It was quiet in the stable!
Yan Liqiang stood on the grass calmly. Only the rhinoceros horse that was thrown away by Yan Liqiang snorted, rolled half a circle on the grass, smoothed out an area of the grass, and then quickly turned over and stood up.
The rhino horse seemed to be irritated by Yan Liqiang. After standing up, it stared at Yan Liqiang with its eyes. After shaking its head and shaking its fur quickly, it panted, dug the ground heavily with its hooves a few times, and let out a long neigh. Then it rushed towards Yan Liqiang again, rolling on all fours and splashing mud. Its speed and impact force were like a meat tank.
"Li Qiang, be careful..." Little Leo, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but shout.
Looking at the rhino horse charging towards him, Yan Liqiang squatted slightly with his shoulders lowered. When the rhino horse charged towards him, he suddenly pushed it with his shoulders, colliding head-on with the rhino horse's strong and thick chest and neck, which was like a shield.
Although the rhino horse was powerful, it was not on the same level as Yan Liqiang, who had practiced the "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Divine Art" and had condensed the power of nine elephants in his dantian.
Yan Liqiang did not move. Under the huge impact force, the insteps of his feet sank into the soil of the lawn. The rhinoceros horse that was charging towards him neighed and was knocked to the ground again by Yan Liqiang.
The servants in Eunuch Liu's mansion were all staring with wide eyes.
This time, Yan Liqiang did not let the rhino horse charge over again. Instead, he stepped to the side of the fallen rhino horse. As soon as the rhino horse got up, Yan Liqiang punched the rhino horse on the head, knocking it to the ground, and shouted, "Do you obey?"
The rhino horse neighed and got up again, but was knocked down by Yan Liqiang's punch again!
"Are you convinced?"
The violent rhino horse tried to get up again, but was knocked down by another punch!
"Are you convinced?"
There was no fourth time. Yan Liqiang directly raised one foot and stepped on the body of the rhino horse. The strong rhino horse was suddenly like a turtle pinned by a huge rock. It could only struggle and neigh on the ground, kicking its four hooves and digging several holes in the grass. It wanted to turn over, but it was impossible. Yan Liqiang stepped on its foot and made its body unable to move at all.
The rhino horse struggled helplessly under Yan Liqiang's feet for seven or eight minutes. Finally, seeing that its struggling strength was getting weaker and weaker and it was exhausted, Yan Liqiang lifted his foot and made the rhino horse stand up all of a sudden.
The rhino horse stood up, snorted, and shook its head, looking at Yan Liqiang, but did not make any aggressive moves. Instead, it rubbed its head against Yan Liqiang's body.
Yan Liqiang touched the rhino horse's head, smiled slightly, then turned over and rode directly onto its back. He clamped his legs together and made the rhino horse circle slowly on the grass twice. He then stopped the horse, jumped off its back, came to Eunuch Liu, and smiled at him, "You can ride this rhino horse now..."
Eunuch Liu looked Yan Liqiang up and down again and sighed, "Liqiang, your method of taming the Rhino Dragon Horse is really eye-opening. Now I know why so many horse trainers can't tame it. It turns out that only your divine power can tame the Rhino Dragon Horse. By the way, this Rhino Dragon Horse doesn't have a name yet. Liqiang, why don't you give it a name?"
Yan Liqiang thought for a moment and said, "I have a rhino-dragon horse named Black Clouds Covering Snow. This rhino-dragon horse is completely white, as bright as snow, and there are fish-scale dragon patterns on its neck. It looks like it is about to turn into a dragon. I might as well name it Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon!"
Eunuch Liu thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon, well, this is a good name, and it fits this rhinoceros horse quite well. Li Qiang, the name you chose is quite elegant..."
"Please forgive me, father-in-law!"
"Well, it's not enough to have a horse without armor!" Eunuch Liu said, and then he told Little Lizi beside him, "Little Lizi, go talk to the treasurer of the warehouse and get the black and gold leather horse harness I collected from Moruo last time, and equip this rhinoceros horse with it. When you go back later, Li Qiang can ride this horse back!"
