The end of the seventh lunar month had come to an end, welcoming the beginning of the eighth lunar month. The two hottest months of the year in the Imperial Capital city were long over. The end of summer and the beginning of autumn was the best time of the year.
It had been a long time since Yan Liqiang rode Snowstorm Cloud. He ordered the stable to bring Snowstorm Cloud out and then walked out of the main entrance with his glossy steed.
While Yan Liqiang had been working hard lately, Snowstorm Cloud lived a very comfortable life in Deer Villa. It was well-fed, well taken care of by the people, and roamed freely in the ranch. Yan Liqiang heard that it even hooked up with two beautiful mares. When Snowstorm Cloud saw Yan Liqiang again, it seemed to know that it would be able to run to its heart's content outside of Deer Villa. It followed Yan Liqiang very excitedly, snorting loudly from time to time. Its newly-replaced horseshoes crunched noisily on the stone path.
