Chapter 67

"Unicorn? Husband, this little horse is called a unicorn? It's so magnificent." Xiao Qiao stood beside Zhang Hao and exclaimed in admiration.

"Uh, I don't know if it's really called a unicorn. By the way, who is familiar with it? Does it have a name?" Zhang Hao asked.

Several people immediately stepped forward and knelt before Zhang Hao. These were the strangers Zhang Hao had mentioned earlier, who seemed to be the grooms sent by Tian Chou to take care of this horse, which was suspected to be a unicorn.

"Your Majesty, this strange beast doesn't have a definite name. The Goguryeo people just call it a dragon horse," a Han groom respectfully said.

"Hmm, dragon horse is quite fitting," Zhang Hao nodded. "What exactly happened? It doesn't seem very obedient. Why did Manager Yan say it's dangerous?"

"Your Majesty, don't look at this dragon horse as if it's still small, but it's very powerful. After the Goguryeo people discovered it, they sent a large number of troops to capture it, but it still injured many people. Ordinary arrows and weapons can't hurt it. Besides, it's incredibly strong and fast like the wind. If it hadn't entered a closed valley, the Goguryeo people wouldn't have been able to catch it. Moreover, its claws are extremely sharp. Last time in Liaodong, we specially prepared a stable with an iron layer, but it still easily tore it open and ran away," the groom who seemed very familiar with the dragon horse explained in detail.

Zhang Hao became more and more curious as he listened. Goodness, this little guy, which hasn't even grown up, is so powerful. It truly lives up to the name of a dragon horse.

"After that, many of us searched, but we didn't see it. In the end, it returned on its own at night. I guess it got used to the life of being fed and taken care of without having to hunt," the thin and clever groom said with a strange expression.

Zhang Hao was speechless. What kind of situation is this?! It feels like we're raising a master!

"Recently, this dragon horse has gotten used to seeing people. As long as no one harms it, it's quite well-behaved. It just likes to go out for a breeze. Manager Yan is right; we can't guarantee it's not dangerous, but with strict precautions, there should be no problem."

Zhang Hao nodded. It would be strange if such a strange beast could be easily tamed, or tamed by ordinary people.

"General Guan tried to tame it in Liaodong, but it didn't work, though it did make the little dragon horse more friendly to people," the groom continued.

General Guan was Guan Yu. Since he went to Liaodong, he has been very proactive. Guan Yu's reputation among the ethnic groups is now quite significant. Although he is somewhat arrogant, he still knows how to follow orders. He has now become a military commander in the Divine Might Army.

Zhang Fei is also in Liaodong, working with Guan Yu. With these two mighty generals, Tian Chou has been much more relaxed.

These were minor matters. Listening to the groom's somewhat proud remarks, Zhang Hao's eyes twitched. This means the little dragon horse didn't treat the people who raised it very well, probably seeing them as servants!

Shaking his head with some regret, Zhang Hao thought, what a pity! Even Guan Yu couldn't tame it, so Zhang Hao had no hope now. Well, let's just treat it like a panda and enjoy its rarity.

Thinking this, Zhang Hao's gaze towards the stable became more peaceful. To be honest, this little dragon horse is truly a valuable and beautiful creature.

This little guy is only about one meter tall, but its body is extremely graceful and strong, with a lustrous jade-white coat. A single horn protrudes from its forehead. Its four paws are somewhat peculiar, similar to a cat's. They usually look like hooves or paws, but can extend four sharp claws when needed. It also has a mouth full of fine, sharp teeth, which are completely different from a horse's.

This should definitely be considered a fierce beast, yet it looks very elegant and noble, and is very appealing.

Zhang Hao wasn't surprised that such strange beasts existed in this world. He had heard similar stories before. The world is rich in primordial energy, with dense vegetation and numerous deep forests. It would be strange if there were no strange beasts.

Just listening to the stories from the generals and elders, he had heard of similar strange beasts. Bears with small wings that can't fly, flying celestial horses, and beasts similar to Qiongqi.

Although they are not as exaggerated as the monsters in the movies and novels Zhang Hao has seen, they are still quite powerful.

To think that even humans can become extremely powerful through training, like those mighty generals, who can burst with full power and feel like human mechs. If the beasts weren't powerful, they would probably feel a lot of pressure.

Since the groom said that the little dragon horse is harmless as long as it's not harmed, Zhang Hao was reassured. He took a few steps forward, and Manager Yan wanted to dissuade him, but thinking of his master's extraordinary abilities, he didn't say anything.

The little dragon horse was quite calm, as if the people around it didn't exist in its field of vision. It just ate its meal on its own.

