The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Could it be that Chu Heyi knew his secret?

No, not possible!

Even his best brother didn't know his secret, so the girl in front of him was only fifteen years old, there was no way she could know it.

But Song Ju still reminded himself in his heart that he had to hide himself more secretly from now on.

"That day I didn't ride a horse because I wanted to show off my skills, but..."

Song Ju suddenly stopped talking.

Chu Heyi asked: "But what?"

Song Ju did not answer, but just asked: "Miss Chu, do you want to run two more laps?"

"Why don't you run? Today's horseback riding lesson has just begun. When I leave the palace, this fellow named Benxiao will definitely be mine."

Song Ju looked at the girl in an apricot-colored outfit with her long hair tied up. The morning sunlight fell on her face, and he felt that she was full of vigor and vitality.

He hadn't seen such a "scenery" for at least two years, and it seemed to be full of infinite vitality.

What he didn't say was that the horse he raised that day was too wild. He took it to drink water, but it kicked him and wanted to bite him. The desire to conquer him instantly rushed out, and he jumped on the horse without caring.

The end result was that the horse was tamed by him, but he was also whipped by Master Zhang.

After Chu Heyi rode Benxiao around the horse farm for two laps, Benxiao knew that she was a capable rider and finally let her ride him.

When Nanny Qi, Baihua and Master Zhang saw Chu Heyi riding Benxiao over, they all felt incredible and their eyes widened involuntarily.

Especially Master Zhang.

This wild horse that many people had failed to tame was not only tamed by Song Ju today, but also ridden by Miss Chu.

It's really unbelievable.

In the past, countless horse trainers were kicked and bitten by Benxiao, and Benxiao left them with indelible psychological trauma.

If they knew that Benxiao was tamed by an unknown horse breeder today, how surprised they would be!

Chu Heyi saw their reactions, spurred his horse and ran past them.

Song Ju rode another horse and followed closely behind.

From that day on, Chu Heyi went to the stable every day to practice horse riding and archery, and it was Song Ju who taught her.

It was also at this time that the people at the horse farm realized what a great archery expert Song Ju was.

Ever since Chu Heyi came, he basically became Chu Heyi's exclusive teacher. Master Zhang no longer let him feed or wash the horses.

However, many times, after Chu Heyi returned to Changqing Palace, Song Ju would still take the initiative to do those things when he was free, as if he was still the unknown horse breeder.

Most of the time, he and Chu Heyi were in silence. They were like old men with their own worries, hiding them and busying themselves with what they were supposed to do.

Sometimes Song Ju didn’t quite understand why Chu Heyi, who was only of marriageable age, seemed to have so much on her mind most of the time.

Doubtful, but never asking.

Perhaps, she was just worried about her father and brother who were fighting in the North. After all, everyone knew that the Chu family's father and son were going to the North just to die.

It mainly depends on how he died in the end.

"Northern Zhou." These two words slipped quietly from the tip of Song Ju's tongue. His eyes turned dark in an instant, like a bottomless pool. His fingertips crushed a trace of dust, and then he sighed: "...Cavalry is really difficult to deal with."

The Northern Zhou cavalry was invincible, and this knowledge seemed to have been engraved into the blood of the Chu family army in the northern border over the years.

At this moment, the night in Changqing City in the northern border is as cool as water, and the autumn wind is like the cry of a monkey, which sounds like a wail in the ears of the northern border soldiers.

Their morale has been low since their last defeat.

The main commander was a lame old general, and the deputy generals on the left and right were the distinguished His Royal Highness King Cheng and the weak Fourth Master Chu.

Faced with the extremely ferocious Northern Zhou army, everyone couldn't help but feel sad.

The news that people from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion were invited to the palace was delivered to the military camp early this morning.

Everyone knew that after this battle in the North, they would never be able to return alive.

They could not defeat the Northern Zhou cavalry, but they could not just give up after losing. They had to defend Changqing City with their flesh and blood after losing the battle. This was the purpose of the emperor inviting the people from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion into the palace.

Even the people of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion became hostages, what other options did they have? They could only build walls with their flesh and blood to protect their relatives far away in their hometown.

The thick darkness of the night deepened the sadness in their hearts.

On the city wall, Chu Zhen and Chu Ren stood side by side. The night wind rustled the corners of their robes. The father and son did not speak to each other for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Zhen let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect the emperor would do this. My Chu family has been guarding the border for generations. Have we ever retreated a step?"

Chu Ren didn't know how to comfort his father.

The emperor's behavior was too cruel for their Chu family.

He was even angrier than his father.

The boundless night spread out, and everywhere you looked was pitch black, without a single light in sight.

Chu Ren began to think, will the victory his sister talked about really come? Why can't he see any hope of victory now?

He kept in mind the treasure bag his sister gave him. He strung the bag with a rope and hung it around his neck. Now he took it out and stroked it, wanting to open it.

But at this moment, the sound of footsteps came from under the city wall. Such footsteps would only be heard in an emergency.

Chu Ren and his father immediately tensed up, waiting for the people downstairs in the city wall to bring the news.

Soon, a soldier came with a young man dressed in black with his head and face covered. "The general sent me."

By listening to the voice, they determined that this person was Shu Xiao.

Chu Zhen and his son immediately took Shu Xiao aside to talk, while the others continued to be on guard.

Shu Xiao took out the stirrups and horseshoes from the bundle and said, "We now have a total of 10,000 pairs of stirrups. They have been transported to the vicinity of Changqing City and can be delivered into the city now."

Shu Xiao followed Chu Yi all the way to Changqing City, saying that they were going to find a miracle doctor, but in fact they were secretly making stirrups and horseshoes, and at the same time they had to receive the ones that Chu Heyi had sent from Shengjing City.

Seeking a doctor for Chu's carriage was just a cover-up.

"The general's intention is to send the stirrups to Changqing City overnight, and have you select 10,000 elite soldiers to practice fighting on horseback in the second half of the night.

"Tomorrow during the day, when the Northern Zhou army tries to attack the city or abuse us, we, Daqi, will pretend to be cowards, and tomorrow night, we will attack them when they are least prepared."

After hearing this, Chu Zhen and his son thought it was a good idea.

The Northern Zhou army must have thought that the morale of the Daqi soldiers was low and they could only defend the city and dared not attack. They would never have thought that the Daqi soldiers dared to attack at night.

Shu Xiao continued, "The general meant that there is no need to inform His Royal Highness Prince Cheng about this matter."

Chu Zhen immediately replied: "It's such a big thing, he will know it even if I don't tell him."

Shu Xiao said: "Then keep it a secret until the night attack is successful, and then let him know."

Chu Ren continued, "Don't worry, father. I will take care of His Royal Highness King Cheng when the time comes!"
