After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 660: The Mountain God Grants a Horse

Yan Shouyi kowtowed several times towards the mountain temple, and then said excitedly: "Grandpa Mountain God, am I hallucinating? Did you really say that you would reward us with war horses?"

Although the Mountain God had promised to equip Yan Shouyi with some war horses before, Yan Shouyi believed that war horses in the fairy world must be more rare than those in the mortal world. The Mountain God was just a god in charge of the mountain, not the Horse Keeper, so how could it be easy for him to get war horses?

Xu Bo'an said: "You are not hallucinating, it is absolutely true, I came here to give you war horses!"

After hearing what the Mountain God said, Yan Shouyi finally believed that the Mountain God had indeed come to deliver war horses to them. Yan Shouyi was so excited that he could not express it in words.

Not long ago, one of my former superiors sent someone to find me and said that he had heard about my uprising and hoped that I could bring people to join them to discuss important matters together.

Yan Shouyi knew that his superior was one of the leaders who had followed the White Cotton Sect to besiege the cities in Qingmu Prefecture some time ago. To put it bluntly, that man was a member of the White Cotton Sect.

Now that the other party wants me to join, it is natural that they also want me to join the White Cotton Sect.

Yan Shouyi was naturally unwilling to accept such an invitation. Firstly, he was very dissatisfied with the various behaviors of the Baimian Sect. Secondly, Yan Shouyi was doing well as the boss here, so why should he become someone else's younger brother!
But the reality is that if we only rely on ourselves, we are no match for the other side, so it is obvious that those who obey will survive and those who resist will perish.

In desperation, Yan Shouyi made the excuse that he could not explain to his brothers and bargained that he might as well follow the story of Zhuge Liang capturing Meng Huo seven times during the Three Kingdoms period. If the other side could defeat him five times in a row, he would be willing to surrender with his brothers!

Yan Shouyi’s idea was very simple. He was blessed by the Mountain God. As long as he could hold out for these few days and wait for the next appearance of the Mountain God, he would have a way.

I just didn’t expect that the mountain god hasn’t come for so many days.

Today, the battle between the two sides has entered its fourth round. After these four fierce confrontations, Yan Shouyi has been defeated repeatedly and is in a very difficult situation.

In fact, if we simply talk about one's own strength, Yan Shouyi's abilities in all aspects are by no means inferior to those of the Baimian Sect. Although the Baimian Sect's people are very strong, Yan Shouyi is by no means an ordinary person. Compared with the other side, his strength is not inferior at all.

However, in these battles, Yan Shouyi was always at a disadvantage. The key reason was the huge disparity in war horse resources between the two sides.

The White Cotton Sect was a group of people that was organized very early on, with a strong background to rely on. Compared with Yan Shouyi and other rebel forces that were just starting out, it can be said that there was not only some gap in combat experience, but also a huge disparity in resource allocation.

War horses are the most important resource on the battlefield. The Baimian Sect has plenty of war horses. Those horses are fat and strong, full of energy. They are like arrows from a bow, coming and going like the wind on the battlefield, which helps them provide extremely powerful mobility and combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, Yan Shouyi had an extremely scarce supply of war horses, and his only compromise was to use donkeys as war horses. Although donkeys also had a certain degree of endurance, they were far inferior to war horses in terms of speed, strength, and flexibility.

Therefore, in these battles with the White Cotton Sect, Yan Shouyi and his men often missed good opportunities to fight due to insufficient support resources, insufficient stamina of their mounts, and inability to keep up with the speed to fight for a long time, which led to Yan Shou's side falling into a passive position and ultimately being defeated again and again.

After losing four games in a row, Yan Shouyi felt a little weak and wondered whether he should go and pray to the mountain god as soon as possible.

After all, although the two parties only had a verbal agreement, Yan Shouyi knew that if he did not abide by the agreement, he would be annihilated!
But Yan Shouyi also knew that asking the Mountain God for help for such a matter would undoubtedly be tantamount to actively showing his incompetence, and there was even the suspicion of using the Mountain God as a tool, so Yan Shouyi was under a lot of pressure recently.

Especially since both sides have already fought for the fourth time today and there is only one last chance left, Yan Shouyi is extremely depressed. Although he has great ambitions, he lacks the help of a warhorse. If this goes on, this last chance will probably end in failure.

