Ren Ning lay in bed for less than five days before he 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 fortress' suspicion and assessment of him did not end.
Running around will cause unnecessary suspicion and suspicion.
Ren Ning knew this very well.
He also understood it very well.
As a war fortress against the Xiliang Empire, it is very difficult to conquer the Yankui Fortress from the outside; relatively speaking, it is easier to launch an attack from within the fortress or cause trouble at the Xiao Wall.
Because of this, the fortress has not allowed civilians from Yunchui to live in it since its establishment. In addition, it has become inevitable and necessary to carefully screen every soldier entering and leaving the fortress.
Especially scouts like Ren Ning, who went deep into the enemy camp and no one else came back except him, must be watched carefully.
Ren Ningzhu, holding a cane, went straight to his striker Gao Deming, exchanged pleasantries and explained his purpose.
"General, although Mrs. Zhang has warned her subordinates not to move their bodies greatly for a short period of time, small movements are not a problem."
"While I am taking advantage of this free time, instead of just lying around and eating nothing, it is better to pick a new pony and train it well. Once my subordinate recovers in the future, he will be able to continue his mission."
For scouts or cavalry, the accompanying horses are 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 humans to surrender. However, it is very foolish to try to subdue the horses that drive the enemy on the battlefield.
Ren Ning would never have such an idea. Even if the horse suited his eyes, he would draw his sword towards it without hesitation and kill it quickly.
Gao Deming hesitated.
This is a normal demand and he couldn't refuse, "Then go ahead and pick it."
"Be careful, don't open the wound again. I don't know what happened to the imperial court in the past two years. The fortress' reserve of gold medicine has long been exhausted, but the supply has been delayed again and again..."
After he finished talking, Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and left the scout camp.
There is a huge breeding camp built in the fortress, which is quite far away from the scout camp.
Ren Ning limped and was sweating profusely before reaching his destination.
However, many places in such a large breeding camp are empty stables, and no horses are kept in them.
Ren Ning looked around, not surprised at all.
The Yunchui Empire has a vast territory and a lot of horses. However, compared to the horses in Xiliang and its northern neighboring countries, the physique, endurance, explosive power, etc. of these local horses pale in comparison.
Therefore, horses within the empire can hardly be used directly on the battlefield. They need to be cross-bred with foreign horses and selected before they can be supplied to scouts or cavalry on a large scale.
However, whether it is Xiliang or the neighboring countries to the north, horses are strategic materials, and their numbers are strictly controlled and exports are prohibited. Therefore, it is not easy for the Yunchui Empire to rapidly increase the number of hybrid horses.
In addition, two years ago, a Xiliang man bribed the soldiers of the fortress. The traitor came in and poisoned the Yuma Camp.
The poison killed a large number of the reserve ponies. The breeding camp has not yet been able to recover.
Accompanying or supervising Ren Ning to choose horses was a smiling bald man named Gu Datou.
Regardless of height or body shape, Gu Datou is larger than the average Yunchui person.
Ren Ning's height of 6 feet 18 meters is not considered short among ordinary Yunchui people, but in front of him he is like a child.
"Butou, why are you punished again?" Ren Ning laughed.
Gu Datou is the kind of person with well-developed limbs and simple mind.
When he went into battle to kill the enemy, he held two hammers in his hands, like a tiger descending from the mountain, as fierce and brave as a tiger.
I had almost reached the second level of military merit accumulation. However, because I often committed various crimes, I deducted all my merits. Therefore, I am still a small soldier to this day.
Hold!
Gu Datou patted his bare forehead and glanced angrily toward the southwest.
"Chen Mazi from Bu San Camp next door always said that every time the people in your scout camp went out, they all died, but no news came back, so it's better to cancel it. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I beat him severely.
He had a meal..."
Ren Ning was silent.
Rock Frontier Fortress explicitly prohibits soldiers from fighting in private.
Although it was reasonable for Gu Datou to do this, it was unreasonable and illegal.
In addition, he has a clumsy tongue and cannot speak straightly when he is anxious. Whenever he defends himself in front of Shang Feng after committing a crime, he often blushes and cannot say a few words that are beneficial to him.
So no matter whether he was wrong or not, he was the one who was punished in the end.
"Ren Mazi, right?" Ren Ning patted his arm comfortingly, "I'll help you beat him to death when I have time."
Private fights are prohibited in the fortress, but public contests or competitions are still allowed.
When there is competition, there are wins and losses, and when there are wins and losses, there are rewards and punishments.
Ren Ning has a lot of experience in thinking about the soldiers' rate of being able to speak neatly and tremble with his hands.
boom!
"That's great." Gu Datou smiled brightly and punched Ren Ning hard in the chest, "This kid caused me to receive ten lashes, and my military merit was reduced by half. Old Ren, please remember to help me avenge you."
"You're the one who did it!" Ren Ning was staggered by the beating, and he cursed: "I have injuries everywhere on my body."
ah?
Only then did Gu Datou come back to his senses and touched his bald head awkwardly, looking at a loss.
Ren Ning laughed and said, "Remember to be gentle in the future. Be careful that I was not stabbed to death by the Xiliang people, but I was beaten to death by you."
The two of them walked around the horse breeding camp laughing and joking, and Ren Ning quickly spotted a black pony.
Although it is said to be a pony, it is not actually a pony.
This horse was tall and almost two years old. It was the horse's most lively and active age. It looked at Ren Ning with its big black eyes and called him affectionately.
Seeing the pony's dark fur, Ren Ning felt close to him. Looking at those big, clever eyes, he made a silent decision.
Despite this, he carefully looked at the pony's smooth fur and inspected its thick hooves; then he patted the horse's strong chest and compared it with the horse's wide buttocks.
Looking blankly at the stall where the horse was raised, Ren Ning was very curious, "This is definitely a good horse. Why has it been kept here without anyone picking it up for training?"
He shook his head in appreciation, "This is such a waste of natural resources."
The boss smiled bitterly, "Everyone knows that it is a good horse just by looking at its physique and spirituality. But brother, you will know after you try riding it."
well!
He let out a long sigh.
"Several people have chosen it before. It was fine when I took it back for training. However, when I tried to ride it, it started jumping around wildly. In the end, I had to send it back after a few months of tossing."
Is there such a thing?
Ren Ning was stunned. How many months could he train a pony?
Goldfinger!
He took a closer look.
Yellow value 80.
Ren Ning perked up.
This is the highest value his golden finger has ever seen.
Yellow means that the horse is temporarily useless and harmless to him. And a value of 80 shows that the horse is definitely a good horse.
What's more important is that the pony is not yet an adult. When it becomes an adult and is officially put to use after training, this value will probably be higher.
"I chose it!" Ren Ning laughed loudly and patted the horse's back, "I'll let you chase the wind from now on."
The manager gave some persuasion, but seeing that Ren Ning was not moved at all, he had no choice but to hand over the procedures.
Half an hour later, Ren Ning led the pony named Chai Feng and happily walked towards the scout camp.
