“No one noticed, right?” Qi Haoran asked. The commotion caused by more than 100-odd horses was not small.

“General, don’t worry. We walked around the outside of the city and entered the guardhouse directly. We didn’t alarm the city.”

In other words, other than Qi Haoran’s subordinates, no one else knew about this.

“Very good. Those horses haven’t matured yet. Detain them in the horse farm from before and get the men at the guardhouse to intensify their patrol. Don’t let anyone discover them.”

“Is Mount Elephant guardhouse yours?” Mu Yangling asked.

Qi Haoran nodded. “Big Brother has already assigned that place to me. In order not to attract attention, I built a guardhouse there as a cover for the horse farm.” Qi Haoran said, “Before I have the ability to protect the horse farm, this horse farm can’t be exposed.”

“Do you think you can hide it?” Mu Yangling asked with widened eyes. Mount Elephant was only 30 miles away from Hanzhong Prefecture.

However, Qi Haoran asked curiously, “Why not? Everyone in the guardhouse is my men. The 50 miles northwest of Hanzhong Prefecture have been assigned to the 5th Division, so that also makes that my territory. If I can’t even hide this, why would I bother being a general?”

Mu Yangling immediately stopped talking.

“Aren’t there spies or something?”

Qi Haoran leaned back in his chair and said, “Even if there are spies, they’re in the 1st or 2nd Division. The spies who come to my 5th Division will probably be caught very quickly. I’ve already made up my mind. I’ll transfer all the soldiers who were originally guarding the 5th Division to the Mount Elephant guardhouse later. With your additional training and torture for the previous year, they probably won’t let go of a single spy who tried to sneak into the guardhouse.”

Mu Yangling:”… I’m going to sleep. It’s almost dawn, right?”

Qi Haoran looked at the hourglass and said, “Go. You can only sleep for two hours. We have to enter the city before dawn.”

In order to conceal themselves, they were going to enter the city as soon as the city gate opened. At that time, it was still dark and there were not many people in the city. They could place the injured on the carriage or let them walk in the middle, so that others wouldn’t detect anything amiss.

As soon as Mu Yangling lay down, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. However, she did not dare to fall asleep. The moment she heard voices outside, she woke up. She got up and opened the tent. Qi Haoran turned to look at her. “You’re awake? Then let’s go.”

Mu Yangling rode beside Qi Haoran. The soldiers who opened the city gate checked the tokens and took a closer look at Qi Haoran before letting them enter the city.

After Qi Haoran settled the injured soldiers and arranged the funeral arrangements for the deceased soldiers, he finally had time to catch his breath. At this moment, Mu Yangling had already taken a shower and fallen asleep again.

Qi Haoran simply washed his face before knocking on Mu Yangling’s door and dragging her out of bed. “Come, follow me to see our results.”

Mu Yangling said with her eyes shut, “You can just go and take a look yourself. Why must you drag me along?”

Qi Haoran tempted her. “Don’t you want to learn how to ride a horse? How can you learn how to ride a horse without having one of your own? Since you made a great contribution last night, I’ll give you one.”

Mu Yangling immediately sobered up. “Really?”

Qi Haoran nodded. “When have I ever lied?”

Mu Yangling jumped up and said, “Then go out first. 1’11 put on my clothes. It won’t be long.”

Only then did Qi Haoran realize that Mu Yangling was only wearing an undergarment. His face instantly turned red. He immediately turned around and walked out quickly. When he went out, he even tripped over the threshold.

Mu Yangling had just woken up and was still a little confused. Thinking that he was just excited, she went forward and closed the door. At the thought that she was about to own a horse, she jumped on the ground excitedly.

Ahorse, ahorse!

Mu Yangling changed her clothes and ran to pull Qi Haoran. “Let’s go quickly. I’ll ride my horse home tomorrow.”

However, Qi Haoran flung her hand away as if he was shocked, his ears as red as fried prawns. When he saw Mu Yangling looking at him with wide eyes, he blushed even harder. Snorting, he said, “How can you tug at a man like that?” With that, he walked in front.

Mu Yangling scratched her head and muttered, “Haven’t we always been that way with each other?”

Mu Yangling ran after Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran kept a straight face the entire time and did not speak to Mu Yangling. At first, Mu Yangling found it quite , but halfway through, no matter what Mu Yangling said to him, Qi Haoran turned his face away from her. Flaring up, Mu Yangling shouted, “Didn’t 1 just hold your hand? We even hugged and rolled around when we were fighting. I didn’t see you say anything at that time.”

The accompanying personal guards pricked up their ears and secretly glanced at the two of them.

Qi Haoran’s face exploded with redness and even his eyes turned red. He glared at Mu Yangling and stammered, “W-Who hugged you…”

Mu Yangling glared back at him and shouted angrily, “Me! I hugged you!”

The guards looked enlightened and turned to look at Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran almost fell off his horse. He pointed his horsewhip at Mu Yangling, speechless. In the end, he raised his whip angrily and sped up his horse, leaving Mu Yangling behind.

Half of the guards immediately split up to chase after him, while the other half guarded Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling gritted her teeth. She didn’t know what was wrong with Qi Haoran, but she still sped up to chase after him.

After running for about two miles, she saw Qi Haoran waiting for her by the roadside. Mu Yangling rode to his side and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Qi Haoran snorted and did not answer the question. “There will be Hus appearing in this area. Follow closely.” After saying that, he rode his horse and left, but this time at a much slower speed.

Mu Yangling stared at his back for a while before finally catching up.

Seeing that Qi Haoran had already rode to the front, the guard whispered to Mu Yangling, “Miss Mu, Little General was worried that you would be in danger on the way and specially waited for you.”

H 11

Mu Yangling followed Qi Haoran to the Mount Elephant guardhouse. Behind the guardhouse was the horse farm left behind by the former Jin nobles. The 178 horses they had robbed last night were all locked in the horse shed.

Perhaps because they were not used to this new place, the horses were a little restless.

Mu Yangling looked over and said, “These foals are quite big. They should be able to go to the battlefield by the end of spring next year.”

“There’s no hurry next year. I plan to leave some behind to be stallions.” Qi Haoran stroked the head of a foal and turned to ask the soldier accompanying him, “Didn’t you say that eight of them are adults? Where are they?”

“They’re in the horse shed in front. Because they’re adults, they’re placed alone.” The soldier continued after a pause, “Little General, there are saddles installed on the horses. They probably have an owner.”

Mu Yangling burst out laughing. “Which one of these horses don’t have an owner?”

With a reddened face, the soldier replied, “Miss Mu, what I mean is that the eight horses have been tamed and recognized a specific person as their master. You’ll know when you see them. The horse trainer said that the eight horses are excellent horses and won’t be easily ridden by others.”

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran looked at each other before walking towards the horse shed together..
