Qian Fanji was reading the file. Hearing this, he lifted the curtain of the car and took a look.
The horse had already run far away, and the little man was bumping on the horse's back. In a blink of an eye, the horse turned around and the figure was no longer visible.
Qian Fanji couldn't sit still, so she got out of the carriage and jumped on the horse.
The guards unloaded the carriage neatly and the horses galloped out.
"Master, my subordinates are also going..."
The guards hurriedly looked around for the horses.
Ye Qianning lay on the horse and arrived at the city gate in a blink of an eye. The search at the city gate was not over yet. At first glance, there was a long queue.
Sang Zhi had left the palace an hour ago. If the horse was already running twenty or thirty miles away, she could not wait.
The horse's speed slowed down.
Ye Qianning touched his mane with her small hands and whispered: "Rush over."
The horse seemed to be inspired and neighed and ran past the queue of people.
Pedestrians queuing up to leave the city felt their eyes dazzled when a horse galloped past. Only when they ran past did everyone realize that it was a fast horse.
The crowd began to scream and became noisy. The people in front of the queue looked back. The fast horses headed straight towards the city gate, causing everyone to scatter in fear.
The fast horse did not rush into the crowd until it was almost at the city gate. By this time, the crowd had almost dispersed.
The officers and soldiers at the city gate pointed their spears at the rushing horses.
The horse was timid for a moment, then became energetic again, neighed even louder, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.
Ye Qianning saw a group of officers and soldiers in his eyes. He hugged the horse's neck and raised his little head. Only then did the officers and soldiers not far away see a child on the horse.
"Sir, there is a child on the horse."
"Who cares about her child, breaking into the city gate without authorization is a capital offense."
"The horse seems to be crazy. The child is innocent. Sir, do you think..."
"Shut up, whoever breaks into the city gate will be killed."
The leader drew his long sword, pointed it at the approaching horse and struck it.
Ye Qianning used his hands to make a knife. When his long sword was about to cut into the horse's belly, he quickly broke the hilt of the sword. The sharp hilt spun a few times in the air before falling towards the leading officers and soldiers.
The leading officer and soldier screamed in surprise, almost being stabbed by the handle of the knife. When he raised his head, the horse had already rushed through the city gate.
The spears in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers were scattered on the ground. Everyone was so surprised that they were so fast that they didn't know what happened.
"Here comes someone, chase him quickly." The leading soldier exclaimed.
The soldiers regained their composure one after another, bent down to pick up the spears on the ground, picked up their horses and chased in that direction.
Among the panicked crowd at the gate of the city, Gu Yuan looked horrified, turned around and rushed out of the crowd. If he saw correctly, the child who just rushed out was Miss Xiang's family.
"Quick, follow me out of the city." He called to the young men in the caravan behind him.
"What happened to the Young Master's family?"
"Don't ask, just leave the city first."
Gu Yuanlai didn't say much and ran towards the soldiers who were about to leave the city.
"My lord, wait a moment." He stopped the officers and soldiers who were about to leave the city to pursue him.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate all recognized the Gu family and did not take action when they saw him obstructing him: "Young Master Gu delayed us from arresting the thief. You cannot bear the responsibility."
"I don't mean to stop him, Gu just wants to be with all the officials." Gu Yuan said as the boy brought the horse, and he took it and got on the horse.
"Master Gu, do you want to join us?"
"The doll on the official's horse is General Xiang's daughter. If anything happens to her, you will not be able to escape responsibility."
The leading officers and soldiers were shocked when they heard this: "Are you really General Xiang's daughter?"
