Broken Bonds

Chapter 70

Chapter 70:

The Beitang Palace returned back the sent horses three times in a row, and Liu Qi was finally getting impatient, not knowing what they meant. Scratching his head in discomfort, he heard from the shepherd who came back that the horses on the other horse farms were also returned as well.

"Xiaoyan, what kind of horse do they want? Is the beloved horse of King Beitang so rare?"

Yan Feili nodded: "Mo Xue is indeed a rare breed."

"What can we do? We have sent the best horses we have here, if they were not satisfied, then we can't do anything about it."

Yan Feili thought for a while and said, "I remember that there was a mare in the wild horses I caught a few days ago. It was very good."

"What?" Liu Qi was taken aback. "That's Mawang's mother."

In the beginning of the spring of this year, a group of wild horses came grazing from nowhere. There were only a dozen wild horses, but all were agile and brave, running like the wind. Among them, the Horse King, Mawang, is exactly a thoroughbred that is comparable to Mo Xue. It took Yan Feili and Liu Qi some effort to capture them all and feed them alone outside of the other horses. Wild horses are naturally different from ordinary horses, but the mother of that Horse King is a rare and good horse, about the same age as Mo Xue.

"I will check that horse carefully and send it to the Beitang Palace alone in the afternoon." Yan Feili made a decision, confident of the wild horse, hoping to match Mo Xue with the best horse. Then, the foal could be a mount for the Young Prince.

Although he didn't know if that Young Prince was Li'er, but even all parents in the world, even if there is only a little connection, will make them very concerned. The same with Yan Feili.

This time, Liu Qi personally sent the horse to the Palace. He didn't return until the evening, and Yan Feili knew that it was probably a good deal.

Sure enough, in the evening, Liu Qi was happily and smoky with alcohol, and was sent home by the royal family.

"Xiaoyan, our horse was picked by the King and the Young Prince himself. Hahaha...oh!... The King was very satisfied and rewarded us with a lot of things. He also said that we will provide all the horses of the Imperial Guards in the future. Hahaha... heh!..." Liu Qi said cheerfully while drinking.

"Have you seen the boy?"

"Hmm, I saw him, I saw him. Hahaha...haha!" Liu Qi answered drunkenly.

"What does the Young Prince look like? Does he look good?"

Liu Qi came up and was so drunk that he was already lying on the bed, and Sister Liu went out to make a hangover soup for him. Yan Feili listened to him mentioning the Young Prince, he couldn't bear it anymore and kept asking. It's a pity that Liu Qi was drunk and a little confused. The ambergris that the Royal Mansion rewarded him for today was a spirit wine that people like Beitang Ao couldn't even stand.

Yan Feili saw him leaning on the head of the bed, his eyes drooping, and his face flushed, so he went up and pushed him to wake up. Liu Qi shook his head and asked, "What did you just say?"

Yan Feili asked again, his tone eager.

Liu Qi said "Oh!", thinking about it: "Very good. Very great."

"What's great?"

"The little son, little prince is fine!"

"He looks good? How tall is he? What does he look like?"

"The wine that the little prince rewarded...very good!" Liu Qi gave another drink.

"Did he reward you this wine? How could he reward you at such a young age? Alas, Liu Qi, you wake up!"
