Chapter 109 The Horse Stumbles
The guard who went to Yanzhou to report the news to the prince rode two horses each. He rode without stopping and arrived at Yanzhou city at noon the next day.
After finding Commander Yun, the exhausted guard rolled to the ground when he got off his horse.
His cracked lips made him speak in a hoarse and anxious voice: "Commander Yun, take me to see the prince!"
Yun Yi was shocked! What big thing happened in the capital?
He hurriedly pulled up his arm, and without caring about the crowds, he used his lightness skills to leap into the temporary general's tent.
After Qin Wang Zhao Defang heard the report from the guards who had rushed over from the palace in the capital, a frightening cold light flashed in his handsome eyes!
[Zhao Yuanfen! Since you are determined to die, I will help you when I return to the capital! ]
His eyes swept over Yun Yi beside him, "Yun Yi, take Si Yu and rush back to the capital immediately. You must protect the princess' safety.
If the princess wants to act rashly, she must be stopped!
Tell the princess that after I finish dealing with the anti-epidemic issues in Yanzhou, I will return to the capital and seek justice for the Luo family!"
The prince is going to risk his life for his beloved, Zhao Yuanfen's head won't stay on his neck for much longer. Yun Yi obeyed the order and left!
Siyu was sweating profusely, and a strand of messy hair was stuck to her flushed face by the sweat.
She was busy treating patients every day and forgot her tiredness. Only when she lay in bed for two hours at night would she feel sore all over and exhausted. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she would fall into a deep sleep. She would wake up immediately at the first crowing of the rooster the next day, and then devote herself to the work of diagnosing and saving patients.
"Miss Siyu, the prince orders you to follow me back to the capital!"
Siyu, who was squatting on the ground feeding the patient medicine, held the medicine bowl in her hand, raised her head and wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve, "The epidemic here has not been completely eliminated. Why did the prince ask me to go back to the capital with you?"
"Something happened at the Luo Mansion. Luo Ning and several guards were injured by Prince Ji. The prince was worried that the princess would act rashly in anger, so he sent us back to protect and dissuade her."
After hearing this, Siyu immediately threw the medicine bowl away!
"Quick! Brother Yun, let's hurry back to the capital!"
Yun Yi and Si Yu rode on two war horses, hurriedly left Yanzhou City, and galloped towards the capital with their horses whipped!
After galloping for more than 200 miles, it was already dark. The outlines of the villages they passed by could no longer be seen under the dim lights. The gloomy sky covered the night with a huge black cloth. Siyu, who was not good at riding, suddenly stumbled and fell off the galloping horse!
:"ah!……"
When Yun Yi heard Siyu's scream, he turned his head and quickly jumped up from the horse's back. He grabbed Siyu who was about to fall to the ground and hugged the girl's soft body.
He touched the ground with his toes and leaped back onto his horse, which had slowed down in time.
Siyu, whose head almost hit the ground, turned pale with fright. She hugged Yun Yi's neck tightly with both hands, and her heart almost flew out of her throat.
"Miss Siyu, are you hurt?" Yun Yi asked with concern while reining in his horse.
Siyu, who was frightened out of her wits, finally regained consciousness and felt the hot air from Yun Yi's mouth spraying on her neck when he spoke.
The masculine aura from him made her face blush, and her heart was pounding like a deer!
Siyu panicked and quickly let go of the arms that were tightly hugging Yun Yi's neck, "Brother Yun, I'm fine!
You...you let me go."
Yun Yi's face also turned red. He jumped off the horse and quickly put the Siyu girl in his arms on the ground.
Both of them blushed with shame, but fortunately, the darkness covered them so no one could see each other clearly. Yun Yi apologized stammeringly, "I'm sorry! Miss Siyu, I... I didn't mean to offend you, I was in a hurry..."
Siyu's heart was still beating wildly. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, interrupting Yun Yi's apology, "Brother Yun, Siyu doesn't blame you.
If it weren't for your quick reaction and agility, Siyu's neck would have been broken.
Brother Yun, thank you for saving Siyu's life!
Siyu has no way to repay you, in the future...if Brother Yun is injured or critically ill, Siyu will definitely save your life to repay your kindness."
Yun Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "Siyu, you should still look forward to me! I don't want to get injured or be critically ill."
Siyu also realized the inappropriateness of what she had just said. Even if she was thinking about how to repay the life-saving grace, how could she hope that someone would be injured or critically ill?
He covered his face with his hands in embarrassment and laughed!
"Brother Yun, the young lady always says that I am bold and open-minded, simple-minded and speak without thinking. What Siyu said just now was really inappropriate, so don't take it to heart."
Yun Yi also smiled, "Miss Siyu has a pure and kind nature, so she has a simple mind. I won't take it to heart."
Siyu then put down her hands that were covering her face and looked back. The outline of the horse she was riding was no longer visible, and she could only hear it neighing softly.
"Brother Yun, my horse might be injured. What should I do?"
Yun Yi walked back to the horse lying on the ground, squatted down and took a closer look, and said with regret, "The horse's front hoof may have stepped on a pit on the ground and broken. What a pity for this good horse!"
Siyu followed, squatted down and stroked the horse's head, tears of heartache in her eyes.
"Brother Yun, don't throw it away. I'll help set its broken leg."
Yun Yi looked up and around. There was a little light in the distance in the darkness. It should be a village.
"Miss Siyu, please wait here for a moment. I will go over there and find a few people to help look after the horses."
