Furthermore, it would violate the rules and lead to gossip if people discovered her actions. Ruining Shao Yunduan’s official reputation was not a risk she was willing to take.
Hence, Qiao Xuan refrained from venturing outside to acquire items. Even during their stay in Huning City, she only ventured out once with Princess Shuangfu, always shadowed by attendants, which made it impossible to gather or deposit items into her space.
It was only upon their arrival at Qingdi’s capital that the atmosphere relaxed. During their downtime, they went shopping with Shao Yunduan and Lixia. They procured some valuable items and introduced them to the space. They even brought back some unique local fruit trees, distinct from Great Qin’s apples and pears, such as peach branches, which they cultivated within the space.
With her current free time, Qiao Xuan rode directly to their destination. There, she collected and transferred her favorite herbs into the space. She wished she could find some mushrooms, as they typically appeared on the grassland after rain, but none were in sight at the moment.
When she deemed it time to return, she mounted her horse and rode back.
Soon after, the group continued its journey, taking breaks along the way. After about two hours, they finally rejoined the main group.
Over at the main group, activity buzzed with excitement as everyone busily handled their catch.
Tents were already erected in a suitable location, signaling that they’d be spending the night here.
Three days ago, Prince Nuo Nuo dispatched a team to set up traps to lure the wolves, and today’s results were bountiful. They had managed to eliminate over 30 grassland wolves, in addition to capturing otters, hares, pheasants, and more. The night’s feast promised the freshest game.
What caught everyone’s attention was the discovery of wild horse tracks. The group dispersed to encircle the herd slowly. At a signal, they galloped towards their chosen wild horses, throwing their lassos in a bid to capture them. The subsequent effort to tame these magnificent creatures was a display of intense enthusiasm and excitement that captured the imagination.
In the end, after a spirited struggle, all the wild horses managed to break free and escape, leaving none successfully tamed.
While the Qingdi people might have felt some disappointment, they didn’t harbor significant regret. They understood that this outcome was entirely within the realm of expectations. After all, if wild horses were easily tamed, they wouldn’t retain their status as wild horses.
What no one noticed was that when the dust had settled and the wild horses had made their gallant departure, there was one person conspicuously absent from the entire hunting team…
Later, Ah-Ye returned, riding atop a majestic wild horse with gleaming black fur, resembling black satin. This sight left everyone in awe.
The people from the Qin Dynasty couldn’t hide their pride and were beaming with satisfaction as they basked in the admiration and envy of the Qingdi people.
From a distance, Prince Nuo Nuo and his companions gazed longingly at the magnificent black wild horse, which exuded an extraordinary presence with its agile form. They couldn’t help but envy Ah-Ye’s accomplishment.
Despite its recent taming, the horse retained its proud disposition. Other than Ah-Ye, it paid no heed to anyone else. The Qingdi people were well aware of the wild horse’s temperament and maintained a respectful distance. Additionally, no one contemplated asking Ah-Ye to buy or trade the horse.
They understood that even if Ah-Ye were to agree, it wouldn’t matter unless the horse itself consented. Taming a wild horse established an unbreakable bond of master and steed that transcended human willpower.
