Mud Horse Crossing the River" Section 1317

The majority of the people on the boat knew that King Kang had been the great Marshal of soldiers and horses before he became Emperor and was now sustaining the bloodline of the Great Song Dynasty; naturally, he wouldn't drown in the Yangtze River. However, upon hearing Old Man Ling fall silent, some were already urging, "What happened next?"

Old Man Ling cracked a slight smile, pleased with the reaction of his audience, "That warhorse miraculously could navigate through the water, carrying the then King Kang across the Yangtze River."

Someone said, "It seems that the current Emperor truly has a divine mandate. To think he even had divine beings reveal dreams, and that a horse might help the Emperor escape across the river..." They shook their heads repeatedly afterward, appearing quite incredulous yet knowledgeable.
