Chapter 1547: 752 King of Black Wind Goes to Battle! (Second Update)_2
Hei Fengqi training is very grueling.
“Do you see that?” the National Master said with a flick of his hand.
Gu Jiao followed the gesture and saw a horse trainer commanding two foals to charge at the fire bridge on the training ground.
They had to dash through the great flas burning fiercely on both sides.
The bridge was also the unsteady kind.
Startled by the fire, one of the foals stood still amidst the flas, crying piteously.
The National Master said, “What you’re seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. The training intensity for the foals within the first year is quite low and relatively safe.”
Gu Jiao muttered, “This is called safe?”
The National Master didn’t respond, but motioned for Gu Jiao to look elsewhere.
That was where the adult mbers of Hei Fengqi were also crossing the fire bridge.
The blaze was bigger, fiercer; not only were the sides along the path burning, but flas had also erupted at both ends of the bridge.
The Hei Fengqi had to charge into the inferno without hesitation.
Not only did Hei Fengqi have to overco their fear of the great fire, withstand the scorching heat, but they also had to hold their breath to avoid inhaling toxic gases.
Hei Fengqi took protective asures. As long as they were fast enough, they wouldn’t get burnt.
But this was the principle. In practice, there were often unforeseen incidents.
The National Master spoke again, “The first item in the assessnt is to cross the fire bridge.”
It took Gu Jiao a while to realize that the assessnt he was referring to was the one for the command of Hei Fengqi.
Are you giving a head start on the questions?
The National Master continued to lead Gu Jiao forward, “In the National Master Hall, there isn’t a single horse that can cross it.”
Fear of fire is an animal’s instinct; only those horses specially trained can temporarily overco their innate fear.
Clearly, the horses of the National Master Hall weren’t required to have such training.
There was a loud bang, as if sothing had exploded.
Gu Jiao turned towards the sound and saw that it was another group of Hei Fengqi undergoing explosive training.
They had to maintain an unflustered formation under the threat of explosions.
Newly arrived horses, frightened, were scattering in all directions, creating chaos at the scene.
The National Master pointed and said, “These horses have been in training since they were three months old, but look, even they are frightened like this.”
Gu Jiao asked oddly, “…The second item in the assessnt isn’t blast training, is it?”
The National Master neither confird nor denied it.
It seed that it was.
If the first two items were sothing the fearless horse king could attempt, then the third one was definitely not feasible.
“A three hundred li ride,” the National Master said.
The horse king was still a baby, and a ride of three hundred li would take its life.
The National Master stopped walking and looked at Gu Jiao seriously, “Our National Master Hall doesn’t have a single horse with such qualities, so do you understand how difficult this struggle for the Hei Fengqi will be? Also, I’ll tell you a secret—the Han Family has a new Black Wind King, five years old, a male, the most formidable Black Wind King I’ve ever seen.”
“You don’t have a chance of winning,”
“Nor do the eleven major families, including the Nangong Family.”
“Are you capable of bearing the entire truth now? If not, then it’s better not to know.”
Liao Chen’s words flashed through Gu Jiao’s mind.
Explosions rang in her ears one after another, along with the horses’ frightened neighing, the cavalryn’s bellowing, the shadows of swords and gleam of armor, as if she were on an actual battlefield.
The voice of Liao Chen and the sounds of the battlefield intertwined endlessly in her mind.
Her chest felt tight, as if so intense emotion wanted to burst forth.
She clenched her fists and said, “I want to go.”
Complex emotions flashed in the National Master’s eyes, “The preliminary selection is tomorrow. I will have Ye Qing choose the best horse from the National Master Hall for you.”
“No need,”
Although the horses of the National Master Hall were good, they were not the warhorses that could fight alongside her.
…
Yangliu Lane.
Mama Nan was drying poison; she was dozing off when she accidentally pecked her head into the sieve in a small chicken pecking motion.
Mama Nan: “…”
Dammit, poisoned again!
Mama Nan, bleeding from the seven orifices, raised her head and looked toward the doorway.
“No way, am I hallucinating from the poison?”
“Mama Nan,” Gu Jiao stepped forward.
Mama Nan reached out to pinch her face. It was warm to the touch.
Not a hallucination.
Jiaojiao really had co back.
Forgetting the poison she was suffering from in an instant, Mama Nan’s face bead with joy, “Why have you co back so quickly? Didn’t they say Ahen’s mother was still recovering and you needed to stay at the National Master Hall for a few more days?”
The events that took place at the National Master Hall had already been relayed at ho by Gu Chengfeng.
The shock that needed to be experienced had already been dealt with.
What they were more concerned about was the future situation of these two children.
Gu Jiao said, “I ca back for sothing. Aren’t Ayan and the others ho?”
