Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"They have already retreated. Don't worry. They are familiar with the shortcut and the casualties are not too great. It's just that the force chasing us is three times more than we expected. We just stole about 200 horses from them. That's not a big deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in from outside to report the situation. He Mingyu did not avoid Xiao Lan and directly asked someone to come in to answer the call.

"My Lord, all the horses have been gathered. Do you want to go and have a look?"

He Mingyu asked with shining eyes, "How many horses are there in total?"

"Two hundred and forty-eight horses, including thirty-two mature and good horses." The person who reported it answered with shining eyes?

"No one discovered us, did they?" He Mingyu asked. The noise made by more than 200 horses was quite a big deal.

"Master He, don't worry. We took a detour and came directly here without alerting the people in the town."

"Very good. Most of these horses are foals. We will detain them for the time being and arrange for people to patrol them more closely to prevent them from being discovered."

"Do you think you can keep it a secret?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Why not? All the people here are mine. Besides, this is Liaodong Prefecture, and General Shen has the final say. If I can't even keep this from you, what's the point of being a counselor?"

"So there's no such thing as spies?" Xiao Lan said after hesitating for a while.

He Mingyu leaned back in his chair and relaxed. "Even if there are spies, they can't be one of us. If someone can come here to be a spy, he will probably be caught soon..."

Xiao Lan was speechless for a moment, "I'm going to sleep. It's almost dawn."

He Ming looked at the hourglass and saw that it was almost dawn, so he said, "Go quickly, you can only sleep for an hour, we have to set off before dawn..."

In order to conceal their presence, they planned to set out early. It was still dark and everyone had worked hard all night, so it was not suitable to set out now. When they set out, they could put the wounded on the horses or let them walk in the middle, trying not to let others see them.

Xiao Lan returned to the tent and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. However, she didn't dare to sleep too deeply. She woke up when she heard voices outside. She guessed that it was time to set off, so she got up and opened the tent. When He Mingyu turned around and saw her, he said, "You're awake, let's go."

Xiao Lan rode on horseback beside He Mingyu. They didn't dare to stop for a rest along the way and stayed in the wilderness.

After dinner, Xiao Lan just lay down to rest when she was called up by He Mingyu.

Xiao Lan was really too tired. She hadn't rested since this operation. She closed her eyes and said, "What are you doing? Don't disturb my sleep."

"Don't sleep, come with me to see our results."

"Why don't you just go and see it by yourself? Why do you have to drag me along?" Xiao Lan said.

He Mingyu tempted her, "You want a horse of your own, right? Considering your great contribution last night, I'll give you one."

Xiao Lan immediately came to her senses, "Really?"

He Mingyu smiled and nodded, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Although Xiao Lan's brain was like paste and not working very well, she was very excited when she thought that she would soon have a horse of her own. A horse, and a horse from the Arabs. You know, the horses from the Arabs are all BMWs.

"Let's go, let's set off early tomorrow. I want to go home as soon as possible." Xiao Lan said excitedly.

When we arrived at the place where the horses were kept, all the 248 horses that we robbed yesterday were there. Perhaps because they were not used to the new place, the horses were a little restless.

Xiao Lan looked all the way over and said, "These are all foals. They need to be raised for two years before they can go to the battlefield."

"I plan to keep some horses as stud horses." He Mingyu touched the head of a foal and asked the attendant beside him, "Didn't they say there are 32 more adult horses? Where are they?"

“Right out front, we have the foals and the mature horses separately.”

Xiao Lan immediately fell in love with a chestnut horse. The horse had smooth lines, and Xiao Lan's eyes sparkled as she looked at it. "This is really a good horse."

He Mingyu sneered, "Don't think it's a good horse just because it's handsome."

He Mingyu squatted down and looked at the horse's hooves, nodded in agreement, and said, "It is indeed a good horse."

Xiao Lan thought of He Ming's experience with the passerby last night. "So the reason why those people chased us so relentlessly last night should be this horse. No matter how good this horse is, there is no need to sacrifice so many soldiers to chase it..."

He Mingyu thought of the pursuit last night, but he felt something was wrong. If the soldiers of the Arabs started a war just for a horse, it would be a bit of an exaggeration. Some of them kept holding on to them, why?

He Ming's eyes lit up and he waved his hand to let the attendants leave.

When Xiao Lan was considering whether to retreat, He Mingyu pulled her to the front of the horse.

This horse has an owner, and it has hooves and a saddle. He Mingyu whispered to Xiao Lan, "I want to find out what treasure this horse has."

Xiao Lan looked up and carefully examined the horse, and finally her eyes fell on the saddle behind it. He Mingyu's eyes were also on the saddle, and they smiled at each other. He Mingyu immediately reached out to touch the saddle carefully, not letting go of any corner.

The chestnut horse suddenly became restless, but was subdued by a kick from He Mingyu, and then became obedient.

It seems that this is a horse that knows how to deal with current affairs. It feels that this man has a strong momentum, so it also knows how to deal with current affairs.

Xiao Lan started from the other end of the saddle, and after the two of them had touched the entire saddle, they still didn't touch anything.

He Mingyu frowned, wondering secretly, could it be that he was wrong?

Xiao Lan stood aside, thinking for a while, and then said to He Mingyu, "Master He, try riding the horse."

He Mingyu always knew that Xiaolan was quick-witted, so he pulled the horse out and jumped on it. Xiaolan stood by and looked at him and asked, "Suppose there is something important in the saddle, the owner of the horse will definitely put it where he can see or touch it at any time. You ride on the horse and see which position is most suitable."

He Mingyu, as Shen Liu's counselor, was naturally very smart. Just as he was about to lower his head, Xiao Lan reminded him, "Look straight ahead. You can't keep your head down while riding a horse."

He Mingyu immediately understood. He moved his hand and touched the saddle strap in front of him. He said, "It's here."
