Another wave of sugar cakes was scattered, triggering a scramble. Some of the sugar cakes were mixed with small pieces of silver, and some were even whole silver ingots as a big prize, so the competition was even fiercer.
To maintain order, inner city troops were stationed on both sides. As long as there was no stampede, a bit of liveliness was fine.
These people all crept up to the front of the crowd, staring at the bridal sedan chair. They exchanged glances, knowing it was time.
If they abduct the bride and make her disappear from the public eye for a while, she will be burdened with the stigma of impurity for the rest of her life. It would be even better if they could abduct her to a remote mountain area. No matter how much the Lin family values Qiao Zhizhi, they will still have to break off the engagement.
They lit the firecrackers they were holding and threw them into the honor guard, instantly turning the once orderly guard into chaos as they scrambled to brush the firecrackers off themselves, becoming like frightened birds.
The leader gave a hand gesture, and immediately someone rushed towards the bridal sedan chair, firmly taking control of it, and then reached out and lifted the curtain.
I instinctively reached out to grab the person, but my hand was empty.
When they saw what was inside, they were immediately dumbfounded.
The bridal sedan chair was empty; there was no sign of the bride.
While they were still stunned, the inner soldiers rushed up, surrounding them in large numbers, drawing their swords, their cold glint flashing.
Lin Songyan also drew his sword from his horse and, with a graceful movement, landed beside the bridal sedan chair.
His face was cold and stern, as if covered with a layer of frost.
He was afraid that Qiao Zhizhi would be frightened, but when he looked inside, he was stunned.
Where is Qiao Zhizhi? His wife disappeared in broad daylight.
But it was clearly he who personally helped her into the sedan chair.
For a moment, Lin Songyan panicked, and the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.
It must have ended up at the Qiao family's place. Maybe when the sedan chair was being moved, a bump caused the person to be thrown out.
He slapped his forehead hard, blaming himself for his negligence: "The team is halting. I'm going back to the Qiao family to take a look."
Just then, a figure emerged from the other side and rear of the sedan chair.
Qiao Lian'er, supporting Qiao Zhizhi, walked over slowly and gracefully.
"I noticed something was wrong just now, so I helped the person downstairs in time," Qiao Lian'er said.
Actually, she heard strange footsteps outside, immediately went invisible, and then put Qiao Zhizhi into her spatial dimension, so these troublemakers couldn't see the bride at all.
There were horses and attendants beside the sedan chair, which could slightly obscure the view. In addition, given the chaos and everyone being too busy to notice them, it's understandable that they didn't notice them.
Lin Songyan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Princess Zhenguo. I can't even imagine what would have happened without you."
He knew in his heart that these thieves were quick and had rushed to the front in the blink of an eye. Moreover, they created chaos first, which showed that they were experienced. No matter how powerful Qiao Lian'er was, a woman's body was weaker after all. How could she be so "timely"?
And then he immediately realized that when Qiao Zhizhi got into the sedan chair, Qiao Lian'er hadn't gotten in at all—
It must be that Qiao Lian'er was worried about something going wrong along the way, so she followed them all the way.
Only someone with the extraordinary abilities of a princess like Zhenguo could handle such a sudden crisis.
If it were anyone else, understanding the unusual nature of this situation would probably send chills down their spine, but Lin Songyan felt a deep sense of respect.
He looked at Qiao Zhizhi with concern: "Did I frighten you?"
"It's no big deal," Qiao Zhizhi said dismissively. "It's just that these people are such a killjoy."