Siyu nodded.
Yun Yi used his lightness skills to fly towards the village in the distance.
After a while, he came back with a few young men, carrying lanterns and torches.
Siyu, who was anxiously waiting on the pitch-black road, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Yi led the men to him, and under the light of the lamp, he pointed at the injured horse lying on the ground and said, "This horse has injured its front hoof. Five taels of silver per day. The five of you are responsible for taking good care of it. When we are free, we will come back to get the horse."
Several young men happily agreed in unison.
The high price of one tael of silver a day is just to take good care of a horse. Such a good job is better than pie falling from the sky!
Yun Yi directed several people to move the horses to the side of the road.
Under the light of the torch, Siyu helped the warhorse to reattach the broken front hoof bone and tied it up with a few short wooden sticks.
War horses are very intelligent. They can sense that their masters are treating their wounds and will not abandon them. The horse's head keeps rubbing against Siyu's body affectionately.
Yun Yi took out a hundred taels of silver and paid them, and said, "Build a thatched hut here, and the fodder should be of fine quality.
I will pay you 100 taels of silver first. When I come back to get the horse, if you take good care of it, you will get a reward.”
This one hundred taels of silver was enough for their families to live on for a year. The leading man took the silver excitedly and said, "Don't worry, sir! We will take good care of this horse like our parents!"
Business was more important, so Siyu had to leave her injured warhorse behind and ride back to the capital with Yunyi overnight.
On the bumpy horse's back, Yun Yi held the soft and delicate body of the girl who looked like jade in his arms, and smelled the virgin fragrance of the girl. The 23-year-old bachelor couldn't help but feel excited!
Siyu didn't care about being shy. She leaned her back against Brother Yun's broad and strong chest. Her heart was jumping around like a panicked little rabbit as the horse's hooves rose and fell.
………………
Mo Yan hurriedly walked into Ningxin Garden and said to Yingxue who was guarding outside the door, "Miss Yingxue, please tell the princess that Prince Ji Zhao Yuanfen has left the city today."
Yingxue agreed and went into the house to report to the princess.
After listening to Yingxue's report, Luo Li immediately ordered Mo Yan to come into the house to reply.
After Mo Yan entered the room, he bowed and clasped his fists in salute!
"Reporting to the princess, Prince Zhao Yuanfen of Ji is out of the city today and is taking people to the south of the city for horse racing."
Luo Li immediately perked up!
His eyebrows were raised, and a cold and sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Prince Ji's death date has come, this day next year will be his death anniversary!
Hong Gu, you and I will leave the city. I want to avenge Luo Ning and the others!"
Mo Yan was so frightened that he quickly spoke out to stop her, "Princess, you must not do that!
If you want revenge, you have to wait for the prince to come back and plan carefully before taking action!"
Luo Li glared with her beautiful eyes!
"Mo Yan, do you want to stop this princess?"
Mo Yan's face flushed with anxiety, "Princess, if it's anything else, Mo Yan would never dare to stop me, but you must listen to my advice on this matter!
Prince Ji is a prince, and he is surrounded by many guards with high martial arts skills. Even if the princess succeeds by chance, it will be extremely difficult for her to escape.
Assassinating the prince is a crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of the family! You should think about your family in the Luo Mansion and don't act impulsively!"
Luo Li's bright black eyes rolled a few times and his face darkened!
She stretched out two slender, white fingers and said, "Mo Yan, this princess will give you two choices.
One is to stay out of it and wait obediently in the Qin Palace. The life and death of this princess has nothing to do with your Qin Palace.
One is that you help me to kill the dog King Ji and seek justice for your princess!
...Choose!"
Mo Yan thought about it for a moment, and knew that he couldn't stop it. How could he let the princess take Hong Gu to die alone?
Grit your teeth and make up your mind!
"Mo Yan chooses the second option. Princess, please wait in the Prince of Qin's mansion. I will take people to take Prince Ji's life!"
Luo Li smiled cunningly and winked at Hong Gu. The coolies in Prince Qin's mansion are so easy to order around!
When she turned back to look at Mo Yan, her expression became serious: "I must avenge this grudge myself!
In order to avoid implicating the Luo Mansion and the Qin Palace, we must find a scapegoat in advance.
Mo Yan, take your men to kidnap two of the Second Prince Zhao Yuanxi's guards... No!
Prince Ji and Prince Chen Zhao Yuanxi have always been in cahoots with each other and have always been close to each other. We cannot use the Second Prince as a scapegoat."
Luo Li frowned as she pondered.
He looked up at Mo Yan and asked, "Mo Yan, which prince did Prince Ji Zhao Yuanfen have conflicts with in the past?"
“Last year, Prince Ji and the third prince, Prince Xiang, Zhao Heng, had a conflict over the liquor business.
Prince Ji had more people with him at the time and they took advantage, while Prince Xiang's people suffered losses.
The matter was eventually brought before the emperor, who gave each of his sons fifty lashes of the cane and a scolding before suppressing the matter."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Okay! Let the King of Xiang be the scapegoat!
Mo Yan, take a few shadow guards with high kung fu skills, find a way to kidnap two of the King Xiang's guards, take them to the Shizi Slope Restaurant in the south of the city, and then do this and that..."
Mo Yan secretly admired it in his heart!
[If anyone says that our Princess Qin is a fool again, that person's head must have been kicked by a donkey! ]
The princess had made up her mind, and Mo Yan had no choice but to obey her order and leave.
