Ouyang Yue blinked and tilted her head slightly: "Daddy, didn't you see? This whole table of food isn't even a gift."
Ouyang Zhide shook his head as he listened: "You, I thought you had put a lot of thought into preparing a gift for me, but it turns out you just had a few dishes made as a gift. That's a bit of a sneaky trick. I'm not satisfied."
Ouyang Yue smiled and said, "Why does Father think it was made by someone else? Couldn't it be a delicious meal that your daughter cooked for you herself to show her filial piety?"
"Huh?" Ouyang Zhide asked in confusion, "You made this? I remember you suddenly decided to learn cooking, but you burned down your little kitchen and angered your grandmother. Did you really make this?"
Ouyang Yue looked disappointed: "I got up very early today and worked so hard to prepare several dishes. I put in so much effort, but Father doesn't believe me. It hurts me so much." Ouyang Yue looked aggrieved.
Ouyang Zhide still looked at the maids Chuncao and Qiuyue for confirmation. Chuncao smiled and nodded, saying, "Master, what Miss said is true. All the servants in Mingyue Pavilion can testify that Miss personally cooked the dishes for you."
Ouyang Yue interjected at this moment: "How is it? Your daughter cooked a whole table of dishes for you, Dad. Isn't that a very good gift?"
Ouyang Zhide shook his head: "No, I have to taste it first. If it doesn't taste good, it won't pass."
Ouyang Yue smiled, her eyes bright and full of confidence.
Ouyang Zhide turned around and sat down, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the hot and sour shredded potatoes. His eyes lit up immediately: "Good dish, sour and spicy, delicious and fragrant, very good!" Then he turned his head with some disbelief, "Yue'er, tell your father the truth, did you really make this? How did your cooking skills improve so quickly?"
Ouyang Yue laughed: "Father, why don't you believe me? It really was made by your daughter. Besides, I burned down the kitchen before because I wasn't very good at cooking. Does that mean I can't work hard to improve? Father, do you like this gift?"
Ouyang Zhide smiled and nodded, his eyes seemingly glistening with tears: "I like it, I like it. As long as it's made by Yue'er herself, Daddy likes it. Yue'er has grown up and is becoming more and more capable. Good, good, good, you are truly Daddy's good daughter!" Ouyang Zhide said with a beaming smile.
At this moment, Ouyang Yue turned her head and looked at Rui Yuhuan, who was standing by the door with an embarrassed expression, and said, "Miss Rui, why are you here too?"
Rui Yuhuan seemed oblivious to the hidden meaning in those words, her smile gentle: "Yesterday I had a disagreement with the Third Miss, and today I came to apologize to her. I heard that the Third Miss was going to give Uncle some gifts, so I wanted to come and see. I didn't expect the Third Miss's cooking skills to be so good, it's truly rare."
Ouyang Yue smiled meaningfully: "Since you're here, Miss Rui, please sit down and try my cooking. I can offer some pointers."
Rui Yuhuan humbly replied, "I only know a little bit and am not worthy of your guidance, but I can exchange a few pointers with Miss San."
She sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the steamed grass carp on the table. Anyone who has studied cooking knows that cooking fish is a challenge; removing the fishy smell is difficult enough. She once spent half a month trying to cook a fish, but the final product still lacked a certain flavor. Rui Yuhuan had originally intended to criticize, but as soon as she put the grass carp in her mouth, her expression suddenly changed.
The fish was incredibly tender and melted in the mouth, with an exceptionally delicious flavor—something not everyone could make, far beyond Rui Yuhuan's culinary skills. She felt a sense of humiliation, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips: "Third Miss's skills are truly superb. This dish is a rare gem, far superior to Yuhuan's. Yuhuan is utterly inadequate. I wonder if Third Miss would be so kind as to teach Yuhuan how to make this dish?"
Ouyang Yue gave a slight smirk: "Miss Rui, would you like to learn this dish? How about this, it's perfect. The cook in my little kitchen is also learning it. I'll write down the steps for her, and she can teach you after she's mastered it. Miss Rui, you don't know, making this dish takes a lot of time. I need to rest for several days to recover my energy before I can make it, so I really don't have the energy to teach you. Please don't take offense."
