The villagers were immediately ashamed of their recklessness; if it weren't for Su Yunzhi, they would have been the ones bitten.
Lin Yinan handed the prescription to Qianwu, "Qianwu, drive the mule cart back to Steward Su and the others, and pick up the medicine at the clinic while you're at it."
"Okay, I'll go right away," Qianwu replied crisply.
Although Qianwu really wanted to go to the horse farm in the back mountain, she knew the importance of the matter.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Lin Yinan smiled and comforted her, "When your brother comes back from his vacation, I'll give you a break and have him take you to the racetrack for training."
Qianwu nodded happily, and after all the villagers got on the car, she cracked her whip.
"Madam, I'm leaving."
Lin Yinan waved to her.
The mule cart started moving slowly, and Su Yunzhi, who was lying on it, trembled slightly.
Yun Mo led his horse over and noticed the subtle change in Su Yunzhi's face. His sharp eyes became unfathomable.
"Let's hurry, it's getting late."
Lin Yinan took the reins from his hand, mounted her horse, and rode away.
"Anan, let's have a race and see who gets to the racetrack first."
Looking at that dashing figure, it was hard to look away. Yun Mo's lips curled up slightly, and he leaped up and rode after her.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yinan became interested. With a flick of her whip, her horse galloped along the well-maintained mountain path, the breeze causing her black hair to flutter. Her riding posture was elegant and agile, heroic and dashing, with a sword on her back, resembling a chivalrous knight-errant.
The figures of the man and his horse quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain path.
Yun Mo's dark, bright eyes sparkled like dazzling stars. He raised his hand and cracked his whip, and the horse let out a long neigh, galloping off in the direction where Lin Yinan had disappeared.
The further they went, the denser the forest became, with towering trees all around, forcing Lin Yinan to slow down.
Yun Mo quickly caught up and walked alongside him.
"Just cross this grove and you'll arrive."
Are there any other routes to get here?
“What used to be there is now blocked by Yun Er and his men.”
Yun Mo knew what Lin Yinan was worried about. Since it was a secret military base, it was impossible to let anyone in at will.
There is only Dongwang Village at the foot of the mountain. Lin Yinan was thinking that if there were more refugees in the future, they could not be settled in this area.
Their secretive force cannot be easily revealed to others.
As the two walked and talked, they could hear cheers coming from the valley in the distance.
When they were several dozen feet away, two hidden guards jumped out from their hiding places.
"Your subordinate greets Master and Madam!"
Yun Mo nodded slightly to them, and the guard continued, "Master, Second Brother Yun is leading the training inside. Shall I inform him?"
"No need, you can go about your business."
The guards cupped their hands in greeting, then lightly touched the ground with their toes, using the branches for leverage to return to the tree and hide.
Upon entering the horse farm, one sees Yun Er leading a small group of men practicing archery on horseback.
Just as one team finished firing, the other soldiers cheered.
Seeing the two riding up, Yun Er quickly rode forward to greet them.
"Third Sister-in-law, Third Brother, what brings you here?"
Yun Mo glanced at him. "Come see how the training is going. What? You really don't want to see me?"
"Not at all, I would naturally welcome Third Brother's visit." Yun Er was a little embarrassed, afraid that he would go and tell Yun Ying on him.
Since marrying Yun Ying, Yun Mo has often shamelessly used his status as her older brother to pressure him, such as now, or in front of Yun Ying.
Lin Yinan was very satisfied to see that the soldiers were training well and their muscles were bulging.
Yun Er leaned closer to her, "Third Sister-in-law, would you like to test the results of their training?"
“Okay, let’s test our archery skills then.” Lin Yinan became interested; it had been a long time since she had trained with anyone.
Yun Er gathered the soldiers together and said succinctly, "Who among you would like to compete with the City Lord in archery and horsemanship?"
"Your subordinate is willing!"
The voices of all the soldiers echoed in the valley for a long time.
With so many people, it's impossible to examine each one individually.
Therefore, Yun Er asked the top three soldiers from each group to step forward, making a total of twelve people.
Participants must ride a horse around the arena and shoot down all the obstacles set up in the arena to win.
With everything prepared, the soldiers took the lead.
Crossbow shooting requires not only strong arms to draw the bow, but also precise archery skills and skillful horsemanship.
The process of riding a horse requires a high level of strength, speed, agility, and overall coordination from the rider.
After all, they were all born into ordinary farming families, unlike the nomadic peoples of the grasslands who were skilled in horsemanship and archery.
To survive on the battlefield, one must make arduous and extraordinary efforts.
One significant advantage of training cavalry is their powerful long-range firepower, which can reduce casualties among soldiers.
Soon, the twelve outstanding cavalrymen completed the challenge, and Yun Er ordered his men to record their results.
To ensure fairness, Lin Yinan was also dressed in armor, just like the soldiers.
The idea for this armor came from her; it's the latest chainmail developed by Yun Er, and it has a certain weight to it.
She refused the bow and arrows that Yun Er had found for her.
Lin Yinan walked up to the group of cavalrymen and asked, "Whose bow is the heaviest among you?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and finally, the last soldier, Shi Han, who was of strong build, stepped forward.
"Reporting to the city lord, my bow and arrows are the heaviest among all my brothers."
Lin Yinan looked him up and down, then smiled and said, "Could I borrow you for a moment?"
