After Han shizi came out of the stables, he went straight back to his own courtyard, where Han Che had been waiting in his room for a long time.

"Elder brother!"

Han Che stepped forward to greet him as soon as he saw him.

Han shizi glanced at him and asked, “Are your injuries healed?”

"They've healed long ago." He said. "Elder brother is all better, so how could I not be?"

Just mentioning it made Han shizi's heart flare with anger.

Who could have thought that both of them brothers would get beaten up by a student from a lower state?

Of course, apart from his second uncle, Han Yong, no one else in the family knew about him being ambushed and beaten up, so Han Che just assumed his injuries were from training.

Han shizi entered the room.

Han Che quickly followed, "Elder brother, you must be exhausted, right? Here, have something to drink."

Han Che diligently served Han shizi some tea.

It was his own younger brother; to put it bluntly, Han shizi could tell what he was up to just by the way he walked.

"What do you want this time?" Han shizi asked in a low voice.

Han Che smiled, "Well... nothing much, really, it's just... I heard that there's a new batch of trained Black Wind Cavalry horses in elder brother's cavalry. Could I have one of the strong ones?"

All Black Wind Cavalry horses were strong, so him saying this specifically meant he wanted something above the ordinary.

Han shizi said nothing. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Han Che thought, oh no, elder brother is definitely going to say 'Last time, the trouble you caused after borrowing the Black Wind Cavalry horses wasn't enough?'

But to his surprise, Han shizi didn't scold him this time.

Han shizi picked up his tea cup and suddenly said, "Didn't you have your eye on that kid's horse?"

"Hmm?" Han Che was taken aback, "What kid... ah!"

He suddenly realized the "kid" his elder brother was referring to was Xiao Liulang from Tianqiong Academy.

He looked at Han shizi in a daze, "Elder brother, you..."

Han shizi took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes to hide the fleeting dark look in them, and said, "If he dies, the horse will be yours."

Han Che's eyes widened in disbelief, "Elder brother, are you serious? That horse king will really be mine? I can really have my own horse king?"

That wasn't just any ordinary horse king——it was a wild horse king that could leave the Black Wind Cavalry horses far behind!

Chu Nan had said it was only two and a half years old, not even fully grown, yet it already had such strength. Given time, it would surely become the top horse under the Black Wind King!

Even though he couldn't have his elder brother's Black Wind King, he would be satisfied with this one!

Han Che was so caught up in the joy of soon owning the horse king that he completely ignored the part where his elder brother said, "If he dies."

However, his happiness didn't last long before a piece of terrible news hit them like a bolt from the blue.

"Shizi! Shizi!"

Outside, a servant's anxious voice called out.

Han shizi frowned, put down his tea cup, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant stood at the door, trembling with fear, and said, "Just now, Lord Chu Nan came by and said that the Black Wind King... the Black Wind King has disappeared!"

……

In an alley scorched by the blazing sun, Old Master Meng was sweating like a waterfall, almost roasted into an old salted fish.

He felt that if Gu Jiao and the horse king didn't come back soon, he might get heatstroke on the spot.

Fortunately, just as he was down to his last breath, Gu Jiao finally returned with the horse king.

No, it seemed like it wasn't just the horse king.

The horse king and the horse from the Imperial Advisor's Hall were both pulling a cart. Gu Jiao was sitting at the front of the cart, while at the back... was another horse lying down!

Feng Yuehua had already been driven away by Old Master Meng, so he was the only one here.

He walked over as he sweated profusely, asking, "What's going on?"

"Oh." Gu Jiao jumped down, patted the cart, and said, "I borrowed it halfway. I'll have to return it later."

Old Master Meng: "..."

Was I asking about the cart?

It's the horse!

What's going on with that horse?

You're not planning to eat horse meat, so you brought a horse back from the market, are you?

Old Master Meng whispered to Gu Jiao, "Lass, this horse looks so listless. It’s obviously got horse plague, its meat can’t be eaten."

Gu Jiao: "..."

Black Wind King: "..."

The Black Wind King's condition was worse than Gu Jiao had anticipated. Even after dealing with the major abdominal injury, it still struggled to walk on its own.

Gu Jiao decided to take it back for treatment.

