Chapter 123 The Horse King Kneels
Seeing that Ma Wang was chewing with relish, and even licking his lips as if he wanted more, Tang Li knew that the time was right.
She picked up the hay bucket at her feet; it contained specially prepared feed that she had added soybean cake, eggs, and a little sugar water to.
【Is it tasty? 】
Tangli seemed to be deceiving an ignorant teenager:
[As long as you behave well, you can have as much of this candy as you want from now on. And...]
She pointed to the hay in the bucket:
This bucket is yours too.
The horse king looked at the bucket of hay that emitted an enticing aroma, and his mouth watered.
It has never eaten anything this good on the grasslands!
[Be obedient? How do I be obedient?]
The horse king was somewhat conflicted: "I am a king! I can't just let anyone ride me! It would be so undignified!"
I won't ride you.
Tang Li shook her head, her gaze sweeping over Zhao Meng, who stood outside the fence with an incredulous expression, a sly glint in her eyes:
See that ugly monster in silver armor over there?
Horse King followed the gaze: "I see it. That two-legged creature looks like it deserves a kick."
Yes, he just mocked me, saying I couldn't handle him.
Tang Li reached out and gently patted the horse king's enormous head, her tone gentle yet carrying an irresistible command:
So, I need your help.
Show him what...gentlemanly manners are like.
Kneel down.
Upon hearing those two words, Ma Wang shuddered.
Kneel down?
It's the Horse King! How can it kneel before a two-legged beast?
No! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated...
"Add two pieces of sugar." Tangli held up two fingers.
[...]
[From now on, we will have eggs mixed with hay every day.]
A puff of hot air escaped from the horse's nostrils, its eyes darting between dignity and delicious food.
Finally, it glanced at Tang Li and then smelled the faint "tiger's might" emanating from her.
Forget it, kneeling before the tiger's boss isn't shameful!
And there's even candy to eat!
Under the horrified gazes of thousands of soldiers.
The black horse that had been so ferocious just moments before, even daring to kick the regent, had actually tamed all its ferocity.
It slowly lowered its proud head.
Then, its two front legs slowly bent, knees touching the ground, and its massive body actually stood in front of Tang Li—
He knelt down!
It gently brought its enormous horse head to Tang Li's hand, even nuzzling her palm in a pleading manner, and let out an extremely obedient sound:
"Hah~"
Pei Yunjing's hand holding the sword froze.
Zhao Meng's mouth dropped open, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The soldiers watching rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
That's the King of the Wild Horses!
It's a wild beast that even the most experienced horse trainers can't tame!
This delicate princess neither used a whip nor any force; she simply fed her a piece of candy and said a few words…
He knelt down already? That's too unbelievable!
Tang Li stood before the kneeling Horse King, stroking the horse's mane with one hand and carrying a bucket of hay with the other.
She turned around and looked at Zhao Meng, who had turned to stone outside the fence.
At that moment, the wind and snow blew her hair. Although she was not wearing armor, her composure and demeanor inspired a desire to worship her.
"General Zhao."
Tang Li's voice was clear and crisp, not loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire venue:
"It seems this horse doesn't necessarily need a whip to be tamed."
She smiled slightly, a smile that could kill without breaking the spirit:
"It's just... a bit picky about food and people."
What do you think?
Zhao Meng's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Although the slap didn't hit his face, it hurt a million times more than if it had!
"good!"
Someone in the crowd shouted first.
Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause and cheers resounded through the sky.
"The Princess is mighty!" "The Princess is amazing!"
Pei Yunjing stood aside, watching the little woman who shone in the wind and snow.
He sheathed his sword, a proud smile curving his lips.
His woman, as expected... can stir up trouble wherever she goes.
However, he likes it.
