Until he left the house, He Yunsheng kept thinking about what He Yan had just said.

"Do you want to go to school, Yunsheng?"

Of course he wanted to. In the school, there were teachers for literature and martial arts. He could study with other young people of the same age. When the time came, he could make a career for himself, whether it was the imperial examination or the martial arts competition. It was really bad to just practice randomly like he was doing now.

In the past, their family had no money, but now they have money. In the bottom of He Yunsheng's heart, the suppressed desire gradually emerged. He secretly glanced at the girl walking beside him, He Yan... Ever since He Yan recovered from her illness, it seemed that everything in the family was getting better. It was no longer as stagnant as a pool of water. At some point, the wind blew over the water, causing ripples. Then, the old air was swept away, and the flowers and willows were green and red.

It's spring.

He Yan noticed his gaze and suddenly pulled up the veil on her face, warning him again, "We agreed not to show anything when we see father later, got it?"

"......Okay." He Yunsheng answered with difficulty.

The parade ground was a large open space at the east end of the city gate, and He Yan had never been there once. After she returned to the capital, He Rufei replaced her, and she was unable to participate in any of the activities of the "Flying Red Army". She only happened to pass by there once when she was outing with Grandma Xu, and she was very yearning for it at that time.

The parade ground in the capital was still very large. Flags were flying on the flagpole, and sometimes generals would review the troops here, which made it very grand. However, in recent years of peace and prosperity, the parade ground has almost become a place for rich children to play riding and archery. There are targets and running tracks everywhere, and the weapons racks are full of weapons.

As soon as He Yan arrived here, he couldn't take his eyes away.

She once had a sword called Qinglang, which was indestructible and could cut iron like mud. It accompanied her in battles for many years, but when she married into the Xu family, she did not take it with her, even though she wanted to.

He Yuansheng said to her, "The Xu family is a family of scholars. If you bring a sword with you, I'm afraid your husband and mother-in-law will not like it."

Her biological father, He Yuanliang, also warned her with concern: "This is unlucky."

So she left Qinglang at home and asked her family to keep it safe. But when she got home from the wedding, Qinglang was hung around He Rufei's waist.

She questioned He Rufei, but before He Rufei could say anything, He Yuansheng said, "Rufei is now a general of Feihong. If the sword is not with you, people will be suspicious!"

"That's right, you won't be able to use it in the future anyway." He Yuanliang helped.

Her joy at returning home was like being poured with cold water, chilling her from head to toe. It was then that she suddenly realized what getting married meant, what it meant to hand over the title of General Feihong. It meant that from now on, she would be the grandmother of the Xu family, the second daughter of the He family, taking care of her husband and children at home, and working side by side with her husband. The swords, horses, comrades-in-arms, freedom, the merits and achievements won with blood and blood, would all be handed over to another person.

And no one knows.

First, her Qinglang, then her warhorse, then her subordinates, everything she had. The past few decades of hard work were all for others.

She has nothing.

He Yunsheng asked: "Hey, what's wrong with you? You look so bad."

He Yan was startled for a moment, then came to her senses and smiled, "Nothing." She looked around, "Why don't I see my father?"

"They seem to be over there," He Yunsheng pointed to the track on the other side, "probably training horses."

The military training ground often bought new horses, some of which were unruly and needed to be tamed for a while. The current city gate lieutenants were of very low rank, and when they were not patrolling the city, in a way, they almost became sparring partners for the nobles' children to practice archery at the military training ground.

"Let's go over there." He Yunsheng said.

He Yan nodded, then suddenly stopped and picked up an iron-headed stick from the top of the weapon rack and held it in his hand.

He Yunsheng: "What are you going to do with this?"

"Feel it." He Yan said, "Let's go."

He Yunsheng was speechless. The two walked towards the track next to the stable. Before they got close, they heard a noise. They looked up and saw two horses galloping past them. On one horse sat a young man in fine clothes, and on the other sat a man as strong and dark as a black bear. Who else could it be but He Sui?

Who is He Sui racing against?

"Young Master is so amazing!" The servant watching nearby said excitedly, "Three games in, and he wins every time!"