Just when he was extremely depressed, the Mountain God unexpectedly showed up so cleverly and said that he came to give him a war horse. How could Yan Shouyi not be excited?

Seeing Yan Shouyi was too excited to speak, Xu Bo'an asked knowingly, "Why don't you answer? Don't you want the warhorse I gave you as a reward?"

After hearing what the Mountain God said, Yan Shouyi finally recovered from his excitement and said hurriedly with great fear and trepidation: "The reason why I didn't reply in time is not that I don't want the war horses you gave me, but I was too excited when I heard that you wanted to give us war horses. This timely rain came too timely. I didn't react for a while. Please forgive me, Mountain God!"

When Xu Boan focused his sight on the bonsai world just now, he saw the battle between Yan Shouyi and those people, and knew that the reason why Yan Shouyi failed was because the opponent's warhorse was too powerful, and the donkey used by Yan Shouyi's side could not be compared with it. Of course, he knew that what Yan Shouyi and his team lacked most at the moment was a warhorse, and they would never refuse his kindness.

Although war horses are the most important strategic reserve in war, their casual buying and selling is not allowed in the bonsai world. It is understandable that Xu Boan was so excited when Yan Shouyi heard that he was rewarded with a war horse.

Thinking about the scene he just saw, Xu Bo'an asked Yan Shouyi in confusion: "Who were those people who just fought with you?"

Yan Shouyi did not dare to answer the mountain god and said truthfully: "In reply to the mountain god, the people who just fought with us are from the White Cotton Sect, and the leader is my former superior, who wants me to surrender to them. I naturally don't want to, but I can't beat them, so we made an agreement with the White Cotton Sect that the two sides will fight five times, and the side that loses consecutively will surrender to the other side.

We have fought four rounds, and we have lost every time. It's not that our warriors are not strong enough, but the main reason is that we lack war horses. The last round of competition will be held in two days, and we still have no idea about the war horses. If we fail again this time, I will have no choice but to surrender to the other side as agreed.
Fortunately, you, the Mountain God, appeared in time with great power and offered us war horses. Now that we have waited until the last round, we will surely win! We won’t have to submit to anyone.”

After listening to Yan Shouyi's words, Xu Boan realized that the people he had just seen fighting against Yan Shouyi were actually members of the White Cotton Sect. Xu Boan had heard of the people of this sect before. It was these people who were responsible for the siege of Shanyang County before. It can be said that they are quite powerful.

I didn't expect that Yan Shouyi would encounter such a strong opponent recently. No wonder he was so excited when he heard that I was giving him a war horse.

Understanding the seriousness of the matter, Xu Bo'an said to Yan Shouyi without further ado, "It seems that I have come at the right time. Without further ado, I will reward you with more than a hundred war horses. Go find some people to meet you, and I will hand over the horses to you right away."

When Yan Shouyi heard what the Mountain God said, he replied excitedly, "Yes! Mountain God, I will tell someone to do it right away."

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and instructed an attendant who was beside him. When the attendant heard Yan Shouyi's instructions, his face was full of excitement and he rushed out the door excitedly.

Soon, Xu Bo'an saw more than a hundred soldiers gathered outside the door, all with excited expressions on their faces. When Yan Shouyi saw that everyone was there, he strode out of the yard and said to everyone, "Soldiers, today the mountain god will give us war horses. Everyone disperse to both sides and move the war horses given by the mountain god to the stables one by one. Take good care of them!"

When the soldiers heard Yan Shouyi's words, they quickly dispersed to both sides, leaving a large open space in the middle.

Xu Bo'an focused his attention on the courtyard outside the temple. Seeing that Yan Shouyi had made all the arrangements, he touched the real horses one by one.

The moment those horses were touched by Xu Boan's palm, they were teleported into the bonsai world.

Xu Boan very carefully converted each warhorse into a size suitable for the little guys in the bonsai world to ride, and put them in one by one.

Soon, Yan Shouyi and his brothers saw an astonishing scene. The sky was continuously covered by black shadows, and the war horses were released one by one by the mountain god to the open space where they were.

Wow, I’ve heard of pie falling from the sky, but have you ever seen a horse falling from the sky?