Even when Red Hare neighed provocatively because it saw its owner, the little dragon horse ignored it.

Zhang Hao looked at the dragon horse's food and was speechless. It was meat, and besides meat, there were also soybeans and vegetables, a mix of meat and vegetables. The way it chewed with its sharp teeth was so comfortable.

"This little guy is quite picky. It only eats the freshest meat, and it doesn't eat pork," the groom said on the side.

Zhang Hao was speechless. Fine, if it likes to eat this way, let it eat this way. After all, King Zhang has money, and raising such a magnificent pet, these expenses are not a big deal.

"Your Majesty, you can give it a few eggs. It likes to eat them. This will help it get familiar with you," the groom suggested.

Zhang Hao was about to do as suggested when suddenly, the little dragon horse lifted its head, its clear and spirited eyes fixed on Zhang Hao, shining with a very peculiar light. It suddenly neighed, or rather, let out a long howl, which echoed in all directions, filled with an inexplicable majesty.

Then the little dragon horse slightly lowered its head, and its horn scraped the fence, causing the specially reinforced wood to split like tofu. The little dragon horse walked out, seemingly targeting Zhang Hao.

"Protect the King!" Manager Yan immediately shouted, and the bodyguards moved even faster than his voice. They drew their swords and knives, and some of them even began to emit the glow of their inner energy. The grooms who were specifically taking care of the little dragon horse were frightened.

Zhang Hao cautiously took two steps back, under the protection of the bodyguards. Even if the dragon horse had any ill intentions, Zhang Hao believed in his bodyguards. These were all carefully selected experts, and the number of people who could emit inner energy showed their strength.

Zhang Hao wasn't worried or afraid, but rather curious about the little dragon horse. What's going on with this little guy? Why does it seem to be targeting me? Zhang Hao believed that since Tian Chou sent it to his residence, it must be confirmed that it wasn't dangerous.

So what caused this unexpected situation? Is it the aura of a king? Well, Zhang Hao himself didn't believe it. As for other things, inner energy was impossible. Could it be the time portal? Can this dragon horse sense the time portal?

It still didn't feel right. What does the time portal have to do with it? Zhang Hao couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't think of anything special about himself.

The little dragon horse was startled by the sudden burst of the bodyguards. As the groom had said, the little dragon horse had experienced the fear of humans with inner energy on Guan Yu. It took a few steps back, feeling something was wrong, and let out a low growl, seemingly angry.

"Wait, relax. It seems this little guy has no ill intentions," Zhang Hao noticed the little dragon horse's eyes and saw no signs of aggression or killing intent, just some anger and more curiosity about Zhang Hao.

After some thought, Zhang Hao walked towards the little dragon horse. Although the bodyguards were worried, they could only be on guard. They also had confidence in Zhang Hao, and their previous protection was more out of duty.

Ready to summon the time portal at any moment, and with his inner energy ready to burst, Zhang Hao approached the little dragon horse.

The closer he got, the more Zhang Hao felt that this little guy had no ill intentions. It even came forward, sniffing around Zhang Hao and nudging him with its small head.

"Your Majesty is destined by heaven. Such a strange beast is so tame in front of Your Majesty, showing that Your Majesty is the one chosen by heaven," a flatterer immediately shouted. The surrounding bodyguards and servants also congratulated, some of them genuinely, but Zhang Hao just listened and passed by. He knew who he was.

Feeding the little dragon horse a few eggs, watching it eat them like beans, its eyes closed in contentment, Zhang Hao seemed to understand why this little guy was willing to be fed by humans.

In the wild, in the mountains and grasslands, no matter how powerful it is, it's not easy to eat as conveniently as in human society.

Petting the little dragon horse's soft fur, Zhang Hao noticed that its skin had a layer of something like jade scales, which explained why it wasn't afraid of ordinary arrows and weapons. Moreover, its body seemed to have a strong recovery ability, with several wounds almost healed, even covered with a layer of small scales.

Perhaps it really treated Zhang Hao differently, as it seemed to enjoy his petting, even licking him with its large tongue from time to time.

Playing with this little guy for a while, and then calming Red Hare, who, although a horse king, showed no temper in front of the little dragon horse, especially when it saw its owner seemed to like that guy, it looked quite resentful. Only after Zhang Hao had a new large stable built for it did it become happy again.

Unfortunately, the dragon horse is still young, and it's unknown when it will be ready to ride. Strange beasts grow very slowly, Zhang Hao thought with some worry. Riding a dragon horse would be cooler than any modern Bugatti Veyron.
