Chapter 369

Their mouths had already hung open in an "O" shape.

Even Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao felt it was strange.

What was this Chanyu Qiangqu doing?

Why did he start by gifting a horse to Lu Bu?

And why was it such a fine horse at that?

Just as the two were left scratching their heads, Lu Bu had already eagerly vaulted off his own warhorse and headed straight for Jade Dragon.

The look in his eyes seemed to have blocked out everyone else around him.

He had eyes only for the Jade Dragon before him.

To the side, Princess Suhe, who was riding a date-red horse behind Qiangqu, knitted her delicate brows, a look of disappointment appearing on her face.

Lu Bu hurried two steps to the side of the warhorse Jade Dragon, then stroked its mane with deep affection, as if he were caressing the long, silky hair of a courtesan.

Afterward, he raised his head and looked at Qiangqu with an expression full of disbelief.

"This... this... is this horse a gift for me?" Lu Bu asked, unable to believe it.

Qiangqu nodded with a smile: "Naturally, it is a welcoming gift prepared for the General."

"Would the General care to mount it and have a try?" Qiangqu said.

"Good, good, good!" Lu Bu nodded repeatedly, his eyes somewhat lost in the moment: "Good, good, I'll try it, I'll try it!"

Chanyu Qiangqu nodded toward the guards behind him, and they brought over a saddle.

As the saddle landed on Jade Dragon's back,

Lu Bu, who could no longer wait, vaulted onto the horse and gave the reins a shake.

The next second, the snow-white Jade Dragon shot out like a bolt of white light.

Fast!

Extremely fast!

Even Chen Qing'an, who was accustomed to the Ink Jade Qilin Beast under Duan Yu, felt it was very fast.

This showed that even the Ink Jade Qilin Beast could not compare to this warhorse.

It was just that Chen Qing'an was puzzled.

Had the Xiongnu's supply of fine horses reached such a level?

They would just gift such a fine horse to anyone they met.

Then what would this Xiongnu Chanyu offer when he met their General later?

No sooner said than done.

Lu Bu, riding the white Jade Dragon, had already galloped several miles away.

And Lu Bu, on the horse's back, did not forget to show off his skills.

At times he leaped off the warhorse, at times he tumbled on its back.

He seemed to be very happy.

This drew a round of applause from Qiangqu, who smiled at Zhang Liao and Chen Qing'an and said: "I did not expect your General's horsemanship to be so outstanding."

Hm?

Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao were both stunned.

Their General?

Since when did this Lu Bu become their General?

Could it be...

Chen Qing'an: "......"

Zhang Liao: "......"

The two looked at each other and instantly saw the amusement in each other's eyes.

They also understood at the same time why this Qiangqu was so generous.

Starting off by gifting Lu Bu such a dragon-steed.

As it turns out...

As it turns out, this Qiangqu had mistaken the person!

"Haha!"

Chen Qing'an let out a loud laugh.

This laugh left Qiangqu a bit bewildered.

"What is wrong with this General?" Chanyu Qiangqu asked, puzzled: "Why do you laugh?"

Chen Qing'an glanced at Zhang Liao, who was also struggling to hold back his laughter, then turned to look at Qiangqu and said with a smile: "Chanyu Qiangqu, the General you speak of, could it be him?"

Chen Qing'an pointed at Lu Bu, who was still frolicking about.

And at this moment, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu, who were standing on the sidelines admiring Lu Bu's horsemanship, also realized what had happened.

Their expressions suddenly became extremely awkward.

"Chanyu Qiangqu, first of all, this person is not our General; he is merely a Thief-Catching Official from Jiuyuan County named Lu Bu, and this trip is to guide our General to Shoujiangcheng."

"Secondly, our General..."

Before Chen Qing'an could finish his sentence,

A sound like rolling thunder erupted from behind them—the sound of hooves.

Chanyu Qiangqu, Princess Suhe, Chen Qing'an, and the others immediately turned to look toward the direction of the earthen mound behind them.

They saw a pure black warhorse leap out from behind the mound.

On its back, a mighty general clad in black armor, with a black cloak billowing behind him, held a great halberd and led the way.

Behind him, thousands of horses and riders rolled in, kicking up a sky-filling yellow dust, with an imposing momentum!

The moment Duan Yu's figure appeared, Princess Suhe's beautiful eyes were completely captivated.