The Black Wind King was covered in mud, and its saddle had long been kicked away by the horse king, so no one recognized it as the famous Black Wind King.

The disciples from the Imperial Advisor's Hall were very enthusiastic and prepared a new horse cart for Gu Jiao, helping her transport the Black Wind King back. As for the cart borrowed halfway, the disciples said they would help return it for Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao thanked them and boarded the carriage with Old Master Meng.

The horse king had gotten injured while pulling the Black Wind King earlier, so Gu Jiao didn't let it pull the carriage this time. Instead, they used a horse from the Imperial Advisor's Hall.

The horse king frolicked ahead of them.

By the time the two vehicles arrived at the residence where they were temporarily staying, night had already fallen.

Lady Nan was wondering why Gu Jiao and Old Master Meng had been gone so long, when she suddenly heard the sound of hooves outside.

She quickly put down the half-picked mung bean sprouts and got up to open the gate for Gu Jiao.

But what she saw was the Black Wind King being carried down on a stretcher by several disciples from the Imperial Advisor's Hall.

She was stunned and murmured, "Are we having horse meat tonight?"

Black Wind King: "..."

Gu Jiao: "..."

After bringing the Black Wind King into the front yard, the disciples from the Imperial Advisor's Hall took their leave.

"It’s a horse we found in the woods. Little Eleven discovered it." Gu Jiao explained to Lady Nan how she had rescued the Black Wind King from the swamp.

Old Master Meng had already heard this story once at the gate of the Imperial Advisor's Hall. At the time, he didn't quite catch on, but now as he listened again, he suddenly sensed something off.

Where in the inner city of Shengdu was there a forest that big?

Could it be that this lass ran off to the imperial hunting grounds?

This might very well be an imperial horse——

Never mind, since it was the people from the Imperial Advisor's Hall who brought the horse back; if the sky fell, just let the Imperial Advisor's Hall hold it up.

Han shizi had turned the inner city upside down in his search, but how could he have known that his Black Wind King had already been taken out of the inner city in a spacious covered horse cart?

With a new horse in the house, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun both came over to check out the commotion.

Gu Jiao stopped her two younger brothers, "We need to wash it first; it's covered in poisonous swamp mud."

Gu Xiaoshun went to fetch water, and Gu Jiao, Lady Nan, and Master Lu worked together for half an hour to clean off the swamp mud.

Only then did Gu Jiao discover that, in addition to the large wound on its abdomen, the Black Wind King also had many smaller injuries.

Gu Yan brought over the little medicine chest, "Here."

Gu Jiao took the little medicine chest, placed it on a stool, and began carefully cleaning the horse’s wounds with disinfectant, tweezers, and cotton swabs.

"It’s seriously poisoned, it’ll need to take medicine soon. If it can’t eat, we’ll have to use an IV drip."

Gu Jiao said.

"Will it let you do that?" Gu Yan asked.

"If it doesn’t, we’ll tie it up." Gu Jiao replied.

When a person was weak, they became especially docile, and the same went for horses.

The Black Wind King lay there quietly, letting Gu Jiao treat its wounds and even accepting the needles without a fuss.

Perhaps it was too severely poisoned and truly had no strength left, or maybe it was because no one here recognized it as the Black Wind King, so it didn’t feel the need to put on a tough front.

Seeing that the Black Wind King had gained a bit of strength, Gu Jiao attempted to feed it medicine, but the Black Wind King couldn’t swallow it. Gu Jiao had no choice but to take out an IV drip to administer the medication.

Gu Yan squatted beside Gu Jiao, watching the Black Wind King obediently accept the needle from her, and said, "It's really beautiful."

The Black Wind King, like the horse king, was a black horse, but the horse king was still a baby, its fur not fully developed and not as glossy as the Black Wind King.

It was entirely jet-black, with a strong and well-proportioned build. Every inch of its muscle was restrained yet full of power, exuding an air of nobility.

"Eh? It's female?" Gu Yan noticed Gu Jiao using a pink bandage on it.

"Yes." Gu Jiao nodded, glancing at Gu Yan with a hint of teasing, and said, "But it’s probably older than you. Come, call her Auntie Horse."

Gu Yan: "..."

Gu Yan pointed at the Black Wind King and said, "I’m older than it!"

He wouldn’t admit that it was older than him!

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…
