After jumping out of the courtyard gate, the little horse appeared extremely excited, prancing in circles a few times, its pale golden mane swaying back and forth.
It was truly a sight to behold.
Han Qiwu patted the little horse's head and said, "Little Horse, today I'm going to train you in obstacle jumps, the kind with a time limit. If you do well, you'll get an extra meal tonight."
"Neighhh!"
The little horse was thrilled.
Though it didn't understand what obstacle jumping or training meant, it knew exactly what an extra meal was.
Extra meal meant eating till it was perfectly satisfied!
Yay!
Seeing how delighted the little horse was, Han Qiwu sighed, "So easy to please—just give it food."
He glanced at the map, shook the reins, and rode the little horse toward the road leading to the mine.
That road had few passers-by and some natural stone obstacles that could be arranged a bit to serve as training props.
