Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 487: Horse Trial

"That person was very excited at that time." Wu Xunsheng said.

"He's simply crazy. He said I was 'cruel and inhumane'. Haha, he was wrong. I was so good to him. He wanted to die, so I did what he wanted and fulfilled his wish." Tie Hongyan sneered.

"Do you remember the time when we were followed on the way back to Aoqian Palace from Master Di?" Wu Xunsheng suddenly remembered what happened in the past.

"Remember. Guan Wenliang followed us." Tie Hongyan said, "Do you think the person who followed us this time might have done this for the same reason as the person who followed us last time?"

"I don't know about that. It just occurred to me."

"Last time, Guan Wenliang said that the other person following us was Wang Qi..." Tie Hongyan said as he thought.

"Do you think what he said was true?"

"I don't know either. Guan Wenliang is no longer alive, and it's not convenient for me to ask Wang Qi directly." Tie Hongyan said. She remembered that after the last incident, Tie Jinjue said to her, "If there is really someone behind them, then the person who is behind it may not use these two people next time." She felt that even if she knew whether it was Wang Qi who followed them that time, she could not prove whether it was him who followed them later.

That time, after Tie Jinjue learned that Guan Wenliang said that Wang Qi followed the two of them, he wanted to know the truth, but he had too many things to do, so he just sent his men to observe Wang Qi casually. He didn't get a clear answer, and he didn't continue to look for the answer. Because he thought that even if he found out whether it was Wang Qi, it didn't seem to be of much significance.

After Tie Hongyan said that, Wu Xunsheng didn't say anything else.

A few days later, the day of the competition was approaching. Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng were practicing horseback archery under the guidance of Qian Rui at the Dong Horseback Archery Field.

Tie Hongyan usually has three horses for practicing riding and archery, a black horse named "Wu Xi", a white horse named "Yue Yun", and a red horse named "Chi Heng". She is very familiar with these three horses and can ride them with ease.

After Wu Xunsheng practiced with her for a while, Qian Rui said that he wanted to help Tie Hongyan decide which horse would be the best for her to ride in the official competition, so Wu Xunsheng stood aside. Just as Tie Hongyan was riding a white horse and shooting arrows, Wu Xunsheng suddenly noticed that someone seemed to move behind a tree not far away, so he looked out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't see the figure immediately. He didn't think he was seeing things, and continued to stare at that position out of the corner of his eye.

At that time, Qian Rui's attention was focused on Tie Hongyan and he didn't notice what Wu Xunsheng saw.

Wu Xunsheng felt that he should tell them about this, but it was inconvenient to interrupt them immediately, so he waited for a while.

Tie Hongyan had just finished trying the White Horse Leaping Cloud and was taking a break when Wu Xunsheng came over and said, "Young Clan Leader, Master Qian, there seems to be someone behind the big tree over there."

Tie Hongyan asked: "Could it be the person who followed us that day?"

"Someone is following you?" Qian Rui asked.

"Yeah." Tie Hongyan nodded.

After the few of them talked for a few words, Qian Rui asked Tie Hongyan to ride the white horse and practice Yueyun again.

Tie Hongyan performed very well. Qian Rui clapped his hands excitedly and said loudly, "Excellent! You can use this horse on the day of the competition. It is the most suitable for you! You don't need to try other horses!"

"Okay!" Tie Hongyan nodded with a smile.

Wu Xunsheng kept looking behind the big tree with his peripheral vision. Soon, he saw the figure appear again, but it disappeared in a flash.
