Chapter 269: Chapter 159: The Horse-Riding Girl_3

The girl inwardly swore, she must train her sword skills diligently.

Once she perfected her swordsmanship, she would become braver and could then search for Que’er alone.

——

After the separation, Jiang Shouzhong and his two companions left Muling County and prepared to head to Fengcheng Longsu.

Fengcheng Longsu was located at the border of Dazhou, a considerable distance away, normally requiring a journey of about five days.

Jiang Shouzhong initially thought of having Mengniang, the expert among them, fly them over by wind to shorten the trip. However, after the incident in Muling County, he felt it wiser to keep a low profile.

Therefore, upon leaving Muling County, Jiang Shouzhong specifically purchased two fast horses, planning to travel by the post roads.

According to his original plan, Mengniang was not to be bothered.

He and Er Liang would ride one horse, while Yelü Miaomiao would ride the other—after all, as the daughter of Yanrong and having grown up on the plains, her riding skills were surely polished.

And indeed, this proved to be the case.

When Yelü Miaomiao mounted her horse, she finally unleashed the bold grace of a plains girl, as if she and her jet-black mount that kicked up the wind were fused into one.

Without needing much direction, just a light kick to the horse’s belly had the steed neighing sharply, its hooves seeming to fly, kicking up dust along the way, speeding down the road as swift as a meteor chasing the moon.

The girl’s long hair fluttered with the racing wind and her skirt hem soared, dramatically carefree.

Yet Jiang Shouzhong had overestimated himself.

In the Capital, where he had never ridden a horse, he was quite clumsy, and though he eventually grasped some techniques, he could only manage a slow trot.

This made Yelü Miaomiao quite impatient.

Unable to resist, she gave Jiang Shouzhong’s horse a whip, nearly flinging both riders off.

The man burst out cursing in anger.

In the end, Mengniang took initiative, suggesting she could carry the lighter Er Liang with a hidden wind-flying method for a portion of the trip, allowing Jiang Shouzhong and Yelü Miaomiao to ride together.

Upon hearing that she had to share a horse with a man, Yelü Miaomiao couldn’t help but feel resistant.

However, the girl’s eyes suddenly sparkled with mischief, and she became unusually enthusiastic, taking the initiative to invite Jiang Shouzhong to sit behind her on the horse.

Thus, under the girl’s teasing gaze, Jiang Shouzhong had just mounted the horse and was yet to stabilize himself when the girl shouted a crisp "Drive," and the steed sped off like an arrow released from a bow.

Jiang Shouzhong was nearly flipped face-first from the jolting, and in a panic, he hurriedly wrapped his arms around the girl’s slender yet resilient waist.

"Can’t you slow down a bit?"

Jiang Shouzhong was terrified, with the wind howling by his ears.

The fragrance of the girl’s body seeped into the man’s nostrils, every breath filled with a mellow charm.

Originally, at Jiang Shouzhong’s grasp around her waist, Yelü Miaomiao instinctively thought of slowing down the horse. However, hearing the man’s rare panic, the girl’s desire to tease sharply surged, and to vent her pent-up frustrations from the past days, she whipped the horse even harder.

"Scared now, aren’t you?"

Yelü Miaomiao smirked in triumph.

"Scared your sister."

Jiang Shouzhong could only cling tightly to the girl, her hair strands occasionally brushing against his cheeks, bringing a slight sting.

To scare the man behind her, Yelü Miaomiao deliberately picked narrow, risky paths.

Sometimes racing along mountain trails, sometimes crossing streams and leaping over stones.

At every sharp turn or steep slope, she managed to stay close to the horse’s back, her knees slightly squeezed together, body leaning forward, the surrounding scenery blurring as she sped by.

"Whew... this is awesome."

On the way to Pingshun Road, the girl boldly released the tightly-held reins, stretched out her arms, and let her waterfall-like long hair freely fly with the galloping horse, akin to flowing clouds sweeping across the sky.

In that moment, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery in the world.

A horse, a man, a woman... at some point, they would always be imprinted in the canvas of memories.

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but marvel at the girl’s riding skills.

This girl could really ride.

Ride?

Though he tried hard to dismiss the thought, the image of the girl racing, her hair flying, still involuntarily surfaced in the man’s mind...

Cough cough, stop thinking.

...

[Author’s note: Yes, Yelv Miaomiao’s distinctive feature is her riding skills, those who know, know.]
