Qiao Lian'er spotted the tripwire immediately.
She shouted, "Everyone, hold on tight!"
Qiao Xiaomeng and Qiao Zhizhi immediately did as instructed.
"Da Hong, rise." Qiao Lian'er pulled on the reins, and Da Hong leaped high into the air, its body drawing a graceful arc in mid-air before smoothly passing the trip rope and landing steadily on the ground.
Then it spurred its hooves and galloped off into the distance.
"That was close." Qiao Zhizhi patted her chest. "Luckily, Da Hong jumped high."
An ordinary horse would have been tripped and fallen to the ground.
"Damn it, this horse is really good, it's such a pity we didn't get it."
The bandits lying in ambush by the roadside slapped their foreheads in frustration.
Three babies, what money could they possibly have? They came for the horse, wanting to exchange it for silver.
“Akhal-Teke horses are rare in this area. They will definitely come back. Let’s find a different spot to guard them. This time, let’s raise the tripwire a bit higher and see how they can jump over it.”
"Also, these three babies can afford to ride Ferghana horses, so their families must be rich. Let's detain them for now."
As Qiao Lian'er urged the horse on, he pondered, "They're just a few kids, what's there to rob?"
The bandits must have come for the bright red horse, a dazzlingly luxurious vehicle.
If they can't get it, they might try to get it again.
But she asked the people in town and they said there was only one horse trail, so she would have to pass through here to get back.
If these people want to rob, they will change locations, so be very vigilant when they come back.
Ning County is a bit smaller than Yongguan County. It is an old town and doesn't look as new as Yongguan County. However, the streets are bustling with people, and there are teahouses, taverns and shops everywhere. Many of the shops have a history of over a hundred years and have an antique charm. The whole town exudes an elegant atmosphere, and the pedestrians on the street have a rather lazy and leisurely demeanor.
In Yongguan County, things are a bit more restless, probably because of the development of the new city. Many people from the suburbs have become city dwellers, and their mentality has changed.
The three siblings rode their Akhal-Teke horses down the street. The three children were dressed neatly and cleanly, with handsome and delicate features, yet still retaining a touch of childish cuteness, attracting the attention of passersby.
A carriage was approaching, followed by several attendants. Passersby quickly moved aside, and Qiao Lian'er also stepped aside.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a beautiful face as she surveyed her surroundings.
The girl was around fourteen years old, with delicate, fair skin that showed no signs of sun exposure; she was clearly pampered.
"Miss Zhang was detained for half a month and then released. Now I wonder who will suffer the consequences."
"Such a spoiled child at such a young age, how could Magistrate Zhang, a capable magistrate, not discipline him properly?"
"Alas, Magistrate Zhang is busy with official business. Madam Zhang passed away early, and Miss Zhang was raised by a nanny. That nanny only cares about profit. As long as Miss Zhang gives her money, she doesn't discipline her. Over time, this has made Miss Zhang develop this kind of personality."
“Last time she set fire to someone’s restaurant, Magistrate Zhang paid a large sum of money in compensation and said he would confine her to her home for three months, but she was only confined for half a month. He probably couldn’t bear to do it.”
As Qiao Lian'er listened to these words, she thought to herself that this was a real troublemaker. In the world she came from, there were rich second-generation kids who would kill people with their cars. If they couldn't kill them in one go, they would run them over again and again. Here, there were also children of officials who set fires.
Miss Zhang's gaze fell on Da Hong, and she clearly hesitated for a moment.
"Stop! Stop the carriage immediately!"
First, a pair of Shu brocade jade shoes were revealed, and then Miss Zhang walked down.
She went straight to Da Hong's side, stroked her chin and observed him, nodding as she did so.
"This horse is quite good; it's rare to see such a fine Akhal-Teke horse here."
She had one of her own and treasured it like a precious gem, but the difference became apparent when they compared them.
This horse is taller and stronger, and has more vitality.
