a Maxima.

After Liu Zhu saw the big black horse with a strong torso and slender limbs led by Meng Dingcheng, he was so excited that he didn't even bother to greet Meng Dingcheng and tried to fly the horse.

It was indeed a thousand-mile horse that was no inferior to the previous war horse. Liu Zhu was overjoyed, and that night he set up a celebration banquet to thank Meng Dingcheng.

In the middle of the banquet, a drunken general toasted Meng Dingcheng with a bowl of wine, and then asked a question that puzzled everyone: How did Meng Dingcheng, who was blind, meet his horse?

Meng Dingcheng drank the bowl of wine very calmly and told the secret.

It turned out that after he went blind, he thought he would never be able to see a horse again in this life. One day he got sick and went to ask the Langzhong for treatment. During the treatment process, he had a whim. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat people by looking, hearing, asking, and asking, so why can't they learn the method of traditional Chinese medicine?

Meng Dingcheng used his years of savings to buy a large ranch outside Changzhou City and hired people to raise horses.

With years of experience and more than ten years of hard work, he finally figured out the "blind equestrian".

After listening to Meng Dingcheng's story, everyone present was full of praise for his stunts. Meng Dingcheng, however, looked ashamed and stood up to tell everyone that the horse he had helped the general with was only ordinary among thousands of miles of horses. It could only be a temporary mount.

After the celebration banquet, Meng Dingcheng took the three thousand taels of silver and two assistants Liu Zhu handed him on his way.

On that day, the three of them walked into a small town and suddenly heard a few horses howling. Meng Dingcheng stopped and listened for a moment, then said to the two assistants, "You two, take me to the fork in the road on the left to save the mare with a foal."

The two assistants glanced at Meng Dingcheng in surprise, and quickly took him to a small road on the left. Sure enough, after about half a stick of incense, in a yard by the side of the road, a man in his forties was about to kill a horse. The jujube horse was indeed a pregnant mare.

The two of them hurriedly helped Meng Dingcheng to the man. After asking, they found out that some days ago, the middle-aged man's wife suddenly fell seriously ill, and the family had no money to hire a bartender, so they planned to sell the mare who was three months pregnant. But because one of the mare's legs was injured and a little lame, they couldn't find a buyer for a few days. The middle-aged man sighed and cried, saying that he had hoped that the mare would give birth to a foal. When the foal grew up to help him work, he could only kill the mare and sell meat to help his wife treat her illness.

Hearing this, Meng Dingcheng suddenly interrupted the middle-aged man, expressing his willingness to buy the mare.

The middle-aged man kept his mouth shut and said words of gratitude to Meng Dingcheng, who had already started to see the horse. He walked up to the mare and let out a few horseshoes like a ventriloquist. The horse stared at him with tears in its eyes and also let out a few noises.

After one person and one horse communicated in this way for a while, Meng Dingcheng began to touch the horse. He first touched the horse's head, and then moved down the horse's neck little by little. When he touched the horse's belly, he slowed down, touched it for a while, and then put his ear on the horse's belly to listen for a while. After repeating this several times, Meng Dingcheng said to the middle-aged man, "Your family is poor, and your wife is seriously ill. I will send back my kindness to the old man and buy this horse for 500 taels of silver. What do you think?"

The middle-aged man never dreamed that Meng Dingcheng would pay such a high price to buy a horse, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The two assistants led the horse and helped Meng Dingcheng out of the small courtyard. After getting on the road, an assistant said to Meng Dingcheng discontentedly: "Sir, the old money General Liu gave you is to buy a thousand miles of horses, not to let you be old and spendthrift."

Another assistant also echoed Meng Dingcheng's complaints, fearing that if he went back like this, he would be blamed by the general.

Meng Dingcheng laughed and explained why he was willing to pay 500 taels for a lame mare.

It turned out that after years of research, Meng Ding could not only understand horse language, but also communicate with horses in horse language. Just now, through "conversation" with the mare, he had a clear understanding of the general situation of the mare. He learned that the mare was mated with a big black horse that was fat and strong without a single hair on its body. Through the "description" of the mare, he already knew that the big black horse was probably a buried horse.

Next, Meng Dingcheng used the "bone-touch horse method" to identify the mare. To his surprise, the mare was ordinary in appearance, but her bones were strange and handsome, and it was actually the skeleton of a thousand miles of horse.

