My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Zhang Yu really didn't want to stand up.

On one side is Teng Qin, and on the other side is Qi Yuxiu. He doesn't want to offend either of them.

Therefore, he planned to symbolically ask a few simple questions so that everyone could get by.

"Brother Mu, since this is a horse appraisal meeting, let's go and look at the horses." Zhang Yu said.

"Okay, okay." Mu Zheng made a gesture of invitation.

After a while, Zhang Yu ordered someone to bring over a pair of huge horses. "Brother Mu, please take a look at these horses and tell me which one is the best."

As soon as the words fell, Teng Qin's face immediately fell. He glared at Zhang Yu dissatisfiedly, asking you to test others, not to give away points.

All the horses that can participate in the horse appraisal conference are good horses. If you ask Mu Jia to look at them, no one will say that he doesn't know the value of any horse he points to.

"and many more!"

As expected, there was an accident.

Teng Qin stepped forward and said, "Looking at horses this way is really boring. Since ancient times, people have judged horses by their overall appearance. But since Brother Mu claims to be an expert in horse appraisal, you should demonstrate your abilities today. If you can identify a good horse based solely on its head, I'll give you the win."

what?

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused whispers from the whole audience.

"Teng Qin, everyone who raises horses knows that the height, weight, limbs and fur of a horse are all important. How can you tell the good from the bad just by looking at the horse's head?" Qi Yuxiu was the first to stand up for Mu Zheng.

"Haha!" Teng Qin sneered, "Since ancient times, there have been ten great horse judges. Han Feng judges the teeth, Ma Chao the cheeks, Ernü the eyes, Wei Ji the hair on the mouth, Xu Bei the buttocks, Tou Fa the chest and ribs, Guan Qing the lips, Chen Bei the legs and feet, Qin Ya the front, and Zan Jun the back. If they can all do it, why can't Mu Zheng?"

It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse for Mu Zheng to be compared with the master of horse-picking who has left his name in history.

"But……"

"No buts!" Teng Qin interrupted Qi Yuxiu and turned to look at Mu Zheng: "Just tell me, do you dare?"

Mu Zheng looked at Qi Yuxiu and saw that she looked anxious, so he could only smile slightly to comfort her.

"Then please!"

When these words were spoken, Qi Yuxiu, Zhang Yu, Gong Wen and other people at the scene were all shocked.

Do you agree?

That's too hasty!

"Haha. Very good!" Teng Qin laughed exaggeratedly. He looked at Mu Zheng with playful eyes: "I wish you success."

snort!

It would be strange if it could succeed!

After a while, the Soma Room was set up.

There were five horses in total, hidden behind the large cloth, with only their heads visible. Their height, weight, and body shape were unknown.

Mu Zheng took a look and saw a huge variety of horses, some brown, some black, some white, and some even gray and yellow. More importantly, these horses were all temporarily brought in from nearby horse farms, so no one knew which one was the best.

Mu Zheng's eyes were as sharp as torches as he looked at each horse's head one by one, touching their heads and cheeks from time to time, and occasionally turning over their lips to look at their teeth.

"Hmph! Just pretending!" Jiang Dabai was very disdainful.

"You're so talkative!" Teng Qin fanned himself. "How do you know they don't have real abilities?"

Gong Wen glared at Teng Qin fiercely. How could he not hear that this man was deliberately mocking Mu Zheng? However, he remembered that Brother Mu had said that he knew quite a bit about horses. Perhaps he really could tell a good horse just by its head.

"Master Zhang!" About half an incense stick of time later, Mu Zheng had the answer. With his shout, everyone's spirits perked up.

Have you chosen?

Which one did you choose?

Mu Zheng pointed at the third brown horse and said, "That's it!"

Hearing this, Teng Qin looked at a servant, who was the one in charge of finding the horse.

The servant looked surprised, his eyes wide open. Teng Qin suddenly felt something was wrong, because he had seen the answer from his expression.

Sure enough, when the cloth was lifted, the brown horse had a slight advantage.

A good horse!

"Oh my God, Brother Mu, how did you figure it out?" Zhang Yu and others gathered around.

"Well, it's just a little experience." Mu Zheng felt that appropriate pretense was helpful in making friends.

He quickly organized his thoughts, and the "Si Mu An Ji Ji" written by Li Shi in the Tang Dynasty appeared in his mind. This is a famous book that specifically talks about horses. It is not too much for him to borrow it, right?

"The horse's head should be high and steep, as if carved, yet square and heavy, with less flesh, like a peeled rabbit's head. The longevity bone should be large, like cotton wool wrapped around a jade stone. The sibiricus should be thin and broad, yet also long. The forehead should be square and flat. The eight muscles should be large and bright. The Yi bone should be straight. The Yuanzhong should be deep, the cheeks should be open, and the martingale should be square."

This is a very difficult passage to understand. If someone who is not familiar with horses hears it, it will sound very confusing.

But horse breeders immediately know what this means. For example, the first two sentences translate to "A horse's head should be high, its shape should conceal the flesh and reveal the bones, with distinct bone ridges, as if carved with a knife, and the tendons and bones exposed."

After Mu Zheng finished speaking, he looked at everyone quietly. He was still feeling a little proud in his heart. Fortunately, his brother had memorized this ancient text, otherwise he would have been able to make up his mind based on his experience.

Everyone present opened their mouths wide and looked at Mu Zheng in disbelief, as if they were looking at a saint.

"Great, Brother Mu!" Zhang Yu's face was full of joy. "I've never seen anyone explain the horse's brain so thoroughly."

Mu Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, of course. I've only accumulated this little knowledge through years of hard work. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become Ms. Qi's friend and let her be slandered for no reason."

Uh……

Everyone's faces suddenly became strange.

If you want to talk about horses, just talk about horses. Why bring up that awful thing just now? Are we still supposed to stand up for you?

I secretly glanced at Teng Qin, and wow, his face looked even uglier!

Qi Yuxiu didn't expect Mu Zheng to help her get revenge at this time, so she chuckled. Zhang Yu, in order to smooth things over, looked at Mu Zheng and said, "Brother Mu, besides the horse's head, can you share some of your experience in other aspects of horse selection?"

"Sure, sure!" Mu Zheng didn't refuse. After all, this was a great opportunity to get closer to the owners of the major horse farms. He led everyone around the venue, and when he saw a horse with closed eyes, he would go up and touch its back and legs.

"You see, this horse has well-developed legs and distinct tendons, but a weak back, which means it's good at sprinting."

"Look at this one. Although its limbs aren't as strong as the previous horse, its back is very strong. It's a good long-distance runner."

"Of course, we shouldn't just focus on the horse's legs and back, but also on the withers and hips, as these can affect the horse's running ability."

Although many of the things Mu Zheng said were already known to the horse breeders present, it was just a lively scene when everyone got together. I agree with what you say, and you support what I say.

The emotional value is full.

What's more, more communication means more acquaintances. Before we knew it, several horse farm owners and horse dealers had a crush on each other, and several deals were unexpectedly concluded.

Teng Qin has basically become numb to this.

If there weren't so many people present, he would have wanted to pin Jiang Dabai to the ground and rub him. "Why would you ask me to pick on someone else? Why did you pick on such a tough guy?"

Qi Yuxiu looked at Mu Zheng thoughtfully. He was powerful, knowledgeable, and fearless of power. Where did such a person come from?

Can he help himself?

"Brother Mu!"

"Miss Qi."

"Call me Yuxiu."

"Okay, Miss Yuxiu. May I ask what you want me to do?"

"Come find me tonight when the moon is high in the sky!"
