Taking medicine was helpful. Every cut and bruise was almost gone and she used it only once. She thought that that medicine was expensive, but she didn't know how much he paid for it.
Lou made her way to the stable and her mood improved more on the sight of Ash. She talked to everyone that worked as caretakers for the horses and they agreed to let him be lose and not closed all the time.
The first thing she did was give him a fresh carrot she found in the cafeteria. Of course, Lou didn't ask permission to take it, she just used the skills she gained when she still was a thief. Ash liked the carrot and it disappeared in a few seconds.
Lou prepared Ash and took him to practice. After five hours she managed to gallop and jump. She was so exited that the first thing she did after leaving Ash in the stable was dashing to Xin Huo.
She entered the room without even one knock on the door and shouted with a very red face from running "Brother! Brother! I can gallop and jump now!"
Xin Huo that had a meeting about going to the north with Wu Bai was shocked at the rapid presence of Lou. He was happy though that she managed to do it so fast. Now their plans didn't have to wait for too long.
"Good!" With a smile answered Xin Huo at her shout.
"SOOO, when are we going to depart?" Lou wanted to go now or at last the fastest they could and added, "I can ride well now"
"That is right. We only need to choose guards" he said and got up showing that she shall follow.
They entered a small room and there were about ten to fifteen soldiers. Both men and women. Tall and short. Thin and fat. Skinny and muscular.
"Everyone here is extremely trained in combat and are ones of the best." Xin Huo said like it was only oblivious and continued now facing Lou, "You can choose who will be going with us"
The people were stunned by hearing that a little boy will choose. They didn't know who he was, but they knew one thing 'Commander things highly of him'.
"Umm, Can I really choose?" with anxiety in voice asked doubtfully Lou. Was he only testing her or was he serious? She never knew with one it is.
"We will be going, and it need be someone both of us is comfortable with, right?"
"Well, yeah" she answered and looked at the people that were in a daze and scanned them. From top to toe and decided of five people. Two women and three men.
The women were both tall, not skinny or too muscular. One had long brown hair and green eyes and the other had short blond hair and brown eyes. Both were beautiful.
The three men were tall and two of them were twins. Both twins were identical but just one of them had mole under right eye and the other had nothing. The third mad was one forehead bigger that the twins. He wasn't only bigger but older too.
Lou described them and got to know what their names were. Brown haired woman was named Lilian and the blond-haired woman was Bell. One of the twins was Xinge and the one with mole was Xinjiu. The old man was Owen.
When she decided Xin Huo decided and said "We will depart the day after tomorrow! Go now and rest everyone!"
He looked at Lou with eyes meaning 'You too Lou'
Lou and everyone else without any decays went to their elected rooms. The last one to depart was Xin Huo and Wu Bai. They discussed what will be necessary on their journey.