Since the parents of the foal in the mare's belly were both Maxima, Meng Dingcheng concluded that the unborn foal was probably also a Maxima.

In order to determine whether his speculation was correct, he used his unique method to carefully check the baby horse in the mare's belly. To his great joy, the foal still in gestation was indeed a male baby horse.

The three happily returned to the general's mansion.

In the blink of an eye, a few months passed, and the mare gave birth to a healthy and beautiful little male foal. After the foal was born, it showed a huge difference from a normal horse. After a few years, the foal really grew into an unparalleled horse.

This afternoon, Liu Zhu was busy brushing his Maxima when he suddenly received an imperial decree ordering him to prepare quickly and send troops to suppress bandits.

It turned out that after more than ten years of development and growth, the Shen family brothers on the Black Tiger Mountain outside Changzhou City had actually become a climate of chaos. The brothers took the gangsters to loot and kill everywhere, and they also recruited troops and hoarded food and grass. They actually gathered tens of thousands of people, and they had a hidden desire to compete with the court. The government sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but they all lost the battle. The local government didn't see things well, so they reported it to the court layer by layer and asked to send a large army to encircle and suppress.

After receiving the imperial decree, Liu Zhu immediately ordered his troops to kill Ben Changzhou.

As soon as the battalion had set up camp outside the city, there was a report from the front. Shen Heihu had already learned that the battalion officers and soldiers had arrived, and he was so arrogant that he still went down the mountain with the battalion as planned to sack a big town called Liuzhuang. Liuzhuang was prosperous and prosperous, and after being sacked by this gang, I am afraid that the place he passed by will be ruined.

Liu Zhu applauded, immediately pulled out of the camp and rushed to the vicinity of Liuzhuang first. The two teams actually met on a narrow road. At Liu Zhu's order, the officers and soldiers launched an offensive against the bandits.

After all, his gang was a mob. He faced General Liu Zhu. After a few encounters, the bandits were beaten to throw away their armor and flee in all directions.

Shen Heihu saw that the situation was not good, and he did not care about the life and death of his minions. He cut off the previous few officers and soldiers and rushed out of the siege, intending to flee.

His mount was also a thousand-mile horse, so one person and one horse easily managed to get out of the siege. Liu Zhu was willing to let the tiger return to the mountain easily and temporarily hand over the command to the deputy general, while he raised his whip and urged the horse to chase Shen Heihu.

Liu Zhu's Thousand Lima did not disappoint him, and soon saw Shen Heihu's shadow.

At this time, the characteristics of the two Thousand Miles Horses erupted, and it was obvious that Liu Zhu's horse was better. Liu Zhuyue chased closer and closer, bent his bow and took an arrow, and shot it into the back of Shen Heihu's head. Shen Heihu screamed and fell off the horse.

When Shen Heibao, who was in charge of the Black Tiger Mountain, learned from the mouths of the minions who had escaped by chance that the people Shen Heihu had brought down the mountain were almost all killed, he hurriedly ordered the few bandits on the mountain to stand ready to fight against the officers and soldiers.

But Shen Heibao waited anxiously for more than half a month, and there was no sign that the officers and soldiers were going to attack the mountain. He sent spies down the mountain to inquire about it. After Liu Zhu had almost wiped out the bandits that Shen Heihu brought down the mountain, he was sent by the imperial court to go elsewhere to take down another group of bandits.

Shen Heibao built a tomb for Shen Heihu on the mountain and paid homage. Those scattered minions gradually gathered again, and he recruited a few small gangs nearby, and the team had a certain scale. Thinking that Shen Heihu's final tragic death was because his horse couldn't outrun Liu Zhu's Maxima, the more Shen Heibao thought about it, the more hated it, and put all his hatred on Meng Dingcheng.

One night in late autumn, Shen Heibao brought hundreds of minions down the mountain, intending to kill Meng's entire family, including the old and young, to avenge his brother.

Dozens of people, including the master and servants of the Meng family, were tied up by the bandits and gathered in the Meng family compound. Shen Heibao was about to order the heads of all the people in the Meng family to be cut off, but Meng Dingcheng suddenly laughed loudly.

Shen Heibao was stunned for a moment and asked Meng Dingcheng, "Blind old man! Your family will meet in the Netherworld soon, why don't you cry and laugh?"

Meng Dingcheng snorted coldly and said, "I laugh that you are the stupidest person in the world. If you can keep my whole family alive, maybe I can help you become an unparalleled Thousand Miles Horse. You know, the two generals fight. This horse is the key!"