Rui Yuhuan's face twitched. The idea that making this dish required several days of rest was a complete lie. Ouyang Yue clearly didn't want to teach her and was deliberately trying to put her down! It was just a simple fish dish; with her intelligence, she couldn't possibly make it? What a joke! She was only given a little face and she acted like she owned the place; she was utterly clueless!
Rui Yuhuan didn't notice that Ouyang Zhide's brows furrowed the moment she asked Ouyang Yue to teach her how to make the dish.
Teaching cooking skills is the job of a cook. For Rui Yuhuan to so bluntly ask Ouyang Yue to teach her cooking skills is to treat Ouyang Yue as a cook, which is extremely impolite! Ouyang Yue's words also had a hidden meaning, but Rui Yuhuan had been living on the frontier for a long time and did not know much about the rules of wealthy families in the capital. She unknowingly incurred their dislike and contempt.
However, Ouyang Yue kept a close eye on Ouyang Zhide's expression. When she said those words that were meant to belittle Rui Yuhuan, she noticed that Ouyang Zhide was not displeased at all. His eyes flickered, and his smile deepened.
For the rest of the time, it was mostly Ouyang Zhide and his daughter Ouyang Yue talking. Even if Rui Yuhuan wanted to chime in occasionally, it was difficult. After lunch, seeing that Ouyang Zhide and Ouyang Yue seemed to have something to say, Rui Yuhuan wisely took her leave first.
When Rui Yuhuan returned to Green Willow Courtyard, she sat on the bed, fuming, and Pink Butterfly beside her helped her. Rui Yuhuan said angrily, "That Ouyang Yue is clearly against me, she's really hateful!"
Pink Butterfly said, "Miss, I think this Miss Ouyang is quite different from the rumors. She always speaks with a smiling face, but her words are often sharp and thorny. She doesn't seem like the brainless person the legends say she is."
Rui Yuhuan was taken aback: "You mean, this Ouyang Yue is different from what we investigated?"
Pink Butterfly shook her head: "This servant thinks that this Third Miss is a bit strange. We should keep a close eye on her. Besides, if Miss can get in touch with her, it's not impossible to win the General's favor. Even if you learn something from Third Miss Ouyang, it would be enough to make General Ouyang's heart flutter."
Rui Yuhuan nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, it seems I really need to get along with her. But I've been defeated by her twice, and I'm really unwilling to accept it. I've never tasted defeat before, and I can't let her be so smug..." Rui Yuhuan smiled coldly, her eyes flashing.
Pink Butterfly stood beside her, watching Rui Yuhuan with a faint yet meaningful smile on her face...
After having lunch with Ouyang Zhide in Mingyue Pavilion, Ouyang Yue sent Chuncao to pack up and leave. No one else was left in the room except for Ouyang Zhibei and Ouyang Yue.
From the moment he entered the room, Ouyang Zhide's smile never faded as he looked at Ouyang Yue. Clearly, he was pleased that Ouyang Yue had personally prepared a gift for him.
Ouyang Yue had always been like a boy, lively and cheerful, and more feisty than most girls. Getting her to settle down and learn anything was extremely difficult. Even martial arts, which she was very interested in, was too tiring and difficult to learn, so she gave up long ago. As for other things she often talked about wanting to learn, that was out of the question! So it was really not easy for her to cook a delicious meal today. Ouyang Zhide felt very satisfied, looking at Ouyang Yue with the joy of seeing his daughter grow up.
Ouyang Yue let him look her over. After sitting for a while, she slowly asked, "Father, can I ask you a question?"
Ouyang Zhide laughed and said, "Oh, what do you want to ask? Just ask. When did you become so polite?"
Ouyang Yue's eyes flickered as she said, "Then Yue'er will ask. Yue'er just finds it strange that you told Grandmother, Mother and us before that Miss Rui's father, Rui Huaicheng, was your trusted subordinate who died on the battlefield protecting you. Is that true?"
Ouyang Zhide nodded: "Yes, that's what I said at Anhetang."
Ouyang Yue smiled: "But Yue'er always feels strange. Based on Yue'er's understanding of her father, if Miss Rui's father really is your savior, you shouldn't be so cold to her."
