Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Strong Bone Realm Wants to Tame the Lead Horse? Nonsense!

Jiang Zhan gently stroked the lead horse, Little Ba, giving it a pet.

When the time was right, he took a shallow breath, lightly tapped his feet, and leaped up.

Roar—

Little Ba bucked, tossing Jiang Zhan off the horse’s back just as he had seated himself.

"Jiang Qingshi..." Fan Kui wanted to approach but didn’t dare get too close.

It’s still no good!

Jiang Zhan, being a master of the Refining Organ Realm, rolled several times and stabilized himself, but his expression was even more colorful now.

Where exactly did it go wrong?!

He stood on the grass, the wind messing his hair, and his thoughts drifted with the breeze, as he began to recall the entire process of yesterday’s taming...

Initially, it was just a phase of building a rapport, but because of Fang Shidi’s sudden intrusion, Little Ba went wild, and he had to jump on the horse’s back, trying to control it.

He constantly struggled with Little Ba, and in the end, just before he was completely exhausted, Little Ba surrendered first...

Do I have to struggle with Little Ba again?!

Jiang Zhan twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Struggling once more was nothing, but he was afraid that every time he rode Little Ba, they would have to struggle again.

No, that can’t be right!

He furrowed his brows, feeling as though something was missing.

"What am I missing...?"

Jiang Zhan focused on his thoughts.

"I remember at the last moment, I had no strength left, Little Ba was still running, but then suddenly it quieted down..."

"When Little Ba approached Fang Shidi, its body trembled once... trembled... approached..."

"Fang Shidi!"

His eyes suddenly focused, as if he remembered something.

"Fan Kui, where does Fang Qingshi live?"

Jiang Zhan had a feeling Fang Xiao was problematic since yesterday; thinking it over today only reinforced this idea.

Reluctant as he was to admit, his intuition told him that taming Little Ba yesterday had something to do with this attendant!

"Fang Qingshi?" Fan Kui was momentarily stunned, seemingly unable to react to who this person was.

"Quick, take me there!" Jiang Zhan urged.

"...I don’t know where Fang Qingshi lives either." Fan Kui grinned sheepishly.

"Find Meng Zhen! Commander Meng must know."

Yesterday, it was Meng Zhen who came here with Fang Xiao to the Blazing Fire Tiger Horse Field.

So, Jiang Zhan and Fan Kui hurriedly found Meng Zhen, who was training the Tiger Armor Army, where Ling Hao and Ji Yong were also present.

"Looking for Fang Qingshi?" Ling Hao and Ji Yong looked puzzled.

Meng Zhen didn’t understand the situation, but under Jiang Zhan’s urging, he left the drill ground and led them to the tent where Chu Ming was.

"You..." Little Shan was brewing medicinal soup outside the tent, and Jiang Zhan burrowed in without a greeting.

"..." Jiang Zhan’s face changed slightly, and he hurriedly retreated outside the tent. "Um, I’m looking for Fang Qingshi."

His voice wasn’t loud, but both Chu Ming and Fang Xiao inside the tent heard it.

"Young master..." Fang Xiao raised his head to look outside instantly.

Chu Ming put down his cultivation technique, his expression calm, "It’s Jiang Zhan."

"Jiang Qingshi!"

Chu Ming had told Fang Xiao about the Blazing Fire Tiger Horse incident yesterday.

"It might have to do with domestication of the lead horse."

An expression of helplessness flashed across Chu Ming’s brows.

If he guessed right, mental suppression couldn’t help Jiang Zhan fully tame that lead horse; he probably hit a snag today...

"Use a disguise then."

This matter, Fang Xiao couldn’t solve it, he could only use a disguise to see what’s happening.

The two swapped appearances, and ’Fang Xiao’ walked out of the tent.

"Fang Shidi, let’s go for a walk."

As soon as Jiang Zhan saw them emerge, he pulled ’Fang Xiao’ along without explanation.

"Where to...?" Chu Ming felt the force from the grip on his arm, his face slightly changed.

Such strength!

"To tame the horse!"

Tame the horse?!

Oh no!

Meng Zhen, listening at the side, thought Jiang Zhan wanted Fang Xiao to attempt taming the lead horse again.

Yesterday, Jiang Qingshi had wanted Fang Qingshi to try taming the lead horse!

But how could a lead horse be so easily tamed? Fang Qingshi was only at the Strong Bone Realm Perfection, without the strength of the Refining Organ Realm, it was very likely he would get hurt!

He was just about to dissuade them when Fan Kui’s large hand suddenly clapped onto his shoulder.

