Qiao Xuan's business flourished, and Liuhe Manor had not only found its footing but had also expanded its operations.
Meanwhile, nestled within the remote mountains of Mili Town, a hidden valley reminiscent of paradise underwent development.
At the heart of this valley stood a rustic hot spring villa constructed entirely from logs.
Expansive pastures dotted the landscape, where horses, cows, and sheep grazed. Each year, a portion of the livestock was sold, contributing to the manor's revenue.
The horses, predominantly wild, underwent taming efforts led by Ah-Ye, Sun Bai, and Zheng Sangge, requiring considerable dedication and skill.
These horses were truly exceptional, one-of-a-kind specimens, scarce and highly prized. While there were occasional sales, they were few and far between, spanning not just years but potentially decades.
