The captain was startled and rolled on the ground. Just as he dodged the horse's hooves, he saw a horse head with a wide grin, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, biting his head.
Lin Feng had just arrived here when the horse's hooves stepped down. Seeing that the horse was about to bite him to death, he hurriedly tried to stop it. He used only one arm to hold the horse's head, making it unable to move.
When Numa saw that the person who subdued him was Lin Feng, he calmed down and kept rubbing Lin Feng's palm with his horse's head.
After calming the horse, Lin Feng walked up to the captain with a smile. The captain was in a very sorry state, half lying on the ground, with his armor all soiled.
"Sir, calm down. These beasts are ignorant." Lin Feng reached out and pulled up the leading officer.
"You are so strong! I am a strong man too, but I almost broke my hand when you pinched me like that." The captain stood up and looked at Lin Feng with curiosity. When the other party was pulling him up, he felt such a strong force that his hand felt a little painful.
After hearing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "You're too kind. I'm just a farmer, and I only have brute force."
The captain shook his head. "I've seen plenty of peasants, and plenty of big, burly men too. I don't believe they could subdue a frightened horse with just one arm."
Lin Feng still had a smiling face. He said he became so awesome after taking the spiritual spring water.
"These horses are good, but they are too wild and unruly. The situation on the front line is tense and time waits for no one. We don't have time to train them. So, let me send some more people to train these horses into war horses that can charge into battle." The leading officer said to the captain of the stable.
"I'll follow your orders, sir!" the captain saluted respectfully.
"Are you interested in becoming my subordinate?" the captain asked Lin Feng. He was impressed by Lin Feng's great strength. With a little training, this man might become a tough warrior.
Lin Feng quickly shook his head: "My parents are old and frail, my younger sister is young, and my wife is about to give birth. They all need my care and I can't leave them."
"That's a pity!"
The captain sighed. He could actually transfer Lin Feng to his cavalry, but that would involve some cumbersome procedures. So, he decided to keep him at the stables for now and recruit him later when he had time.
The captain took another look at the horses and saw how fast they were running. He liked them more and more and wanted to hurry back and send people to train these horses.
After seeing off the cavalry team that came to pick up the horses, the captain of the stable gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up: "You have a good horse. This officer is so tough! But he was almost killed by a horse. I'm afraid no one will believe it if I tell others about it."
Lin Feng shook his head: "This officer is not so incompetent. His life was threatened, but he did not draw the sword from his waist. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" asked the captain.
"It shows that he loves horses like his life and is unwilling to kill or injure a horse."
"Oh! Come to think of it, but no matter what, these horses have made their appearance! I'm afraid you'll be busy in the future." The captain looked at Lin Feng with a strange smile.
Lin Feng had a bad feeling and asked, "Are you saying that the higher-ups will bring horses from other places for me to raise?"
The captain smiled and nodded. "It's like this. You're a good horse breeder. Once your reputation gets out, Prince Qi, who values talent, will soon find out. You might even become the head of the imperial stables. By then, wealth and glory will be just around the corner. Whenever I see you, I'll have to say, 'Good Sir.'"
After hearing this, Lin Feng thought about it and felt a bit overwhelmed. He originally wanted to hide away and be an idle person, but he was too impatient to feed these horses with spiritual spring water. Now look what happened. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"Captain, I want to ask, have you already reported it?" Lin Feng asked.
The captain was stunned and asked, "Huh? How did you know? I sent a letter yesterday. It was none other than my master, my superior. He's a seasoned groom who loves raising horses. I can imagine what his expression would be when he learned that you'd raised a poor horse into a warhorse in such a short time. Hahaha!"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him. This captain was a quick-witted man who didn't hide anything.
…
Ever since Lin Feng raised these hundreds of skinny and inferior horses into good ones, his status and treatment have also risen sharply. The stable first rebuilt three thatched houses for him, which were fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, new beds, and covered with fine furs. The food and supplies almost filled up the whole house.
After seeing the greatly improved living environment, Lin Feng's brother-in-law was very impressed.
"You stay with Xin the Hunter and Dazhuzi for a few days. I will go home to see your sister." Lin Feng said to Yang Yaozu.
Yang Yaozu nodded: "Brother-in-law, don't worry and go back. We are fine here."
Hunter Xin and Dazhuzi also nodded repeatedly.
Lin Feng smiled. He was not worried at all that his brother-in-law and his men could not take care of so many horses, because these horses had developed intelligence and were no longer the animals that only ate and drank based on instinct.
The horse farm was not far from home. When he got home, he saw his master holding Xiao Hei and practicing wrestling. Xiao Hei's eyes were red and he was trying to fight against Zhang Sanfeng with his bull head. However, the old man remained calm and just pushed and pulled Xiao Hei away.
"Good! Master, you are so awesome. What is the name of this move?" Lin Feng applauded and cheered.
Zhang Sanfeng clapped his hands with a smile and said, "This move is like using a small force to move a large force. It forms a circle when it strikes, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak. It makes it impossible for the opponent to exert force and start, and it defeats the great with a small force."
"Awesome!" Lin Feng gave a thumbs up. A master is a master, he knows so much.