"My father-in-law is really thoughtful!" Little Leo flattered him, and then hurried to put on the Roman harness for the horse.
Yan Liqiang was embarrassed. "Father-in-law, this is really too expensive. I came to your place today to visit you, but you made me feel embarrassed..."
Eunuch Liu looked at Yan Liqiang in feigned anger and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? That year, you traveled thousands of miles to send me a four-wheeled carriage from the Manufacturing Bureau, making me the second person in the imperial capital besides His Majesty who can ride in a four-wheeled carriage. It brought me a lot of honor. I was not polite to you. It's just a horse, but you are being polite to me. If you continue to be so polite, I will be angry..."
"The manufacturing bureau now has a new and improved four-wheeled carriage that runs quieter and more comfortable. If you like it, I will ask the manufacturing bureau to customize one for you..."
"Hahaha, that's right. Although I'm in charge of the Imperial Stables for His Majesty now, to be honest, compared to horses, I still prefer the four-wheeled carriage you made, Li Qiang. It's comfortable, decent, and not afraid of wind and rain. It's much more comfortable than riding a horse..." Eunuch Liu laughed and patted Yan Liqiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't rush to leave at noon. I've asked the mansion to prepare lunch. Today, I can have a good drink with you, Li Qiang!"
…
It was not until the afternoon, after having lunch at Eunuch Liu's house, that Yan Liqiang said goodbye to Eunuch Liu and left, carrying various "gifts" from Eunuch Liu.
In his previous life, the eunuchs Yan Liqiang saw in movies and TV dramas were either extremely evil or weird, and there were few normal people. But in this life, at least for Yan Liqiang, he has not met a eunuch he hates. At least the eunuchs he met were quite polite to him, and they got along well with each other.
This meeting with Eunuch Liu was very necessary. In addition to maintaining the relationship with Eunuch Liu, through Eunuch Liu, the atmosphere between Yan Liqiang and His Majesty the Emperor, which had been tense before, was also eased. Yan Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of Eunuch Liu's house. This time, with the Nian Snake in his body, Yan Liqiang could detect any thoughts in Eunuch Liu's head. To be honest, if Yan Liqiang had not responded properly and eased the relationship with His Majesty the Emperor today, then he might have faced another ending at this moment. Although that other ending would not cost him his life, an order from His Majesty the Emperor could make his efforts in the northwest and Ganzhou for several years come to naught...
“I have the potential to be Wei Xiaobao…” Yan Liqiang thought to himself while riding on the majestic Caiyun Zhuiyun.
On the streets of Imperial Capital City, the queues of people waiting to drink the vitality soup were still there, and the queues were still very long, with no sign of getting smaller. The Imperial Capital City, which was shrouded in the fear of corpse plague, seemed to become lively all of a sudden because of the vitality soup.
When they returned to Luyuan, the Imperial Hospital even sent a bucket of vitality soup to Luyuan. Little Li, who had transformed into Eunuch Li again, organized the people in Luyuan to line up to drink the soup, and sent a large bowl to Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang was of course not afraid of being infected by the corpse plague. He didn't know how the vitality soup was made, so he didn't drink it. Instead, he gave the vitality soup that Little Lizi sent to him directly to the servants who brought him dinner...
In the following few days, even though Yan Liqiang was in Luyuan, the news he heard most was about Yuanqi Soup. In addition to the Imperial Capital City, the Yuanqi Soup prepared by the Imperial Hospital was delivered directly to various places in the capital by horse-drawn carriages every day. Under the organization and arrangement of the government, people from all over the country were grateful every day and lined up to welcome the arrival of Yuanqi Soup.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of His Majesty the Emperor's southern tour is coming!
These days, Yan Liqiang has been practicing hard in the Deer Park every day. If he has time, he will go to the horse farm in the Deer Park to take a walk. Life is not too hard. Since the Yuanqi Soup came out, the number of blood corpses scattered by the White Lotus Sect has become less and less. I don’t know if they are afraid of the power of the Yuanqi Soup. I just don’t know why, the closer the emperor’s southern tour is, the more uneasy Yan Liqiang feels. Yan Liqiang always feels that he has accidentally overlooked something...
