CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 392: YUAN YINDI RETURNS (PART 3)

"Do you think the Shining Jade Night Lion is famous?"

"Famous!"

Yuan Bao nodded.

Although she didn’t know how the rankings of the Three Kingdoms military generals were determined, or what exactly the rankings were, she thought that since people said so, there must be some truth to the matter.

"The Shining Jade Night Lion originally came from the famous horse lands of the Western Regions. Initially, it was the steed of the Champion Marquis, a formidable general a thousand years ago."

"Later, when the Champion Marquis died young, the Shining Jade Night Lion was released back into the wild. Four hundred years later, during a change of dynasties, a ferocious general known as the Tiger Marquis rode the Shining Jade Night Lion."

"Among famous horses, the Shining Jade Night Lion ranks at the top!"

"And this little fellow here is from the bloodline of Tuoba Han, a famous general of Beili, who also rode a Shining Jade Night Lion. According to the horse trainer, once this little guy grows up, it might not be any less than Tuoba Han’s Shining Jade Night Lion."

"Uncle Cai, how did my little uncle manage to get this little fellow?"

Having heard so much from Cai about the legend of the Shining Jade Night Lion, Yuan Bao naturally understood the value of this colt. How could such a colt, with the lineage of Tuoba Han’s steed, be so easily obtained?

"Well, it’s quite a complicated story!"

Cai raised his hand and scratched his head, "Mainly because Tuoba Han from Beili was suspected by the Beili King and is now in prison!"

"His Shining Jade Night Lion became part of the Beili King’s collection, kept by the Imperial Stables of the Beili royal family as a breeding horse. At that time, the master arranged for people to gather information in Beili, and then they swapped it stealthily, replacing it with another horse. After several twists and turns, the real horse was finally brought to Yanmen County!"

Good heavens, truly remarkable!

Upon learning the origin of her colt, Ta Xue, Yuan Bao was amazed.

But soon, realizing Ta Xue’s extraordinary background, Yuan Bao quickly ran back to find her little uncle. Such a remarkable horse, gifted to her so easily, wasn’t he afraid of being accused of misusing public resources?

When Yuan Bao found Yuan Yindi and expressed her concerns, Yuan Yindi’s mouth tilted into a smile.

"Jiaojiao, you’re indeed your little uncle’s clever girl, to even think of that!"

"Don’t worry, the emperor has already been informed about this!"

Yuan Yindi was no novice; of course, he knew the importance of such a steed.

Shortly after obtaining Ta Xue, he presented a memorial to Emperor Xia.

Of course, in his memorial, he merely mentioned Ta Xue in passing, expressing his intention to gift this colt to Yuan Bao.

For Yuan Yindi’s request, Emperor Xia had no hesitation.

The Shining Jade Night Lion is indeed a well-known steed, but the problem is that this colt of Yuan Bao is still too young and needs two more years to mature!

During this period, regardless of who possesses Ta Xue, it is just being temporarily raised.

Emperor Xia naturally didn’t mind the Yuan Family helping him raise the horse.

"Little uncle, I think you should still give away Ta Xue!"

Although Yuan Bao loved the colt very much, she felt that such a good horse would be wasted if kept in her hands.

As the saying goes, a good horse is best matched with a hero!

The most suitable place for a legendary horse is the battlefield!

Of course, if there are no wars, letting the horse return to nature is the best.

"To whom should I give it?"

Yuan Yindi blinked, "This little thing is still young. Who can we give it to? Besides, no matter who we give it to, people might think your little uncle is trying to curry favor with them!"

"So, this colt is for you!"

Yuan Yindi was well aware that in Yuan Bao’s hands, this legendary horse would likely just be an ornament.

But there’s always a chance.

What if Yuan Bao’s future husband turns out to be a young general?

If so, Ta Xue could have special significance.

In this regard, Yuan Yindi felt he was already standing at the top of the tower, seeing further than anyone else.

"Alright, little uncle, you’re right!"

Yuan Bao thought for a moment and then said no more.

After all, she genuinely liked the colt.

Not to mention anything else, just its bloodline and appearance made Yuan Bao adore it from the bottom of her heart.

"By the way, little uncle, are you back to prepare for welcoming our new aunt?"

Yuan Bao suddenly changed the topic, causing Yuan Yindi to blush.

Because Yuan Bao had guessed correctly!

Yuan Yindi had returned from Yanmen County this time to arrange a wedding.

And it was specially arranged by Emperor Xia’s decree.