As a military general, Ouyang Zhide possessed the inherent bravery and fearlessness of a warrior, along with unwavering loyalty and a kind and generous nature. While he doted on Ouyang Yue, he treated his other concubine daughters, Ouyang Hua and Ouyang Rou, equally well. Even though Ouyang Hua was clearly more outstanding than Ouyang Rou, Ouyang Zhide never showed favoritism, demonstrating his exceptional character.
Therefore, a person like him would treat his savior, his adoptive parents, with utmost kindness. He wouldn't necessarily risk his life for them, but he would treat them with his whole heart. Rui Yuhuan is Rui Huaicheng's only relative, and Ouyang Zhide treats her with great leniency. However, upon closer observation, one notices a lack of enthusiasm towards her, which is inconsistent with Ouyang Zhide's character and usual behavior. Ouyang Yue had some doubts initially, but just now, a subtle detail confirmed this: Ouyang Zhide didn't treat Rui Yuhuan with the respect due to a savior; in fact, he seemed somewhat indifferent…
Thinking of this, Ouyang Yue couldn't help but ask again, "Could it be that Father thinks Miss Rui is so beautiful that he wants to bring her in to keep Mother company?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhide immediately rebuked her, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if your father were a real scoundrel, he wouldn't choose someone about your age as your concubine. What kind of talk is that? I have no romantic feelings for Rui Yuhuan." Originally, it was very impolite for Ouyang Yue to ask about her parents' love affairs, but although Ouyang Zhide reprimanded her, he wasn't really displeased and even made a point of explaining it to her.
Ouyang Yue became even more certain: "Father, is there a secret behind Rui Yuhuan's father's death? Was her father really your savior?"
Ouyang Zhide was taken aback, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he stared directly at Ouyang Yue. His scrutinizing gaze met Ouyang Yue's calm gaze.
A faint smile graced her face, yet her expression shone with a radiant confidence, adding a touch of wisdom to her still somewhat youthful and delicate features.
Looking at Ouyang Yue's expression, Ouyang Zhide seemed a little dazed. His eyes gradually calmed down, but his gaze flickered, as if he were lost in some unknown past and memories. His expression was dazed, and his face changed, seemingly laughing, crying, and sorrowful all at once. In short, it was very complicated, which startled Ouyang Yue.
She always felt that Ouyang Zhide was looking at her, through her, as if he were looking at someone else. The absent-mindedness he showed when they first met yesterday was somewhat similar to this. However, back then, he reacted quickly and it was not easy for anyone to catch him. Now she was much more certain!
Ouyang Zhide remained silent for a long while, but Ouyang Yue didn't remind him. Everyone has secrets, and although she was currently extremely curious about Ouyang Zhide's past, wondering what could have caused such a resolute man, a veteran of countless battles, to show this expression, she was also wary. After all, she wasn't the one in question, and knowing too much might not be a good thing for her. The more she knew, the closer danger was to her!
After a while, Ouyang Zhide's complexion gradually returned to normal. He looked at Ouyang Yue deeply again and suddenly smiled, "Yue'er has really grown up. Although I am at the border and cut off from news from the capital, it doesn't mean I am completely unaware of what you have been doing there. People in the capital say that Yue'er is of bad character, but I think you are a rare person who understands things. You live authentically and freely, which is much better than many others! If I could, I would also like to live a carefree life like you!"
Ouyang Zhide's words were quite shocking. What kind of father teaches his daughter to disrespect etiquette and be as unruly as possible? But Ouyang Yue could tell from his words that this was Ouyang Zhide's true feeling.
She didn't speak, but listened slowly as Ouyang Zhide said, "My Yue'er has grown up. Actually, you've been very smart since you were little, but you used to be too mischievous and never liked to think about anything seriously, so no one knows how good you are."
“You’re quite perceptive. You’re right. Rui Yuhuan’s father, General Rui Huaicheng, my trusted subordinate, is not my savior at all.” Ouyang Zhide sighed, a cold glint in his eyes. “Not only is he not my savior, but he was also a murderer who tried to kill me in the chaos of the battlefield!”
"What!"
Ouyang Yue, who had been listening quietly, was startled.
