He Quanxin candidly smiled and said, “Merely luck, brother Yuan.”
This time, the father and son were truly overjoyed. At the same time, their revere for the He family’s strength climbed to new heights.
A clan with a tenth layer expert was already an almost unprovoked existence. As such, with two tenth layer experts, He family’s name would certainly spread far and wide. Even those clans possessing millenniums of legacies wouldn’t dare easily provoke them.
In terms of scale, Tai Cang county’s He family lacked behind Yuan family. However, in terms of battle strength, there was no comparison between the two sides.
He then glanced at He Yitian and He Yiming behind He Quanxin’s body, ‘These two from the young generation are probably going to gain some experience.’
As vast as his experience was, he couldn’t imagine that He Yiming was even more powerful than He Quanxin.
After two hours, eight horses suddenly rushed out of He manor.
Among these eight horses, apart from He Yiming’s Red Silk, the rest were also the manor’s best horses. Although comparing them with Red Silk would be simply unjust, during long journeys, they were far better than relying on manpower.
After two hours, Yuan Earnest had eaten, washed off, and taken a short nap. Although he was an eighth layer expert, after rus.h.i.+ng through such a distance, he still felt extremely tired. If his heart hadn’t been br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anxiety, he certainly would have rested for a few days.
On the other hand, He Quanxin and the rest quickly bid farewell to their families. Although Cheng Yanli and Lin Wenyu were a little upset at their departure on the eve of new year, they didn’t try to stop them.
He Quanxin was basically the family’s head. Once he made a decision, apart from He Wude, n.o.body could try to correct it.
Thereupon, in merely two hours, they had left the He manor and stepped on the road, heading to Gold Forest country.
Two days later, on a desolate official road, eight horses sped past.
Ahead was a stream. In the cold winter, this stream only had a small layer of ice forming on it. Even the m.u.f.fled sounds of the water running under could be vaguely heard.
One of the riders faintly pulled the reins, and all the horses immediately stopped one after another.
He Quanxin glanced around and said, “Brother Yuan, we’ve already sped for half a day. How about we take a rest for a few moments?”
Yuan Earnest’s face already looked extremely tired. Although his heart was still burning with anxiety, he said without the slightest hesitation, “It sounds reasonable.”
The reason four people had brought along eight horses with them was to enable them to take turns. However, even under such arrangements, the horses were unable to endure such a frantic journey.
By the side of the stream, they broke the layer of ice and washed off, immediately regaining some spirit.
Yuan Earnest’s vision fell on Red Silk beside He Yiming before he sighed, “Nephew He Yiming, where did you buy this horse from? It is truly a treasured colt.”
Among all the eight horses, the burden Red Silk carried was far above the weight carried by the other horses. That three hundred and sixty jin heavy chopper, apart from Red Silk, none of the other horses could endure its weight.
Moreover, He Yiming had been riding on it since the beginning, not switching even once.
However, even under such circ.u.mstances, it still seemed in the best condition among all the eight horses. Furthermore, from its appearance, it even seemed eager for more, as if it still hadn’t enjoyed the two days of hastened journey to
its heart’s content.
As long you are human, you can’t help but envy such a good horse.
He Yiming faintly smiled and lovingly stroked Red Silk’s body a few times, “Uncle Yuan, it was gifted to me by someone.”
“Gifted?” Yuan Earnest’s insides went cold. This colt was simply priceless. He couldn’t imagine who could possibly gift such a treasured horse to He Yiming.
Actually, He Quanxin was quite envious of this horse as well. However, he knew a bit about He Yiming’s experiences. Therefore, he’d no doubts regarding this matter.
Suddenly, a sound of galloping horses sounded from afar. A group of people was rus.h.i.+ng along the official road.
