While running, she saw a road out of the corner of her eye, heading towards the mountains.
She suddenly shouted and grabbed the reins with both hands, trying to change the direction of travel. The horse neighed, snorted, and shook its head, trying to break free from her control.
Xie Wanyun bit his lips until they bled. The pain gave him such strength that he managed to twist the horse's head around and gallop towards the hillside.
No matter how strong a horse is, it will eventually use up its energy after running uphill, right?
The horse galloped up the mountain, and a dark forest came towards them. Xie Wanyun lowered his head, but did not dare to loosen the reins in his hands.
Those strangely shaped branches attacked her like sharp swords, flashing past her eyes. Her face was in pain.
Maybe it was a scratch, Xie Wanyun thought vaguely. But now she had no way out.
Yuzhui was hiding in the carriage, her face pale with fear. She regretted why she jumped onto the carriage at that time. If the lady had not come to save her, she would not have gotten on the carriage.
But she was really too anxious at the time. The car was loaded with valuable goods. What if it was lost?
After running for an unknown amount of time, the horse finally let out a long whine, foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, and the carriage overturned.
Xie Wanyun was agile and jumped off the carriage with the jade pendant. He then went forward to check on the horse. He saw that the horse had blood foam on its mouth, its hooves were kicking wildly, and its whole body was twitching. It was obvious that it was dying.
It was obvious that someone had fed the horses drugs containing stimulants first, and perhaps the kettle that exploded in the warehouse was also caused by someone deliberately.
The purpose was to frighten the horse and drive it crazy. Even if Xie Wanyun couldn't be harmed, she would still suffer losses. What a vicious intention.
Wherever there are people, there will be conspiracy and scheming.
Yuzhui trembled and asked, "Madam, what should we do now? Otherwise, I will stay here and you go back to call for help."
Xie Wanyun looked up and saw that they were already deep in the mountains. The horses had been running wildly, and they had already lost their way. Fortunately, the mountain was not high, but the trees were dense, making it easy to get lost once you entered. Finding a way out was also difficult.
He shook his head, "We're lost. We'll have to find another way."
The two walked a few hundred meters along the way they had come, only to find themselves wandering in circles in the forest, unable to get out. As the sun was setting, even Xie Wanyun, usually calm, began to grow anxious.
Yuzhui suddenly screamed, "Madam, did you hear any sound?"
Xie Wanyun also heard it, a low horn sound coming faintly from the distance.
The color quickly drained from her face.
I clearly saw members of the royal family setting out for hunting this morning. Could they be here?
Trespassing into the royal hunting grounds was a serious crime, even unintentionally, because you were very likely an assassin. The guards could kill you on the spot.
The hunting activities of the Mobei royal family are in full swing.
The younger generation was headed by the eldest prince of Mobei, Dahan. All the princes, noble sons, and hostages from various countries surrounded him and obeyed his orders.
With a cannon shot, the wild beasts were driven out by the soldiers and fled in panic in the woods.
Dahan was a stout man with strong arms. He rode his horse at full speed and almost never missed his target with his arrows. One prey after another fell under his bow and arrows.
"The prince is mighty!" everyone cheered in unison.
Jin Bai was also in the crowd. He came here just for fun and only hunted a few pheasants and rabbits symbolically. Seeing Dahan's absent-minded look, he felt funny and walked away, thinking of going somewhere else for a walk.
Dahan laughed heartily, then suddenly, his eyes narrowed and darkened. The grass not far away was swaying, surely hiding some big prey!
Dahan was instantly excited, shouting loudly and galloping over on his horse.
Xie Wanyun just realized that they had entered the royal hunting ground, so he fled with the jade pendant. The two of them couldn't tell the direction, but they just had to run in the same direction!
As they were running, they heard the sound of horse hooves. Looking back, they saw a fully armed knight galloping towards them.
She even saw the knight with his bow drawn and his cold eyes.
Damn, they were discovered after all. A human couldn't outrun a horse, so the two of them quickly hid behind a large tree.
