Zhang Liao said," Don't tell me the lord said that the white horse has an owner? Could it be this person? What's his name?"”
"His name is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong." Oh! I've already named that horse 'Lightning in the Clouds'. What do you all think?”
"Lightning in the Clouds, what an awe-inspiring name."”
"It's a good name," Zhang Liao said."The name is like the horse, and the horse is like the person." My lord, please give my horse a name.”
"Red brown," Lu Ning said softly,"Zhang Changgong flew away." How about 'Shooting Sun'?"
Zhang Liao repeated the name a few times and said,"Good name. Thank you, my lord." Then what should I call your horse, my lord?”
"Blackie." Lu Ning chuckled.”
When Hei Zi heard Lu Ning call him, he immediately replied,""My lord, I'm here."
"I didn't call you. I meant my warhorse is called 'Blackie.'"”
When Blackie heard this, he sighed and was stunned. Guan Tian then said,"My lord, how can you call it Hei Zi? It doesn't sound good at all. It's better to change it to another one. Moreover, it's the same name as me.”
After everyone heard this, they laughed out loud and kept making fun of Blackie.
L??N??ng was also laughing until he was gasping for breath, tears streaming down his face, but he still said to Hei Zi,"Once the name of this horse is chosen, it cannot be changed randomly. Otherwise, this horse will not protect its owner for life. I'm sorry to call you Blackie. When I first named the horse, I only saw that the horse was black and smooth, so I named it Blackie. I didn't expect you to be called Blackie too. Why don't you switch places with Silly this time and let Silly go recruit soldiers while you and Blackie go out with me?”
Blackie's face turned bitter as he said,""My lord, do you see? What do you mean by me and Hei Zi?”
Everyone laughed again, knowing that they could not explain the matter today.
Lu Ning smiled and said to Hei Zi," Alright, alright. It's just a name. When you have children in the next day, I'll help you come up with a better name."”
"My lord, what are the names of the other three horses?" Li You asked.”
Lu Ning said," We can't ride those three horses. We have to keep them and breed more foals. That way, we'll have more good warhorses in the future. Two days ago, I heard from the beast doctor that two of them are already pregnant with foals.”
"Really, that's great."”
L??Ning thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He said to Mai Zi,"Changsui, I almost forgot. Tell Boda to arrange for people to explore iron ores, coal mines and other mineral resources in our territory. We will need a large amount of iron ores in the next step. We must have our own steel factories. The weapons in our soldiers 'hands should be gradually changed, including armors. I want our soldiers to have more sophisticated weapons and equipment so as to improve their individual combat ability.”
"Yes, my lord. I'll talk to Mr. Boda tomorrow."”
Lu Ning then said to Silly," Silly, when you're recruiting soldiers, take some time to search for orphans between the ages of ten and fifteen. If there are any, take them back. However, you must only take orphans who have no relatives in the world. Even if they have relatives, you can't take them.”
Silly replied," It's my lord. How many names does my lord want? What do you want them for?"”
" You don't have to worry about that," Lu Ning said mysteriously." Anyway, I have a use for them. There's no limit to the number of people, but they must be orphans."”
"My lord, if there's nothing else, we're going out to handle some matters."”
Lu Ning waved his hand and told them to go. He was thinking about many things and had endless work to do. Sigh, returning to ancient times was really tough. He hadn't rested for a day, and his mind was still working at high speed at all times. He was constantly in fear, and if he wasn't careful, he would lose his life.
At night, L??Ning returned to the kennel. His head was hurting terribly, and he could not take it anymore. He said to Mu Rongyan,""Girl, come and help me massage my head. I feel a headache today.”
Murong Yan was the daughter of Murong Kang, the leader of the Murong family. After she was captured by Lü Ning's army, Li You sent her to Lü Ning's house to be Lü Ning's maid. At first, the little girl hated Lü Ning to the bone, and her hatred was as deep as the sea. After all, it was Lü Ning who had led his men to destroy his family. However, as time passed, the little girl saw that Lü Ning was not as fierce and ruthless as she had imagined. Instead, he was kind-hearted, approachable, and loved his people like his own children. Moreover, Lü Ning had never stopped beating her or scolding her. He often cared for her.
Slowly, she felt that Lü Ning was a good person, even better than her father. That was why her hatred for Lü Ning gradually faded. Of course, she knew that her own father had killed countless people and committed heinous crimes against the Han people. Moreover, she had been used to the survival of the fittest since she was young, so she did not care about it after a while.
Moreover, there were no outsiders in Lü Ning's house other than herself and Lü Ning. This made her even more puzzled. A strong and powerful big bear with a large army did not even have a servant in his house.
After hearing Lü Ning's words, Mu Rongyan found a blanket to cover Lü Ning's body. Then, she used her soft little hands to gently rub Lü Ning's forehead. As her little hands slowly rubbed, Lü Ning slowly fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Lü Ning woke up and saw that she was still gently massaging Lü Ning. " Thank you," Lu Ning said apologetically." I'm much better now. You should go and rest. I still want to work."”
The little girl stood up straight and was about to turn around when Lü Ning said,""I will be out for a few days tomorrow. You have to take good care of yourself. If you have any difficulties, you can directly look for General Wen Yuan.”
When Mu Rongyan heard that Lü Ning was going out tomorrow, she asked,""How long will Master be gone? I'll help Master pack his clothes.”
"Three to five days at the shortest, ten days at the longest," said Lu Ning.”
After spending some time together, Lu Ning and Mu Rongyan's relationship had become much closer. Especially since the two of them had no relatives in this world, they treated each other as their only family.
Mu Rongyan's gentle eyes glanced at Lü Ning. She wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth, looking pitiful.
Lu Ning stood up and used his hand to gently fabricate something on her delicate face. He gently whispered in her ear,"Don't blame me for killing your tribe and family. There's no better way in this chaotic world. If I don't destroy your tribe, then I will be destroyed by your tribe. This was the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. I'm the same as you. I don't have any relatives in this world. We're all alone and can only take care of ourselves. Of course, if you're willing, you can treat me as your family!”