She reasoned that Rui Huaicheng wasn't Ouyang Zhide's savior, and might have died dishonorably, but he was still Ouyang Zhide's trusted subordinate. Therefore, Ouyang Zhide spared Rui Yuhuan, bringing him back to the capital out of consideration for his old subordinate. However, she never expected that Rui Huaicheng would try to kill Ouyang Zhide's murderer; this made the whole situation even stranger!
Why was Ouyang Zhide so kind to Rui Yuhuan, a murderer, and even took her to the capital?
Ouyang Zhide said expressionlessly, "I did this to monitor Rui Yuhuan!"
Ouyang Yue was puzzled: "Survey her? What's so special about a weak woman like her that's worth monitoring? Or has Father discovered some secret about her?!"
☆、051, A mad dog bites!
Ouyang Zhide frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter is also something that I find very strange and puzzling."
Ouyang Zhide looked up at Ouyang Yue again, as if to confirm his trust in her, before saying, "Speaking of Rui Huaicheng, he was an orphan from a young age, a beggar who grew up on the charity of others. It was fate that brought us together. I met him by chance on the way to war. I saw that he himself was hungry and cold, yet he gave the food he had begged to a sick old couple and a crying child, so I took a liking to him. In the end, I took him to the army camp. Actually, at that time I was just a junior officer. He suffered a lot under my command, but he was a hardworking and ambitious person. He was illiterate, but he was very brave in battle. He has also paid a lot of price to get me to my current position and made many contributions. Although we are in a superior-subordinate relationship, I treat him like a brother in private."
"We've known each other for nearly twenty years. I was the one who arranged his marriage. I've been through many things in Rui Huaicheng's life, so naturally he knows a lot about mine. We weren't exactly inseparable, but our brotherly bond was rare. So I understand his personality very well. He's the kind of person who goes all the way once he's made up his mind, and nothing can change it. I'm not bragging, but based on my understanding of him and all these years we've spent together, I simply can't imagine why he would suddenly draw his sword against me on the battlefield. He's not that kind of person. Besides, he had no parents, only Rui Yuhuan. Just before he died, he was enthusiastically discussing with me finding some promising generals in the army and arranging their marriages. I really can't understand why he would draw his sword against me during that most important battle. If he had approached me from the beginning, how could he have acted for over twenty years without a single flaw?"
Ouyang Zhide's expression was complicated, as if he couldn't believe it, and he also felt guilty and helpless about his brother's death.
Ouyang Yue also found the whole affair strange. Just as Ouyang Zhide had said, let's start from the beginning. If Rui Huaicheng had ulterior motives when he first approached Ouyang Zhide, then everything he did as a beggar was deliberately to be discovered by Ouyang Zhide so that he could be brought into the army. At that time, Rui Huaicheng was only a teenager and had little social experience. It's clear how difficult it was for him to not reveal any flaws in front of Ouyang Zhide.
Even someone like Ouyang Yue, a former special agent who has undergone extensive training in disguise and is adept at it, wouldn't dare say she'd be 100% without problems. Could Rui Huaicheng have accomplished this in the past twenty years? Moreover, given his seemingly brave and guileless military character, the difficulty is truly extraordinary!
Furthermore, back then, Ouyang Zhide was merely a minor general, powerless and insignificant. At that time, Old Lady Ning was going through a very difficult period, and many people didn't even value Ouyang Zhide. Considering the timeline, even Old Lady Ning hadn't yet married into the general's household. There was absolutely no need for him to approach Ouyang Zhide. Did Rui Huaicheng possess some kind of divination ability, knowing that Ouyang Zhide would achieve such success?
If we're talking about why Rui Huaicheng betrayed Ouyang Zhide later on, given Ouyang Zhide's position, he was definitely not stupid. He must have thoroughly investigated Rui Huaicheng's background, knowing he was supported step by step. Rui Huaicheng likely only had his wife and Rui Yuhuan as family. His wife died in childbirth, a common occurrence in ancient times, and this couldn't be blamed on Ouyang Zhide. Rui Yuhuan was a woman, and Ouyang Zhide wouldn't intentionally seduce or provoke her; that's not in his nature. Furthermore, Rui Yuhuan was a woman, and Rui Huaicheng's primary concern was finding her a good husband, a decision already made before his death. As a father, he would never commit such a foolish act as assassinating Ouyang Zhide at this time.