Shen Heibao was moved and thought to himself: Even if Meng family were killed, it would just be an outlet for evil. If he could really get a world-beating Maxima, he might avoid his brother's misfortune.

After thinking about it, Shen Heibao compromised. He ordered Meng Dingcheng's family to be tied up on Black Tiger Mountain as hostages, and they would be released after Meng Dingcheng arrived at Maxima.

After more than half a year, Meng Dingcheng brought a thousand-mile horse to Shen Heibao. Shen Heibao was very satisfied with riding the thousand-mile horse and tried it. As soon as he was happy, he ordered the Meng family to let all the children go down the mountain.

After a long winter, when spring flowers were blooming, Shen Heibao rode the Thousand Miles Horse and brought hundreds of his minions down the mountain. The proud Shen Heibao walked half way, and for some reason the Thousand Miles Horse under his crotch suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

In order to show off the speed of the Thousand Miles Horse under his crotch to his minions, at first, Shen Heibao proudly loosened the reins and let the Thousand Miles Horse run forward. After a while, he felt bad. The Thousand Miles Horse drove him into a forest by the side of the mountain.

After the horse ran for a while, he seemed to understand that the branches of the tree could not kill Shen Heibao at all. So it suddenly ran up the mountain road like a madman.

Shen Heibao, who was riding on the horse, knew that if he didn't find a way to control the horse, the horse would jump a few more times and he would be thrown off. Even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. He tightly controlled the reins with one hand, freed the other hand to pull out the saber on his body, and planned to cut off the horse's head as a last resort.

When the horse heard the sound of Shen Black Panther pulling his knife, it seemed to understand that Shen Black Panther was going to hit it hard. Therefore, he suddenly kicked hard on his hind legs and jumped down the deep valley by the side of the mountain with Shen Black Panther.

The minions of Shen Heibao's subordinates came to the place where one man and one horse fell, craned their necks and looked into the deep valley, only to see the corpses of one man and one horse in the deep valley dozens of feet below. As soon as Shen Heibao died, several of his little leaders immediately fought infighting over the position of King of the Mountain. Several little leaders brought their own cronies and killed people. Just at this time, Liu Zhu led his troops back to Changzhou and immediately attacked the bandits after getting the news. The bandits guarding the mountain were distracted, and Black Tiger Mountain was breached by the officers and soldiers without much effort.

One of Shen Heibao's cronies saw that the situation was over, and remembered that the Shen brothers were either directly or indirectly planted on the Thousand Miles Horse, and planned to kill Meng Dingcheng before escaping.

Meng Dingcheng was fearless in the face of danger and persuaded the little leader to let him live and surrender to the officers and soldiers. At that time, he could also talk to the officers and soldiers on behalf of the little leader. The little leader knew that Meng Dingcheng had a friendship with Liu Zhu, so he weighed the pros and cons and let Meng go.

After Meng Dingcheng saw Liu Zhu, the two of them were very happy. Only then did everyone learn that Meng Dingcheng had actually promised to help Shen Heibao to find a thousand-mile horse that could help him kill Shen Heibao. For this purpose, Meng Dingcheng had indeed worked hard.

After a hard search, Meng Dingcheng finally met a carriage horse in a small town that had been beaten all over by its owner. Meng Dingcheng has always had a special affection for horses, and he hurried over to stop the horse owner's rough behavior. Next, he communicated with the horse in horse language for a while. Preliminary judgments showed that the carriage horse was probably a thousand miles horse. He was surprised and delighted, and it really took no effort! He touched the horse again with his bones, confirming his feelings even more.

Meng Dingcheng did not hesitate and bought the horse with a lot of money. In the days that followed, Meng Dingcheng hid in the deep mountains, training the horse while cultivating feelings with the horse. The horse regarded Meng Dingcheng as its confidant. Seeing that the time was ripe, Meng Dingcheng begged the horse to help him go to the Black Tiger Mountain and try to kill Shen Heibao. Later, the horse did not fail to live up to Meng Dingcheng's trust, but what Meng Dingcheng did not expect was that it was a strange horse that had achieved "the death of the horse for the confidant", which was much stronger than many people. When Meng Dingcheng talked about this, he could no longer restrain the sadness of losing his "horse friend" and burst into tears.

After learning the truth, General Liu Zhu was filled with emotion.
