An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Why didn't you tell me earlier about all those horses? This is really a problem.

If we put all of them in the bottom warehouse, we have to make sure they don't fight with each other, otherwise the swaying of the hull will be very dangerous and we dare not drive.

Some wild horses, when angry, can even kick the bottom of a boat, which could be fatal."

The old captain stood at the dock, his hands on his hips, his brow furrowed in a serious expression, his tone tinged with reproach and worry. He looked at the group of people and horses before him, feeling a dilemma. Boatmen dreaded this kind of trouble most; if the horses started to get out of control on board, the consequences could be disastrous.

The old boatman's serious expression left no room for negotiation.

The other boatmen also stood on the deck and looked down. Seeing that there seemed to be more horses and carts than people, they also discussed it: "That's too many! Can you take less? We don't dare to take the risk! If something goes wrong, the whole ship will sink. You don't want that, do you?"

There was anxiety and uneasiness in their voices, as if they had already seen the possible risks. On the dock, people and horses were intertwined, and the air was filled with tension.

What should I do if I am questioned and worried before I even get on board?

Ah Qi stepped forward to negotiate, trying to ease the tense situation: "Can you tie some of the horses to the two decks on the first floor, and put fewer horses in the bottom warehouse?" There was a hint of pleading in his tone, hoping to find a compromise.

However, the old boatman stepped forward and revealed his identity. Just as Jing Chunxi had guessed, he was the one at the helm. He was most worried and said bluntly: "There is a carriage on one deck. In order to reduce the weight, everything on the carriage must be moved to the bottom warehouse. The other deck can only tie two horses at most, otherwise it will affect our sailing." His voice was firm, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

Another boatman explained, "Horses usually get scared once they're on board. It's okay in the dark in the hold, but you can't see anything, but you're afraid they'll start fighting. If you're not blindfolded on deck, they'll easily kick their hooves if they get scared."

His words silenced everyone present. Everyone knew how serious the consequences would be if a horse was frightened.

Jing Chunxi was a little confused after hearing this and regretted listening to Tao Jin and taking the sea route. What should he do now?

If she had known this would happen, she would have only taken four carriages. At worst, she would have had the guards run to the dock. She secretly blamed herself for not considering these details in advance.

She had considered putting all the horses in the space, but the guards were all very familiar with their own horses. She couldn't have the horses left in Xunyang City escape on their own when they arrived in Jian'an County. That would be too scary. She knew in her heart that this approach wouldn't work.

Now that we're here, what should we do? I can't just rush over to help the boss lady raise horses! Raising thirty horses is no easy task, and it requires a large area. Just thinking about it is really a headache.

Or they could have someone drive the horses into the woods and quietly put them away, but these were their beloved horses, and they were afraid the guards would not be willing to leave them in the woods!

Abandoning them at the dock was out of the question. Even if Jing Chunxi agreed, no one else would. She knew that these horses were not just a means of transportation for the guards, but also their companions, an indispensable part of their lives.

Jing Chunxi thought about it, became ruthless, and pulled Ah Qi and Chong San aside.

She ordered Ah Qi, "Put them all in the bottom warehouse and explain to the boatman. We promise that these horses won't fight or go crazy." There was a hint of determination in her voice, and she had made up her mind.

Ah Qi didn't say anything yet, but Chongsan couldn't hold back his temper: "But how can we guarantee it? Isn't this cheating people? Their lives are important! Ours are important too." There was some excitement in his voice, and he was obviously uneasy about this practice.

Ah Qi waved his hand at Chong San, signaling him to be quiet, and then turned his gaze to Jing Chunxi. Jing Chunxi said, "If Ma really wants to go crazy, let the boatmen escape first and don't worry about us."

Ah Qi and Chong San were stunned when they heard this, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. "Miss, is this all you have? Are you saying they don't have to die, but we should be the ones to die?"

Jing Chunxi had her own considerations. Even if the horse hadn't gone mad, if the boat leaked or something else happened, she still had to ensure everyone's safety. Since the boatmen were worried and could swim, she let them escape first.

She knew in her heart that she had ways to deal with these situations, but she just didn't want Ah Qi and Chong San to worry too much.

So I patted my chest and promised, "I won't let you die."

Chongsan: ...

Are we afraid of death? We can swim! Our biggest concern is the young lady's safety.

Ah Qi had some suspicions in his mind and cautiously tested Jing Chunxi, saying, "Miss, it's not good to drug the horses. It might be okay for a day or two, but if you drug them all for ten days, we might not be able to keep these horses when we get to Jian'an County."

He knew that drugs were always poisonous, especially when it came to knockout drugs. If a human couldn't handle it, how could a horse possibly handle it? Ah Qi believed his guess was absolutely correct. The young lady must have intended this. After all, he had seen it before: using knockout drugs was the young lady's ultimate tactic.

But as soldiers, they considered their mounts their lives, and they certainly didn't want them to get hurt. If they had to sacrifice one or two, he could understand. But now they had over thirty horses. When they formed the Iron Eagle Battalion, they didn't have that many good horses. How could they just give up now?

"What are you thinking? I have other medicines. They can make them obedient and docile, eat and drink, and grow fat and lively when they arrive in Jian'an County." Jing Chunxi looked at Ah Qi and Chong San's painful expressions and felt a little sorry for them. She knew their feelings for horses and understood their concerns.

She whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, I won't let the horse suffer." There was a bit of firmness in her voice, which made Ah Qi and Chong San feel a little more at ease. After all, they had seen the young lady's abilities.

I couldn't bear to see Ah Qi and Chong San's painful expressions. Seeing them so heartbroken, their eyes were almost bleeding. If they could have such feelings for horses, they must be loyal to others. They are both tough guys with flesh and blood.

We are so lucky to have them protecting this industry!

Seeing that they were already moved and had obviously agreed to his approach, Jing Chunxi said, "But remember, once the horses enter the bottom warehouse, I will be responsible for everything. No one else can enter, not even you, and certainly not the captain or the boatmen. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for the consequences."

There was a certain seriousness in her voice, which made Ah Qi and Chong San afraid to refute. Seeing the young lady's confidence and certainty, Ah Qi responded without hesitation: "Okay! I will arrange for people to guard the warehouse entrance day and night. No one except the young lady can enter. I will go discuss it with the old captain right away!"

He knew clearly that they had to follow the young lady's instructions, and any hesitation would only cause delays for the young lady.

After Ah Qi finished speaking, he immediately pulled Chong San, who was about to ask questions, and dragged him away.

It would be easy if no one went in to check on the horses. Jing Chunxi had already thought about it. After the horses entered the basement, she would sneak in and move them all into the space. There was water and grass in the space, a large area, fresh air, and plenty of food. There was no reason for the horses to dislike it, and it was natural for them to gain weight.

She planned secretly in her mind with a smile on her face.

However, the thunder and lightning can only be left alone for now. They have to be locked up in the house, otherwise the space will be noisy and there might be chaos.
