The wind blew up the white veil on her face, and He Yan lowered her head. She heard He Yunsheng gasp beside her, and he seemed to mutter in a low voice, "Commander Xiao!"
Perhaps it is because he has seen the hero in his heart that he can express such yearning and admiration.
"General Xiao... why are you here?" Master Zhao was arrogant in front of He Sui and the others, but in front of Xiao Jue he was like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, which made people feel cold.
"How much silver did you spend on this horse?" the young man asked calmly while sitting on the horse.
"Eh?" Mr. Zhao was a little confused, but he still answered honestly: "Thirty taels of silver."
Xiao Jue curled his lips, and the next moment, two silver pieces flew out of the dark green scent bag in his hand and fell into the grass. Everyone could see clearly that it was a silver piece that had knocked off Master Zhao's wrist.
"I bought your horse," he said.
Master Zhao's lips trembled and he was speechless.
He wanted to save face and kill the bad beast, but Xiao Huaijin spoke up. That was the second son of the Xiao family! He couldn't afford to offend him. Master Zhao had to swallow his anger and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Commander Xiao? If you want this horse, I'll give it to you."
"No need," he said, "no merit, no reward."
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Jue was a general like her, so naturally he couldn't stand seeing someone killing a horse in the street. The horse was able to escape the disaster when it met Xiao Jue.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw He Yunsheng step forward, looking at Xiao Jue with admiration, and said, "Thank you, General Feng Yun, saving Ma's life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! Incredible!"
He Yan was speechless.
Even if He Yunsheng wanted to chat up his beloved hero, he shouldn't have said that. He should have said that he should study more, otherwise he would end up like this. He didn't know how Xiao Jue was laughing at him at this moment.
However, Xiao Jue did not make any sarcastic remarks today. He just turned to look at He Yunsheng, his clear eyes shining like stars, and said calmly: "Do you like this horse?"
He Yunsheng took a look and answered honestly: "I like it."
"This is for you." he said.
"Thank you...eh?" He Yunsheng was shocked and was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Jue and the young man in yellow urging their horses forward. He didn't want to stay here, so he had to chase them for a few steps before stopping and looking at their receding backs with disappointment.
He Yan walked up to him and waved his hand in front of him, "Are you back to your senses?"
He Yunsheng retracted his gaze, turned around and said, "Where's the man named Zhao?"
"I left early." He Sui rolled his eyes, seeming to look down upon He Yunsheng's foolishness, "While you were looking at Mr. Xiao Er."
Even though Mr. Zhao was unwilling, he didn't dare to cause trouble for Xiao Jue. He could only take the money and leave angrily.
He Yunsheng walked up to the horse that was abandoned by its owner and touched its head, as if he was touching a token left by his lover, and said, "This is what General Feng Yun gave me..."
"Why don't you take it back and worship it? Set up an altar?" He Yan asked.
He Yunsheng glared at her, "What do you know? If Commander Xiao hadn't passed by just now, the horse would have been killed by that Zhao! Commander Xiao is really a young hero, he draws his sword to help when he sees injustice..."
"Stop, stop, stop," He Yan interrupted him, "Talk about something else." She thought to herself that He Yunsheng was really a child who didn't know how dangerous the world was. Xiao Huaijin was not a knight who would stand up for justice when he saw injustice. This man was very ruthless.
"Yan Yan, why are you wearing a veil?" He Sui, who had been silent all this time, finally found the opportunity to speak. "Also, how do you know how to ride a horse? I really scared my father just now. Don't be so reckless in the future. If something happens to you, how can I explain to your mother in the future?"
He Sui said much more to He Yan than to He Yunsheng.
"This is my latest makeup look. It's become fashionable in Beijing to wear veils when going out. It makes you look mysterious and beautiful." He Yan said nonsense in a serious manner, "Does father think this doesn't look good?"
He Sui: "Great! It looks great!"
He Yunsheng rolled his eyes. He Sui actually believed such a poor excuse.
He Sui naturally believed it. He didn't understand these girls' stuff. He only knew that He Yan always loved dressing up, so it was natural for her to follow fashion. Moreover, he would never have thought that his arrogant and weak daughter would go to a casino to fight with others. It must be that others saw it wrong!
"As for horse riding, I learned it with my friends, and I only know a few tricks. I can practice it later." He Yan said vaguely.
…
On the other side, Xiao Jue and the young man in yellow were riding their horses out of the training ground.
"That was really interesting just now." The young man in yellow said with a smile, "Uncle, did you see that? The girl on the horse secretly did something, and that's why Mr. Zhao fell. It was fun, fun!"
Xiao Jue looked indifferent.
He did see it, who told them to just run to the outer perimeter and pass by. The woman was very agile, and even when Zhao wanted to kill the horse, she believed that even if he didn't say anything, the other party would have taken action, and her hand had already touched the iron club at her waist.
"It's a pity that she kept her head down, so I couldn't see what she looked like." The young man in yellow touched his chin, "Why don't we go back and ask her her name, maybe we can see what she looks like?"
"Go by yourself." Xiao Jue remained unmoved.
"That won't do. She glanced at you before lowering her head. She must have been shocked by your uncle's appearance and felt shy. I think there are a lot more interesting girls in the capital recently. A few days ago, I saw a girl who could fight ten people at once under Zui Yu Tower, and today I saw a girl riding a horse in the parade ground. There are so many good girls in the world, why isn't one of them mine?" When the young man in yellow said this, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing.
Xiao Jue looked at him calmly, "Cheng Lisu, if you don't shut up, I will send you back to the Cheng family."
"No!" The young man named Cheng Lisu sat up straight immediately, "You are my biological uncle, you can't just stand by and watch me die. I am relying on you now!"
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a few people standing near the weapons rack in front of them. The leader was a young man in blue clothes, thin and like a banished immortal. He smiled and looked at them. He didn't know how long he had been standing here, but from this point of view, he must have seen everything that happened in the training ground just now.
"Isn't this the fourth son of Shi Jinbo's mansion?" Cheng Lisu whispered, "Why is he here?"
Xiao Jue did not answer. The horse stopped and Cheng Lisu smiled warmly. "Isn't this Brother Zilan? Why are you here at the parade ground?"
This is Chu Zhao, the fourth son of the current Shi Jinbo.
"I was just strolling around and happened to come here. I didn't expect to meet Commander Xiao and Master Cheng here." Chu Zhao smiled slightly, "Are you also out for an outing?"
"Of course, the spring weather is so beautiful these days. Wouldn't it be a waste of the beautiful scenery if we don't go out to have fun?" Cheng Lisu laughed loudly, and then muttered, "But it would be even better if we went out with a beautiful girl."
Chu Zhao pretended not to hear and kept smiling.
From beginning to end, Xiao Jue didn't say a word to Chu Zhao. He just nodded slightly to him when he rode past him.
After they passed by, the servant said indignantly: "This General Feng Yun is so rude!"
Chu Zhao didn't care. He just smiled and shook his head: "Who called him Xiao Huaijin?" After saying that, he looked at the empty runway again, as if he thought of something very interesting, and chuckled.
