Chapter 180: Taming a Horse

"You have arrived? Let's go." However, when he looked at the reluctant horse being held by Lu Wi in the reins, his expression turned strange.

"Haven't you tamed these horses yet?"

"Young master, it has been tamed, but they are still reluctant to let others ride him."

Lu Zhen had an amused expression when he heard this as he slowly walked up to the horse and took the reins.

The horse stayed silent as he remained silent, allowing him to catch its reins.

"How peculiar a horse," he mused to himself as he climbed up on the horse. As expected, the horse stayed silent, allowing Lu Zhen to mount its back.

Lu Zhen pulled the reins of the horse as he tried to move it; however, to his surprise, this time the horse didn't move at all, remaining still with its eyes closed.

"He has become even more disobedient since we had tamed him, young master. What should we do?" Lu Wi said, somewhat embarrassed by her own incompetence. However she was helpless as Lu Zhen was a commander.

He needed the best horse and this was the strongest host even though the other grand elders' horses were weak compared to it but it was stubborn.

"It's alright," Lu Zhen said as he looked at the horse.

"If you don't want to move, I will make you move," he subtly controlled his body, increasing his own weight.

Boom!

The horse felt a pressure that caused its eyes to instantly open as it cried out in pain. Its legs caved inward as it struggled to remain standing, yet there was a deep stubbornness in its eyes as it somehow managed to hold its body weight.

"Huh," Lu Zhen was surprised when he saw this. Although the horse was big and muscular with a healthy mane, his weight had increased to a terrifying 200 kgs, which was an insane number to bear, even for the horses in this world.

"Since you don't want to run, then what's the point of keeping you?" he said coldly, and the horse's eyes, reflecting intelligence, widened with horror.

"I will name you Xiao Hei," Lu Zhen said abruptly, startling the horse again. It had question marks on its face, looking at him with almost puppy-like eyes, as if conveying, "say that again, please."

Lu Zhen was amused as he repeated, "Your name will be Xiao Hei."

Instantly, the horse's front hooves jumped into the air with happiness.

"This..." Lu Zhen was speechless as he shook his head.

"Let's go now," he turned back to see the sparkly eyes of Lu Wi, who looked at him with genuine interest.

Her face instantly flushed with a little shade of red before returning to her normal masculine expression as she said respectfully, "Yes, young master."

Neigh!

The two horses traversed through the forest, making their way to the right of the command camp.

Lu Zhen quickly spotted thousands of small camps set up, each filled with muscular men engaging in training and physical exercises while some were walking around and doing menial chores, he even saw lean people practising archery and even Li Jiao was there instructing her subordinate.

"How interesting," Lu Zhen was intrigued as he kicked the horse, and its speed instantly increased to a terrifying degree, swiftly approaching the camp.

"This..." Lu Wi was stunned as she couldn't keep up with Lu Zhen's speed.

"Who is it?" Two men noticed the figures riding the horse in the distance and frowned.

However, as they got closer, their eyes widened instantly, and they hurriedly went back to the camp.

"The commander has arrived."

Instantly, all the men paused their activities, standing up straight like tall mountains as they gathered toward the entrance with curious eyes.
