Chapter 54 Bole Xiangma

Legend has it that the god who manages horses in the sky is called Bole.In the world, people who are good at distinguishing the quality of horses are also called Bole. The first person called Bole was named Sun Yang, and he was from the Spring and Autumn Period.Because of his excellent research on horses, people forgot his original name and simply called him Bole, which has been up to now. Once, Bole was entrusted by the king of Chu to buy a horse that could travel thousands of miles a day.Bole explained to King Chu that there are few thousand-mile horses, and it is not easy to find them. He needs to visit various places. Please don't worry, King Chu, and he will try his best to handle the matter well.

Bole traveled to several countries and carefully searched the Yanzhao area, which is rich in famous horses. He worked hard, but he still didn't find a good horse he liked.One day, Bole returned from Qi State. On the road, he saw a horse-drawn salt truck struggling on a steep slope.The horse was exhausted and panting, and every step was very difficult.Bole has always been close to horses, so he couldn't help but walk up to him.Seeing Bo Le approaching, Ma suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and neighed loudly, as if he wanted to tell Bo Le something.Bole immediately judged from the voice that this was a rare steed.

Bole said to the driver: "This horse gallops on the battlefield, and no horse can compare to it; but it is not as good as an ordinary horse for pulling a cart. You should sell it to me." The driver thought Bo Le is a big fool as he believed this horse is too ordinary, has no strength to pull the cart, has eaten too much, and is skinny, so he agreed without hesitation.Bole took the Chollima away and headed straight for the state of Chu.Bo Le led his horse to Chu Palace, patted the horse's neck and said, "I have found a good master for you." Qian Lima seemed to understand what Bo Le meant, raised his front hooves and rattled the ground, hissing his neck loudly, Like a big bell and rock, it goes straight to the sky.King Chu heard the neighing of the horse and walked out of the palace.Bo Le pointed to the horse and said, "My lord, I brought you the Chollima. Please watch it carefully."

When the king of Chu saw that the horse led by Bole was so skinny, he thought that Bole was fooling him, so he was a little unhappy, and said: "I believe you can look at horses, so I let you buy a horse, but what kind of horse did you buy? Walking is very difficult, can you go to the battlefield?" Bole said: "This is indeed a great horse, but it has been pulled for a long time, and it has not been carefully fed, so it looks very thin. As long as it is carefully fed, it will definitely regain its strength within half a month." When the king of Chu heard this, he was a little skeptical, so he ordered the groom to feed the horse with all his heart. Sure enough, the horse became strong and handsome.The king of Chu straddled his horse and whipped his whip, but he felt the wind blowing in his ears, and he had already run a hundred miles away in the time it took to catch his breath.

Later, Maxima made a lot of contributions to the king of Chu galloping on the battlefield.The king of Chu respected Bole even more.
