Chapter 23

In order to train his troops into elite soldiers as soon as possible, Qin Feng practiced with his men, including Dian Wei and Xu Chu, day and night. Indeed, it was true that one must sweat more in peacetime to bleed less in war.

One day, before dawn, Qin Feng led his men on a five-kilometer run.

When the sun was high in the sky, many civilians, as usual, came to watch the training. Seeing the impressive and majestic steps, they couldn't help but take a few steps themselves.

At this moment, a convoy with the Zhen family's flag arrived from afar. Due to the large number of civilians, it stopped far away.

Dian Yi emerged from the first carriage, looked around, and heard the cheers of the civilians. "This Qin Zijin is indeed extraordinary and has some talent..." Suddenly, his expression changed as he saw his three sons and two daughters get out of the carriages and run over.

The three Zhen brothers had heard that Qin Feng's training was excellent and came to see for themselves. The Zhen sisters, thinking of Qin Feng, also came along.

When the five of them approached, they were shocked by the modern training methods.

Especially the goose-stepping, which was truly majestic and impressive.

The three Zhen brothers were dumbfounded, and the Zhen sisters were equally amazed.

At this moment, a civilian spoke up, sighing, "This General Qin is truly skilled in military affairs; he will surely achieve greatness in the future."

The Zhen sisters, seeing Qin Feng's heroic and valiant appearance, were very pleased in their hearts.

Another civilian said, "Any girl who can marry this man will be very fortunate."

Zhen Mi, hearing this, said in a soft voice, "He is my cousin."

The civilians looked over and couldn't help but exclaim, even more surprised than when they saw Qin Feng training. They saw a young girl wearing a red cap, though young, already showing a stunning beauty.

Another was even more remarkable, with a furry collar around her neck, which was very beautiful, complementing her stunning appearance.

"There are actually such women in the world. In this area, perhaps only this General Qin, who is training the troops, can match her!"

"Didn't they say that General Qin is their cousin? It seems it's settled."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi immediately blushed.

Dian Yi, who followed, heard the word 'cousin' and his heart trembled. He thought, "What cousin? He's just a bandit leader. Not only has he taken over our Zhen family, but he also wants to take my daughters. He even made me go to Luoyang to buy him a white horse from the Western Regions and a meteorite from the sky."

The meteorite was one thing, but the horse was very expensive.

Dian Yi's heart bled as he shouted, "Move aside, move aside! This is the Zhen family's estate, not your village!"

The servants came forward, and the civilians made way, gathering on the other side to watch.

Qin Feng then noticed that his future father-in-law had arrived, and to his delight, his two young wives had also come. Although Qin Feng was training here, he often sent gifts to them. The red cap Zhen Mi wore and the sable fur Zhen Jiang wore were both gifts from Qin Feng.

Qin Feng thought, "My wives have come to visit." He walked over and said with a smile, "Cousins, you've come!"

The two sisters blushed and nodded softly.

Dian Yi thought, "Qin Feng, you only have eyes for my daughters." He was furious but dared not show it.

"Hey, Uncle, are you feeling cold?" Qin Feng, seeing Dian Yi shivering, asked in confusion.

Dian Yi thought, "I'm not just cold, I'm freezing." He coldly said, "Your equipment has arrived, including your Zuiyun horse and the meteorite from the sky."

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

Neighing, a horse's cry caught Qin Feng's attention. He looked over and saw a man leading a horse. The horse was very majestic, completely white without a single blemish. From head to tail, it was ten feet long, and from hoof to neck, it was eight feet high. It neighed and roared, as if it could leap into the sky.

Later, a poem described the majesty of the Zuiyun horse: "Racing a thousand miles, sweeping away the dust, crossing water and mountains, the purple mist opens. Breaking the silk reins, shaking the jade reins, the silver dragon descends from the heavens."

Neighing again, the Zuiyun horse suddenly reared up, lifting the servant who was leading it. With a toss of its head, the servant was thrown into the air with a scream.

Dian Yi, seeing this, shivered and said, "Oh, that's the fifth one!" He saw the Zuiyun horse running away and quickly said, "Zijin, this horse is very powerful. I went through great trouble to bring it here for you. No matter how much it costs, you know it. Now that it's running away, it's not my problem!"

A group of people started chasing the horse, but even Xu Chu and Dian Wei couldn't catch it.

As a gap appeared, the Zuiyun horse was about to escape. Qin Feng was extremely anxious. Suddenly, he had an idea and quickly made a circle with his thumb and middle finger, putting it in his mouth. Immediately, a clear whistle echoed.

Dian Yi, seeing this, mocked, "Zijin, you don't know this horse. No matter how loud you whistle, it won't listen to you."

But before he finished speaking, the Zuiyun horse, which had run far away, suddenly reared up, neighed, and turned back.

Qin Feng was overjoyed and went to meet it. As they got closer, the Zuiyun horse tested him several times before finally approaching. They touched necks, like old friends reuniting after a long time, very intimately.

Everyone was stunned. They knew from Dian Yi's words that this was the first time Qin Feng had seen the horse, so they were definitely not familiar. Someone said, "Those two mighty warriors couldn't catch it, but this man just whistled, and it worked!"

"Truly amazing!"

As everyone marveled, Qin Feng patted the horse's head, "Old friend, we meet again."

The Zuiyun horse, understanding, snorted.

When Qin Feng mounted the horse, the Zuiyun horse leaped up joyfully and shot forward like lightning. For a moment, people only saw a white streak, and Qin Feng was gone.

Racing like thunder, swift as the wind, its hooves touching the ground, dust flying backward.

It was truly: "Snow rises with the wind, white clouds reflect the blue sky, the vast plains are good for galloping, smoke rises to the horizon, the noble steed has a fine breed, the fine horse awaits the hero, galloping swiftly like lightning, truly worthy of entrusting one's life."

Neighing, when the Zuiyun horse reared up on the other side of the sky, everyone's eyes focused on Qin Feng. People suddenly felt that a great figure was about to emerge. The Zhen sisters, looking at that figure, had their large eyes filled with the clarity of a fairy tale.

Later, a song praised the Zhen sisters: "I wish to become the angel you love in a fairy tale. Spreading my arms, turning into wings to catch up with you..."

Zhen Mi, holding her red cap, and Zhen Jiang, pulling the sable fur around her neck, were about to run over. Dian Yi coldly said, "Into the estate!"

The two sisters had to follow Dian Yi, very disappointed.

When Qin Feng returned, Dian Wei and Xu Chu hurriedly greeted him, envious of their lord's new fine horse.

Now, Qin Feng had his troops, his fine horse, and his weapons were almost ready; he only lacked a wife. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
