The Moon is Full in the Traveling House - Chapter 174 Horse Racing Back to Beijing

The speed of the horse's hooves was very fast, and the sound of the horses' hooves resounded like thunder on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Su Lun held the reins tightly, leaned forward, blending into the snow, and feeling the pleasure of the horse's hooves.

However, the others were not ordinary people either, they were equally skilled in riding, and the horses they rode were the best of the best. These horses were carefully selected and trained, and had excellent speed and endurance.

As time went by, Su Lun gradually felt the pressure. The other three were not to be outdone, and they all sped up and started a fierce competition with Su Lun.

As the four horses chased each other, the distance between them became closer and closer, and no one had a clear advantage. Su Lun kept whipping the snow-capped horses, trying to widen the gap, but the other three did the same and refused to give up easily.

Gu Bei laughed and said, "Brother Su, it looks like it's hard to tell the winner today. Let's have another exciting competition when we have a chance in the future!" After saying that, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

Su Lun lowered his eyes, looked at the snow beneath him, smiled slightly and said: "Brother Gu is too modest. Although we arrived at the finish line almost at the same time, in fact, Brother Gu was still half a step ahead. Therefore, this race should be considered a victory for Brother Gu." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Gu Bei with a firm and sincere gaze.

Gu Bei was extremely surprised when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Su Lun a few more times and asked curiously: "Brother Su, how can you judge this tiny difference so accurately? I didn't notice it at all..."

Facing Gu Bei's doubts, Su Lun explained with a smile: "Haha, my eyesight has been better than that of ordinary people since I was a child, so even such a tiny difference can be easily distinguished." As he spoke, he gently patted the horse's back as if to comfort it.

After Gu Bei finished speaking, he turned to Princess Yuehua and Xiao Anning and said with a smile: "Princess Yuehua, Anning, let's wait for Ah Zhe and Xiao Suxi first. How about we send you two back home after they arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yuehua smiled faintly and said softly, "Thank you, General Gu, for your kindness. However, I am very familiar with the capital. We can go back by ourselves later..."

Xiao An Ning listened to Princess Yue Hua's words and sighed inwardly, wondering how could Yue Hua be so unromantic? Then he rolled his eyes and said hurriedly, "Yue Hua, I heard that things are not very peaceful recently, so let my third brother take you back." In fact, Xiao An Ning was not lying. The situation in the capital was indeed a little tense, but because of these things, the law and order was tightened, and nothing would happen in broad daylight.

However, Princess Yuehua did not understand Xiao Anning's true intention. She thought that her best friend wanted to spend more time with Su Lun, so she nodded sympathetically and said, "In that case, I'll trouble General Gu."

Although Princess Yuehua's intentions were different from Xiao Anning's ideas, the final result was satisfactory.

The four of them waited there for about half an hour. Just when they were starting to get impatient, a carriage finally appeared in the distance. It was Su Zhe who was driving the carriage late.

Xiao Tao rode up to the crowd and said to Princess Yuehua with a smile, "Miss, you guys are so fast. We can only see a few afterimages from behind..."

On the other side, Dan'er also rode his horse to Princess Yuehua's side and said apologetically, "Princess, I'm sorry. I have tried very hard, but I still can't catch up with your speed... I'm sorry to have kept you and everyone waiting for a long time..."

Xiao Anning smiled and nodded: "Yuehua, let's go out and play together again if we have the chance in the future!"

Then she turned around again, winked at Gu Bei mischievously, and half-jokingly reminded him: "Third brother, you must send Yuehua back to the Marquis' Mansion unharmed."

Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task successfully."

Although Princess Yuehua felt that Xiao Anning's words were a little strange, she did not think too much about it. She just smiled and said to Su Lun: "General Su, I'll trouble you to escort Anning back to the general's mansion later."

After saying goodbye, the group went back to the city. Su Lun wanted to send Xiao Ning back to the general's mansion, so he told Su Zhe to take Su Xi back to the Su Mansion first.

"General Su, I didn't expect your archery skills to improve so quickly, it's amazing! Does our previous agreement that you would teach me martial arts still count?" Xiao Anning asked with a smile on his face as they walked back to the city.

Su Lun laughed heartily: "Second Miss, you are too kind. Su Lun only knows the basics. But if Second Miss really wants to learn, Su Lun will naturally be very happy to learn."

Upon hearing this, Xiao An Ning clapped her hands happily, "That's great, it's a deal! When you are free, I will go to the Su Mansion to learn martial arts from you, is that okay?"

The two chatted happily, and the journey home seemed to become shorter. "Second Miss, we have arrived at the General's Mansion. We will say goodbye now and see each other again when there is a chance."

Xiao An Ning returned the greeting and said, "Thank you very much today, General Su. I will come to your house to thank you again some other day. Take care, General Su."

After the two said goodbye, Su Lun returned home on his snow-covered horse.
