In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

Qin Keyu smiled slyly, then whistled with her finger.

In an instant, hundreds of spirited horses neighed and charged out from the end of the street. The thunderous sound of their hooves quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers from the government office, who marveled at the spectacle.

Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up at just one glance.

"Good horse!"

"Absolutely a fine horse!"

"Well-proportioned bones and muscles, glossy coat, powerful hooves, and a broad, strong back!"

Anyone with eyes can tell this is no ordinary horse; it's a completely different breed from the horses and carriages most commonly used by ordinary people.

"The Turkic horse truly lives up to its reputation!"

"When did you arrive?" Li Yuanchang asked excitedly. Men's love for vehicles has never ceased throughout history. In ancient times, it was horses; in later generations, it was supercars.

During this period, the Turkic horse was essentially like a supercar for men. Of course, there were even better horses, but those were extremely rare.

Qin Keyu smiled sweetly: "Just a short while ago."

"A full four hundred and one horses, how about that? Did I give you the right person?"

"That's amazing, haha!"

Li Yuanchang laughed loudly and couldn't help but rush out of the government office to the sight of the magnificent horses, admiring them as if they were treasures.

These horses are essentially the power source for field aircraft. If the Han Prince's Palace possessed these horses, its overall combat strength would be greatly enhanced.

Even in extreme circumstances, it is not impossible to "break through the encirclement"!

He was very excited. He didn't expect it to arrive in just over half a month. He had to admit that these foreign merchants were really resourceful.

"What about the foreign merchants?"

"I haven't paid the final payment yet." Li Yuanchang suddenly remembered this matter. The court's money hadn't come through yet, and he was thinking of using tiger skin and tiger bones to pay the final payment.

"He left long ago. I paid the balance for His Highness," Qin Keyu said casually as she followed.

Guo Chao and some officials from Liangzhou Prefecture, who were following not far away, were all slightly surprised and revealed a look of curiosity.

Those who know her well know that Qin Keyu is practically half the sister-in-law of the King of Han.

"what?"

Li Yuanchang was surprised and turned to look at her.

But Qin Keyu's expression didn't seem like she was joking.

"Thank you, but I must return this money to you." Li Yuanchang felt like he was a freeloader, having used his wife's money and now his wife's best friend was spending money on him.

This final payment is quite substantial, it's two hundred strings of cash!

Even a wealthy merchant family like the Qin family couldn't ignore it, after all, their wealth only extended to Liangzhou.

It was far inferior to those large trading companies, and even more insignificant than the Five Families and Seven Noble Families.

"Let's talk about it later, it's not much money anyway." Qin Keyu seemed unwilling to discuss money.

"Your Highness, please look for the highlights again." She suddenly raised an eyebrow, her expression meaningful.

"Highlights?"

Li Yuanchang looked at Ma Qun with suspicion.

These Turkic horses varied in color, including brown, white, yellow, and black, but their overall physiques were roughly the same, and there were no disabled or sick horses.

This is almost identical to what the border cavalry used.

"What highlight are you referring to?"

"Is it Ma Yao?"

Qin Keyu said anxiously, "Look again, just one more time!"

Li Yuanchang observed intently, and suddenly, his gaze seemed to lock onto something.

"That……"

He couldn't help but take a step forward.

Qin Keyu's cherry-red lips curled up.

Among the four hundred Turkic horses, there was one with an exceptionally long and flowing mane, displaying a unique crimson color!

In the sunlight, it even looks like a warhorse bathed in flames!

Its head is very high, its limbs are full of muscles, and at first glance it even seems to have the explosive power to travel a thousand miles in a day. Its dark eyes are deep and give it the feeling of a noble among horses.

Li Yuanchang was stunned, just like a young man seeing a supercar.

"Do you like it?" Qin Keyu smiled and put her hands behind her back.

"like!"

"It's yours," Qin Keyu said with a smile.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Yuanchang realized why it was 401 horses instead of 400.

"What kind of horse is this? It must be incredibly expensive!"

"This is a Ferghana horse from the Western Regions. It's not exactly expensive, but it's priceless. Horse lovers wouldn't sell it, but I have a friend who owes me a favor, so I managed to buy it," Qin Keyu said.

Li Yuanchang grinned: "You really are resourceful, managing to get your hands on something like this, but the gift you gave me is far too valuable."

"I have nothing of value to return."

Although Qin Keyu didn't say it, he knew it was an astronomical price; favors were something that could only be bought.

"Who asked you to return the gift? It's to thank you for saving my life last time. Do you want it or not? If not, I'll give it to someone else." Qin Keyu snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with his reaction.

"Hahaha!"

"No, please don't."

"What's given away can't be taken back."

As he spoke, Li Yuanchang couldn't wait any longer and immediately stepped forward, mounted his horse, and rode off.

"hiss!!"

In an instant, the Akhal-Teke horse neighed, its front hooves raised high, even at a ninety-degree angle, displaying an extremely fierce temper.

"Watch out!" Qin Keyu's expression changed.

Guo Chao and his personal guards were even about to rush forward.

"Don't move, I can subdue it!" Li Yuanchang roared on horseback, squeezing the horse's belly with his legs and relaxing his upper body, adjusting his balance to the impact of the Akhal-Teke horse.

Everyone stopped and stood ready.

"hiss!!"

The BMW roared, growing increasingly frantic. When its hooves landed heavily on the ground, the floor cracked open in a spiderweb-like pattern—it was terrifying!

Those who witnessed it exclaimed in astonishment, "What a wild horse!"

It kept charging, startling many Turkic horses and attracting more and more onlookers.

The horse never stopped, jolting wildly, trying to throw Li Yuanchang off.

Every arc made Guo Chao and the others break out in a cold sweat; if they fell, their bones would be broken!

But Li Yuanchang had a natural sense of conquering spirited horses, and his sense of balance was excellent. He didn't try to fight the horse head-on, but instead followed its swaying rhythm.

So it looked like he was about to fly off, but he remained as steady as a mountain and never fell off.

After a full half-cup of tea's time, the Akhal-Teke horse from the Western Regions finally stopped for a while. Li Yuanchang seized the opportunity and pulled hard on the reins.

The muscles in his legs were tense, clamping down on his abdomen like iron clamps, with terrifying force. This body was originally from a trained martial artist, and Li Yuanchang never slacked off after acquiring it.

"hiss!!"

The spirited horse neighed, seemingly in pain.

"Giddy up!!" Li Yuanchang roared again, his murderous aura, as fierce as if he had killed a tiger, swept across the sky.

bass!

The Akhal-Teke horse galloped off, its speed like a blur, and the other Turkic horses gave way.

"They've been stunned!" Guo Chao and the others exclaimed.

Qin Keyu, who had been nervously holding on, finally relaxed her grip and smiled as she watched Li Yuanchang galloping on his horse.

"Giddy up, giddy up!!"

Li Yuanchang kept slapping his horse's rump, charging and leaping across the not-so-wide open space. His horsemanship was amazing, and the wind blew against his cheeks, making him feel an unprecedented joy.

"Hahaha!"

Fast, too fast!

It absolutely crushes 95% of the best horses!

He really liked the gift.