There were just too many things that defied common sense. After a moment of contemplation, Ouyang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Father, you said that General Rui Huaicheng was going to assassinate you on the battlefield. Was there anything unusual before that? Even the slightest thing? Or was there anything strange about his expression when he was trying to assassinate you?"
Ouyang Zhide thought for a moment: "No, Huaicheng and I are very familiar with each other. As I said, we are like brothers. I would not be unaware if he did anything unusual. So when he suddenly turned around and attacked me on the battlefield, I was caught off guard. However, because the battlefield was very chaotic, I escaped unscathed. As for his expression at the time..." Ouyang Zhide's eyebrows furrowed, "His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. He kept chanting the word 'kill, kill, kill.' Even when I stabbed him in the chest with my sword, he didn't show any pain on his face. So until he died, I never got the reason from him."
Ouyang Yue was taken aback: "His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was going mad!" Hearing this, it sounded like he was possessed.
Ouyang Zhide sighed, "This battle was crucial for the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was in this battle that we killed the temporary leader of the nomadic tribes and forced them back to the grasslands. We lost two battles before, but that was actually a ploy to lure the enemy. That's why I suspect there's a traitor in my army. One of the main reasons I came back to report this time is to secretly find out who this person is. As for Rui Yuhuan... I also want to find out the reason for Huaicheng's strange behavior back then through her. They are father and daughter, so even if I can't tell her, I shouldn't hide it from her. But along the way, apart from being a little warm towards me, Rui Yuhuan hasn't done anything strange."
Then Ouyang Zhide seemed to be talking to himself: "Could it be that Huai Cheng is really possessed by an evil spirit?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yue suddenly trembled and abruptly raised her head: "Father, I remember when I was reading the book about the Great Zhou region, it mentioned Miao territory. Are you familiar with that place?"
Ouyang Zhide was taken aback: "Miao Jiang? Miao Jiang is located in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the Da Hong River, the only river in the Langya Continent that crosses three major countries. The Da Hong River flows around the Black Teeth Kingdom, and then through the Great Zhou and its formidable rival, the Da Gan Kingdom. Miao Jiang is located at the end of the Da Hong River. Miao Jiang has always been shrouded in mystery for outsiders. It is said that they are a people chosen by immortals, and their people possess many secret arts that are not passed down to outsiders. They are skilled in Gu poison and Qimen Dunjia. However, for many years, Miao Jiang has remained peacefully at the end of the Da Hong River. Although they have always been mysterious, they have never participated in the continental conflicts. As for the rumors about them on the Langya Continent, they are mostly unfounded and baseless speculations that are not worth mentioning to outsiders."
Ouyang Yue pondered for a moment. Even in this age of advanced modern science, the Miao region still held many mysteries unknown to outsiders, some even defying scientific explanation. When she first arrived and read books about the Great Zhou's geography, they only mentioned the general geographical location of the Miao region without going into detail. Later, out of curiosity, she sought out some other books, but they only offered brief introductions, and unable to find anything more, she had to give up. However, through Ouyang Zhide's words, she suddenly recalled the white jade Buddha that Rui Yuhuan had given to Old Madam Ning, and the trick of the white light.
These江湖 (jianghu) techniques, if Ouyang Yue were to study them, she could probably replicate them, but it would take considerable effort. Moreover, those who know such skills are not ordinary people; they are either seasoned swindlers who frequently travel the martial arts world, or those who possess secret arts. Rui Yuhuan couldn't possibly know them. At the time, she had merely dismissed them, but now she was deeply shaken. If she were to boldly speculate, could it be that Rui Yuhuan had made acquaintances with the Miao people? That would explain everything. But why would they want to kill Ouyang Zhide?
Since that battle was so important, yet it had nothing to do with Miao territory, could it be that the nomadic tribes had made contact with the Miao people, thus wanting to kill Ouyang Zhide and ultimately win the war? But if they could assassinate one Rui Huaicheng, they could do it again. However, the nomadic tribes are currently fragmented and lack the strength to fight again in the short term. It wouldn't make sense for them to abandon such an alliance now. Furthermore, why didn't they kill Rui Yuhuan and let her go to the capital? Perhaps it was because Rui Yuhuan coveted the wealth and power of the capital, but if they made contact with Rui Yuhuan and ultimately failed, even if they were in her shoes, they wouldn't have spared her.
