Chapter 6 Tame the White Horse
On the mountain road, two middle-aged men buried all the dead bodies, except for those of the mountain thieves. Yuxiao followed them on his horse and made a quick run to Li's family. It was late afternoon when they arrived. Many people in Li's family had been to sleep. Only a few lanterns lit up the courtyard, and several servants patrolled the courtyard at irregular times.
"You report to the Lord that his second son has died unfortunately. "Said the middle-aged man sadly, after he was knocking at the door of Li's house and looking at a sleepy servant.
Hearing that the second young master was dead, the servant was so frightened that he suddenly woke up and ran toward the backyard.
In a moment, Yuxiao saw the lights of the palace and courtyard shining like day.
A portly old man, about sixty years of age, walked with a trembling step, supported by two members of the family, cried sadly as he walked: "My son…my Fu'er"
When he reached the door, he saw three bodies lying on the ground in the courtyard. He looked towards of them carefully, and found that one of them was his second son. He almost fainted. At this time, an old woman came in here, supported by a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman.
"My son…"
As soon as the old lady looked, she gave a cry of grief and fainted. It's really hard to accept that offspring died before its eldership.
A man and a woman beside her shouted, "mother, mother, wake up" and they let the servants carry the old woman to the inner hall in a hurry.
By this time, Lord Li had recovered his composure and looked at the two middle-aged men, without caring about their injuries, he asked sternly: "Sun Cheng, Sun Jun, what the hell happened?" He completely ignored Yuxiao who standing on one side.
Sun Cheng stepped forward, lowered his head to say: "My Lord." With tears in his eyes, he told the story of the mountain thieves he had just met between the mountain roads.
After Lord Li heard, he noticed Yuxiao. The light shone down, his face and body were covered with dried black blood, with his hair down, he looked like a demon. "Thanks, young man," Lord Li said with a look of gratitude on his face although there was a flutter in his heart "or even my son's body would not be visible."
Yuxiao looked at them in such sorrow, in fact, he touched his heart, he was also thinking that:" If I die, I don't know if my father and mother would be so sad." He heard the Lord's voice and turned around said: "please accept my sympathy, and sorry to disturb you. I came here just want to buy a good horse. I wonder if you could sell me one."
Lord Li looked at him and thought. "Such a young man, who has not only great strength but also ruthless, we can't offend him even if we can't make a good relationship with him." He said with a smile on his face, ""It's very late now, young man. Why don't you rest and clean yourself first, and I'll ask the servant to put on a new suit for you. Then pick out the horses in the stable in the next morning."
Yuxiao nodded in agreement and said, "Thanks for taking care of me."
Lord Li directed the servants to entertain Yuxiao, and some others of them to order coffins.
Yuxiao cleaned himself and changed clothes made of silk brought by the servants of Li's family. He began to build up his Qi by sitting cross-legged on the bed. After a few breaths he settled in, and he did not open his eyes until the first light of the morning came into the room. "A night without sleep is better than rest," he thought. At that moment he heard the servants moving about, and he got out of bed and went outside.
When he went outside, he found that, unlike last night, there was a mourning hall, where servants were all dressed in rough white cloth, and with white stripes round their heads.
At this time, someone saw Yuxiao coming out of the room. He quickly came to him and asked, "Youngster, breakfast is ready. The Lord told me to take you to dinner when you wake up."
Listening to the servant's words, Yuxiao, who had been cultivating Qi for the whole night, felt a little hungry inside. He did not refuse, but went to breakfast with the servant. When he had finished his breakfast, he looked at Lord Li and said. "Thank you for your hospitality. I'd better buy a horse and left."
Lord Li found that the young man was indeed unwilling to stay here anymore, and no longer wanted to stay. He Said: "I'll let Sun Cheng take you to choose a horse, but do not know your name yet, how could I ever repay you."
"My name is Xue Yutao, I didn't do anything to help, but let you to take care of myself so carefully. If there is any chance of meeting in the future, I will help you if I can." "Yuxiao said this time sincerely, without any polite words.
