The horse was agile, its four hooves were galloping in the wind, as fast as lightning, and it rushed straight to the finish line.

He Yan and Ma Damei are evenly matched. If things continue like this, it will be hard to say who will reach the finish line first.

Liang Ping and Du Mao had already given up. They knew that their horsemanship was not as good as the two people in front of them, and they could not keep up, so they just strolled slowly at the back. Anyway, they had fulfilled the requirements of Coach Shen.

Head coach Shen called them out last night and asked them to compete with He Yan in archery today. Liang Ping and Du Mao refused at first, saying they were not new recruits and there was no point in competing with He Yan. But the head coach insisted on doing so and also asked them to create as much trouble as possible for He Yan during the archery competition so as not to let He Yan win.

Liang Ping felt very upset. He had to compete with He Yan, but he couldn't let He Yan win. Wasn't this intentionally unfair? The coach and the new recruits were bullying in the first place, and the three of them teamed up to deal with He Yan. This was simply the ultimate bullying.

Who knows that man proposes, God disposes. Let's not talk about the three of them. Anyway, now he and Du Mao didn't bully He Yan, but were bullied by He Yan. This is thanks to the new recruits who didn't see it. If they saw it, where would they put their faces?

However, among the three of them, Ma Damei is the best equestrian. I wonder how He Yan compares to him?

In the distance, you can see the red silk cloth on the flagpole at the finish line.

He Yan pulled the reins, and the horse moved forward, overtaking Ma Damei by half a step.

She wanted to rush to the finish line, but at this moment, Ma Damei called out "little guy", and He Yan looked at him subconsciously. She saw that the old man was half upright, with both feet on the horse's back, steady, and she praised him in her heart. Then, the old man smiled at her, turned his body, and rushed towards He Yan.

He Yan was startled and rode his horse to avoid it, but the old man was like a winged bat-fly, half of his body was already hanging on He Yan's horse. He even pouted and criticized He Yan's action of riding his horse to avoid it, "Young man, how can you be so ruthless at such a young age? Do you want to throw me to death?"

He Yan wanted to push him down, but this man had already taken over the reins and firmly grasped them. He slapped He Yan with his palm, intending to knock him down.

This guy... is really confident in her. He's not afraid that she'll fall and get into trouble. He Yan complained in his heart and exchanged two more moves with him. Neither of them got the upper hand.

Ma Damei was also surprised. The dozens of coaches in Liangzhou Guards all had their own strengths. Some were good at bows and crossbows, some were good at infantry, and he was best at horseback archery. Yesterday, Shen Han asked him to compete with He Yan today. At first, he thought Shen Han was crazy, but now it seems that this young man named He Yan has greatly exceeded his expectations.

He was an expert rider, and his mind was clever and decisive. He knew that it would be difficult for the three of them to hit the straw target, so he simply knocked away all the arrows from the others. The two moves he was using at this moment were not chaotic at all, as if he had often fought with others in critical situations, and he was very calm.

He Yan was not as calm as she appeared. The coach of Liangzhou Guard was not someone who only knew how to eat and do nothing. This old man was really hard to deal with. Seeing that she was too close to the finish line, her goal was not to fight with him, but to rush to the finish line first. If she continued to waste time here, even if the horse ran to the finish line, she and the old man were both on the horse, so who would win?

What a treacherous person.

When she raised her head, her face was also full of smiles, without a trace of displeasure. "Although I am young, I also know to respect my elders. You are so old and still ride on the same horse with me. If you fall, I will be blamed for it. I'd better change horses." As she spoke, she leaned out, grabbed the iron rings on the saddle with both hands, leaned against the horse and let go.

This move was so beautiful that Ma Damei's eyes lit up. He Yan grabbed the iron ring with one hand and used the whip in the other hand to wrap around Ma Damei's empty horse. When the two horses got closer, He Yan let go of his hand, jumped halfway onto the other horse, grabbed the reins, and turned over to sit on it again.

"Good! Good! Good!" Ma Damei said "good" three times in a row, looking at He Yan with undisguised admiration. He just smiled and said, "But if you think you've won like this, you're still too naive."

Before he finished speaking, the horse under He Yan began to struggle violently, refusing to move forward and instead going crazy on the spot.

"This is my own horse, it recognizes its master. Young man, you are a good horseman, but you can't control a horse that recognizes its master."

He laughed loudly, as if He Yan's action was exactly what he wanted, and he was just waiting to see He Yan excited.

The young man smiled slightly, his voice not nervous at all, and answered calmly, "I'll still give it a try, what if I can get it right again?"

Having said that, she leaned over, put her lips close to the horse's ear, and muttered something. The horse under her actually calmed down gradually after such torment by her.

Ma Damei was stunned, and couldn't believe his eyes. He had seen thousands of horses, and he could have simple exchanges with them, but he had never seen a horse that recognized its master be obedient after just a few words. There was a myth in ancient times that there was a person who could understand the language of all beasts. Was He Yan... the same?

He has lived for so many years, but he has never believed in any legends about gods and ghosts.

The boy pulled the reins and the horse galloped away. Ma Damei hurried to follow, but in his distracted state, he had already missed the best opportunity. The boy's words were still ringing in his ears, with a bit of pride, "Coach, your chance to defeat me ends here!"

…

At the end of the horse trail, in a pavilion in the jungle, Shen Han and Xiao Jue were sitting.

Shen Han didn't touch the tea in the cup, but Xiao Jue drank half of it. He Yan had seen everything that had just happened between him and Ma Damei.

Shen Han closed his eyes and a chill rose in his heart.

Xiao Jue was right. It was impossible for such a genius to appear in the Liangzhou Guards. He was the first in every category and surpassed all his coaches. This was not a good thing. It was too strange. It seemed... as if it was specially prepared for the Liangzhou Guards.

The red silk fluttered in the wind, and the young man rode his horse like a gust of wind, passing the long line at the finish line. He pulled in his horse and called a halt, raising a cloud of dust, and following behind was Ma Damei, who looked serious and uneasy.

The two of them stopped, one in front and one behind.

He Yan got off the horse first, and after her, Ma Damei also got off the horse. She walked towards Ma Damei and stopped in front of her.

"I didn't mean to tease the coach just now. I was forced by the situation. The coach shouldn't hold it against me, right?" The young man looked worried.

Ma Damei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What are you talking about, young man? In a competition, we must use all our skills."

A big smile appeared on the young man's face. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll give in this time."

She also conceded, which means she won again.
