Xiao Zhan gave Qingfeng a few instructions, and then Qingfeng mounted his horse and left.

Lian Sang and Chen Hui drove the carriage, while Xiao Zhan mounted his horse and followed beside it.

The carriage was slow, not as fast as the horses, so Xiao Zhan wasn't in a hurry and just followed along.

After traveling for a while, Jiang Wei became restless. The carriage was warm and cozy, while the wind outside was biting cold. Xiao Zhan, however, walked slowly with them from outside.

"General Xiao, it's too cold. Why don't you sit in the carriage and warm up?" Jiang Wei said, opening the curtains and tightening them with her slender, white hands.

Xiao Zhan looked at her silently for a while, "It was colder in Mo City than here, and it's even colder at the border."

Jiang Wei met his gaze, but neither asked nor answered, and then lowered the curtains.

Passing through a village, Qingfeng returned on horseback.

"Master, Xin Si has already led her men back," Qingfeng said.

"Master, where shall we stay tonight?" Qingfeng asked. At this rate, we should be able to enter the city today.

"We'll find a place to stay after another two hours or so," Xiao Zhan said leisurely as he rode his horse.

Xiao Zhan rode his horse alongside the carriage, while Yun Zhao leaned out of the carriage to observe the horse.

The horse's deep blue eyes were very clear, reflecting its image.

He made all sorts of faces at his own reflection, having a great time. This was how he used to play with the cows when no one else played with him.

Seeing his interest, Qingfeng asked, "Would you like to ride a horse?"

Yun Zhao's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at his elder sister. Seeing Jiang Wei nod, he immediately replied with a smile, "Yes."

"Come on, I'll teach you." Qingfeng laughed heartily and reached out his hand to Yun Zhao.