Soon, under the command of Yan Shouyi, these little guys moved the war horses away in an orderly manner, and everyone's face was unconsciously filled with happy smiles.

Yan Shouyi was overjoyed when he saw the many strong and sturdy horses that the mountain god had bestowed upon him. The smile on his face was even brighter than the midday sun.

After about ten minutes, Xu Boan threw all the horses that Zhang Kai had just sent into the bonsai world.

After Xu Bo'an made sure that everything was put in, he said to Yan Shouyi, "Okay, I have given you all the horses. Considering your hard work in the battle, you don't have to worry about the horses' food. Now this mountain god will give you some horse feed. As long as you feed them well, there shouldn't be any problems with these horses."

After saying that, he picked out some of the horse feed that Zhang Kai had brought, unpacked it, and put it directly into the bonsai world without shrinking it. The little people instantly saw something as tall as a small hill appear in the yard, and they looked over there curiously.

Seeing this, the little ones were immediately excited and rushed over, squeaking and yelling.

"Oh my God! This... this is a carrot!"

"Bran! And bran!"

"This seems to be soybean meal. When my father was alive, he used this to make soybean meal cakes for us. They were delicious."

"This dried radish tastes better when used to make dumplings after being soaked in water. You don't understand."

"This is just food for the horses. We have to thank the Mountain God. In the past, we couldn't even have such good food, let alone horses."

For a moment, the scene was very lively.

Yes, in the bonsai world, many people are hungry. Feeding the little ones is a problem, not to mention the rations for the war horses, which is even more difficult. Now the mountain god actually bestowed so much directly, which made Yan Shouyi and his gang very moved.

Listening to what the little guys said, Xu Bo'an was a little confused at first. What we gave was horse feed, but why did the little guys imply that it was home-cooked meals?

Xu Boan took a closer look and realized that he hadn't noticed before that these horse feeds were actually different from dog and cat feeds. They were not granules that were crushed into powder, but dry raw materials with distinct grains!
After a quick look, Xu Boan saw dehydrated carrots, soybean meal, wheat bran, corn, oats and other things. When Xu Boan put in the horse feed, in order to save trouble and ensure that the little ones had enough horse feed, he did not shrink these things.

So a grain in Xu Boan’s eyes is a huge piece of food in the eyes of the little guys.

This stuff is said to be horse feed, but if it is cooked separately, it is definitely better than the meals of many people in the Da Jing Dynasty today. You know, many people are still hungry because of the famine.

However, horse feed is still horse feed. It also contains a variety of other ingredients, all of which are formulated according to the special needs of horses.

Therefore, if he wasn't helpless, Xu Bo'an naturally didn't want these little guys to eat this stuff.

Xu Bo'an immediately spoke up again and warned, "Okay, Yan Shouyi, tell everyone that this is horse feed and cannot be used without permission! As for your food, if you are short of it, just tell me and I can give you some."

Yan Shouyi was already extremely excited. Not only did the Mountain God give them horses, but also due to the famine in recent years, vegetation was very scarce, and fodder suitable for horses was even rarer. Now even the horse feed that they were most worried about, had been prepared for them by the Mountain God. How could he not be excited?

And looking at the amount of horse feed, it is conservatively estimated that it is enough for the horses to eat for two years. Before the troops move, the food and grass must be sent first! At present, the mountain god has given him a big reassurance.

He immediately knelt on the ground with tears of gratitude and said to the Mountain God: "The Mountain God is so kind and gracious. I understand your instructions. Now my brothers and I have food to eat, so we dare not bother you anymore. The Mountain God is so kind and gracious that I cannot repay him. I can only swear to be loyal to you till death!"

After saying this, he kowtowed repeatedly to the Buddha statue of the mountain god. The soldiers behind him saw their leader Yan Shouyi doing this and were very grateful in their hearts so they quickly followed suit.

Xu Boan looked at this large group of people, all kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him. The scene was still very shocking, especially the little people's sincere submission to him from the bottom of their hearts, which made Xu Boan's emotional value reach the peak.

Seeing the little people kowtow on the ground one by one, Xu Bo'an felt sorry for them and said immediately: "Okay, let's put this matter to an end for now. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." (End of this chapter)
