Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 518: Illusion

The next day after becoming the real young patriarch, Tie Hongyan wanted to go to the East Qi Shooting Range out of concern for Bai Ma Yueyun. As soon as he walked out of his room, he met Wu Xunsheng.

"Young Patriarch, are you going out?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

"Well, let's go to the East Riding Shooting Range."

"Would you like me to go with you?"

Tie Hongyan was only there to care about Yueyun, not to practice horseback archery, so she didn't need a sparring partner, but Wu Xunsheng asked, so she said, "Let's go together!"

The two of them left Ao Qian Palace.

"The competition just ended yesterday. Are you going to continue practicing riding and archery today? Why don't you take a few more days off?" Wu Xunsheng walked side by side with Tie Hongyan, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked.

"I'm not practicing today. I just want to go see Yueyun." Tie Hongyan said truthfully.

Wu Xunsheng then realized that Tie Hongyan didn't practice horse riding and archery, so she naturally didn't need a sparring partner, but she still let him go with her. Thinking of this, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, but it was soon replaced by a self-reflective and secret self-warning. He forced himself not to think about anything else and said seriously: "Yueyun was very strange yesterday."

"Yes, it actually became listless during my competition, but it recovered a little while after the competition. Master Qian said she would ask someone to check it out, and I will ask about the results later."

"Do you suspect it was man-made?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

"That's what I mean. Master Qian feels the same way. What do you think?"

"I also suspect that someone has done something." "Maybe when I meet Master Qian later, I'll know what's going on."

"Ah."

After that, the two of them didn't speak again on the road.

When they arrived at the East Cavalry Shooting Field, they learned some information from Qian Rui.

"I asked someone to check Yueyun. Someone must have drugged Yueyun, and the drug was scheduled to take effect during your competition. However, when you finished the competition, the drug's effect had not completely disappeared." Qian Rui said.

Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng exchanged a glance and said to Qian Rui, "Just now on the road, Wu Xunsheng and I were still discussing whether someone had done something. Now it seems that this is very likely the case."

Wu Xunsheng nodded to Qian Rui and said, "It seems that the man behind the tree that day might really be investigating the situation of the young patriarch."

“Fortunately, the young patriarch was quick-witted and reminded me in time that day. We responded immediately and made full preparations before the competition,” Qian Rui said.

"Master Qian, you had the same idea at that time, and Wu Xunsheng also felt that it was necessary for us to do so." Tie Hongyan said.

It turned out that on that day at the East Horse Archery Field, when Tie Hongyan was resting after trying out the White Horse Leaping Cloud for the first time, Wu Xunsheng told Tie Hongyan and Qian Rui that there seemed to be someone behind the tree, so Tie Hongyan thought that the person might want to investigate the situation and do something based on the situation. Although she felt that he might not do anything, in order to protect the horse she was really going to use in the competition, she whispered to Qian Rui to create a false impression to prevent the person behind the tree from knowing which horse she was using on the field. So, after Tie Hongyan rode the White Horse Leaping Cloud to practice horse archery again, Qian Rui applauded and said loudly, "Great! You can use this horse on the day of the competition, it's the most suitable for you! You don't need to try other horses!" Tie Hongyan said, "Okay!" At that time, the two deliberately said this to the person behind the tree, making him think that Tie Hongyan would use the White Horse Leaping Cloud in the competition.
