Watching Gu Siyu's retreating figure as she whipped her horse and sped away, Kuresh shook his head and smiled wryly, "That girl can't control herself when she sees a master."
However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He and He Yanzhi just felt that Gu Siyu, as a female cavalryman, got excited whenever she saw a female comrade with superb horsemanship and couldn't help but want to compete with her.
Kuresh and He Yanzhi planned to lead a group of people into the mountains on horseback to find a suitable place for nighttime training.
Now that things have changed, they have no choice but to put their plans to go into the mountains aside. They exchanged a smile, spurred their horses, and followed.
Five cavalrymen followed behind the two men.
...
Xiahenazi led Guan Wenru eastward.
They looked heroic and dashing on horseback.
The March wind was biting, but neither of them felt cold.
Guan Wenru absolutely adores this carefree and unrestrained state of mind; she's still young and can do whatever she wants with her body.
In her previous life, after He Yanzhi passed away, she never rode a horse again.
Every time she saw a horse, she would think of He Yanzhi, and she couldn't bear the intense longing she felt for him.
Now that I've been reborn, everyone is still alive. How wonderful!
She can still gallop on horseback, that's wonderful!
Xiahenazi was stunned by Guan Wenru's skillful riding.
The two walked side by side, and Xiahenazi called out, "Wenru, when did you learn to ride a horse? Your skills are better than mine."
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "It's been many years."
In her previous life, two years after Han Haoxian passed away, He Yanzhi taught her.
She didn't want Xiahenazi to keep bringing up the matter, lest she have to lie to cover it up, so she quickly pointed to the scenery in front of her, "Sister-in-law, this place is so beautiful!"
Xiahenazi's attention was indeed diverted, and she looked ahead as well, feeling very refreshed. "Right! This scenery is absolutely stunning. It snowed here a few days ago, and the resulting rime ice landscape is incredibly beautiful. I love it!"
The rime ice flowers bloom on every tree, their jade-like branches creating a picturesque scene. The banks of the Longchang River are like a fairyland.
Guan Wenru couldn't help but think that it would be great if there were a color camera at this moment.
She was able to capture all of this stunning scenery.
The two had been galloping for half an hour, and now they began to slow down to appreciate the scenery around them.
Xiahenazi turned to Guan Wenru and said, "Few military families know how to ride horses. No one has come with me before. If you like, we can come and ride whenever we have time, okay?"
Hearing her use the word 'run wild,' Guan Wenru smiled and said, 'Okay, I also really like this feeling of freedom.'
Xiahenazi quickly pointed around, "It's mid-March now, so we can see rime ice flowers. In spring, the mountains and fields will be covered with flowers and green leaves, creating a different scene. In autumn, the area will be a mix of green, red, and yellow colors."
Guan Wenru had seen such scenery before, but in Xiahenazi's eyes, this was her first time in Northwest China, so she had to act very excited.
As they chatted, Xiahenazi suddenly reached out and straightened Guan Wenru's crooked cotton hat, her fingertips brushing against her frostbitten earlobes. "You're more resistant to the cold than any of us girls from the Northwest."
Just as Guan Wenru was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
She and Xiahenazi both turned to look at the same time.
A female soldier dressed in cavalry uniform rode over on horseback.
Upon seeing the female soldier's face, Xiahenazi raised an eyebrow and explained to Guan Wenru, "This is Gu Siyu, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment. She is a very capable female cavalryman."
Guan Wenru knew Gu Siyu in her previous life. Her friendship with Gu Siyu wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.
Gu Siyu caught up with the two and spurred her horse to cut between them. Her chestnut warhorse, puffing out white mist, almost collided with Guan Wenru's mount.
Guan Wenru controlled the reins with one hand to steady her horse, but she also sensed a different kind of malice.
She's lived several decades longer than others, so her judgment of people is still accurate.
Gu Siyu is hostile towards her.
Why is that?
Gu Siyu didn't think there was anything wrong with rushing over to separate the two. She smiled sweetly at Xia Henazi and said, "Why didn't you call me when you were riding wildly, Sister-in-law Nazi?"
Xiahenazi didn't notice anything different and laughed, "Your cavalry regiment is busy, isn't it? I wouldn't dare call you, lest your regimental commander scolds me when he gets home."
Upon hearing this, both Gu Siyu and Guan Wenru laughed.
Just as Xiahenazi was about to introduce Guan Wenru to Gu Siyu, Gu Siyu suddenly said, "This must be Wenru, right? I really didn't expect that our division has such a skilled female comrade on horseback. Wenru, shall we have a race?"
"..."
Xiahenazi and Guan Wenru were both stunned.
No one wants to spar right from the start.
Guan Wenru seemed to have guessed something. Gu Siyu called Xiahenazi "sister-in-law" but called her "Wenru".
Could it be... that Gu Siyu likes He Yanzhi?
As the thoughts in her mind came together, Guan Wenru suddenly understood.
That's right... When He Yanzhi was teaching her to ride a horse, Gu Siyu was always by their side, helping to guide her.
At that time, Gu Siyu had already married someone, and her husband was a political commissar in this division.
Therefore, she never thought that Gu Siyu had any feelings for He Yanzhi.
At this time, Gu Siyu is still unmarried, and her heart is probably with He Yanzhi.
In this life, Guan Wenru has become He Yanzhi's wife, so Gu Siyu is going to make things difficult for her.
Thinking of this, the smile in Guan Wenru's eyes faded considerably.
Seeing that Guan Wenru hadn't responded, Gu Siyu blinked. "Does Wenru look down on my riding skills and not want to compete with me?"
Just as Guan Wenru was about to speak, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar.
The group looked over and saw He Yanzhi riding at the forefront, his military green overcoat fluttering in the wind.
As he drew nearer, he deftly reined in his horse, causing its forelegs to rise high and snowflakes to flutter down.
Seeing Guan Wenru's attire, He Yanzhi's eyes showed a hint of a smile.
The cotton hat on Guan Wenru's head should belong to Xiahenazi.
Xiahenazi's head was bigger than Guan Wenru's, and her cotton hat hung loosely on Guan Wenru's head.
Guan Wenru also looked like a little child, all wrapped up and very cute.
Kuresh had already ridden up to Xiahenazi and pinched her nose. "You're being naughty again. Your sister-in-law just arrived, and you're already taking her riding around like a wild animal. If she falls and gets seriously injured, He Yanzhi might fight me to the death."
Xiahenazi chuckled, "Wenru's horsemanship is superb; I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as her."
"Oh?" Kuresh was surprised and turned to look at Guan Wenru. "Your sister-in-law is amazing. It's not easy for my husband to praise you like that."
Guan Wenru smiled and said modestly, "It's an exaggeration, sister-in-law."
He Yanzhi noticed that Guan Wenru was wearing thin clothes. He frowned and, without saying a word, took off his military overcoat.