Another possibility is that these speculations are just that—speculations—and shouldn't be taken seriously! But if they are true, then this is a top secret concerning national security!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Yue's head ached: "Father, did you report to the Emperor about Rui Huaicheng's assassination attempt on you this time when you went to the palace?"
Ouyang Zhide was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. Ouyang Yue knew that he definitely didn't say anything.
With Ouyang Zhide's return, the border guards must have deployed men to investigate spies. If they find them, everything will be fine. Moreover, if he reports this to the Emperor, Rui Huaicheng will be considered a spy for an enemy state, facing not only the extermination of his entire family but also the desecration of his corpse—whipping it and tearing it to pieces. In truth, Ouyang Zhide didn't believe Rui Huaicheng was that kind of person. After more than twenty years of brotherhood, he naturally didn't want Rui Huaicheng to die such a miserable death. As for Rui Yuhuan, Ouyang Zhide probably brought her back out of brotherhood, ostensibly to monitor her, but also partly to protect her.
Having led troops for so many years, Ouyang Zhide couldn't possibly have overlooked what Ouyang Yue had thought of.
"Isn't Father going to tell you?"
Ouyang Zhide finally shook his head: "This is just speculation. There is no evidence, and the Emperor may not believe it. The royal family must not believe in ghosts and gods."
"So, Father, you're just going to leave Rui Yuhuan like this for now?" Ouyang Yue nodded. Ouyang Zhide's idea made some sense, but this matter still felt like a needle pricking Ouyang Yue's heart, making her very uncomfortable. Moreover, this matter was just their speculation. If they were to spread these things, people would only think they were joking and confusing the public, and would instead accuse them of spreading rumors.
“If she has no problems, I will naturally raise her as my brother’s daughter.” Ouyang Zhide clearly didn’t want to say more, and stood up. “Alright, Yue’er showed off her skills today, and I enjoyed the meal very much. You must be exhausted, so take a rest. The old lady of the Ning family’s birthday banquet is in the next couple of days, so you should prepare for it.”
"Daughter respectfully sees Father off." Ouyang Yue stood up and bowed. Ouyang Zhide smiled and left. At this moment, Ouyang Su flew out, shaking his head and saying, "What kind of place is Miao Jiang? It seems quite interesting."
Ouyang Yue's eyes, however, were somewhat distant. If this matter were true, it would be a secret between countries. Could there be anyone within the Great Zhou Dynasty involved?
Ouyang Yue shook her head. These were not things she needed to understand or worry about. Although she felt somewhat depressed after hearing about this, Ouyang Zhide's words also brought her a business opportunity. Since ancient times, the struggles between countries have been very complex and costly, but they can also make some businessmen very rich. She smiled, her smile somewhat cunning.
Ouyang Su shrank his neck. His mother always had this expression on her face when she was thinking of some kind of trick.
"Dongxue, come in." Ouyang Yue raised an eyebrow and called out, and Dongxue pushed the door open and entered.
"Miss."
"I instructed you to check on how things are going at the horse farm."
Dongxue thought for a moment and said, "Miss, I did investigate and found that the horse farms near the capital are all small ones, used by noble children for horse racing in their spare time. There are no large-scale ones."
"Dongxue, as far as you know, where are the best horses on the Langya Continent produced?" Ouyang Yue stroked her chin and suddenly smiled.
"Naturally, it's the nomadic peoples of the eastern part of the Great Zhou. They grew up on horseback and live on the vast grasslands. It can be said that everyone, young and old, men and women, knows how to ride a horse, and their horses are the most fierce and brave. In terms of horse breeds and riding skills, no one can match them. This is why the nomadic tribes, despite the various races being scattered and disunited, often harass the Great Zhou and the Dagan tribes, causing them great suffering. Next are the border areas of the Great Zhou, the Dagan tribes, and the nomadic tribes. Because there are often small skirmishes in these three places, it is also the most chaotic place on the Langya Continent. There is no one to govern it, and it is an independent place. The nomadic tribes often exchange their necessities here, including horses, cattle, and sheep, so some good breeds of horses are also traded."
Ouyang Yue sighed softly, "Yes, it's so chaotic there, so it's not surprising that a horse farm would suddenly appear there."
