Xu Di had already noticed his younger cousins' little tricks. Boys all go through this age. When Xu Di was training in the military camp, he was just like them. When the instructors weren't looking, he would do little tricks. It wasn't to be lazy, but just to satisfy his little vanity of not getting caught by the instructors.

Xu Di quickly returned the greeting to his two masters. Seeing that it was almost time to end the day, he said after the masters took their leave, "Your morning lessons are over. I'll take you for a walk in the nearby mountains."

The Zhang family children who came to the capital with them were Zhang Yuqiao, the 12-year-old second son of the second master of the Zhang family; Zhang Yuhan, the 9-year-old youngest son of the third master of the Zhang family; Zhang Yukang, the 10-year-old eldest son of the fourth master of the Zhang family; and Zhang Yuyuan, the 7-year-old second son registered under the name of the fourth master of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yuqiao is the oldest, already twelve years old. He has been practicing martial arts with his master for seven years, and now ordinary people can't get close to him. Zhang Yuhan and Zhang Yukang are both lively and active children who usually secretly go against their two masters. Originally, they wanted to bring Zhang Yuyuan along, but unfortunately, although Zhang Yuyuan is the youngest, he is the most mature and doesn't want to waste time. He always makes the most of every minute to learn and practice martial arts.

Hearing Xu Di say he was going to take them out for a drive, the children, who had been confined to the estate for several days, all smiled. Zhang Yukang asked, "Cousin, can we ride horses?"

They had only gone to Ganzhou because they heard that there were horses everywhere in the Northwest. However, riding horses was not allowed in Ganzhou city. If they wanted to ride horses, they had to go to the outskirts or to the horse farms on the west bank of the river. These children stayed behind for Zhang Yuyuan's sake. After Xu Di took them out to play a few times, Xu Rao kept them in the mansion to study, write, and practice martial arts. They were not allowed to go out to play in peacetime.

Xu Di said somewhat awkwardly, "Horse riding? How can you ride horses on the mountain? How about I take you horse riding when we get back to Ganzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yukang pouted and said, "My third uncle just likes to lie to people. He even told us that in Ganzhou, you have to ride a horse to go out. If it weren't for riding a horse, why would I travel thousands of miles to Ganzhou?"
