Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

It looked as if it had just been pulled out of the water.

Upon entering the city, Zhao Yuan dismounted.

He patted the sweat-drenched Jade Lion and said,

"Good buddy, I'll have someone give you extra food tonight."

The Jade Lion that Shines at Night seemed to understand.

Nodding his head up and down.

In front of the palace,

Xu Ning, the commander of the Imperial Guards and the Golden Spear General, had just left the palace.

I'm getting ready to go home.

Suddenly, a magnificent white horse appeared on the street.

It is ten feet long from head to tail and eight feet tall.

Xu Ning saw the horse,

His eyes widened immediately.

He had also seen many fine horses kept in the palace.

But no horse is as magnificent as this.

There are indeed some fine horses in the palace.

Tall and strong,

It looks like a thoroughbred horse.

However, these horses only have the appearance of a thoroughbred.

But it lacks the substance of a thoroughbred horse.

It's only slightly better than the best warhorses of the Liao Dynasty.

Their stamina was even inferior to that of the Liao Dynasty's warhorses.

These horses are mostly descendants of the finest steeds collected by previous emperors.

Each one was well-built and could be considered a good horse.

However, it lacks the tempering of the wild environment.

These thoroughbred horses can be described as being pampered and spoiled.

Flowers in a greenhouse

Although they have excellent innate conditions

But it is no longer a thoroughbred.

"Hey, why does the person leading the horse look like the king?"

The king has only been in Hebei for seven days.

It would probably take seven days for a round trip.

It's definitely not the king.

Xu Ning shook his head.

He rejected his own idea.

But as the person got closer and closer...

Xu Ning rubbed his eyes.

Open your eyes wide and look again.

It really is the King.

Xu Ning hurriedly went to meet him.

He reached out to take the horse's reins.

The Jade Lion snorted.

He opened his mouth to bite.

Zhao Yuan took a picture of the jade lion at night.

Only then did the Jade Lion settle down.

Xu Ning took the reins and led the horse.

Xu Ning asked curiously, "Did Your Majesty return from the front lines in Hebei?"

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Could it be that I went to hide somewhere else for a few days?"

Xu Ning laughed and said, "If Your Majesty dares not go to the battlefield,"

"Then no one in the world will dare to go to the battlefield."

"But His Majesty has only been in Hebei for seven days,"

"Why are you back so soon?"

"Could it be that they have already driven back the Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, we won a great victory against the Liao army yesterday."

"Several thousand Liao soldiers were captured,"

"We requested 15,000 warhorses from the Liao Kingdom."

"The army returned in triumph this morning,"

"I'll be back now,"

"Afterwards, we will reward the troops and then head to the Northwest."

Defeat the Liao army,

Xu Ning wasn't particularly surprised.

After all, His Majesty has never been defeated in leading troops.

Moreover, the Liao Dynasty was no longer the powerful Liao Dynasty it once was.

But they won so quickly,

I was a little surprised.

But what surprised him was the sentence that followed.

Xu Ning stared in disbelief.

"Did Your Majesty only depart from the front lines this morning?"

Chapter 1799 Traveling a Thousand Miles a Day

Zhao Yuan stroked the Jade Lion that Shines Through the Night and laughed.

"Thanks to it, this is a true thoroughbred."

Traveling a thousand miles by day and eight hundred miles by night.

This is the legendary steed recorded in historical books, capable of traveling a thousand miles.

However, Xu Ning had never seen it before.

Now that I hear the horse in front of me is indeed a thoroughbred,

He couldn't help but stare intently at her.

Even the fearless Jade Lion, unafraid of tigers and leopards, snorted uneasily.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "If you want to see, I'll leave the warhorse here."

"I'm going to the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress."

"I'll talk to you again tomorrow; I've traveled a thousand miles."

"The Jade Lion is alright?"

"My bones feel a bit loose."

Xu Ning stared at the Jade Lion in the Night, mesmerized.

"Your Majesty, please do as you please. I'll just look at the horses here."

Zhao Yuan watched as Xu Ning gently stroked the Jade Lion that Shines Through the Night.

It was as if I were seeing my beloved woman.

A chill ran down my spine.

They walked quickly towards the palace.

He also loves horses.

But I wasn't that obsessed.

……

royal palace,

Zhao Yuan had just returned.

He then sent someone to summon Wen Huanzhang and Zhu Wu.

"Your Majesty,"

Wen Huanzhang said in surprise,

"We just received the battle report from the front today,"

"Why did you come back?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty traveled overnight?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "No,"

"I broke camp with the army this morning."

"Duan Jingzhu seized a magnificent steed for me from the Liao emperor,"

"I never thought I could actually travel a thousand miles a day."

"I departed from Xiongzhou this morning,"

"We've arrived in Tokyo now."

Zhu Wu thought there really was a thoroughbred horse.

Their eyes also lit up.

"Your Majesty, is that fine horse outside?"

"This humble Taoist priest also wishes to go and take a look."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "It's outside the palace."

"I just ran into Xu Ning,"

"He wanted to see the horses, so I stayed there."

Zhu Wu nodded and said, "Then I'll take a look another day."

"By the way, Your Majesty, how have you arranged the troops in Hebei?"

The report of victory that Zhu Wu and his men received only contained information about the results of the battle.

Nothing else was mentioned.

Zhao Yuan said, "I left Zhang Kai with ten thousand men to guard Hebei."

"He was appointed as the Defense Commissioner of Hebei,"

"The commander of the Hebei troops was given ten thousand warhorses,"