Lord Li was glad to hear that. He and Yuxiao walked out of the living room together and called Sun Cheng. The three of them went to the direction of the stable together.
"Why isn't that horse tied up in the barn?"
Yuxiao looked at a snow-white horse without a rein in its mouth and walked freely in the yard.
"That white horse was accidentally picked up by me when I was walking in the west last year. He has a short temper and is a fiery steed. He was always fighting with other horses and could not be chained anyway. No one has ever been able to subdue it." Sun Cheng explained.
"Oh, that's interesting." Yuxiao got interested in the horse and said. "I'll go and meet him." Then he went from the entrance to the inside.
"Young man, don't do this please. There are a lot of people hurt under his hoof." Sun Cheng said with concern.
"It's ok. I'll try it." Yuxiao ignored Sun Cheng's words and walked to the horse farm to the white horse.
The white horse watched Yuxiao walk towards him and did not run away, but still walked slowly. When Yuxiao came to the front of the hand to touch his head, only to hear the white horse gave a cry and then he raised the front hoof toward him and trampled.
Yuxiao was startled to hear the horse's loud voice, when he saw that the horse was about to kick him by his highly-raised legs. He dodged quickly. Without a kick from the white horse, his hind legs bounced toward Yuxiao's stomach.
"Good one."
Yuxiao shouted as he dodged the white horse's rear hoofs. He leaned close to the white horse and then bent down to get under its belly. He lifted the white horse up easily, and then threw the white horse straight out with his legs bent. The horse made an arc in the air. "Boom ~", the white horse fell on the ground, shaking up some dust. The white horse was about to rise from the ground with a pathetic whine. Yuxiao strode up to him, his arms stuck to horse's neck, his body pressed against the forerunner's legs, and the white horse was not able to get up, no matter how he screamed or bounced.
This scared Lord Li and Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng has known of Yuxiao's strength a little bit, but for Lord Li, this is quite terrified. He thoughts, "it will take a lot of effort to do that."
No matter what they thought, Yuxiao pressed the horse for three or four minutes, but the horse ran out of strength and never stood up again. Yuxiao just released his hand, squatting in front of the horse and touching its head, said: "how about going with me, I am also alone."
The horse's frightened eyes calmed as if it understood him, and its head rubbed against Yuxiao's palm.
Yuxiao was so happy that he lifted him up, and the white horse stood up with his head lowered and rubbed Yuxiao's face. It appears that the white horse was completely calm. Yuxiao couldn't be happier and he patted the horse's forerunner said: "let's go."
After Yuxiao said this, he strode to the door, with white horse behind him in a leisurely walk.
"Youngster, what divine power you have, how can you tame such a strong horse." Sun cheng asked.
"Ha ha, I have no real talent, but only have some brute strength." Yuxiao meant the truth, but they listened as if he was being modest.
"Lord Li, how much is this horse? I should go, too."
Yuxiao looks at Lord Li and asks him. He wants to pay and leave here quickly.
"This horse can't be tamed by anyone else except you which proved that he is destined for you. So you can take it away without paying." Lord Li looked at Yuxiao and said seriously.
"How does that work? I have to pay for it." As he spoke, he took five gold coins out of the bag and gave them to Lord Li
"You really don't need to pay." Li pleaded.
"Yuxiao thought to himself," I will buy a horse and a carriage only cost two gold coins. It is not enough for me to give you five for a single horse. He said, "I'm getting you some money more. How much does this horse cost?"
Yuxiao's words were not good enough for Li to excuse, so he took the five coins quickly and said: "That's enough. That's enough."
And how did Yuxiao know that the horse was purchased at a market price of more than 20 gold coins. Lord Li had Sun Cheng to put a rein on the horse's mouth and put a saddle on the horse's back. Yuxiao left Li's family under the escort of Lord and Sun Cheng, he mounted his horse and ran south.
