On a quiet, deserted street, the horse king grinned broadly as it chased after a man and his horse with all its might.
It had been waiting idly in the alley, nearly dozing off, when suddenly a shadow flashed before its eyes, sweeping past so quickly that it blew up its mane!
The horse king had never seen such a fast horse. The excitement instantly dispelled its drowsiness, and it quickly shook off the carriage shaft, bit through the reins, and dashed out in pursuit.
Despite being only two and a half years old, the horse king was faster than most adult horses. It chased after the other horse with all its might but didn’t catch up easily.
It didn’t give up, however, and pursued the other party through several streets.
The tall, strong steed finally stopped in front of a grand mansion.
A guard stepped forward to salute, "Young master!"
Han shizi tugged the reins and responded with a deep voice, "Open the gate."
The guard opened the gate of the Han Residence, and Han shizi rode in. The gate then slammed shut with a bang.
The horse king hovered nearby for a while.
It was a clever horse. Since it was unable to enter through the main gate, it circled around the mansion and found a pasture surrounded by a fence.
At the far end of the pasture, a row of stables could be faintly seen.
The horse king retreated several dozen steps, adjusted its speed, ran forward with all its might, and leapt over in one go!
Its belly barely cleared the sharp edges of the fence!
The horse king’s mane stood on end!
It had almost become a gelding!
As soon as the horse king landed, it galloped straight toward the stables.
Han shizi had just handed his mount over to Han Family’s horse trainer, Chu Nan.
Chu Nan patted the horse’s neck and said with admiration, "Seventeen years old and still so strong."
Generally speaking, a horse at seventeen was like a person in their fifties; their energy and condition started to decline, but this horse seemed to still be in peak form.
Han shizi said proudly, "It’s the Black Wind King, after all."
Chu Nan smiled, "That’s true. Only the Black Wind King could achieve this."
Han shizi stroked its mane and asked, "Can it still go to the battlefield?"
Chu Nan smilingly said, "Not an issue at all."
Han shizi nodded, "Take good care of it. Let it stay in the fight for a few more years."
Chu Nan agreed, "I understand."
After Han shizi left, Chu Nan took the Black Wind King to its own large stable. It couldn’t be housed with other Black Wind Cavalry horses; otherwise, it would scare the entire herd.
Chu Nan brought it some special feed mixed with salt.
The Black Wind King consumed a lot of energy, so just grass or roughage wasn’t enough; special feed and salt were essential parts of its diet.
"Chu Nan! This horse seems to be injured. Come take a look!"
"Coming!"
Chu Nan didn’t have time to take away the feed bucket. He poured water into a nearby trough and went to another stable.
The horse king came over as soon as Chu Nan left.
It had originally come to fight the Black Wind King, but the feed looked so delicious that it immediately squeezed in beside the Black Wind King and started competing for the food.
The Black Wind King, experiencing food theft for the first time in its life: "???"
The Black Wind King was furious!
Unleashing an intimidating aura, it lifted its front hooves to smack the horse king!
But the horse king wasn’t one to be easily bullied; it reared up and struck back with its hooves.
And then it got smacked badly.
The two-and-a-half-year-old horse king was no match for the old Black Wind King!
Realizing it couldn’t win, the horse king quickly got back on its feet, snuggled up to the Black Wing King, and began to nuzzle and bump it, trying to win its favor!
Since the horse king wasn’t an adult, the Black Wind King wasn’t too guarded against it.
After being nuzzled for a while, the Black Wind King didn’t hit the horse king again when it went back to eating.
But just because it didn’t hit the horse king didn’t mean the horse king wouldn’t hit it.
After the horse king finished its meal, while the Black Wind King was still eating, it kicked it with a swift back kick!
After kicking the Black Wind King, the horse king bolted! [TN: Lmao x’D]
The Black Wind King had never been so humiliated before. Enraged and mortified, it chased after the horse king with a powerful killing intent!
With the horse king’s current strength, it shouldn’t have been able to outrun the Black Wind King, but the horse king was running with all its might, tapping into its potential, and for the moment, it hadn’t been caught by the Black Wind King.
The Black Wind King grew angrier as it chased, hating that it couldn’t just stomp the horse king to death.
The horse king didn’t run towards crowded areas, probably understanding that it couldn’t truly get Gu Jiao into trouble, so it darted into empty, sparsely populated alleys.
As the two horses ran past an old, deserted street, a blue-clad man in a carriage heading in the same direction suddenly lifted the curtain and exclaimed, “Big brother, look at that!”
The brown-clad young man, addressed as “big brother,” looked ahead and said, “Is that... a Han Family’s Black Wind Cavalry horse?”
The blue-clad man said, “That’s the Black Wind King, big brother!”
The brown-clad young man was shocked, “How could the Black Wind King... be running on the street like this?”
The Black Wind King was Han shizi's mount, the most valuable horse in all of Shengdu. Everyone knew how much Han shizi treasured it. How could it be allowed to run off alone?
The blue-clad man said, “I’m not sure why, but big brother, haven’t you always wanted a fine horse like the Black Wind King? Since Han shizi isn’t here, why don’t we...”
The brown-clad young man frowned, “Steal Han Ye's horse? Are you out of your mind?”
A calculating glint flashed in the blue-clad man's eyes as he smiled and said, “Big brother, there’s no one else on this street. If you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, who would know we took his horse? He didn’t tie his horse properly and let it run onto the street. Even if we don’t catch it, can you guarantee that someone else won’t? Instead of letting someone else have it, why don’t we take it?”
The brown-clad young man looked ahead, “Weren’t there two horses just now?”
The two horses were running in a straight line, with the horse king’s body hidden behind the tall, strong Black Wind King.
The blue-clad man smiled, “That’s right, big brother.”
The brown-clad man thought for a moment, “If even the Black Wind King couldn’t catch up with that horse, it must be a fine horse as well.”
The blue-clad man closed his folding fan and said, “Then let’s take both horses!”
The two men exited the carriage, used their qinggong skills to leap over rooftops, and took a shortcut to get ahead of the two horses.
They exchanged a glance.
“Big brother! Here!”
The blue-clad man tossed a bottle of powder, and the brown-clad young man caught it, held his breath, poured the powder onto a handkerchief, and leapt onto the Black Wind King’s back.
The brown-clad young man said, “The other horse is yours!”
“Don’t worry, big brother! I’m on it!” The blue-clad man followed suit, preparing a handkerchief with powder and leaping down.
The powder on their handkerchiefs was a powerful anesthetic. Without such means, it would be impossible to handle a fierce horse like the Black Wind King.
As for the other horse, it was probably also a Han Family’s Black Wind Cavalry horse. Though not as formidable as the Black Wind King, it was better to be safe than sorry.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