Hmm, has it been three games already? He Yan raised his eyes and looked over. It didn't matter if he looked at it this time, but he frowned at the first glance.

The horse under He Sui probably had not had time to be tamed. It looked wild and unruly, with rapid steps. He Sui was already struggling to ride the horse, and the young man in brocade clothes even used his own horse to hit He Sui's horse. He Yan even saw that his whip hit the horse's butt.

The wild horse jumped around and almost threw He Sui off. He Yunsheng shouted, "Dad!" His heart sank.

The young man in brocade clothes burst into laughter.

The battle was finally over. He Sui's horse stopped, but it was only with great difficulty. It struggled for a long time before calming down.

The young master in brocade robes had already been helped off the horse, and he said proudly, "Captain He still lacks some skills. He can't even tame a horse. But this round is better than the previous one. At least he didn't fall off and get kicked by the horse."

Fall down? Kick your feet?

He Yan looked up at He Sui, only to see that the big man had a bruised face and a horse hoof mark on his clothes, clearly he had fallen pretty hard. This guy... She couldn't help but get a little angry.

The young master in brocade clothes smiled and threw out a silver coin, "Not bad, not bad, I am very happy, this is a reward for you."

The silver fell to the ground. He Sui ignored everyone's gaze and bent down to pick it up. Then he smiled and thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

He Yunsheng had never seen his father behave so humbly before, and he was furious. He shouted angrily, "Why are you thanking me? Didn't you see that he was playing a trick on you?"

"Yunsheng?" He Sui saw He Yan and the others, and asked, "Yan Yan, why are you here?"

"Who is this boy?" asked Master Zhao.

"This is my son Yunsheng." He Suipeng said with a smile.

"Oh..." said Master Zhao, "Your son seems to be very dissatisfied with me."

"What's the matter? Children don't know much." He Sui held He Yunsheng's head and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Master Zhao."

"I don't--" He Yunsheng struggled. This Master Zhao was clearly humiliating He Sui and treating him like a servant for fun, but why? No matter how low He Sui's rank was, he was still an official, not a servant of the Zhao family. Why should he be insulted like this?

He Yunsheng held his head high and refused to admit it.

Master Zhao looked at it and seemed to become interested. "How about this, I was originally planning to let your father fight with me again, but now I have changed my mind. If you fight with me, I will reward you with another ingot of silver." He stretched out his hand and the servant handed him an ingot of silver.

"No!" He Sui was startled at first, then he bent over and smiled flatteringly, "Yunsheng has never touched a horse, so I'll accompany you to train the horse."

Although He Sui usually favors He Yan, it does not mean that he does not love this son. This Mr. Zhao is not a good person, but he has suffered a lot of humiliation from the rich kids, so he doesn't care about it for a while. At He Yunsheng's age now, he should go to school. And He Yan, he has to raise some dowry for her, after all, she can't be looked down upon by her husband's family after she gets married. But he has no other skills, except selling his strength, so he can only please these young masters and make money.

Unexpectedly, today, his two children saw his humble and cowardly appearance, and He Sui felt ashamed and sad.

Yunsheng was young and hot-blooded, and could not stand these insults, but he did not know that people were treacherous. With his physique, if he really raced with Master Zhao today, he would lose half his life. You have to know that this horse was a new ownerless wild horse that had never been tamed, let alone a racehorse, it was not easy to ride this horse.

He couldn't let anything happen to his son.

"I'll be there." He Sui said with a smile.

"That won't do." Master Zhao shook his head, "I want him."

He Sui's smile froze.

In the stalemate, someone suddenly spoke, and the clear voice interrupted the silence.

"How about I compete with you?"

Everyone looked to the side and saw that the person who had been silent suddenly spoke. Then everyone realized that there was a young girl standing there. She was wearing a short-sleeved outer coat with light red and white floral patterns and ruffles, a long robe underneath, and a purple skirt. She was graceful and elegant, with a white veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, which were smiling.

"Who are you?" asked Master Zhao.

"As for me," the girl nodded slightly, "I'm just a horse trainer."
