Chapter 20 Horse Selection
After lying down for less than five days, Ren Ning couldn't sleep anymore and got up to move around the house.

He didn't wander around.

Although no one warned him face to face, the suspicion and evaluation of him in this fortress did not end.

Rushing around will arouse unnecessary suspicion and suspicion.

Ren Ning knew this very well.

He also understands very well.

As a war fortress against the Xiliang Empire, it is very difficult to conquer the Yanzhen Fortress from the outside; relatively speaking, it is easier to attack from the inside of the fortress or cause trouble for Xiaoqiang.

Because of this, since the establishment of the fortress, the common people of Yunchui have not been allowed to come in and live there.In addition, careful screening of every soldier entering and leaving the fortress has become inevitable and necessary.

Especially for scouts like Ren Ning, who did not come back after entering the enemy camp except him, they had to keep an eye on them carefully.

Ren Ningzhu walked straight to Gao Deming, his top striker, with a cane, and explained his purpose after a chat.

"Commander, although Mrs. Zhang has warned her subordinates not to move too much for a short time, small movements are not a problem."

"Taking advantage of this free time, instead of lying down and eating rice, it's better to pick a new pony and train it well. Once the subordinate's body recovers in the future, he can just continue to perform tasks."

For scouts or cavalry, the accompanying horse is another life.

On the battlefield, they are not only mounts, but also comrades who share life and death.

Because of the fear of death, it is still possible for human beings to surrender.However, trying to subdue the horses that drive the enemy on the battlefield is a very foolish thing to do.

Ren Ning never had this idea.Even if that horse is very suitable for his eyes, he will draw his sword to face it without hesitation, and kill it quickly.

Gao Deming hesitated.

This is a normal demand, and he can't refuse, "Then go pick it."

"Be careful, don't tear the wound open again. I don't know what happened to the imperial court in the past two years. The gold creation medicine in the fortress has already bottomed out, but the supply has been delayed again and again..."

After he finished rambling, Ren Ning heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left the scout camp.

There is a huge breeding camp in the fortress, which is quite far from the scout camp.

Ren Ning limped and was sweating profusely before arriving at the destination.

However, many places in the huge breeding camp are empty stables, and there are no horses in them.

Ren Ning looked around, not surprised at all.

The Yunchui Empire has a vast territory and a lot of horses.However, compared with the horses of Xiliang and neighboring countries in the north, the physique, endurance, explosive power, etc. of these native horses pale in comparison.

Therefore, the horses within the empire could hardly go directly to the battlefield. They had to be cross-breeded with foreign horses before they could be used by scouts or cavalry on a large scale.

It's just that whether it is Xiliang or the neighboring countries in the north, horses are strategic materials, and the quantity is strictly controlled and export is prohibited.Therefore, it is not so easy to quickly increase the number of hybrid horses in the Yunchui Empire.

In addition, two years ago, some people from Xiliang bought the soldiers of the fortress.The traitor came in and poisoned the breeding camp.

The poison that time killed a large number of ponies in reserve.The breeding camp has yet to recover.

Accompanying or watching Ren Ning go to the horse selection is a smiling big bald guy, Gu Datou.

Regardless of height or body shape, Gu Datou is bigger than ordinary Yunchui people.

Ren Ning's height of 1.8 feet [-] meters is not short among ordinary Yunchui people, but he looks like a child in front of him.

"Big head, why are you being punished again?" Ren Ning laughed.

Gu Datou belongs to the kind of person with well-developed limbs and simple mind.

When he went into battle to kill the enemy, he held a pair of hammers, like a tiger descending a mountain, he was extremely brave.

The military merits had been accumulated almost to the second rank.However, because he often committed various crimes, he was detained again.So it is still a small soldier.

Fuck!
Gu Datou patted his bare forehead, and angrily glanced towards the southwest.

"Chen Mazi from the Bu San Battalion next door always says that every time you scout battalion goes out, all the people die, but no news comes back, so it's better to cancel it."

"I couldn't get angry for a while, so I beat him hard..."

Ren Ning was silent.

The Yanfeng Fortress expressly forbids the soldiers to fight in private.

Although it is reasonable for Gu Datou to do so, it is unreasonable and illegal.

Coupled with his clumsy mouth, he couldn't even speak straight when he became anxious.Every time he defended himself in front of the forward after committing a crime, he often blushed and couldn't say a few words that were beneficial to him.

So no matter whether he was wrong or not, in the end he was the one who was punished.

"Chen Mazi, right?" Ren Ning patted his arm reassuringly, "I'll help you kill him when I'm free."

Private fighting is prohibited in the fortress, but public contests or competitions are still allowed.

If there is competition, there will be winning or losing, and if there is winning or losing, there will be rewards and punishments.

Thinking of the soldiers with sharp mouths and trembling hands, Ren Ning has a lot of experience.

boom!
"That's great." Gu Datou slapped Ren Ning hard on the chest with a smile on his face, "This kid made me suffer ten lashes, and my military merit was reduced by half. Old Ren, remember to avenge me."

"You made it!" Ren Ning staggered from the beating, and he cursed: "I have injuries all over my body."

what?
Only then did Gu Datou come back to his senses, and awkwardly stroked his bald head with a look of bewilderment.

Ren Ning laughed, "Remember to be gentle in the future. Be careful that I wasn't stabbed to death by Xiliang people, but I was beaten to death by you."

The two laughed and walked around the breeding camp, and Ren Ning quickly took a fancy to a black pony.

It is not small to say that it is a pony.

This horse is tall and tall. Juan Yakou is more than two years old and will soon become an adult. It is the most lively and active age for horses.It stared at Ren Ning with its big black eyes, and called him kindly.

Seeing the pony's fur as black as ink, Ren Ning felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.Looking at those big clever eyes again, he silently made a decision.

Even so, he carefully looked at the pony's smooth fur, checked its thick four hooves; then patted the horse's strong chest, and compared the dismounted horse's wide buttocks.

Looking blankly at the trough where the horse was raised, Ren Ning was very curious, "This is definitely a good horse, why has it been kept here and no one picked it up for training?"

He shook his head feelingly, "This is too reckless."

Notou smiled wryly, "Just looking at its physique and spirituality, everyone knows that it is a good horse. But brother, you will know it after you try riding it."

Ugh!
He let out a long sigh.

"Several people have selected it before. It was fine when it was brought back for training. However, when it was about to get on a horse for a test ride, it would jump wildly. In the end, it took a few months to send it back."

And this thing?

Ren Ning was stunned, how could he not accept a pony for several months?
Goldfinger!
He took a clear look.

The yellow value is 80.

Ren Ning's spirit lifted.

This is the highest value his golden finger has seen so far.

Yellow means that the horse is temporarily harmless to him.And the value of 80 shows that the foundation of this horse is definitely a good horse.

More importantly, the pony is not yet an adult.After a while, when it becomes an adult and comes in handy after training, this value is estimated to be even higher.

"I'll just choose it!" Ren Ning slapped the horse's back haha, "I'll tell you to chase the wind in the future."

Zaotou persuaded him a few words, but seeing that Ren Ning was unmoved at all, he had no choice but to hand over the program.

After half an hour, Ren Ning happily walked towards the scout camp, leading the pony named Chasing Wind.
