Chapter 1216: Luck
Scarlet was an Akhal-Teke foal that Tiger Head had spent a lot of money purchasing, and Tiger Head was famous in the Imperial Court because of this.
In the past, outsiders would always collectively mention Tiger Head and Little Lion as ’the twins from King Rong’s estate’ or ’the two naughty boys in King Rong’s estate’. However, ever since Tiger Head bought Scarlet, whenever he caused trouble outside, the ministers in the Imperial Court would refer to him as "that lucky third son from King Rong’s estate."
Look, now, everyone could separate Tiger Head and Little Lion.
Having the foresight to choose Scarlet among thousands of fine horses had always been one of Tiger Head’s favorite things to show off.
At that time, it was the coldest time in Jiangnan and the snow on the ground was as thick as a finger. Tiger Head and Little Lion had asked Little An out for a horse race. Because he was afraid of the cold, Little An dawdled for a long time before going out. In the end, they bumped into the West Xia people who were about to herd their horses to the horse market not far from the city gate.
Logically speaking, the other party should be the one giving way to them on the way out of the city. However, the trio had never been concerned with such things. Seeing that the other party’s horses were already halfway through the city gate, they stopped their horses and waited at the side.
The West Xia people who were herding their horses into the city hurriedly bowed to them. Seated on his horse, Tiger Head cast a casual glance at the herd of horses. Then, among the hundreds of horses, he spotted Scarlet, who had its head held high and its chest puffed out, but was tightly bound by the lead rope.
Of course, at that time, Scarlet was not red, but black!