"Heh heh, Commander Meng, I heard your strength has grown quite a bit. I’ve been itching to try my hand, let’s exchange some moves."

"Old Fan..." Meng Zhen was just about to break free when Fan Kui increased the pressure a bit.

"Come on, let’s have some fun!" Fan Kui laughed heartily.

Meng Zhen was forced to call upon his Qi and Blood Power, engaging with Fan Kui in a fierce duel on the open ground in front of the tent, instantly attracting a crowd of soldiers to watch.

Fang Xiao, disguised as Chu Ming, watched the two Centurions’ contest from the tent, his heart deeply shocked.

The Tiger Armor Army Centurions, each one an expert in the Refining Organ Realm, Meng Zhen and Fan Kui clashing was like two tigers and leopards fighting each other, truly terrifying.

’The young master is right, I should break through to the Strong Bone Realm earlier.’

Outside.

Meng Zhen and Fan Kui exchanged a few rounds, and as Fan Kui saw the distant figures of Jiang Zhan and ’Fang Xiao’ disappear, he suddenly retreated over ten meters, laughing loudly, "I didn’t have breakfast, this wasn’t satisfying enough!"

"..."

Meng Zhen also looked to the distance, his expression becoming increasingly anxious.

He glanced at Fan Kui and hurriedly left.

"I must quickly inform Commander Huo!"

In the Tiger Armor Army, only the six Commanders and the Commander-in-Chief could suppress the lead horse of the Blazing Fire Tiger Horse.

...

Main tent of the Tiger Armor Army.

Xiang Yue and four Commanders gathered around the sand table, making strategic arrangements.

With Chu Ming providing the method of driving away the Barbarian Bulls of the Nine Hordes Kingdom using sticks, Xiang Yue summoned the four Commanders early in the morning to discuss the affairs of attacking Yangjia City in the Nine Hordes Kingdom.

"Commander, although sticks can drive away the Barbarian Bulls, a thousand miles of flatness, uninhabited wildness, supply remains a big problem," the Second Commander Guan Zhen said with a frown.

"Yes, Commander, even if we are to campaign, we should prepare for more days," the two other Commanders chimed in.

Xiang Yue maintained a calm demeanor, adjusting the battle flags on the sand table, "Commander Huo, what’s your opinion?"

"I believe, though we lack supplies, so does the Nine Hordes Kingdom if they are out of their cities. Tiger Armor Army is not a paper tiger; this step will have to be taken sooner or later. Orders from His Majesty are not to be disobeyed!"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Guan Zhen and the other three Commanders slightly changed.

"Well," Xiang Yue placed a battle flag, his tone suddenly becoming stern, "that’s settled then, we march on the Nine Hordes Kingdom next month!"

"Commander Huo."

"Present!"

"You’ll lead the Third Tiger Camp as the vanguard army, responsible for luring and driving out the Nine Hordes Kingdom’s Yangjia City army."

"Yes."

"Commander Guan, you’ll lead the Second Tiger Camp to set up an ambush in the West Wind Valley!"

Guan Zhen hesitated for a moment but still bowed, "I take my orders!"

Orders from His Majesty cannot be disobeyed, nor can military orders, even if he disagrees with proactively going on the offensive.

"Commander An, Commander Duan, you two are responsible for defending Xirong County!"

"Yes."

An Guang, the Commander of the Fourth Tiger Camp of the Tiger Armor Army; Duan Chong, the Commander of the Sixth Tiger Camp of the Tiger Armor Army.

"This battle will be the first for our Tiger Armor Army to move from defense to attack, and I will personally take command," Xiang Yue’s expression was stern, "Go and prepare."

"Yes."

Huo Buyan had just stepped out of the tent when he saw the anxious Meng Zhen.

"Commander Huo, there’s trouble."

"What’s the matter?" Huo Buyan asked in a deep voice.

"Jiang Qingshi has taken Fang Qingshi to the Blazing Fire Tiger Horse Field, Jiang Qingshi wants Fang Qingshi to try to tame the lead horse!"

"What?!" Huo Buyan’s face changed instantly, "Absolutely reckless!"

Guan Zhen and the other three Commanders heard the conversation between the two, their expressions varying.

"Fang Qingshi?"

"The new personal attendant of the Commander-in-Chief."

"Seems to be the one who accidentally created a technique capable of condensing the force of Qi and Blood Power in the Blood Circulation Realm, was previously under Commander Huo’s command."

"This Fang Qingshi seems to be only in the Strong Bone Realm."

"Attempting to tame the lead horse at the Strong Bone Realm... indeed reckless."

Inside the tent, Xiang Yue naturally heard the commotion.

"Let’s go and see." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
