At this moment, Yong'an, who was missed by the old man, also arrived at the border.
It has to be said that Liu Qi, a relative of Manager Min Liang, was a very hospitable person. He was very happy to see Tai Jiye, Yong'an and others again. Not only did he help them to pass the customs smoothly, but when he heard that Yong'an had something to ask for, he specially gave him a ride.
Tai Jiye and his people prepared to camp outdoors for one night, and Yong'an followed Liu Qi to the gate of the border defense army camp.
When facing foreign enemies, border troops prioritized speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy. Warhorses were practically their legs, their indispensable companions in life and death. Consequently, everyone in the border army, from generals to soldiers, loved horses.
Tai Yongan and Liu Qi arrived in the sunset. The soldiers guarding the gate didn't even see Yongan clearly, but were attracted by the big black horse he was riding.
"Oh, here comes a fine horse!"
"Look, look! This big black horse is truly majestic! Where did it come from? It's even more powerful than the warhorses of our border troops!"
Thanks to the big black horse, Yong'an and Liu Qi arrived at the gate and the soldiers were all friendly to them.
The soldiers gathered around and looked at the big black horse excitedly while talking.
"Hey, boys, where are you from and what do you want with us?"
"This big black horse looks like it came from the grassland!"
"You're talking nonsense! Most of the horses in the interior of the country were driven from the grasslands."
Yong'an has been out for so long that he is no longer the silly boy he used to be.
Seeing that the soldiers were interested in the big black horse, he started talking about it.
"This horse was found by my grandfather in the cattle and horse market. It was sick and almost died. My grandfather bought it and cured it with a secret recipe. After it came to our house, we named it Jifeng!
"My father cuts the tenderest grass for it every day, feeds it clean water, and takes it to the river to brush its fur. Even at night, he feeds it grass and a handful of grain."
"Oh, no wonder the horse looks so good, you guys are really dedicated." A soldier smiled and patted the big black horse's neck, his eyes full of envy.
Another soldier also said, "This is the only treatment our general's BMW deserves!"
As they were talking, a captain came over and shouted, "If you don't guard the gate properly, what are you doing?"
The soldiers were indeed somewhat negligent in their duties. When they heard the noise, they quickly dispersed with smiles on their faces.
A soldier who was most familiar with the captain replied, "Two brothers came here to do some business, riding a fine horse. We were curious and talked to them for a while."
The captain glanced at Dahei and was also surprised and envious.
But he still remembered the important matter and asked the older Liu Qi, "Where are you from and what's your purpose?"
Liu Qi quickly saluted and replied with a smile, "General, I am guarding the border gate. This little brother came from the interior and wanted to come to our camp to find someone to deliver a letter. I will help lead the way."
Tai Yongan also bowed and took over the conversation, "General, please forgive me for causing you trouble. I need to find He Xiong, the captain of the He Qian army, and I need to give him a letter in person."
He Xiong?
The captain looked at Tai Yongan carefully for a few times and saw that the boy was tall and strong, with clear and upright eyes and a bit of sharpness. He did not look like a rich and noble man, but he did not look like a wicked person either.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Then follow me. Mr. He Qian is at the horse farm. I'll take you there."
Tai Yongan immediately said to Liu Qi, "Uncle Qi, please go back and tell my uncle San that you don't have to worry about me!"
Liu Qi was a little worried and asked, "I'll wait for you here, and then we can go back together?"
Tai Yongan waved his hand and replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Uncle Seven. As long as I can see General He Qian, he'll have someone send me back."
The general listened and became even more curious about Tai Yongan's identity. He led Yongan into the camp, chatting and asking a few questions.
But Tai Yongan didn't know whether he was being cautious or simply couldn't hear it, so he only said his own name and the dark horse's name, and didn't reveal the rest of the sentence.
Soon, the two arrived at the horse farm, which was bustling with activity.
In the camp, a few wild horses had just been captured from the grassland, and the generals who wanted to change their mounts gathered here, intending to tame the one they liked personally so that it would be more obedient in the future.
A group of soldiers gathered outside the horse farm, shouting loudly to encourage and cheer for the generals.
For a moment, the neighing and shouting of horses mixed together, making a deafening sound.
Wild horses naturally love freedom and of course do not want to be tamed, so they run wildly all over the field and are extremely irritable.
But the generals were also experienced in battle and had great skills. Gradually, almost all the wild horses were tamed, tied to the fence, and pawed with their hooves to express the remaining unwillingness in their hearts!
There was only one white horse that was extremely fierce. It was running with all its might, shaking its long mane. It seemed as if the wind was blowing under its hooves, and it was as fast as lightning!
No matter whether the generals fought alone or worked together, they could not defeat the white horse.
Tai Yongan stood outside the railing, watching with surging emotions, wishing he could go into battle instead of these generals.
The white horse is so majestic, its whole body is snow-white, with only four black hooves. It is fat and strong, and its fur is silvery!
Others are like dark clouds stepping on snow, while it is snow pressing down on dark clouds!
Even the big dark horse's eyes sparkled and he kept whining, obviously he was aroused!
As luck would have it, the white horse was being chased so hard that it had nowhere to run. Seeing that there were fewer people here, it ran straight over, trying to jump over the fence and escape!
The big black horse suddenly raised its front hooves, stopped the white horse, and then jumped into the fence nimbly.
Tai Yongan was startled, and fearing that the big black horse would cause trouble, he stepped on the fence and jumped onto the big black horse's back.
The big black horse chased the white horse for a circle, and Tai Yongan found an opportunity and jumped onto the white horse's back again!
The white horse was frightened and extremely angry. It kicked its hooves and wagged its tail desperately, trying to throw Tai Yongan off!
But Tai Yongan held on tightly to its mane and refused to let go. The big black horse also followed to help, biting the white horse's butt or tail from time to time, of course... the force was very light.
It also knows how to be gentle and considerate to women!
The soldiers and generals nearby were startled by the sudden appearance of the man and horse, and began to ask questions.
"Who is this? Why are you here?!"
"That's right, I've never heard of inviting outsiders!"
"But this big black horse is quite good. It has a lot of bad intentions and actually bites the white horse's butt!"
"Hahaha, that's right, this dark horse is quite cunning, isn't he looking for a wife?"
"It's a pity that this black horse has an owner. It looks even more powerful than the white horse!"
The captain who brought Tai Yongan here was terrified. He never expected that Tai Yongan would steal the generals' mounts.
He stepped on the railing and kept shouting, "Hey, that kid, get out here quickly!"
But Tai Yongan was fighting with Bai Ma and couldn't hear anything at all.
Fortunately, He Xiong came over and pulled him aside and asked, "Is this guy from Tai'an County?"
The young captain was relieved to see He Xiong and quickly reported, "General, I don't know where this guy came from. He just said he wanted to deliver a letter to you!"
Then he remembered something and said, "Oh, that black horse is called Gale!"
